Rational surface Design and electron Regulation of co-deposition Ru and Ti on TiO nanotubes as self-supporting electrode for high-performance chlorine evolution reaction.

The chlorine evolution reaction (CER) is essential for chlorine (Cl) production. However, the catalyst deactivation and side reaction oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are still serious problems for CER. Improving the stability and selectivity of catalyst for long term electrocatalytic reaction in large current density is highly desired.

Antimony Oxides-Based Anode Materials for Alkali Metal-Ion Storage.

With the increasing demand for renewable energy, alkali metal-ion (lithium/sodium/potassium-ion) batteries play more and more important roles in the field of static storage and electrical vehicle industry. Novel anode materials with high reversible capacity, safety and long-term cycling stability are desiderated to meet the ever-growing demand for alkali metal-ion batteries with high electrochemical performance. Antimony oxides (Sb O ) show electrochemical reaction activity with all of lithium, sodium and potassium, and are expected to be promising anode materials for alkali metal-ion storage due to their high theoretical capacities, appropriate operating potential and excellent safety properties.
