Coexistence of both edge plane and basal in graphite often hinders the understanding lithium ion diffusion mechanism. In this report, two types graphene samples were prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD): (i) well-defined grown on Cu foil (ii) plane-enriched layers Ni film. Electrochemical performance electrode can be split into regimes depending number layers: corrosion-dominant regime lithiation-dominant regime. Li perpendicular to is facilitated defects, whereas parallel limited...
The concept of a hybrid nanostructured collector made thin vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) decorated with Si nanoparticles provides high power density anodes in lithium-ion batteries. An impressive rate capability is achieved due to the efficient electronic conduction CNTs combined well defined electroactive nanoparticles: capacities 3000 mAh g−1 at 1.3C and 800 15C are achieved.
Iron is a widely used catalyst for the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or nanofibers (CNFs) by catalytic chemical vapor deposition. However, both Fe and Fe–C compounds (generally, Fe3C) have been found to catalyze CNTs/CNFs, comparison study their respective activities still missing. Furthermore, control crystal structure iron-based catalysts, that α-Fe Fe3C, challenge, which not only obscures our understanding mechanisms but also complicates subsequent procedures, such as removal...
Growth on transition metal substrates is becoming a method of choice to prepare large-area graphene foils. In the case nickel, where carbon has significant solubility, such growth process includes at least two elementary steps: (1) dissolution into metal, and (2) precipitation surface. Here, we dissolve calibrated amounts in nickel films, using ion implantation, annealing 725 \circ or 900 \circ. We then use transmission electron microscopy analyse detail: latter appears imply diffusion over...
The synthesis of few-layered graphene is performed by ion implantation carbon species in thin nickel films, followed high temperature annealing and quenching. Although enables a precise control the content uniformity in-plane concentration Ni films before annealing, we observe thickness non-uniformities synthesized layers after annealing. These are probably induced heterogeneous distribution/topography nucleation sites on surface. Taken altogether, our results indicate that number top...

We evidence strong dependence the device transduction mechanism surrounding atmosphere, which can be attributed bolometric effect interference water molecule desorption upon irradiation.
Membrane-based synthesis, also called template is a very general approach used to prepare arrays of nanomaterials with monodispersed geometrical features. The most commonly porous templates are track-etched polycarbonate and anodic alumina membranes. Common all these the fact that pores perpendicular surface membrane.

This paper explores the field emission (FE) properties of highly crystalline Si nanowires (NWs) with controlled surface passivation. The NWs were batch-grown by vapor-liquid-solid process using Au catalysts no intentional doping. FE current-voltage characteristics showed quasi-ideal current saturation that resembles those predicted basic theory for from semiconductors, even at room temperature. In region, currents extremely sensitive to temperature and also increased linearly voltage drop...

Silicon-based anode fabrication with nanoscale structuration improves the energy density and life cycle of Li-ion batteries. As-synthesized silicon (Si) nanowires (NWs) or nanoparticles (NPs) directly on current collector represent a credible alternative to conventional graphite anodes. However, operating potentials these electrodes are below electrochemical stability window all electrolytes used in commercial systems. During first charging phase cell, partial decomposition electrolyte takes...
Lithium-sulfur technology garners significant interest due to sulfur's higher specific capacity, cost-effectiveness, and environmentally friendly aspects. However, insulating nature poor cycle life hinder practical application. To address this, a simple modification the traditional sulfur electrode configuration is implemented, aiming achieve high long life, rapid charge rates.
