Dendritic materials are attractive as catalysts due to their highly ordered structure and high surface area. Herein, we report a NiFe dendritic nanostructure obtained by a simple electrodeposition without template. The control of concentration, potential, and pH plays an important role in the formation of the dendriti…

A strategy is proposed and developed to promote Li+ diffusion in polyanion cathode materials such as 0.8Li2FeSiO4/0.4Li2SiO3/C with the incorporation of Li2SiO3 as a lithium ionic conductive matrix. It is shown that the presence of Li2SiO3 separates the Li2FeSiO4 particles into small domains of a few nanometres and pr…

Although a multitude of microporous coordination polymers (MCPs) with ultrahigh surface area have been reported in the last decade, none of these can come close to matching the cost/performance ratio of conventional sorbents such as zeolites and carbons for most applications. There is a need to drastically reduce the…
