Synthesis And Electrochemical Performance Of Mn3O4/Graphene Composites, Shan-Shan Yang, Qian Zhang, Xiong-Gui Lin, Ming-Sen Zheng, Quan-Feng Dong
Journal of Electrochemistry
The Mn3O4/Graphene composites were synthesized by hydrothermal method with the in-situ redox reaction of graphene oxide (GO) and manganese acetate (Mn(Ac)2). The phase structures and morphologies of the materials were characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM. The XPS and IR techniques were used for studying the residual function groups of reduced graphene oxide (RGO). The electrochemical performances of the hybrids were tested in a coin cell. Results showed that the composites prepared with the addition of ammonia water (RM-A) have better performance. The graphenes in RM-A were better-reduced and the Mn3O4 particles were much …

Synthesis Of Graphene Wrapped Li-Rich Layered Metal Oxide And Its Electrochemical Performance, Meng-Yan Hou, Ke Wang, Xiao-Li Dong, Yong-Yao Xia
Journal of Electrochemistry
In present work, lithium-rich layered transition metal oxide (LLO) was synthesized by a co-precipitation method in combination with a solid-state reaction. The graphene wrapped Li-rich layered oxide composite (LLO/Gra) was obtained by sintering the LLO/GO composite at 300 oC for 30 min in an air. The morphologies and the electrochemical performances were characterized by means of SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, EIS and charge/discharge tests. The results indicated that the LLOe particles were uniformly wrapped with graphene. The resulting material exhibited better rate capability than that of pristine LLO since the wrapped graphene demonstrated the enhanced electronic conductivity. Accordingly, the …

Nano And Nanostructured Materials For Optical Applications, Panit Chantharasupawong
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Nano and nanostructured materials offer unique physical and chemical properties that differ considerably from their bulk counterparts. For decades, due to their fascinating properties, they have been extensively explored and found to be beneficial in numerous applications. These materials are key components in many cutting-edge optic and photonic technologies, including photovoltaics, waveguides and sensors. In this dissertation, the uses of nano and nanostructured materials for optical applications are investigated in the context of optical limiting, three dimensional displays, and optical sensing. Nanomaterials with nonlinear optical responses are promising candidates for self-activating optical limiters. In the first part of this study, …
