Synergistic effects of interface coupling and defect sites in WO3/InVO4 architectures for highly efficient nitrogen photofixation

Synergizing the internal electric field and ferroelectric polarization of the BiFeO3/ZnIn2S4 Z-scheme heterojunction for photocatalytic overall water splitting

“…In parallel, surface features of catalysts including functional group, 21 atomic defects, 22,23 and junctions [24][25][26][27] have a great impact on charge migration and utilization. Considering the fact that the band of BiFeO 3 straddles the water redox energy only, loading noble-metal-based water redox cocatalysts just enhanced oxygen evolution activity, difficult to nish the overall water splitting.…”

Facile synthesis of Si/Ge/graphite@C composite with improved tap density and electrochemical performance

“…With the increasing concern of CO 2 emission and environmental deterioration, energy storage devices such as lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used for the storage and utilization of renewable energy. 1–4 Due to its high theoretical capacity and low working potential, silicon is considered as one of the ideal anode materials for next generation LIBs with high energy density. 5–7 However, it suffers from severe volume changes during the alloying/dealloying process which leads to the mechanical fracture of particles and pulverization of electrodes.…”

Lithium Vanadium Oxide/Graphene Composite as a Promising Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries

“…With the rapid development of EVs, there is an increasing demand for EVs’ LIBs electrochemical performance. In general, the electrochemical performance of batteries is related to the electrode active materials’ intrinsic properties such as theoretical capacity, electrical conductivity, and volume change during cycling [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. At present, the commercial LIBs’ anode active material is graphite which is stable during cycling and low cost.…”
