Model Studies on Solid Electrolyte Interphase Formation on Graphite Electrodes in Ethylene Carbonate and Dimethyl Carbonate II: Graphite Powder Electrodes

A Comparative Study of Lead Oxide Modified Graphite Paste Electrodes and Solid Graphite Electrodes with Mechanically Immobilized Lead Oxides

The cyclic voltammetry of red PbO, -PbO2, -PbO2 and BaPbO3 was studied with two different types of electrodes in acidic and alkaline media. In one case, microcrystalline particles of lead oxides were mechanically immobilized on the surface of paraffin-impregnated graphite rod electrodes (PIGE), while in the other case, lead oxides were added to a paste of graphite and silicone oil. The overall ...

The Role of Carbonate Solvents on Lithium Intercalation into Graphite

Reduced graphite oxide in supercapacitor electrodes.

The current energy needs have put the focus on highly efficient energy storage systems such as supercapacitors. At present, much attention focuses on graphene-like materials as promising supercapacitor electrodes. Here we show that reduced graphite oxide offers a very interesting potential. Materials obtained by oxidation of natural graphite and subsequent sonication and reduction by hydrazine ...

Comment on electrochemical kinetics at ordered graphite electrodes.

A carbon electrodes have been used in electrochemistry for more than a century, there has been renewed recent interest in electron transfer at carbon surfaces due to the development of graphene and carbon nanotube (CNT) materials. This Comment regards reports of heterogeneous electron transfer (ET) rates on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), which is often used as a model for single crys...

Multiprobe Study of the Solid Electrolyte Interphase on Silicon-Based Electrodes in Full-Cell Configuration

The failure mechanism of silicon-based electrodes has been studied only in a half-cell configuration so far. Here, a combination of 7Li, 19F MAS NMR, XPS, TOF-SIMS, and STEM-EELS, provides an in-depth characterization of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation on the surface of silicon and its evolution upon aging and cycling with LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 as the positive electrode in a full...
