Studies of Reversible Hydrogen Binding in Nano- Sized Materials
Experimental review of materials suitable for reversible hydrogen binding in nanoporous and nanosized structures of materials, based on natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) and graphene (exfoliated electrochemically from raw graphite), were analyzed. Characterization of materials with SEM, XRD, EDS and Raman spectroscopy methods and aspects of synthesis of a nanostructured zeolite and a few-layer graphite material was done in this work. It was established from gas analyzer results that hydrogen mass fraction in natural zeolite ranged from 1.1 % to 1.4 %, but in the few-layer graphite material − from 0.39 % to 0.46 %.

Electrophoretically deposited α-Fe2O3 and TiO2 composite anchored on rGO with excellent cycle performance as anode for lithium ion batteries
Abstract Two nanostructured oxides, α-Fe2O3 and TiO2 with a particle diameters 50 nm and 21 nm, were mixed with graphene oxide (GO). Composite thin films on a stainless steel substrate were obtained by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) procedure from water suspensions: α-Fe2O3/GO, TiO2/GO and α-Fe2O3/TiO2/GO. Subsequently reduction of as-prepared thin films was performed. Thicknesses of acquired films were evaluated in the range of 2–6 μm. Structure and morphology were investigated as well as electrochemical properties of all samples were studied. The results revealed that α-Fe2O3/TiO2/rGO (in this article denoted as FTGO) exhibited the specific discharge capacity of 790 mAh·g−1 after 150 cy…
