Nano-Sized Cobalt-Based Oxides As Negative Electrode For Lithium-Ion Batteries, Feng Huang, Zheng-Yong Yuan, Yun-Hong Zhou, Ju-Tang Sun

Journal of Electrochemistry

Nanosized cobalt-based oxide (Co 3O 4, CoB 1.36 O 2.8 and CoB 0.5 Al 0.1 O 1.5 ) samples were prepared by rheological phase method and were tested as anodes in secondary lithium batteries. The cells were cycled between 0.01V and 3.00 V. The best electrochemical performance was obtained from the Li/Co 3O 4 cell, which retained 95% of its initial capacity (931 mAh/g) after 30 cycles. The doping of B, Al reduced the reversible capacity during the first discharge/charge cycle, and the quantity of reversible capacity reduced with B, A1 increasing. The modifying structures at difference charge and discharge …

Syntheses And Photoluminescence Of Zinc Oxide Polyaniline Coaxial Nanowires And Their Array, Zhi-Xin Zheng, Yan-Yan Xi, Ping Dong, Huai-Guo Huang, Jian-Zhang Zhou, Lin-Lin Wu, Zhong-Hua Lin

Journal of Electrochemistry

A novel nanomaterial,zinc oxide (ZnO) and polyaniline (PANI) coaxial nanowires and their array in the template,was synthesized using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane as template.The morphology of these coaxial nanowires was observed with transmission electron microscope (TEM).The experiments on photoluminescence (PL) of coaxial nanowires and their array in AAO membrane show that the visible emission band of ZnO shifts from 530 nm to 400 nm and the luminescence is enhanced for the coaxial nanowires array in AAO membrane,and the visible emission band shifts to a lower wavelergth(385 nm) for coatial nanowires in NaOH solution. Possible explanations for these two blue …


Diagnostic Of Critical Circuits Of Kraft Pulp Production Process Considering The Environmental Aspects, João F. Gomes Jan 2002

Diagnostic Of Critical Circuits Of Kraft Pulp Production Process Considering The Environmental Aspects, João F. Gomes

João F Gomes

This paper describes systematic work done in the field of atmospheric emissions from Portuguese Kraft pulp mills. This study led to the determination of emission factors from stationary sources that proved to be an important tool to assess the need for investment on air pollution abatement equipment, namely in what concerns mal-odorous gases.
