Excellent conductivity and tensile strength
Good compatibility and adhesion with active materials
Stable surface tension suitable for coating processes Applications: R&D, pilot testing, laboratory batteries; suitable for both winding and stacking cell structures. Typical Parameters (16 μm × 195 mm):
Areal density: 42 g/m²
Tensile strength: 220 MPa
Elongation: 2.2 %
Surface wetting tension: 30 N/m
Alloy grade: 1235-H16/H18
Purity: Al ≥ 99.8%
🔹 2. Double-Side Shiny Aluminum Foil
Description: Both sides are bright and flat, offering higher conductivity and corrosion resistance. Key Features:
Symmetric double-side structure with low roughness
Enhanced corrosion resistance and interfacial stability
High ductility and mechanical strength Applications: Industrial-grade cathode current collectors for lithium-ion batteries with high consistency requirements. Typical Parameters (16 μm × 196 mm):
Areal density: 42 g/m²
Tensile strength: 220 MPa
Elongation: 2.2 %
Surface wetting tension: 30 N/m
Alloy grade: 1235-H16/H18
🔹 3. Single-Side Carbon-Coated Aluminum Foil
Description: Conductive carbon coating is applied on one side to improve adhesion and electrical conductivity. Key Features:
Conductive carbon coating enhances adhesion with active material
The bipolar membrane (Fumasep FBM) in this paper was purchased from SCI Materials Hub, which was used in rechargeable Zn-CO2 battery tests. The authors reported a strain relaxation strategy to determine lattice strains in bimetal MNi alloys (M = Pd, Ag, and Au) and realized an outstanding CO2-to-CO Faradaic efficiency of 96.6% with outstanding activity and durability toward a Zn-CO2 battery.
In this paper, Vulcan XC-72R was purchased from SCI Materials Hub. Vulcan XC 72R carbon is the most common catalyst support used in the anode and cathode electrodes of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC), Alkaline Fuel Cells (AFC), Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC), Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cells (PAFC), and many more!
An AEM membrane (Sustainion X37-50 Grade RT, purchased from SCI Materials Hub) was activated in 1 M KOH for 24 h, washed with ultra-purity water prior to use.
In this paper (Supporting Information), an anion exchanged membrane (Fumasep FAB-PK-130 obtained from SCI Materials Hub (www.scimaterials.cn)) was used to separate the catholyte and anolyte chambers.
SCI Materials Hub: we also recommend our Fumasep FAB-PK-75 for the use in a flow cell.
Carbon paper (TGPH060), membrane solution (Nafion D520), and ionic membrane (Nafion N117) were obtained from Wuhu Eryi Material Technology Co., Ltd (a company under SCI Materials Hub).
Graphene oxide (GO) in this paper was obtained from SCI Materials Hub. The authors introduced a Janus Fe3C/N-CNF@RGO electrode consisting of 1D Fe3C decorated N-doped carbon nanofibers (Fe3C/N-CNFs) side and 2D reduced graphene oxide (RGO) side as the free-standing carrier of Li2S6 catholyte to improve the overall electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries.
In this paper, carbon cloth (W0S1011) was obtained from SCI Materials Hub. The flexible carbon cloth matrix guaranteed the stabilization of the electrode and improved the conductivity of the cathode.
The 20 wt% Pt3M (M = Cr, Co, Cu, Pd, Sn, and Ir) were purchased from SCI Materials Hub. This work places emphasis on the kinetics of the ORR concerning Pt3M (M = Cr, Co, Cu, Pd, Sn, and Ir) catalysts, and integrates theoretical prognostication and experimental validation to illuminate the fundamental principles of alloy engineering.
