There is a renewed interest in NiMH batteries with improved energy densities that could approach those of Li-ion batteries. Efforts to improve the energy density concentrates on alternative anode as well as cathode materials. For anode, AB2 and Mg based alloys are candidates with potentials that go beyond the capacity achieved with rare-earth based AB5 compounds. In a recent study [1] we have shown an AB2 alloy which is sluggish in its activation could readily be activated when it was surface modified with hot-alkaline treatment. The treatment resulting in fine porous surface rich in Ni not only activates the alloy but it also increases the discharge capacity by a significant amount. This was attributed to positive effect of porous surface where hydrogen evolution was made difficult by the associated stabilizing effect. For Mg based alloys, we have investigated A2B7 alloy where the amount of Mg is quite low and an amorphous Mg50Ni50 alloy. Here rather than modifying the powders, the electrode itself was modified by nafion coating. The electrodes were tested both in bare and coated form with a notable difference in discharge capacity. Nafion coating increased maximum attainable discharge capacity in both alloys up to 150%. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements showed that the charge transfer resistance increases with coating. The role of nafion coating in developing Mg based negative electrode materials is discussed. [1] Tan S., Shen Y., Sahin E.

Modeling of reaction and degradation mechanisms in lithium-sulfur batteries Erişen, Nisa; Külah, Görkem; Department of Chemical Engineering (2019) Lithium-sulfur batteries are promising alternatives for the energy storage systems beyond Li-ion batteries due to their high theoretical specific energy (2567 Wh/kg) in addition to the natural abundancy, non-toxicity and low cost of sulfur. The reaction and degradation mechanisms in a Li-S battery include various electrochemical and precipitation/dissolution reactions of sulfur and polysulfides; however, the exact mechanism is still unclear. In this study, the effect of critical cathode design parameters su...
Optimization of nickel, cobalt and lithium recovery processes from spent li-ion batteries Tekmanlı, Fırat; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-12-28) Since lithium-ion batteries are standard in electric vehicles and electrical devices and have the potential to be used widely in the future, it is essential to recycle end-of-life batteries. Waste lithium-ion batteries are harmful to the environment and human health and should be recycled also due to their critical metals. Lithium-ion batteries can be classified according to their cathode chemistry. In this thesis, the recycling of lithium-ion batteries with NMC-type (Nickel- Manganese-Cobalt) cathode chemi...
Hierarchical multi-component nanofiber separators for lithium polysulfide capture in lithium-sulfur batteries: an experimental and molecular modeling study Zhu, Jiadeng; Yıldırım, Erol; Aly, Karim; Shen, Jialong; Chen, Chen; Lu, Yao; Jiang, Mengjin; Kim, David; Tonelli, Alan E.; Pasquinelli, Melissa A.; Bradford, Philip D.; Zhang, Xiangwu (2016-01-01) Sulfur (S) has been considered as a promising cathode candidate for lithium batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacity and energy density. However, the low active material utilization, severe capacity fading, and short lifespan of the resultant lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have greatly hindered their practicality. In this work, a multi-functional polyacrylonitrile/silica nanofiber membrane with an integral ultralight and thin multi-walled carbon nanotube sheet is presented and it provides a ...
Electrochemical performance and modeling of lithium-sulfur batteries with varying carbon to sulfur ratios Michaelis, Charles; Erisen, Nisa; PALA, DAMLA EROĞLU; Koenig, Gary M. (Wiley, 2019-02-01) Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted much research interest because of their high theoretical energy density and low-cost raw materials. While the electrodes are composed of readily available materials, the processes that occur within the cell are complex, and the electrochemical performance of these batteries is very sensitive to a number of cell processing parameters. Herein, a simple electrochemical model will be used to predict, with quantitative agreement, the electrochemical properties of lithium-s...
Design and implementation of low power interface electronics for vibration-based electromagnetic energy harvesters Rahimi, Arian; Külah, Haluk; Muhtaroğlu, Ali; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) For many years batteries have been used as the main power sources for portable electronic devices. However, the rate of scaling in integrated circuits and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) has been much higher than that of the batteries technology. Therefore, a need to replace these temporary energy reservoirs with small sized continuously charged energy supply units has emerged. These units, named as energy harvesters, use several types of ambient energy sources such as heat, light, and vibration to ...
