High Performance Supercapacitors Based on Thermal Reduced Graphene Oxide

Perego D., Franz S., Bestetti M., Borioli C., Politecnico di Milano, IT

THERMALLY REDUCED GRAPHENE OXIDE BASED SUPERCAPACITORS HAVE BEEN FABRICATED AND TESTED. ELECTRODES BASED ON METAL SUBSTRATE (TI, AISI304, NI, AL) WERE FABRICATED BY EITHER BY ELECTROPHORESIS AND SPRAY COATING OF GRAPHENE OXIDE SOLUTIONS. ELECTROCHEMICAL TEST [...]

AC Conductivity, Dielectric and Electric Modulus Studies of Nanocrystalline LiCoO2 Particles

Nageswara Rao B., Venkateswarlu M., Satyanarayana N., Pondicherry University, IN

Nanocrystalline LiCoO2 particles were successfully synthesized using acryl amide assisted polymeric citrate process.The formation of phase pure LiCoO2 was confirmed from XRD results. FTIR results confirmed the formation LiCoO2 structure. SEM results showed the formation [...]

Carbon Combustion Synthesis of Lithium Cobaltate

Hobosyan M., Mamyrbaeva Y., Martirosyan K.S., University of Texas at Brownsville, US

We recently developed a novel process Carbon Combustion Synthesis of Oxides (CCSO) to rapidly produce high purity, submicron, porous powders of complex oxides. The crystalline LiCoO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by carbon combustion synthesis, and characterized [...]

Rechargeable Lithium-ion Batteries For Wireless Smart Designs

Mourzagh D., Daniel L., Chami M., Rouault H., Fusalba F., CEA, FR

Wireless communication is today considered as a disruptive technology. Indeed, even if wired systems can easily achieve 100% of reliability, it induces high amount of wiring, which has non negligible impact on the mass and [...]

Magnesium Ion Conducting Polymer Electrolytes: Potential Alternate as Non-lithium Electrolytes for All-Solid-State Battery Applications

Agrawal R.C., Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University, IN

Majority of the portable batteries used today in mobile applications are based on Li+- ion polymer electrolytes and Li-metal electrodes. Li+- salts/Li- metal encounter many serious inherent limitations viz. very reactive, difficult to handle in [...]

Synthesis and characterization of Al-Al2O3/PVDF core-shell nanodieletrics for energy storage

Badi N., Mekala R., University of Houston, US

Extensive interest is being invested into the research of polymer based nanodielectric films. Such a material provides a more practical energy storage solution primarily for embedded capacitors and can be extended for discrete capacitor devices. [...]

Learning from an Informatics Approach Applied to Materials Design

Poleski J., Krein M., Barto R., Lockheed Martin, US

Nanomaterials will significantly impact commercial and military applications when context and understanding of their vast design and property space is achieved. Identifying the design parameters of important materials is one of the first steps in [...]

High Throughput Screening of Nanomaterials: The Arkansas Research Consortium in Nanotoxicity, a partnership between Arkansas and the FDA

Howard P.C., Biris A.S., Salamo G.J., Zharov V.P., Buchanan R.A., Arkansas Research Alliance, US

The state of Arkansas and the FDA Center of Toxicological Research have begun a collaborative effort to develop techniques for high-throughput, rapid screening of existing and yet-to-be developed nanomaterials. To accomplish this the Arkansas Research [...]

Advancement of the GoodNanoGuide: A compendium of best practices for the global nanotechnology community

Sreniawski M.J., Harper B.J., Harper S.L., Harper B.J., Harper S.L., Oregon State University, US

The GoodNanoGuide project is an internet-based wiki that was conceived to meet the needs of global nanotechnology stakeholders (Kulinowski and Jaffe, 2009). The GoodNanoGuide was designed to facilitate translation of disparate nanoEHS research into practical [...]
