We investigated the electrochemical properties of carbon-coated niobium dioxide (NbO2) as a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries. Carbon-coated NbO2 powders were synthesized by ball-milling using carbon nanotubes as the carbon source. The carbon-coated NbO2 samples were of smaller particle size compared to the pristine NbO2 samples. The carbon layers were coated non-uniformly on the NbO2 surface. The X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed that the inter-layer distances increased after carbon coating by ball-milling. This lead to decreased charge-transfer resistance, confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, allowing electrons and lithium-ions to quickly transfer between the active material and electrolyte. Electrochemical performance, including capacity and initial coulombic efficiency, was therefore improved by carbon coating by ball-milling.

This work demonstrates, for the first time, that a variety of disparate and technologically-relevent thermal, mechanical, and electrochemical oxygen-exchange material properties can all be obtained from in situ, current-collector-free wafer curvature measurements.

The polyaniline (PANI) powder with globular sponge-like morphology was prepared by chemical solution polymerization, and its morphology and chemical structure were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The single electrode of electrochemical capacitor was made using the prepared PANI powder as active material and carbon paper as current collector. Electrochemical properties of PANI as a single electrode in 1 M HCl and 1 M H2SO4electrolyte solution were tested by galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. It has been found that PANI has higher specific capacitance of 302.43 Fg−1, higher specific energy of 54.44 Wh·kg−1at 0.5 Ag−1, and higher working potential in 1 M HCl than those in 1 M H2SO4.
