Effect of 2D MXene material on Electrochemical energy storage for Lithium-Ion Batteries and Supercapacitors

by admin

Supercapacitors with high energy-density, power, and long cycle-life have potential to outperform traditional batteries owing to their fast charging-discharging speed. This project aims to investigate a new class of two-dimensional materials, i.e. MXenes, as high-capacity pseudocapacitive material. Most of the current understanding of MXenes comes from titanium carbides whereas other materials are less-understood which will…

NUST Researcher used Magnetorheological Elastomers as Base Isolation to counter Earthquake Shaking for Bridges

by admin

Earthquake is the shaking and vibration at the surface of the earth resulting from the underground movement along a fault plane or from volcanic activity. To negate the effect of these earthquakes, structures resistant to such shakings and vibrations should be built using several techniques. Many techniques have been in use. “Base isolation” is a…
