Cyclic voltammogram（CV）, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）, and galvanostatic charge/discharge testing techniques were employed to evaluate the electrochemical behaviors of α-MoO3 nanobelts/CNTs composites. The results exhibited that compared to bare α-MoO3 nanobelts, the α-MoO3 nanobelts/CNTs composites have better electrochemical performances as cathode materials for lithium ion battery, maintaining a reversible specific capacity of 222.2 mAh/g at 0.3 C after 50 cycles, and 74.1% retention of the first reversible capacity. In addition, the Rct value of the α-MoO3 nanobelts/CNTs is 13 Ω, much lower than 66 Ω of the bare α-MoO3 nanobelts. The better electrochemical performances of the α-MoO3 nanobelts/CNTs composites can be attributed to the effects of the high conductive CNTs network.展开更多

The as-prepared nanostructure was characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, etc. The α-Fe2O3 nanobelts presented obvious porous structures with the length of ca. 1~2μm, width of ca. 200~350 nm and thickness of ca. 30~60 nm. It was found that the assistance of inorganic additives played an important role in the shape control of α-Fe2O3 nanostructure. The gas-sensing performance of the fabricated sensor based on α-Fe2O3 nanobelts sample was also investigated, and the response towards 1000 ppm acetone can reach 24.4. In addition, the gas-sensing conductive mechanism of the sensor was also proposed.展开更多
