Effects of carbon nanotube functionalization on the agglomeration and sintering of supported Pd nanoparticles

Tailoring the phase composition of carbon-coated nickel sulfides to achieve a high specific capacitance

“…Three distinct peaks appeared corresponding to the D (∼1358 cm −1 ), G (∼1564 cm −1 ), and A (∼1485 cm −1 ) bands according to the deconvolutions of the spectra. 38,46,47 The D band is assigned to the incomplete graphite while the G band is related to the graphitic carbon, and the A band is responsible for amorphous carbon. 48 The I D /I G ratio was found to be 1.70, 1.77, and 1.51 for NiS@C0, NiS 2 /NiS@C1, and NiS 2 /NiS@C2, respectively.…”
