Effects of Al-dopant at Ni or Co sites in LiNiCoTiO on interlayer slabs (Li-O) and intralayer slabs (TM-O) and their influence on the electrochemical performance of cathode materials.

In order to satisfy the energy demands of the electromobility market, further improvements in cathode materials are receiving much attention, especially high energy density cathode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, the self-propagating combustion (SPC) method is use to synthesise undoped LiNiCoTiO (LNCT), novel nano-sized Al-doped LiNiCo Al TiO (LCA) and LiNi CoAl TiO (LNA) ( = 0.01) cathode materials.

Enhancement of Viscoelastic and Electrical Properties of Magnetorheological Elastomers with Nanosized Ni-Mg Cobalt-Ferrites as Fillers.

Carbon-based particles, such as graphite and graphene, have been widely used as a filler in magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) fabrication in order to obtain electrical properties of the material. However, these kinds of fillers normally require a very high concentration of particles to enhance the conductivity property. Therefore, in this study, the nanosized Ni-Mg cobalt ferrite is introduced as a filler to soften MRE and, at the same time, improve magnetic, rheological, and conductivity properties.

Enhancing Photocurrent Performance Based on Photoanode Thickness and Surface Plasmon Resonance Using Ag-TiO Nanocomposites in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.

This study investigated the different thicknesses of TiO photoanode films and the effect of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Ag-TiO nanocomposites on the current-voltage (I-V) performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). The TiO layer was deposited using the doctor blade technique and the thickness of the TiO films was controlled by using a different number of Scotch tape layers. The silver nanoparticles (AgNP) were synthesised using a chemical reduction method and the concentration of sodium citrate as a reducing agent was varied from 4 to 12 mM to study the effect of citrate ion on the size of the nanoparticles.
