Renewable Energy Storage

Sustainable biomass has attracted a great attention in developing green renewable energy storage devices (e.g., supercapacitors) with low-cost, flexible and lightweight characteristics. Therefore, cellulose has been considered as a suitable candidate to meet the requirements of sustainable energy storage devices due to their most abundant nature, renewability, hydrophilicity, and biodegradability. Particularly, cellulose-derived nanostructures (CNS) are more promising due to their low-density, high surface area, high aspect ratio, and excellent mechanical properties. Recently, various research activities based on CNS and/or various conductive materials have been performed for supercapacitors. In addition, CNS-derived carbon nanofibers prepared by carbonization have also drawn considerable scientific interest because of their high conductivity and rational electrochemical properties. Therefore, CNS or carbonized-CNS based functional materials provide ample opportunities in structure and design engineering approaches for sustainable energy storage devices. In this review, we first provide the introduction and then discuss the fundamentals and technologies of supercapacitors and utilized materials (including cellulose). Next, the efficacy of CNS or carbonized-CNS based materials is discussed. Further, various types of CNS are described and compared. Then, the efficacy of these CNS or carbonized-CNS based materials in developing sustainable energy storage devices is highlighted. Finally, the conclusion and future perspectives are briefly conferred.

Mesoporous carbon is a promising material having multiple applications. It can act as a catalytic support and can be used in energy storage devices. Moreover, mesoporous carbon controls body’s oral drug delivery system and adsorb poisonous metal from water and various other molecules from an aqueous solution. The accuracy and improved activity of the carbon materials depend on some parameters. The recent breakthrough in the synthesis of mesoporous carbon, with high surface area, large pore-volume, and good thermostability, improves its activity manifold in performing functions. Considering the promising application of mesoporous carbon, it should be broadly illustrated in the literature. This review summarizes the potential application of mesoporous carbon in many scientific disciplines. Moreover, the outlook for further improvement of mesoporous carbon has been demonstrated in detail. Hopefully, it would act as a reference guidebook for researchers about the putative application of mesoporous carbon in multidimensional fields.

Abstract Topological index (TI) is a numerical invariant that helps to understand the natural relationship of the physicochemical properties of a compound in its primary structure. George Polya introduced the idea of counting polynomials in chemical graph theory and Winer made the use of TI in chemical compounds working on the paraffin's boiling point. The literature of the topological indices and counting polynomials of different graphs has grown extremely since that time. Metal-organic network (MON) is a group of different chemical compounds that consist of metal ions and organic ligands to represent unique morphology, excellent chemical stability, large pore volume, and very high surface area. Working on structures, characteristics, and synthesis of various MONs show the importance of these networks with useful applications, such as sensing of different gases, assessment of chemicals, environmental hazard, heterogeneous catalysis, gas and energy storage devices of excellent material, conducting solids, super-capacitors and catalysis for the purification, and separation of different gases. The above-mentioned properties and physical stability of these MONs become a most discussed topic nowadays. In this paper, we calculate the M-polynomials and various TIs based on these polynomials for two different MONs. A comparison among the aforesaid topological indices is also included to represent the better one.

The need for integrated passive components which meet the stringent power system requirements imposed by increased data rates, signal path density and challenging power distribution network topologies in integrated systems yield diverse motivations for high density, miniaturized capacitors capable of quickly sourcing large quantities of current. These diverse motivations have led to the realization of high density capacitor structures through the means of several technologies. These structures have been evaluated as high-speed, energy storage devices and their respective fabrication technologies have been closely compared for matching integrated circuit speed and density increase, chip current requirements, low resistance, low leakage current, high capacitance and compatibility with relatively high frequencies of operation (~1GHz). These technologies include devices that utilize pn junctions, Schottky barriers, optimized surface area techniques and the utilization of high dielectric constant (high-K) materials, such as hafnium oxide, as a dielectric layer through the means of atomic layer deposition (ALD). The resulting devices were micro-machined, large surface area, thin, high-density capacitor technologies optimized as embedded passive devices for thin silicon interposers. This work outlines the design, fabrication, simulation and testing of each device revision using standard silicon microfabrication processes and silicon interposer technologies. Consequently, capacitive storage devices were micro-machined with geometries which maximize surface area and exhibit the capability of sourcing 100A of current with a response time greater than 100 A/nsec through the use of thin layered, ALD high-K materials. The simulation and testing of these devices show general agreement when subjected to a standard ring-down procedure. This paper provides descriptions and design challenges encountered during fabrication, testing and integration of these passive devices. In addition, potential device integration and implementation strategies for use in silicon interposers are also provided. The modification and revision of several device generations is documented showing increased device capacitance density, maximized current capabilities and minimized effects of series inductance and resistance. The resulting structures are thin, capacitive devices that may be micro-machined using industry standard Si MEMS processes and are compatible with Si interposer 3D technologies. The subsequent design processes allow integrated passive components to be attached beneath chips in order to maximize system area and minimize the chip real estate required for capacitive energy storage devices.

MXenes have been under a lot of scientific investigation due to the novel characteristics that are inherent to two-dimensional nanostructures. There are a multitude of MXenes being studied and one of the most popular among these would be the titanium carbides. The general formula for titanium carbide is Ti n+ 1C n for the nanosheets produced that have undergone much study in the past few years. These studies include how the etching process affects the final MXene sheet and how the post-processing via heat or combining with polymers and/or inorganic compounds influences the mechanical and electrical properties. It is found that different etching techniques can be used to change the electrical properties of the produced MXenes and different post-processing techniques can be used to further change the properties of the nanosheets. The possible application of the titanium carbide MXenes as chemical sensing and energy storage materials will be briefly discussed. MXene nanosheets show promise in such devices due to their high surface area to volume ratio and their specific surface structure with feasible surface functionalization.
