TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of carbon black specific surface area and morphology were investigated by characterizing four different carbon black additives and then evaluating the effect of adding them to the negative electrode of valve-regulated lead-acid batteries for electric bikes.

TL;DR: A novel and facile one-step process using template-directed chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to fabricate highly nitrogen doped three-dimensional (3D) N-Doped carbon nanotubes/N-doped graphene architecture (N-CNTs/ N-graphene) exhibits high graphitization, a regular 3D structure and excellent nitrogen doping and good mesoporosity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple pyrolysis of the N-rich melamine in the presence of graphene oxide (GO) as a substrate using a Mn-Ni-Co ternary catalyst is reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, the one-step water-assisted CVD growth of metal oxide nanosheets/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composites was reported, and a related growth mechanism was proposed to explain the growth of such novel nanocomposites.

TL;DR: The test results show that the low-temperature performance, charge acceptance, and large-current discharge performance of the batteries with graphene additives were significantly improved compared to the control battery, and the cycle life under 100% depth of discharge condition was extended by more than 52% from 250 to 380 cycles.
