Carbon NanotubeEnhanced Growth of Silicon Nanowires as an Anode for HighPerformance LithiumIon Batteries

Advanced lithium-ion batteries with high energy density, highrate capability, and excellent cycling performance are critically important for automotive and stationary energy storage applications such as electric vehicles, portable electronics, power tools, and energy storage for many types of renewable energy sources.[1–3] From the materials point of view, silicon is one of the most promising c...

Electrochemical properties of iron oxide nanoparticles as an anode for Li-ion batteries

The synthesis of iron oxide nano-particles by direct thermal decomposition was studied. Simultaneous thermal analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results confirmed the formation of iron-urea complex, and disclosed iron oxide formation mechanism. Calcination of the iron-urea complex at 200°C and 250°C for 2 hrs. resulted in the formation of maghemite along with hematite as a seco...

Electroformation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles on Stainless Steel Electrodes

Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are well-established model systems for studying membrane structure and dynamics. Electroformation, also referred to as electroswelling, is one of the most prevalent methods for producing GUVs, as it enables modulation of the lipid hydration process to form relatively monodisperse, defect-free vesicles. Currently, however, it is expensive and time-consuming comp...

High Capacity MoO2/Graphite Oxide Composite Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Nanostructured MoO2/graphite oxide (GO) composites are synthesized by a simple solvothermal method. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses show that with the addition of GO and the increase in GO content in the precursor solutions, MoO3 rods change to MoO2 nanorods and then further to MoO2 nanoparticles, and the nanorods or nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the...
