NaAlTi₃O₈, A Novel Anode Material for Sodium Ion Battery.

ABSTRACT: Sodium ion batteries are being considered as an alternative to lithium ion batteries in large-scale energy storage applications owing to the low cost. A novel titanate compound, NaAlTi₃O₈, was successfully synthesized and tested as a promising anode material for sodium ion batteries. Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and refinement were used to analyze the crystal structure. Electrochemical cycling tests under a C/10 rate between 0.01 - 2.5 V showed that ~83 mAh/g capacity could be achieved in the second cycle, with ~75% of which retained after 100 cycles, which corresponds to 0.75 Na⁺ insertion and extraction. The influence of synthesis conditions on electrochemical performances was investigated and discussed. NaAlTi₃O₈ not only presents a new anode material with low average voltage of ~0.5 V, but also provides a new type of intercalation anode with a crystal structure that differentiates from the anodes that have been reported.

Flexible C-Mo2C fiber film with self-fused junctions as a long cyclability anode material for sodium-ion battery.

Project description:Electrospun carbon fiber films have high contact resistance at the fiber junctions, which causes poor cycling stability and limits their further improvement in energy storage performances. To eliminate the contact resistance of the film, we provide a new strategy to fuse the fiber junctions by introducing MoO2 in the fibers, which replaces the C-C interface by a more active C-MoO2-C interface at the fiber junction to promote mass transfer. MoO2 reacts with C matrix to generate Mo2C and form self-fused junctions during the carbonization process. Due to much lower charge transfer and sodium diffusion resistance, the C-Mo2C fiber film with self-fused junctions shows much better cyclability with capacity retention of 90% after 2000 cycles at a constant current density of 1 A g-1. Moreover, the Mo2C particles provide many electrochemically active sites, leading to additional improvement in sodium storage. The C-Mo2C fiber film has a capacity of 134 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 and a high capacity of 99 mA h g-1 even at 5 A g-1.

Diffusion mechanism in the sodium-ion battery material sodium cobaltate.

Project description:High performance batteries based on the movement of Li ions in Li x CoO2 have made possible a revolution in mobile electronic technology, from laptops to mobile phones. However, the scarcity of Li and the demand for energy storage for renewables has led to intense interest in Na-ion batteries, including structurally-related Na x CoO2. Here we have determined the diffusion mechanism for Na0.8CoO2 using diffuse x-ray scattering, quasi-elastic neutron scattering and ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations, and we find that the sodium ordering provides diffusion pathways and governs the diffusion rate. Above T ~ 290?K the so-called partially disordered stripe superstructure provides channels for quasi-1D diffusion, and melting of the sodium ordering leads to 2D superionic diffusion above T ~ 370?K. We obtain quantitative agreement between our microscopic study of the hopping mechanism and bulk self-diffusion measurements. Our approach can be applied widely to other Na- or Li-ion battery materials.

KxCo1.5-0.5xFe(CN)6/rGO with Dual-Active Sodium Ion Storage Site as Superior Anode for Sodium Ion Battery.

Project description:The unique and open large frame structures of prussian blue analogues (PBA) enables it for accommodating a large number of cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+, etc.), thus, PBA are considered as promising electrode materials for the rechargeable battery. However, due to the chemical composition, there are still many alkaline metal ions in the gap within the framework, which puts multivalent metals in PBA in a low valence state and affects the sodium storage performance. To improve the valence of metal ions in PBA materials, precursors prepared by co-precipitation method and hydrothermal method are used to synthesis KxCo1.5-0.5xFe(CN)6 through further chemical oxidation. Through the introducing of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with excellent conductivity by a simple physical mixing method, the cycle stability and rate performance of the PBA material can be further improved. The K0.5Co1.2Fe(CN)6·2H2O/rGO anode prepared with 2 h hydrothermal time and further chemical oxidation, named as KCoHCP-H2-EK/rGO, exhibits a super electrochemical performance, delivering initial charge/discharge capacities of 846.7/1445.0 mAh·g-1, and a capacity retention of 58.2% after 100 cycles at a current density of 100 mA·g-1. The KCoHCP-H2-EK/rGO outstanding electrochemical behaviors are attributed to the unique dual-active site structure properties and the improved surface conductance of materials by rGO components.

Ti2PTe2 monolayer: a promising two-dimensional anode material for sodium-ion batteries.

Project description:Developing efficient anode materials with a good electrochemical performance has been a key scientific issue in the development of sodium ion batteries (SIBs). In this work, by means of density functional theory (DFT) computations, we demonstrate that two-dimensional (2D) Ti2PTe2 monolayer is a promising candidate for this application. The exfoliation of Ti2PTe2 monolayer from its experimentally known layered bulk phase is feasible due to the moderate cohesive energy. Different from many binary 2D transitions metal chalcogenides (TMCs) that are semiconducting, Ti2PTe2 monolayer is metallic with considerable electronic states at the Fermi level. Remarkably, Ti2PTe2 monolayer has a considerably high theoretical capacity of 280.72 mA h g-1, a rather small Na diffusion barrier of 0.22 eV, and a low average open circuit voltage of 0.31 eV. These results suggest that Ti2PTe2 monolayer can be utilized as a promising anode material for SIBs with high power density and fast charge/discharge rates.

