The Primarily focus on Graphene Aerogel, its synthesis and structural integrity together with high electrical conduction. Graphene could be a new nanocarbon that has, single-, bi- or few- layers of carbon atoms forming membered rings. Mechanically powerful and electrically semiconductive graphene aerogels will be produced by either essential drying or freeze of gel precursors integration from the reduction of graphene substance with L-ascorbic acid. In distinction to ways in which utilize physical cross-links between GO, this approach provides valency carbon bonding between the graphene sheets. The graphene aerogels put together possess large surface areas and pore volumes, creating those materials to a feasible possibility to be used in energy repository, catalysis, and sensing applications. We've additionally showcased some applications for Graphene Aerogel such as their electrical conductivities, Lithium-ion batteries and electrical phenomenon devices, Supercapacitors and photocatalysis.

Multifunctional behaviour viz., ferroelectric, ferromagnetic and magnetodielectric coupling has been reported in a number of nanocomposites. The latter were synthesized by growing nanoparticles of different kinds within a suitable matrix. Different morphologies of the particles were introduced. Both natural as well as synthetic mesoporous materials were used to prepare nanocomposite systems. Mesoporous structures with large surface areas and pore volumes were found to be effective in developing most efficient drug delivery systems. For identical reasons such structures were suitable as catalysts in various industrially important reaction processes, as humidity and gas sensors, as magnetic sensors. Mesoporous carbon based nanocomposites used as electrodes were found to improve the efficiency of lithium-ion batteries. Nanocomposites using mesoporous carbon and carbon nanotubes were shown to improve the performance of dye sensitized solar cells. In this article, the above mentioned developments are reviewed and discussed.

The goal of this work is to enhance understanding of critical design aspects that would prevent automotive lithium-ion battery packs from catastrophic failures. Modeling lithium-ion batteries is a complex multiscale multi-physics problem. The most dangerous energy producing component of a lithium ion cylindrical cell, jellyroll, is a layered spiral structure, which consists of thin layers of electrodes and separator only microns thick. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using commercial explicit finite element code LS-DYNA to understand the structural integrity of lithium-ion batteries subjected to crushing condition through computer simulation. The jellyroll was treated as homogeneous material with an effective stress-strain curve obtained through characterization experiments of representative jellyroll samples and individual electrode layers. Physical and numerical impact tests have been conducted on cylindrical cells using developed drop test system. Results of material homogenization, experimental drop testing, and initial structural simulations are discussed. The investigation of structural cell deformations coupled with thermal heat generation and distribution after the crash brings us one step closer to accurate modeling of the entire battery pack that consists of hundreds of cells.

AlPO4 nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical deposition method and used for the surface modification of MoO2 to improve its structural stability and electrochemical performance. Structure and surface morphology of pristine and AlPO4-coated MoO2 anode material were characterized by electron microscopy imaging (SEM and TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). AlPO4 nanoparticles were observed, covering the surface of MoO2. Surface analyses show that the synthesized AlPO4 is amorphous, and the surface modification with AlPO4 does not result in a distortion of the lattice structure of MoO2. The electrochemical properties of pristine and AlPO4-coated MoO2 were characterized in the voltage range of 0.01–2.5 V versus Li/Li+. Cyclic voltammetry studies indicate that the improvement in electrochemical performance of the AlPO4-coated anode material was attributed to the stabilization of the lattice structure during lithiation. Galvanostatic charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies reveal that the AlPO4 nanoparticle coating improves the rate capability and cycle stability and contributes toward decreasing surface layer and charge-transfer resistances. These results suggest that surface modification with AlPO4 nanoparticles suppresses the elimination of oxygen vacancies in the lattice structure during cycling, leading to a better rate performance and cycle life.
