| Description |
The development of hybrid and full electric vehicles raises the demand for electrical energy generation and storage devices. Well-defined porous architecture that allow Li-ions to be stored and reversibly inserted/extracted, predetermines MOF and COF materials to be explored as electrode as well as electrolyte materials for Li-batteries (LiBs). The aim of this PhD project is to develop a novel class of these framework materials modified by metallacarborane compounds and find a suitable polymer matrix allowing to reach optimal flexibility and ionic conductivity in absence of solvent molecules. The project work includes preparation of the composite materials and their detailed physicochemical and structural characterization. |
