Synthesis and Electrochemical Performance of Electrostatic Self-Assembled Nano-Silicon@N-Doped Reduced Graphene Oxide/Carbon Nanofibers Composite as Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Facile synthesis and electrochemical performances of hollow graphene spheres as anode material for lithium-ion batteries

UNLABELLED The hollow graphene oxide spheres have been successfully fabricated from graphene oxide nanosheets utilizing a water-in-oil emulsion technique, which were prepared from natural flake graphite by oxidation and ultrasonic treatment. The hollow graphene oxide spheres were reduced to hollow graphene spheres at 500°C for 3 h under an atmosphere of Ar(95%)/H2(5%). The first reversible spec...

Synthesis of Hard Carbon- Silicon Nanocomposite as Anode Active Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries

In this research, using phenolic resin as the precursor of carbon and various amounts of ethylene glycol as a pore former, porous samples of hard carbon were synthesized. Samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and N2 adsorption-desorption methods. Broad diffraction peaks represent the amorphous structure of samples. Moreover, the gas adsorption-desorption curves showed that the a...

Synthesis of uniform TiO2@carbon composite nanofibers as anode for lithium ion batteries with enhanced electrochemical performance

Composite of K-doped (NH4)2V3O8/graphene as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries.

A layer structured K-doped (NH4)2V3O8/graphene (K-NVG) was prepared via a hydrothermal route and then used as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries for the first time. The K-NVG nanosheets have a diameter in the range of 200-500 nm. The K-NVG electrode exhibited stable cycling and a good rate performance with a reversible capacity of 235.4 mA h g(-1), which is much higher than the 90.5 mA ...

Initial Discharge Capacity of Manganese Cobaltite as Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries

Nanostructured manganese cobalt oxide spinel (MnCo2O4) are prepared by co-precipitation method and calcined at 650 and 750°C. Morphological studies show that by increasing the calcination temperature from 650 to 750°C, morphology of the particles changes from quasi-plate to polyhedral. The MnCo2O4 calcined at 650°C could deliver an initial discharge capacity of 1438 mAh g-1 under current densit...
