NaBH4 in solidified aluminosilicate gel: a new hydrogen storage with interesting properties

Buhl J.-Ch., Schomborg L., Rüscher C.H., Leibniz University Hannover, DE

A new type of safe storage of NaBH4 of high fuel density providing an easy release of hydrogen is presented. NaBH4 exhibits a high gravimetric storage capacity (2.4 l H2/g). However, rapid hydrolysis reaction already [...]

Novel Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Taige M., Schubert T.J.S., Beyersdorff T.F., Iolitec - Ionic Liquids Technologies GmbH, DE

For many applications in consumer electronics and e-mobility lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are the energy source of choice because of their high energy-to-weight-ratio, lack of memory effect and low discharge when not in use. However, [...]

Ionic Liquids as Sorption Cooling Media

Schubert T.J.S., Beyersdorff T., Sauer S., Römich C., Merkel N., Schaber M. Koch K., Iolitec - Ionic Liquids Technologies GmbH, DE

We have shown their use in a sorption cooling device in cooperation with the institute of technical thermodynamic Karlsruhe (ITTK). To realize an absorption-based system with a working pair using an IL instead of common [...]

Ionic Liquids as Heat Transfer Medium

Schubert T.J.S., Sahin H., Beyersdorff T., Iolitec - Ionic Liquids Technologies GmbH, DE

Based on our investigations we will report an overview about thermally stable ILs. By pre-selecting a comprehensive matrix of different anions and cations from our substance library of more than 600 compounds, using known physical [...]

Ionic Liquids as Novel Dispersing Agents for Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Stabilization of Nanomaterials – Safe-to-Handle Dispersions

Beyersdorff T.F., Schubert T.J.S., Stiemke F., Iolitec - Ionic Liquids Technologies GmbH, DE

In this contribution we will present the use of ILs as green solvents for the sizecontrolled synthesis of metal nanoparticles and the influence of the anion on the size of the synthesized materials (Fig 1). [...]
