Abstract Sodium vanadate have been widely used as a lithium-ion battery anode. However, its further application is restricted by the capacity attenuation during cycles because of its easy solubility in electrolyte, huge structural change, and low conductivity. Here, a lithium-ion battery electrode based on Cu-Cu2O coated Na5V12O32 nanowire arrays using a predischarge-electrodeposition method is freported. Remarkably, in the Cu-Cu2O@Na5V12O32 electrode, the Na5V12O32 nanowires function as the skeleton, and Cu-Cu2O nanoparticles function as the coating layer. At a specific current of 50 mA g-1, the composite electrode exhibits discharge and charge capacity of 837 and 821 mAh g-1 after 80 cycles, respectively, which is much higher than that of the Na5V12O32 nanowires electrode. This research provides a new pathway to explore electrode materials with enhanced electrochemical performance.

Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are one of the most promising secondary batteries due to their advantages including long cycle life, high energy density, limited self-discharge, high operating voltage and environmental friendliness. The development of electrode materials is crucial for the further application of LIBs. There are many effective ways to enhance the performance of positive electrode materials of LIBs such as surface coating, ion doping, preparation of composite materials and nanosized materials and so forth. Among them, surface coating is considered to be a promising way to improve the electrochemical performance of LIBs. Surface coating can normally form a physical barrier or a doped surface layer to play favorable roles for the electrode materials, such as hindering side reactions between positive electrode materials and the electrolyte. In this paper, different kinds of surface coating layers will be discussed according to previous research, including carbon materials, metal oxides, metal fluorides, metal phosphates, nonmetal oxides, electrode materials coating layer, hybrid coating layer, polymer and so forth. In addition, the mechanism of these coating materials will be summarized, and the future development will be discussed in this paper.

Cracking at the fold is a quality defect sometimes observed in coated paper and board. Although tensile and compressive stresses occur during folding, test methods to measure the compressive strength of a coating have not been available. Our objective was to develop a method to measure the compressive strength of a coating layer and to investigate how different mineral coatings behave under compression. We used the short-span compressive strength test (SCT) to measure the in-plane compressive strength of a free coating layer. Unsupported free coating films were prepared for the measurements. Results indicate that the SCT method was suitable for measuring the in-plane compressive strength of a coating layer. Coating color formulations containing different kaolin and calcium carbonate minerals were used to study the effect of pigment particles’ shape on the compressive and tensile strengths of coatings. Latices having two different glass transition temperatures were used. Results showed that pigment particle shape influenced the strength of a coating layer. Platy clay gave better strength than spherical or needle-shaped carbonate pigments. Compressive and tensile strength decreased as a function of the amount of calcium carbonate in the coating color, particularly with precipitated calcium carbonate. We also assessed the influence of styrene-butadiene binder on the compressive strength of the coating layer, which increased with the binder level. The compressive strength of the coating layer was about three times the tensile strength.

In paper electrode materials with palladium nanoparticles on polymer matrix substrates for energy sources have been formed. Nanocomposites were investigated by atomic force and scanning electron microscopy. The catalytic activity of formed electrodes in the formic acid oxidation reaction was evaluated by voltammetry method.
