Fluorite type La2Pb2O7 nanoparticles coated onto AgO as enhanced performance cathode active material for alkaline primary cell

چکیده مقاله

An enhanced discharge capacity of AgO cathode material is obtained by applying a surface layer comprising fluorite type La2Pb2O7 nanoparticles. Preparing of the La2Pb2O7 (LPO) nanoparticles is proceeded by facile coprecipitation method and the applies on the surface of as-prepared AgO using simple physical mixing process. Accurate characterizations disclose that the surface of AgO particles are thoroughly coated with La2Pb2O7 nanoparticles. The surface coated AgO cathode active material has noticeable enhancement of performance at current density of 250 mA g
