New paper published in ChemSusChem on electrospun Nb-Ti-fiber electrodes for battery application
New paper published in ChemSusChem. Our joint work with the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP Greifswald) demonstrates mixed Ti-Nb metal oxide electrodes for lithium ion application. Using electrospinning, the fiber mats are free of binder, free-standing, and can be directly used as electrodes. Per nanoscale engineering, the fibers also already contained sufficient amounts of conductive carbon within each fiber, so that no additional conductive phase needed to be added.
New paper published on new cell concept for capacitive deionization
New paper published in ChemSusChem on a new multi-channel system to significantly boost the desalination capacity for capacitive deionization.
Two papers published in Sustainable Energy & Fuels on SiOC for lithium-ion batteries and carbon onions for lithium-sulfur batteries
New paper published on the use of electrospun SiOC with tin nanoparticles as lithium ion battery electrodes in Sustainable Energy & Fuels. Also, new paper published on inverse vulcanization with carbon onions for lithium sulfur batteries in Sustainable Energy & Fuels.
New paper published in Chemistry of Materials
New paper published in Chemistry of Materials on the use of titanium disulfide as sodium intercalation material in aqueous media. In our quest to establish ion intercalation materials for water desalination, we demonstrate titanium disulfide as a battery-like electrode material highly suited to remove sodium ions from saline solutions. Pairing with nanoporous carbon to accomplish chlorine removal, no ion exchange membrane is needed in this hybrid Faradaic desalination concept.
