Advances in electrochemical devices such as batteries, fuel cells, and water-splitting membranes are making global transition towards clean and renewable energy more possible than ever. Foundational to (electro)chemical and catalytic transformations in these devices are a stable…
In the last decade new materials appeared that are candidates to be used as an electrolyte in a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, SOFC. Some materials show high ionic conductivity but lack in important properties, such as mechanical stability or chemical compatibility with other materials …
The AsF6- anion, in the crystalline polymer electrolyte PEO6:LiAsF6, was replaced with the larger N(SO2CF3)2- anion. This produced an increase in the room temperature ionic conductivity of 1.5 orders of magnitude. It is believed that the enhancement is the result of the disrupti…
Renewable energy is being increasingly deployed at both small and large scales. At large scale, the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources prohibits a full integration with the current power grid. Among others, redox flow battery is a promising energy storage technology…
Recently, scientific research studies focus on renewable energy solutions as well as energy efficiency in managing the upcoming climate crisis which manifests itself in the form of global warming. However, the chaotic nature of renewable energy sources caused energy storage tech…
Yakın zamanlarda yapılmış olan çalışmalar, PTFE’nin tavsiye edilen sıcaklıkların üzerinde kullanıldığında, toksik kimyasallar ve gazların çevreye ve gıdalara salınma riski taşıdığını ortaya koymuştur. Bu kimyasalların bazı durumlarda insanlarda kansere neden olduğu bulunmuştur. …
Dynamic windows enable electronic control of light and heat flow and demonstrate potential for increased energy efficiency in buildings and improved well-being for the people inside them. Despite four decades of research and development, the traditional approaches to dynamic win…
