Understanding the Origin of the Ultrahigh Rate Performance of a SiO2-Modified LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 Cathode for Lithium-Ion Batteries
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is one of the most promising cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries for rapid charging–discharging applications. The surfaces of LNMO samples are coated with different amounts ...
Enhanced photocatalytic performance of WON@porous TiO2 nanofibers towards sunlight-assisted degradation of organic contaminants
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
In the last few decades, TiO2 has been widely used in different types of photocatalytic applications. However, the relatively large optical band gap (∼3.2 eV), low charge carrier mobility and consequently its low quantum ...
Synthesis, structural and lithium storage studies of graphene-LiVSi 2 O 6 composites
(
Institute for Ionics
, 2019 , Article)
Clinopyroxene LiVSi2O6 phase has been synthesised in this study by a single step solid state reaction in argon atmosphere at 900 °C, and its electrochemical properties have been investigated. Graphene composite of the ...
Three-component one-pot reaction for molecular engineering of novel cost-effective highly rigid quinoxaline-based photosensitizers for highly efficient DSSCs application: Remarkable photovoltage
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
A simple three-component one-pot approach was developed to generate three novel highly rigid quinoxaline-based dyes, which were further investigated as sensitizers of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The effect of ...
Impact of CNTs' treatment, length and weight fraction on ordinary concrete mechanical properties
This study investigates the effect of the treatment, length and weight fraction parameters of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on the mechanical properties of concrete. Mixes with various CNTs’ amounts ranging between ...
