Explaining energy storage with electron tomography

KAUST ·

KAUST researchers used electron tomography and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to study charge storage in manganese oxide electrodes for supercapacitors. They found that the electrolyte etches nanoscale openings in the manganese oxide sheets, increasing electrolyte permeability and energy density during cycling. 3D tomography revealed how the electrode's morphological evolution increases its surface area, enhancing energy densities. Why it matters: The research provides insights into improving the cycling stability of pseudocapacitive materials, which are crucial for developing high-performance supercapacitors.
