Description
Summary:A unique nanostructure consisting of a TiC nanoparticle core and a conformal polypyrrole shell doped with p -toluene sulfonate has been synthesized by a controlled heterogeneous nucleation process. As an electrode material in a Li-ion containing organic electrolyte, the nanocomposite exhibits remarkable high-rate (up to 400 C-rate) charge-discharge capability and cycling stability even at 50 °C. TiC@PPy( p TS) core-shell nanoparticles are synthesized by controlled heterogeneous nucleation and exhibit remarkable high-rate performance for rechargeable batteries.
