Electrolyte Materials and Physical Chemistry for Electrochemical Devices
Abstract
In this effort, we studied several series of electrolyte materials, including preparing several new conductors. While emphasizing the electrolyte behavior, we probed the physical chemistry and transport in several types of systems (polymer/concentrated electrolyte, organic proton conductors, composite electrodes). Our electrode work also continued some activity aimed at using electroactive mediators present in the electrolyte to explore the possibility of carrying out mediated oxidation of bio-derived materials to liberate hydrogen. This work results in a collection of data on the behavior of electrolytes of substantial scope, leading to the development of new understanding in an area of physical chemistry that was previously neglected.
