Abstract In the production of commercial Li-ion batteries, active materials slurries are generally prepared using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) as binder because its good adhesion properties and electrochemical stability. Unfortunately, there some disadvantages related to use PVdF: most important is toxic environmentally unfriendly solvents, such N -methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP), second high costs. light these considerations, it seemed straightforward investigate suitability water-soluble,...
AbstractThe development of new advanced lubricants is a key factor for the production cleaner and more durable internal combustion engines. New improved antifriction antiwear additives are required. The inclusion nanoparticles known as solid (MoS2 WS2 inorganic fullerenes) in fully formulated engine oils could help to improve performance lubricant engine.The AddNano Consortium, partially funded by European Commission, investigated possibility including fullerenes formulation oils. MoS2...
Fuel cells are very promising technologies for efficient electrical energy generation. The development of enhanced system components and new engineering solutions is fundamental the large-scale deployment these devices. Besides automotive stationary applications, fuel can be widely used as auxiliary power units (APUs). concept a direct methanol cell (DMFC) based on feed solution to anode, thus simplifying safety, delivery, distribution issues typical conventional hydrogen-fed polymer...
Developing high specific energy Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is of vital importance to boost the production efficient electric vehicles able meet customers’ expectation related range vehicle. One possible pathway increase operating voltage Li-ion cell. Cathode materials enabling operation above 4.2 V are available. The stability positive electrode-electrolyte interface still main bottleneck develop cells. Moreover, important research efforts devoted substitution graphite anodes with Li...
Silicon-based composite anodes continue to raise interest for their high theoretical specific capacity, but the complexity of behaviour during battery operation presents an obstacle both characterization and practical application. In this paper we present a comprehensive multiscale model Si-based anode, based on detailed encompassing nano-, micro-, meso-scale details. The is used explore relationship between chemo-mechanical changes in anode components electrode stability operation, through...
Abstract After production and before the use in different applications, hydrogen may need to be purified, transported, compressed stored. Hydrogen is conventionally stored high pressure gas cylinders and, as a liquid phase at low temperatures, opened tanks. These methods present several economic security problems. So, storage or solid carriers suitable method for future applications. absorption desorption metal complex hydrides will discussed. Examples are provided, including role of...
A workflow for evaluation of human and environmental toxicity nanosized bare graphene material intended as a motorcar lubricant nanoadditive.
The production of new automotive catalytic converters requires the increase quantity Platinum Group Metals in order to deal with strict emission standards that are imposed for vehicles. use PGMs coming from recycling spent autocatalysts could greatly reduce cost catalyst industry. This paper presents synthesis novel Three-Way Catalysts (PLTWC, Pd/Rh = 55/5, 60 gPGMs/ft3) and diesel oxidation catalysts (PLDOC, Pt/Pd 3/1, 110 recovered PGMs, without further refinement steps. were characterized...
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are fundamental for the energetic transition necessary to contrast climate change. The characteristics of cathode active materials (CAMs) strongly influence cell performance, so improved CAMs need be developed. Currently, Li(Ni0.8Mn0.1Co0.1)O2 (NMC811) is state-of-the-art among cathodic materials. aim this work optimization procedure produce NMC811: two different syntheses were investigated, co-precipitation and self-combustion methods. For a better understanding...
The hexagonal structure of LiBH 4 at room temperature can be stabilised by substituting the BH − anion with I , leading to high Li-ion conductive materials.
Ageing of automotive catalysts is associated to a loss their functionality and ultimately waste precious resources. For this reason, understanding catalyst ageing phenomena necessary for the design long lasting efficient catalysts. The present work has purpose studying in depth all that occur during ageing, terms morphological modification deactivation active materials: metal particles oxidic support. topic was deeply investigated using specific methodologies (FT-IR, CO chemisorption,...
A density functional theory (DFT) study has been carried out on transition metal phosphates with olivine structure and formula LiMPO4 (M = Fe, Mn, Co, Ni) to assess their potential as cathode materials in rechargeable Li-ion batteries based chemical structural stability high theoretical capacity. The investigation focuses LiMnPO4, which could offer an improved cell (4.1 V) respect the reference LiFePO4 compound, but it is characterized by poor lithium intercalation/de-intercalation kinetics....
