Abstract
Mn3O4 powders with nanometer size are successfully synthesized by a simple one-step method via flame spray pyrolysis. The precursor droplet is generated by heating under high temperature flame with fixed flow rate, and the exothermic reaction is induced to form nanosized Mn3O4 powders. When used as anode material for lithium-ion battery, the Mn3O4 exhibits good cycling capacity and rate performance. It delivers a specific capacity of 1,182 mA h g−1 over 110 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g−1, and has a high capacity of 140 mA h g−1 at 5,000 mA g−1.

Abstract
Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries have been widely applied to portable electronic devices and hybrid vehicles. In order to further enhance performance, the search for advanced anode materials to meet the growing demand for high-performance Li-ion batteries is significant. Fe3C as an anode material can contribute more capacity than its theoretical one due to the pseudocapacity on the interface. However, the traditional synthetic methods need harsh conditions, such as high temperature and hazardous and expensive chemical precursors. In this study, a graphitic carbon encapsulated Fe/Fe3C (denoted as Fe/Fe3C@GC) composite was synthesized as an anode active material for high-performance lithium ion batteries by a simple and cost-effective approach through co-pyrolysis of biomass and iron precursor. The graphitic carbon shell formed by the carbonization of sawdust can improve the electrical conductivity and accommodate volume expansion during discharging. The porous microstructure of the shell can also provide increased active sites for the redox reactions. The in-situ-formed Fe/Fe3C nanoparticles show pseudocapacitive behavior that increases the capacity. The composite exhibits a high reversible capacity and excellent rate performance. The composite delivered a high initial discharge capacity of 1027 mAh g−1 at 45 mA g−1 and maintained a reversible capacity of 302 mAh g−1 at 200 mA g−1 after 200 cycles. Even at the high current density of 5000 mA g−1, the Fe/Fe3C@GC cell also shows a stable cycling performance. Therefore, Fe/Fe3C@GC composite is considered as one of the potential anode materials for lithium ion batteries.

Abstract
It is well known that transition metal oxides (TMOs) have attracted extensive attention as promising anodes for next-generation lithium ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their low cost and high theoretical capacities. However, the huge volume changes upon lithiation/delithiation cycling gradually cause drastic particle pulverization in the electrodes, thus leading to fast capacity fading and limiting their practical applications. High-entropy oxides with enhanced electronic conductivity and multiple electrochemically active elements display stepwise lithium storage behaviors, thus efficiently alleviating the volume change induced electrode pulverization problem. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new kind of spinel (Mg0.2Ti0.2Zn0.2Cu0.2Fe0.2)3O4 material via a facile one-step solid state reaction method and subsequent high-energy ball-milling. When used as anodes for LIBs, the submicrometer-sized (Mg0.2Ti0.2Zn0.2Cu0.2Fe0.2)3O4 particles exhibit superior lithium storage properties, delivering a large reversible capacity of 504 mA h g−1 at a current density of 100 mA g−1 after 300 cycles, and notably an exceptional rate capacity of 272 mA h g−1 at 2000 mA g−1. Our work highlights that rational design of high-entropy oxides with different electrochemically active elements and novel structures might be a useful strategy for exploring high-performance LIB anode materials in next-generation energy storage devices. Here we present novel (Mg0.2Ti0.2Zn0.2Cu0.2Fe0.2)3O4 materials prepared via one-step solid state reaction method and subsequently high-energy ball-milling. When used as anodes for LIBs, it exhibits superior lithium storage properties.![]()

Abstract
The hybridisation of Co3O4 and Fe2O3 nanoparticles dispersed in a super P carbon matrix is proposed as a favourable approach to improve the electrochemical performance (reversible capacity, cycling stability and rate capability) of the metal oxide electrodes in metal-ion batteries. Hybrid Co3O4-Fe2O3/C is prepared by a simple, cheap and easily scalable molten salt method combined with ball-milling and used in sodium-ion and potassium-ion batteries for the first time. The electrode exhibits excellent cycling stability and superior rate capability in sodium-ion cells with a capacity recovery of 440 mA h g-1 (93% retention) after 180 long-term cycles at 50-1000 mA g-1 and back to 50 mA g-1. In contrast, Co3O4-Fe2O3, Co3O4 and Fe2O3 electrodes display unsatisfactory electrochemical performance. The hybrid Co3O4-Fe2O3/C is also reactive with potassium and capable of delivering a reversible capacity of 220 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1 which is comparable with the most reported anode materials for potassium-ion batteries. The obtained results broaden the range of transition metal oxide-based hybrids as potential anodes for K-ion and Na-ion batteries, and suggest that further studies of these materials with potassium and sodium are worthwhile.

