In-situ synthesis of Bi nanospheres anchored in 3D interconnected cellulose nanocrystal derived carbon aerogel as anode for high-performance Mg-ion batteries

Dynamic template directed construction of three-dimensional porous bismuth aerogels for high-rate Na-ion storage

“…52 Notably, the R ct value (1.5 Ω) for the 3DBS aerogel was significantly smaller than those for 3DBNS and 3DBNW aerogels (1.9 and 2.1 Ω), implying the good electronic conductivity of the 3DBS aerogel anode. Besides, the corresponding Na-ion diffusion coefficient ( D Na + ) is calculated based on the following equations: 53 Z ′ = R s + R ct + σω −1/2 …”

Cellulose‐based smart materials: Novel synthesis techniques, properties, and applications in energy storage and conversion devices

“…However, the need for more suitable anodes has hindered the advancement of highperformance MIBs. Cheng et al 152 introduced a novel anode for MIBs, comprising Bi nanospheres embedded in a carbon aerogel derived from CNCs (CNC-CA@Bi-NS). By employing ion-induced gelation and in situ thermal reduction processes, they achieved homogeneous incorporation of near-monodisperse Bi nanospheres (4-9 nm diameter) into the interconnected CA matrix.…”

Cellulose-templated Bi2SiO5nanorods with enhanced UV/vis light utilization efficiency for high-performance photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants

“…The reason may be the formation of coordination bonds between the metal cations and cellulose. 22 The dispersion of the photocatalyst in organic pollutant solution could be promoted by these hydroxyl groups. 23 The peak at 1066 cm −1 originated from Si-O-Si vibration, 24 and the band at 951 cm −1 belonged to (SiO 3 ) 2− vibration.…”
