TL;DR: Two widely studied nano-Fe0 preparations are characterized: one synthesized by reduction of goethite with heat and H2 and the other by reductive precipitation with borohydride, which exhibit corrosion potentials that are more negative than nano-sized Fe2O3, Fe3O4, micro-sizedFe0, or a solid Fe0 disk.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The observation of structure transition characteristics discussed in this paper provides direct explanation for the observed gradual capacity loss and poor rate performance of the layered composite and provides clues about how to improve the materials structure in order to improve electrochemical performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ TEM study of lithiation behavior of silicon nanoparticles attached to and embedded in a carbon matrix.
Meng Gu,Ying Li,Xiaolin Li,Shenyang Y. Hu,Xiangwu Zhang,Wu Xu,Suntharampillai Thevuthasan,Donald R. Baer,Ji-Guang Zhang,Juan Liu,Chong M. Wang +10 more
TL;DR: Observed lithiation behavior of silicon nanoparticles attached to and embedded in a carbon nanofiber using in situ TEM and continuum mechanical calculation provides insights on lithium ion transport in the network-structured composite of silicon and carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auger parameter measurements of zinc compounds relevant to zinc transport in the environment
TL;DR: In this article, a self-consistent data base for Zn compounds of environmental and geochemical importance has been established, where the data has been related to previously reported values using Wagner chemical-state (modified Auger parameter) plots.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy Observation of Microstructure and Phase Evolution in a SnO2 Nanowire during Lithium Intercalation
Chong M. Wang,Wu Xu,Jun Liu,Ji-Guang Zhang,Laxmikant V. Saraf,Bruce W. Arey,Daiwon Choi,Zhenguo Yang,Jie Xiao,Suntharampillai Thevuthasan,Donald R. Baer +10 more
TL;DR: This Letter documents the structural characteristics of SnO(2) upon initial charging based on a battery assembled with a single nanowire anode, which is fully soaked into an ionic liquid based electrolyte using in situ transmission electron microscopy.
