Carbon coated lithium iron phosphates were prepared by a carbon aerogel synthesis process, through which LiFePO4 particles were embedded in amorphous carbon. The carbon coating effect can significantly enhance the electronic ...

One-dimensional (1D) SnO2 nanowires were synthesized by a simple heat treatment of Sn¿Ag alloys. The presence of Ag in the alloy and a small amount of impurity oxygen in an inert gas played an important role in the growth ...

Ag and SnO2 nanopowders were synthesized by reverse-micelle method. The reverse micelles were prepared to form tiny aqueous droplets dispersed in oil-based solvents. Two reverse micelles containing metallic salts and ...

Ti6Na2O13 center dot nH(2)O and Ti6Na2O13 nanowires were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The synthesized Ti6Na2O13 nanowires were used as anode materials for Li-ion cells to examine Li-storage property. The preliminary ...
