Project description:There are plenty of issues need to be solved before the practical application of Li- and Mn-rich cathodes, including the detrimental voltage decay and mediocre rate capability, etc. Element doping can effectively solve the above problems, but cause the loss of capacity. The introduction of appropriate defects can compensate the capacity loss; however, it will lead to structural mismatch and stress accumulation. Herein, a three-in-one method that combines cation-polyanion co-doping, defect construction, and stress engineering is proposed. The co-doped Na+/SO42- can stabilize the layer framework and enhance the capacity and voltage stability. The induced defects would activate more reaction sites and promote the electrochemical performance. Meanwhile, the unique alternately distributed defect bands and crystal bands structure can alleviate the stress accumulation caused by changes of cell parameters upon cycling. Consequently, the modified sample retains a capacity of 273 mAh g-1 with a high-capacity retention of 94.1% after 100 cycles at 0.2 C, and 152 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 2 C, the corresponding voltage attenuation is less than 0.907 mV per cycle.

Project description:PbO2-Co3O4-MnO2 electrodes, used in the electrowinning industry and in the degradation of organic pollutants, have demonstrated an elevated performance through macroscopic electrochemical measurements. However, few reports have investigated localized electrochemical performance, which plays an indispensable role in determining the essential reasons for the improvement of the modified material. In this study, the causes of the increase in electrochemical reactivity are unveiled from a micro perspective through scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman microscopy (Raman), and X-ray photoelectronic energy spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the increase of electrochemical reactivity of the modified electrodes results from two factors: transformation of the microstructure and change in the intrinsic physicochemical properties. Constant-height scanning maps indicate that the electrochemical reactivity of the modified electrodes is higher than that of the PbO2 electrode on the whole and high-reactivity areas are orderly distributed, coinciding with the observations from SEM and XRD. Thus, one of the reasons for the improvement of the modified electrode performance is the refinement of the microscopic morphology. The other reason is the surge of the oxygen vacancy concentration on the surface of the coating, which is supported by XRD, Raman and XPS. This finding is detected by the probe approach curve (PAC), which can quantitatively characterize the electrochemical reactivity of a substrate. Heterogeneous charge transfer rate constants of the modified electrode are 4-5 times higher than that of the traditional PbO2 electrode. This research offers some insight into the electrochemical reactivity of modified PbO2 electrodes from a micro perspective.

Project description:Manganese oxides are regarded as one of the most promising cathode materials in rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) because of the low price and high security. However, the practical application of Mn2O3 in ZIBs is still plagued by the low specific capacity and poor rate capability. Herein, highly crystalline Mn2O3 materials with interconnected mesostructures and controllable pore sizes are obtained via a ligand-assisted self-assembly process and used as high-performance electrode materials for reversible aqueous ZIBs. The coordination degree between Mn2+ and citric acid ligand plays a crucial role in the formation of the mesostructure, and the pore sizes can be easily tuned from 3.2 to 7.3 nm. Ascribed to the unique feature of nanoporous architectures, excellent zinc-storage performance can be achieved in ZIBs during charge/discharge processes. The Mn2O3 electrode exhibits high reversible capacity (233 mAh g-1 at 0.3 A g-1), superior rate capability (162 mAh g-1 retains at 3.08 A g-1) and remarkable cycling durability over 3000 cycles at a high current rate of 3.08 A g-1. Moreover, the corresponding electrode reaction mechanism is studied in depth according to a series of analytical methods. These results suggest that rational design of the nanoporous architecture for electrode materials can effectively improve the battery performance.

