    摘要: Scalable pseudocapacitive cathode materials are provided that can be effectively paired with pseudocapacitive anode materials and used to produce fast charging, long cycle lifetime lithium ion batteries. A sol-gel templating method which forms materials with dissolution resistant surfaces that can avoid capacity loss due to dissolution in high surface area nanostructured LiMn2O4 powders, is also provided. The materials have a long needle-like morphology with dominant surface sites and demonstrate higher capacity and less dissolution than similarly sized materials synthesized with a different structure.

    摘要: A solid state hydrogen storage system and materials are provided. Hydrogen storage is provided by the formation of metal hydrides in a nanoporous metal framework. H2 can be effectively released from the hydride that is made directly during the synthesis processes at just 100° C. Dealloying using galvanic corrosion in a metal ion electrolyte and in a hydrogen containing atmosphere is used to create monolithic nanoporous metal frameworks and the simultaneous formation of metal hydrides within the porosity. The nanoporous frameworks have a tunable plasmon resonance and morphology. The system can reversibly store hydrogen in the nanoporous framework using hot electrons generated either by surface plasmons or by exothermic galvanic replacement reactions to form metal hydrides.
