Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMB) employing inorganic solid electrolytes (ISE) in conjunction with lithium metal anode and intercalation cathode are considered among the most promising alternatives for Li-ion ...

Li-ion batteries has been a resounding success in the domain of portable applications such as electronic devices and are being increasingly explored in electric vehicles and grid storage. Conventional Li-ion batteries ...

In recent years, electrochemical capacitors have emerged as devices with the potential to enable major advances in electrical energy storage. Electrochemical capacitors (ECs) are akin to conventional capacitors but employ ...

Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have revolutionized the market of portable consumer electronics due to their high energy density (200 – 250 Wh Kg-1). However, most Li-ion chemistries employ expensive cobalt-based cathode active ...

Aqueous zinc-based batteries (AZBs) have emerged as promising next-generation energy storage systems due to the abundance of zinc, which expectedly should lower the battery cost. Additionally, Zn-based batteries will be ...

Molecular Magnets have intrigued researchers because they can enhance the data storage density, act as molecular switches and sensors, and have prospects in spintronics and quantum computing. They encompass various systems, ...

In this thesis, we investigate the entanglement and magnetic properties of frustrated spin systems and correlated electronic properties of conjugated carbon systems. In chapter 1, we present different approaches to solve ...

Ceria based materials have attracted a great deal of interest particularly in area of UV shielding, oxide ion conductivity, solid state electrolyte for fuel cells, automotive exhaust catalysis, water gas shift (WGS) reaction ...

Subsequent to the studies on precursor lead-acid systems by Daniel, Grove and Sindesten, practical lead-acid batteries began with the research and inventions of Raymond Gaston Planté in France as early as in 1859, and, ...

A fuel cell is an electrochemical power source with advantages of both the combustion engine and the battery. Like a combustion engine, a fuel cell will run as long as it is provided fuel; and like a battery, fuel cells ...
