  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Structure-Property Relationships of Disordered Electronic Materials : From Crystalline to Amorphous

    Creator:
    Surta, Todd Wesley, Jr.
    Abstract:
    Two perovskite materials (Bi0.5(A)0.5)(Sc0.5Nb0.5)O3, where A = K+ and Na+ were synthesized phase pure for the first time. Their structures were determined by indexing synchrotron X-ray diffraction data and subsequent combined Rietveld refinement on neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction data revealing significant disorder on the A-sites of these materials. A...

  • 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,...

  • Transition Metal Oxides for Aqueous Electrochemical Energy Storage

    Creator:
    Jiang, Heng
    Abstract:
    In the 21st century, environmental deterioration is now an indisputable fact. Reliable and economically viable electricity systems based on renewable sources are urgently needed to replace the environmentally detrimental fossil fuels. The feasibility of incorporating renewable-but-intermittent solar and wind energy heavily depends on the development of cost-effective and safe technologies,...

  • 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...

  • 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...

    Creator:
    Shin, Woochul
    Abstract:
    Humanities have been craving more freedom and conveniences in whatever form. Carriages evolved to cars and ultimately to aircraft so that one can reach any place in the globe within a day. The mobile phone has enabled people to make a phone call without a need to find a phone...

  • Exploratory Studies Within the Exotic Lyonsite Structure

    Creator:
    Tang, Joseph N.
    Abstract:
    Structure-property relationships have always underpinned the field of solid state chemistry; dependable structural descriptions are integral to understanding and controlling the physical properties of inorganic compounds old and new. While a handful of crystal structures are celebrated for their versatility, flexibility, and functionality, the existence of more exotic structures is...
