The electrochemical discharge performance of the Mg–Al–Pb–Ce–Y alloy in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution is investigated by using techniques and compared with that pure magnesium, AZ31, Mg–Al–Pb alloys.
Rechargeable lithium metal anodes (LMAs) with long cycling life have been regarded as the "Holy Grail" for high-energy-density secondary batteries. The skeleton plays an important role in determining performance of LMAs. Commercially available copper foam (CF) is not normally a suitable stable storage owing to its relatively inappropriate large pore size and low specific surface area. Herein, first time, we revisit CF address these issues by rationally designing highly porous (HPC)...
Constructing the magnesium alloy with fine grains, low density of dislocations, and weak crystal orientation is crucial importance to enhance its comprehensive performance as anode for Mg-air battery. However, this unique microstructure can hardly be achieved conventional plastic deformation such rolling or extrusion. Herein, we tailor Mg-Al-Sn-RE by using friction stir processing, which obviously refines grains without increasing dislocation strengthening orientation. The battery processed...
Highly efficient and low-cost nonprecious metal electrocatalysts that favor a four-electron pathway for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are essential high-performance metal-air batteries. Herein, we show an ultrasonication-assisted synthesis method to prepare Mn3O4 quantum dots (QDs, ca. 2 nm) anchored on nitrogen-doped partially exfoliated multiwall carbon nanotubes (Mn3O4 QDs/N-p-MCNTs) as ORR catalyst. The QDs/N-p-MCNTs facilitated exhibited sufficient catalytic activity with onset...
This work presents a desirable bifunctional catalyst—Co3O4 nanoparticles anchored on nitrogen-doped partially exfoliated multiwall carbon nanotubes (Co3O4/N-p-MCNTs)—for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and evolution (OER) for the rechargeable flexible solid-state Zn–air battery. The Co3O4/N-p-MCNTs demonstrates good catalytic performance with ORR half-wave potential of 0.760 V (vs RHE). Additionally, exhibits superior limiting current density higher stability than Pt/C in alkaline solutions....
The Li-O2 battery has attracted substantial attention due to its high theoretical energy density. In particular, high-efficiency oxygen catalysts are very important for the design of practical batteries. Herein, we have synthesized heterogeneous crystalline-coated partially crystalline bimetallic organic coordination polymers (PC@C-BMOCPs), which further pyrolyzed obtain Co- and Fe-based nanoparticles embedded within rodlike N-doped carbon (Co/Fe@NC) as a bifunctional reduction...
