Energy Storage
Plasma treatment plays a major role in the emergence of next-generation energy storage systems. From novel lithium-ion batteries and redox flow batteries (RFBs) to hydrogen fuel cells, numerous technologies require plasma treatment during development. Plasma treatment increases the wettability of battery separators so they can be coated with thermally-stable thin films. Using plasma treatment, carbon-based electrodes for RFBs can be functionalized to improve electrolyte uptake and increase battery performance.
