Mitigating Structural Degradation in Hydrated V2O5 for Proton Batteries through Nanoconfinement with a Holey Graphene Matrix

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
HrGO‐supported and confined water‐assisted synergy for faster proton transport in the V2O5 resulted in ultra‐long life over 10 000 cycles at high current density of 1 A g−1. A reaction kinetics study of the ultra‐long cyclability via first principle DFT calculation is also presented. Proton‐based electrochemistry offers a promising solution to the cost

The Dimensional Revolution of Phosphorus: From Allotropicity to Battery System Applications

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Phosphorus‐based materials are promising high‐capacity anodes classified by dimension (0D–3D) to systematically explore their properties and composite strategies. When combined with materials such as carbon to form heterostructures, the electrical conductivity and stability are effectively enhanced.

Freezing Hydrogen in Nanoconfinement

Fusion Science and Technology, 2018
AbstractLiquid hydrogen confined in pores of nanofoams crystallizes at lower temperatures than in the unconfined, bulk state. Here, we summarize results of our recent systematic relaxation calorimetry studies of the liquid–solid phase transition of hydrogen and deuterium in various materials with open-cell pores.
