Article Synopsis
- Researchers are investigating the behavior of lithium deposition in lithium metal batteries (LMBs) using pure hollow core-carbon spheres coated on copper (PHCCSs@Cu).
- The study shows that lithium initially intercalates into the hollow carbon structure but predominantly plates on the external surfaces during charging.
- The findings suggest that lithium-ion transport and nucleation challenges contribute to the unfavorable deposition inside the hollow spheres, while the application potential of these materials in LMBs is also explored.
Chemically-prepared MnO2 containing a highly crystalline ramsdellite phase was tested as a cathode material in aqueous Zn-salt (ZnSO4 and Zn(CF3SO3)2) based electrolytes for the first time. This aqueous MnO2/Zn cell has shown excellent performance and reversibility, retaining ≈65% of its initial capacity for more than 1000 cycles. The charge storage mechanism is complex and includes a ramsdellite/tetragonal spinel two-phase reaction.

Within this study, silver (Ag) and four carbon-supported Ag catalysts were synthesized by the -radiation method and their morphology and structure examined using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and UV-Vis analysis. The nanocatalysts were tested for Br sensing in aqueous media using cyclic voltammetry.
