Facile Synthesis of Coaxial CNTs/MnOx-Carbon Hybrid Nanofibers and Their Greatly Enhanced Lithium Storage Performance.

ABSTRACT: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/MnOx-Carbon hybrid nanofibers have been successfully synthesized by the combination of a liquid chemical redox reaction (LCRR) and a subsequent carbonization heat treatment. The nanostructures exhibit a unique one-dimensional core/shell architecture, with one-dimensional CNTs encapsulated inside and a MnOx-carbon composite nanoparticle layer on the outside. The particular porous characteristics with many meso/micro holes/pores, the highly conductive one-dimensional CNT core, as well as the encapsulating carbon matrix on the outside of the MnOx nanoparticles, lead to excellent electrochemical performance of the electrode. The CNTs/MnOx-Carbon hybrid nanofibers exhibit a high initial reversible capacity of 762.9 mAhg(-1), a high reversible specific capacity of 560.5 mAhg(-1) after 100 cycles, and excellent cycling stability and rate capability, with specific capacity of 396.2 mAhg(-1) when cycled at the current density of 1000 mAg(-1), indicating that the CNTs/MnOx-Carbon hybrid nanofibers are a promising anode candidate for Li-ion batteries.

Deeply Cyclable and Ultrahigh-Rate Lithium Metal Anodes Enabled by Coaxial Nanochamber Heterojunction on Carbon Nanofibers.

Project description:Lithium metal anodes (LMAs) are the most promising candidates for high-energy-density batteries due to the high theoretical specific capacity and lowest potential. However, the practical application of LMAs is hampered by the short lifespan and unsatisfactory lithium utilization (<50%). An oxide-oxide heterojunction enhanced with nanochamber structure design is proposed to improve lithium utilization and cycling performance of LMA under ultrahigh rates. Typically, a MnO2 -ZnO heterojunction provides high binding energy for strong absorption of Li-ions and intimately bonded interfaces for fast transfer of electrons. Under the guidance of the smooth Li-ion migration and rapid electron flow, the Li metal can be restricted as thin layers within submicro scale in nanochambers with constrain boundary and stress dissipation, inhibiting the local agglomeration and blocking. Thus, the lithiophilic active sites can be effectively exposed to the Li-ions within submicro scale, improving the reversible conversion for high lithium utilization during long-term cycling. As such, the Li@MnZnO/CNF electrode achieves a high lithium utilization of 70% at a record-high current density of 50 mA cm-2 with areal capacity of 10 mAh cm-2 . This work offers an avenue to improve lithium utilization for long-lifespan LMAs working under high current densities and capacities.

Integrating TiO₂/SiO₂ into Electrospun Carbon Nanofibers towards Superior Lithium Storage Performance.

Project description:In order to overcome the poor electrical conductivity of titania (TiO₂) and silica (SiO₂) anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), we herein report a facile preparation of integrated titania⁻silica⁻carbon (TSC) nanofibers via electrospinning and subsequent heat-treatment. Both titania and silica are successfully embedded into the conductive N-doped carbon nanofibers, and they synergistically reinforce the overall strength of the TSC nanofibers after annealing (Note that titania⁻carbon or silica⁻carbon nanofibers cannot be obtained under the same condition). When applied as an anode for LIBs, the TSC nanofiber electrode shows superior cycle stability (502 mAh/g at 100 mA/g after 300 cycles) and high rate capability (572, 518, 421, 334, and 232 mAh/g each after 10 cycles at 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 mA/g, respectively). Our results demonstrate that integration of titania/silica into N-doped carbon nanofibers greatly enhances the electrode conductivity and the overall structural stability of the TSC nanofibers upon repeated lithiation/delithiation cycling.

Encapsulating MoO2 Nanocrystals into Flexible Carbon Nanofibers via Electrospinning for High-Performance Lithium Storage.

Project description:Design and synthesis of flexible and self-supporting electrode materials in high-performance lithium storage is significant for applications in the field of smart wearable devices. Herein, flexible carbon nanofiber membranes with uniformly distributed molybdenum dioxide (MoO2) nanocrystals are fabricated by a needlefree electrospinning method combined with the subsequent carbonization process, which exhibits outstanding structural stability under abrasion and deformation. The as-fabricated lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) exhibit a high discharge of 450 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 2000 mA g-1 by using the MoO2/C nanofiber membrane as the self-supporting anode. Further, the nanofibers structure remains intact after 500 cycles, which reflects the excellent stability of the materials. This study provides a simple and effective method for the preparation of MoO2/C nanofiber materials, which can not only maintain its excellent electrochemical and physical properties, but also easily realize large-scale production. It is undoubtedly beneficial for the development of flexible LIBs and smart wearable devices.

Facile synthesis of hybrid CNTs/NiCo2S4 composite for high performance supercapacitors.

