- ItemPhosphorus‐Based Composites as Anode Materials for Advanced Alkali Metal Ion Batteries(Hoboke, NJ : Wiley, 2020) Zhou, Junhua; Shi, Qitao; Ullah, Sami; Yang, Xiaoqin; Bachmatiuk, Alicja; Yang, Ruizhi; Rummeli, Mark H.Alkaline metal ion batteries, such as lithium‐ion batteries have been increasingly adopted in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and large power grids because of their high energy density, power density and working voltage, and long cycle life. Phosphorus‐based materials including phosphorus anodes and metal phosphides with high theoretical capacity, natural abundance, and environmental friendliness show great potential as negative electrodes for alkaline metal ion batteries. In this review, based on the understanding of the storage mechanism of alkali metal ions, the scientific challenges are discussed, the preparation methods and solutions to address these challenges are summarized, the application prospects are demonstrated, and finally possible future research directions of phosphorus‐based materials are provided.
- ItemSynthesis of Doped Porous 3D Graphene Structures by Chemical Vapor Deposition and Its Applications(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2019) Ullah, Sami; Hasan, Maria; Ta, Huy Q.; Zhao, Liang; Shi, Qitao; Fu, Lei; Choi, Jinho; Yang, Ruizhi; Liu, Zhongfan; Rümmeli, Mark H.Graphene doping principally commenced to compensate for its inert nature and create an appropriate bandgap. Doping of 3D graphene has emerged as a topic of interest because of attempts to combine its large available surface area—arising from its interconnected porous architecture—with superior catalytic, structural, chemical, and biocompatible characteristics that can be induced by doping. In light of the latest developments, this review provides an overview of the scalable chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-based growth of doped 3D graphene materials as well as their applications in various contexts, such as in devices used for energy generation and gas storage and biosensors. In particular, single- and multielement doping of 3D graphene by various dopants (such as nitrogen (N), boron (B), sulfur (S) and phosphorous (P)), the doping configurations of the resultant materials, an overview of recent developments in the field of CVD, and the influence of various parameters of CVD on graphene doping and 3D morphologies are focused in this paper. Finally, this report concludes the discussion by mentioning the existing challenges and future opportunities of these developing graphitic materials, intending to inspire the unveiling of more exciting functionalized 3D graphene morphologies and their potential properties, which can hopefully realize many possible applications. © 2019 The Authors.
