Metal and metal oxide amorphous nanomaterials towards electrochemical applications

Abstract

Amorphous nanomaterials have aroused extensive interest due to their unique properties derived from the distinct atomic structure of long-range disorder while short- to medium-range order. Herein, an overview of state-of-art...

An in situ grown amorphous ZrO2 layer on zeolite for enhanced phosphate adsorption

“…This may be attributed to the evenly distributed adsorption sites derived from the isotropic properties of amorphous materials in chemical environments, in good agreement with previous studies. 38 …”

High‐Entropy Catalyst—A Novel Platform for Electrochemical Water Splitting

“…[ 164 ] Atomic electron tomography (AET) not only recognizes the 3D atomic structure of HEM catalysts but also is applied to discern the crystal defects of HEM catalysts. [ 165 ]…”

“…© 2022 Wiley-VCH GmbH but also is applied to discern the crystal defects of HEM catalysts. [165] Identifying active sites or species is a precondition for the rational design of catalysts exhibiting both high activity and high stability in water splitting. [166] In situ characterization techniques have always been conducted to investigate the water splitting process under real operating conditions, which provides a deeper understanding of the underlying reaction mechanisms involving the relationship between material structures and surface sites.…”

Enhancement of V2O5Li-ion cathode stability by Ni/Co doped Li-borate-based glass

“…15 According to a previous study, glass nature has an open structure that may be used for the high stability of battery electrodes. [16][17][18] The Liborate base glass system was successfully used as a Li-ion electrode in this investigation. As we have studied in various conditions, cobalt and nickel co-doping was used to improve the electrochemical characteristics.…”
