Nickel Foam for Battery Cathode Substrate

As the importance of lithium ion batteries increases, the different components are started to be used in them. One of the important materials that is in lithium ion batteries is current collectors. Current collectors are important because they have a role in electrochemical energy storage.
The important thing for a current collector is to keep their internal resistance low in order to improve the electrochemical properties of this kind of electrochemical energy storage systems. Also a good current collector must have high conductivity, chemical stability during electrolyte and the potential window and mechanical strength. According to the studies made in this field it has been proved that porous materials which can be used as current corrector give good results in lithium ion batteries.
One of the materials that can be used as current collector in lithium ion battery systems is nickel foam. Nickel Foam for Battery Cathode Substrate has low density and porous structure with typically 75–95% of the volume consisting of void spaces, which means that is a selectable material as current collector. Nickel foam can be used in many various functions in energy absorption and rechargeable battery applications. According to the studies where nickel foam used states that nickel foam is a good current collector in alkaline supercapacitors as long as we subtract the contribution from the nickel foam to get correct specific capacitances of the active material.
So we can say that nickel foam is a good material to be used as a current collector in lithium ion batteries with the properties of high conductivity and 3D interconnected structure.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Oxide Dispersion

Graphene oxide refers to a mono-atomic layer material obtained when graphite crystals are oxidized. This is one of the graphene materials that are commercially available because of  its ability to dissolve in water  which makes the oxidation process suitable. In this article, we will talk about the  synthesis, the properties and some of the applications of graphene oxide dispersion in water . Seven Properties of Graphene Oxide Dispersion The properties of a material are defined through its structure, however, this material is very peculiar, since there is no unambiguous model of this material. Graphene Oxide dispersion offers remarkable physical, chemical and mechanical properties that give the opportunity to new applications. Graphene Oxide is amorphous , but, in general, graphene oxide can be described as a two-dimensional sheet containing honeycomb carbon atoms with functional groups of hydroxide and oxygen, unlike the graphene model that seeks to completely re...
