TY - THES A1 - Bauer, Christian T1 - Towards ecological and efficient electrochemical energy storage in supercapacitors and sodium ion batteries using onion-like carbon T1 - Ökologische und effiziente elektrochemische Energiespeicherung in Superkondensatoren und Natriumionen-Batterien mit Kohlenstoff-Nanozwiebeln N2 - In this thesis, the usage of onion-like carbon (OLC) for energy storage applications was researched regarding sustainability, performance and processability. This work targets to increase the scientific understanding regarding the role of OLC in electrodes and to facilitate a large-scale production, which is the foundation for commercial application. Research was devoted to increase the knowledge in the particular field, to yield synergistic approaches and a shared value regarding sustainability and performance. N2 - Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde die Verwendung von Onion-like Carbon (OLC) als Aktivmaterial zur Energiespeicherung untersucht. Die Arbeit zielte darauf ab, das wissenschaftliche Verständnis der Rolle von OLC im Kontext der elektrochemischen Energiespeicherung zu verbessern. Hierfür wurde an den Prozessschritten und Verfahren gearbeitet, um OLC-basierte Elektroden erfolgreich in Superkondensatoren und Pseudokondensatoren zu verwenden. Auch der Einsatz von OLC als Aktivmaterial für Natriumionenbatterien wurde erforscht, wobei sich das Material in dieser Anwendung als Aktivmaterial ungeeignet erwies. Die Bearbeitungen dieser Fragestellungen war darauf ausgerichtet, das Wissen in diesem Bereich zu erweitern, synergetische Ansätze für Problemlösungen zu finden und einen Mehrwert in Bezug auf Nachhaltigkeit, Performance und Prozessierbarkeit zu schaffen.

To evaluate the contribution of the NLRP3 inflammasome and its downstream effectors IL-1 and IL-18 in this process, we applied the true-to-life “American lifestyle-induced obesity syndrome” (ALiOS) diet mouse model. Development of obesity, fatty liver and liver damage was investigated in mice fed for 24 weeks according to the ALiOS protocol. Lipidomic changes in mouse livers were compared to human NAFLD samples. Receptor knockout mice for IL-1 and IL-18 were used to dissect the impact of downstream signals of inflammasome activity on the development of NAFLD. The ALiOS diet induced obesity and liver steatosis. The lipidomic changes closely mimicked changes in human NAFLD. A pro-inflammatory gene expression pattern in liver tissue and increased serum liver transaminases indicated early liver damage in the absence of histological evidence of NASH. Mechanistically, Il-18r\(^{−/−}\)- but not Il-1r\(^{−/−}\) mice were protected from early liver damage, possibly due to silencing of the pro-inflammatory gene expression pattern. Our study identified NLRP3 activation and IL-18R-dependent signaling as potential modulators of early liver damage in NAFLD, preceding development of histologic NASH.
