Journal ArticleDOI

High-density sodium and lithium ion battery anodes from banana peels

TL;DR: A combination of XRD and XPS demonstrates highly reversible Na intercalation rather than metal underpotential deposition, and the same analysis proves the presence of metallic Li in the pores, withintercalation being much less pronounced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anodes for Sodium Ion Batteries Based on Tin–Germanium–Antimony Alloys

TL;DR: HRTEM shows that Sn50Ge25Sb25 is a composite of 10-15 nm Sn and Sn-alloyed Ge nanocrystallites that are densely dispersed within an amorphous matrix, which leads to hypothesize that this new phenomenon originates from the Ge(Sn) that is able to sodiate beyond the 1:1 Na:Ge ratio reported for the pure element.
Journal ArticleDOI

High Rate Electrochemical Capacitors from Three-Dimensional Arrays of Vanadium Nitride Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes

TL;DR: In this article, a simple methodology is developed to directly synthesize three-dimensional (3D) electrochemically supercapacitive arrays, consisting of multiwalled carbon nanotubes conformally covered by nanocrystalline vanadium nitride, firmly anchored to glassy carbon or Inconel electrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sn–Bi–Sb alloys as anode materials for sodium ion batteries

TL;DR: In this article, the performance and electrochemical charge/discharge behavior of Sn-Bi-Sb alloy films were examined, as well as pure Sn, Bi, and Sb films, as anodes for sodium ion batteries (SIBs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation with Li Enables Facile Sodium Storage in Germanium

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that activation by a single lithiation-delithiation cycle leads to a dramatic improvement in the practically achievable capacity, in rate capability, and in cycling stability of Ge nanowires (GeNWs) and Ge thin film (GeTF).
