Abstract
The Ceylon Journal of Science is published by the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. Full text available. The journal also has its own website. The Ceylon Journal of Science is a continuation of the Ceylon Journal of Science (Biological Sciences) which is no longer being published as a separate journal. The history of the journal can be found here.From May 2020, Ceylon Journal of Science is indexed in DOAJ.
Highlights
The booming introduction of numerous novel electrical equipment, involving all kinds of consumer electronics, electric tools, and electric vehicles, leads to a heavy demand for rechargeable portable energy sources
This study focused on studying the intercalation and deintercalation of Na+ ions into the domain of Graphite Intercalation Compound (GIC), fabricated from natural vein graphite, for the anode application of rechargeable Sodium-ion batteries (SIB)
This shows the potential of utilizing this GIC for anode applications in SIBs
Summary
The booming introduction of numerous novel electrical equipment, involving all kinds of consumer electronics, electric tools, and electric vehicles, leads to a heavy demand for rechargeable portable energy sources. Lithiumion batteries (LIB), characterized by high specific energy, high efficiency, and long life, have been the common power source of choice for the consumer electronics market with a production of the order of billions of units per year (Scrosati & Garche, 2010) This large-scale production of LIBs may be hampered by the limited lithium resource reserves (Hou et al, 2017; Li and Bjerrum, 2002; Wang et al, 2017). Na+ has a larger ionic radius (1.06 Å) than Li+ (0.76 Å), which has a direct impact on mass transport and storage in the electrochemical process It cannot be intercalated into graphite interlayers, as Li+ ions can in LIBs (Slater et al, 2013)
