Synthesis of Mesoporous Carbon-Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Lithium Storage as Anode:A Comprehensive Chemical Experiment
Herein,we propose a comprehensive chemical experiment that include the preparation,characterization and lithium storage performance evaluation of mesoporous carbon-coated iron oxide nanoparticles.Students are guided to acquaint themselves with the characterization methods of material structure,the operation of battery assembly and battery testing technique.This experiment will disclose the interrelationship between material structure and performance to students,and cultivate their experiment skills,scientific literacy,and practical innovation ability.Furthermore,this experiment serves as a gateway for students to explore the frontier in new energy,and stimulate their scientific interest.Therefore,this experiment is recommended as a comprehensive chemical experiment course for senior undergraduates majoring in materials chemistry or applied chemistry.
