Interactions between Functionalized Graphene and Electrochemically Active Materials in Advanced Energy Storage System
EMSL Project ID
47414
Abstract
The overall goal of this project is to understand the roles of functionalized graphene in energy storage systems spanning from Li-ion, Li-S to Li-air batteries. Specifically, the morphology of graphene itself along with the functional groups on graphene substrate will be systematically probed and correlated with the final electrochemical performances in different cells. Leveraged with the strong materials synthesis capabilities in PNNL, the proposed work will focus on 1) characterization of manipulated graphene morphology; 2) probe the defects/functional groups on graphene substrate; 3) understand the interactions between functionalized graphene with the reaction products aided by atomic simulations.
