Hollowing Out Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Corrosion is normally a problem, but it can be useful, for example, when you wish to create hollow metal nanoparticles, whereby the reduction of one species in solution drives dissolution core particle. Oh et al. (p. 964 ; see Perspective by Ibáñez and Cabot ) adapted this approach oxide nanoparticles placing Mn 3 O 4 nanocrystals with Fe 2+ ions, which replaces nanocrystal exterior γ-Fe 2 . At sufficiently high concentrations, nanocages formed. These...
Developing high‐energy‐density electrodes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) is of primary importance to meet the challenges in electronics and automobile industries near future.
