Lithium ion battery applications of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanocomposites
Tyler Stephenson,Tyler Stephenson,Zhi Li,Zhi Li,Brian C. Olsen,Brian C. Olsen,David Mitlin,David Mitlin +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the microstructure and electrochemical performance relations of MoS2-based anodes and cathodes for secondary lithium ion batteries (LIBs) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesoporous nitrogen-rich carbons derived from protein for ultra-high capacity battery anodes and supercapacitors
Zhi Li,Zhi Li,Zhanwei Xu,Zhanwei Xu,Xuehai Tan,Xuehai Tan,Huanlei Wang,Huanlei Wang,Chris M. B. Holt,Chris M. B. Holt,Tyler Stephenson,Tyler Stephenson,Brian C. Olsen,Brian C. Olsen,David Mitlin,David Mitlin +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structure of mesoporous cellular foam with egg white-derived proteins was used to obtain hierarchically mesophorous (pores centered at ∼4 nm and at 20-30 nm) partially graphitized carbons with a surface area of 805.7 m2 g−1 and a bulk N content of 10.1 wt%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interconnected Carbon Nanosheets Derived from Hemp for Ultrafast Supercapacitors with High Energy
Huanlei Wang,Zhanwei Xu,Zhanwei Xu,Alireza Kohandehghan,Alireza Kohandehghan,Zhi Li,Zhi Li,Kai Cui,Xuehai Tan,Xuehai Tan,Tyler Stephenson,Tyler Stephenson,Cecil K. King’ondu,Cecil K. King’ondu,Chris M. B. Holt,Chris M. B. Holt,Brian C. Olsen,Brian C. Olsen,Jin Kwon Tak,Don Harfield,Anthony O. Anyia,David Mitlin,David Mitlin +22 more
TL;DR: These exquisite carbons were able to be achieved by simple hydrothermal carbonization combined with activation by taking advantage of the complex multilayered structure of a hemp bast fiber precursor, providing among the best power-energy characteristics ever reported for an electrochemical capacitor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Nanosheet Frameworks Derived from Peat Moss as High Performance Sodium Ion Battery Anodes
Jia Ding,Huanlei Wang,Huanlei Wang,Zhi Li,Zhi Li,Alireza Kohandehghan,Alireza Kohandehghan,Kai Cui,Zhanwei Xu,Zhanwei Xu,Beniamin Zahiri,Beniamin Zahiri,Xuehai Tan,Xuehai Tan,Elmira Memarzadeh Lotfabad,Elmira Memarzadeh Lotfabad,Brian C. Olsen,Brian C. Olsen,David Mitlin,David Mitlin +19 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that peat moss, a wild plant that covers 3% of the earth's surface, serves as an ideal precursor to create sodium ion battery anodes with some of the most attractive electrochemical properties ever reported for carbonaceous materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
