Corn stalk-derived activated carbon with a stacking sheet-like structure as sulfur cathode supporter for lithium/sulfur batteries

Yuan, Guanghui; Yin, Fuxing; Zhao, Yan; Bakenov, Zhumabay; Wang, Gongkai; Zhang, Yongguang (Ionics. DOI 10.1007/s11581-015-1528-6, 2015-09-02)

A novel stacking sheet-like carbon (SSC) has been synthesized by carbonizing the corn stalks and composited with sulfur to prepare a cathode for lithium/sulfur batteries. Scanning electronic microscopy observations ...
ZnO Nanorods Grown Directly on Copper Foil Substrate as a Binder-Free Anode for High Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Huang, Lanyan; Wang, Xin; Yin, Fuxing; Zhang, Yongguang; Gao, Jinwei; Liu, Junming; Zhou, Guofu; Bakenov, Zhumabay (International Journal of ELECTROCHEMICAL SCIENCE. www.electrochemsci.org, 2016-09-06)

ZnO nanorods directly grown on copper foil substrate were obtained via hydrothermal method without using templates. Structure and morphology of the as-prepared ZnO nanorods were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning ...
Synthesis of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Aqueous Suspension with Surfactant Sodium Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate for Lithium/Sulfur Rechargeable Batteries

Zhao, Yan; Liu, Xinyi; Zhang, Yongguang; Bakenov, Zhumabay; Yin, Fuxing (Electrochemistry. The Electrochemical Society of Japan, 2015-12-27)

Due to the hydrophobic nature of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT), sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) was adopted as a surfactant to synthesize a well-dispersed, homogeneous MWNT aqueous suspension. By simple stirring ...
Exploring 3D microstructural evolution in Li-Sulfur battery electrodes using in-situ X-ray tomography

Yermukhambetova, Assiya; Tan, Chun; Daemi, Sohrab R.; Bakenov, Zhumabay; Darr, Jawwad A.; Brett, Daniel J. L.; Shearing, Paul R. (www.nature.com/scientificreports, 2016-09-17)

Lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries offer higher theoretical specific capacity, lower cost and enhanced safety compared to current Li-ion battery technology. However, the multiple reactions and phase changes in the sulfur ...
Fabrication and Properties of Carbon- Encapsulated Cobalt Nanoparticles over NaCl by CVD

Li, Haipeng; Li, Yue; Zhang, Yongguang; Liang, Chunyong; Wang, Hongshui; Li, Baoe; Adair, Desmond; Bakenov, Zhumabay (Nanoscale Research Letters, 2016-09-27)

Carbon-encapsulated cobalt (Co@C) nanoparticles, with a tunable structure, were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition using Co nanoparticles as the catalyst and supported on a water-soluble substrate (sodium chloride), ...
Impact of Backbone fluorination on -conjugated polymers in organic photovoltaic devices: a review

Leclerc, Nicolas; Chávez, Patricia; Ibraikulov, Olzhas A.; Heiser, Thomas; Lévêque, Patrick (Polymers, 2016-01-12)

Solution-processed bulk heterojunction solar cells have experienced a remarkable acceleration in performances in the last two decades, reaching power conversion efficiencies above 10%. This impressive progress is the ...
