“…A maximum specific capacitance of 1052 Fg −1 (pH-7 at 2 mV s −1 ) was observed for the BiPO 4 prepared from the ultrasonication process. Vadivel et al (2016) reported a solvothermal route to fabricate a BiPO 4 /MWCNT composite; a maximum specific capacitance of 504 Fg −1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s −1 was obtained [9]. Thus, the electrochemical properties of the BiPO 4 nanomaterial were greatly influenced by the synthesis route.…”

BiPO 4 nanomaterial was synthesized using EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid) as the surfactant via a simple microwave method. The structure and morphology of BiPO 4 were systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) studies. The obtained BiPO 4 nanoparticles were, on average, 150-300 nm. The electrochemical results showed that the specific capacitance of BiPO 4 obtained using the microwave route was up to 104 Fg −1 at a current density of 1 Ag −1 with a large potential window of 1.7 V. The material showed excellent cycling stability (92% capacitance retention) after 500 cycles at a current density of 1 Ag −1 .

“…However, there have been few reports about BiPO 4 being used as electrode materials in supercapacitors. To prepare BiPO 4 , hydrothermal synthesis was practiced . Microwave‐assisted hydrothermal heating is a green approach to synthesize materials in a shorter time and with lower power consumption, as a consequence of the direct and uniform heating .…”

Phosphorus compounds, such as metal phosphides and phosphates have shown excellent performances and great potential in electrochemical energy storage, which are demonstrated by research works published in recent years. Some of these metal phosphides and phosphates and their hybrids compare favorably with transition metal oxides/hydroxides, which have been studied extensively as a class of electrode materials for supercapacitor applications, where they have limitations in terms of electrical and ion conductivity and device stability. To be specific, metal phosphides have both metalloid characteristics and good electric conductivity. For metal phosphates, the open-framework structures with large channels and cavities endow them with good ion conductivity and charge storage capacity. In this review, we present the recent progress on metal phosphides and phosphates, by focusing on their advantages/disadvantages and potential applications as a new class of electrode materials in supercapacitors. The synthesis methods to prepare these metal phosphides/phosphates are looked into, together with the scientific insights involved, as they strongly affect the electrochemical energy storage performance. Particular attentions are paid to those hybrid-type materials, where strong synergistic effects exist. In the summary, the future perspectives and challenges for the metal phosphides, phosphates and hybrid-types are proposed and discussed.

“…Magnetic properties of materials are fundamentally determined by the magnetic couplings at the atomic level. Unlike bulk ferromagnetic materials, which usually form multiple magnetic domains, 1D nanomaterials consist of the simple magnetic domain resulted in obvious difference in several important aspects from the property of their bulk counterparts [36][37][38][39][40].…”

One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures are generally used to describe large aspect ratio rods, wires, belts, and tubes. The 1D ZnO nanostructures have become the focus of research owing to its unique physical and technological significance in fabricating nanoscale devices. When the radial dimension of the 1D ZnO nanostructures decreases to some lengths (e.g., the light wavelength, the mean of the free path of the phonon, Bohr radius, etc.), the effect of the quantum mechanics is definitely crucial. With the large surface-to-volume ratio and the confinement of two dimensions, 1D ZnO nanostructures possess the captivating electronic, magnetic, and optical properties. Furthermore, 1D ZnO nanostructure's large aspect ratio, an ideal candidate for the energy transport material, can conduct the quantum particles (photons, phonons, electrons) to improve the relevant technique applications. To date, many methods have been developed to synthesize 1D ZnO nanostructures. Therefore, methodologies for achieving 1D ZnO nanostructures are expressed, and the relevant potential application for solar cells are also present to highlight the attractive property of 1D ZnO nanostructures.
