Lithium/air batteries have the potential to substantially outperform the best battery system
nowadays on the market. Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode in an aprotic organic …

… Tran Dat Tran, PhD is a research chemist at the US Army Research Laboratory-Maryland
with over 15 years of experience in the synthesis and characterization of inorganic materials …

In this work, we describe hydrogels, aerogels and films of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC)
functionalized with metal nanoparticles using silver as an example. The TEMPO process used …

Pyrite FeS2 chemically combines lithium polysulphide (Li2Sn) to form active Li2FeS2+n
complexes that substantially reduce the out-diffusion of dissolved Li2Sn from sulphur cathodes …

A class of Pd–Ni–P electrocatalysts are prepared for the ethanol electrooxidation reaction (EOR).
X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope reveal that the synthesized Pd–…

Background: Heart failure is a costly health condition and a major public health concern. We
sought to examine the costs of hospital admissions for heart failure between fiscal years …

The ability to control the surface composition and morphology of alloy catalysts is critical for
achieving high activity and durability of catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and …

In this communication, we disclose a proof-of-concept lithium/sulfur liquid battery that has
exceptionally high capacity density. In such a battery, the cathode consists of a highly porous …

Desulfurized JP-8 fuel is of great interest for use as the hydrogen feedstock of fuel cells. The
refractory aromatic sulfur species present, however, are particularly challenging to remove …

Gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) and composite gel polymer electrolyte (CGPE) have been
widely employed to improve the safety and cycling performance of rechargeable lithium and …
