Research progress and perspectives on ultra-low temperature organic batteries

Abstract

Traditional lithium ion batteries (LIBs) will lose most of their capacity and power at ultra-low temperatures (below -40 ° C), which to a large extent limits their applications in new...

Fast-Charging Carbon Fiber Structural Battery Electrodes Using an Organic Polymer Active Material

“…Taken together, with a decrease in temperature, the internal resistance as well as the charge transfer resistance of the electrode increases, the liquid electrolyte's viscosity increases, and its ionic conductivity decreases. 19,20,47,59,60 These factors together lead to a lower limit of operation at −20 °C for this configuration.…”

“…This is coherent with the prior organic battery reports. 19,47 Figure 4e shows the EIS spectra in a Nyquist plot recorded at different temperatures for the 50 wt% PTMA-GMA coated on CF // graphite full cells. The charge transfer resistance (R CT ) increased from 5 Ω at 20 °C to about 15 Ω at 10 °C, 32 Ω at 0 °C, and 198 Ω at −10 °C.…”

“…18 However, the low-temperature performance of structural batteries has not been investigated. [19][20][21][22] Carbon fibers (CFs) have been investigated as a potential material for structural energy storage systems because of their good electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical strength, and elastic moduli, as well as the ability to undergo a redox reaction with lithium ions at 0.3 V vs Li/Li + , thus making them a suitable candidate for the negative electrode. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] Also, CFs have been investigated as structural supercapacitive materials, 32,33 in which the device exhibited a high compressive modulus of about 39 GPa and devicelevel specific capacitance of 52 mF g −1 .…”

Structure–property–performance relationship of vanadium- and manganese-based metal–organic frameworks and their derivatives for energy storage and conversion applications

“…Recently, many works have been performed to develop energy storage and conversion technologies such as supercapacitors, batteries and water splitting. [1][2][3][4] To achieve high performance in these technologies, the designing of efficient electrode materials with high power and energy densities is urgent. 5,6 Different materials can be developed to realize such advanced applications in this regard.…”
