We proudly share that our partners from BeDimensional (BeD) published a new article, entitled: “Hydrogen-Assisted Thermal Treatment of Electrode Materials for Electrochemical Double-Layer Capacitors”, published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. The article explores ways to enhance the performance of electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), which are important for energy storage in various applications. The study focuses on H2-assisted thermal treatment and its effects on the chemical, structural and thermal properties of activated carbon and corresponding electrodes. Contrary to previous studies, the energy density improvement is attributed not to graphitization of the carbon but to the removal of surface contaminants, leading to better surface capacitance. The study highlights changes in active material and binder contents as factors contributing to increased capacitance. Overall, this research shed new light on the relationship between the modifications of the electrode materials induced by H2-assisted thermal treatments and the performance of the resulting EDLCs. We congratulate BeD on their success and wish them continued achievements in their endeavors!

In today's newest Device paper, a deep dive into the optimization of hydrovoltaic devices reveals an important role of salt at the interface! Salinity-dependent interfacial phenomena toward hydrovoltaic device optimization by Tarique Anwar and Giulia Tagliabue Link (OA): https://lnkd.in/g9iysxzZ The bigger picture: Evaporation-driven (ED) fluid flow in porous or nanostructured materials has recently opened a new paradigm for renewable energy generation by converting thermal energy into electrical energy via an electrokinetic pathway. Performance improvements have been largely driven by the optimization of the electrode contacts. Yet, major fundamental questions remain regarding the interfacial phenomena governing hydrovoltaic (HV) devices, particularly concerning the geometrical and chemical characteristics of the system. Together with the lack of modeling tools, this limits the performance and application range of this emerging technology. Overall, our work, which lies between single-nanochannel studies and macroscale porous-system characterization, demonstrates that EDHV devices can operate across a wide range of salinities, with optimal operating conditions being dictated by distinct interfacial phenomena. Thus, it offers crucial insight and a design tool for optimizing EDHV devices. #hydrovoltaic #device #energy #physics #optimization #greenenergy

New nice read on Li-S batteries with sulfur-based cathode stabilised by SWCNT network, resulting in impressive gravimetric and areal energy densities and improved cycle performance. Great to witness how single-wall carbon nanotubes are finding more and more applications in energy storage space. I am confident we will be able to find them soon in virtually every device with the battery around us. Cool! "..As a result, the 3D-printed thick AC-S/SWNT@SWNT cathode delivers outstanding gravimetric/areal capacity (752 mAh/g and 6.41 mAh/cm2 at 0.5C) and cycling performance under high S loading of 8.6 mg/cm2" https://lnkd.in/dNpnVN-k #lithiumionbatteries #science #swnct #OCSiAl #TUBALL #ev #physics #batteries #electrochemistry #nanotechnology #EV #graphene
