The Enhanced Lithium-Storage Performance for MnO Nanoparticles Anchored on Electrospun Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Fibers.

ABSTRACT: Manganese monoxide (MnO) is a promising anode material in the lithium-ion battery for its high capacity, low operation potential, and environmental benignity. However, its application is impeded by poor rate capability and rapid capacity fading. In this work, a MnO/carbon hybrid material, in which small-sized MnO nanoparticles are tightly anchored on carbon fibers (denoted as MnO@CFs), was prepared by annealing the electrospun precursor fibers at 650 °C. When applied as the anode material of the Li-ion battery, the small size of MnO shortens the Li-ion diffusion path, and the carbon fibers not only greatly improve the conductivity but also efficiently buffer the MnO structure strain during the charge?discharge process, endowing the MnO@CFs electrode with a good rate capability (185 mAh g^-1 at 5 A g^-1) and cyclic stability (406 mAh g^-1 after 500 cycles at 1.0 A g^-1).

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.

Nanoconfined nitrogen-doped carbon-coated MnO nanoparticles in graphene enabling high performance for lithium-ion batteries and oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:To tackle the issues of inferior cycling stability and low conductivity for MnO as an anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) and as a catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), a facile and effective strategy is explored to confine N-doped carbon-coated MnO nanoparticles in a conductive graphene matrix. The synthesis of the GMNCs involves the two-step coating of Mn3O4 nanocrystals with polydopamine and graphene, followed by heat treatment to form the GNS@MnO@N-doped carbon composites (GMNCs). When evaluated as anode materials for LIBs, the as-prepared GMNCs exhibit an improved cycling stability (754.3 mA h g-1 after 350 cycles at 0.1 A g-1) compared to carbon-coated MnO and pure Mn3O4 due to the double carbon coating design. When evaluated as catalysts for ORR, the as-prepared GMNCs exhibit higher electrocatalytic activity than that of pure Mn3O4 and MnO catalysts, and superior stability to a commercial Pt/C catalyst due to the synergetic effect between the MnO and N-doped double carbon coating. The optimum design of the unique nanostructures with the synergetic effect provides a new route to design advanced materials as electrode/catalysts for energy conversion and storage.

Atomically dispersed cobalt catalyst anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets for lithium-oxygen batteries.

Project description:Developing single-site catalysts featuring maximum atom utilization efficiency is urgently desired to improve oxidation-reduction efficiency and cycling capability of lithium-oxygen batteries. Here, we report a green method to synthesize isolated cobalt atoms embedded ultrathin nitrogen-rich carbon as a dual-catalyst for lithium-oxygen batteries. The achieved electrode with maximized exposed atomic active sites is beneficial for tailoring formation/decomposition mechanisms of uniformly distributed nano-sized lithium peroxide during oxygen reduction/evolution reactions due to abundant cobalt-nitrogen coordinate catalytic sites, thus demonstrating greatly enhanced redox kinetics and efficiently ameliorated over-potentials. Critically, theoretical simulations disclose that rich cobalt-nitrogen moieties as the driving force centers can drastically enhance the intrinsic affinity of intermediate species and thus fundamentally tune the evolution mechanism of the size and distribution of final lithium peroxide. In the lithium-oxygen battery, the electrode affords remarkably decreased charge/discharge polarization (0.40 V) and long-term cyclability (260 cycles at 400 mA g-1).

Facile Preparation of Self-Standing Hierarchical Porous Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Fibers for Supercapacitors from Plant Protein-Lignin Electrospun Fibers.

Project description:This research aims to develop self-standing nitrogen-doped carbon fiber networks from plant protein-lignin electrospun fibrous mats for supercapacitors. The challenge in preparing carbon fiber from protein is to maintain a fibrous structure during carbonization process. Thus, lignin was incorporated with protein. At protein-to-lignin ratio of 50:50 to 20:80, the electrospun fibers maintained their structure after carbonization and formed self-standing carbon fiber mats. Stacked graphene layer structure was developed in the carbon fibers at a relatively low carbonization temperature (<1000 °C) without the use of catalysts, which might be derived from both lignin and protein. Graphene layer structure conferred the carbon fibers with superior conductivity. The optimized carbon fiber networks possessed excellent capacitance performance in 6 M KOH of 410 F/g at 1 A/g and good cyclic stability. Such good electrochemical properties were due to the well-engineered characteristics of the materials, including a hierarchical porous texture, heteroatoms (nitrogen and oxygen), and the stacked graphene layer structure. This research not only has provided a convenient way to develop carbon fibers from plant protein-lignin for N-doped supercapacitor electrodes, but also opportunity to add value to plant proteins and lignin as by-products of agricultural industry processing.

Cu2Se Nanoparticles Encapsulated by Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanofibers for Efficient Sodium Storage.

Project description:Cu2Se with high theoretical capacity and good electronic conductivity have attracted particular attention as anode materials for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). However, during electrochemical reactions, the large volume change of Cu2Se results in poor rate performance and cycling stability. To solve this issue, nanosized-Cu2Se is encapsulated in 1D nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (Cu2Se-NC) so that the unique structure of 1D carbon fiber network ensures a high contact area between the electrolyte and Cu2Se with a short Na+ diffusion path and provides a protective matrix to accommodate the volume variation. The kinetic analysis and DNa+ calculation indicates that the dominant contribution to the capacity is surface pseudocapacitance with fast Na+ migration, which guarantees the favorable rate performance of Cu2Se-NC for SIBs.

