The microwave-hydrothermal method for synthesizing g-MnO2 has been investigated for the first time. The dandelion-like g-MnO2 active material with 1.0-5.0 μm in diameter was obtained from KBrO3 and MnSO4 via the novel method. Compared with traditional low-temperature hydrothermal method, this approach lowers the temperature by 30-40 °C, and shorts the reaction time 6-14 h. Electrochemical properties of dandelion-like γ-MnO2were elucidated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. The synthesized material shows a relative high specific capacitance, and the MnO2 obtained at the condition of 75 °C for 2 h shows the best electrochemical properties with a specific capacitance of 239.3 F·g-1 at the current density of 100 mA·g-1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte solution.

The composites of graphene oxide/ Fe2O3-nanotubes (GO/ Fe2O3-NTs) have been fabricated through a facile one-step hydrothermal method. Fe2O3-NTs crystallines were homogeneously distributed on GO, which have been confirmed by transmission electron microscopy analysis (TEM). The structure, composition and electrochemical properties of GO/ Fe2O3-NTs composites were investigated by means of selective-area electron diffraction (SAED), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, cyclic voltammogram (CV) curves and galvanostatic charge–discharge curves. GO/ Fe2O3-NTs composites exhibit a high specific capacitance of 133.2 Fg-1in 1 M Li2SO4electrolyte. In addition, the GO/ Fe2O3-NTs composites electrode shows good long-term cycle stability (only 9% decrease of the specific capacitance is observed after 1000 charge–discharge cycles).

In this report, NFL-ZnWO4 was synthesized by a hydrothermal route and investigated for application in supercapacitors for the first time. The physical and chemical characterizations of the prepared nanomaterial were analyzed by SEM, EDS, XRD and XPS, respectively. Supercapacitors study of CV, GCD and EIS revealed that NFL-ZnWO4 exhibits good electrochemical properties. The high specific capacitance value of 107.7 F g-1 was achieved at 5 mV s−1. These findings demonstrated that ZnWO4 could be a promising electrode material candidate and highly desirable for application of high property supercapacitors in the future.

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.
