A lithium-air battery and gas handling system demonstrator (2023)
Journal Article
Jordan, J. W., Vailaya, G., Holc, C., Jenkins, M., McNulty, R. C., Puscalau, C., …Johnson, L. R. (2024). A lithium-air battery and gas handling system demonstrator. Faraday Discussions, 248, 381-391. https://doi.org/10.1039/d3fd00137g

The lithium-air (Li-air) battery offers one of the highest practical specific energy densities of any battery system at >400 W h kgsystem−1. The practical cell is expected to operate in air, which is flowed into the positive porous electrode where it... Read More about A lithium-air battery and gas handling system demonstrator.

Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution over micro and mesoporous cobalt metal-organic frameworks (2022)
Journal Article
Iqbal, B., Laybourn, A., O'Shea, J. N., Argent, S. P., & Zaheer, M. (2022). Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution over micro and mesoporous cobalt metal-organic frameworks. Molecular Catalysis, 531, Article 112711. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mcat.2022.112711

The development of water electrolysis devices is crucial for the sustainable production of green hydrogen fuel. However, the slow kinetics and high overpotential are key shortfalls for hydrogen production during the half-cell hydrogen evolution react...
