In the present work, we unveil a facile and effective method to directly grow Ni–Mo–Co oxy-hydroxide–based 3-dimensional hierarchical nanostructures on carbon microfibers (nano-on-micro) by using a facile hydrothermal synthesis route. Further, the electrochemical activity for directly grown fiber electrode as well as electrode formed by slurry coating of active material formed after hydrothermal reaction has been investigated. In this study, the metal ratios (nickel and cobalt) were selected to cover the wide spectrum of the concentration in order to obtain the optimum concentration for the best electrochemical performance. Electrochemical analysis of these ternary metal oxy-hydroxide–based active materials on the carbon microfiber shows significantly high electrochemical activity with a specific capacitance of 519 Fg−1 in hydrothermally activated sample and 890 Fg−1 in a slurry coated sample (at 1 Ag−1). This simple technique provides a novel method to fabricate high energy-storage devices with the advantage of being lighter and flexible and can be easily integrated for various flexible electronic applications potential applications including e-textiles, personal electronics, military apparel devices, and antimicrobial and biomedical textiles.

Ni3S2 nanowires were synthesized in situ using a one-pot hydrothermal reaction on Ni foam (NF) for use in supercapacitors as a positive electrode, and various contents (0.3−0.6 mmol) of Co(OH)2 shells were coated onto the surfaces of the Ni3S2 nanowire cores to improve the electrochemical properties. The Ni3S2 nanowires were uniformly formed on the smooth NF surface, and the Co(OH)2 shell was formed on the Ni3S2 nanowire surface. By direct NF participation as a reactant without adding any other Ni source, Ni3S2 was formed more closely to the NF surface, and the Co(OH)2 shell suppressed the loss of active material during charging–discharging, yielding excellent electrochemical properties. The Co(OH)2–Ni3S2/Ni electrode produced using 0.5 mmol Co(OH)2 (Co0.5–Ni3S2/Ni) exhibited a high specific capacitance of 1837 F g−1 (16.07 F cm−2) at a current density of 5 mA cm−2, and maintained a capacitance of 583 F g−1 (16.07 F cm−2) at a much higher current density of 50 mA cm−2. An asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) with Co(OH)2–Ni3S2 and active carbon displayed a high-power density of 1036 kW kg−1 at an energy density of 43 W h kg−1 with good cycling stability, indicating its suitability for use in energy storage applications. Thus, the newly developed core–shell structure, Co(OH)2–Ni3S2, was shown to be efficient at improving the electrochemical performance.

AbstractThe current Li-based battery technology is limited in terms of energy contents. Therefore, several approaches are considered to improve the energy density of these energy storage devices. Here, we report the combination of a heteroatom-based gel polymer electrolyte with a hybrid cathode comprising of a Li-rich oxide active material and graphite conductive agent to produce a high-energy “shuttle-relay” Li metal battery, where additional capacity is generated from the electrolyte’s anion shuttling at high voltages. The gel polymer electrolyte, prepared via in situ polymerization in an all-fluorinated electrolyte, shows adequate ionic conductivity (around 2 mS cm−1 at 25 °C), oxidation stability (up to 5.5 V vs Li/Li+), compatibility with Li metal and safety aspects (i.e., non-flammability). The polymeric electrolyte allows for a reversible insertion of hexafluorophosphate anions into the conductive graphite (i.e., dual-ion mechanism) after the removal of Li ions from Li-rich oxide (i.e., rocking-chair mechanism).

Research Findings

Abstract Nanofluid is a colloidal mixture consisting of nano-sized particles dispersed in a liquid medium. It improves heat transfer properties and promotes high energy efficiency in a wide spectrum of engineering applications. In recent years, particularly in the automotive industry, the addition of nanofluid in diesel/biodiesel as an additive for ICE has become an attractive approach to promote enhanced combustion efficiency and emission reduction due to their superior thermophysical properties. Many researchers have previously demonstrated that the addition of nanoparticles in diesel/biodiesel fuel improved the overall engine combustion characteristics. As a whole, this study aims to summarize the recent research findings related to the effect of nanoparticles on the fuel properties and engine combustion efficiency. Furthermore, different types of additive blended with varying fuel properties are also compared and discussed. Lastly, the advantages and prospects of using nanofluid as an additive fuel are summarized for future research opportunities.

AbstractHigh-energy-density and low-cost calcium (Ca) batteries have been proposed as ‘beyond-Li-ion’ electrochemical energy storage devices. However, they have seen limited progress due to challenges associated with developing electrolytes showing reductive/oxidative stabilities and high ionic conductivities. This paper describes a calcium monocarborane cluster salt in a mixed solvent as a Ca-battery electrolyte with high anodic stability (up to 4 V vs. Ca2+/Ca), high ionic conductivity (4 mS cm−1), and high Coulombic efficiency for Ca plating/stripping at room temperature. The developed electrolyte is a promising candidate for use in room-temperature rechargeable Ca batteries.

Lithium-Ion Capacitor (LIC) has shown promising performance to meet the needs of high energy and power-density-energy storage system in the era of electric vehicles nowadays. The development of electrode materials and electrolytes in recent years has improvised LIC performance significantly. One of the active materials of LIC electrodes, activated carbon (AC), can be synthesized from various biomass, one of which is the water hyacinth. Its abundant availability and low utilization make the water hyacinth as a promising activated carbon source. To observe the most optimal physical properties of AC, this study also compares various activation temperatures. In this study, full cell LIC was fabricated using LTO based anode, and water hyacinth derived AC as the cathode. The LIC full cell was further characterized to see the material properties and electrochemical performance. Water hyacinth derived LIC can achieve a specific capacitance of 32.11 F/g, the specific energy of 17.83 Wh/kg, and a specific power of 160.53 W/kg.

B2 Structure

The structural and electrochemical properties of the Ti–Ru–Fe–O system have been studied over the whole ternary metal compositional range, keeping constant the oxygen content at 30 at.%. The phase diagram was explored systematically by varying the composition of the material along one of the following axes: (i) constant Ru content of 16 at. %; (ii) constant Ti/Ru ratio of 2; (iii) constant Ti/Fe ratio of 1.6. For O/Ti ratios equal or below unity, the most prominent peaks observed in the x-ray diffraction patterns belong to a B2 structure. For O/Ti ratio larger than unity, stable titanium oxide phases are formed, which coexist with a cubic Fe-like or hcp-Ru like phases depending on the Fe/Ru ratio. Powder compositions with stoichiometry close to Ti2RuFeO2 are of interest due to good electrocatalytic properties, long-term stability, and low Ru content.
