Abstract In this work, a method for the formation of planar supercapacitors, which combines electrophoretic deposition of composite electrode materials based on CNTs and ruthenium oxide, and laser engraving, is proposed. The features of electrophoretic deposition are considered and the influence of the main technological modes on the morphology and composition of the formed layers of electrode materials is determined. The conducted studies of the electrophysical characteristics of the formed samples confirmed the possibility of producing planar capacitors with a high capacity and their potential applicability for a number of applications in microelectronics.

Organic composite electrode materials based on aromatic polyimide (PI) and electron conductive polythiophene (PT) have been prepared by a facile in situ chemical oxidation polymerization method. The optimized composite electrode PI30PT delivers a remarkable high-rate cyclability, achieving a high capacity of 89.6 mA h g−1 at 20 C with capacity retention of 94% after 1000 cycles.

Abstract Understanding of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation process in novel battery systems is of primary importance. Alongside increasing powerful in-situ techniques, searching for readily-accessible, non-invasive, and low-cost tools to probe battery chemistry is highly demanded. Here, we applied distribution of relaxation time (DRT) analysis to interpret in-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results during cycling, which is able to distinguish various electrochemical processes based on their time constants. By building direct link between SEI layer and the cell performances, it allows us track the formation and evolution process of SEI layer, diagnose the failure of cell, and unveil the reaction mechanism. For instance, in a K-ion cell using SnS2/N-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) composite electrode, we found that the ion-transport in the electrolyte phase is the main reason of cell deterioration. In the electrolyte with potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (KFSI), the porous structure of the composite electrode was reinforced by rapid formation of a robust SEI layer at SnS2/electrolyte interface and thus the KFSI-based cell delivers a high capacity and good cycleability. This method lowers the barrier of in-situ EIS analysis, and helps public researchers to explore high-performance electrode materials.

Binders play an important role in electrode processing for energy storage systems. While conventional binders often require hazardous and costly organic solvents, there has been increasing development toward greener and less expensive binders, with a focus on those that can be processed in aqueous conditions. Due to their functional groups, many of these aqueous binders offer further beneficial properties, such as higher adhesion to withstand the large volume changes of several high-capacity electrode materials. In this review, we first discuss the roles of binders in the construction of electrodes, particularly for energy storage systems, summarize typical binder characterization techniques, and then highlight the recent advances on aqueous binder systems, aiming to provide a stepping stone for the development of polymer binders with better sustainability and improved functionalities.

Reversible solid oxide cells (rSOC) enable the efficient cyclic conversion between electrical and chemical energy in the form of fuels and chemicals, thereby providing a pathway for long-term and high-capacity energy storage. Amongst the different fuels under investigation, hydrogen, methane, and ammonia have gained immense attention as carbon-neutral energy vectors. Here we have compared the energy efficiency and the energy demand of rSOC based on these three fuels. In the fuel cell mode of operation (energy generation), two different routes have been considered for both methane and ammonia; Routes 1 and 2 involve internal reforming (in the case of methane) or cracking (in the case of ammonia) and external reforming or cracking, respectively. The use of hydrogen as fuel provides the highest round-trip efficiency (62.1%) followed by methane by Route 1 (43.4%), ammonia by Route 2 (41.1%), methane by Route 2 (40.4%), and ammonia by Route 1 (39.2%). The lower efficiency of internal ammonia cracking as opposed to its external counterpart can be attributed to the insufficient catalytic activity and stability of the state-of-the-art fuel electrode materials, which is a major hindrance to the scale-up of this technology. A preliminary cost estimate showed that the price of hydrogen, methane and ammonia produced in SOEC mode would be ~1.91, 3.63, and 0.48 $/kg, respectively. In SOFC mode, the cost of electricity generation using hydrogen, internally reformed methane, and internally cracked ammonia would be ~52.34, 46.30, and 47.11 $/MWh, respectively.
