Taking advantage of electrode thicknesses well beyond conventional dimensions allowed us to follow the surface plasmonic THz frequency phenomenon with vacuum wavelengths 100 μm 1 mm, only scrutinize them within millimeters-thicknesses insulators. Here, we analyze an Al/insulator/Cu cell in which metal electrodes-collectors were separated by a gap that was alternatively filled SiO2, MgO, Li2O, N...

Sodium-ion batteries are considered as prime alternatives to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale renewable energy storage units due to their low cost and the abundance of sodium bearing precursors in the earth's mineral deposits. In the current work, a 3D NASICON framework Na3V2(PO4)3/carbon cathode electrode with 20-30 nm Na3V2(PO4)3 nanoparticles uniformly encapsulated interconnecting one-d...

Amorphous materials (a-LAGP(x = 0.5)) with the composition of Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 were prepared by mechanochemical synthesis method. Crystalline compounds LiGe2(PO4)3-based NASICON-type structure formed heat treatment a-LAGP(x 0.5) at 400–700 °C in air. Solid electrolytes pelletized-type and MgO-modified 700 exhibited lithium ion conductivities on order 10−5–10−4 S cm−1 room temperature. The ...
