ABSTRACTIn order to improve the charge/discharge cycling performance of the LiMn2O4 cathode, the spinel LiMn2O4 is coated on the structurally stable SiO2 nanosphere cores, LiMn2O4@SiO2. The core-shell LiMn2O4@SiO2 nanosphere cathodes are prepared by the MnCO3 precipitation on the silica surface and the following solid state reaction of MnCO3@SiO2 with a lithium salt. The charge/discharge cycle stability has improved by the nanostructural characteristics of the LiMn2O4@ shell on the SiO2 core. The cathode composed of LiMn2O4@SiO2 nanospheres exhibits higher capacity retention of 97% than that of LiMn2O4 nanoparticles of 89%, after 100 battery cycles at a 10C rate.

Monodispersed SiO2-core/PMMA-shell composite nanospheres have been prepared via activator generated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (AGET ATRP) mediated by an iron (III) catalyst. By simply adjusting the amount of monomer, the shell thickness of products can easily be tuned. Samples were characterized by FT-IR, TEM, 1H NMR. The results showed that the sphere structure kept unchanging after grafting. FT-IR and 1H NMR measurements show that the polymer was grafted on the silica surface successfully. TEM results for composite nanospheres suggested the core-shell-like structure of the hybrid nanoparticle.

Although Fe3O4 has high capacity, the low conductivity and poor cycle stability have limited its application in supercapacitor. To address this issue, the core-shell structured Fe3O4@polypyrrole (Fe3O4@PPy) composite materials could...

The Ni3S2/Ni(OH)2 electrode could deliver a high areal capacity of 1.58 C/cm2 at 2 mA/cm2, along with outstanding cycling stability (113% capacity retention after 30,000 cycles). The energy density of the Ni3S2/Ni(OH)2//AC hybrid device was 30.23 Wh/kg at a power density of 155 W/kg (15.5 Wh/kg at 3,875 W/kg). Compared with other Ni(OH)2 composites on Ni foam, these results indicate that Ni3S2/Ni(OH)2 directly grown on Ni foam opens up the potential application for energystorage devices with high areal capacity and high cycling performance.

In this work, hollow carbon nanospheres (HCNs) were synthesized by carbonizing core/shell particles of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)/ resorcinol formaldehyde. The core/shell particles were prepared using emulsion polymerization; polymethylmethacrylate as a template and resorcinol-formaldehyde polymer as the carbon source. Spheres were first synthesized by batch mode polymerization and then the shell was polymerized on the surface of the spheres. The composite was stabilized, and then carbonized. The effect of calcination temperature was investigated in the range between 200-500oC. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX), Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) were used for characterization of the resulting carbon.

A novel core–shell KNO3@alginate-Ca particle was prepared by a facile method of electro-coextrusion. The core–shell KNO3@alginate-Ca particle was a promising adsorbent for uranium removal and a slow-release material for potassium release.
