Abstract
In this work, cycling-induced aging occurring in 18650-type LiFePO4/graphite full cells at different C-rates is studied extensively. The mechanism of performance degradation is investigated using a combination of electrochemical and microstructural analyses. Half-cell studies are carried out after dismantling the full cells, using fresh and cycled LiFePO4 cathode and graphite anode to independently study them. The results show that the capacity of LiFePO4 electrodes is significantly recovered. The rate of capacity fading in the discharge state considered as irreversible capacity in the graphite is higher than LiFePO4 half cells, indicating a greater degradation in the performance of this...

Abstract
Cu@Cu2O core-shell nanoparticles on a-C : H thin films are prepared by co-deposition of RF-sputtering and RF-PECVD. Samples with different copper concentrations are grown. The copper content of films increases with reduction in initial pressure and rises with increasing RF power. When the Cu/C ratio reaches 0.5, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak that is a signature of the formation of Cu nanoparticles appears in visible spectra of these films. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization indicates that the surface of the copper nanoparticles oxidizes when they are exposed to air. The results are indicative that the shell of the nanoparticle is mainly the Cu 2O phase that is...
