Inorganic nanostructured materials are being hybridized with carbon materials in order to enhance their performance in energy storage and generation devices(batteries,supercapacitors,solar cells,photocatalysts).High performance relies largely on scrupulous design of nanoarchitectures and level of control in fabrication.We have been actively working on core-shell integrated electrode materials directly on various conductive substrates for both supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries.In this talk we will present our recent results on integrating metal oxides onto porous graphite foams.Examples include MnO2/PEDOT composite nanorods for supercapacitors,Fe3O4 nanoparticles for lithium-ion battery,and V2O5/PEDOT core-shell nanorods for both supercapacitor and LIB.The fabrication is mainly on liquid phase reaction and assisted by atomic layer deposition(ALD),leading to very homogeneous coverage of the graphene surface with oxides.These electrodes exhibit high reversible capacity,fast charging and discharging capability,and ultrahigh cycling stability.Other contributors to this work include but not limited to,Dr.Xinhui Xia,Dr.Cao Guan,Dr.Jingshan Luo,Mr.Dongliang Chao.This research is supported by SERC Public Sector Research Funding(Grant number 1121202012),Agency for Science,Technology,and Research(A*STAR).
