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
High-density sodium and lithium ion battery anodes from banana peels
Elmira Memarzadeh Lotfabad,Jia Ding,Jia Ding,Kai Cui,Alireza Kohandehghan,Alireza Kohandehghan,W. Peter Kalisvaart,W. Peter Kalisvaart,Mike Hazelton,Mike Hazelton,David Mitlin,David Mitlin +11 more
TL;DR: A combination of XRD and XPS demonstrates highly reversible Na intercalation rather than metal underpotential deposition, and the same analysis proves the presence of metallic Li in the pores, withintercalation being much less pronounced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocrystalline anatase TiO2: a new anode material for rechargeable sodium ion batteries
Yang Xu,Elmira Memarzadeh Lotfabad,Huanlei Wang,Behdokht Farbod,Zhanwei Xu,Alireza Kohandehghan,David Mitlin +6 more
TL;DR: Anatase TiO2 nanocrystals were successfully employed as anodes for rechargeable Na-ion batteries for the first time and exhibited a highly stable reversible charge storage capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anodes for Sodium Ion Batteries Based on Tin–Germanium–Antimony Alloys
Behdokht Farbod,Behdokht Farbod,Kai Cui,W. Peter Kalisvaart,W. Peter Kalisvaart,Martin Kupsta,Beniamin Zahiri,Beniamin Zahiri,Alireza Kohandehghan,Alireza Kohandehghan,Elmira Memarzadeh Lotfabad,Elmira Memarzadeh Lotfabad,Zhi Li,Zhi Li,Erik J. Luber,Erik J. Luber,David Mitlin,David Mitlin +17 more
TL;DR: HRTEM shows that Sn50Ge25Sb25 is a composite of 10-15 nm Sn and Sn-alloyed Ge nanocrystallites that are densely dispersed within an amorphous matrix, which leads to hypothesize that this new phenomenon originates from the Ge(Sn) that is able to sodiate beyond the 1:1 Na:Ge ratio reported for the pure element.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of non-SEI related coulombic efficiency loss in carbons tested against Na and Li
Elmira Memarzadeh Lotfabad,Elmira Memarzadeh Lotfabad,Peter Kalisvaart,Peter Kalisvaart,Alireza Kohandehghan,Alireza Kohandehghan,Dimitre Karpuzov,David Mitlin,David Mitlin,David Mitlin +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the other sources of early coulombic efficiency (CE) loss by examining a pseudographitic carbon with a state-of-the-art capacity, but with a purposely designed low surface area (14.5 m2 g−1) that disqualifies SEI from having a substantial role.
