Abstract Extensive research efforts have been devoted to the development of alternative battery chemistry to replace the current technology of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs). Here, we demonstrate that the [Li, Na]-SO2 battery chemistry, already established 30 years ago, has considerable potential to […]
Abstract Li ion batteries (LIBs) are one of the most successful energy storage devices for portable electronics application, electrical vehicles, and utility grids. However, there are still strong needs for higher energy density and lower price materials than what the […]
Abstract Dose, L. Zhang, J. Blauwkamp, W. Lu, and C. S. Johnson* Silicon containing anodes employed in Li-ion cells are known to dramatically boost the energy density of a full LIB battery by providing a high intrinsic capacity via LixSi […]
Abstract Olfactory receptors (ORs) are 7-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors which, when expressed in the olfactory epithelium, play a pivotal role in the sense of smell. However, recent studies have highlighted important roles played by ORs in a variety of other […]
Abstract Sb-related chalcogenides, such as Sb2S3, Sb2Se3, and Sb2(S,Se)3, are of particular interest as light absorbers for solar cells because of their excellent optical properties including easily tunable band-gaps by adjustable composition, high molar extinction coefficients, and large intrinsic dipole […]
Abstract Polymeric binder has turned out to be very critical for stable operation of high capacity silicon (Si) anodes, as the binder could stabilize the electrode films even during the large volume change of Si. In this talk, I will […]
Abstract Recently, various novel mesoporous metal oxides have been widely investigated as electrode materials for LIBs. These studies have opened up a possibility for the development of anode materials with significantly improved Li-storage performance. The mesostructure can be readily designed […]
Abstract Environmentally friendly materials and processes are needed for the sustainable development of batteries [1]. The efforts on going at HIU are briefly presented. The aqueous processing of lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrodes has the potential to notably decrease the battery […]
Abstract On the global demands of high power, high electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies, efforts of developing commercially-viable fuel cells (FC) greatly prevailed for several decades. However, during the recent 10 years or so, the FC developers one by […]
Abstract Forthcoming wearable/flexible electronics with compelling shape diversity and mobile usability have garnered significant attention as a kind of disruptive technology to drastically change our daily lives. From a power source point of view, conventional rechargeable batteries (represented by lithium-ion […]