Nitrogen-Doped Graphene-Like Carbon Intercalated MXene Heterostructure Electrodes for Enhanced Sodium- and Lithium-Ion Storage.

Project description:MXene is investigated as an electrode material for different energy storage systems due to layered structures and metal-like electrical conductivity. Experimental results show MXenes possess excellent cycling performance as anode materials, especially at large current densities. However, the reversible capacity is relatively low, which is a significant barrier to meeting the demands of industrial applications. This work synthesizes N-doped graphene-like carbon (NGC) intercalated Ti3C2Tx (NGC-Ti3C2Tx) van der Waals heterostructure by an in situ method. The as-prepared NGC-Ti3C2Tx van der Waals heterostructure is employed as sodium-ion and lithium-ion battery electrodes. For sodium-ion batteries, a reversible specific capacity of 305 mAh g-1 is achieved at a specific current of 20 mA g-1, 2.3 times higher than that of Ti3C2Tx. For lithium-ion batteries, a reversible capacity of 400 mAh g-1 at a specific current of 20 mA g-1 is 1.5 times higher than that of Ti3C2Tx. Both sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries made from NGC-Ti3C2Tx shows high cycling stability. The theoretical calculations also verify the remarkable improvement in battery capacity within the NGC-Ti3C2O2 system, attributed to the additional adsorption of working ions at the edge states of NGC. This work offers an innovative way to synthesize a new van der Waals heterostructure and provides a new route to improve the electrochemical performance significantly.

Bi Nanoparticles Anchored in N-Doped Porous Carbon as Anode of High Energy Density Lithium Ion Battery.

Project description:A novel bismuth-carbon composite, in which bismuth nanoparticles were anchored in a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (Bi@NC), is proposed as anode for high volumetric energy density lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Bi@NC composite was synthesized via carbonization of Zn-containing zeolitic imidazolate (ZIF-8) and replacement of Zn with Bi, resulting in the N-doped carbon that was hierarchically porous and anchored with Bi nanoparticles. The matrix provides a highly electronic conductive network that facilitates the lithiation/delithiation of Bi. Additionally, it restrains aggregation of Bi nanoparticles and serves as a buffer layer to alleviate the mechanical strain of Bi nanoparticles upon Li insertion/extraction. With these contributions, Bi@NC exhibits excellent cycling stability and rate capacity compared to bare Bi nanoparticles or their simple composites with carbon. This study provides a new approach for fabricating high volumetric energy density LIBs.

Robust and Fast Lithium Storage Enabled by Polypyrrole-Coated Nitrogen and Phosphorus Co-Doped Hollow Carbon Nanospheres for Lithium-Ion Capacitors.

Project description:Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have been proposed as an emerging technological innovation that integrates the advantages of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. However, the high-power output of LICs still suffers from intractable challenges due to the sluggish reaction kinetics of battery-type anodes. Herein, polypyrrole-coated nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped hollow carbon nanospheres (NPHCS@PPy) were synthesized by a facile method and employed as anode materials for LICs. The unique hybrid architecture composed of porous hollow carbon nanospheres and PPy coating layer can expedite the mass/charge transport and enhance the structural stability during repetitive lithiation/delithiation process. The N and P dual doping plays a significant role on expanding the carbon layer spacing, enhancing electrode wettability, and increasing active sites for pseudocapacitive reactions. Benefiting from these merits, the NPHCS@PPy composite exhibits excellent lithium-storage performances including high rate capability and good cycling stability. Furthermore, a novel LIC device based on the NPHCS@PPy anode and the nitrogen-doped porous carbon cathode delivers a high energy density of 149 Wh kg-1 and a high power density of 22,500 W kg-1 as well as decent cycling stability with a capacity retention rate of 92% after 7,500 cycles. This work offers an applicable and alternative way for the development of high-performance LICs.

Highly Dispersed Cobalt Nanoparticles Embedded in Nitrogen-Doped Graphitized Carbon for Fast and Durable Potassium Storage.

Project description:Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) have great potential for applications in large-scale energy storage devices. However, the larger radius of K+ leads to sluggish kinetics and inferior cycling performance, severely restricting its practical applicability. Herein, we propose a rational strategy involving a Prussian blue analogue-derived graphitized carbon anode with fast and durable potassium storage capability, which is constructed by encapsulating cobalt nanoparticles in nitrogen-doped graphitized carbon (Co-NC). Both experimental and theoretical results show that N-doping effectively promotes the uniform dispersion of cobalt nanoparticles in the carbon matrix through Co-N bonds. Moreover, the cobalt nanoparticles and strong Co-N bonds synergistically form a three-dimensional conductive network, increase the number of adsorption sites, and reduce the diffusion energy barrier, thereby facilitating the adsorption and the diffusion kinetics. These multiple effects lead to enhanced reversible capacities of 305 and 208.6 mAh g-1 after 100 and 300 cycles at 0.05 and 0.1 A g-1, respectively, demonstrating the applicability of the Co-NC anode for KIBs.
