- Batteries and supercapacitors are the main technologies at the forefront of electrical energy-storage devices. Their storage and power-capability depend on the development of functional electrode materials with tuned structural parameters and surface characteristics. This work developed novel electrode materials that improve the electrochemical performance of batteries and supercapacitors by improving the accessibility of electrolyte to the internal surface area of electrodes. Collaboration with Wroclaw University of Science & Technology. Led to STFC-facilities access for “SANS to Monitor the Accessibility of Electrolytes into Aqueous Based Supercapacitor Electrodes”; (£100k, STFC ISIS Beamtime, RB1920450) for further study of these materials.
