However, their synthesis processes were mostly complicated, and few researches reported one-step encapsulation of different valence states of precious metals in carbon-based materials. Hence, a novel hollow core-shell nanostructure electrode material, RuO_(2)@Ru/HCs, with a lower mass of ruthenium to reduce costs was constructed by one-step hydrothermal method with hard template and co-assembled strategy, consisting of RuO_(2) core and ruthenium nanoparticles(Ru NPs) in carbon shell. The Ru NPs were uniformly assembled in the carbon layer, which not only improved the electronic conductivity but also provided more active centers to enhance the pseudocapacitance. The RuO_(2) core further enhanced the material’s energy storage capacity. Excellent capacitance storage(318.5 F·g^(-1)at 0.5 A·g^(-1)), rate performance(64.4%) from 0.5 A·g^(-1)to 20 A·g^(-1), and cycling stability(92.3% retention after 5000 cycles) were obtained by adjusting Ru loading to 0.92%(mass). It could be attributed to the wider pore size distribution in the micropores which increased the transfer of electrons and protons. The symmetrical supercapacitor device based on RuO_(2)@Ru/HCs could successfully light up the LED lamp. Therefore, our work verified that interfacial modification of RuO_(2) and carbon could bring attractive insights into energy density for nextgeneration supercapacitors.展开更多

Through well designed calcinations, Ti O2 microspheres with various amounts of carbon-residue,such as core/shell C@TiO2, hollow neat H–TiO2, and hollow C/TiO2 composites, are obtained. When these microspheres are used as anode materials for lithium ion batteries, the lithium storage performance is significantly influenced by the structure and carbon-residue. With a thin shell of TiO2 nanoparticles and carbon-residue, the capacity of hollow C/TiO2 composites maintains at 143.3 m A·h·g-1at 0.5 C(83.5 m A·g-1) after 100 cycles.Moreover, after high rate charge/discharge cycles from 0.2 C to 20 C and back to 0.2 C again, the reversible capacity recovers atas high as 195.1 m A·h·g-1with respect to its initial value of 205.0 m A·h·g-1. The results of cycle voltammograms and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy further reveal that Li+insertion/extraction processes are reversible, and the diffusion coefficient of Li+in the hollow C/TiO2 composites is much higher than those of others, because the hollow structure can act as the ion-buffering reservoir and facilitate Li+transfer from both sides of the shell, and the carbon-residue in the shell improves the conductivity as well.展开更多

However, its sodium storage capability is severely limited by the sluggish sodiation/desodiation reaction kinetics. Herein, NiCo_2O_4 double-shelled hollow spheres were synthesized via a microwave-assisted, fast solvothermal synthetic procedure in a mixture of isopropanol and glycerol, followed by annealing. Isopropanol played a vital role in the precipitation of nickel and cobalt,and the shrinkage of the glycerol quasi-emulsion under heat treatment was responsible for the formation of the double-shelled nanostructure. The as-synthesized productwas tested as an anode material in a sodium ion battery,was found to exhibit a high reversible specific capacity of 511 m Ahg^(-1) at 100 m Ag^(-1), and deliver high capacity retention after 100 cycles.展开更多

The structure and formation mechanism of the hollow spheres were investigated in detail. The control mechanism of shell thickness was also discussed. The results indicated that the shell thickness and coarseness of the synthesized core-shell hematite hollow spheres could be tuned simply by the surface carboxyl content of the P（St-co-AA） particles. This method provided a new approach for the structure control in the preparation of hollow spheres. A Brunauer-Emmett-Teller （BET） test shows that the prepared hollow spheres have large surface areas which were decreased along with the increase of the diameter. The magnetic properties of the as-obtained hematite hollow spheres were investigated. The result showed that the coercivity and saturated magnetization were increased along with the increase of the shell thickness, and the remanent magnetization was increased along with the decrease of the diameter.展开更多

In this study, steel hollow spheres were successfully manufactured using an advanced powder metallurgy technique. The spheres＇ shells were characterized by optical microscopy in conjunction with microstructural image analysis software, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（EDX）, and X-ray diffraction（XRD）. The microscopic evaluations revealed that the shells consist of sintered iron powder, sintered copper powder, sodium silicate, and porosity regions. In addition, the effects of copper content on various parameters such as shell defects, microcracks, thickness, and porosities were investigated. The results indicated that increasing the copper content results in decreases in the surface fraction of shell porosities and the number of microcracks and an increase in shell thickness.展开更多

The method mainly involves two steps of the preparation of silver-coated glass microsphere core–shell particles by a controllable liquid reduced reaction of Ag[（NH3）2]＋ solution, which only produces silver nanoparticles anchored on the surface of the thiolated glass microsphere templates, and the removal of glass microspheres by wet chemical etching with HF solution. The products are well characterized by field emitted scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmitted electron microscopy （TEM）, X-ray photoelectron spectra （XPS）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and energy dispersive X-ray （EDX） etc. The as-prepared core-shell particles and hollow particles have even and compact silver shells. The electromagnetic shielding coatings based on the silver hollow microspheres are demonstrated to have high conductivity, excellent shielding effectiveness and long durability, suggesting that the silver hollow microspheres obtained here are a novel light-weight electromagnetic shielding filler and will have extensive applications in the electromagnetic compatibility fields.展开更多
