Sulfur/carbon nanocomposites have been successfully prepared by a solution-based processing technique using dimethyl sulfoxide as the solvent. The as-prepared nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction and field ...

Graphene nanosheets have been investigated as cathode catalysts for lithium-air batteries with alkyl carbonate electrolyte. Field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope and Raman spectroscopy ...

Many alternative energy technologies have been developed in an attempt to alleviate the critical problems of an escalating energy crisis and greenhouse gas pollution, derived from the consumption of fossil fuels. Rechargeable ...

Mesoporous nickel oxide nanowires were synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction and subsequent annealing at 400?degrees C. The porous one-dimensional nanostructures were analysed by field-emission SEM, high-resolution TEM ...

Polyhedral magnetite nanocrystals with multiple facets were synthesised by a low temperature hydrothermal method. Atomistic simulation and calculations on surface attachment energy successfully predicted the polyhedral ...

Tuneable porous α-Fe2O3 materials were prepared by using a selective etching method. The structure and morphology of the as-prepared porous hematites have been systematically characterised by X-ray diffraction, field ...
