چکیده
Germanium (Ge) nanoparticle-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) anodes are fabricated through the anchoring of Ge on the surface of electrophoretically pre-deposited MWCNT networks via a thermal evaporation process. This Ge-MWCNT nanocomposite displays a large reversible capacity of over 800 mA h g(-1) at 1 C even after 200 cycles.

متن کاملFree-standing hierarchically sandwich-type tungsten disulfide nanotubes/graphene anode for lithium-ion batteries.
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), analogue of graphene, could form various dimensionalities. Similar to carbon, one-dimensional (1D) nanotube of TMD materials has wide application in hydrogen storage, Li-ion batteries, and supercapacitors due to their unique structure and properties. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of tungsten disulfide nanotubes (WS2-NTs)/graphene (GS) sandwich-type ...

In this study, tin/tinoxide/multiwalled carbon nanotube (Sn/SnO2/MWCNT) nanocomposites were produced as anode materials for Li-ion batteries by a two-step process. Metallic tin was evaporated onto free-standing MWCNT buckypapers having controlled porosity and subsequently rf plasma oxidized in Ar:O2 (1:1) gas mixture. Besides, Sn/SnO2 nanocomposites were produced in the same conditions onto sta...
