Atomic-layer-deposition alumina induced carbon on porous Ni(x)Co(1-x)O nanonets for enhanced pseudocapacitive and Li-ion storage performance.
A unique composite nanonet of metal oxide@carbon interconnected sheets is obtained by atomic layer deposition (ALD)-assisted fabrication. In this nanonet structure, mesoporous metal oxide nanosheets are covered by a layer of amorphous carbon nanoflakes. Specifically, quasi-vertical aligned and mesoporous Ni(x)Co(1-x)O nanosheets are first fabricated directly on nickel foam substrates by a hydro...
متن کاملHigh-performance Supercapacitors Based on Electrochemical-induced Vertical-aligned Carbon Nanotubes and Polyaniline Nanocomposite Electrodes
Supercapacitors, which store electrical energy through reversible ion on the surface of conductive electrodes have gained enormous attention for variously portable energy storage devices. Since the capacitive performance is mainly determined by the structural and electrochemical properties of electrodes, the electrodes become more crucial to higher performance. However, due to the disordered mi...
متن کاملA Novel In Vitro System for Comparative Analyses of Bone Cells and Bacteria under Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation is a promising approach to enhance bone regeneration while having potential to inhibit bacterial growth. To investigate effects of alternating electric field stimulation on both human osteoblasts and bacteria, a novel in vitro system was designed. Electric field distribution was simulated numerically and proved by experimental validation. Cells were stimulated on Ti6Al4V ...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Pure Electroconvection and Combined Electro-thermo-convection in Horizontal Channels
Electrohydrodynamic effect on natural convection in horizontal channels is investigated from a numerical point of view. The EHD effect is induced by narrow strip electrodes placed at the bottom wall of the channel. The channel is subjected in a first stage only to the electric forces, and in a second stage to the simultaneous action of a temperature gradient and an electric field. The interacti...
متن کاملOrigin of electric field enhancement in field emission from amorphous carbon thin films
The observation of electron emission from amorphous carbon thin films at low applied electric fields is explained in terms of an enhancement of the field brought about by dielectric inhomogeneities within the film. These inhomogeneities originate from the differences between conductive, spatially localized sp C clusters surrounded by a more insulating sp matrix. By a more complete understanding...
