Abstract:<\/h4>\n
We have synthesized a novel ferromagnetic material by coating \u03b1-Fe2<\/sub>O3<\/sub> nanoparticles with N-doped carbon matrix using a simple combustion method. Expired paracetamol drugs are used as nitrogen and carbon source. This \u03b1-Fe2<\/sub>O3<\/sub>\/NC shows ferromagnetic property due to the incorporation of oxygen defects. When used as the Li-ion battery anode, \u03b1-Fe2<\/sub>O3<\/sub>\/NC shows higher capacity compared to commercial \u03b1-Fe2<\/sub>O3<\/sub> due to the occurrence of both intercalation and conversion reaction. Further, application of magnetic field at the anode of the freshly assembled cell at the first charge-discharge cycle, results in ~two-fold enhancement in specific capacity. For the cycled cell also, increase in the capacity from 80 mAh. g-1<\/sup> to 150 mAh. g-1<\/sup> at 5 A. g-1<\/sup> is observed during the application of magnetic field at the 501st<\/sup> charging cycle. This improved performance is attributed to the field-dependent enhancement of diffusion and convection due to the magnetohydrodynamic effect. Further, application of the magnetic field at 1001st<\/sup>, 1501st<\/sup> and 1751st<\/sup> charging cycles shows improved LIB performance. We can show that not only the magnetic field, magnetic properties of the anode \u03b1-Fe2<\/sub>O3<\/sub>\/NC also play a crucial role in influencing the battery performance. Moreover, utilization of expired drug helps in dramatically reducing pollution caused by its disposal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DOI: 10.1038\/s41598-020-67042-1 Authors: Dipsikha Ganguly, Ajay Piriya Vijaya Kumar Saroja, Anamika Ghosh, Sundara Ramaprabhu Abstract: We have synthesized a novel ferromagnetic material by coating \u03b1-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with N-doped carbon matrix using a simple combustion method.
