The combination of rhenium with i.e. nickel, cobalt, zinc, bismuth and other proposed in this project metals may be perspective and have synergistic effect on the electrode performance. Non-ferrous metals play a big role in energy storage materials and are responsible for a significant increase in specific capacitance of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors.
Rhenium compounds obtained in this project will be thoroughly examined using potentiostatic and galvanostatic techniques. Based on the electrochemical evaluation the most electrochemically active compounds will be selected and used as components in hybrid-type electrode preparation.
