Extraordinarily high reversible capacity of lithium-ion battery anodes is realized from SnO(2)/α-MoO(3) core-shell nanobelts. The reversible capacity is much higher than traditional theoretical results. Such behavior is attributed to α-MoO(3) that makes extra Li(2)O reversibly convert to Li(+).

The aim of this research is to get a better understanding of the electrolytic refining process in order to yield the anode slime. Three types of secondary copper anodes are electro refined in an electrolytic system, where the electrolyte is an acid of copper sulphate solution. As a result of the electro-refining process the anode slime has been gained as secondary product. The experimental ...

Galvanic anodes are increasingly popular in the repair, rehabilitation, and maintenance of reinforced concrete structures suffering from chloride-induced corrosion for added durability benefits. There is a consensus among engineers that demand will increase due to ageing infrastructure stock, climate change, option reuse which logical solution help reduce carbon emissions. New manufacturers lik...

ZnO nanoarchitectured anodes composed of the ZnO nanocactus array and the top ZnO particle layer are chemically integrated on ITO-PET substrates using a facile room-temperature chemical bath deposition method for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In the absence of high-temperature post-treatment and mechanical compression, a notable efficiency of 5.24% is simply achieved in the flexible ZnO D...

OATAO is an open access repository that collects the work of Toulouse researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. Lowering the applied potential during successive scratching/re-inoculation improves the performance of microbial anodes for microbial fuel cells.

A strong premature electrical stimulus (S(2)) induces both virtual anodes and virtual cathodes. The effects of virtual electrodes on intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) transients and ventricular fibrillation thresholds (VFTs) are unclear. We studied 16 isolated, Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts with simultaneous voltage and [Ca(2+)](i) optical mapping and for vulnerable window d...

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.

In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is used to study the electrochemical lithiation of high-capacity crystalline Si nanoparticles for use in Li-ion battery anodes. The lithiation reaction slows down as it progresses into the particle interior, and analysis suggests that this behavior is due not to diffusion limitation but instead to the influence of mechanical stress on the driving f...

Anatase TiO2 nanocrystals were successfully employed as anodes for rechargeable Na-ion batteries for the first time. The mesoporous electrodes exhibited a highly stable reversible charge storage capacity of ~150 mA h g(-1) over 100 cycles, and were able to withstand high rate cycling, fully recovering this capacity after being cycled at rates as high as 2 A g(-1).
