Revealing the Effect of the Microstructure on Potassium Storage Behavior in a Two-Dimensional Mesoporous Carbon Anode.

Hard carbon is considered as the most promising anode material for potassium-ion energy storage devices. Substantial progress has been made in exploring advanced hard carbons to solve the issues of sluggish kinetics and large volume changes caused by the large radius of K. However, the relationship between their complicated microstructures and the K charge storage behavior is still not fully explored.

Using 3-Isocyanatopropyltrimethoxysilane to Decorate Graphene Oxide with Nano-Titanium Dioxide for Enhancing the Anti-Corrosion Properties of Epoxy Coating.

In this paper, the graphene oxide loaded with nano titanium dioxide (TiO-GO) was synthesized through 3-isocyanatopropyltrimethoxysilane (IPTMS) and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and dispersion test. The results illustrated our modification was successful and TiO-GO was transferred from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. That greatly enhanced the dispersity of TiO-GO in epoxy through the observation of the coating morphology test.
