Use of Nanomaterials in the Stabilization of Expansive Soils into a Road Real-Scale Application
(MDPI, 2020)
Stabilization is a traditional strategy used to improve soils with the main objective of ensuring that this base is compliant with the technical specifications required for the subsequent development of different ...
Biomass Porous Carbons Derived from Banana Peel Waste as Sustainable Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries
(MDPI, 2021)
Disordered carbons derived from banana peel waste (BPW) were successfully obtained by employing a simple one-step activation/carbonization method. Different instrumental techniques were used to characterize the structural, ...
Simple and Sustainable Preparation of Cathodes for Li−S Batteries: Regeneration of Granular Activated Carbon from the Odor Control System of a Wastewater Treatment Plant
(Wiley, 2021)
To obtain a wide variety of green materials, numerous investigations have been undertaken on industrial waste that can act as sustainable resources. The use of hazardous wastes derived from wastewater treatment plants ...
Lithium–Oxygen Battery Exploiting Highly Concentrated Glyme-Based Electrolytes
(American Chemical Society, 2020)
Concentrated solutions of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) and lithium nitrate (LiNO3) salts in either diethylene-glycol dimethyl-ether (DEGDME) or triethylene-glycol dimethyl-ether (TREGDME) are herein ...
Revisiting the HKUST-1/S Composite as an Electrode for Li-S Batteries: Inherent Problems That Hinder Its Performance
(Wiley, 2020)
A composite formed by the HKUST-1 metal-organic framework (MOF) and sulfur (S) was studied as an electrode for Li-S batteries. For preparation, a simple milling procedure in ethanol, to facilitate its homogeneity, was used ...
MIL-88A Metal-Organic Framework as a Stable Sulfur-Host Cathode for Long-Cycle Li-S Batteries
(MDPI, 2020)
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have received enormous interest as a promising energy storage system to compete against limited, non-renewable, energy sources due to their high energy density, sustainability, and low cost. ...
Pistachio Shell-Derived Carbon Activated with Phosphoric Acid: A More Efficient Procedure to Improve the Performance of Li–S Batteries
(MDPI, 2020)
A sustainable and low-cost lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery was produced by reusing abundant waste from biomass as a raw material. Pistachio shell was the by-product from the agri-food industry chosen to obtain activated ...
A Stable High-Capacity Lithium-Ion Battery Using a Biomass-Derived Sulfur-Carbon Cathode and Lithiated Silicon Anode
(Wiley, 2021)
A full lithium-ion-sulfur cell with a remarkable cycle life was achieved by combining an environmentally sustainable biomass-derived sulfur-carbon cathode and a pre-lithiated silicon oxide anode. X-ray diffraction, Raman ...
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Based on a Cathode of Copper Hexacyanoferrate
(IOP Publishing, 2021)
In this work, the performance of copper(II) hexacyanoferrate(III) (CuHCF) as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries was studied. The compound was synthesized by a precipitation reaction in aqueous solution in a closed ...
Simple and Sustainable Preparation of Nonactivated Porous Carbon from Brewing Waste for High-Performance Lithium–Sulfur Batteries
(Wiley, 2020)
The development of renewable energy sources requires the parallel development of sustainable energy storage systems because of its noncontinuous production. Even the most-used battery on the planet, the lithium-ion battery, ...
