Journal ArticleDOI
Self-assembled TiO2-Graphene Hybrid Nanostructures for Enhanced Li-ion Insertion
Donghai Wang,Daiwon Choi,Juan Li,Zhenguo Yang,Zimin Nie,Rong Kou,Dehong Hu,Chongmin Wang,Laxmikant V. Saraf,Ji-Guang Zhang,Ilhan A. Aksay,Jun Liu +11 more
TL;DR: The hybrid materials showed significantly enhanced Li-ion insertion/extraction in TiO2, and the specific capacity was more than doubled at high charge rates, as compared with the pureTiO2 phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ternary self-assembly of ordered metal oxide-graphene nanocomposites for electrochemical energy storage
Donghai Wang,Rong Kou,Daiwon Choi,Zhenguo Yang,Zimin Nie,Juan Li,Laxmikant V. Saraf,Dehong Hu,Ji-Guang Zhang,Gordon L. Graff,Jun Liu,Michael A. Pope,Ilhan A. Aksay +12 more
TL;DR: A ternary self-assembly approach using graphene as fundamental building blocks to construct ordered metal oxide-graphene nanocomposite films and electrodes is demonstrated and a new class of layered Nanocomposites is formed containing stable, ordered alternating layers of nanocrystalline metal oxides with graphene or graphene stacks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced activity and stability of Pt catalysts on functionalized graphene sheets for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction
Rong Kou,Yuyan Shao,Donghai Wang,Mark H. Engelhard,Ja Hun Kwak,Jun Wang,Vilayanur V. Viswanathan,Chongmin Wang,Yuehe Lin,Yong Wang,Ilhan A. Aksay,Jun Liu +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Pt-FGS was used for oxygen reduction in functionalized graphene sheets (FGSs) by thermal expansion of graphite oxide and Pt nanoparticles with average diameter 2 nm were uniformly loaded on FGSs by impregnation methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stabilization of Electrocatalytic Metal Nanoparticles at Metal−Metal Oxide−Graphene Triple Junction Points
Rong Kou,Yuyan Shao,Donghai Mei,Zimin Nie,Donghai Wang,Chongmin Wang,Vilayanur V. Viswanathan,Sehkyu Park,Ilhan A. Aksay,Yuehe Lin,Yong Wang,Yong Wang,Jun Liu +12 more
TL;DR: A new method to deposit metal oxides and metal nanoparticles on graphene and form stable metal-metal oxide-graphene triple junctions for electrocatalysis applications and DFT calculations suggest that the defects and functional groups on graphene also play an important role in stabilizing the catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
