  • 3D Nitrogen-Doped Graphene foam with encapsulated germanium/Nitrogen-Doped Graphene yolk-shell nanoarchitecture for high-performance flexible Li-ion battery
    Nature Communications, 2017
    Co-Authors: Runwei Mo, Kening Sun, David Rooney, Hui Ying Yang
    Abstract:

    Flexible electrochemical energy storage devices have attracted extensive attention as promising power sources for the ever-growing field of flexible and wearable electronic products. However, the rational design of a novel electrode structure with a good flexibility, high capacity, fast charge–discharge rate and long cycling lifetimes remains a long-standing challenge for developing next-generation flexible energy-storage materials. Herein, we develop a facile and general approach to three-dimensional (3D) interconnected porous Nitrogen-Doped Graphene foam with encapsulated Ge quantum dot/Nitrogen-Doped Graphene yolk-shell nano architecture for high specific reversible capacity (1,220mAhg?1), long cycling capability (over 96% reversible capacity retention from the second to 1,000 cycles) and ultra-high rate performance (over 800mAhg?1 at 40 C). This work paves a way to develop the 3D interconnected Graphene-based high-capacity electrode material systems, particularly those that suffer from huge volume expansion, for the future development of high-performance flexible energy storage systems. 1

  • Shock-wave synthesis of multilayer Graphene and Nitrogen-Doped Graphene materials from carbonate
    Carbon, 2015
    Co-Authors: Hao Yin, Pengwan Chen, Xing Gao, Chunxiao Xu, Yang Zhao, Qiang Zhou, Liangti Qu
    Abstract:

    A method for transforming carbonate into Graphene using shock-wave loading is presented in this paper. Multilayer Graphene was synthesized by impacting mixtures of calcium carbonate and magnesium using a detonation-driven flyer. Furthermore, by adding ammonium nitrate to the reaction system, Nitrogen-Doped Graphene material was formed in a one-step shock-wave treatment. The recovered samples were characterized using various techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The shock synthesis of Graphene materials requires a balance between the growth rate of Graphene materials and the formation rate of carbon atoms. The pressure and temperature are two important factors affecting the synthesis of Graphene materials. Shock-synthesized Nitrogen-Doped Graphene material was demonstrated to act as a metal-free electrode with an efficient electrocatalytic activity and long-term operation stability for the oxygen reduction reaction via two- and four-electron pathways in alkaline fuel cells.
