Optimum Morphology of Mixed-Olivine Mesocrystals for a Li-Ion Battery.

In this present work, we report on the synthesis of micron-sized LiMnFePO (LMFP) mesocrystals via a solvothermal method with varying pH and precursor ratios. The morphologies of resultant LMFP secondary particles are classified into two major classes, flakes and ellipsoids, both of which are featured by the mesocrystalline aggregates where the primary particles constituting LMFP secondary particles are crystallographically aligned. Assessment of the battery performance reveals that the flake-shaped LMFP mesocrystals exhibit a specific capacity and rate capability superior to those of other mesocrystals.

Integration of CdSe/CdSexTe1-x Type-II Heterojunction Nanorods into Hierarchically Porous TiO2 Electrode for Efficient Solar Energy Conversion.

Semiconductor sensitized solar cells, a promising candidate for next-generation photovoltaics, have seen notable progress using 0-D quantum dots as light harvesting materials. Integration of higher-dimensional nanostructures and their multi-composition variants into sensitized solar cells is, however, still not fully investigated despite their unique features potentially beneficial for improving performance. Herein, CdSe/CdSe(x)Te(1-x) type-II heterojunction nanorods are utilized as novel light harvesters for sensitized solar cells for the first time.

Reduced graphene oxide/carbon double-coated 3-D porous ZnO aggregates as high-performance Li-ion anode materials.

The reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/carbon double-coated 3-D porous ZnO aggregates (RGO/C/ZnO) have been successfully synthesized as anode materials for Li-ion batteries with excellent cyclability and rate capability. The mesoporous ZnO aggregates prepared by a simple solvothermal method are sequentially modified through distinct carbon-based double coating. These novel architectures take unique advantages of mesopores acting as space to accommodate volume expansion during cycling, while the conformal carbon layer on each nanoparticle buffering volume changes, and conductive RGO sheets connect the aggregates to each other.
