New insights into the photocatalytic activity of 3-D core–shell P25@silica nanocomposites : impact of mesoporous coating
(2017)
In this report, a three-dimensional (3-D) network of core–shell TiO2 (P25)–mesoporous SiO2 (P25@mSiO2) nanocomposites was prepared via a controllable surfactant-assisted sol–gel method. The nanocomposites were investigated ...
Unravelling the correlation between the aspect ratio of nanotubular structures and their electrochemical performance to achieve high-rate and long-life lithium-ion batteries
(2014)
The fundamental understanding of the relationship between the nanostructure of an electrode and its electrochemical performance is crucial for achieving high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, the ...
