| Abstract Scope |
The global electrochemical energy storage market ranging from electric vehicles to physical grid storage demands the development of key enabling technologies for high-energy long-life rechargeable batteries. I will describe the development of innovative approaches for the next decade on the design and synthesis of nanostructured materials towards enhanced energy and power densities. Our recent work includes a scalable industrial mature route to transform polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic waste into a superporous activated carbon material for rechargeable LIBs. Carbon‑silicon composite anodes were derived by eletrospinning of PET dissolved precursors, pyrolysis under controlled pressure and temperature, and impregnation with silicon nanoparticles into a superporous connected architecture network. Furthermore, I will describe our work on facile wet synthesis of sulfur particles with superior cycling stability. Several coating strategies can be adopted to mitigate with the shuttling effects, including silicon-oxide, titanium-oxide and hafnium-oxide thin films, which provide a favorable solid–electrolyte interphase layer. |
