TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of carbon aerogel were characterized by infrared spectrometer (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

TL;DR: In this paper, anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates with uniform pore diameter and periodicity were fabricated using a two-step oxidizating method at a constant current of 1.5mm −2 in a mixed solution of 0.5m sulfate acid and 5mm oxalic acid at room temperature, porewidening was done in 5mm% phosphoric acid.

TL;DR: In this paper, 304 stainless steel was coated electrochemically with the conducting polymers polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole (PPY), which showed improved corrosion resistance with acceptable contact resistance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of Cr doping on performances of the cathode materials were analyzed in terms of the crystal structure, charge-discharge curves and cycle performances, and the results showed that the as-prepared Cr-doped materials have a better cycle stability than the un-doping one, an initial reversible capacity of 83.3 mg −1 can be obtained, and a first charge discharge efficiency is about 90.3% in the 20th cycles.

TL;DR: In this article, a nickel hydroxide/activated carbon (AC) composite electrode for use in an electrochemical capacitor was prepared by a simple chemical precipitation method, and the structure and morphology of the composite electrodes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
