Environmental and energy gains from using molten magnesium-sodium-potassium chlorides for electro-metallisation of refractory metal oxides (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 The Authors. The molten eutectic mixture of magnesium, sodium and potassium chlorides (MgCl2-NaCl-KCl) has inappreciable solubility for oxide ions, and can help disengage a carbon anode from the oxide ions generated at a metal oxide cathode, a...

Correlation of energy storage performance of supercapacitor with iso-propanol improved wettability of aqueous electrolyte on activated carbon electrodes of various apparent densities (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. Addition of iso-propanol in the aqueous electrolyte of 1.0mol/L Na2SO4 was found to be most effective at about 8vol.% to minimise electrolyte surface tension, and hence maximise electrolyte wetting on a commercial supercapacitor...

Organoaqueous calcium chloride electrolytes for capacitive charge storage in carbon nanotubes at sub-zero-temperatures (2015)
Journal Article

© The Royal Society of Chemistry. Solutions of calcium chloride in mixed water and formamide are excellent electrolytes for capacitive charge storage in partially oxidised carbon nanotubes at unprecedented sub-zero-temperatures (e.g. 67% capacitance...

Electrochemical preparation of fine powders of nickel-boron alloys in molten chlorides for magnetic hydrogenation catalysts (2015)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2015. Fine powders of magnetic nickel-boron alloys were prepared for the first time by direct electrochemical reduction of the 2Ni3(BO3)2/B2O3, Ni3(BO3)2/NiO and Ni3(BO3)2/3NiO composite precursors in molten CaCl2-NaCl at 700°C. Precu... Read More about Electrochemical preparation of fine powders of nickel-boron alloys in molten chlorides for magnetic hydrogenation catalysts.
