The properties of piezoelectric PVDF films as separators are studied in NiO/Li electrodes Li-ion power cell.The results show that the PVDF piezoelectric film with excellent insulation is suitable for the environmental energy harvesting application.This is attributable to the compact structure of the piezoelectric PVDF film,and which make it has low leakage current and low charge-discharge current characteristics.
Tubular nanocomposite with interconnected MnO2 nanoflakes coated on MWCNTs(MWCNTs@MnO2)was fabricated by an aqueous solution method at 80°C.Scanning electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction and galvanostatic charge-discharge tests were used to characterize the structures and electrochemical performances of the as-prepared nanocomposite.The capacity reaches 1233.6 mA h g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1 for the first discharge,and it can still maintain a capacity of 633.1mA h g-1 after 100 charge-discharge cycles.The results show that MWCNTs with good electrical conductivity as anchors of MnO2 can provide fast electron transport channels for MnO2 in the electrochemical reactions,and the as-prepared MWCNTs@MnO2 nanocomposite is a potential anode material for lithium ion batteries.
