Energy Storage in Niobium(V) Oxide Nanostructures

Energy storage has been the biggest obstacle in the widespread adoption of renewable energy resources. The work presented in this thesis is aimed at developing and understand the behavior of Niobium Pentoxide (Nb2O5) electrochemical energy storage devices. Nb2O5 is a Li+ intercalation metal oxide that is of current interest for lithium ion battery electrodes.
