In a recent publication, the Energy Storage and Conversion Laboratory, led by Assistant Professor Seung Woo Lee,\u0026nbsp; 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.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/pubs.rsc.org\/en\/content\/articlelanding\/2017\/ee\/c6ee02641a#!divAbstract\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ERead the research article at this link.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The 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."}],"uid":"27863","created_gmt":"2016-12-08 20:11:57","changed_gmt":"2016-12-08 20:11:57","author":"Christa Ernst","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2016-12-08T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2016-12-08T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"213791","name":"3D Systems Packaging Research Center"},{"id":"198081","name":"Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC)"},{"id":"197261","name":"Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"172934","name":"Seung Woo Lee"},{"id":"113531","name":"polymerization"},{"id":"172935","name":"hybrid electrodes"},{"id":"44511","name":"energy storage"},{"id":"172936","name":"cathodes"},{"id":"5209","name":"carbon nanotubes"},{"id":"172838","name":"the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering"},{"id":"166968","name":"the Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"167357","name":"SEI"},{"id":"58041","name":"IEN"},{"id":"541","name":"Mechanical Engineering"},{"id":"8948","name":"lithium-ion"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":["christa.ernst@ien.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
