Sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide based aqueous electrolytes exhibit a wide electrochemical stability window of up to 2.6 V when the water-to-salt molar ratio falls below 2:1, enabling the fabrication of high-voltage rechargeable aqueous sodium-ion batteries ...
Mesoscopic solar cells based on nanostructured oxide semiconductors are considered as a promising candidates to replace conventional photovoltaics employing costly materials. However, their overall performances are below the sufficient level required for p ...
The MnO4–/MnO42– redox couple has a positive redox potential, high electrochemical reversibility and high solubility, up to 3.62 M at room temperature. Careful optimization of the electrolyte composition and the potential limits eliminates the side reactio ...
Physics-based models of electrochemical cells are of great interest for the future battery management systems (BMSs), due to their accuracy and capability to predict cell physical states. One of their main disadvantages, when compared to equivalent circuit ...
Pt is the state-of-the-art anode catalyst in direct methanol fuel cells. Here we report that Ni2P promotes the activity and stability of Pt in electrochemical methanol oxidation. Nanoparticles of Ni2P and Pt were co-deposited on a carbon support and their ...
The development of practical solar-driven electrochemical fuel generators requires the integration of light absorbing and electrochemical components into an architecture that must also provide easy separation of the product fuels. Unfortunately, many of th ...
This paper describes a first prototype harvesting the acoustic energy using electrochemical storage devices. In particular, the harvesting system is composed by an Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC) suitably coupled with an electroacoustic abso ...
There is considerable interest in developing solid electrolytes for rechargeable lithium batteries as they have the potential to increase both energy d. due to incorporation of a lithium metal anode and safety of batteries due to the fact that they are non ...
The interface between two immiscible liquids, i.e. oil and water, is an extremely attractive scaffold to self-assemble nanoparticles (NP) in arranged films. The liquid-liquid interfaces (LLIs) are defect-free and pristine by the nature, they are transparen ...
Nanostructured metal oxide semiconductors have shown outstanding performances in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, but limitations in light harvesting and charge collection have necessitated further advances in photo-electrode design. Herein, we ...
