Nickel silicide nanowire anodes for microbial fuel cells to advance power production and charge transfer efficiency in 3D configurations.

The growing energy demands of the industrial world have driven advancements in green energy technologies. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which harness power from microorganisms, show promise for energy extraction from wastewater and sludge. However, challenges remain in improving power output and sustaining performance under high-charge conditions.

Antimony doped SnOnanowire@C core-shell structure as a high-performance anode material for lithium-ion battery.

SnOis considered as one of the high specific capacity anode materials for Lithium-ion batteries. However, the low electrical conductivity of SnOlimits its applications. This manuscript reports a simple and efficient approach for the synthesis of Sb-doped SnOnanowires (NWs) core and carbon shell structure which effectively enhances the electrical conductivity and electrochemical performance of SnOnanostructures.
