Influence of the Synthesis Route on the Properties of Hybrid NiO–MnCo2O4–Ni6MnO8 Anode Materials and their Electrochemical Performances

“…The XRD patterns were indexed to a mixed phase of NiO (PDF# 44‐1159), MnCo 2 O 4 (PDF# 84‐0482), and Ni 6 MnO 8 (PDF# 49‐1295). Furthermore, NiCl 2 ⋅ x H 2 O was observed in the XRD pattern, which was mainly generated from the chloridization of NiO by gaseous HCl in the furnace reactor . As shown in the XRD pattern, the amount of undesired NiCl 2 ⋅ x H 2 O can be minimized by further heat treatment at 450 °C for 5 h. The XRD patterns of the carbonate precursor prepared by using the solvothermal method are shown in Figure b.…”

“…Furthermore, NiCl 2 ·x H 2 Ow as observed in the XRD pattern,w hich was mainly generated from the chloridization of NiO by gaseous HCl in the furnace reactor. [32,33] As shown in the XRD pat-New materials with different morphologies, nanostructures, and components can have structural advantages for application in materials science. Multicomponent-active hybrid nanostructured materials are amongt he best candidates for application in electrode materials.…”

Effect of Crystal Structures on Electrochemical Performance of Hierarchically Porous CoSe2 Spheres as Anodes for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

“…Recently, transition metal sulfides/selenides (MXs), such as MoSe 2 , FeS 2 , CoS 2 , MoS 2 , have been explored as promising anode materials for the SIBs due to their high theoretical capacity and versatile material species . Among them, cobalt diselenide (CoSe 2 ) has received tremendous attention because of its zero bandgap, high theoretical capacity, low cost, and eco‐friendly .…”

Zn–Co Sulfide Microflowers Anchored on Three‐Dimensional Graphene: A High‐Capacitance and Long‐Cycle‐Life Electrode for Asymmetric Supercapacitors

“…In the past few years, many researchers have committed to solvingt his problem.M icro/nanostructures with special morphologies (urchinlike, core-shell structure, leaflike, nanowire arrays,m icroflowera rrays, etc.) [23] were designed and synthesized on effective conductive substrates such as Ni foam (NF), [24,25] carbon nanotubes, carbonc loth, [26] carbon fiber paper, [27] and three-dimensional graphene (3DG).