Project description:In this work, a novel carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/NiCo2S4 composite for high performance supercapacitors was prepared via a simple chemical bath deposition combined with a post-anion exchange reaction. The morphologies and phase structures of the composites were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (Raman), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and low-temperature sorption of nitrogen (BET). The electro-chemical tests revealed that the CNT/NiCo2S4 composite exhibited high electrochemical performance, because the CNTs were used as a conductive network for the NiCo2S4 hexagonal nanoplates. Compared with pure NiCo2S4 and the mechanically mixed CNTs/NiCo2S4 composite, the CNTs/NiCo2S4 composite electrode material exhibited excellent supercapacitive performance, such as a high specific capacitance up to 1537 F/g (discharge current density of 1 A/g) and an outstanding rate capability of 78.1% retention as the discharge current density increased to 100 A/g. It is therefore expected to be a promising alternative material in the area of energy storage.

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.

Enhanced Lithium Storage Performance of α-MoO3/CNTs Composite Cathode.

Project description:Orthorhombic molybdenum oxide (α-MoO3), as a one-layered pseudocapacitive material, has attracted widespread attention due to its high theoretical lithium storage specific capacity (279 mAh/g) for lithium-ion batteries' cathode. Nevertheless, low conductivity, slack reaction kinetics, and large volume change during Li+ ions intercalation and deintercalation seriously limit the practical application of α-MoO3. Herein, we added a small number of CNTs (1.76%) to solve these problems in a one-step hydrothermal process for preparing the α-MoO3/CNTs composite. Because of the influence of CNTs, the α-MoO3 nanobelt in the α-MoO3/CNTs composite had a larger interlayer spacing, which provided more active sites and faster reaction kinetics for lithium storage. In addition, CNTs formed a three-dimensional conductive network between α-MoO3 nanobelts, enhanced the electrical conductivity of the composite, accelerated the electron conduction, shortened the ion transport path, and alleviated the structural fragmentation caused by the volume expansion during the α-MoO3 intercalation and deintercalation of Li+ ions. Therefore, the α-MoO3/CNTs composite cathode had a significantly higher rate performance and cycle life. After 150 cycles, the pure α-MoO3 cathode had almost no energy storage, but α-MoO3/CNTs composite cathode still retained 93 mAh/g specific capacity.

Chemical vapor deposition growth of carbon nanotube confined nickel sulfides from porous electrospun carbon nanofibers and their superior lithium storage properties.

Project description:Multidimensional architecture design is a promising strategy to explore unique physicochemical characteristics by synergistically integrating different structural and compositional materials. Herein, we report the facile synthesis of a novel dendritic hybrid architecture, where carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with nickel sulfide nanoparticles encapsulated inside are epitaxially grown out of the porous electrospun N-doped carbon nanofibers (CNFs) (denoted as CNT@NS@CNFs) through a combined strategy of electrospinning and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The adopted thiophene (C4H4S) not only serves as a carbon source for the growth of CNTs but also as a sulfur source for the sulfurization of Ni particles and S-doping into carbon matrices. When examined as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the dendritic CNT@NS@CNFs display superior lithium storage properties including good cycle stability and high rate capability, delivering a high reversible capacity of 630 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 200 cycles and 277 mA h g-1 at a high rate of 1000 mA g-1. These outstanding electrochemical properties can be attributed to the novel hybrid architecture, in which the encapsulation of nickel sulfide nanoparticles within the CNT/CNFs not only efficiently buffers the volume changes upon lithiation/delithiation, but also facilitates charge transfer and electrolyte diffusion owing to the highly conductive networks with open frame structures.

Long-life lithium-sulfur batteries with high areal capacity based on coaxial CNTs@TiN-TiO2 sponge.

Project description:Rational design of heterostructures opens up new opportunities as an ideal catalyst system for lithium polysulfides conversion in lithium-sulfur battery. However, its traditional fabrication process is complex, which makes it difficult to reasonably control the content and distribution of each component. In this work, to rationally design the heterostructure, the atomic layer deposition is utilized to hybridize the TiO2-TiN heterostructure with the three-dimensional carbon nanotube sponge. Through optimizing the deposited thickness of TiO2 and TiN layers and adopting the annealing post-treatment, the derived coaxial sponge with uniform TiN-TiO2 heterostructure exhibits the best catalytic ability. The corresponding lithium-sulfur battery shows enhanced electrochemical performance with high specific capacity of 1289 mAh g-1 at 1 C and capacity retention of 85% after 500 cycles at 2 C. Furthermore, benefiting from the highly porous structure and interconnected conductive pathways from the sponge, its areal capacity reaches up to 21.5 mAh cm-2.

Synthesis of coaxial carbon@NiMoO4 composite nanofibers for supercapacitor electrodes.

Project description:This work reports the synthesis of coaxial carbon@NiMoO4 nanofibers for supercapacitor electrode applications. Thin NiMoO4 nanosheets are uniformly coated on the conductive electrospun carbon nanofibers by a microwave assisted hydrothermal method to form a hierarchical structure, which increases the porosity as well as the conductivity of the electrode. The thickness of the NiMoO4 can be easily adjusted by varying the precursor concentrations. The high specific surface area (over 280 m2 g-1) and conductive carbon nanofiber backbone increase the utilization of the active pseudocapacitive NiMoO4 phase, resulting a high specific capacitance of 1840 F g-1.
