Abstract Scope |
We present methods for transforming ubiquitous polymer stereolithography 3D printed mesostructures into high performance electrodes for applications to energy storage and hydrogen production via electrocatalysis. Our additive manufacturing approach allows precision scalable fabrication of 3D electrodes with engineered mesoscale pore structures for optimally controlling microscale ion and mass transport. First, we show how we can use graph theory to design 3D printed lattices to achieve a combination of optimal electronic, mechanical, and electrochemical properties for boosting the performance of MXene-based supercapacitors. Finally, we present the application of 3D printed lattice electrodes for enhancing performance and stability of earth abundant catalysts based on transition metal oxides by engineering bubble evolution for efficiently performing the oxygen evolution and hydrogen evolution reaction. We expect that these advanced manufacturing methods for critically important energy materials can help to drive down the manufacturing and assembly cost of electrolyzer technologies for large scale hydrogen production. |
