In a recent Science paper, PNNL researchers show that by judiciously designing fluorenone derivatives, the reoxidation of the reduced fluorenol can be achieved reversibly in an aqueous redox flow battery. The combined experimental and computational...
Rechargeable sodium-ion batteries (NIB) are similar in function to the widely used lithium-ion batteries (LIB), however, NIBs are comparatively cheaper, safer and use the more abundant Na+ as charge carrier. Battery performance strongly depends on...
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in most portable chargeable electronics, such as laptops and cell phones, but also in electric vehicles. An essential part of LIBs is the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) which is...
Going to the Physics@Veldhoven meeting? Don’t miss the SCM table at the “sponsorplein” (Meijerij Foyer) or make a speed date appointment (Limburg Foyer) for Wednesday 22nd! Stan and Mirko would love to discuss how the Amsterdam...
Going to the 2019 MRS fall meeting 1-5 December 2019? Check out Matti’s talk on Machine Learning potentials for next generation materials modeling -his EU project MaLeR– on 3 December, 9.45am at Hynes 210. Thomas...
Going to the IDTechEx Show in Santa Clara, 20-21 November, to learn about the latest emerging technologies? Fedor would be delighted to discuss your challenges and see where the Amsterdam Modeling Suite could help you...
Come and talk to Nick about your chemical engineering challenges at the annual AIChE meeting mid-November in Orlando. At the SCM booth (#143) he’ll be happy to discuss how the COSMO-RS module in the Amsterdam...
Thomas gave an overview of the Amsterdam Modeling Suite for the Latin American theoretical chemistry community. With applications to organic electronics, batteries and polymers. Watch it back on youtube!
Organic polymers are promising electrode materials for lithium ion batteries due to their low solubility, low self-discharge rates, high mechanical strength, great flexibility, superior thermal stability, and versatility. A recent study virtually screens industrial polymers...
In two Nature Energy papers, ADF was used to help understand the experiments in an effort to make better Li-ion (non-flammable electrolytes, see paper) and redox flow batteries. The redox flow battery paper focused on...
