Toward Titanium Carbide Batteries Many batteries and capacitors make use of lithium intercalation as a means storing transporting charge. Lithium is commonly used because it offers the best energy density, but also there are difficulties in larger cations without disrupting crystal structure host. Lukatskaya et al.

Pseudocapacitive charge storage is based on faradaic charge-transfer reactions occurring at the surface or near-surface of redox-active materials. This property great interest for electrochemical capacitors because substantially higher capacitance obtainable as compared to traditional double-layer electrode processes. While high levels pseudocapacitance have been obtained with nanoscale materials, development practical structures that exhibit pseudocapacitive properties has challenging. The...
