Membranes of MnO Beading in Carbon Nanofibers as Flexible Anodes for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Freestanding yet flexible membranes of MnO/carbon nanofibers are successfully fabricated through incorporating MnO2 nanowires into polymer solution by a facile electrospinning technique. During the stabilization and carbonization processes of the as-spun membranes, MnO2 nanowires are transformed to MnO nanoparticles coincided with a conversion of the polymer from an amorphous state to a graphitic structure of carbon nanofibers. The hybrids consist of isolated MnO nanoparticles beading in the porous carbon and demonstrate superior performance when being used as a binder-free anode for lithium-ion batteries. With an optimized amount of MnO (34.6 wt%), the anode exhibits a reversible capacity of as high as 987.3 mAh g(-1) after 150 discharge/charge cycles at 0.1 A g(-1), a good rate capability (406.1 mAh g(-1) at 3 A g(-1)) and an excellent cycling performance (655 mAh g(-1) over 280 cycles at 0.5 A g(-1)). Furthermore, the hybrid anode maintains a good electrochemical performance at bending state as a flexible electrode.

Self-Assembled Porous-Silica within N-Doped Carbon Nanofibers as Ultra-flexible Anodes for Soft Lithium Batteries.

Project description:Silica is an attractive anode material for soft lithium batteries owing to its high specific capacity, but it suffers severe problems of large volume change and unstable solid-electrolyte interface. Moreover, it is a challenge to fabricate flexible silica anodes. Here, we report a low-cost and scalable strategy to create flexible anodes of N-doped carbon nanofiber-confined porous silica (p-SiO2@N-CNF) by developing a sol-gel electrospinning process followed by carbonization. This approach causes the p-SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) to be self-assembled within the N-CNFs, which act like elastomer and electrolyte barrier to accommodate volume changes and to enhance the stability of SiO2, whereas the NPs act as soft plasticizer providing strength to the CNF skeletons. Benefiting from the hierarchical structures, the anodes with high p-SiO2 loadings (>1.6 mg/cm2) exhibit exceptional cycling performance (>1,000 cycles) in terms of bending, current rate, and capacity. Moreover, the batteries remain stable when discharging at 0.5 C and charging at 2 C.

Encapsulation of MnO nanocrystals in electrospun carbon nanofibers as high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:A novel and controllable approach is developed for the synthesis of MnO nanocrystals embedded in carbon nanofibers (MnO/CNFs) through an electrospinning process. The as-formed MnO/CNFs have a porous structure with diameters of 100-200 nm and lengths up to several millimeters. When used as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the resulting MnO/CNFs exhibit superior electrochemical performances with high specific capacity, good cyclability, and excellent rate capability. The unique porous carbon nanofibers (PCNFs) can not only improve the contact area between the electrode and the electrolyte, but also alleviate the impact of the large volume effect of MnO during the electrochemical cycling. It is expected that the present synthetic strategy can be extended to synthesize other nanostructured oxides encapsulated in carbon nanofibers for extensive energy transfer and storage applications.

Flexible membranes of MoS2/C nanofibers by electrospinning as binder-free anodes for high-performance sodium-ion batteries.

Project description:A flexible membrane consisting of MoS2/carbon nanofibers has been fabricated by a simple electrospinning method. MoS2 nanosheets are uniformly encapsulated in the inter-connected carbon nanofibers with diameters of ~150 nm. When evaluated as a binder-free electrode for sodium-ion batteries, the as-obtained electrode demonstrates high performances, including high reversible capacity of 381.7 mA h g(-1) at 100 mA g(-1) and superior rate capability (283.3, 246.5 and 186.3 mA h g(-1) at 0.5, 1 and 2 A g(-1), respectively). Most importantly, the binder-free electrode made of MoS2 and carbon nanofibers can still deliver a charge capacity of 283.9 mA h g(-1) after 600 cycles at a current density of 100 m A g(-1), indicating a very promising anode for long-life SIBs.

Heteroatom Doped-Carbon Nanospheres as Anodes in Lithium Ion Batteries.

Project description:Long cycle performance is a crucial requirement in energy storage devices. New formulations and/or improvement of "conventional" materials have been investigated in order to achieve this target. Here we explore the performance of a novel type of carbon nanospheres (CNSs) with three heteroatom co-doped (nitrogen, phosphorous and sulfur) and high specific surface area as anode materials for lithium ion batteries. The CNSs were obtained from carbonization of highly-crosslinked organo (phosphazene) nanospheres (OPZs) of 300 nm diameter. The OPZs were synthesized via a single and facile step of polycondensation reaction between hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) and 4,4'-sulphonyldiphenol (BPS). The X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed a high heteroatom-doping content in the structure of CNSs while the textural evaluation from the N₂ sorption isotherms revealed the presence of micro- and mesopores and a high specific surface area of 875 m²/g. The CNSs anode showed remarkable stability and coulombic efficiency in a long charge-discharge cycling up to 1000 cycles at 1C rate, delivering about 130 mA·h·g-1. This study represents a step toward smart engineering of inexpensive materials with practical applications for energy devices.

