The Li[Li0.23Co0.3Mn0.47]O2 cathode material was prepared by a sol−gel method. Combinative X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman scattering studies showed that the solid solution rather than composite of nano Li2MnO3 LiCoO2. had high discharge capacity 250 mAh g−1 in voltage window 2.0−4.8 V. However, retention poor. different electrochemical mechanisms first charge subsequent cycles. Galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) study Li+ diffusion coefficients during were as small...

We present first-principles calculations of silicene/graphene and germanene/graphene bilayers. Various supercell models are constructed in the order to reduce strain lattice-mismatched bilayer systems. Our energetics analysis electronic structure results suggest that graphene can be used as a substrate synthesize monolayer silicene germanene. Multiple phases single crystalline germanene with different orientations relative could coexist at room temperature. The weak interaction between...
