Batteries and Fuel Cells

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Performance testing at different current densities and cycle counts, including mechanistic and kinetic studies.

Main Results:

Triazine-based anodes achieved high specific capacity (up to 459 mA h g⁻¹ at 100 mA g⁻¹) with excellent Coulombic efficiency (~99%).
Demonstrated superior rate capability and cycling stability at high current densities (2000 mA g⁻¹ for 2000 cycles), reaching 445 mA h g⁻¹.
Outperformed commercial graphite anodes in high current and long-term operation.
