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.

Hydroperoxide-Mediated Degradation of Acetonitrile in the Lithium–Air Battery (2023)
Journal Article
McNulty, R. C., Jones, K. D., Holc, C., Jordan, J. W., Bruce, P. G., Walsh, D. A., …Johnson, L. R. (2023). Hydroperoxide-Mediated Degradation of Acetonitrile in the Lithium–Air Battery. Advanced Energy Materials, 13(3), Article 2300579. https://doi.org/10.1002/aenm.202300579

Understanding and eliminating degradation of the electrolyte solution is arguably the major challenge in the development of high energy density lithium–air batteries. The use of acetonitrile provides cycle stability comparable to current state-of-the... Read More about Hydroperoxide-Mediated Degradation of Acetonitrile in the Lithium–Air Battery.

Voltammetric Evidence of Proton Transport through the Sidewalls of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (2023)
Journal Article
Jordan, J. W., Mortiboy, B., Khlobystov, A. N., Johnson, L. R., Newton, G. N., & Walsh, D. A. (2023). Voltammetric Evidence of Proton Transport through the Sidewalls of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 145(16), 9052–9058. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.3c00554

Understanding ion transport in solid materials is crucial in the design of electrochemical devices. Of particular interest in recent years is the study of ion transport across 2-dimensional, atomically thin crystals. In this contribution, we describe...
