High power rechargeable magnesium/iodine battery chemistry.

ABSTRACT: Rechargeable magnesium batteries have attracted considerable attention because of their potential high energy density and low cost. However, their development has been severely hindered because of the lack of appropriate cathode materials. Here we report a rechargeable magnesium/iodine battery, in which the soluble iodine reacts with Mg²⁺ to form a soluble intermediate and then an insoluble final product magnesium iodide. The liquid-solid two-phase reaction pathway circumvents solid-state Mg²⁺ diffusion and ensures a large interfacial reaction area, leading to fast reaction kinetics and high reaction reversibility. As a result, the rechargeable magnesium/iodine battery shows a better rate capability (180 mAh g^-1 at 0.5 C and 140 mAh g^-1 at 1 C) and a higher energy density (∼400 Wh kg^-1) than all other reported rechargeable magnesium batteries using intercalation cathodes. This study demonstrates that the liquid-solid two-phase reaction mechanism is promising in addressing the kinetic limitation of rechargeable magnesium batteries.

A rechargeable iodine-carbon battery that exploits ion intercalation and iodine redox chemistry.

Project description:Graphitic carbons have been used as conductive supports for developing rechargeable batteries. However, the classic ion intercalation in graphitic carbon has yet to be coupled with extrinsic redox reactions to develop rechargeable batteries. Herein, we demonstrate the preparation of a free-standing, flexible nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped hierarchically porous graphitic carbon for iodine loading by pyrolysis of polyaniline coated cellulose wiper. We find that heteroatoms could provide additional defect sites for encapsulating iodine while the porous carbon skeleton facilitates redox reactions of iodine and ion intercalation. The combination of ion intercalation with redox reactions of iodine allows for developing rechargeable iodine-carbon batteries free from the unsafe lithium/sodium metals, and hence eliminates the long-standing safety issue. The unique architecture of the hierarchically porous graphitic carbon with heteroatom doping not only provides suitable spaces for both iodine encapsulation and cation intercalation but also generates efficient electronic and ionic transport pathways, thus leading to enhanced performance.Carbon-based electrodes able to intercalate Li+ and Na+ ions have been exploited for high performing energy storage devices. Here, the authors combine the ion intercalation properties of porous graphitic carbons with the redox chemistry of iodine to produce iodine-carbon batteries with high reversible capacities.

Hybrid system for rechargeable magnesium battery with high energy density.

Project description:One of the main challenges of electrical energy storage (EES) is the development of environmentally friendly battery systems with high safety and high energy density. Rechargeable Mg batteries have been long considered as one highly promising system due to the use of low cost and dendrite-free magnesium metal. The bottleneck for traditional Mg batteries is to achieve high energy density since their output voltage is below 2.0 V. Here, we report a magnesium battery using Mg in Grignard reagent-based electrolyte as the negative electrode, a lithium intercalation compound in aqueous solution as the positive electrode, and a solid electrolyte as a separator. Its average discharge voltage is 2.1 V with stable discharge platform and good cycling life. The calculated energy density based on the two electrodes is high. These findings open another door to rechargeable magnesium batteries.

High energy density rechargeable magnesium battery using earth-abundant and non-toxic elements.

Project description:Rechargeable magnesium batteries are poised to be viable candidates for large-scale energy storage devices in smart grid communities and electric vehicles. However, the energy density of previously proposed rechargeable magnesium batteries is low, limited mainly by the cathode materials. Here, we present new design approaches for the cathode in order to realize a high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium battery system. Ion-exchanged MgFeSiO4 demonstrates a high reversible capacity exceeding 300 Ah · g(-1) at a voltage of approximately 2.4 V vs. Mg. Further, the electronic and crystal structure of ion-exchanged MgFeSiO4 changes during the charging and discharging processes, which demonstrates the (de)insertion of magnesium in the host structure. The combination of ion-exchanged MgFeSiO4 with a magnesium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide-triglyme electrolyte system proposed in this work provides a low-cost and practical rechargeable magnesium battery with high energy density, free from corrosion and safety problems.

