Research project: Hector: Charge Storage with Metal Nitrides
Over recent years metal nitrides have been shown to exhibit a number of important properties for energy applications, including charge storage, electrocatalysis and as stable conducting supports. We have evaluated the aqueous supercapacitor and sodium/lithium battery performance of a number of nanocrystalline nitride materials derived from sol-gel and solvothermal chemistry. Much of this work has been carried out in collaboration with Prof John Owen.
