Iron and nickel doped CoSe2 were prepared by solvothermal method, and they were proved to be ternary chalcogenides by series of physical characterization. The effects of the iron and nickel contents on the oxygen reduction reaction were investigated by electrochemical measurements, and the highest activities were obtained on Co0.7Fe0.3Se2 and Co0.7Ni0.3Se2, respectively. Both Co0.7Fe0.3Se2 and Co0.7Ni0.3Se2 presented four-electron pathway. Furthermore, Co0.7Fe0.3Se2 exhibited more positive cathodic peak potential (0.564 V) and onset potential (0.759 V) than these of Co0.7Ni0.3Se2 (0.558 V and 0.741 V). And Co0.7Fe0.3Se2 displayed even superior stability and better tolerance to methanol, ethanol and ethylene glycol crossover effects …

A direct regeneration of cathode materials from spent LiFePO4 batteries using a solid phase sintering method has been proposed in this article. The spent battery is firstly dismantled to separate the cathode and anode plate, and then the cathode plate is soaked in DMAC organic solvent to separate the cathode materials and Al foil at optimal conditions of 30 min at 30 °C and solid liquid ratio of 1[thin space (1/6-em)]:[thin space (1/6-em)]20 g ml−1. XRD and SEM results of the spent LiFePO4 after separation show that there are some impurity phase components and irregular morphologies with many agglomerations. The …