An Efficient Rechargeable Aluminium-Amine Battery Working Under Quaternization Chemistry.

Project description:Rechargeable aluminium (Al) batteries (RABs) have long-been pursued due to the high sustainability and three-electron-transfer properties of Al metal. However, limited redox chemistry is available for rechargeable Al batteries, which restricts the exploration of cathode materials. Herein, we demonstrate an efficient Al-amine battery based on a quaternization reaction, in which nitrogen (radical) cations (R3 N.+ or R4 N+ ) are formed to store the anionic Al complex. The reactive aromatic amine molecules further oligomerize during cycling, inhibiting amine dissolution into the electrolyte. Consequently, the constructed Al-amine battery exhibits a high reversible capacity of 135 mAh g-1 along with a superior cycling life (4000 cycles), fast charge capability and a high energy efficiency of 94.2 %. Moreover, the Al-amine battery shows excellent stability against self-discharge, far beyond conventional Al-graphite batteries. Our findings pave an avenue to advance the chemistry of RABs and thus battery performance.

A rechargeable aqueous manganese-ion battery based on intercalation chemistry.

Project description:Aqueous rechargeable metal batteries are intrinsically safe due to the utilization of low-cost and non-flammable water-based electrolyte solutions. However, the discharge voltages of these electrochemical energy storage systems are often limited, thus, resulting in unsatisfactory energy density. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to investigate alternative aqueous metal battery systems to improve the discharge voltage. Herein, we report reversible manganese-ion intercalation chemistry in an aqueous electrolyte solution, where inorganic and organic compounds act as positive electrode active materials for Mn2+ storage when coupled with a Mn/carbon composite negative electrode. In one case, the layered Mn0.18V2O5·nH2O inorganic cathode demonstrates fast and reversible Mn2+ insertion/extraction due to the large lattice spacing, thus, enabling adequate power performances and stable cycling behavior. In the other case, the tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone organic cathode molecules undergo enolization during charge/discharge processes, thus, contributing to achieving a stable cell discharge plateau at about 1.37 V. Interestingly, the low redox potential of the Mn/Mn2+ redox couple vs. standard hydrogen electrode (i.e., -1.19 V) enables the production of aqueous manganese metal cells with operational voltages higher than their zinc metal counterparts.

Coordination chemistry in magnesium battery electrolytes: how ligands affect their performance.

Project description:Magnesium battery is potentially a safe, cost-effective, and high energy density technology for large scale energy storage. However, the development of magnesium battery has been hindered by the limited performance and the lack of fundamental understandings of electrolytes. Here, we present a study in understanding coordination chemistry of Mg(BH?)? in ethereal solvents. The O donor denticity, i.e. ligand strength of the ethereal solvents which act as ligands to form solvated Mg complexes, plays a significant role in enhancing coulombic efficiency of the corresponding solvated Mg complex electrolytes. A new electrolyte is developed based on Mg(BH?)?, diglyme and LiBH?. The preliminary electrochemical test results show that the new electrolyte demonstrates a close to 100% coulombic efficiency, no dendrite formation, and stable cycling performance for Mg plating/stripping and Mg insertion/de-insertion in a model cathode material Mo?S? Chevrel phase.

Rechargeable magnesium-ion battery based on a TiSe2-cathode with d-p orbital hybridized electronic structure.

