Fabrication and characterization of porous Si-Al films anode with different macroporous substrates for lithium-ion batteries

Porous Si-Al films were fabricated by magnetron sputtering (co-sputtering) using three different copper substrates as current collectors, respectively. The morphology, compositions, structure, and crystallinity of the porous Si-Al films anodes were examined by using SEM, EDX, TEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy. The electrochemical properties of the porous Si-Al films anodes were evaluated by galvanostatic cycling. The Si-Al film deposited on copper foam showed higher insertion/extraction capacity, capacity retention, and longer cycle life in comparison to the Si-Al films deposited on expanded copper mesh and even copper mesh grid, which could be attributed to its unique three-dimensional macroporous structure. The three-dimensional macroporous structure could offer larger materials/electrolyte contact area, a much better adhesion, lower electrical resistance (i.e., well conductive), and stress-alleviated environment to partly accommodate volume expansion that leads to exfoliation during cycling.

High photocatalytic activity and stability for decomposition of gaseous acetaldehyde on TiO2/Al2O3 composite films coated on foam nickel substrates by sol-gel processes

A set of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO₂) films coated on foam nickel that modified by Al₂O₃ films as transition layer (indicated as TiO₂/Al₂O₃ films) were synthesized via sol-gel route. The bulk and surface properties of the TiO₂/Al₂O₃ films were characterized by thermal gravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and BET. The photocatalytic activities of TiO₂/Al₂O₃ films were investigated based on the degradation of gaseous acetaldehyde under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The foam nickel is a promising substrate material in practical applications because of its excellent hydrodynamic properties for gas passing. The TiO₂/Al₂O₃ composite films showed much higher photocatalytic activity and stability for degradation of gaseous acetaldehyde than the onefold TiO₂ films. The significant enhancement in photocatalytic activity and stability can be ascribed to the coating of Al₂O₃ transition layer, which concentrates the target substances around TiO₂ particles and increases the specific surface area (SSA) of the substrate (the SSAs of bare foam nickel and Al₂O₃ modified foam nickel are 0.12 and 113.7 m²/g, respectively) to provide more sites for TiO₂ loading.     

Deposition of copper‐doped iron sulfide (CuxFe1−xS) thin films using aerosol‐assisted chemical vapor deposition technique

Copper‐doped iron sulfide (Cu_xFe_1?xS, x = 0.010–0.180) thin films were deposited using a single‐source precursor, Cu(LH)₂Cl₂ (LH = monoacetylferrocene thiosemicarbazone), by aerosol‐assisted chemical vapor deposition technique. The Cu‐doped FeS thin films were deposited at different substrate temperatures, i.e. 250, 300, 350, 400 and 450 °C. The deposited thin films were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, Raman spectra, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X‐ray analysis (EDX) and atomic force microscopy. XRD studies of Cu‐doped FeS thin films at all the temperatures revealed formation of single‐phase FeS structure. With increasing substrate temperature from 250 to 450 °C, there was change in morphology from wafer‐like to cylindrical plate‐like. EDX analysis showed that the doping percentage of copper increased as the substrate temperature increased from 250 to 450 °C. Raman data supports the doping of copper in FeS films.

Electrodeposition of selenium from 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium trifluromethylsulfonate

The electrodeposition of thin selenium (Se) films from 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium trifluromethylsulfonate at room and elevated temperatures on gold and on copper substrates was studied under open-air conditions. The effect of bath temperature on the composition and structure of the deposited films was examined using cyclic voltammetry, chemical analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis. The obtained results showed that on gold substrate and at room temperature, a reddish Se film grows mainly in amorphous, monoclinic, rhombohedral and hexagonal structure, while at temperatures ≥90 °C, a grayish film of hexagonal and rhombohedral structure is deposited. Photoelectron spectroscopy shows that both films consist of pure Se with only slight surface contaminations by remnants from the electrodeposition. Due to the differences in phase structure and the presence of the monoclinic phase, the reddish films showed higher light absorbance. The band gap of the reddish film is close to that of pure amorphous Se reported in literature. Deposition on copper substrate leads to formation of CuSe and CuSe₂ at room temperature and at 70 °C, respectively.     

Fabrication of flexible conducting thin films of copper-MWCNT from multi-component aqueous suspension by electrodeposition

Flexible thin films of metal–carbon nanotube (CNT) with densely populated CNT morphology were fabricated by electrodeposition from an optimized copper bath. The substrate used for the present work is polyethylene film that was pre-deposited with electroless copper as a seed layer before CNT deposition. Optimum concentration of CNT was incorporated into copper bath and the electrodeposition was done at quiescent and agitation conditions. The bonding between the seed layer and the electrodeposited copper was good as revealed from adhesion test. Electrical as well as physical-mechanical property of the film was improved by CNT incorporation within the metal matrix. The topography and the texture of the metal–CNT deposit showed a well-refined structure as per scanning electron microscope (SEM), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and scanning probe microscope (SPM) analysis. The stability of the film was tested by cyclic voltammetric and stripping analysis under various applied conditions. Raman spectra and Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopic (FT-IR) analysis revealed the presence of CNT and the functionality of CNT within the copper matrix. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis showed nucleation of copper on the surface of CNT walls.     

Effect of Lipid Phase State and Foam Film Type on the Properties of DMPG Stabilized Foams

The drainage and stability of DMPG (l-α-phosphatidyl-dl-glycerol dimyristoyl) foams were studied by a microconductivity method under conditions where three different foam film types could be formed—thin foam films (TFF), common black foam films (CBF), and Newton black foam films (NBF). Foaming properties were investigated at 20 and 28°C where DMPG is in the gel and liquid-crystalline states. Higher conductivity signals were observed at the higher temperature where DMPG was in the liquid-crystalline state, which is indicative of wetter or more stable foams under these conditions. This effect was observed independent of foam film type. However, for a given phase state, the type of foam films formed significantly influenced the stability and rate of drainage of the foam. Indeed, the water content of the foams, obtained under conditions for formation of different foam films, is ranked in the order TFF > CBF > NBF. When the temperature was increased to 28°C (i.e., in the liquid-crystalline state), CBF and NBF showed a slight decrease in film thickness and an increase in film lifetime and surface molecular diffusion coefficient in the adsorbed layer. It is likely that the fluidity of the interfacial layer is an important factor contributing to DMPG foam stabilization.     

Cobalt Oxide Arrays Anchored to Copper Foam as Efficient Binder-free Anode for Lithium Ion Batteries

The development of lithium-ion batteries with simplified assembling steps and fast charge capability is crucial for current battery applications. In this study, we propose a simple in-situ strategy for the construction of high-dispersive cobalt oxide (CoO) nanoneedle arrays, which grow vertically on a copper foam substrate. It is demonstrated that this nanoneedle CoO electrodes provide abundant electrochemical surface area. The resulting CoO arrays directly act as binder-free anodes in lithium-ion batteries with the copper foam functioning as the current collector. The highly-dispersed feature of the nanoneedle arrays enhances the effectiveness of active materials, leading to outstanding rate capability and superior long-term cycling stability. These impressive electrochemical properties are attributed to the highly-dispersed self-standing nanoarrays, the advantages of binder-free constituent, and the high exposed surface area of the copper foam substrate compared to copper foil, which enrich active surface area and facilitate charge transfer. The proposed approach to prepare binder-free lithium-ion battery anodes streamlines the electrode fabrication steps and holds significant promise for the future development of the battery industry.
