Green molten salt modification of cobalt oxide for lithium ion battery anode application

Resourcelized conversion of livestock manure to porous cage microsphere for eliminating emerging contaminants under peroxymonosulfate trigger

“…The D-band and G-band of CCM-CMSs were slightly shifted compared to CM, and the I D /I G ratio of CCM-CMSs was smaller than CM, which indicated that the addition of Co atoms led to the formation of more defects on the surface of the catalyst and the formation of a higher number of active sites, 44 facilitating the activity for ECs degradation. Moreover, the characteristic peak of the oxide of Co (CoO/Co 3 O 4 ) can be detected near 657 cm −1 in the Raman spectra of the oxide of Co. 46 In contrast, the characteristic peak of Co oxide in CCM-CMSs is significantly shifted to near 670 cm −1 , which is caused by the interaction of Co-O bond with graphene-like carbon to form a Co- O -C bond bridge in CCM-CMSs. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of CCM-CMSs is shown in Figure 3 F. The most distinct diffraction peak corresponding to the (104) crystal plane of CaCO 3 (PDF#85–1108) is observed at 29.5°.…”
