Sustainable Synthesis of Sulfur-Single Walled Carbon Nanohorns Composite for Long Cycle Life Lithium-Sulfur Battery.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are considered one of the most appealing technologies for next-generation energy-storage devices. However, the main issues impeding market breakthrough are the insulating property of sulfur and the lithium-polysulfide shuttle effect, which cause premature cell failure. To face this challenge, we employed an easy and sustainable evaporation method enabling the encapsulation of elemental sulfur within carbon nanohorns as hosting material.

Tuning the morphology of sulfur-few layer graphene composites liquid phase evaporation for battery application.

A comparative study on sulfur-based composite electrodes comprising different few-layer graphene contents prepared a facile evaporation method is presented here. The active material production process employed here, exploring different sulfur-few layer graphene ratios, enabled tuning and optimization of the sample morphology, as confirmed a scanning electron microscopy study. The results reveal that the graphene content is a crucial parameter yielding an optimized morphology of spherical particles composed of an elemental sulfur inner core covered by the carbonaceous compound.

Inkjet Printing Infiltration of the Doped Ceria Interlayer in Commercial Anode-Supported SOFCs.

Single-step inkjet printing infiltration with doped ceria CeYeO (YDC) and cobalt oxide (CoO) precursor inks was performed in order to modify the properties of the doped ceria interlayer in commercial (50 × 50 × 0.5 mm size) anode-supported SOFCs. The penetration of the inks throughout the LaSrCoFeO porous cathode to the GdCeO (GDC) interlayer was achieved by optimisation of the inks' rheology jetting parameters.

Towards enhanced sodium storage of anatase TiOvia a dual-modification approach of Mo doping combined with AlF coating.

Recent studies on anatase TiO have demonstrated its capability of performing as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) even though, due to poor conductivity, realistic applications have not yet been foreseen. In order to try to address this issue, herein, we shall introduce a cost effective and facile route based on the co-precipitation method for the synthesis of Mo-doped anatase TiO nanoparticles with AlF surface coating. The electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the Mo-doped anatase TiO nanoparticles deliver an ∼40% enhanced reversible capacity compared to pristine TiO (139.

Inkjet Printing Functionalization of SOFC LSCF Cathodes.

An important segment of the future renewable energy economy is the implementation of novel energy generation systems. Such electrochemical systems are solid oxide fuel cells, which have the advantage of direct conversion of the chemical energy stored in the fuel to electrical energy with high efficiency. Improving the performance and lowering the cost of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are strongly dependent on finding commercially viable methods for nano-functionalization of their electrodes via infiltration.
