  • Fundamental Studies of the Structure-Property Correlations of Na-ion and K-ion Storage in Non-Graphitic Carbon

    Creator:
    Li, Zhifei
    Abstract:
    Grid-scale energy storage systems are urgently needed to increase the flexibility and rigidity of the grid for modern society and take full advantage of the renewable green energy resources such as solar energy and wind energy. Na-ion batteries (NIBs) and K-ion batteries (KIBs) have been emerged as one of the...

  • Venturing Beyond Crystallinity and Into Amorphous Space : A Na-ion Battery Perspective

    Creator:
    Bommier, Clement
    Abstract:
    As scientists, we have an affinity for order: repeating crystal structures, Euclidean space, continuous functions… Even concepts such as defects are discussed in the context of distracting from order. Things are most logical and best described in straightforward, taxonomical fashion. But what happens when the very application desired is dependent...

  • Storage Battery Chemistries with Earth Abundant Charge Carriers

    Creator:
    Hong, Jessica Junghwa
    Abstract:
    The demand for the development of sustainable energy is an all time high as we burn through limited fossil fuel reserves and as environmental concerns rise every year. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power have limitations due to inconsistent power supply that cannot meet the regular needs...

  • Organic Crystalline Solids : Investigating their Capability, Storage Mechanism and Structural Evolution in Dual-Ion Batteries

    Creator:
    Rodríguez Pérez, Ismael A.
    Abstract:
    Widespread installation of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, has been delayed by the lack of suitable stationary energy storage solutions. Current large-scale technologies, such as pumped hydro and compressed air, are geographically restricted. This is where electrochemical energy storage - batteries or hybrid capacitors can play a...

  • Pushing the limits of graphite : the potential beyond conventional applications in aqueous dual-ion batteries

    Creator:
    Kim, Keun-il
    Abstract:
    The increase in the demand for energy is estimated to be 28 TW by a year of 2050, which is twice of the energy produced in 2010, in response to the unprecedented growth of the global population. Current energy market is heavily relying on the fossil fuel, which brings the...

  • New chemistry for electrochemical energy storage applications

    Creator:
    Wang, Xingfeng
    Abstract:
    Electrochemical capacitors and batteries are two major electrochemical energy storage technologies, which have been investigated extensively to meet the rapidly-growing demand for higher energy, higher power, lower cost and enhanced safety in the past few decades. With the charge storage mechanism of electrostatic charge adsorption desorption via electrical double layers,...

  • Electrochemical Reactions in Aqueous Batteries with Anionic Charge Carriers

    Creator:
    Gallagher, Trenton C.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, the primary objective is to discover more sustainable electrode materials and study new reaction mechanisms using aqueous electrolytes. The first study conducted reveals a reversible conversion reaction from copper to Cu2CO3(OH)2. The reaction mechanism uses OH- and CO32- as charge carriers at the cathode. The results open...

    Creator:
    Zhang, Hanyang
    Abstract:
    Novel donor-typed ternary graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) are synthesized and characterized containing (1) pyrrolidinium cations with DMSO co-intercalates; (2) alkali metal cations with crown ether co-intercalates; and (3) alkali metal cations with polyethylene glycol co-intercalates. Structural and compositional data are obtained for the stable products. A new ether-amine co-intercalate exchange...
