Coal-Derived Materials for Electrochemical Energy Storage

Le résumé fourni par la source

The demand for carbon-based energy storage materials is growing as renewable energy production and electrification expand worldwide. The types of carbon-based energy storage materials are as diverse as the systems in which they operate. The source of these materials is also of interest. Some carbon-based energy storage materials are naturally occurring (i.e., graphite) while others are synthesized from other carbon precursors (i.e., synthetic graphite, activated carbon, graphene, etc.). This presentation will focus on this group's efforts to synthesize, by electrochemical methods, nanoscale carbon materials from an abundant natural resource, coal. The electrochemical synthesis procedure and physical characterization of the nanoscale materials will be discussed. The nanoscale material's performance in energy storage systems will be presented and compared to other commercially available carbon-based energy storage materials.
