Air-cathode fabrication is currently a key factor that hinders the scaling up of microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology. A new type of cathode material that contains porous polyethylene (PE) sheet and a blended activated carbon (AC) and highly conductive carbon back (CB) layer was developed for the first time. The...
We demonstrate a novel synthetic route to fabricate a one-dimensional
peapod-like Sb@C structure with disperse Sb
submicron-particles encapsulated in carbon submicron-tubes.
The synthetic route may well serve as a general methodology
for fabricating carbon/metallic fine structures by thermally
reducing their carbon-coated metal oxide composites.
Converting CO2 to valuable materials is attractive.Herein, we report using simple metallothermic reactions to reduce atmospheric CO2 to dense nanoporous graphene. By using a Zn/Mg mixture as a reductant, the resulted nanoporous graphene exhibits highly desirable properties: high specific surface area of 1900 m2/g, a great conductivity of 1050 S/m...

We introduce a novel ambient hydrolysis deposition (AHD) methodology that, for the first time, employs sequential water adsorption followed by a hydrolysis reaction to infiltrate tiny SnO2₂ particles inside nanopores of mesoporous carbon in a conformal and controllable manner. The empty space in the SnO2₂/C composites can be adjusted by...
