  2. 1. Exploration of Non-Aqueous Metal-O2 Batteries via In Operando X-ray Diffraction

    Author : Chenjuan Liu; Torbjörn Gustafsson; Laurence Hardwick; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Keywords: lithium-oxygen batteries; sodium-oxygen batteries; metal-air; in operando X-ray diffraction; cathode materials; Kemi med inriktning mot materialkemi; Chemistry with specialization in Materials Chemistry;

    Abstract : Non-aqueous metal-air (Li-O2 and Na-O2) batteries have been emerging as one of the most promising high-energy storage systems to meet the requirements for demanding applications due to their high theoretical specific energy. In the present thesis work, advanced characterization techniques are demonstrated for the exploration of metal-O2 batteries. READ MORE

  4. 2. Conducting Polymer Electrodes for Oxygen Reduction Reaction

    Author : Evangelia Mitraka; Xavier Crispin; Magnus Berggren; Magnus Jonsson; Mikhail Vagin; Björn Winther-Jensen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Both the pollution level of the environment and the increasing energy demands have stimulated intense research on the development of low-cost environmentally-friendly energy conversion and storage systems with high efficiency, such as metal-air batteries and fuel cells.One of the most essential parts of both fuel cells and metal–air batteries is the air-electrode which is responsible for the reduction of O2.

  5. 3. Lithium-ion Battery Safety - Assessment by Abuse Testing, Fluoride Gas Emissions and Fire Propagation

    Author : Carl Fredrik Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fire; thermal runaway; gas emission; gas explosion; propagation; safety; abuse testing; Lithium-ion; cell case explosion; hydrogen fluoride;

    Abstract : Lithium-ion batteries offer high energy and power densities as well as long life time but have a more narrow stability window compared to other battery types and contain reactive and flammable materials. In case of overheating the battery cell can release gas (vent) and, at temperatures of about 150-200 °C, a so called thermal runaway can occur, that is a rapid self-heated temperature increase which is typically accompanied with a large release of smoke and gas, fire and a potential cell case explosion or gas explosion.
