• Balancing Urban Innovation with a Responsible Approach to the Internet of Things: The Case of Limerick 

  Fitzgerald, Helena; Walsh, Gerard; Avram, Gabriela; Kinsella, Stephen; Burón García, Javier (ThingsCon e.V., Berlin., 2019-12)

  Smart cities appear to be synonymous with pervasive IoT. Footfall, energy consumption, passengers availing of public transport, everything needs to be monitored, predicted and adjusted to fit pre-determined models. But ...
• +Limerick: Innovation and infrastructure in the positive energy city 

  Fitzgerald, Helena (RIAI, 2020)

  If you walk through Limerick’s Georgian streets and cast your eyes downward, you might notice a square object punctuating the surface of the path – a cast iron plate in a limestone frame, cut from a single block. When the ...
• Influence of carbonate-based additives on the electrochemical performance of Si NW anodes cycled in an ionic liquid electrolyte. 

  Stokes, Killian; Kennedy, Tadhg; Kim, Guk-Tae; Geaney, Hugh; Storan, Dylan; Laffir, Fathima R.; Appetecchi, Giovanni Battista; Passerini, Stefano; Ryan, Kevin M. (2020)

  Addition of electrolyte additives (ethylene or vinylene carbonate) is shown to dramatically improve the cycling stability and capacity retention (1600 mAh g-1) of Si nanowires (NWs) in a safe ionic liquid (IL) electrolyte ...
• Copper silicide nanowires as hosts for amorphous Si deposition as a route to produce high capacity lithium-ion battery anodes 

  Stokes, Killian; Geaney, Hugh; Sheehan, Martin; Borsa, Dana; Ryan, Kevin M. (American Chemical Society, 2019)

  Herein, copper silicide (Cu15Si4) nanowires (NWs) grown in high densities from a metallic Cu substrate are utilized as nanostructured hosts for amorphous silicon (aSi) deposition. The conductive Cu15Si4 NW scaffolds ...
• A copper silicide nanofoam current collector for directly grown Si nanowire network and their application as lithium-ion anodes 

  Aminu, Ibrahim Saana; Geaney, Hugh; Imtiaz, Sumair; Adegoke, Temilade Esther; Kapuria, Nilotpal; Collins, Gearoid A.; Ryan, Kevin M. (Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020)

  Silicon nanowires (Si NWs) have been identified as an excellent candidate material for the replacement of graphite in anodes, allowing for a significant boost in the capacity of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, ...
