Study on the annealing phase transformation mechanism and electrochemical properties of carbon submicron fibers loaded with cobalt

Abstract

Heterogeneous carbon submicron fibers loaded with Co3O4/Co and elemental cobalt were prepared by electrospinning and annealing processes. The phase transformation mechanism of Co3O4 and elemental cobalt in heterogeneous submicron fibers at different annealing temperatures was studied. The electrochemical properties of carbon submicron fiber self-supported electrode materials loaded with Co3O4/Co and elemental cobalt were investigated. The experimental results show that the submicron fibers loaded with Co3O4/Co have better electrochemical performance because Co3O4 has large capacitance, the improved electro conductibility of cobalt metal, and the cellular structure of carbon submicron fibers, which provide sufficient ion transport channels while alleviating the changes in the structure and volume of Co3O4 during the cycle.

Fe3O4@ABA-aniline-CuI nanocomposite as a highly efficient and reusable nanocatalyst for the synthesis of benzothiazole-sulfide aryls and heteroaryls

“…[23][24][25] Magnetic nanoparticles are particles smaller than one hundred nanometers that have magnetic properties in the presence of an external magnetic eld. 26,27 Clumping is one of the disadvantages of magnetic nanoparticles as catalysts and functionalizing the surface of magnetic nanoparticles is a suitable way to solve this problem. [28][29][30] Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles are well known and can be used as a suitable support for functionalization with metals, organic catalysts, N-heterocyclic carbenes and chiral catalysts.…”

Enhancement of vibrational characteristics of rotating CFRP composite tapered plates reinforced by graphene nanoparticles

“…The findings demonstrate that open‐hole laminates' load‐bearing capability may be greatly increased, and 3D printed patches are less difficult to produce and more affordable. The electrochemical performance of carbon submicron fiber loaded with Co 3 O 4 /Co and elemental cobalt was examined by Xu et al 15 Mukhopadhyay et al 16 investigated how the duration of the sonication affected the degree of CNT damage. After 24 h of sonication, it was discovered that all of the CNT's graphene sheets had been transformed into an amorphous structure.…”
