Bengaluru: A team of IISc scientists developed a fully automated computational framework that can assess the energy storage capacity of thousands of 2D materials in a high-throughput fashion.
The scientists said research on environment-friendly energy storage devices, mainly lithium-ion batteries (LIB) and supercapacitors, gained tremendous momentum in recent times with the emergence of electric vehicles. They said there is greater desire now for lighter and smaller energy storage devices and electrode materials with high surface-to-mass ratio.
“Two-dimensional materials are an ideal fit for such requirements. However, the 2D material space is massive and despite recent efforts (both experimental and theoretical), only a small fraction of it has been explored. The limited choice has hindered promising applications of 2D materials in energy storage devices,” IISc said in a…
