  • 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...

  • Degradation of graphite electrodes in acidic bromine electrolytes

    Creator:
    Bistrika, Alexander A.
    Abstract:
    As the world's power needs grow, the demand for power from renewable resources, such as wind or solar is increasing. One major drawback associated with these renewable resources is that the power output is dependent on environmental factors, such as cloud cover and wind speeds. This allows the possibility of...

  • Preparation and Properties of Porous Carbon Materials

    Creator:
    Xing, Zhenyu
    Abstract:
    Porous carbon is indispensable in modern technology applications. It is used for energy storage, gas separation, water purification, catalyst support, and chromatography. The diversity of its applications stems from its unique properties, including high specific surface area, tunable pore volume, and chemical stability. Specifically, the large surface area provides high...

  • Analyzing the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Surface Reactions using Density Functional Theory

    Creator:
    Sprowl, Lynza H.
    Abstract:
    The interactions of chemical species with a solid surface play a role in many everyday applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, and degradation reactions. Understanding the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics via rate constants and equilibrium constants, which require knowledge of the adsorbed species’ entropy, is essential for tuning these surface...

  • 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...

  • 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...

    Abstract:
    The performance of solid metallic anodes on a solid electrolyte was determined experimentally and data on cell current, cell voltage, open-circuit cell potential, and cell energy are presented. Fifteen-mole percent calcia-stabilized zirconia was used as the electrolyte, a platinum-oxygen electrode was used as the cathode, and 1000° C was the...
