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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Project description: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.

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.

Synthesis and Electrochemical Performance of ZnSe Electrospinning Nanofibers as an Anode Material for Lithium Ion and Sodium Ion Batteries.

Project description:ZnSe nitrogen-doped carbon composite nanofibers (ZnSe@N-CNFs) were derived as anode materials from selenization of electrospinning nanofibers. Electron microscopy shows that ZnSe nanoparticles are distributed in electrospinning nanofibers after selenization. Electrochemistry tests were carried out and the results show the one-dimensional carbon composite nanofibers reveal a great structural stability and electrochemistry performance by the enhanced synergistic effect with ZnSe. Even at a current density of 2 A g-1, the as-prepared electrodes can still reach up to 701.7 mA h g-1 after 600 cycles in lithium-ion batteries and 368.9 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles in sodium-ion batteries, respectively. ZnSe@N-CNFs with long cycle life and high capacity at high current density implies its promising future for the next generation application of energy storage.

Nano Hard Carbon Anodes for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:A hindrance to the practical use of sodium-ion batteries is the lack of adequate anode materials. By utilizing the co-intercalation reaction, graphite, which is the most common anode material of lithium-ion batteries, was used for storing sodium ion. However, its performance, such as reversible capacity and coulombic efficiency, remains unsatisfactory for practical needs. Therefore, to overcome these drawbacks, a new carbon material was synthesized so that co-intercalation could occur efficiently. This carbon material has the same morphology as carbon black; that is, it has a wide pathway due to a turbostratic structure, and a short pathway due to small primary particles that allows the co-intercalation reaction to occur efficiently. Additionally, due to the numerous voids present in the inner amorphous structure, the sodium storage capacity was greatly increased. Furthermore, owing to the coarse co-intercalation reaction due to the surface pore structure, the formation of solid-electrolyte interphase was greatly suppressed and the first cycle coulombic efficiency reached 80%. This study shows that the carbon material alone can be used to design good electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries without the use of next-generation materials.

Flexible Conductive Anodes Based on 3D Hierarchical Sn/NS-CNFs@rGO Network for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Metallic Sn has provoked tremendous progress as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, Sn anodes suffer from a dramatic capacity fading, owing to pulverization induced by drastic volume expansion during cycling. Herein, a flexible three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical conductive network electrode is designed by constructing Sn quantum dots (QDs) encapsulated in one-dimensional N,S co-doped carbon nanofibers (NS-CNFs) sheathed within two-dimensional (2D) reduced graphene oxide (rGO) scrolls. In this ingenious strategy, 1D NS-CNFs are regarded as building blocks to prevent the aggregation and pulverization of Sn QDs during sodiation/desodiation, 2D rGO acts as electrical roads and "bridges" among NS-CNFs to improve the conductivity of the electrode and enlarge the contact area with electrolyte. Because of the unique structural merits, the flexible 3D hierarchical conductive network was directly used as binder- and current collector-free anode for SIBs, exhibiting ultra-long cycling life (373 mAh g-1 after 5000 cycles at 1 A g-1), and excellent high-rate capability (189 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1). This work provides a facile and efficient engineering method to construct 3D hierarchical conductive electrodes for other flexible energy storage devices.

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.

A Confined Replacement Synthesis of Bismuth Nanodots in MOF Derived Carbon Arrays as Binder-Free Anodes for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The inferior tolerance with reversible accommodation of large-sized Na+ ion in electrode materials has plagued the adaptability of sodium-ion chemistry. The sluggish diffusion kinetics of Na+ also baffles the desirability. Herein, a carbon fiber supported binder-free electrode consisting of bismuth and carbon composite is designed. Well-confined bismuth nanodots are synthesized by replacing cobalt in the metal-organic frameworks (MOF)-derived, nitrogen-doped carbon arrays, which are demonstrated with remarkable reversibility during sodiation and desodiation. Cobalt species in the pristine MOF catalyze the graphitization around organic components in calcination, generating a highly conductive network in which the bismuth is to be embedded. The uniformly dispersed bismuth nanodots provide plenty boundaries and abundant active sites in the carbon arrays, where fast sodium storage kinetics are realized to contribute extra capacity and excellent rate performance.

Porous Hybrid Nanofibers Comprising ZnSe/CoSe?/Carbon with Uniformly Distributed Pores as Anodes for High-Performance Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Well-designed porous structured bimetallic ZnSe/CoSe?/carbon composite nanofibers with uniformly distributed pores were prepared as anodes for sodium-ion batteries by electrospinning and subsequent simple heat-treatment processes. Size-controlled polystyrene (PS) nanobeads in the electrospinning solution played a key role in the formation and uniform distribution of pores in the nanofiber structure, after the removal of selected PS nanobeads during the heat-treatment process. The porous ZnSe/CoSe?/C composite nanofibers were able to release severe mechanical stress/strain during discharge-charge cycles, introduce larger contact area between the active materials and the electrolyte, and provide more active sites during cycling. The discharge capacity of porous ZnSe/CoSe2/C composite nanofibers at the 10,000th cycle was 297 mA h g-1, and the capacity retention measured from the second cycle was 81%. The final rate capacities of porous ZnSe/CoSe2/C composite nanofibers were 438, 377, 367, 348, 335, 323, and 303 mA h g-1 at current densities of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 A g-1, respectively. At the higher current densities of 10, 20, and 30 A g-1, the final rate capacities were 310, 222, and 141 mA h g-1, respectively.

Poly (3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) Nanofibers Decorated Graphene Oxide (GO) as High-Capacity, Long Cycle Anodes for Sodium Ion Batteries.

Project description:Conductive Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanofibers are uniformly deposited on ultrathin graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets via a simple and effective in situ polymerization process under ambient conditions. The as-prepared samples are characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectra, Fourier transforms infrared spectra (FTIR), and electrochemical measurements. The results indicate that the as-obtained PEDOT?GO hybrid (GDOT) achieves excellent sodium storage properties. When explored as a new inorganic/polymeric electrode for sodium ion batteries (SIBs), the GDOT exhibits a high reversible capacity (338 mAh g-1), good cycling stability (234 mAh g-1 after 400 cycles), and excellent rate capabilities (e.g., 62 mAh g-1 at 30 A g-1) due to their ultrathin structure as well as conductive network. This easily scale-up-able and effective strategy shows great potential for large-scale energy applications.
