Portable electronic devices are negatively impacted by energy and power density limitations of current lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Architectures or materials for faster ion and electron transport are required. Since the diffusion time of ions is somewhat proportional to the square of the diffusion distance, the use of a nanoporous 3D nanocarbon-based electrode that is characterized by short d...

The search for new materials for hydrogen storage is important for the development of future hydrogen energy applications. In this Thesis, it is shown that new materials with interesting properties can be synthesized by the reaction of hydrogen with various nanocarbon precursors. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part is devoted to studies of hydrogen storage in some metalorganic fram...

We describe a machine learning approach to rapidly tune density functional tight binding models for the description of detonation chemistry in organic molecular materials. Resulting enable simulations on several 10s ps scales characteristic these processes, with “quantum-accuracy.” use this investigate early shock 3,4-bis(3-nitrofurazan-4-yl)furoxan, hydrogen-free energetic material known form ...

The review contains information o; n the properties of phase-change materials (PCM) and possibilities their use as basis thermal energy storage. Special attention is given to PCMs with a phase transition temperature ranging between 20 80 °C since such can be effectively used reduce variations in residential industrial rooms. Thus, application construction industry enables one considerably power...

Composites based on polyoxometalates (POMs) have been increasingly attracted by many researchers due to their multitudinous architectures and excellent redox activities as well outstanding proton electron transport capacities. Lately, much research has done POMs composited with well-porous framework materials (including ZIFs, MOFs) or conducting polymers, carbon quantum dot (CQD), graphene, str...

Microstructure Design Strategies In article number 2300051, Qian Fu and co-workers report a microstructure design strategy for dispersing CoPc molecules on macroporous hollow nanocarbon sheets in CO2 electrolysis. The carbon sheets' interconnected structure provides large surface area anchoring with high dispersion promotes reactant mass transport, thus improving the catalytic performance.