Spinel rGO Wrapped CoV2O4 Nanocomposite as a Novel Anode Material for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Binary mixed transition-based metal oxides have some of the most potential as anode materials for rechargeable advanced battery systems due to their high theoretical capacity and tremendous electrochemical performance. Nonetheless, binary metal oxides still endure low electronic conductivity and huge volume expansion during the charge/discharge processes. In this study, we synthesized a reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-wrapped CoV2O4 material as the anode for sodium ion batteries. The X-ray diffraction analyses revealed pure-phased CoV2O4 (CVO) rGO-wrapped CoV2O4 (CVO/rGO) nanoparticles. The capacity retention of the CVO/rGO composite anode demonstrated 81.6% at the current density of 200 mA/g for more than 1000 cycles, which was better than that of the bare one of only 73.5% retention. The as-synthesized CVO/rGO exhibited remarkable cyclic stability and rate capability. The reaction mechanism of the CoV2O4 anode with sodium ions was firstly studied in terms of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and ex situ XRD analyses. These results articulated the manner of utilizing the graphene oxide-coated spinel-based novel anode-CoV2O4 as a potential anode for sodium ion batteries.

Project description:There is an ever-increasing demand for rechargeable batteries with fast charging, long cycling, high safety, and low cost in new energy storage systems. Herein, a heterogeneous architecture composed of MoS2-coupled carbon nanosheets encapsulated on sodium titanate nanowires is developed and demonstrated as an advanced anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Owing to the synergistic effects of ultrastable substrate of 1D sodium titanate (NTO) nanowires, high-capacity promoter of 2D MoS2 nanosheets as well as the 2D conductive carbon matrix, the resulting 1D/2D-2D hybrid demonstrates excellent high-rate capacity and super-durable cyclability, delivering a stable capacity of up to 425.5 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1. Even at an ultrafast charging/discharging process within 80 s, the capacity can be maintained at 201 mAh g-1 after 16 000 cycles with only 0.0012% capacity loss per cycle, one of the best high-rate capacities and cyclabilities for NTO-based hybrid composites. The present work highlights the designing protocol of hierarchical nanoarchitectures with stable substrate and high-capacity electrodes for next-generation energy storage applications.

Project description:Transition metal dichalcogenide materials have been considered as promising anode materials for rechargeable sodium-ion batteries because of their high specific capacity and low cost. Here, we demonstrate an iron sulfide Fe3S4 as a new anode material for a rechargeable sodium-ion battery. The involved conversion mechanism has been proved when the as-prepared Fe3S4 was used as the host material for sodium storage. Remarkably, a compound FeS x with quantum size generated by conversion reaction overcame the kinetic and thermodynamic constraints of chemical conversion to achieve superior cycling and rate capability. As a result, the as-prepared Fe3S4 electrode delivers a high reversible specific capacity of 548 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1, together with an excellent cycling stability of 275 mA h g-1 after 3500 cycles at 20 A g-1.

3D CoMoSe4 Nanosheet Arrays Converted Directly from Hydrothermally Processed CoMoO4 Nanosheet Arrays by Plasma-Assisted Selenization Process Toward Excellent Anode Material in Sodium-Ion Battery.

Project description:In this work, three-dimensional (3D) CoMoSe4 nanosheet arrays on network fibers of a carbon cloth denoted as CoMoSe4@C converted directly from CoMoO4 nanosheet arrays prepared by a hydrothermal process followed by the plasma-assisted selenization at a low temperature of 450 °C as an anode for sodium-ion battery (SIB) were demonstrated for the first time. With the plasma-assisted treatment on the selenization process, oxygen (O) atoms can be replaced by selenium (Se) atoms without the degradation on morphology at a low selenization temperature of 450 °C. Owing to the high specific surface area from the well-defined 3D structure, high electron conductivity, and bi-metal electrochemical activity, the superior performance with a large sodium-ion storage of 475 mA h g-1 under 0.5-3 V potential range at 0.1 A g-1 was accomplished by using this CoMoSe4@C as the electrode. Additionally, the capacity retention was well maintained over 80 % from the second cycle, exhibiting a satisfied capacity of 301 mA h g-1 even after 50 cycles. The work delivered a new approach to prepare a binary transition metallic selenide and definitely enriches the possibilities for promising anode materials in SIBs with high performances.

Developing a novel lithium-ion battery anode material via thiol functionalization of diatom frustules plus Ag modification.

Project description:The biosilicification of diatoms allows for the customization of the synthesis of functionalized diatom frustules. The S active sites (-SH) on diatom frustules were created by adding the organic silicon sources tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS). The mechanisms of adsorption-reduction and the indirect effects of S active sites on electrochemical performance were declared. The DBS@C-Ag-3 anode material sourced from the cultivation condition with a silicon source of TMOS:MPTMS = 3:1 shows the best comprehensive performance and delivers a discharge capacity of ∼660 mAh·g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A·g-1. The electrochemical performance of DBS@C-Ag anode materials is also found to be dominated by structure at high temperatures and conductivity at low temperatures. Such a diatom frustule structure with sulfhydryl functionalization is promising for anode materials, and it suggests a biological strategy for creating other electrode materials by modifying them with metals to improve electrochemical performances.
