CuxO-TiO2 (x = 1, 2) nanomaterials are synthesized on polycrystalline Ti substrates by a convenient chemical vapor deposition (CVD) approach, based the initial growth of CuxO matrix (at 400 and 550 °C for x 1 2, respectively) subsequent overdispersion TiO2 at °C. All CVD processes carried out in an oxygen atmosphere saturated with water vapor. The obtained systems investigated means glancing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), secondary ion mass...
X-ray diffraction and tomography are performed on intermetallic particles undergoing lithiation in a porous electrode. Differences between ensemble phase evolution that at single-particle level explored. It is found all evidence core-shell lithiation; however, with internal porosity more mechanically robust exhibit less fracture.
Herein, we report for the first time use of TiSb2 alloy as anode material sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) and capacitors (NICs).

The development of renewable energy sources requires the parallel sustainable storage systems because its noncontinuous production. Even most-used battery on planet, lithium-ion battery, is reaching technological limit. In light this, lithium-sulfur batteries have emerged as one most promising technologies to address this problem. use biomass produce cathodes for these addresses not only aforementioned problem, but it also reduces carbon footprint and gives added value something normally...
Carbon fibers obtained by pyrolysis of tailored resorcinol/formaldehyde polymer particles were used to anchor Si nanoparticles at their surface. The carbonization process, carried out 1000 °C under nitrogen, induced strong interactions between and the carbon matrix through a thick amorphous silicon oxide layer as revealed X-ray diffraction (XRD) photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Therefore, actual composition composites was Si/SiOx/C (fibers). Component contents determined from...
Crystalline TiSb2 and NbSb2 prepared by the ceramic route were examined as negative electrodes for lithium-ion batteries.
