  • Study of Garnet Type Electrolyte Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ Structure and Electrochemical Performance

    Creator:
    Wang, Yan
    Abstract:
    Cubic phase Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ (LLZO) is a promising solid electrolyte for all solid-state lithium-ion battery, due to its reasonable ionic conductivity, stable against metallic Li, wide chemical window, and thermal and chemical stability. The main aim of this thesis is to investigate the influences of different synthesis methods on the structure...

  • 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,...

  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • 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...
