Electrolytes and Interphases in Sodium‐Based Rechargeable Batteries: Recent Advances and Perspectives
(Wiley, 2020-05)
For sodium (Na)-rechargeable batteries to compete, and go beyond the currently prevailing Li-ion technologies, mastering the chemistry and accompanying phenomena is of supreme importance. Among the crucial components of ...
Phosphorus-Functionalized Graphene for Lithium-Ion Capacitors with Improved Power and Cyclability
(Wiley, 2021-03)
Herein, we report an easy approach for the preparation of graphene-based materials suitable as electrodes for lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that phosphorus-functionalized ...
Graphene-coffee waste derived carbon composites as electrodes for optimized lithium ion capacitors Author links open overlay panel
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2020-06)
Herein we report an easy, ecofriendly and cheap synthetic approach for the preparation of carbon composites from the pyrolysis and activation of coffee waste and graphene oxide, and their evaluation as potential electrodes ...
Understanding enhanced charge storage of phosphorus-functionalized graphene in aqueous acidic electrolytes
(Elsevier, 2020-11-20)
The mechanisms behind enhanced charge storage of P-functionalized carbons are unraveled for the first time using non-porous graphene oxide treated with phosphoric acid and annealed at either 400 or 800 degrees C. The ...
Towards a High-Power Si@graphite Anode for Lithium Ion Batteries through a Wet Ball Milling Process
(MDPI, 2020-05-27)
Silicon-based anodes are extensively studied as an alternative to graphite for lithium ion batteries. However, silicon particles suffer larges changes in their volume (about 280%) during cycling, which lead to particles ...
UV-Selective Optically Transparent Zn(O,S)-Based Solar Cells
(Wiley, 2020-11)
This work reports experimental evidence of a photovoltaic effect in transparent UV-selective Zn(O,S)-based heterojunctions. Zn(O,S) has a strong interest for the development of UV-selective solar cells with high transparency ...
Nd3+-Doped Lanthanum Oxychloride Nanocrystals as Nanothermometers
(American Chemical Society, 2021-09-16)
The development of optical nanothermometers operating in the near-infrared (NIR) is of high relevance toward temperature measurements in biological systems. We propose herein the use of Nd3+-doped lanthanum oxychloride ...
Fabrication of high-performance dual carbon Li-ion hybrid capacitor: mass balancing approach to improve the energy-power density and cycle life
(Nature, 2020-07-02)
Most lithium-ion capacitor (LIC) devices include graphite or non-porous hard carbon as negative electrode often failing when demanding high energy at high power densities. Herein, we introduce a new LIC formed by the ...
A Multi-Objective Approach for Anti-Osteosarcoma Cancer Agents Discovery through Drug Repurposing
(MDPI, 2020-11-22)
Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary malignant bone tumor. Although nowadays 5-year survival rates can reach up to 60–70%, acute complications and late effects of osteosarcoma therapy are two of the limiting ...
Performance improvement of electrochemical capacitors through the integration of advanced materials and the cell configuration assessment
(2020-10-23)
The electrochemical capacitors or supercapacitors are envisioned as potential next-generation energy storage systems because of their excellent storage capacity, power density, and long-term durability. However, all these ...