Abstract
The copper oxide (CuO) nanowires/functionalized graphene (f-graphene) composite material was successfully composed by a one-pot synthesis method. The f-graphene synthesized through the Birch reduction chemistry method was modified with functional group “–(CH2)5COOH”, and the CuO nanowires (NWs) were well dispersed in the f-graphene sheets. When used as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries, the composite exhibited good cyclic stability and decent specific capacity of 677 mA·h·g−1 after 50 cycles. CuO NWs can enhance the lithium-ion storage of the composites while the f-graphene effectively resists the volume expansion of the CuO NWs during the galvanostatic charge/discharge cyclic process, and provide a conductive paths for charge transportation. The good electrochemical performance of the synthesized CuO/f-graphene composite suggests great potential of the composite materials for lithium-ion batteries anodes.

Abstract
Alloy anodes have shown great potential for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, these applications are still limited by inherent huge volume changes and sluggish kinetics. To overcome such limitations, graphene-protected 3D Sb-based anodes grown on conductive substrate are designed and fabricated by a facile electrostatic-assembling and subsequent confinement replacement strategy. As binder-free anodes for LIBs, the obtained electrode exhibits reversible capacities of 442 mAh g(-1) at 100 mA g(-1) and 295 mAh g(-1) at 1000 mA g(-1), and a capacity retention of above 90% (based on the 10th cycle) after 200 cycles at 500 mA g(-1). As for sodium storage properties, the reversible capacities of 517 mAh g(-1) at 50 mA g(-1) and 315 mAh g(-1) at 1000 mA g(-1), the capacity retention of 305 mAh g(-1) after 100 cycles at 300 mA g(-1) are obtained, respectively. Furthermore, the 3D architecture retains good structural integrity after cycling, confirming that the introduction of high-stretchy and robust graphene layers can effectively buffer alloying anodes, and simultaneously provide sustainable contact and protection of the active materials. Such findings show its great potential as superior binder-free anodes for LIBs and SIBs.

Abstract
To overcome the limitations of conventional techniques that employ high-temperature calcinations to prepare nanosized anatase titania (TiO2), and thus find effective methods for low-temperature methods to synthesise nanosized TiO2 with high catalytic activity, has been one of the most challenging aspects in the photocatalyst field. In this article, the recent progress in low-temperature synthesis of nanosized anatase TiO2 is reviewed. The advances in this field are discussed in the light of the progress in the development of suitable synthetic methods. Particular emphasis is placed on the special conditions and demands to prepare uniform and stable anatase nanostructures at low temperature. The principles, reactions, synthesising procedures as well as the advantages and disadvantages of reported methods are presented. Furthermore, to overcome the intrinsic shortcomings of pure nanosized TiO2 as photocatalyst, that is, the rather low quantum efficiency and the incapability of utilising visible light, this review is also extended to the technologies of preparing TiO2 composites such as ion-doping, rare metal deposit and composite semiconductors. Finally the developing trends and the potential focus of future research in this field are prospected.

Abstract
In this study, novel core-shell ellipsoidal MnCo2O4 powders with desired micro/nano-structure and a unique concentration gradient have been synthesized as anode material for Li-ion batteries. The special porous ellipsoid (2.5-4.5 μm in the long axis, 1.5-2.5 μm in the short axis, 200-300 nm in the thickness of shell) is built up by irregular nanoparticles attached to each other, and corresponding to the ellipsoid with concentration gradient, the Co/Mn atomic ratios of core and shell are about 1.76:1 and 2.34:1, respectively. The good performance, including high initial discharge capacities (1433.3 mAhg(-1) at 0.1 Ag(-1) and 1248.4 mAhg(-1) at 0.4 Ag(-1)), advanced capacity retention (∼900.0 mAhg(-1) after 60 cycles at 0.1 Ag(-1)), and fair rate performance (∼620.0 mAhg(-1) after 50 cycles at 0.4 Ag(-1)) has been measured by the battery test. Remarkably, the ellipsoidal shape and core-shell microstructure with concentration gradient are still maintained after 70 cycles of charge/discharge at 0.1 Ag(-1).

