TL;DR: In this article, a simple one-step route using gas template method is applied to synthesize macroporous LiNi 0.5 Mn 0.2, which is characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Telle (BET) surface area, charge-discharge tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements.

TL;DR: In this article, a mesoporous carbon material with hierarchical foam-like pore structures was synthesized by a dual-templating strategy using phenolic resol as a carbon source, Pluronic F127 and spherical silica mesocellular foams (Si-MCFs) as the soft and hard template, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple approach is proposed to prepare C-SiO2 composites as anode materials for lithium ion batteries, where nano-sized silica is soaked in sucrose solution and then heat treated at 900°C under nitrogen atmosphere.

TL;DR: This preparation of MnO2 nanotubes functionalized with Co3O4 nanoparticles and their use as bifunctional air cathode catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction in rechargeable zinc-air batteries exhibit enhanced catalytic reactivity toward oxygen evolution Reaction under alkaline conditions.

TL;DR: Li-rich cathode material Li 1.2 Mn 0.54 Ni 0.13 O 2 is prepared by a sol-gel method and coated with CaF 2 layer via a wet chemical process as discussed by the authors.
