Flower-like C@V2O5 microspheres with high specific capacity were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. The microstructure, specific capacity and electrochemical properties of C@V2O5 microspheres were studied. Results showed that the C@V2O5 microspheres with a diameter of ∼3 m are covered over by V2O5 nanosheets, and therefore have a large surface area which is almost 5 times higher than that of pure V2O5 powders. Moreover, the initial specific capacity of C@V2O5 microsphere is as high as 247.42 mAh · g–1, and after 100 cycles, the capacity retention rate is still 99.4%. Compared with pure V2O5, flower-like C@V2O5 microspheres show higher discharge specific capacity, better rate performance and more stable cycling performance.

One Pot

ZnO has attracted considerable attention as electrode material in lithium-ion battery (LIB) due to its theoretically high capacity. However, poor electronic conductivity and huge volumetric changes during cycling limit its industrial applications. In this work, polypyrrole nanorings (PNRs) were successfully prepared via the solution chemistry method using pyrrole (Py) as raw material, ammonium persulfate (APS) as oxidant, and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant. The ZnO/PNR composite was synthesized with zinc oxide nanoparticles absorbed on the surface of PPy nanorings through the one-pot in situ sol-gel method. The composite shows a three-dimensional intertwined network structure where the size of polypyrrole nanorings ranges from 80 nm to 100 nm in diameter and the average size of uniformly distributed ZnO nanocrystals is 10.49 nm. The unique three-dimensional conductive framework can provide good electronic contact between the ZnO particles and buffer the volume variation during the lithiation/delithiation processes. As an electrode material for LIBs, the ZnO/PNR composite delivers a first cycle discharge capacity of 1658 mAh g-1 and a capacity retention of 50.7% over 150 cycles at 200 mA g-1, indicating high specific capacity and outstanding cycle stability.

New Ideas

In this study, a three-dimensional hybrid was synthesized via depositing of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) particles on the abandoned disposable sheet mask fabric, followed by the polymerization of polypyrrole (PPY). The as-prepared nanocomposite shows superior electrochemical performances when it was used for the material for the flexible supercapacitor electrode. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of CNTs, Fe3O4 and PPY in such a porous structure, cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements indicated that the as-prepared hybrid possessed a good reversibility and high specific capacity at various scanning rates. It turned out that the as-prepared electrode demonstrated a high specific capacitance of 221.7[Formula: see text]F/g at the scanning rate of 50[Formula: see text]mV/s and long-life cycling stability of 88.2% after 10[Formula: see text]000 cycles. Besides, the electrode composite had good flexibility after repeated bending times of 3000. With the exception of improved electrochemical properties, this hybrid electrode material also showed many advantages, including facile preparation, flexibility and cost savings. These results will provide new ideas and solutions to design and fabricate the flexible supercapacitors, which has great prospect in the development of energy storage devices.
