Journal ArticleDOI
Reversible aqueous zinc/manganese oxide energy storage from conversion reactions
Huilin Pan,Yuyan Shao,Pengfei Yan,Yingwen Cheng,Kee Sung Han,Zimin Nie,Chongmin Wang,Jihui Yang,Xiaolin Li,Priyanka Bhattacharya,Karl T. Mueller,Karl T. Mueller,Jun Liu +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate a highly reversible zinc/manganese oxide system in which optimal mild aqueous ZnSO4-based solution is used as the electrolyte, and nanofibres of a manganese oxide phase, α-MnO2, are used as a cathode.
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
Dendrite-Free Lithium Deposition via Self-Healing Electrostatic Shield Mechanism
Fei Ding,Wu Xu,Gordon L. Graff,Jian Zhang,Maria L. Sushko,Xilin Chen,Yuyan Shao,Mark H. Engelhard,Zimin Nie,Jie Xiao,Xingjiang Liu,Peter V. Sushko,Jun Liu,Ji Guang Zhang +13 more
TL;DR: This work shows a novel mechanism that can fundamentally alter dendrite formation in lithium-ion batteries as well as other metal batteries and transform the surface uniformity of coatings deposited in many general electrodeposition processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sodium ion insertion in hollow carbon nanowires for battery applications.
Yuliang Cao,Lifen Xiao,Lifen Xiao,Maria L. Sushko,Wei Wang,Birgit Schwenzer,Jie Xiao,Zimin Nie,Laxmikant V. Saraf,Zhengguo Yang,Jun Liu +10 more
TL;DR: Hollow carbon nanowires prepared through pyrolyzation of a hollow polyaniline nanowire precursor deliver high reversible capacity and excellent cycling stability and the good Na-ion insertion property is attributed to the short diffusion distance in the HCNWs and the large interlayer distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Soft Approach to Encapsulate Sulfur: Polyaniline Nanotubes for Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries with Long Cycle Life
Lifen Xiao,Yuliang Cao,Yuliang Cao,Jie Xiao,Birgit Schwenzer,Mark H. Engelhard,Laxmikant V. Saraf,Zimin Nie,Gregory J. Exarhos,Jun Liu +9 more
TL;DR: A novel vulcanized polyaniline nanotube/sulfur composite was prepared successfully via an in situ vulcanization process by heating a mixture of polyAniline Nanotube and sulfur at 280 °C.
