Microstructure and electrochemical properties of the Co–BN composites

Co2P: A facile solid state synthesis and its applications in alkaline rechargeable batteries

“…6. The pair of remarkable reduction-oxidation peaks appears at about −1.00 V and −0.70 V, respectively, similar to the potential plateaus of S-Co(OH) 2 and Co-BN materials reported by Wang [27] and Gao [28] group. As shown in Fig.…”

Preparation and electrochemical properties of Co–Si3N4 nanocomposites

“…The binding energies of both N 1s and Si 2p almost remain the same value before and after Ar + sputtering, indicating the high-chemical stability of silica nitrides during the ball-milling process. The amorphous Si 3 N 4 particles act only as the inactive matrix to support the highly dispersed active Co nanoparticles in the Co-Si 3 N 4 composites, similar to the Co-BN composites [21].…”

Structure and electrochemical properties of ball-milled Co-carbon nanotube composites as negative electrode material of alkaline rechargeable batteries

“…Nowadays, extensive research has been focused on cobalt based alloys as negative materials for alkaline rechargeable batteries, such as Co-B, Co-P, Co-Si, Co-BN, Co-Si 3 N 4 [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and so on, which are demonstrated to have a good electrochemical reversibility and high charge-discharge capacities. In these reports, through ball-milling or chemical methods, little Co particles with good reaction activity distribute well among non-metallic matrix.…”
