Visible light-driven g-C₃N₄/m-Ag₂Mo₂O₇composite photocatalysts: synthesis, enhanced activity and photocatalytic mechanism

Microporous carbon aerogel prepared through ambient pressure drying route as anode material for lithium ion cells

“…[1] Carbon/graphite is the most commonly employed anode material in Li-ion cells because of low cost, low Li + ion intercalation potential and satisfactory cycle life. [2] Materials such as Si, Sn and transition metal oxides have attracted attention in recent times due to their high specific capacity. However, these materials suffer from volumetric expansion during cycling which limits their cyclability.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] In addition, CAs exhibit attractive physicochemical properties including low density, well-defined and controlled pore structure/geometry, large surface area, mechanical strength and high electrical conductivity, which make them promising candidate for energy applications. [2,[13][14][15][16] Tuning of various characteristics of CA is achievable through suitable modification of process conditions, which are precursor composition, type of catalysts and their concentrations, drying procedures and the pyrolysis conditions.…”

“…There are only a few reported works on the use of CA for lithium ion cells. Carbon aerogels derived from bacterial cellulose [2] and starch [13] have been evaluated as anode material in lithium ion cells. Composite of CA and Fe 2 O 3 [17] is reported to show better performance than CA and Fe 2 O 3 alone when evaluated as anode in lithium ion cells.…”

Polymeric materials for lithium‐ion cells

“…[69] Carbon aerogels are another class of carbon materials derived from polymeric precursors. Carbon aerogels derived from resorcinol formaldehyde resin, [70] bacterial cellulose, [71] and starch [72] have been evaluated as anode material in Li-ion cells.…”

A facile fabrication of plasmonic g-C 3 N 4 /Ag 2 WO 4 /Ag ternary heterojunction visible-light photocatalyst

“…Recently, the incorporation of Ag þ ions into metal/non-metal oxides constructing Ag-based composite oxide photocatalysts, such as Ag 3 PO 4 [55], Ag 2 Ta 4 O 11 [56], Ag 2 CO 3 [57], Ag 2 Mo 2 O 7 [58], Ag 2 Nb 4 O 11 [59], Ag 3 VO 4 [60], have been proved to be an effective strategy for adjusting band structure and position of the semiconductor to improve photocatalytic activity. It mainly benefits from the uniquely filled d10 electronic configurations of Ag þ ions taking part in composition and hybridization of the energy band in the majority of Ag-based compounds [61,62].…”
