Investigation of ion transport and electrochemical performance of fluorinated and lithiated gel polymer electrolytes for lithium ion batteries by Shubha Nageswaran

“…The main problem with the PSSLi based gels is lower ionic conductivity, due to the reduced number of mobile charge carriers. This thesis mainly focusses on addressing the two most common issues affecting gel polymer electrolytes-improving the electrochemical properties while maintaining the mechanical integrity and improving the lithium ion transference number without affecting the ionic conductivity. …”

Synergistic-potential engineering enables high-efficiency graphene photodetectors for near- to mid-infrared light by Jiang, Hao, Fu, Jintao, Wei, Jingxuan, Li, Shaojuan, Nie, Changbin, Sun, Feiying, Wu, Steve Qing Yang, Liu, Mingxiu, Dong, Zhaogang, Wei, Xingzhan, Gao, Weibo, Qiu, Cheng-Wei

“…The 2D potential well constructed by dielectric structures can spatially (laterally and vertically) produce a strong trapping force on the photogenerated carriers in graphene and inhibit their recombination, thereby improving the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and photogain of the device with wavelength-immunity, which enable a high responsivity of 0.2 A/W-38 A/W across a broad infrared detection band from 1.55 to 11 µm. …”

The physics of ultrafast saturable absorption in graphene by Xing, Guichuan, Guo, Hencheng, Zhang, Xinhai, Sum, Tze Chien, Huan, Alfred Cheng Hon

“…This phenomenon is well-modeled with valence band depletion, conduction band filling and ultrafast intraband carrier thermalization. The latter is dominated by intraband carrier-carrier scattering with a scattering time of 8 ( ± 3) fs, which is far beyond the time resolution of other ultrafast techniques with hundred fs laser pulses. …”
