Gold particles intercalation

The microtubular electrode concept described here also offers another possible advantage. In these concentric tubular electrodes, each particle of the Li intercalation material (the outer tube) has its own current collector (the inner metal microtubule). This could be an important advantage for Li+ intercalation materials with low electrical conductivity. This advantage was not demonstrated here because TiS2 has relatively high electronic conductivity. We have recently shown that electrochemical synthesis can be used to coat the gold microtubular current collector with outer mbes of a...