Abstract
Multicomponent spinel metal-oxide assembled mesoporous microspheres, promising anode materials for Li-ion batteries with superior electrochemical performance, are usually obtained using different kinds of precursors followed by high-temperature post-treatments. Nevertheless, high-temperature calcinations often cause primary particles to aggregate and coarsen, which may damage the assembled microsphere architectures, leading to deterioration of electrochemical performance. In this work, binary spinel metal-oxide assembled mesoporous microspheres MnCo2O4 were fabricated by one-step low-temperature solvothermal method through handily utilizing the redox reaction of nitrate and ethanol. This preparation method is calcination-free, and the resulting MnCo2O4 microspheres were surprisingly assembled by nanoparticles and nanosheets. Two kinds of MnCo2O4 crystal nucleus with different exposed facet of (1̅10) and (11̅2̅) could be responsible for the formation of particle-assembled and sheet-assembled microspheres, respectively. Profiting from the self-assembly structure with mesoporous features, MnCo2O4 microspheres delivered a high reversible capacity up to 722 mAh/g after 25 cycles at a current density of 200 mA/g and capacities up to 553 and 320 mAh/g after 200 cycles at a higher current density of 400 and 900 mA/g, respectively. Even at an extremely high current density of 2700 mA/g, the electrode still delivered a capacity of 403 mAh/g after cycling with the stepwise increase of current densities. The preparation method reported herein may provide hints for obtaining various advanced multicomponent spinel metal-oxide assembled microspheres such as CoMn2O4, ZnMn2O4, ZnCo2O4, and so on, for high-performance energy storage and conversion devices.

Maghemite nanoparticles on electrospun CNFs template as prospective lithium-ion battery anode. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2014; 6:1951-1958.

Abstract
In this work, maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles were uniformly coated on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) by a hybrid synthesis procedure combining an electrospinning technique and hydrothermal method. Polyacrylonitrile nanofibers fabricated by the electrospinning technique serve as a robust support for iron oxide precursors during the hydrothermal process and successfully limit the aggregation of nanoparticles at the following carbonization step. The best materials were optimized under a carbonization condition of 600 °C for 12 h. X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy studies confirm the formation of a maghemite structure standing on the surface of CNFs. The average size of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles is below 100 nm, whereas CNFs are ∼150 nm in diameter. In comparison with aggregated bare iron oxide nanoparticles, the as-prepared carbon-maghemite nanofibers exhibit a higher surface area and greatly improved electrochemical performance (>830 mAh g(-1) at 50 mA g(-1) for 40 cycles and high rate capacity up to 5 A g(-1) in the voltage range of 0.005-3 V vs Li). The greatly enhanced electrochemical performance is attributed to the unique one-dimensional nanostructure and the limited aggregation of nanoparticles.

Abstract
The compounds, CoN, CoO, and Co3O4 were prepared in the form of nano-rod/particles and we investigated the Li-cycling properties, and their use as an anode material. The urea combustion method, nitridation, and carbothermal reduction methods were adopted to prepare Co3O4, CoN, and CoO, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface and density methods were used to characterise the materials. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was performed and galvanostatic cycling tests were also conducted up to 60-70 cycles. The observed reversible capacity of all compounds is of the increasing order CoO, Co3O4, CoN and all compounds showed negligible capacity fading. CoO allows for Li2O and Co metal to form during the discharge cycle, allowing for a high theoretical capacity of 715 mA h g(-1). Co3O4 allows for 4 Li2O and 3Co to form, and has a theoretical capacity of 890 mAhg(-1). CoN is the best anode material of the three because the nitrogen allows for Li3N and Co to form, resulting in an even higher theoretical capacity of 1100 mAhg(-1) due to the Li3N and Co metal formation. Irrespective of morphology the charge profiles of all three compounds showed a major plateaux ~2.0 V vs. Li and potential values are almost unchanged irrespective of crystal structure. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was performed to understand variation resistance and capacitance values.
