The results of a physicochemical study of hollandite-type minerals synthesized by the citrate-nitrate sol-gel method in the K 2 O-M 2 O 3 -TiO 2 systems (M = Ga, Fe, Сr) and subjected to leaching in a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid are reported. The materials thus prepared are stable up to 400°С and decompose above this temperature. The experiments performed confi rm a decrease in the potassium content of these triple oxides upon such chemical treatment by 26-36% of the initial level, which makes these oxides promising for use as electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
