In this work, the electrochemical performance of aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposited vanadium pentoxide cathodes at 600 °C, is presented. The as-grown oxides indicate specific discharge capacity of 300 mA h g-1 with capacity retention of 92 % after 10000 scans, coulombic efficiency of 100 %, noble structural stability and high reversibility. The present study shows the possibility to grow large-area magnesium cathode material with extended cycle stability via utilization of an aqueous electrolyte under a corrosive environment. This enhanced performance may be a combination of electrode morphology and adherence, when compared to previous work employing electrode growth temperature at 500 °C.

Orthorhombic Na0.44MnO2 with an S-shape tunnel structure was successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The Na0.44MnO2 material has lattice parameters of a = 9.0842 Å, b = 26.2889 Å, and c = 2.8245 Å. Scanning electron microscope analysis reveals that the morphologies of Na0.44MnO2 consist of Na0.44MnO2 nanowires with diameters of about 30-50 nm and Na0.44MnO2 particles with the size in the range of 200 to 500 nm. The first charge and discharge capacities of Na0.44MnO2 cathode, at 0.1 C between 2.0-4.0 V, are 66.2 mAh g-1 and 62.7 mAh g-1, respectively. The Na0.44MnO2 has an excellent cycle stability with 85.3% of capacity retention over 50 cycles. The coulombic efficiency of Na0.44MnO2 material is approximately 90% after 70 cycles. It is suggested that the structure of Na0.44MnO2 is stable during cycling and Na0.44MnO2 can be a promising cathode material for sodium ion batteries.

Carbon coated spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 were prepared by spray-drying using prepolymer of melamine formaldehyde resin (PMF) as carbon source of carbon coating layer. The PMF carbon coated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 was characterized by XRD, SEM, and other electrochemical measurements. The as-prepared lithium nickel manganese oxide has the cubic face-centered spinel structure with a space group of Fd3m. It showed good electrochemical performance as a cathode material for lithium ion battery. After 100 discharge and charge cycles at 0.5 C rate, the specific discharge capacity of carbon coated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 was 130 mAh·g−1, and the corresponding capacity retention was 98.8%. The 100th cycle specific discharge capacity at 10 C rate of carbon coated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 was 105.4 mAh·g−1, and even the corresponding capacity retention was 95.2%.

Herein, we reported the composite structure of LiMnO2 and Li2MnO3 as a low-cost and environmentally benign cathode material. This composite with the main phase of LiMnO2 (90%) was synthesized by hydrothermal method at 220°C from LiOH and Mn(CH3COO)2 precursors. The obtained nanosized LiMnO2-LiMnO3 cathode material exhibits a high capacity of 265 mAh g-1 at C/10. The incorporation of Li2MnO3 into the LiMnO2 phase could stabilize the structure, leading to the improved cycle stability of the cathode. The capacity retention of the cathode was 93% after 80 cycles at C/2. Our results facilitate a potential strategy for developing high-performance cathode materials based on the Li-Mn-O system.

AbstractIn this paper, we present the results of investigations on the use of semiconductors deposited by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) for the fabrication of neutron detectors. For this purpose, 20 μm thick hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) pin diodes and 100 μm thick polycrystalline diamond resistive detectors were fabricated. The detectors were coupled to a neutron-charged particle converter : a layer of either gadolinium or boron (isotope 10 enriched) deposited by evaporation. We have demonstrated the capability of such neutron detectors to operate at neutron fluxes ranging from 101 to 106 neutrons/cm2.s. The fabrication of large area detectors for neutron counting or cartography through the use of multichannel reading circuits is discussed. The advantages of these detectors include the ability to produce large area detectors at low cost, radiation hardness (∼ 4 Mrad for a-Si:H and ∼ 100 Mrad for diamond), and for diamond, operation at temperatures up to 500°C. These properties enable the use of these devices for neutron detection in harsh environments. Thermal neutron detection efficiency up to 22 % and 3 % are expected by coupling a-Si:H diodes and diamond detectors to 3 μm thick gadolinium (isotope 157) and 2 μm thick boron layers, respectively.

A modified, thermal atomic layer deposition process was employed for the pulsed chemical vapor deposition growth of vanadium pentoxide films using tetrakis (dimethylamino) vanadium and water as a co-reagent.Depositions were carried out at 350oC for 400 pulsed CVD cycles, and samples were subsequently annealed for 1hour at 400°C in air to form materials with enhanced cycling stability during the continuous lithium-ion intercala­tion/deintercalation processes. The diffusion coefficient was estimated to be 2.04x10-10 and 4.10x10-10 cm2 s-1 for the cathodic and anodic processes, respectively. These values are comparable or lower than those reported in the literature, indicating the capability of Li+ of getting access into the vanadium pentoxide framework at a fast rate. Overall, it presents a specific discharge capacity of 280 mAh g-1, capacity retention of 75 % after 10000 scans, a coulombic efficiency of 100 % for the first scan, dropping to 85 % for the 10000th scan, and specific energy of 523 Wh g-1.
