To overcome the poor electrochemical characteristics of lithium metal anodes due to the dendrite formations, diamond like carbon (DLC) films were deposited onto the surface of lithium metal by radio frequency-plasma enhanced ...

A nano carbon coating layer was prepared by the thermal evaporation of fullerene C60 on the surface of lithium metal anodes for rechargeable lithium batteries. The morphology and structure of the carbon layer was firstly ...

A Fullerene C60 film was introduced as a coating layer for silicon nanowires (Si NWs) by a plasma assisted thermal evaporation technique. The morphology and structural characteristics of the materials were studied by ...

Silicon would seem to be a possible candidate to replace graphite or carbon as anode materials for lithium ion batteries based on its potential high capacity of 4200 mAhg-1. The main problem that must be solved for commercial ...

Carbon Nanospheres (CNSs) have been synthesized by thermal pyrolysis method. A mixture of Fe-catalyst supported activated carbons and palm oil was used in the furnace to produce CNSs. Prior to the synthesis of CNSs, ...

Sodium ion battery (SIB) has become one of the alternative battery system to replace lithium ion battery in the future. The abundant resource and low price of sodium are the main reasons for the development of SIB. However, ...

Salacca peel-based porous carbon (SPPC) with high surface area (1945 m2 g−1) and large specific pore volume (1.68 cm3 g−1) was prepared by pre-carbonization and K2CO3 activation method. Based on the TGA results, it can be ...

In this work, waste tea-based porous carbons were prepared by hydrothermal carbonization and then followed by the chemical activation using KOH and ZnCl2. As-prepared porous carbons were then used to host sulfur as composite ...

Options are financial instruments that convey the right, but not the obligation, to engage in a future transaction on some underlying asset or in a future contract. In other words, the holder does not have to exercise this ...

This paper intends to fill a lack of research in comparing family businesses in different cultures or countries. In this paper, we explore whether family businesses differ in benefitting from innovation on growth, based ...

For years cities in Indonesia have experienced massive urban and economic developments which involved conversion of land to economic areas and human settlements. These cause some cities in Indonesia to face critical condition ...

This research paper explains the results of the prediction analysis of the number of lives lost in the event of a catastrophic dam collapse in Indonesia as a further consideration in assessing the level of risk of dam ...
