Ion Adsorption on Planar Graphene Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitor Electrodes
All across our devices - phone to regenerative braking, electrical energy storage is becoming more important, particularly as part of the exploitation of renewable resources. Electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) are a high power energy storage device that operate by charge separation across the double layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Hence, we need to further our understanding of the structure of the electrolyte ions at the electrode surface to improve these devices. Graphene is one of a number of carbons used for EDLC electrodes. This proposal aims to investigate the interactions and ‘absorption’ of ions on graphene substrates utilising the unique capability of neutron reflection to study surface structures of organic molecules on carbon surfaces in-situ and resolve cations and anions using h-/d-contrast. The structures adopted with and without applied potential will be studied.
