this review reports recent advances in metallic nanostructures based electrochemical sensors. interesting aspects of nps include size and shape-dependent interatomic bond distances, melting points, chemical reactivity, and optical and electronic properties. the small size of metallic nanostructures has allowed nanoscale electrochemical processes to be probed. electrochemical characteristics can...

Polymer-derived silicon carbonitride ceramic (SiCN) is used as an electrode material to prepare cylindrical sodium/sodium ion cells for solid-state NMR investigations. During galvanostatic cycling structural changes of the environment ions are investigated by applying 23Na in-situ NMR. Changes signals assigned sodium metal, intercalated cation and originating from electrolyte monitored well occ...

Pyrophosphate crystals have a wide array of applications in industrial and biomedical fields. However, fundamental understanding their electronic structure, optical, mechanical properties is still scattered incomplete. In the present research, we report comprehensive theoretical investigation 21 pyrophosphates A2M (H2P2O7)2•2H2O with either triclinic or orthorhombic crystal structure. The molec...

Polyether-based polymer electrolytes containing an M x [N(SO 2 CF 3 ) ] salt ( = 1 for Li and Na, 0.5 Mg Ca) were investigated their thermal stabilities ionic conductivities, owing to high electrochemical stability interfacial compatibility at electrodes as the electrolyte layer of all-solid-state batteries. The properties / Na metal electrode interface also explored. conductivity exhibited a s...

Understanding glass structure is still challenging due to the result of disorder, although novel materials design on the basis of atomistic structure has been strongly demanded. Here we report on the atomic structures of the zinc phosphate glass determined by reverse Monte Carlo modelling based on diffraction and spectroscopic data. The zinc-rich glass exhibits the network formed by ZnOx (avera...

By depositing metal precursors on fluorine-doped tin oxide substrates using evaporation and postselenisation modifying the number of stacked metallic precursor layers, this study systematically analysed effect cation changes absorber layer solar cell properties Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe). Furthermore, in study, an all-vacuum method was adopted to prepare a cadmium-free bifacial CZTSe conducted damp hea...