Functionalized germanane/SWCNT hybrid films as flexible anodes for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Germanium, with a high theoretical capacity based on alloyed lithium and germanium (1384 mA h g-1 Li15Ge4), has stimulated tremendous research as a promising candidate anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, due to the alloying reaction of Li/Ge, the problems of inferior cycle life and massive volume expansion of germanium are equally obvious. Among all Ge-based materials, the unique layered 2D germanane (GeH and GeCH3) with a graphene-like structure, obtained by a chemical etching process from the Zintl phase CaGe2, could enable storage of large quantities of lithium between their interlayers. Besides, the layered structure has the merit of buffering the volume expansion due to the tunable interlayer spacing. In this work, the beyond theoretical capacities of 1637 mA h g-1 for GeH and 2048 mA h g-1 for GeCH3 were achieved in the initial lithiation reaction. Unfortunately, the dreadful capacity fading and electrode fracture happened during the subsequent electrochemical process. A solution, i.e. introducing single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) into the structure of the electrodes, was found and further confirmed to improve their electrochemical performance. More noteworthy is the GeH/SWCNT flexible electrode, which exhibits a capacity of 1032.0 mA h g-1 at a high current density of 2000 mA g-1 and a remaining capacity of 653.6 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 500 mA g-1. After 100 cycles, the hybrid germanane/SWCNT electrodes maintained good integrity without visible fractures. These results indicate that introducing SWCNTs into germanane effectively improves the electrochemical performance and maintains the integrity of the electrodes for LIBs.

Lithium Titanate/Carbon Nanotubes Composites Processed by Ultrasound Irradiation as Anodes for Lithium Ion Batteries.

Project description:In this work, lithium titanate nanoparticles (nLTO)/single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) composite electrodes are prepared by the combination of an ultrasound irradiation and ultrasonic spray deposition methods. It was found that a mass fraction of 15% carbon nanotubes optimizes the electrochemical performance of nLTO electrodes. These present capacities as high as 173, 130, 110 and 70 mAh.g-1 at 0.1C, 1C, 10C and 100C, respectively. Moreover, after 1000 cycles at 1C, the nLTO/SWCNT composites present a capacity loss of just 9% and a Coulombic efficiency of 99.8%. Therefore, the presented methodology might be extended to other suitable active materials in order to manufacture binder free electrodes with optimal energy storage capabilities.

Flexible MnO nanoparticle-anchored N-doped porous carbon nanofiber interlayers for superior performance lithium metal anodes.

Project description:The mounting requirements for electric apparatus and vehicles stimulate the rapid progress of energy storage systems. Lithium (Li) metal is regarded as one of the most prospective anodes for high-performance cells. However, the uneven dendrite growth is one of the primary conundrums that hampers the use of the Li metal anode in rechargeable Li batteries. Achieving even Li deposition is crucial to solve this concern. In this study, a stable interlayer based on electrospun flexible MnO nanoparticle/nitrogen (N)-doped (polyimide) PI-based porous carbon nanofiber (MnO-PCNF) films was effectively prepared via electrospinning and in situ growth of MnO to reduce the growth of Li dendrites. It is revealed that the attraction of implanted MnO towards Li, the lithiophilic nature of N dopants and the capillary force of porous architectures are beneficial to the preeminent Li wettability of the MnO-PCNF interlayer. Furthermore, the wettable, stable and conductive structure of the MnO-PCNF interlayer can be retained well, offering rapid charge transfer to Li redox reactions, reduced local current density during the cycling process and homogeneous distribution of deposited Li. Consequently, anodes with MnO-PCNF interlayers can relieve the volume change and inhibit the growth of Li dendrites, demonstrating a remarkable lifetime for lithium metal cells at high current.

Growth of hierarchal mesoporous NiO nanosheets on carbon cloth as binder-free anodes for high-performance flexible lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Mesoporous NiO nanosheets were directly grown on three-dimensional (3D) carbon cloth substrate, which can be used as binder-free anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). These mesoporous nanosheets were interconnected with each other and forming a network with interval voids, which give rise to large surface area and efficient buffering of the volume change. The integrated hierarchical electrode maintains all the advantageous features of directly building two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures on 3D conductive substrate, such as short diffusion length, strain relaxation and fast electron transport. As the LIB anode, it presents a high reversible capacity of 892.6 mAh g(-1) after 120 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g(-1) and 758.1 mAh g(-1) at a high charging rate of 700 mA g(-1) after 150 cycles. As demonstrated in this work, the hierarchical NiO nanosheets/carbon cloth also shows high flexibility, which can be directly used as the anode to build flexible LIBs. The introduced facile and low-cost method to prepare NiO nanosheets on flexible and conductive carbon cloth substrate is promising for the fabrication of high performance energy storage devices, especially for next-generation wearable electronic devices.

Coaxial Electrospinning Construction Si@C Core-Shell Nanofibers for Advanced Flexible Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Silicon (Si) is expected to be a high-energy anode for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the large volume change along with the severe capacity degradation during the cycling process is still a barrier for its practical application. Herein, we successfully construct flexible silicon/carbon nanofibers with a core-shell structure via a facile coaxial electrospinning technique. The resultant Si@C nanofibers (Si@C NFs) are composed of a hard carbon shell and the Si-embedded amorphous carbon core framework demonstrates an initial reversible capacity of 1162.8 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 with a retained capacity of 762.0 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles. In addition, flexible LIBs assembled with Si@C NFs were hardly impacted under an extreme bending state, illustrating excellent electrochemical performance. The impressive performances are attributed to the high electric conductivity and structural stability of the porous carbon fibers with a hierarchical porous structure, indicating that the novel Si@C NFs fabricated using this electrospinning technique have great potential for advanced flexible energy storage.
