Book Research on carbon based and metal based negative electrode materials via DFT calculation for high potassium storage performance  a review

Download or read book Research on carbon based and metal based negative electrode materials via DFT calculation for high potassium storage performance a review written by Yuefang Chen and published by OAE Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2023-10-12 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key R&D concern in the domain of new energy in recent years has been the large-scale development of electrochemical energy storage. However, the steep increase in pricing has constrained the further expansion of lithium-ion batteries, primarily due to the ongoing depletion of their scarce lithium supplies. A potential candidate material at the moment is the potassium-ion battery (KIB), which has an anode made of carbon and/or an alloy and rich reserves, offering an excellent theoretical capacity and ideal working voltage. More significant advancements are still required to achieve long life and high energy density, despite the fact that some significant breakthroughs have been reported. The most recent findings from research on carbon-based [graphite, hard carbon (HC), and nanoporous carbon] and alloy-based (mainly including Sb, Sn, P, and its compounds) anodes for KIBs are compiled in this document. Numerous simulations at the atomic level based on particular chemical interactions, phase transitions, ion/electron transport dynamics, and conduction band spin utilizing density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been conducted to thoroughly investigate the storage mechanism of K+ on various electrode materials. Moreover, this paper examined contemporary structural modification techniques used in carbon- and alloy-based anode electrode materials and applied DFT calculations to confirm the advancement of its thorough tests. To promote the manufacturing of rechargeable KIBs, the challenges and potential of KIBs were also explored in future research.

Book Electrochemical Energy Storage for Renewable Sources and Grid Balancing

Download or read book Electrochemical Energy Storage for Renewable Sources and Grid Balancing written by Patrick T. Moseley and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity from renewable sources of energy is plagued by fluctuations (due to variations in wind strength or the intensity of insolation) resulting in a lack of stability if the energy supplied from such sources is used in 'real time'. An important solution to this problem is to store the energy electrochemically (in a secondary battery or in hydrogen and its derivatives) and to make use of it in a controlled fashion at some time after it has been initially gathered and stored. Electrochemical battery storage systems are the major technologies for decentralized storage systems and hydrogen is the only solution for long-term storage systems to provide energy during extended periods of low wind speeds or solar insolation. Future electricity grid design has to include storage systems as a major component for grid stability and for security of supply. The technology of systems designed to achieve this regulation of the supply of renewable energy, and a survey of the markets that they will serve, is the subject of this book. It includes economic aspects to guide the development of technology in the right direction. - Provides state-of-the-art information on all of the storage systems together with an assessment of competing technologies - Features detailed technical, economic and environmental impact information of different storage systems - Contains information about the challenges that must be faced for batteries and hydrogen-storage to be used in conjunction with a fluctuating (renewable energy) power supply
