Both the isomer conversion of acetylacetone and the network structure combined by enol and Ti-alkoxide facilitate the formation of the BST sol and the subsequent crystallization. Before the perovskite BST begins to form, the intermediate phase (Ba, Sr)Ti2OsCO3 is found. The boundary between BST and Si-NPA is of clarity and little interface diffusion, disclosing that Si-NPA is an ideal template substrate in the preparation of multifunctional composite films.展开更多

The theoretical specific capacity of metallic Sn is 847 mAh·g^(-1). However, the tinbased material undergoes a large volume expansion during the sodium-ion intercalation process, which leads to the crack and pulverization of the electrode, consequently resulting in a significant capacity loss. In this paper, a yolk–shell-structured Sn–Co@void@C composite composed of a Sn–Co alloy core, a carbon shell and void space between the core and shell is designed and synthesized.Compared with the carbon-encapsulated SnCo without void space(Sn–Co@C) and carbon-encapsulated pure Sn core shell with void space(Sn@void@C), this composite exhibits improved reversibility, cyclic performance and rate capability. This work highlights the important roles of Co in the alloy and the void space between the core and the shell. The former can not only buffer the volume expansion of Sn, but also act as an electrical conductor. The void space can further tolerate the volume expansion of the Sn–Co core. Owing to this unique microstructure, the Sn–Co@void@C composite shows an initial reversible capacity of 591.4 mAh·g^(-1), at a current density of50 mA·g^(-1). After 100 charge/discharge cycles at100 mA·g^(-1), the composite still delivers 330 mAh·g^(-1).展开更多
