Suppressed self-discharge of an aqueous supercapacitor using Earth-abundant materials
Samuel Devese, Thomas Nann
Supercapacitors (aka electrostatic double-layer capacitors -- EDLCs) offer excellent power storage capacity and kinetics, but suffer under rapid self-discharge. We introduced a zeo…
High voltage carbon-based cathodes for non-aqueous aluminium-ion batteries
Shalini Divya, Thomas Nann
Four different forms of carbon: activated carbon (AC) from human hair, AC from hemp fibers, a carbon fullerene extract consisting of C and C fullerene (CFEx) and Supe…
Solid-electrolyte interphases (SEI) in nonaqueous aluminum-ion batteries
Nicolò Canever, Fraser R. Hughson, Thomas Nann
Nonaqueous aluminum-ion batteries are an interesting emerging energy storage technology, offering a plethora of advantages over existing grid energy storage solutions. Carbonaceous…
A C/VO core-sheath nanofibrous cathode with mixed-ion intercalation for aluminium-ion batteries
Nicolò Canever, Thomas Nann
A new nanofibrous material, consisting of a conductive carbon core and an external layer made of vanadium oxide, has been studied as a cathode for aluminium-ion batteries. The mate…
Molybdenum dichalcogenide cathodes for aluminium-ion batteries
Shalini Divya, James H. Johnston, Thomas Nann
Many successful battery electrodes are based on 2D-layered materials. We have studied aluminium-ion batteries using molybdenum dichalcogenides: \ce{MoS2}, \ce{MoSe2} and MoSSe as a…
