Funded Activity Summary

Novel Boron Carbon Nitride (BCN) Nanosheets for Future Electrochemical Energy Storage. This project will develop new two-dimensional nanomaterials of boron carbon nitride (BCN nanosheets) with excellent electrochemical properties for energy storage application. New chemical approaches will be used to produce BCN nanosheets with a few layered structure, controlled chemical composition, high porosity and large surface area leading to a high electrical conductivity and enhanced electrochemical performances. The BCN nanosheets will be used as the anode in lithium ion batteries and expected to improve capacity, rate capability and cycling stability. The expected outcomes include a new class of light and safe electrode materials, new production techniques and high-performance batteries.
