In order to have a better understanding of the flooding phenomena inside electrode, it is important to evaluate various discharge conditions of the flooded electrodes. A model of flooded porous electrode under the influence of potential sweep was developed to evaluate the flooding conditions in-situ. The hysteresis of current density vs. time was observed at high sweep rates (1 O0 mV.sl). It was not observed at low sweep rate (0.1 mV-s~). In this study, these characteristics of flooding and hysteresis conditions were found to be markedly dependent on the potential scan rate. These dynamic behaviors are interpreted in terms of water saturation response, velocity of water movement, and evaporation rate of water.展开更多

The mechanism of formation is shown to involve an in situ carbonaceous-template process. Hierarchical porous CoFe2O4 hollow spheres with different numbers of shells can be obtained by altering the synthesis conditions. The electrochemical properties of the resulting CoFe2O4 electrodes have been compared, using different binders. The as-obtained CoFe2O4 and NiFe2O4 have relatively high reversible discharge capacity and good rate retention performance which make them promising materials for use as anode materials in lithium ion batteries.展开更多
