Porous iron oxide ribbons grown on graphene for high-performance lithium storage.

ABSTRACT: A well-designed nanostructure of transition metal oxides has been regarded as a key to solve their problems of large volume changes during lithium insertion-desertion processes which are associated with pulverization of the electrodes and rapid capacity decay. Here we report an effective approach for the fabrication of porous iron oxide ribbons by controlling the nucleation and growth of iron precursor onto the graphene surface and followed by an annealing treatment. The resultant iron oxide ribbons possess large aspect ratio, porous structure, thin feature and enhanced open-edges. These characteristics are favorable for the fast diffusion of lithium ions and electrons, and meanwhile can effectively accommodate the volume change of iron oxides during the cycling processes. As a consequence, the graphene-induced porous iron oxide ribbons exhibit a high reversible capacity and excellent cycle stability for lithium storage.

Polyoxomolybdate-Polypyrrole/Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite as High-Capacity Electrodes for Lithium Storage.

Project description:A nanocomposite polyoxomolybdate (PMo12)-polypyrrole (PPy)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is fabricated by using a simple one-pot hydrothermal method as an electrode material for lithium-ion batteries. This facile strategy skillfully ensures that individual polyoxometalate (POM) molecules are uniformly immobilized on the RGO surfaces because of the wrapping of polypyrrole (PPy), which avoids the desorption and dissolution of POMs during cycling. The unique architecture endows the PMo12-PPy/RGO with the lithium storage behavior of a hybrid battery-supercapacitor electrode: the nanocomposite with a lithium storage capacity delivers up to 1000 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 50 cycles. Moreover, it still demonstrates an outstanding rate capability and a long cycle life (372.4 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 400 cycles). The reversible capacity of this nanocomposite has surpassed most pristine POMs and POMs-based electrode materials reported to date.

Leaf-Like Graphene-Oxide-Wrapped Sulfur for High-Performance Lithium-Sulfur Battery.

Project description:Carbon/sulfur composites are attracting extensive attention because of their improved performances for Li-S batteries. However, the achievements are generally based on the low S-content in the composites and the low S-loading on the electrode. Herein, a leaf-like graphene oxide (GO), which includes an inherent carbon nanotube midrib in the GO plane, is synthesized for preparing GO/S composites. Owing to the inherent high conductivity of carbon nanotube midribs and the abundant surface groups of GO for S-immobilization, the composite with an S-content of 60 wt% exhibits ultralong cycling stability over 1000 times with a low capacity decay of 0.033% per cycle and a high rate up to 4C. When the S-content is increased to 75 wt%, the composite still shows a perfect cycling performance over 1000 cycles. Even with the high S-loading of 2.7 mg cm-2 on the electrode and the high S-content of 85 wt%, it still shows a promising cycling performance over 600 cycles.

Phase-Controlled Iron Oxide Nanobox Deposited on Hierarchically Structured Graphene Networks for Lithium Ion Storage and Photocatalysis.

Project description:The phase control, hierarchical architecturing and hybridization of iron oxide is important for achieving multifunctional capability for many practical applications. Herein, hierarchically structured reduced graphene oxide (hrGO)/?-Fe2O3 and ?-Fe3O4 nanobox hybrids (hrGO/?-Fe and hrGO/?-Fe NBhs) are synthesized via a one-pot, hydrothermal process and their functionality controlled by the crystalline phases is adapted for energy storage and photocatalysis. The three-dimensionally (3D) macroporous structure of hrGO/?-Fe NBhs is constructed, while ?-Fe2O3 nanoboxes (NBs) in a proximate contact with the hrGO surface are simultaneously grown during a hydrothermal treatment. The discrete ?-Fe2O3 NBs are uniformly distributed on the surface of the hrGO/?-Fe and confined in the 3D architecture, thereby inhibiting the restacking of rGO. After the subsequent phase transition into ?-Fe3O4, the hierarchical structure and the uniform distribution of NBs are preserved. Despite lower initial capacity, the hrGO/?-Fe NBhs show better rate and cyclic performances than those of commercial rGO/?-Fe due to the uniform distribution of discrete ?-Fe2O3 NBs and electronic conductivity, macroporosity, and buffering effect of the hrGO for lithium ion battery anodes. Moreover, the catalytic activity and kinetics of hrGO/?-Fe NBhs are enhanced for photo-Fenton reaction because of the uniform distribution of discrete ?-Fe3O4 NBs on the 3D hierarchical architecture.

