Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with excellent electron conductivity are widely used to improve the electrochemical performance of the SnO anode. However, the chemical bonding between SnO and CNTs is not clearly elucidated despite it may affect the lithiation/delithiation behavior greatly. In this work, an SnO @CNT composite with SnC and SnOC bonds as a linkage bridge is reported and the influence of the SnC and SnOC bonds on the lithium storage properties is revealed. It is found that the SnC bond can act as an ultrafast electron transfer path, facilitating the reversible conversion reaction between Sn and Li O to form SnO . Therefore, the SnO @CNT composite with more SnC bond shows high reversible capacity and nearly half capacity contributes from conversion reaction. It is opposite for the SnO @CNT composite with more SnOC bond that the electrons cannot be transferred directly to CNTs, resulting in depressed conversion reaction kinetics. Consequently, this work can provide new insight for exploration and design of metal oxide/carbon composite anode materials in lithium-ion battery.

Increased levels of p-aminobenzoic acid in aquatic environments, primarily utilized as UV filter in sunscreens, poses a serious threat to human and ecosystem health, while there is a dearth of exhaustive researches pertaining to the efficient and cost-effective elimination of p-aminobenzoic acid. Herein, a Ti/SnO-Sb/CNT-α-PbO/CNT-Ce-β-PbO, referred to Ti/CNT/CNT-Ce-PbO electrode was constructed by incorporating CNTs into the middle layer of PbO electrode, and simultaneously doping CNTs and Ce in the active layer. A series of tests signify that the target electrode is successfully fabricated, which exhibits higher particle density and smaller particle size, as well as exceptional degradation performance for p-aminobenzoic acid with a degradation rate of 99.

New generation of electrochemical energy storage devices (EESD) such as supercapattery is being intensively studied as it merges the ideal energy density of batteries and optimal power density of supercapacitors in a single device. A multitude of parameters such as the method of electrodes preparation can affect the performance of supercapattery. In this research, nickel doped tin sulfide /tin oxide (SnS@Ni/SnO) heterostructures were grown directly on the Ni foam and subjected to different calcination temperatures to study their effect on formation, properties, and electrochemical performance through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and electrochemical tests.

The electrochemical glucose oxidation reaction (GOR) presents an opportunity to produce hydrogen and high-value chemical products. Herein, we investigate the effect of Sn in Ni nanoparticles for the GOR to formic acid (FA). Electrochemical results show that the maximum activity is related to the amount of Ni, as Ni sites are responsible for catalyzing the GOR via the NiOOH/Ni(OH) pair.

A heteroleptic amino(imino)stannylene (TMS N)(I BuN)Sn: (TMS=trimethylsilyl, I Bu=C[(N- Bu)CH] ) as well as two homoleptic NHI-stabilized tetrylenes, (I BuN) E: (NHI=N-heterocyclic imine, E=Ge, Sn) are presented. VT-NMR investigations of (I BuN) Sn: (2) reveal an equilibrium between the monomeric stannylene at room temperature and the dimeric form at -80 °C as well as in the solid state. Upon reaction of the homoleptic tetrylenes with CO , both compounds insert two equivalents of CO , however differing bonding modes can be observed.
