چکیده
A simple and scalable process was developed for the synthesis of highly crystalline magnetite nanocrystals embedded in a carbon matrix using low cost starting materials; the resulting nanocomposite showed a very high specific capacity of 863 mA hg(-1) in the initial cycle and high capacity retention of 90% after 30 cycles.

متن کاملFacile synthesis of graphitic carbons decorated with SnO2 nanoparticles and their application as high capacity lithium-ion battery anodes
A facile and potentially scalable synthesis route to obtain SnO2-carbon composites was developed. SnO2 nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of two types of graphitic carbon: a) commercial porous graphite (HG) and b) graphitic carbon nanostructures (GCN). The synthesis procedure consists of two simple steps: i) room temperature formation/deposition of SnO2 nanocrystals and ii) thermal tre...

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...
