TL;DR: Hollow carbon nanowires prepared through pyrolyzation of a hollow polyaniline nanowire precursor deliver high reversible capacity and excellent cycling stability and the good Na-ion insertion property is attributed to the short diffusion distance in the HCNWs and the large interlayer distance.

TL;DR: A novel vulcanized polyaniline nanotube/sulfur composite was prepared successfully via an in situ vulcanization process by heating a mixture of polyAniline Nanotube and sulfur at 280 °C.

TL;DR: In this article, the status and challenges of large-scale electrical energy storage have been reviewed from the perspective of materials science and materials chemistry in electrochemical energy storage technologies, such as Li-ion batteries, sodium (sulfur and metal halide) batteries, Pb-acid battery, redox flow batteries, and supercapacitors.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the underlying basic scientific issues associated with membrane use in VRFBs and presents an overview of membrane-related research approaches aimed at improving the efficiency of VRFB's and making the technology cost-competitive.

TL;DR: In this article, mesoporous carbon with tunable pore sizes and pore volumes was used as a composite electrode for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, achieving an initial capacity of ∼1390 mA h g−1 (based on sulfur).
