Article Synopsis
- Researchers successfully coated gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires (NWs) with a zinc oxide (ZnO) shell using atomic layer deposition at a temperature of 300 °C.
- Scanning transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the interface between GaN and ZnO was sharp and defect-free, indicating a high-quality coating.
- The study analyzed the strain in the core-shell structure from the mismatch and thermal properties of the materials, showing that atomic layer deposition offers benefits like uniform coating and accurate control over thickness.
Tin oxide (SnO)/zinc oxide (ZnO) core/shell nanowires as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) were investigated using a combination of classical electrochemical analysis and high-resolution electron microscopy to correlate structural changes and battery performance. The combination of the conversion materials SnO and ZnO is known to have higher storage capacities than the individual materials. We report the expected electrochemical signals of SnO and ZnO for SnO/ZnO core/shell nanowires as well as unexpected structural changes in the heterostructure after cycling.
