We report on the elaborate synthesis of TiO2−x@SnO2−x nanotubes by NaBH4 co-reduction, in which the synergistic interplay between the SnO2−x core and the TiO2−x shell results in superior cyclability and rate capability for ultrastable and fast lithium storage.

By evenly mixing polytetrafluoroethylene-silicon energetic materials (PTFE-Si EMs) with tin oxide (SnO2) particles, we demonstrate a direct synthesis of graphene-encapsulated SnO2 (Gr-SnO2) nanoparticles through the self-propagated exothermic reaction of the EMs. The highly exothermic reaction of the PTFE-Si EMs released a huge amount of heat that induced an instantaneous temperature rise at the reaction zone, and the rapid expansion of the gaseous SiF4 product provided a high-speed gas flow for dispersing the molten particles into finer nanoscale particles. Furthermore, the reaction of the PTFE-NPs with Si resulted in a simultaneous synthesis of graphene that encapsulated the SnO2 nanoparticles in order to form the core-shell nanostructure. As sodium storage material, the graphene-encapsulated SnO2 nanoparticles exhibit a good cycling performance, superior rate capability, and a high initial Coulombic efficiency of 85.3%. This proves the effectiveness of our approach for the scalable synthesis of core-shell-structured graphene-encapsulated nanomaterials.

We demonstrate a facile fabrication in which encapsulation of GeOx nanoparticles into hollow carbon shells is achieved through co-axial electrospinning. The resultant GeOx@C core–shell fiber electrode exhibits excellent lithium storage performance, with stable reversible capacity and excellent rate capability.

A novel core–shell hetero-structured electrode (NF@CoO@Co/N–C) is designed and synthesized via a “anchor-etch-calcine” process for boosting electrochemical capacitor behaviour. The unique structure endows NF@CoO@Co/N–C with ultrahigh areal capacitances and good rate capability.

In this work, titanium oxide nanorod arrays were fabricated by using the hydrothermal method on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass. The diameter of the nanorods could be controlled from 150 nm to 30 nm by changing the growth parameters. The surface morphology and the structure of the samples were characterized by SEM and XRD. The wetting properties were identified by contact angle measurement. Platelet attachment was investigated to evaluate the blood compatibility of the samples with different nanoscale topographies. Results show that the nanotopographical surfaces perform outstanding blood compatibility, and the adhering platelet decreased with the increasing diameter of the nanorods.
