Redox-flow batteries, based on their particular ability to decouple power and energy, stand as prime candidates for cost-effective stationary storage, particularly in the case of long discharges storage times. Integration renewables subsequent need energy is promoting effort development mature emerging redox-flow technologies. This review aims at providing a critical analysis technologies that can potentially fulfill cost requirements enable large scale mainly aqueous systems. A...
The challenge to the use of electronically conducting polymers as electrode active materials in supercapacitors is outperform high-power, double-layer carbon (DLCSs). present study demonstrates that a hybrid supercapacitor with p-doped poly(3-methylthiophene) (pMeT) positive and an activated negative outperforms specific power DLCSs without reduction energy while maintaining good performance cyclability over 10,000 cycles. Impedance spectra data galvanostatic charge-discharge cycles C//pMeT...
This paper presents the work carried out within a European Union (EU) project which led to development of 3 V and 1.5 kF preseries supercapacitor modules 2 kW stacks based on hybrid cells with poly(3-methylthiophene) as positive electrode activated carbon negative propylene carbonate-tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate electrolyte. These prototypes, display concept cell operating high-surface-area conventional electronically conducting polymer, both commercially available, nontoxic...
The electrical properties of eumelanin, a ubiquitous natural pigment, have fascinated scientists since the late 1960s. For several decades, hydration-dependent eumelanin mainly been interpreted within amorphous semiconductor model. Recent works undermined this paradigm. Here we study protonic and electronic charge carrier transport in hydrated thin film form. Thin films are ideal candidates for these studies they readily accessible to chemical morphological characterization potentially...
Biocompatible and biodegradable materials that store electrochemical energy are attractive candidates for applications in bioelectronics electronics everywhere. We report on the discovery of storage properties pigment melanin supercapacitors flexible micro-supercapacitors.
Three-dimensional graphene nanosheets (3D-GNS) were used as cathode catalysts for microbial fuel cells (MFCs) operating in neutral conditions. 3D-GNS showed high performance towards oxygen electroreduction media with current densities and low hydrogen peroxide generation compared to activated carbon (AC). was incorporated into air-breathing cathodes based on AC three different loadings (2, 6 10 mgcm−2). Performances MFCs that had the highest performances power of 2.059 ± 0.003 Wm-2, 1.855...
Supercapacitors (SCs) are playing a key role for the development of self-powered and self-sustaining integrated systems different fields ranging from remote sensing, robotics medical devices. SC miniaturization integration into more complex that include energy harvesters functional devices valuable strategies address system autonomy. Here, we discuss about novel fabrication approaches.

Conducting polymers have been widely explored as coating materials for metal electrodes to improve neural signal recording and stimulation because of their mixed electronic–ionic conduction biocompatibility. In particular, the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is one best candidates biomedical applications due its high conductivity good electrochemical stability. Coating with PEDOT has shown enhance electrode's performance by decreasing impedance increasing charge...
Flexible and lightweight fiber-shaped micro-supercapacitors have attracted tremendous attention as next-generation portable electronic devices, due to their high flexibility, tiny volume, wearability.
Supercapacitors are fast-charging energy storage devices of great importance for developing robust and climate-friendly infrastructures the future. Research in this field has seen rapid growth recent years, therefore consistent reporting practices must be implemented to enable reliable comparison device performance. Although several studies have highlighted best analysing data from such devices, there is yet an empirical study investigating whether researchers correctly implementing these...
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can play a crucial role in the decarbonization process that is being tackled worldwide; millions of electric vehicles are already provided with or directly powered by LIBs, and large number them will flood markets within next 8–10 years. Proper disposal strategies required, sustainable environmental impacts need to be considered. Despite still finding little applicability industrial field, recycling could become one most options handle end life LIBs. This review...
Several types of lithium ion conducting polymer electrolytes have been synthesized by hot‐pressing homogeneous mixtures the components, namely, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as matrix, trifluoromethane sulfonate , and tetrafluoborate respectively, salt, gamma‐aluminate a ceramic filler.
