FeO/Graphene Composite Anode Material for Fast-Charging Li-Ion Batteries.

Composite anode material based on FeO and reduced graphene oxide is prepared by base-catalysed co-precipitation and sonochemical dispersion. Structural and morphological characterizations demonstrate an effective and homogeneous embedding of FeO nanoparticles in the carbonaceous matrix. Electrochemical characterization highlights specific capacities higher than 1000 mAh g at 1C, while a capacity of 980 mAhg is retained at 4C, with outstanding cycling stability.

Novel MIPs-Parabens based SPE Stationary Phases Characterization and Application.

In this work, the synthesis, characterization, and application of novel parabens imprinted polymers as highly selective solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbents have been reported. The imprinted polymers were created using sol-gel molecular imprinting process. All the seven parabens were considered herein in order to check the phase selectivity.

Electrospun Carbon/Cu O Nanocomposite material as Sustainable and High Performance Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

The increase in energy density of the next generation of battery materials to meet the new challenges of the electrical vehicles era calls for innovative and easily scalable materials with sustainable processes. An innovative Cu O/C nanocomposite material, characterized by a highly conductive 3D-framework, with Cu O/Cu-metal contiguous nanodomains is prepared by electrospinning. The electrode processing is made using a polyacrylic acid binder.

Tin-Decorated Reduced Graphene Oxide and NaLiNiMnO as Electrode Materials for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

A tin-decorated reduced graphene oxide, originally developed for lithium-ion batteries, has been investigated as an anode in sodium-ion batteries. The composite has been synthetized through microwave reduction of poly acrylic acid functionalized graphene oxide and a tin oxide organic precursor. The final product morphology reveals a composite in which Sn and SnO₂ nanoparticles are homogenously distributed into the reduced graphene oxide matrix.

Comparison between Exhaustive and Equilibrium Extraction Using Different SPE Sorbents and Sol-Gel Carbowax 20M Coated FPSE Media.

This paper reports the performance comparison between the exhaustive and equilibrium extraction using classical Avantor C18 solid phase extraction (SPE) sorbent, hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) SPE sorbent, Sep-Pak C18 SPE sorbent, novel sol-gel Carbowax 20M (sol-gel CW 20M) SPE sorbent, and sol-gel CW 20M coated fabric phase sorptive extraction (FPSE) media for the simultaneous extraction and analysis of three inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) drugs that possess logP values (polarity) ranging from 1.66 for cortisone, 2.30 for ciprofloxacin, and 2.

Anatase TiO as a Cheap and Sustainable Buffering Filler for Silicon Nanoparticles in Lithium-Ion Battery Anodes.

The design of effective supporting matrices to efficiently cycle Si nanoparticles is often difficult to achieve and requires complex preparation strategies. In this work, we present a simple synthesis of low-cost and environmentally benign aAnatase TiO nanoparticles as buffering filler for Si nanoparticles (Si@TiO ). The average anatase TiO crystallite size was approximately 5 nm.