3D hierarchical porous graphene aerogel with tunable meso-pores on graphene nanosheets for high-performance energy storage.

Project description:New and novel 3D hierarchical porous graphene aerogels (HPGA) with uniform and tunable meso-pores (e.g., 21 and 53 nm) on graphene nanosheets (GNS) were prepared by a hydrothermal self-assembly process and an in-situ carbothermal reaction. The size and distribution of the meso-pores on the individual GNS were uniform and could be tuned by controlling the sizes of the Co3O4 NPs used in the hydrothermal reaction. This unique architecture of HPGA prevents the stacking of GNS and promises more electrochemically active sites that enhance the electrochemical storage level significantly. HPGA, as a lithium-ion battery anode, exhibited superior electrochemical performance, including a high reversible specific capacity of 1100 mAh/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g, outstanding cycling stability and excellent rate performance. Even at a large current density of 20 A/g, the reversible capacity was retained at 300 mAh/g, which is larger than that of most porous carbon-based anodes reported, suggesting it to be a promising candidate for energy storage. The proposed 3D HPGA is expected to provide an important platform that can promote the development of 3D topological porous systems in a range of energy storage and generation fields.

MOF-derived multifractal porous carbon with ultrahigh lithium-ion storage performance.

Project description:Porous carbon is one of the most promising alternatives to traditional graphite materials in lithium-ion batteries. This is not only attributed to its advantages of good safety, stability and electrical conductivity, which are held by all the carbon-based electrodes, but also especially ascribed to its relatively high capacity and excellent cycle stability. Here we report the design and synthesis of a highly porous pure carbon material with multifractal structures. This material is prepared by the vacuum carbonization of a zinc-based metal-organic framework, which demonstrates an ultrahigh lithium storage capacity of 2458 mAh g-1 and a favorable high-rate performance. The associations between the structural features and the lithium storage mechanism are also revealed by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), especially the closed pore effects on lithium-ion storage.

Porous Multicomponent Mn-Sn-Co Oxide Microspheres as Anodes for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Porous multicomponent Mn-Sn-Co oxide microspheres (MnSnO3-MC400 and MnSnO3-MC500) have been fabricated using CoSn(OH)6 nanocubes as templates via controlling pyrolysis of a CoSn(OH)6/Mn0.5Co0.5CO3 precursor at different temperatures in N2. During the pyrolysis process of CoSn(OH)6/Mn0.5Co0.5CO3 from 400 to 500 °C, the part of (Co,Mn)(Co,Mn)2O4 converts into MnCo2O4 accompanied with structural transformation. The MnSnO3-MC400 and MnSnO3-MC500 microspheres as secondary nanomaterials consist of MnSnO3, MnCo2O4, and (Co,Mn)(Co,Mn)2O4. Benefiting from the advantages of multicomponent synergy and porous secondary nanomaterials, the MnSnO3-MC400 and MnSnO3-MC500 microspheres as anodes exhibit the specific capacities of 1030 and 750 mA h g-1 until 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1 without an obvious capacity decay, respectively.

Copper ferrites@reduced graphene oxide anode materials for advanced lithium storage applications.

