Interphasing Multivalent Batteries

Secondary batteries with multivalent ions for energy storage

The use of electricity generated from clean and renewable sources, such as water, wind, or sunlight, requires efficiently distributed electrical energy storage by high-power and high-energy secondary batteries using abundant, low-cost materials in sustainable processes. American Science Policy Reports state that the next-generation "beyond-lithium" battery chemistry is one feasible solution for...

A Brief Review on Multivalent Intercalation Batteries with Aqueous Electrolytes

Rapidly growing global demand for high energy density rechargeable batteries has driven the research toward developing new chemistries and battery systems beyond Li-ion batteries. Due to the advantages of delivering more than one electron and giving more charge capacity, the multivalent systems have gained considerable attention. At the same time, affordability, ease of fabrication and safety a...

Multivalent Annotations1

Paper is still preferred to digital document systems for tasks involving annotating, folding, juxtaposing, or otherwise treating the document as a tactile object. Based on the Multivalent Documents model, Multivalent annotations bring to digital documents of potentially any source format, from PostScript to SGML, an open ended variety of user-extensible, sharable manipulations. Several very dif...

Multivalent glycosystems for nanoscience

Carbohydrates constitute the most abundant class of biomolecules on Earth. They are “global players” and indeed play many roles. They store energy and water. They serve as metabolic intermediates. They function as stable, raw materials or as intelligent, bioengineered products. They are even active in “social media”, that is, they mediate communication between cells and they store information b...
