  2. 6. Properties and applications of materials based on graphite oxide

    Author : Andreas Nordenström; Aleksandr V. Talyzin; Thomas Wågberg; Andrey Turchanin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Graphene; Graphite Oxide; Graphene Oxide; Swelling; Phase Transition; Intercalation; Activated Graphene; Activated Carbon; Supercapacitors; Neutron Reflectometry;

    Abstract : Graphite oxide (GO) is a hydrophilic, layered material prepared by oxidation of graphite. In the first part of this thesis, we studied materials produced from GO by intercalation and functionalization. The second part of the thesis was focused on supercapacitor applications of high surface area carbons prepared from GO using chemical activation. READ MORE

  4. 7. Paper-based Supercapacitors

    Author : Britta Andres; Håkan Olin; Mats Sandberg; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; graphene; graphite; paper; nano fibrillated cellulose; supercapacitor; electric double-layer capacitor; energy storage; roll-to-roll; coating; kinetic energy recovery;

    Abstract : The growing market of mobile electronic devices, renewable off-grid energy sources and electric vehicles requires high-performance energy storage devices. Rechargeable batteries are usually the first choice due to their high energy density. However, supercapacitors have a higher power density and longer life-time compared to batteries. READ MORE

  5. 8. Low-Cost, Environmentally Friendly Electric Double-Layer Capacitors : Concept, Materials and Production

    Author : Britta Andres; Håkan Olin; Christina Dahlström; Jonas Örtegren; Renyun Zhang; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electric Double-Layer Capacitor; Graphite; Cellulose Nanofibers; Large-Scale; Mass Balancing; Metal-Free;

    Abstract : Today’s society is currently performing an exit from fossilfuel energy sources. The change to sustainable alternativesrequires inexpensive and environmentally friendly energy storagedevices. However, most current devices contain expensive,rare or toxic materials. These materials must be replaced bylow-cost, abundant, nontoxic components. READ MORE

  6. 9. Design and Characterisation of new Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries

    Author : Linda Fransson; Anthony West; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; in situ X-ray diffraction; graphite; Li-ion battery; anode materials; intermetallics; structure-property relationships; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi; Inorganic Chemistry; oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : Reliable ways of storing energy are crucial to support our modern way of life; lithium-ion batteries provide an attractive solution. The constant demand for higher energy density, thinner, lighter and even more mechanically flexible batteries has motivated research into new battery materials. Some of these will be explored in this thesis. READ MORE

  7. 10. Surface Phenomena in Li-Ion Batteries
