[ 1 ] - 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 ...

[ 2 ] - Micrometric Growth of V2O5Hexagonal Nano-plates as an Active Material for Lithium Ion Battery Cathode Electrode

This manuscript reports the synthesis of V2O5 nanostructures using reflux method, without using additives such as surface reactants. The influence of reaction parameters like temperature and concentration on the growth of nanostructures have been investigated. It has been observed that the nanostructures are formed with a hexagonal nano-plate morphology, grown from a common core. The diameter o...

[ 4 ] - Improving the performance of Lithium-Sulfur Batteries using Sulfur-(TiO2/SiO2) yolk–shell Nanostructure

Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries are considered as one of the promising candidates for next-generation Li batteries in near future. Although, these batteries are suffering from certain drawbacks such as rapid capacity fading during the charge and discharge process due to the dissolution of polysulfides. In this paper, Sulfur/metal oxide (TiO2 and SiO2) yolk–shell structures have been successfull...
