Wet-Chemical Processing of Phosphorus Composite Nanosheets for High-Rate and High-Capacity Lithium-Ion Batteries
(2016)
Phosphorus-based materials are promising for high-performance lithium-ion battery (LIB) applications due to their high theoretical specific capacity. Currently, the existing physical methods render great difficulty toward ...
One-step synthesis of Ni3S2 nanorod@Ni(OH)2 nanosheet core-shell nanostructures on a three-dimensional graphene network for high-performance supercapacitors
(2013)
A three-dimensional graphene network (3DGN) grown on nickel foam is an excellent template for the synthesis of graphene-based composite electrodes for use in supercapacitors. Ni(OH)2nanosheets coated onto single-crystal ...
High-coercivity FePt nanoparticle assemblies embedded in oxide-matrix by atomic layer deposition
(2013)
Self-assembled face-centered cubic FePt nanoparticles were embedded into the oxide capping layer using the atomic layer deposition technology. The effect of the oxide-matrix layer on the structure, mono-dispersibility, and ...
Vanadium pentoxide-based cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries : morphology control, carbon hybridization, and cation doping
(2014)
Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is a promising cathode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high specific capacity, low cost, and abundant source. However, the practical application of V2O5 ...
Recycling bacteria for the synthesis of LiMPO4 (M = Fe, Mn) nanostructures for high-power lithium batteries
(2014)
In this work, a novel waste-to-resource strategy to convert waste bacteria into a useful class of cathode materials, lithium metal phosphate (LiMPO4; M = Fe, Mn), is presented. Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria used for ...
Fabrication of flexible thermoelectric thin film devices by inkjet printing

Ink-jet printing of thermoelectric nanomaterials is successfully used to fabricate flexible thin film TE devices for power generation and cooling.
n-type carbon nanotubes/silver telluride nanohybrid buckypaper with a high-thermoelectric figure of merit
(2014)
N-type thermoelectric materials was made from CNT buckypapers. We used Ag2Te to achieve electron injection to the CNTs. The thermoelectric characterizations on more than 50 samples show that the CNTs/Ag2Te hybrids exhibit ...
Platinum and palladium nanotubes based on genetically engineered elastin-mimetic fusion protein-fiber templates : synthesis and application in lithium-O2 batteries
(2014)
The coupling of proteins with self-assembly properties and proteins that are capable of recognizing and mineralizing specific inorganic species is a promising strategy for the synthesis of nanoscale materials with controllable ...
Preparation of novel 3D graphene networks for supercapacitor applications
(2011)
Chemical vapor deposition is used to prepare novel 3D graphene networks, with ethanol as the carbon source. These networks are used as templates for the construction of graphene/metal oxide composite-based supercapacitor ...
A facile, relative green, and inexpensive synthetic approach toward large-scale production of SnS2 nanoplates for high-performance lithium-ion batteries
(2013)
A facile, environmentally friendly, and economical synthetic route for production of large-amounts (gram scale) of two-dimensional (2D) layered SnS2 nanoplates is presented. The electrode fabricated from the SnS2 nanoplate ...
