SnO2 Nanowires on Carbon Nanotube Film as a High Performance Anode Material for Flexible Li-ion Batteries

Today, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most common rechargeable batteries used in electronic devices. SnO2 with theoretical specific capacity of 782 mAh/g is among the best anode materials for LIBs. In this report, Three-dimensional SnO2 nanowires (NWs) on carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film (SnO2 / CNT) is fabricated using a combination of vacuum filtration and thermal evaporation techniques. The ...

Hierarchically mesoporous CuO/carbon nanofiber coaxial shell-core nanowires for lithium ion batteries

Hierarchically mesoporous CuO/carbon nanofiber coaxial shell-core nanowires (CuO/CNF) as anodes for lithium ion batteries were prepared by coating the Cu2(NO3)(OH)3 on the surface of conductive and elastic CNF via electrophoretic deposition (EPD), followed by thermal treatment in air. The CuO shell stacked with nanoparticles grows radially toward the CNF core, which forms hierarchically mesopor...

Hydrothermal synthesis of TiO2(B) nanowires with ultrahigh surface area and their fast charging and discharging properties in Li-ion batteries.

We first report a facile hydrothermal route for preparing TiO(2)(B) nanowires with ultrahigh surface area, up to 210 m(2) g(-1). Due to the 1D structure, high BET surface area and shorter b-and c-axis channel across the nanowires, the obtained TiO(2)(B) nanowire was shown to be a good anode material for lithium-ion batteries, especially on the fast charging and discharging performance.

Phases Hybriding and Hierarchical Structuring of Mesoporous TiO2 Nanowire Bundles for High‐Rate and High‐Capacity Lithium Batteries

A hierarchical mesoporous TiO2 nanowire bundles (HM-TiO2-NB) superstructure with amorphous surface and straight nanochannels has been designed and synthesized through a templating method at a low temperature under acidic and wet conditions. The obtained HM-TiO2-NB superstructure demonstrates high reversible capacity, excellent cycling performance, and superior rate capability. Most importantly,...
