Controllable construction of flower-like FeS/Fe2O3 composite for lithium storage

Controllable Synthesis of Flower-Like ZnO Nanostructure with Hydrothermal Method (RESEARCH NOTE)

Flower-like ZnO nanostructures were synthesized by decomposing Zn(OH)2 in 1,4- butanediol at 105 °C for 36 h. Size of flower-like ZnO nanostructure can be controlled by pH of the aqueous solution. In the preparation of flower-like ZnO nanostructure, zinc nitrate was used as a precursor. The morphology and microstructure of flower-like ZnO nanostructure have been characterized by scanning electr...

Superhydrophobic polysilsesquioxane/polystyrene microspheres with controllable morphology: from raspberry-like to flower-like structure

Superhydrophobic polysilsesquioxane/polystyrene microspheres with raspberry-like to flower-like structure were fabricated via a cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-assisted sol–gel approach. The structure of nanoparticles on microcores could be controlled precisely by simply adjusting the content of the silane precursor: with increasing amount of silane precursor, the microspheres transforme...

Microwave-assisted synthesis of flower-like structure ε-MnO2 as cathode for lithium ion batteries

Novel Flower-like Nickel Sulfide as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Non-aqueous Lithium-Air Batteries

In this paper, metal sulfide materials have been explored for the first time as a new choice of bifunctional cathode electrocatalyst materials for non-aqueous lithium-air batteries (LABs). Nickel sulfides with two different morphologies of flower-like (f-NiS) and rod-like (r-NiS) are successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method with and without the assistance of cetyltrimethyl ammonium ...

Hierarchical Li4Ti5O12/TiO2 composite tubes with regular structural imperfection for lithium ion storage

Hierarchical Li4Ti5O12/TiO2 tubes composed of ultrathin nanoflakes have been successfully fabricated via the calcination of the hydrothermal product of a porous amorphous TiO2 precursor and lithium hydroxide monohydrate. The hierarchical tubes are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy techniqu...
