Monitoring Active Sites for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction at Model Carbon Surfaces
(RSC, 2021-03-25)
Carbon is ubiquitous as an electrode material in electrochemical energy conversion devices. If used as support material, the evolution of H2 is undesired on carbon. However, recently carbon-based materials are of high ...
The influence of interfacial interactions on the conductivity and phase behaviour of organic ionic plastic crystal/polymer nanoparticle composite electrolytes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-02-21)
Organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) have been recognised as promising solid-state electrolyte materials for next-generation energy storage devices. Recently, the addition of polymer nanofillers to OIPCs has led to the ...
Single-Ion Conducting Polymer Nanoparticles as Functional Fillers for Solid Electrolytes in Lithium Metal Batteries
(American Chemical Society, 2021-11-03)
[EN]Composite solid electrolytes including inorganic nanoparticles or nanofibers which improve the performance of polymer electrolytes due to their superior mechanical, ionic conductivity, or lithium transference number ...
Polymorphism in Non-Fullerene Acceptors Based on Indacenodithienothiophene
(Wiley, 2021-07)
Organic solar cells incorporating non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) have reached remarkable power conversion efficiencies of over 18%. Unlike fullerene derivatives, NFAs tend to crystallize from solutions, resulting in bulk ...
Chemical Upcycling of PET Waste towards Terephthalate Redox Nanoparticles for Energy Storage
(MDPI, 2021-11-03)
Over 30 million ton of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is produced each year and no more than 60% of all PET bottles are reclaimed for recycling due to material property deteriorations during the mechanical recycling ...
Organic batteries based on just redox polymers
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]Redox-active polymers have gained interest as environmentally friendly alternative to inorganic materials in applications such as electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. All-polymer batteries were first disregarded with ...
Innovative Electrolytes Based on Ionic Liquids and Polymers for Next-Generation Solid-State Batteries
(ACS, 2019-02-25)
Electrolytes based on organic solvents used in current Li-ion batteries are not compatible with the next-generation energy storage technologies including those based on Li metal. Thus, there has been an increase in research ...
Innovative Polymers for Next‐Generation Batteries
(Wiley, 2020-01-23)
Lithium-ion batteries are part of modern life, being present in daily-used objects such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, watches, sport accessories, electric scooters, and cars. The next-generation batteries require ...
Single- Versus Dual-Ion UV-Cross-Linked Gel Polymer Electrolytes for Li–O2 Batteries
(Americal Chemical Society, 2021-01-04)
Lithium-O2 batteries represent one of the most appealing candidates for battery electric vehicles (BEV) due to its remarkable theoretical high energy density, similar to fossil fuels. Solid polymer electrolytes represent ...
A trade-off between ligand and strain effects optimizes the oxygen reduction activity of Pt alloys
(RSC, 2022-10-20)
To optimize the performance of catalytic materials, it is paramount to elucidate the dependence of the chemical reactivity on the atomic arrangement of the catalyst surface. Therefore, identifying the nature of the active ...
