Urchin like inverse spinel manganese doped NiCoO microspheres as high performances anode for lithium-ion batteries.

The ternary transition metal oxides are promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their practical applications are greatly hindered by the poor conductivity and huge volume changes. To solve the issues, urchin-like inverse spinel manganese (Mn) doped NiCoO hierarchical microspheres were fabricated through a facile hydrothermal approach and subsequent annealing treatment.

In Situ Growing BCN Nanotubes on Carbon Fibers for Novel High-Temperature Supercapacitor with Excellent Cycling Performance.

Carbon nanomaterials have elicited much research interest in the energy storage field, but most of them cannot be used at high temperatures. Thus, a supercapacitor with high energy and desired stability at high temperatures is urgently required. Herein, BCN nanotubes (BCNNTs) with excellent performance at high temperatures are generated on carbon fibers by optimizing the ratio of B and N.
