Nanostructured, Alkaline Titanate‐Converted, and Heat‐Treated Ti6Al4V Microspheres via Wet‐Chemical Alkaline Modification and their ORR Electrocatalytic Response (2022)
Journal Article
Wadge, M. D., Bird, M. A., Sankowski, A., Constantin, H., Fay, M. W., Cooper, T. P., …Grant, D. M. (2023). Nanostructured, Alkaline Titanate‐Converted, and Heat‐Treated Ti6Al4V Microspheres via Wet‐Chemical Alkaline Modification and their ORR Electrocatalytic Response. Advanced Materials Interfaces, 10(5), Article 2201523. https://doi.org/10.1002/admi.202201523

This study describes the chemical conversion and heat treatment of Ti6Al4V microspheres (Ti6_MS), and the resulting effects on their electrocatalytic properties. The wet-chemical conversion (5.0m NaOH, 60°C, 24h; Sample label: Ti6_TC) converts the to...

Enflurane Additive for Sodium Negative Electrodes (2022)
Journal Article
Akkisetty, B., Dimogiannis, K., Searle, J., Rogers, D., Newton, G. N., & Johnson, L. R. (2022). Enflurane Additive for Sodium Negative Electrodes. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 14(32), 36551-36556. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.2c06502

Development of sodium anodes, both hard carbon (HC) and metallic, is dependent on the discovery of electrolyte formations and additives able to stabilize the interphase and support Na+ transport. Halogen salt additives are known to lower the energy b... Read More about Enflurane Additive for Sodium Negative Electrodes.

Competitive Oxygen Reduction Pathways to Superoxide and Peroxide during Sodium-Oxygen Battery Discharge (2022)
Journal Article
Jovanov, Z. P., Lutz, L., Lozano, J. G., Holc, C., Gao, X., Grimaud, A., …Bruce, P. G. (2022). Competitive Oxygen Reduction Pathways to Superoxide and Peroxide during Sodium-Oxygen Battery Discharge. Batteries & Supercaps, Article e202200055. https://doi.org/10.1002/batt.202200055

The sodium-air battery offers a sustainable, high-energy alternative to lithium-ion batteries. Discharge in the cell containing glyme-based electrolytes can lead to formation of large cubic NaO2 particles via a solution-precipitation mechanism. While...

Singlet oxygen and dioxygen bond cleavage in the aprotic lithium-oxygen battery (2022)
Journal Article
Dong, S., Yang, S., Chen, Y., Kuss, C., Cui, G., Johnson, L. R., …Bruce, P. G. (2022). Singlet oxygen and dioxygen bond cleavage in the aprotic lithium-oxygen battery. Joule, 6(1), 185-192. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2021.12.012

Investigation of lithium-oxygen cells on discharge using a mixture of 16O16O and 18O18O gases, showed that O–O bond cleavage occurs during disproportionation of LiO2 to O2 and Li2O2, detected by the presence of isotopic 16O18O. The formation of singl... Read More about Singlet oxygen and dioxygen bond cleavage in the aprotic lithium-oxygen battery.

Stabilization of Polyoxometalate Charge Carriers via Redox‐Driven Nanoconfinement in Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes (2022)
Journal Article
Jordan, J. W., Cameron, J. M., Lowe, G. A., Rance, G. A., Fung, K. L. Y., Johnson, L. R., …Newton, G. N. (2022). Stabilization of Polyoxometalate Charge Carriers via Redox‐Driven Nanoconfinement in Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 61(8), Article e202115619. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202115619

We describe the preparation of hybrid redox materials based on polyoxomolybdates encapsulated within single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Polyoxomolybdates readily oxidize SWNTs under ambient conditions in solution, and here we study their charge-...
