ETG Workplacement Student Won Gold CREST Award
October 31, 2013
Congratulations to Amy Chen who has won the Gold CREST Award from the British Science Association. The award was for Amy’s “excellent report” entitled “An Investigation of Molten Salt Electrolysis to Capture and Convert Carbon Dioxide into Carbon for use in Supercapacitors”. Amy has carried out the research in the ETG during her summer work placement.
New way of making the negative electrode for Li-ion batteries
Xianbo in Wuhan University has led an investigation of direct electrochemical reduction of mixed tin oxide (SnO2) and antimony oxide (Sb2O3) in sulfuric acid to a porous alloy of Sn/SnSb which exhibited very promising dis-/charging capacity when applied directly as the negative electrode in a laboratory lithium ion battery. The work will soon be published. Zhang …

ETG Logo
We have now a group logo, thanks to the help from an A-Level working experience student, Amy Chen. In the logo, the two curves are the cyclic voltammograms of two carbon nanotubes composites: one with a rodox active and non-conducting polymer (red) and the other with polyaniline. The acronym, ETG, stands for Electrochemical Technologies …
About the Electrochemical Technologies Group (ETG)
July 18, 2013
Since October 2003, the Electrochemical Technologies Group at Nottingham have seen more than 80 members with 8 academic visitors, 14 postdoctoral researchers, 20 PhD students and ca. 40 MSc/MEng students. The group has gained international reputation with over 100 invited lectures at conferences and special seminars around the world under the research theme of “Electrochemical …
