Nanofiber-based Sm0.5Sr0.5Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ/N-MWCNT composites as an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst towards OER/ORR

Electrospinning-derived transition metal/carbon nanofiber composites as electrocatalysts for Zn-air batteries

“…Coreshell configurations play a pivotal role in anchoring active sites, providing protective measures, and enhancing the corrosion resistance of catalysts. 43,67,68 The direct separation capability of coaxial electrospinning technology between metal ion and polymer solutions offers a straightforward approach for fabricating core-shell-structured TM/CNFs. Furthermore, this method circumvents solution gelation resulting from the interaction between metal ions and polymers.…”

Growth, Characterization, and Application of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes Using the RF-Magnetron Sputtering Method

“…CNTs are typically made up of hexagonal atomic layers of graphene rolled into a hollow cylindrical shape, while multiple tubes with slightly different diameters inserted into each other form multiwalled CNTs (MWCNTs). − The size and chirality of CNTs are largely determined by the type of the growing technology and its peculiarities, which in turn plays a decisive role in the acquisition of various types of nanotubes, such as metallic, semimetallic, or semiconducting properties. , The grown nanostructured material does not always contain the intended target structure in its entirety. In particular, nanorods, nanowires, and certain amorphous structures sometimes appear together with the grown CNTs.…”

Designing N-doped graphene-like supported highly dispersed bimetallic NiCoP NPs as an efficient electrocatalyst for water oxidation

“…25,26 Finally, a reasonable morphology design (such as irregular folds, a porous structure, and ultra-thin sheets) with as large an electrochemical surface area as possible can expose its active sites, which is also a method to further promote OER electrocatalysts. 28 Liu 29 et al prepared layered NiFe-LDH by a two-step method. Because of the good morphology of the composite, NiFe-LDH has excellent OER properties.…”
