Abstract

LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 modified with superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) is synthesized by mixing as-prepared LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 powders and the sol–gel-driven YBa2Cu3O7 matrix, subsequently followed by high-temperature calcinations. The effect of YBCO-modification on the electrochemical performances of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4@YBCO cells in a wide operation temperature is investigated systematically by the charge/discharge testing, cyclic voltammograms and AC impedance spectroscopy, respectively. In comparison with the pristine LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4@YBCO samples exhibit higher capacity, better cyclability and higher rate capability in a wide operation temperature range. An analysis of the electrochemical measurements reveals that the improved performance of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4@YBCO is due to the better electric contact among particles, much lower charge-transfer resistances and higher lithium diffusion rate, especially at low temperature. In addition, the homogeneous YBCO layer formed on the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 protects the active materials from chemical attack by HF, which suppresses the dissolution of Ni or Mn from LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 in the LiPF6 based electrolyte.

ABSTRACT

Magnetic interaction with the gapless surface states in a topological insulator (TI) has been predicted to give rise to a few exotic quantum phenomena. However, the effective magnetic doping of TI is still challenging in the experiment. Using first-principles calculations, the magnetic doping properties (V, Cr, Mn, and Fe) in three strong TIs (Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3, and Sb2Te3) are investigated. We find that for all three TIs the cation-site substitutional doping is most energetically favorable with the anion-rich environment as the optimal growth condition. Further, our results show that under the nominal doping concentration of 4%, Cr- and Fe-doped Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3, and Cr-doped Sb2Te3 remain as insulators, while all the V- and Mn-doped TIs, and Fe-doped Sb2Te3 become metal. We also show that the magnetic interaction of Cr-doped Bi2Se3 tends to be ferromagnetic, while Fe-doped Bi2Se3 is likely to be antiferromagnetic. Finally, we estimate the magnetic coupling and the Curie temperature for the promising ferromagnetic insulator (Cr-doped Bi2Se3) by Monte Carlo simulation. These findings may provide important guidance for the magnetism incorporation in TIs experimentally.

Abstract

Anatase TiO2 mesocrystals and single crystals with dominant {101} facets were successfully synthesized without any additives using titanate nanowires as precursors under solvothermal and hydrothermal conditions, respectively. It is proposed that the oriented self-assembly process for the formation of TiO2 mesocrystals was controlled by the same thermodynamic principle as that of single crystals in this simple reaction system. Furthermore, the TiO2 mesocrystals were applied in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting and demonstrated much enhanced photocurrent, almost 191% and 274% compared with that of TiO2 single crystals and commercial P25, respectively. Electrochemical impedance measurements under illumination revealed that the photocurrent increase was largely ascribed to the effective charge separation of electron–hole pairs and fast interfacial charge transfer. This could be attributed to the intrinsic characteristics of the mesostructured TiO2 composed of highly oriented nanocrystal subunits offering few grain boundaries, nanoporous nature and a short transport distance.

Abstract

The magnetism and work function Φ of Fe1—xGdx/Fe (001) films have been investigated using first-principles methods based on the density functional theory. The calculated results reveal that Gd doping on the Fe (001) surface would greatly affect the geometrical structure of the system. The restruction of the surface atoms leads to the transition of magnetic coupling between Gd and Fe atoms from ferromagnetic (FM) for 0.5 ≤ x ≤ 0.75 to antiferromagnetic (AFM) for x = 1.0. For Fe1—xGdx/Fe (001) (x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0), the charge transfer from Gd to Fe leads to a positive dipole formed on the surface, which is responsible for the decrease of the work function. Moreover, it is found that the magnetic moments of Fe and Gd on the surface layer can be strongly influenced by Gd doping. The changes of the work function and magnetism for Fe1—xGdx/Fe (001) can be explained by the electron transfer, the magnetic coupling interaction between Gd and Fe atoms, and the complex surface restruction. Our work strongly suggests that the doping of the metal with a low work function is a promising way for modulating the work function of the magnetic metal gate.
