Download or read book Fast Ion Transport in Solids written by B. Scrosati and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main motivation for the organization of the Advanced Research Workshop in Belgirate was the promotion of discussions on the most recent issues and the future perspectives in the field of Solid State lonics. The location was chosen on purpose since Belgirate was the place were twenty years ago, also then under the sponsorship of NATO, the very first international meeting on this important and interdisciplinary field took place. That meeting was named "Fast Ion Transport in Solids" and gathered virtually everybody at that time having been active in any aspect of motion of ions in solids. The original Belgirate Meeting made for the first time visible the technological potential related to the phenomenon of the fast ionic transport in solids and, accordingly, the field was given the name "Solid State lonics". This field is now expanded to cover a wide range of technologies which includes chemical sensors for environmental and process control, electrochromic windows, mirrors and displays, fuel cells, high performance rechargeable batteries for stationary applications and electrotraction, chemotronics, semiconductor ionics, water electrolysis cells for hydrogen economy and other applications. The main idea for holding an anniversary meeting was that of discussing the most recent issues and the future perspectives of Solid State lonics just twenty years after it has started at the same location on the lake Maggiore in North Italy.

Download or read book Na ion Batteries written by and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers both the fundamental and applied aspects of advanced Na-ion batteries (NIB) which have proven to be a potential challenger to Li-ion batteries. Both the chemistry and design of positive and negative electrode materials are examined. In NIB, the electrolyte is also a crucial part of the batteries and the recent research, showing a possible alternative to classical electrolytes – with the development of ionic liquid-based electrolytes – is also explored. Cycling performance in NIB is also strongly associated with the quality of the electrode-electrolyte interface, where electrolyte degradation takes place; thus, Na-ion Batteries details the recent achievements in furthering knowledge of this interface. Finally, as the ultimate goal is commercialization of this new electrical storage technology, the last chapters are dedicated to the industrial point of view, given by two startup companies, who developed two different NIB chemistries for complementary applications and markets.

Download or read book Conducting Polymer Electrodes for Thermogalvanic Cells written by Kosala Wijeratne and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fossil fuels are still the dominant (ca. 80%) energy source in our society. A significant fraction is used to generate electricity with a heat engine possessing an efficiency of approximately 35%. Therefore, about 65% of fossil fuel energy is wasted in heat. Other primary heat sources include solar and geothermal energies that can heat up solid and fluids up to 150°C. The growing demand and severe environmental impact of energy systems provide an impetus for effective management and harvesting solutions dealing with waste heat. A promising way to use waste heat is to directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy by thermoelectric generators (TEGs). Solid state TEGs are electronic devices that generate electrical power due to the thermo-diffusion of electronic charge carriers in the semiconductor upon application of the thermal field. However, there is another type of thermoelectric device that has been much less investigated; this is the thermogalvanic cell (TGCs). The TGC is an electrochemical device that consists of the electrolyte solution including a reversible redox couple sandwiched between two electrodes. In our study, we focus on iron-based organometallic molecules in aqueous electrolyte. A temperature difference (???) between the electrodes promotes a difference in the electrode potentials [???(??)]. Since the electrolyte contains a redox couple acting like electronic shuttle between the two electrodes, power can be generated when the two electrodes are submitted to a temperature difference. The focus of this thesis is (i) to investigate the possibility to use conducting polymer electrodes for thermogalvanic cells as an alternative to platinum and carbon-based electrodes, (ii) to investigate the role of viscosity of the electrolyte in order to consider polymer electrolytes, (iii) to understand the mechanisms limiting the electrical power output in TGCs; and (iv) to understand the fundamentals of the electron transfer taking place at the interface between the polymer electrode and the redox molecule in the electrolyte. These findings provide an essential toolbox for further improvement in conducting polymer thermogalvanic cells and various other emerging electrochemical technologies such as fuel cells, redox flow battery, dye-sensitized solar cells and industrial electrochemical synthesis.
