Nickel based nanomaterials for renewable energy conversion and storage application

(2018) Nickel based nanomaterials for renewable energy conversion and storage application. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This research focuses on the synthesis and development of new functional nanomaterials with tailored morphology for high performance supercapacitors and hydrogen generation through electrolysis of water splitting in order to alleviate the energy crisis and environmental problems. A series of nickel based nanomaterials have been synthesized and their electrochemical properties were thoroughly studied. Ultrafine amorphous barium nickel phosphate nanofibers, and Ni-Co and NiCu layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheet arrays directly grown on carbon fibre clothes (CFC) demonstrated excellent performance for supercapacitors while NiCoFe LDH nanosheet arrays on CFC showed high catalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction for water splitting.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
