The effect of FEC as a co-solvent on the electrochemical performance and surface chemistry
of silicon nanowire (SiNW) anodes was thoroughly investigated. Enhanced electrochemical …

For a very long period, tin was considered one of the most important metals for humans due
to its easy access in nature and abundance of sources. In the past, tin was mainly used to …

A novel mesoporous‐nanotube hybrid composite, namely mesoporous tin dioxide (SnO2)
overlaying on the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), was prepared by a …

SnO2 nanotubes with controllable morphologies are successfully synthesized by using a
variety of one‐dimensional (1D) silica mesostructures as effective sacrificial templates …

The main principles of operation of modern lithium-ion batteries and the modern trends in
development of new-generation batteries are described.

In this report, we present a simple and generic concept involving metal nanoclusters
supported on metal oxide nanowires as stable and high capacity anode materials for Li-ion …

The SnO2@ polypyrrole (PPy) nanocomposites have been synthesized by a one-pot
oxidative chemical polymerization method. The structure, composition, and morphology of …

The surface of commercial graphite powders has been successfully modified with a thin AlF3
coating via chemical precipitation for the first time. A thin (∼ 2 nm thick) and uniform AlF3 …

Hierarchical flower-like SnO2 nanomicrostructure has been synthesized via a solvent-
induced and surfactant assisted self-assembly technique at ambient temperature followed …

The effect of 1, 3-dioxolane (DOL) based electrolyte solutions (DOL/LiTFSI and DOL/LiTFSI-
LiNO3) on the electrochemical performance and surface chemistry of silicon nanowire …
