The performance of nanocomposite electrodes prepared by controlled ball-milling of TiS₂ and a Li₂S-P₂S₅ solid electrolyte (SE) for all-solid-state lithium batteries is investigated, focusing on the evolution of the microstructure. Compared to the manually mixed electrodes, the ball-milled electrodes exhibit abnormally increased first-charge capacities of 416 mA h g(-1) and 837 mA h g(-1) in the...

This article describes the solid-state chemistry of intercalation compounds that underpins a revolutionary new rechargeable lithium battery which has recently achieved phenomenal commercial success. The battery can store more than twice the energy compared with conventional alternatives of the same size and mass and holds the key to the future improvement of consumer electronic products (e.g. m...

Yarn-based supercapacitors having improved performance are needed for existing and emerging wearable applications. Here, we report weavable carbon nanotube yarn supercapacitors having high performance because of high loadings of rapidly accessible charge storage particles (above 90 wt% MnO2). The yarn electrodes are made by a biscrolling process that traps host MnO2 nanoparticles within the gal...

The proton concentration-distance profile developed at the interface of silver iodide-based solid-state electrodes in corroding cyanide solutions of low buffer capacity has been studied by scanning electrochemical microscopy using a potentiometric tip. The experimental results verified the theory developed earlier for the interpretation of the operation mechanism of “corrosion” type electrodes.

The research on ion-measuring devices has seen a rapid expansion in the last years as consequence of growing interest wearable sensors for biofluids analysis and portable remote or in-line water food quality monitoring. As result, an increasing number researchers is approaching field ion-selective sensors. Despite apparently simple transduction principle, theory behind their working mechanism f...
