Decorated Carbon Nanotubes for Electrochemical Energy Storage (EES) systems

摘要: Electrochemical Energy Storage (EES) systems have various applications ranging from large‐scale generation and transmission‐related systems, to distribution networks, customer/end‐user sites or electrical mobility and transportation. [1] Still higher performance and more environmentally acceptable component materials are continuously required. This can only be overcome by major advances in materials with nanomaterials playing a central role. Lithium‐Ion batteries, by far the most common form of EES system, share three common features: two electrodes and an ionically conducting electrolyte which provides means of transporting ions to and from the component electrodes. The electrodes comprise a current collector and an active material. Improvement in the design of one or more of these features may lead to EES systems with improved performance, delivering higher energy densities and characteristics …
