Unlocking Water's Potential for Energy Storage: Abundant Materials for a Ubiquitous Problem

Creator:

Leonard, Daniel P.

Abstract:

Water is an absolute necessity for life as we know it. It provides a useful medium in which chemical reactions take place that allowed for the development of single cellular organisms. When combined with the evolutionary accident that was pho- tosynthesis, water became not only a useful medium chemical reactions,...

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...

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...
