LiH2PO4Crystal as a Solid Electrolyte

Graphene quantum dots as the electrolyte for solid state supercapacitors

We propose that graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with a sufficient number of acidic oxygen-bearing functional groups such as -COOH and -OH can serve as solution- and solid- type electrolytes for supercapacitors. Moreover, we found that the ionic conductivity and ion-donating ability of the GQDs could be markedly improved by simply neutralizing their acidic functional groups by using KOH. These neut...

Magnesium Ethylenediamine Borohydride as Solid-State Electrolyte for Magnesium Batteries

Solid-state magnesium ion conductors with exceptionally high ionic conductivity at low temperatures, 5 × 10-8 Scm-1 at 30 °C and 6 × 10-5 Scm-1 at 70 °C, are prepared by mechanochemical reaction of magnesium borohydride and ethylenediamine. The coordination complexes are crystalline, support cycling in a potential window of 1.2 V, and allow magnesium plating/stripping. While the electrochemical...

Electrolyte and Solid-Electrolyte Interphase Layer in Lithium-Ion Batteries

The supply and the management of the energy are particularly at the centre of our daily concerns and represent a socio-economic priority. Indeed, while cars use fossil fuel as the main source of energy for over a century, the depletion of the oil reserves and the necessity to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions, stimulate the development of electric vehicles. Therefore, one of the main challeng...

Solid Electrolyte Interphases: A Review of Solid Electrolyte Interphases on Lithium Metal Anode (Adv. Sci. 3/2016)

An all solid-state electrochemical electrolyte analyzer.

Ion-selective electrodes have been applied to analysis of blood electrolytes with some success. However, currently available ion-selective electrode systems tend to be elaborate and expensive. We describe a clinical electrolyte analyzer in which inexpensive ion-selective electrodes are used. The elec‘trodes are in the configuration of thin wires and are all solid in construction. They may be di...
