Abstract
In this work, silver nanoparticles decorated on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) wrapped manganese oxide nanorods (Ag-rGO@MnO2) were synthesized for an active electrode material. MnO2 nanorods were synthesized via a hydrothermal route, and their coating with GO and subsequent reduction at a higher temperature resulted in rGO@MnO2. A further addition of Ag on rGO@MnO2 was performed by dispersing rGO@MnO2 in AgNO3 solution and its subsequent reduction by NaBH4. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed peaks corresponding to MnO2 and Ag, and the absence of a peak at 2θ = 26° confirmed a few layered coatings of rGO and the absence of any graphitic impurities. Morphological analysis showed Ag nanoparticles anchored on rGO coated MnO2 nanorods. Apart from this, all other characterization techniques also confirmed the successful fabrication of Ag-rGO@MnO2. The electrochemical performance examined by cyclic voltammetry and the galvanic charge–discharge technique showed that Ag-rGO@MnO2 has a superior capacitive value (675 Fg−1) as compared to the specific capacitance value of rGO@MnO2 (306.25 Fg−1) and MnO2 (293.75 Fg−1). Furthermore, the electrode based on Ag-rGO@MnO2 nanocomposite showed an excellent capacity retention of 95% after 3000 cycles. The above results showed that Ag-rGO@MnO2 nanocomposites can be considered an active electrode material for future applications in electrochemical devices.

Review of ZnO Binary and Ternary Composite Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11082001. [PMID: 34443833 PMCID: PMC8399641 DOI: 10.3390/nano11082001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Revised: 07/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/01/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
To enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries, zinc oxide (ZnO) has generated interest as an anode candidate owing to its high theoretical capacity. However, because of its limitations such as its slow chemical reaction kinetics, intense capacity fading on potential cycling, and low rate capability, composite anodes of ZnO and other materials are manufactured. In this study, we introduce binary and ternary composites of ZnO with other metal oxides (MOs) and carbon-based materials. Most ZnO-based composite anodes exhibit a higher specific capacity, rate performance, and cycling stability than a single ZnO anode. The synergistic effects between ZnO and the other MOs or carbon-based materials can explain the superior electrochemical characteristics of these ZnO-based composites. This review also discusses some of their current limitations.

Abstract
Fast charge/discharge cycles are necessary for supercapacitors applied in vehicles including, buses, cars and elevators. Nanocomposites of graphene oxide with lanthanide oxides show better supercapacitive performance in comparison to any of them alone. Herein, Eu2O3 nanorods (EuNRs) were prepared through the hydrothermal method and anchored onto the surface of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) by utilizing a sonochemical procedure (in an ultrasonic bath) through a self-assembly methodology. The morphologies of EuNRs and EuNR-RGO were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and IR spectroscopy. Then, we used EuNRs and EuNR-RGO as electrode materials to investigate their supercapacitive behavior using cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. In a 3.0 M KCl electrolyte and with a scan rate of 2 mV s−1, EuNR-RGO exhibited a specific capacity of 403 F g−1. Galvanostatic charge–discharge experiments demonstrated a specific capacity of 345.9 F g−1 at a current density of 2 A g−1. The synergy between RGO's flexibility and EuNR's high charge mobility caused these noticeable properties. Fast charge/discharge cycles are necessary for supercapacitors applied in vehicles including, buses, cars and elevators.![]()

Abstract
With the serious impact of fossil fuels on the environment and the rapid development of the global economy, the development of clean and usable energy storage devices has become one of the most important themes of sustainable development in the world today. Supercapacitors are a new type of green energy storage device, with high power density, long cycle life, wide temperature range, and both economic and environmental advantages. In many industries, they have enormous application prospects. Electrode materials are an important factor affecting the performance of supercapacitors. MnO2 -based materials are widely investigated for supercapacitors because of their high theoretical capacitance, good chemical stability, low cost, and environmental friendliness. To achieve high specific capacitance and high rate capability, the current best solution is to use MnO2 and carbon composite materials. Herein, MnO2 -carbon composite as supercapacitor electrode materials is reviewed including the synthesis method and research status in recent years. Finally, the challenges and future development directions of an MnO2 -carbon based supercapacitor are summarized.

Abstract
A zinc oxide (ZnO)/expanded graphite (EG) composite was successfully synthesized by using atomic layer deposition with dimethyl zinc as the zinc source and deionized water as the oxidant source. In the composite structure, EG provides a conductive channel and mechanical support to ZnO nanomembranes, which effectively avoids the electrode pulverization caused by the volume change of ZnO. The anodes made from the flexible composite films without using binder, conductive agent, and current collector show high stable capacities especially for that with a moderate ZnO concentration. The highest capacity stayed at 438 mAh g-1 at a current rate of 200 mA g-1 after 500 cycles. The good performance is considered to be due to the co-effects of the high capacity of ZnO and the support of the EG framework. Such composite structures may have great potential in low-cost and flexible batteries.
