Conductive supports could improve the electrical conductivity of electrode in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries but suffer from shuttle effect originated polysulfide dissolution, while hydrophilic metal oxides avoid with poor conductivity. Herein, a facile approach was developed to fabricate hierarchically porous tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticle-anchored tubular polypyrrole (T-PPy) as sulfur host, order integrate advantages conductive and overcome their shortcomings. In unique structure, T-PPy...
Well-defined core-shell structured coaxial sulfur/polypyrrole tubular nanocomposites, polypyrrole nanotubes wrapped by uniform rough sulfur layers, were fabricated as Li-S battery cathodes via a facile one-pot method. In the designed structure, backbone can facilitate charge transport and also restrain soluble polysulfide diffusion, while active layer efficiently react with Li+ assisted PPy nanotubes, lithium polysulfides be massively trapped during charge-discharge processes. The...
PPy-coated MnO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes were fabricated as a highly efficient sulfur host. Hollow interior of the and polypyrrole outer layer can effectively improve specific capacity maintain an extremely stable cycling performance.
Abstract As a renewable energy technology, microbial fuel cell (MFC) has been attracting increasing attention in recent decades. However, practical applications of MFCs hampered by the unsatisfactory electrode performance, particular, at cathode. Herein, Fe/N/S‐doped carbon hollow tubes were prepared facile two‐stage procedure involving hydrothermal treatment and pyrolysis controlled temperatures. Electrochemical studies showed that obtained samples exhibited an apparent electrocatalytic...
Polypyrrole (PPy) hollow micro/nanospheres have been widely designed to encapsulate active sulfur as cathodes in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries inhibit the polysulfide shuttle effect. Here, for first time, well-defined hierarchically porous double-shell polypyrrole@sulfur (h-PPy@S) microspheres were fabricated high-performance Li–S batteries, with sulfonated polystyrene (PSS) sacrificial templates. With an optimized outer shell, h-PPy@S cathode possessed superior electrochemical...
In this review, the application of five commercially available aqueous-based binders including sodium carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC), polyacrylic acid (PAA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene oxide (PEO), and polyethyleneimine (PEI) as well some representative custom (or purpose) synthesized functional used in lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries is summarized based on main evaluation criteria cycling capacity, battery lifetime, areal loading (and, consequently, energy density battery). CMC...
This work reports an encapsulated and flexible solid-state AIC screen printed on top of a polyester–cotton textile. The proposed zinc-ion capacitor (ZIC) arrays were fabricated polymer-coated textile with solution-based processes inexpensive electrodes electrolyte materials. battery achieved energy density 0.47 μWh·cm−2 (per device area) or 0.51 mWh·cm−2 active material in galvanostatic cycling test between 0.1 V 1.8 V.