Project description:Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as a predominant power source are widely used in large-scale energy storage fields. For the next-generation energy storage LIBs, it is primary to seek the high capacity and long lifespan electrode materials. Nickel and purified terephthalic acid-based MOF (Ni-PTA) with a series amounts of zinc dopant (0, 20, 50%) are successfully synthesized in this work and evaluated as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Among them, the 20% atom fraction Zn-doped Ni-PTA (Zn0.2-Ni-PTA) exhibits a high specific capacity of 921.4 mA h g-1 and 739.6 mA h g-1 at different current densities of 100 and 500 mA g-1 after 100 cycles. The optimized electrochemical performance of Zn0.2-Ni-PTA can be attributed to its low charge transfer resistance and high lithium-ion diffusion rate resulting from expanded interplanar spacing after moderate Zn doping. Moreover, a full cell is fabricated based on the LiFePO4 cathode and as-prepared MOF. The Zn0.2-Ni-PTA shows a reversible specific capacity of 97.9 mA h g-1 with 86.1% capacity retention (0.5 C) after 100 cycles, demonstrating the superior electrochemical performance of Zn0.2-Ni-PTA anode as a promising candidate for practical lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathodes suffer from severe bulk structural and interfacial degradation during battery operation. To address these issues, a three in one strategy using ZrB2 as the dopant is proposed for constructing a stable Ni-rich cathode. In this strategy, Zr and B are doped into the bulk of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2, respectively, which is beneficial to stabilize the crystal structure and mitigate the microcracks. Meanwhile, during the high-temperature calcination, some of the remaining Zr at the surface combined with the surface lithium source to form lithium zirconium coatings, which physically protect the surface and suppress the interfacial phase transition upon cycling. Thus, the 0.2 mol% ZrB2-LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode delivers a discharge capacity of 183.1 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 50 °C (1C, 3.0-4.3 V), with an outstanding capacity retention of 88.1%. The cycling stability improvement is more obvious when the cut-off voltage increased to 4.4 V. Density functional theory confirms that the superior structural stability and excellent thermal stability are attributed to the higher exchange energy of Li/Ni exchange and the higher formation energy of oxygen vacancies by ZrB2 doping. The present work offers a three in one strategy to simultaneously stabilize the crystal structure and surface for the Ni-rich cathode via a facile preparation process.

Project description:Hafnium-doped titania (Hf/Ti = 0.01; 0.03; 0.05) had been facilely synthesized via a template sol-gel method on carbon fibre. Physico-chemical properties of the as-synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, scanning transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetry analysis and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements. It was confirmed that Hf4+ substitute in the Ti4+ sites, forming Ti1-x Hf x O2 (x = 0.01; 0.03; 0.05) solid solutions with an anatase crystal structure. The Ti1-x Hf x O2 materials are hollow microtubes (length of 10-100 µm, outer diameter of 1-5 µm) composed of nanoparticles (average size of 15-20 nm) with a surface area of 80-90 m2 g-1 and pore volume of 0.294-0.372 cm3 g-1. The effect of Hf ion incorporation on the electrochemical behaviour of anatase TiO2 in the Li-ion battery anode was investigated by galvanostatic charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It was established that Ti0.95Hf0.05O2 shows significantly higher reversibility (154.2 mAh g-1) after 35-fold cycling at a C/10 rate in comparison with undoped titania (55.9 mAh g-1). The better performance offered by Hf4+ substitution of the Ti4+ into anatase TiO2 mainly results from a more open crystal structure, which has been achieved via the difference in ionic radius values of Ti4+ (0.604 Å) and Hf4+ (0.71 Å). The obtained results are in good accord with those for anatase TiO2 doped with Zr4+ (0.72 Å), published earlier. Furthermore, improved electrical conductivity of Hf-doped anatase TiO2 materials owing to charge redistribution in the lattice and enhanced interfacial lithium storage owing to increased surface area directly depending on the Hf/Ti atomic ratio have a beneficial effect on electrochemical properties.