Project description:Rechargeable ion-batteries, in which ions such as Li(+) carry charges between electrodes, have been contributing to the improvement of power-source performance in a wide variety of mobile electronic devices. Among them, Mg-ion batteries are recently attracting attention due to possible low cost and safety, which are realized by abundant natural resources and stability of Mg in the atmosphere. However, only a few materials have been known to work as rechargeable cathodes for Mg-ion batteries, owing to strong electrostatic interaction between Mg(2+) and the host lattice. Here we demonstrate rechargeable performance of Mg-ion batteries at ambient temperature by selecting TiSe2 as a model cathode by focusing on electronic structure. Charge delocalization of electrons in a metal-ligand unit through d-p orbital hybridization is suggested as a possible key factor to realize reversible intercalation of Mg(2+) into TiSe2. The viewpoint from the electronic structure proposed in this study might pave a new way to design electrode materials for multivalent-ion batteries.

A rechargeable Mg|O2 battery

Project description:Summary Rechargeable Mg|O2 batteries (RMOBs) offer several advantages over alkali metal-based battery systems owing to Mg’s ease of transport/storage in ambient environment, low cost originating from its high abundance, as well as the high theoretical specific energy of RMOBs. However, research on RMOBs has been stagnant for the past decade, largely owing to unacceptably poor electrochemical performance. Here, we present a RMOB that employs Mg anode, Mg((CF3SO2)2N)2-MgCl2 in diglyme (G2) electrolyte, and commercial Pt/C on carbon fiber paper (Pt/C@CFP) oxygen cathode. This battery demonstrates unparalleled improvement over existing RMOBs by rendering a discharge capacity over 1.6 mAh cm−2, achieving cycle lives up to 35 cycles with a cumulative energy density of ∼3.2 mWh cm−2 at room temperature. This RMOB system seeks to reignite the pursuit of novel electrochemical systems based on Mg-O2 chemistries. Graphical abstract Highlights • A rechargeable Mg|O2 battery with prolonged cycle life (∼35 cycles) is demonstrated• Mg((CF3SO2)2N)2-MgCl2 in G2 enables reversible battery cycling O2 environment• A multistep discharge product formation pathway is proposed• MgO is identified as the main discharge product Electrochemistry; Materials science; Energy materials

Advanced rechargeable aluminium ion battery with a high-quality natural graphite cathode.

Project description:Recently, interest in aluminium ion batteries with aluminium anodes, graphite cathodes and ionic liquid electrolytes has increased; however, much remains to be done to increase the cathode capacity and to understand details of the anion-graphite intercalation mechanism. Here, an aluminium ion battery cell made using pristine natural graphite flakes achieves a specific capacity of ∼110 mAh g-1 with Coulombic efficiency ∼98%, at a current density of 99 mA g-1 (0.9 C) with clear discharge voltage plateaus (2.25-2.0 V and 1.9-1.5 V). The cell has a capacity of 60 mAh g-1 at 6 C, over 6,000 cycles with Coulombic efficiency ∼ 99%. Raman spectroscopy shows two different intercalation processes involving chloroaluminate anions at the two discharging plateaus, while C-Cl bonding on the surface, or edges of natural graphite, is found using X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Finally, theoretical calculations are employed to investigate the intercalation behaviour of choloraluminate anions in the graphite electrode.

Solar-Driven Rechargeable Lithium-Sulfur Battery.

Project description:Solar cells and rechargeable batteries are two key technologies for energy conversion and storage in modern society. Here, an integrated solar-driven rechargeable lithium-sulfur battery system using a joint carbon electrode in one structure unit is proposed. Specifically, three perovskite solar cells are assembled serially in a single substrate to photocharge a high energy lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery, accompanied by direct conversion of the solar energy to chemical energy. In the subsequent discharge process, the chemical energy stored in the Li-S battery is further converted to electrical energy. Therefore, the newly designed battery is capable of achieving solar-to-chemical energy conversion under solar-driven conditions, and subsequently delivering electrical energy from the stored chemical energy. With an optimized structure design, a high overall energy conversion efficiency of 5.14% is realized for the integrated battery. Moreover, owing to the self-adjusting photocharge advantage, the battery system can retain high specific capacity up to 762.4 mAh g-1 under a high photocharge rate within 30 min, showing an effective photocharging feature.
