In this study, two compounds of TiNb2O7 and Ti2Nb10O29 were successfully synthesized by mechanochemical method and post-annealing as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The effect of annealing atmosphere on the morphology, particle size, and electrochemical characteristics of two compounds was investigated. For these purposes, the reactive materials were milled under an argon atmosphere with a certain mole ratio. Subsequently, each sample was subjected to annealing treatment in two different atmospheres, namely argon and oxygen. Phase and morphology identifications were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) to identify the phases and evaluate the morphology of the synthesized samples. The charging and discharging tests were conducted using a battery-analyzing device to evaluate the electrochemical properties of the fabricated anodes. Annealing in different atmospheres resulted in variable discharge capacities so that the two compounds of TiNb2O7 and Ti2Nb10O29 annealed under the argon atmosphere showed a capacity of 60 and 66 mAh/g after 179 cycles, respectively, which had a lower capacity than their counterpart under the oxygen atmosphere. The final capacity of the annealed samples in the oxygen atmosphere is 72 and 74 mAh/g, respectively.

AbstractThe potential battery electrode material V2O3/C has been prepared using a sol–gel thermolysis technique, employing vanadyl hydroxide as precursor and different organic acids as both chelating agents and carbon sources. Composition and morphology of resultant materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopies, physical sorption, and elemental analysis. Stability and electronic properties of model composites with chemically and physically integrated carbon were studied by means of quantum-chemical calculations. All fabricated composites are hierarchically structured and consist of carbon-covered microparticles assembled of polyhedral V2O3 nanograins with intrusions of amorphous carbon at the grain boundaries. Such V2O3/C phase separation is thermodynamically favored while formation of vanadium (oxy)carbides or heavily doped V2O3 is highly unlikely. When used as anode for lithium-ion batteries, the nanocomposite V2O3/C fabricated with citric acid exhibits superior electrochemical performance with an excellent cycle stability and a specific charge capacity of 335 mAh g−1 in cycle 95 at 100 mA g−1. We also find that the used carbon source has only minor effects on the materials’ electrochemical performance.

The precursor Ni (OH)2 was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method with hexamethylenetetramine ((CH2)6N4) as precipitant and template, and then NiO was gained after calcination. The phase and morphology of the synthesized product were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the electrochemical capacitive characterization was performed using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronopotentiometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in a 6mol/L KOH aqueous solution electrolyte. The result shows that spherical NiO without impurity was synthesized, the average diameter of the spheres is 5 um and these spheres were constructed by the interactive arrangement of many nanoflakes in three dimensions. This kind of NiO shows the typical electrochemical characteristics of pseudo capacitance with high specific capacity and excellent rate capability. The specific capacity can reach 515F/g at the current density of 1A/g

ABSTRACTPhase formation characteristics of Sr0.7Bi2.4Ta2O9 (SBT) powder, synthesized via sol-gel and pyrolysis process, was investigated by using thermal analysis. Each of the two exotherms, appearing in differential thermal analysis (DTA) scan curves, was identified as crystallization of fluorite phase and transformation of fluorite to aurivillius phase, respectively by using x-ray diffraction (XRD). By applying non-isothermal kinetic analyses to the DTA results, activation energy values for the formation of fluorite and aurivillius phases were determined as 192 and 375 kJ/mol, respectively and Avrami exponent values for each reaction were determined as 0.91 and 0.96, respectively. These activation energy and Avrami exponent values were discussed in detail to understand phase formation mechanism in SBT system.

The forsterite-structure Mg2SiO4 was successfully synthesized by the aqueous sol-gel method using Si sols dioxide and magnesium nitrate as starting materials instead of expensive organic solvent and metal alkoxides. The as-prepared nanopowders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The results showed that the calcination process of gel consisted of a series of oxidation and combustion reactions, accompanied by significantly exothermal effects. Highly reactive nanosized Mg2SiO4 powders were successfully obtained at 850 °C with particle size of 60~80 nm.

Bioactivity is an important aspect in biomaterial science ensuring materials used are safe for clinical application. The study describes fabrication of composites containing polylactic acid (PLA) – polyethylene glycol (PEG) with incorporation of sol-gel derived 45S5 bioactive glass (BG). Thermal analysis via Differential Thermal Analysis shows a favorable point over degree of crystallization that influence cells attachment, although non-significant difference in values indicates BG has homogenously dispersed. This correlates to X-ray diffraction analysis where non-significant difference is seen in intensities of the diffraction peaks, which confirms low impact of BG brittleness properties over the fabricated composite. Composites’ pH and degradation study in Simulated Body Fluid shows a steady increment profile over time and lower degradation rate for the composite after incorporation of BG. In vitro cell proliferation study also showed that HDF cells seeded on composite film of P/BG2.5 exhibit highest cell viability with steady increment of proliferation throughout the observation period.

Sm2O3/ZnO nanoparticles were prepared via microwave-assisted hydrothermal and sol-gel combustion synthesis. Characteristics of obtained samples were compared in dependence of Sm2O3 content and calcination temperature. Prepared nanostructures were characterized with scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Nanoparticles prepared via microwave-assisted hydrothermal and sol-gel method have flower-like and spherical shape respectively. The photocatalytic activity of samples under solar light simulated illumination was found to be affected by content of Sm2O3, calcination temperature and preparation method. The first-order rate constant of MB solution degradation of samples prepared via microwave-assisted hydrothermal method approximately three times exceeds that of sol-gel samples.

To improve the cycle performance of spinel LiMn2O4as the cathode of 4 V class lithium ion batteries, spinel were successfully prepared using the sol-gel method. The dependence of the physicochemical properties of the spinel LiCrxMn2-xO4(x=0,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4) powders powder has been extensively investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), charge-discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that as Mn is replaced by Cr, the initial capacity decreases, but the cycling performance improves due to stabilization of spinel structure. Of all, the LiCr0.2Mn1.8O4has best electrochemical performance, 107.6 mAhg-1discharge capacity, 96.1% of the retention after 50 cycles.
