An in situ formed Pd nanolayer as a bifunctional catalyst for Li-air batteries in ambient or simulated air.

چکیده
We demonstrate for the first time that a Pd nanolayer, which is in situ formed on the Ni foam via the galvanic exchange method, greatly improves the energy output, the round-trip efficiency and the cyclability of the aprotic Li-air battery in ambient or simulated air.

Studying lithium-ion battery packs cooling system using water-nanofluids composition
In this study, the Li-ion batteries temperature increase during the discharge process was measured empirically and evaluated using numerical simulation. Moreover, the battery packs cooling using the water, air and water-nano composition fluids such as water-alumina, water-copper oxide, and water-gold was studied through numerical simulation. Accordingly, the battery cooling was simulated by CFD...

0.1016/j.nanoen.2 lsevier Ltd. All rig thors. uthor. : [email protected] Abstract Development of efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts from earth abundant elements, simultaneously active for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), remains to be a grand challenge for electrocatalysis. Herein we firstly synthesized a new type of bifunctional catalyst (NCNT/CoxMn1 xO)...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube/Co3O4 composite for air electrode of lithium-air battery
A carbon nanotube [CNT]/Co3O4 composite is introduced as a catalyst for the air electrode of lithium-air [Li/air] batteries. Co3O4 nanoparticles are successfully attached to the sidewall of the CNT by a hydrothermal method. A high discharge capacity and a low overvoltage indicate that the CNT/Co3O4 composite is a very promising catalyst for the air electrode of Li/air batteries.
متن کاملOxygen Selective Membranes for Li-Air (O2) Batteries
Lithium-air (Li-air) batteries have a much higher theoretical energy density than conventional lithium batteries and other metal air batteries, so they are being developed for applications that require long life. Water vapor from air must be prevented from corroding the lithium (Li) metal negative electrode during discharge under ambient conditions, i.e., in humid air. One method of protecting ...
متن کاملN,P-Codoped Carbon Networks as Efficient Metal-free Bifunctional Catalysts for Oxygen Reduction and Hydrogen Evolution Reactions.
The high cost and scarcity of noble metal catalysts, such as Pt, have hindered the hydrogen production from electrochemical water splitting, the oxygen reduction in fuel cells and batteries. Herein, we developed a simple template-free approach to three-dimensional porous carbon networks codoped with nitrogen and phosphorus by pyrolysis of a supermolecular aggregate of self-assembled melamine, p...
