This Engage grant will initiate a collaboration between Elcora Advanced Materials (Halifax, Nova Scotia) and**Dr. Heather Andreas (Chemistry, Dalhousie University) with a focus on translating Elcora's high-quality**graphene into an electrode material for supercapacitors (identified by Elcora as a new and important potential**application for their materials). Supercapacitors are energy storage systems used when an almost instantaneous**power response is needed (e.g. deployment of air-bags or airplane emergency chutes). To understand and**evaluate Elcora's graphene in supercapacitors requires knowledge of the graphene's structure, porosity,**reactivity and chemistry, and Dr. Andreas is an expert in relating carbon's physical and chemical properties to**supercapacitor performance.**The Andreas lab will evaluate Elcora's graphene as a supercapacitor electrode material and provide Elcora**with a deeper understanding of their material and its performance. They will also identify the origin of any**limitations (structural and/or chemical) and then help design and test graphene modifications to minimize these**limitations. Graphene modifications will likely extend into future collaborations and collaborative research**grants. Using Elcora's high-quality graphene will allow Andreas to expand the fundamental knowledge of the**links between carbon characteristics and energy storage; manuscripts will be submitted to appropriate scientific**journals.**The project will help Elcora Advanced Materials to better understand and commercialize their graphene**materials for supercapacitors. This will be achieved through evaluations of all important parameters for**supercapacitor use. Dr. Andreas' research will be boosted by having access to high-quality, very-controlled and**well-understood graphene to gain a fundamental understanding of how charge is stored on, and moves through,**these materials.

该Engage赠款将启动Elcora Advanced Materials（哈利法克斯，新斯科舍省）和 ** 石楠Andreas博士（化学，达尔豪西University）之间的合作，重点是将Elcora的高质量 ** 石墨烯转化为超级电容器的电极材料（Elcora确定为其材料的新的重要潜在 ** 应用）。超级电容器是一种能量存储系统，用于需要几乎瞬时的 ** 功率响应（例如安全气囊或飞机紧急降落伞的部署）。要了解和 ** 评估Elcora的石墨烯在超级电容器中的应用，需要了解石墨烯的结构、孔隙率、** 反应性和化学性质，Andreas博士是将碳的物理和化学性质与 ** 超级电容器性能联系起来的专家。Andreas实验室将评估Elcora的石墨烯作为超级电容器电极材料，并为Elcora** 提供对其材料及其性能的更深入了解。他们还将确定任何 ** 限制（结构和/或化学）的起源，然后帮助设计和测试石墨烯改性，以最大限度地减少这些 ** 限制。石墨烯修饰可能会扩展到未来的合作和合作研究 ** 赠款。使用Elcora的高质量石墨烯将使Andreas能够扩展碳特性和能量存储之间的联系的基础知识;手稿将提交给适当的科学期刊。该项目将帮助Elcora Advanced Materials更好地了解和商业化其用于超级电容器的石墨烯材料。这将通过评估 ** 超级电容器使用的所有重要参数来实现。Andreas博士的研究将通过获得高质量，非常受控和 ** 良好理解的石墨烯来推动，以从根本上了解电荷如何存储在这些材料上并通过这些材料移动。
