Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of redox-active molecules on mesoscopic substrates exhibit two-dimensional conductivity if their surface coverage exceeds the percolation threshold. Here, we show for the first time that such molecular charge transport laye ...
Fluorescent dihydroxypyridine ligands were prepared by attaching pyrene-, dansyl-, and methoxycoumarin-fluorophores via dimethyleneamine linkers. The reaction of these ligands with [(p-cymene)RuCl2]2 or [(C6H5CH2NMe2H)RuCl2]2Cl2 resulted in the formation o ...
A novel polyol synthesis was adopted to synthesize nano-structured LiMnPO4. This route yields well-crystallized nanoparticles with platelet morphology that are only similar to 30 nm thick oriented in the b direction. The obtained material presented a good ...
LiMn2O4 is one of the important cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries. Standard ab initio studies within local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) are not able to reproduce the intrinsic insulating electro ...
The synthesis of water-sol., organometallic macrocycles is described. They were obtained by self-assembly in reactions of the half-sandwich complexes [{Ru(C6H5Me)Cl2}2], [{Ru(p-cymene)Cl2}2], [{Rh(Cp)Cl2}2], and [{Ir(Cp*)Cl2}2] with the ligand 5-dimethylam ...
The conventional strategy of overcharge protection for lithium ion batteries uses redox molecules having oxidation potential higher than the cathodic materials in the electrolyte. Here we propose a novel approach by using redox molecules having reduction p ...
Electrochem. insertion of lithium in nanoporous and CVD samples of anatase was studied by chronoamperometry. The currents following cathodic and anodic potential steps were monitored as a function of film thickness, temp., and electrolyte concn. The time d ...
A new generation of high power Li-ion batteries that avoid carbon as anodic material replacing it with the spinel Li4Ti5O12 has been studied in this work. For these new Li-ion cells new electrolyte compositions can be considered. The main work of this thes ...
Alternative cathode materials were investigated for application to high voltage lithium ion batteries. Manganese based materials were considered due to the low cost and environmentally sustainable impact. Layer-structured oxide and phospho-olivine material ...
