Abstract Rechargeable potassium-ion batteries have been gaining traction as not only promising low-cost alternatives to lithium-ion technology, but also high-voltage energy storage systems. However, their development and sustainability are plagued by the lack of suitable electrode materials capable allowing reversible insertion large potassium ions. Here, exploration database for potassium-based has led us discover ion conducting layered honeycomb frameworks. They show capability ions at...
Substoichiometric titanium oxide -supported Pt catalysts were prepared and their electrochemical properties, particularly the effects of high-potential conditions on activity stability catalysts, compared to those catalyst. Polarization measurements using membrane electrode assemblies revealed that cathode shows a similar for oxygen reduction reaction as catalyst at . A holding test ( vs anode) demonstrated is quite stable against high potential up single cell was operated , voltage with...
Using sodium, instead of lithium, in rechargeable batteries is a way to circumvent the lithium's resource problem. The challenge find an electrode material that can reversibly undergo redox reactions sodium-electrolyte at desired electrochemical potential. We proved indigo carmine (IC, 5,5'-indigodisulfonic acid sodium salt) work as positive-electrode not only lithium-, but also sodium-electrolyte. discharge capacity IC-electrode was ~100 mAh g(-1) with good cycle stability either Na or Li...
The world is at the cusp of a new era where pivotal importance being attached to development sustainable and high-performance energy storage systems. Potassium-ion batteries are deemed not only as cheap battery candidates, but also penultimate high-voltage systems within monovalent-cation chemistries. However, their performance sustainability undermined by lack suitable electrolytes for operation particularly due limited availability cathode materials. Here, potential ionic liquids based on...
Electrochemically active lithium sulfide–carbon composite positive electrodes, prepared by the spark plasma sintering process, were applied to all-solid-state secondary batteries with a glass electrolyte. The electrochemical tests demonstrated that cells showed initial charge and discharge capacities of ca. 1010 , respectively, which higher capacity coulombic efficiency (ca. 91%) than nonaqueous liquid electrolytes 27%, respectively). ex situ S K-edge X-ray absorption fine structure...
The performance of 5,7,12,14-pentacenetetrone (PT) as an organic active material for rechargeable lithium batteries was investigated. A positive-electrode incorporating PT showed initial discharge capacity more than 300 mAh/g(PT) with average voltage 2.1 V vs. Li+/Li. obtained corresponded to a four-electron redox behavior and is twice that conventional material, cobalt oxide (LiCoO2). quantum calculation based on the density functional theory (DFT) also performed clarify mechanism...
The morphology of electrodeposited lithium in room-temperature ionic liquids was investigated by ex situ SEM observations, and the dependence distribution nuclei on current density discussed with respect to lithium-ion diffusion coefficient. It concluded that deposits are better distributed a decreased size when is increased range where deposition charge-transfer controlled. Under larger at which controlled, dendritic observed, although well over large area. so ions slower than ion...