Project description:Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals have drawn attention as active light-absorbing or -emitting materials for opto-electronic applications due to their facile synthesis, intrinsic defect tolerance, and color-pure emission ranging over the entire visible spectrum. To optimize their application in, e.g., solar cells and light-emitting diodes, it is desirable to gain control over electronic doping of these materials. However, predominantly due to the intrinsic instability of perovskites, successful electronic doping has remained elusive. Using spectro-electrochemistry and electrochemical transistor measurements, we demonstrate here that CsPbBr3 nanocrystals can be successfully and reversibly p-doped via electrochemical hole injection. From an applied potential of ∼0.9 V vs NHE, the emission quenches, the band edge absorbance bleaches, and the electronic conductivity quickly increases, demonstrating the successful injection of holes into the valence band of the CsPbBr3 nanocrystals.

Project description:Iron/manganese-based layered transition metal oxides have risen to prominence as prospective cathodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to their abundant resources and high theoretical specific capacities, yet they still suffer from rapid capacity fading. Herein, a dual-strategy is developed to boost the Na-storage performance of the Fe/Mn-based layered oxide cathode by copper (Cu) doping and nanoengineering. The P2-Na0.76Cu0.22Fe0.30Mn0.48O2 cathode material synthesized by electrospinning exhibits the pearl necklace-like hierarchical nanostructures assembled by nanograins with sizes of 50-150 nm. The synergistic effects of Cu doping and nanotechnology enable high Na+ coefficients and low ionic migration energy barrier, as well as highly reversible structure evolution and Cu/Fe/Mn valence variation upon repeated sodium insertion/extraction; thus, the P2-Na0.76Cu0.22Fe0.30Mn0.48O2 nano-necklaces yield fabulous rate capability (125.4 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C with 56.5 mA h g-1 at 20 C) and excellent cyclic stability (≈79% capacity retention after 300 cycles). Additionally, a promising energy density of 177.4 Wh kg-1 is demonstrated in a prototype soft-package Na-ion full battery constructed by the tailored nano-necklaces cathode and hard carbon anode. This work symbolizes a step forward in the development of Fe/Mn-based layered oxides as high-performance cathodes for SIBs.

Project description:It has been demonstrated that atomic layer deposition (ALD) provides an initially safeguarding, uniform ultrathin film of controllable thickness for lithium-ion battery electrodes. In this work, CeO2 thin films were deposited to modify the surface of lithium-rich Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 (LRNMC) particles via ALD. The film thicknesses were measured by transmission electron microscopy. For electrochemical performance, ∼2.5 nm CeO2 film, deposited by 50 ALD cycles (50Ce), was found to have the optimal thickness. At a 1 C rate and 55 °C in a voltage range of 2.0-4.8 V, an initial capacity of 199 mAh/g was achieved, which was 8% higher than that of the uncoated (UC) LRNMC particles. Also, 60.2% of the initial capacity was retained after 400 cycles of charge-discharge, compared to 22% capacity retention of UC after only 180 cycles of charge-discharge. A robust kinetic of electrochemical reaction was found on the CeO2-coated samples at 55 °C through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The conductivity of 50Ce was observed to be around 3 times higher than that of UC at 60-140 °C. The function of the CeO2 thin-film coating was interpreted as being to increase substrate conductivity and to block the dissolution of metal ions during the charge-discharge process.

Project description:Mn3O4 is considered to be a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of its low cost, high capacity, and enhanced safety. However, the inferior cyclic stability of the Mn3O4 anode is a major challenge for the development of SIBs. In this study, a one-step solvothermal method was established to produce nanostructured Mn3O4 with an average particle size of 21 nm and a crystal size of 11 nm. The Mn3O4 obtained exhibits a unique architecture, consisting of small clusters composed of numerous tiny nanoparticles. The Mn3O4 material could deliver high capacity (522 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1), reasonable cyclic stability (158 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles), and good rate capability (73 mAh g-1 at 1000 mA g-1) even without further carbon coating, which is a common exercise for most anode materials so far. The sodium insertion/extraction was also confirmed by a reversible conversion reaction by adopting an ex situ X-ray diffraction technique. This simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly synthesis technique with good electrochemical performance shows that the Mn3O4 nanoparticle anode has the potential for SIB development.
