One-step controllable fabrication of 3D structured self-standing Al₃Ni₂/Ni electrode through molten salt electrolysis for efficient water splitting

Exploring more efficient and low-cost electrocatalysts to replace platinum (Pt) is highly desired to promote the practical hydrogen production through water splitting. Herein, a facile and effective strategy is proposed to fabricate self-standing Al₃Ni₂/Ni electrode with controlled phase composition and surface...

Template-free preparation of porous Co microfibers from spent lithium-ion batteries as a promising microwave absorber

In order to take full advantage of the secondary resources, in this paper, we reported a template-free process to prepare porous Co microfibers from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). First, the waste LiCoO₂ powders were leached by oxalic acid at a suitable temperature, and rod-like cobalt oxalate powders were obtained. Second,...
