Biphenylene Nanotube: A Promising Anode Material for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

SnO2 Nanowires on Carbon Nanotube Film as a High Performance Anode Material for Flexible Li-ion Batteries

Today, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most common rechargeable batteries used in electronic devices. SnO2 with theoretical specific capacity of 782 mAh/g is among the best anode materials for LIBs. In this report, Three-dimensional SnO2 nanowires (NWs) on carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film (SnO2 / CNT) is fabricated using a combination of vacuum filtration and thermal evaporation techniques. The ...

SnSe alloy as a promising anode material for Na-ion batteries.

SnSe alloy is examined for the first time as an anode for Na-ion batteries, and shows excellent electrochemical performance including a high reversible capacity of 707 mA h g(-1) and stable cycle performance over 50 cycles. Upon sodiation, SnSe is changed into amorphous NaxSn nanodomains dispersed in crystalline Na2Se, and SnSe is reversibly restored after desodiation.

Surface‐Amorphous and Oxygen‐Deficient Li3VO4−δ as a Promising Anode Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Surface-amorphous and oxygen-deficient Li3VO4-δsynthesized by simple annealing of Li3VO4 powders in a vacuum shows great enhancements in both reversible capacity and coulombic efficiency for the first discharge/charge without delicate size control and carbon coating. The results are associated with the improved charge-transfer kinetics caused by the amorphous surface of Li3VO4-δ .

Bimetallic coordination polymer as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Bimetallic coordination polymers (BiCPs) with Zn and Co were synthesized and applied as anode materials. When the rate was increased to 2 A g(-1), a capacity of 622 mA h g(-1) after 500 cycles could still be maintained.
