Free-standing TiO₂nanograssy tubular hybrid membrane for polysulfide trapping in Li–S battery

Abstract

The growth of anodic TiO2 nanotubes with a high layer thickness of greater than 20 μm, “nanograss” structures are typically formed on the outermost surface of TNT walls.

Infiltration -driven performance enhancement of poly-crystalline cathodes in all-solid-state batteries

“…Electronic devices such as the internet of things (IoT), wearable devices, and electric vehicles (EVs) require safe lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with a high energy density that can be rapidly charged. Therefore, for the development of EVs that can be driven for long distances, several recent studies have focused on alternative battery technologies such as lithium-sulfur batteries [1][2][3][4] with a high theoretical capacity and highenergy-density nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes [5][6][7] . Commercial LIBs containing liquid electrolytes comprising flammable organic components are unsafe and often catch fire or explode, as highlighted by numerous incidents involving fires in EVs and smartphones.…”

Recent advances in TiO2 nanotube layers – A mini review of the latest developments in nanotube preparation and applications in photocatalysis and microwave sensing

“…Finally, upscaling of the TNT layers from the laboratory scale to large-or fullscale synthesis will be discussed, paving the way for industrial production of TNT layers for their commercial employment in conventional photocatalytic and other applications. Though also many other interesting studies were carried out within the last ∼3-5 years for the use of TNT layers in different application, for instance on further improvement on photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) [43][44][45][46] or Liion batteries, [47][48][49][50] deeper investigations on cell response on TNT layers, [51][52][53][54] or the use of TNT layers as ion sieves for Li extraction, [55] this review does not focus on these applications. The reason is that many other recently pub-lished review articles, as mentioned above, are focused on them.…”
