  • Publication number: 20140302385
    Abstract: A negative electrode for a lithium (Li) secondary battery, a lithium secondary battery using the same, and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The negative electrode for the lithium secondary battery includes a germanium (Ge) structure and a graphene layer directly disposed on a surface of the germanium structure, and the graphene layer is grown on the surface of the germanium structure using a catalyst-free growth process. Accordingly, by directly disposing the graphene layer on the surface of the germanium structure, volume expansion of the germanium structure may be minimized during cycles of an alloying/dealloying reaction with lithium and high electronic conductivity can maintained during long cycles.

  • Patent number: 7282191
    Abstract: The growth of carbon nanotubes such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is achieved using a catalyst and carbon feedstock gas, with the catalyst being delivered using an approach for relatively clean delivery and placement thereof. In one example embodiment, nanoparticles are deposited from solution onto a substrate, and the substrate is subsequently heated to form catalyst material from the nanoparticles. A carbon nanotube is then grown from the catalyst material, using the catalyst material to catalyze a reaction that is used to grow the carbon nanotube. In one implementation, hydroxylamine is used in the deposition of nanoparticles of a catalyst precursor material from aqueous iron-containing solutions onto an SiO2 substrate. The nanoparticles are heated and used to form catalyst material on the SiO2 substrate, which is used in the subsequent growth of carbon nanotubes via the introduction of carbon-containing gas to the nanoparticles.
