Although a few binary transition metal ferrites are found to be suitable for electrochemical energy storage application, ternary transition metal ferrites are not investigated for asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs). Mixed polycation oxides are expected to have increased active sites that can facilitate proton and electron transfer impacting the redox reactions. Specific crystal structure and associated lattice parameters as well as surface and morphological characteristics can also influence the energy storage properties. This study for the first time reports a novel complex polycation redox material, (Cu<sub>p</sub>Mn<sub>q</sub>Zn<sub>r</sub>)<sub>x</sub>Fe<sub>y</sub>O<sub>z</sub> and renewable pinewood (PW) derived porous carbon (POC) as electrodes for ASC. Both (Cu<sub>p</sub>Mn<sub>q</sub>Zn<sub>r</sub>)<sub>x</sub>Fe<sub>y</sub>O<sub>z</sub> and PW-POC are subjected to electrochemical characterization and used in ASC configuration with aqueous KOH electrolyte. It is anticipated that the Faradaic characteristics of (Cu<sub>p</sub>Mn<sub>q</sub>Zn<sub>r</sub>)<sub>x</sub>Fe<sub>y</sub>O<sub>z</sub> will make it to serve as a cathode while PW-POC with capacitive behavior will act as anode in ASCs. Relatively higher specific capacitance of > 200 F/g is observed for the (Cu<sub>p</sub>Mn<sub>q</sub>Zn<sub>r</sub>)<sub>x</sub>Fe<sub>y</sub>O<sub>z</sub> reference electrode and fabricated ASCs. Capacitance retention rate is tested in 10,000 cycles for the working electrodes whereas for ASC, the stability tests are performed over 100 charging-discharging cycles exhibiting relatively higher capacitance retention.

However, the operating point-dependent through-plane thermal conductivity has no significant effect on fast-charging for the analyzed pristine cylindrical lithium-ion cell. Furthermore, a temperature-dependent specific heat capacity definition considerably affects the thermal behavior of lithium-ion cells at extreme temperatures. While enabling a faster heating at low temperatures, a temperature-related current derating at high temperatures is delayed. Thus, a variable thermal parameter definition can lead to an increase in fast-charging capability of up to 3% due to the more precise modeling of the physical behavior of the cell.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100560,"journal":{"name":"Future Batteries","volume":"1 ","pages":"Article 100001"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950264024000017/pdfft?md5=9e9fc4915a5f835d6ccde23bd1e82ecd&pid=1-s2.0-S2950264024000017-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140351069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
