• Additive manufacturing for energy storage: Methods, designs and material selection for customizable 3D printed batteries and supercapacitors 

  Gulzar, Umair; Glynn, Colm; O'Dwyer, Colm (Elsevier, 2020-02-24)

  Additive manufacturing and 3D printing in particular have the potential to revolutionize existing fabrication processes, where objects with complex structures and shapes can be built with multifunctional material systems. ...
• Quantifying the effect of electronic conductivity on the rate-performance of nanocomposite battery electrodes 

  Tian, Ruiyuan; Alcala, Nolito; O'Neill, Steven; Horvath, Dominik; Coelho, João; Griffin, Aideen; Zhang, Yan; Nicolosi, Valeria; O'Dwyer, Colm; Coleman, Jonathan (ACS Publications, 2020-01-30)

  While it is well-known that the electronic conductivity of electrodes has a critical impact on rate performance in batteries, this relationship has been quantified only by computer simulations. Here we investigate the ...
• Architected porous metals in electrochemical energy storage 

  Egorov, Vladimir; O'Dwyer, Colm (Elsevier, 2020-02-21)

  Porous metallic structures are regularly used in electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices as supports, current collectors, or active electrode materials. Bulk metal porosification, dealloying, welding, or chemical ...
• Self-assembly of porphyrin nanostructures at the interface between two immiscible liquids 

  Molina-Osorio, Andrés F.; Cheung, David L.; O'Dwyer, Colm; Stewart, Andrew A.; Dossot, Manuel; Herzog, Grégoire; Scanlon, Micheál D. (American Chemical Society, 2020-03-06)

  One of the many evolved functions of photosynthetic organisms is to synthesize light harvesting nanostructures from photoactive molecules such as porphyrins. Engineering synthetic analogues with optimized molecular order ...
• Metal-organic frameworks as kinetic modulators for branched selectivity in hydroformylation. 

  Bauer, Gerald; Ongari, Daniele; Tiana, Davide; Gäumann, Patrick; Rohrbach, Thomas; Pareras, Gerard; Tarik, Mohamed; Smit, Berend; Ranocchiari, Marco (Springer Nature, 2020-02-26)

  Finding heterogeneous catalysts that are superior to homogeneous ones for selective catalytic transformations is a major challenge in catalysis. Here, we show how micropores in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) push homogeneous ...