Project description:Copper ferrites are emerging transition metal oxides that have potential applications in energy storage devices. However, it still lacks in-depth designing of copper ferrites based anode architectures with enhanced electroactivity for lithium-ion batteries. Here, we report a facile synthesis technology of copper ferrites anchored on reduced graphene oxide (CuFeO2@rGO and Cu/CuFe2O4@rGO) as the high-performance electrodes. In the resulting configuration, reduced graphene offers continuous conductive channels for electron/ion transfer and high specific surface area to accommodate the volume expansion of copper ferrites. Consequently, the sheet-on-sheet CuFeO2@rGO electrode exhibits a high reversible capacity (587?mAh?g-1 after 100 cycles at 200?mA?g-1). In particular, Cu/CuFe2O4@rGO hybrid, which combines the advantages of nano-copper and reduced graphene, manifests a significant enhancement in lithium storage properties. It reveals superior rate capability (723?mAh?g-1 at 800?mA?g-1; 560?mAh?g-1 at 3200?mA?g-1) and robust cycling capability (1102?mAh?g-1 after 250 cycles at 800?mA?g-1). This unique structure design provides a strategy for the development of multivalent metal oxides in lithium storage device applications.

Porous Graphene Microflowers for High-Performance Microwave Absorption.

Project description:Graphene has shown great potential in microwave absorption (MA) owing to its high surface area, low density, tunable electrical conductivity and good chemical stability. To fully realize graphene's MA ability, the microstructure of graphene should be carefully addressed. Here we prepared graphene microflowers (Gmfs) with highly porous structure for high-performance MA filler material. The efficient absorption bandwidth (reflection loss ≤ -10 dB) reaches 5.59 GHz and the minimum reflection loss is up to -42.9 dB, showing significant increment compared with stacked graphene. Such performance is higher than most graphene-based materials in the literature. Besides, the low filling content (10 wt%) and low density (40-50 mg cm-3) are beneficial for the practical applications. Without compounding with magnetic materials or conductive polymers, Gmfs show outstanding MA performance with the aid of rational microstructure design. Furthermore, Gmfs exhibit advantages in facile processibility and large-scale production compared with other porous graphene materials including aerogels and foams.

Preparation of Activated Carbon Doped with Graphene Oxide Porous Materials and Their High Gas Adsorption Performance.

Project description:It is still a great challenge to develop a new porous carbon adsorbent with excellent separation performance and to recover low-concentration CH4 in coal mine gas. This work provides a new idea for the study of CH4 adsorption on activated carbon (AC) composites. Composite materials with microporous structures were prepared from coconut-shell activated carbon (CAC) doped with graphene oxide (GO) by a chemical activation process in this paper. The expansion and dissociation of GO at high temperatures indirectly improve the specific surface area (SSA) of the composite. The interlayer aggregation is reduced, the activation effect is improved, and a new low-cost adsorption material is prepared. The SSA of CAC-50 is more than 3000 m2·g-1. A high SSA and a narrow pore size distribution lead to a higher total adsorption capacity of CH4. The breakthrough test also confirmed that AC/GOs had a better adsorption capacity for CH4. The separation performance of the CH4/N2 mixture is not good at room temperature, which is due to the influence of a high SSA and average pore size. As a low-cost and rich material, CAC has a wide range of application prospects. The composite is a potential material for recovering low-concentration CH4 from the coal mine, which is worthy of attention. In the future, the selectivity of AC/GOs to CH4 can be increased by loading functional groups or modification.

Caging tin oxide in three-dimensional graphene networks for superior volumetric lithium storage.

Project description:Tin and its compounds hold promise for the development of high-capacity anode materials that could replace graphitic carbon used in current lithium-ion batteries. However, the introduced porosity in current electrode designs to buffer the volume changes of active materials during cycling does not afford high volumetric performance. Here, we show a strategy leveraging a sulfur sacrificial agent for controlled utility of void space in a tin oxide/graphene composite anode. In a typical synthesis using the capillary drying of graphene hydrogels, sulfur is employed with hard tin oxide nanoparticles inside the contraction hydrogels. The resultant graphene-caged tin oxide delivers an ultrahigh volumetric capacity of 2123?mAh?cm-3 together with good cycling stability. Our results suggest not only a conversion-type composite anode that allows for good electrochemical characteristics, but also a general synthetic means to engineering the packing density of graphene nanosheets for high energy storage capabilities in small volumes.
