Abstract

Enhancement in electrochemical energy storage resides in tailored nanotextures resulting from making electrode materials with controlled compositions and structures. The complex interplay of solvent and solute structures and dynamics at the charged interface, transport of ions into and out of the pores, solvation/desolvation processes occurring in pores approaching bare-ion dimensions, and formation of interfaces via chemical reactions are all important parameters. Herein, several synthesis methods for both inorganic and polymer electrodes tailored for energy storage will be discussed. The objective of this talk is to demonstrate that nanostructured polymers and oxides derived from our synthesis strategies not only entail a high storage capacity but also, most importantly, can be made to have significantly enhanced electronic & ionic conductivities. These enhanced transport properties in electrode architectures are the key to providing high-rate capabilities for the corresponding energy storage systems.
