Amorphous carbon-coated nickel oxide nanofibers (NiC NFs) were fabricated by vapor deposition polymerization and carbonization. The NiC NFs showed a higher electrochemical property and a longer cycling performance than pristine NiO NFs.

Ti3C2Tx and Ti3C2Tx-NiO composites with three-dimensional (3D) porous networks were successfully fabricated via vacuum freeze-drying. The microstructure, absorption, and electrochemical properties of the developed composites were investigated. Nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles could be evenly distributed on the three-dimensional network of three-dimensional Ti3C2Tx using solution processing. When employed as electrochemical capacitor electrodes in 1 M environmentally friendly sodium sulfate, Na2SO4, solution, the three-dimensional porous Ti3C2Tx-NiO composite electrodes exhibited considerable volume specific capacitance as compared to three-dimensional porous Ti3C2Tx. The three-dimensional porous Ti3C2Tx-NiO composite delivered a remarkable cycling performance with a capacitance retention of up to 114% over 2500 cycles. The growth trend of the capacitance with NiO content shows that nickel oxide plays a crucial role in the composite electrodes. These results present a roadmap for the development of convenient and economical supercapacitors in consideration with the possibilities of morphological control and the extensibility of the process.

AbstractCarbon coated nanoparticles were synthesized by laser-assisted (ArF excimer laser, λ = 193 nm) chemical vapor deposition (LCVD). The particles were formed in the gas-phase by photolytic dissociation of cobaltocene in argon and the particles were deposited onto a silicon substrate. The particles were deposited at two different laser fluencies, 70 and 300 mJ/cm2.Single crystalline spherical cobalt particles with a well-defined carbon shell were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for the highest fluence, 300 mJ/cm2. The metallic nucleus phase were identified as either β-Co or Co3O4. Polycrystalline particles were deposited at 70 mJ/cm2, these particles contained α-Co, β-Co, CoO and Co3O4. The particles deposited at 300 mJ/cm2 were log-normally distributed and the total diameter had a mean geometric size of 25 nm while the nuclei had a mean diameter of 10 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements showed that the particles had a carbon content roughly ten times the amount of cobalt. Sputtering showed that both cobalt oxide and metallic cobalt was present. HRTEM micrographs of the particles revealed that only one phase was present in the whole nucleus, proving the nuclei were either oxide or metallic. Raman spectroscopy showed that that the carbon shell contained mostly amorphous carbon. Small domains of carbon of more graphitic character was embedded in the amorphous carbon shell in the 300 mJ/cm2 sample.

Nitrogen incorporated hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:N:H) thin films have been deposited by microwave surface-wave plasma chemical vapor deposition on silicon and quartz substrates, using helium, methane and nitrogen ( N 2) as plasma source. The deposited a-C:N:H films were characterized by their optical, structural and electrical properties through UV/VIS/NIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscope and current-voltage characteristics. The optical band gap decreased gently from 3.0 eV to 2.5 eV with increasing N 2 concentration in the films. The a-C:N:H film shows significantly higher electrical conductivity compared to that of N 2-free a-C:H film.

Large-scale flat Fe3O4 nanosheets coated by an amorphous carbon overlayer (denoted as Fe3O4@C NSs) was prepared via a simple one-pot solution method. When evaluated as an electrode for LIBs, the as-prepared Fe3O4@C NSs hybrids exhibit highly enhanced lithium storage properties.
