In order to improve the performance of metal oxides as the supercapacitor electrodes, incorporating transition metal oxides and carbon materials homogeneously in one hybrid has become an effective method. For the purpose of getting NiO/carbon composites, Ni-MOFs were annealed at different temperatures (200 °C, 300 °C, and 400 °C) with a ramp rate of 1 °C min−1. As a result, NiO/graphite carbon nanocomposites...
LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCA) has become one of the research focuses due to its advantages including low cost and high reversible capacity. However, many drawbacks such as the dissolution of the cation into the electrolyte caused by hydrofluoric acid severely limited its electrochemical performance. In this study, Co3O4 derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is coated on the surface of commercial...
Conductive porous carbons generally are used as the additives to contact with active materials to generate conductive network for electrodes of commercial lithium ion batteries (LIBs). As a cathode material, LiFePO4 (LFP) has been widely used for LIBs. However, it needs higher quantity of conductive carbons to enhance its electrochemical performances due to the low ion diffusion coefficient and low...
Lead-acid battery (LAB) has been in widespread use for many years due to its mature technology, abound raw materials, low cost, high safety, and high efficiency of recycling. However, the irreversible sulfation in the negative electrode becomes one of the key issues for its further development and application. Lead-carbon battery (LCB) is evolved from LAB by adding different kinds of carbon materials...
The Li3V2(PO4)3/C (LVP/C) cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries were synthesized via ethylene glycol-assisted solvothermal method. The phase composition, phase transition temperature, morphology, and fined microstructure were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analyzer (DTA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively...
This study presents the application of NiO nanoparticles in electrochromic materials field. The monodisperse NiO nanoparticles ranged from 5 to 8 nm were synthesized by hot-injection method and the NiO films were prepared by dip-coating technique on ITO glass. The structure, electrochemical as well as optical performance was investigated systematically. NiO films composing of nanoparticles maintained...
We describe in this paper the synthesis and the characterization of Li4Ti5O12-reduced graphene oxide (LTO-RGO) composite and demonstrate their use as hybrid supercapacitor, which is consist of an LTO negative electrode and activate carbon (AC) positive electrode. The LTO-RGO composites were synthesized using a simple, one-step process, in which lithium sources and titanium sources were dissolved in...
The porous WO3/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite films are prepared on indium–tin oxide (ITO) glass by sol-gel method. The mixture sol combines peroxotungstic acid solution with rGO dispersion reduced by ethylene glycol (EG). The excessive EG and other organic additives are subsequently removed by annealing, which leads to the formation of porous structure. Compared with pure WO3 film, WO3/rGO...
A novel stereoscopic snowflake-like CoO material is synthesized via a simple two-step process, including the hydrothermal process for the formation of the stereoscopic snowflake-like Co(OH)F as precursor and thermal conversion process to CoO without altering the original shape of the precursor. The possible formation mechanism of the stereoscopic snowflake-like morphology of CoO was investigated...
Tungsten oxide (WO3) films were prepared on indium–tin oxide (ITO) glass by sol–gel method. The influence of annealing temperature on the structural, morphological, optical, electrochemical, and electrochromic properties has been investigated. The film annealed at 250 °C with an amorphous structure exhibits a noticeable electrochromic performance, such as the highest optical modulation of 58.5 % at...
The shape of cathode electrode affects severely the potential curves of charge/discharge process of lithium ion cells. In this paper, we take LiFePO4 for an example. The square model is presented to predict the concentration of lithium on the cathode electrode under some simplified conditions. With the square model as a tool, effects of shape and position are determined and analyzed. Meanwhile, the...
