Back Cover: Peapod-Like Composite with Nickel Phosphide Nanoparticles Encapsulated in Carbon Fibers as Enhanced Anode for Li-Ion Batteries (ChemSusChem 7/2014)
Uniform carbon fibers evolved from bamboo chopsticks garbage are achieved by a facile hydrothermal method, exhibiting competitive electrochemical behavior with commercial graphite, or pretty high anodic performance after being optimized.
Flexible and freestanding MoO2/Mo2C ICFs have been synthesized via an integrated procedure. The MoO2/Mo2C ICFs derived from phosphomolybdic acid presented more highly porous structures than those derived from molybdic acid, resulting in an enhanced energy storage performance for lithium ion batteries.
