Energy Storage and Conversion Laboratory Research on Polymerization Shows Promise for Use in Rechargeable Batteries

Primary tabs

Self-polymerized dopamine is a versatile coating material that has various oxygen and nitrogen functional groups. In a recent publication, the Energy Storage and Conversion Laboratory, led by Assistant Professor Seung Woo Lee,  demonstrated the redox-active properties of self-polymerized dopamine on the surface of few-walled carbon nanotubes (FWNTs), which can be used as organic cathode materials for both Li- and Na-ion batteries. The hybrid electrodes produced by the team exhibited a high rate-performance and excellent cycling stability, suggesting that self-polymerized dopamine is a promising cathode material for organic rechargeable batteries.
