The effect of NiO as graphitization catalyst on the structure and electrochemical performance of LiFePO4/C cathode materials

4‐Nitrophenol Reduction by a Single Platinum Palladium Nanocube Caged within a Nitrogen‐Doped Hollow Carbon Nanosphere

“…Such a 10 nm thick carbon shell with a porous structure and large surface area is beneficial for the transport of reacting and product molecules during catalysis. However, from the different phases of carbon displayed in Figure F and H, it could be speculated that the PtPd nanocubes can effectively increase the graphitization degree of carbon close to the PtPd alloy cubes, similar to the function of Fe, NiO, and WO 2 …”

LiMn0.8Fe0.2PO4/C Nanoparticles via Polystyrene Template Carburizing Enhance the Rate Capability and Capacity Reversibility of Cathode Materials

“…Uniform carbon coating helps ensure that electrons within the battery are evenly distributed and transmitted during charge and discharge processes, preventing localized charge imbalances and battery short circuit. A highly graphitized carbon layer typically exhibits good chemical stability, which helps to reduce material degradation and slow down battery aging rates . Additionally, it can enhance electronic conductivity and lithium-ion permeability, which aids in speeding up the reversible diffusion rate of lithium ions within the material, thereby improving the rate capability of the battery .…”

“…A highly graphitized carbon layer typically exhibits good chemical stability, which helps to reduce material degradation and slow down battery aging rates. 34 Additionally, it can enhance electronic conductivity and lithium-ion permeability, which aids in speeding up the reversible diffusion rate of lithium ions within the material, thereby improving the rate capability of the battery. 35 These characteristics are further validated in subsequent battery performance tests.…”
