AI makes scientific jokes

Even AI can make you laugh when you ask it on the topic of hard carbons. We share our results from Copilot :)

Sharing STABLEBAT progress results

For over a decade, I have been participating in the Scientific - Technical Conferences on Carbon Materials and Polymer Composites, which is co-oganized by Polish Carbon Society. This year we had an opportunity to present our results from the STABLEBAT project. The presentation was given by our PhD student - Denis Kopiec, and the title was TIN IMPREGNATED HARD CARBONS AS ANODE MATERIALS IN SODIUM ION BATTERIES.

About the project

A resonable solution to the problems associated with current energy storage systems may be the new generation of sodium-ion batteries (NIBs), which has been intensively researched in recent years because of their unique advantages over traditional lithium-ion systems. NIBs use manufacturing technology similar to that used for Li-ion batteries, but the availability of sodium is much greater than that of lithium, which translates into lower production costs.
The aim of the STABLEBAT project is to develop and to synthesize carbon-tin composites based on two types of materials: composites using hard carbons and graphene aerogels as the active material of the NIBs anode. The combination of carbon and tin material results in stabilization of Sn nanoparticles in the electrode material, which will translate into improved electrochemical properties of the anode and increased stability during long-term operation. We hope that the results obtained within the STABLEBAT project may contribute to further insight into the processes that take place in the anode material and the conscious design of carbon-tin composites for stable and efficient sodium-ion batteries.

This project is funded by the National Science Center, Poland, under the grant agreement 2021/43/D/ST5/01584, SONATA 17.
