... peak power demands in electrical grid storage [21,24,27]. Consisting of a porous separator sandwiched between two identical electrodes and immersed in a liquid electrolyte, supercapacitors predominantly store charge by fast electrostatic adsorption of electrolyte ions onto the surface of the oppositely charged electrodes, as illustrated in Fig. 1. The main benefit of storing charge on the electrode surface in this way is that it leads to high power densities, being principally limited only by the mobility of the ions across the separator and through the porous electrode. However, surface only energy storage leads to relatively low energy densities, which has motivated the ...

The biomedical, textile, aerospace, manufacturing, cosmetics, oil, defense, agricultural, and electronics industries can all benefit from the use of nanotechnology to enhance a wide range of material properties, including physical, chemical, and biological properties. However, nanotechnology-based products or nanomaterials (e.g., nanofibers, nanowires, nanocomposites, and nanofilms) may be harmful to human health. Since nanomaterials are usually manufactured using novel manufacturing techniques and have a variety of sizes, shapes, and surface energies, there can also be uncertainties in their manufacture and handling. This chapter provides a detailed account of ethical issues related to nanotechnology, particularly environmental toxicity, risk management, health risk evolution, and environmental significance of nanomaterials.

Cerium (III) hydroxide, Ce(OH)3 thin films were synthesized by the simple successive ionic layer adsorption reaction (SILAR) method at room temperature. Their physicochemical properties were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The electrochemical properties of Ce(OH)3 electrodes for supercapacitors were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge discharge (GCD) analysis in aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes. The surface morphological studies from SEM depicted that the sponge-like morphology transformed to thread-like structure after potential cycling. The sharp peaks in the FTIR spectrum determined the existence of Ce–O stretching mode. The maximum specific capacitance of electrode material is 78 Fg⁻¹ and power density is 13.33 KW Kg⁻¹ in non-aqueous electrolyte. The calculated b value (< 0.5) from cyclic voltammetry indicated the capacitance arrived because of the diffusion control process.

In the last two decades, the notion of multifunctional composites has sparked a
lot of studies. Creating fully multifunctional components that can carry out
structural and non-structural functioning in composites will be a huge step
forward. The emergence of ‘‘textile structural power composites’’ has resulted
from creating rigid, robust, and lightweight continuous fibre structural composites and energy storage capabilities. The capacity to deliver various functionalities resulted in a reduction in the volume/mass of the overall system and
enabled them to be used in a variety of sectors, including portable electronic
devices, electric automobiles, aeronautical vehicles, drones, and civil constructions, etc. This paper highlights recent developments in textile-reinforced
structural power composites, their structure, mechanical properties, and an
energy-storing mechanism. This review emphasizes developments in constituting materials for structural supercapacitor composites, electrodes, separators,
and solid polymer electrolytes, methods to characterize, fabricate, and evaluate
textile structural supercapacitor composite’s multifunctional performance, its
potential applications and existing challenges. Prospects in terms of new
structural design are also reported. The textile structural supercapacitor composites are anticipated to play a revolutionary role in various technical engineering applications in the future.

Among the transition metal dichalcogenides, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a graphene analogue, is the most sought after 2D material for energy storage devices. Electrical conductivity of the thermodynamically stable, semiconducting 2H MoS2phase can be further enhanced by the incorporation of conducting polymers. Herein, we synthesize the MoS2-PANI nanocomposite with increased crystallinity through an interfacial polymerization route where the growth of HCl doped polyaniline fibers through the MoS2sheets developed an intrinsic strong πback-donation between the Mo and the N of the polyaniline fibers. This characteristic πbond has enhanced the conductivity as well as the intrinsic pseudocapacitance by an additional redox electron exchange occurring at the Mo centers. The optimized 1 wt % MoS2decorated PANI nanosheets showed a high capacitance of 657.5 F/g at 1.5 A/g, and the corresponding symmetric and asymmetric supercapacitor cells delivered a capacitance of 424 F/g and 335 F/g at 0.5 A/g, respectively. The potential window was increased to 1.5 V in the asymmetric configuration, leading to an enhanced energy density of 104.9 Wh/kg and a power density of 937.9 W/kg. The work highlights the beneficial effects of incorporating MoS2in polyaniline for improved capacitance and provides a feasible approach to modulate the electrochemical performance of PANI-based materials for energy storage.
... At the laboratory scale, through-thickness graded electrodes have been fabricated in a layer-by-layer fashion which allows for controlled through-thickness, local variations in the fraction of the same materials.

Graded electrodes for Li-ion batteries aim to exploit controlled variations in local electrode microstructure to improve overall battery performance, including reduced degradation rates and increased capacity at high discharge rates. However, the mechanisms by which grading might deliver performance benefit, and under what conditions, are not yet fully understood. A Li-ion battery electrochemical model (a modified Doyle-Fuller-Newman type model capable of generating impedance functions) is developed in which local microstructural changes are captured in order to understand why and when graded electrodes can offer performance benefits. Model predictions are evaluated against experimental electrochemical impedance data obtained from electrodes with micro-scale, controlled variations in microstructure. A region locally enriched with carbon at the electrode/current collector interface is shown to significantly reduce the overpotential distribution across the thickness of a LiFePO$_4$-based Li-ion battery cathode, resulting in a lower charge transfer resistance and impedance. The insights gained from the LiFePO$_4$-based electrodes are generalised to wider design principles for both uniform and graded Li-ion battery electrodes.
