Manganese Dioxide As Rechargeable Magnesium Battery Cathode
Rechargeable magnesium battery (rMB) has received increased attention as a promising alternative to current Li-ion technology. However, the lack of appropriate cathode that provides high-energy density and good sustainability greatly hinders the development of practical rMBs. To date, the successful Mg2+-intercalation was only achieved in only a few cathode hosts, one of which is manganese diox...
متن کاملOne-dimensional manganese-cobalt oxide nanofibres as bi-functional cathode catalysts for rechargeable metal-air batteries
Rechargeable metal-air batteries are considered a promising energy storage solution owing to their high theoretical energy density. The major obstacles to realising this technology include the slow kinetics of oxygen reduction and evolution on the cathode (air electrode) upon battery discharging and charging, respectively. Here, we report non-precious metal oxide catalysts based on spinel-type ...
متن کاملGraphene-wrapped sulfur particles as a rechargeable lithium-sulfur battery cathode material with high capacity and cycling stability.
We report the synthesis of a graphene-sulfur composite material by wrapping poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) coated submicrometer sulfur particles with mildly oxidized graphene oxide sheets decorated by carbon black nanoparticles. The PEG and graphene coating layers are important to accommodating volume expansion of the coated sulfur particles during discharge, trapping soluble polysulfide intermedi...
متن کاملRechargeable quasi-solid state lithium battery with organic crystalline cathode
Utilization of metal-free low-cost high-capacity organic cathodes for lithium batteries has been a long-standing goal, but critical cyclability problems owing to dissolution of active materials into the electrolyte have been an inevitable obstacle. For practical utilisation of numerous cathode-active compounds proposed over the past decades, a novel battery construction strategy is required. We...
متن کاملPolyaniline-derived Non-Precious Catalyst for the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Cathode
This paper focuses on a new polyaniline-derived non-precious cathode catalyst with high oxygen-reduction activity, verified in electrochemical and fuel cell testing. The rotating disk (RDE) onset and half-wave potential (E1⁄2) of oxygen reduction were measured at 0.90 V and 0.77 V, respectively. Rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) study revealed very good selectivity in the fourelectron reducti...
