Phloroglucinol–resorcinol–formaldehyde (PRF) carbon aerogels were synthesized by sol–gel reaction. The results of condition of shrinkage showed a degree of crosslinking more obvious with the increasing of the carbonization temperature. CA900 displays the highest adsorption amount and the biggest loops, as well as an increase in pore size and volume in comparison to the others samples. The SEM images of carbon aerogels under different carbonization temperature possess closer network structure and excellent connectivity, the holes between the network are abundant. The XRD patterns show that the high carbonization temperature can enhance the graphitization degree of carbon aerogels.
Carbon coated micro/nanostructure FePO4composite materials were synthesized by hydrothermal methode, in which citric acid was used as both complexant and carbon resource. The dependence of synthesis process and complexant on the structure and morphology of composite materials were investigated by X ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM). The results showed that the sample consisted of dispersive microspheres with a quite uniform size distribution of 10μm through hydrothermal reaction at 130°C for 24h, when solution concetration was 0.03mol/L and pH value was nearly 2. After calcinated at 550°C for 3h, the microspheres were comprised of nanosticks, and their specific surface area can reach nearly 14 m2/g. Due to their micro/nanomicrosphere structure, the composite materials will benefit to the increase of lithium diffusion rate meanwhile preserve high tap density.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
