Nanostructured Composites: Structure, Properties, and Applications in Electrochemistry

摘要: Hybrid metal/metal oxide—poly-para-xylylene (PPX) nanocomposites have attracted great interest, because of a broad spectrum applications. A simple, low-cost preparation technique has been developed and comprises cold-wall vacuum co-deposition technique. This applied to synthesize nanocomposites, containing PPX nanoparticles Al, Sn, Zn, Ti their oxides. Important is the oxidation kinetics metal clusters oxides in relation percolation threshold. The structure, microstructure, properties these composite materials studied by X-Ray diffraction, AFM, TEM, electrical measurements. Anticipated applications present composites are photanodes for hydrogen production, active lithium-ion rechargeable battery materials, chemical gas sensors. An important aspect nature interfacial nanostructured particles material. selected will be discussed with focus on nanos-tructured TiO2/PPX as an anode material battery.
