The effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) addition on the electrochemical performance of Al doped α-nickel hydroxide is studied. The microstructure and electrochemical performance of the prepared samples are characterized by XRD,SEM, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, charge-discharge at different rate, and Charge-discharge cycling stability tests. The results show that the addition of CNTs could decrease the electrochemical reaction impedance dramatically, increase the specific discharge capacity at higher rate, and improve the Charge-discharge cycling stability reversibility.

Amorphous nickel hydroxide powder codoped with Fe3+ and PO43- was synthesized by micro-emulsion precipitation method combined with rapid freezing technique. The microstructures of the prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, and Raman spectra. The electrochemical performance of the prepared samples was analyzed by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and charge-discharge tests. The results showed that this amorphous nickel hydroxide codoped with Fe3+ and PO43- resulted in more structural defects within the nickel hydroxide. The Fe3+ and PO43- codoping could increase the specific discharge capacity and improve the electrochemical reversibility of the amorphous nickel hydroxide.

Amorphous nickel hydroxide powders doped with rare earth La3+ and Al3+ were synthesized by the combined chemical precipitation and rapid freezing method. The microstructure of the samples was characterized by XRD and Raman spectra. The electrochemical performance of the prepared samples was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and charge-discharge tests. The results showed that this amorphous nickel hydroxide codoped with La3+ and Al3+ had more structural defects than those of the undoped amorphous nickel hydroxide and La3+ singly doped amorphous nickel hydroxide. These abundant structural defects with La3+ and Al3+ codoped amorphous nickel hydroxide decreased the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and improved the electrochemical reversibility of the amorphous nickel hydroxide electrode.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) using a LiFePO4 cathode and graphite anode were assembled in coin cell form and subjected to 1000 charge-discharge cycles at 1, 2, and 5 C at 25 °C. The performance degradation of the LIB cells under different C-rates was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy. The most severe degradation occurred at 2 C while degradation was mitigated at the highest C-rate of 5 C. EIS data of the equivalent circuit model provided information on the changes in the internal resistance. The charge-transfer resistance within all the cells increased after the cycle test, with the cell cycled at 2 C presenting the greatest increment in the charge-transfer resistance. Agglomerates were observed on the graphite anodes of the cells cycled at 2 and 5 C; these were more abundantly produced in the former cell. The lower degradation of the cell cycled at 5 C was attributed to the lowered capacity utilization of the anode. The larger cell voltage drop caused by the increased C-rate reduced the electrode potential variation allocated to the net electrochemical reactions, contributing to the charge-discharge specific capacity of the cells.

AbstractA highly sensitive DNA electrochemical biosensor was prepared based on multi-walled carbon nanotube/nano-Ag-TiO2 composite membrane. The Ag-TiO2 composite is mixed with a suitable amount of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) dispersed in N,N-dimethylformamide to form a uniform and stable mixed solution, which is applied onto the surface of the bare carbon paste electrode. A MWNT/Ag-TiO2 modified carbon paste electrode was prepared. The large specific surface area and good electron transport properties of carbon nanotubes have a good synergistic effect on the good biocompatibility of Ag-TiO2 nanocomposites and excellent adsorption capacity of DNA, which significantly improves the immobilization and DNA hybridization of DNA probes. Detection sensitivity. The preparation of the sensing membrane and the immobilization and hybridization of DNA were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The exogenous glufosinate acetyltransferase gene fragment of transgenic plants was detected by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The linear range was 1. 0 × 10 - 11 ∼1. 0 × 10 - 6 mol / L. The detection limit was 3. 12 × 10 - 12 mol / L.
