Template-Free Synthesis of Sb₂S₃ Hollow Microspheres as Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion and Sodium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Hierarchical Sb₂S₃ hollow microspheres assembled by nanowires have been successfully synthesized by a simple and practical hydrothermal reaction. The possible formation process of this architecture was investigated by X-ray diffraction, focused-ion beam-scanning electron microscopy dual-beam system, and transmission electron microscopy. When used as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries, Sb₂S₃ hollow microspheres manifest excellent rate property and enhanced lithium-storage capability and can deliver a discharge capacity of 674 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 200 mA g^-1 after 50 cycles. Even at a high current density of 5000 mA g^-1, a discharge capacity of 541 mAh g^-1 is achieved. Sb₂S₃ hollow microspheres also display a prominent sodium-storage capacity and maintain a reversible discharge capacity of 384 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 200 mA g^-1 after 50 cycles. The remarkable lithium/sodium-storage property may be attributed to the synergetic effect of its nanometer size and three-dimensional hierarchical architecture, and the outstanding stability property is attributed to the sufficient interior void space, which can buffer the volume expansion.

MoO3@MoS2 Core-Shell Structured Hybrid Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:We explore a phase engineering strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of transition metal sulfides (TMSs) in anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). A one-pot hydrothermal approach has been employed to synthesize MoS2 nanostructures. MoS2 and MoO3 phases can be readily controlled by straightforward calcination in the (200-300) °C temperature range. An optimized temperature of 250 °C yields a phase-engineered MoO3@MoS2 hybrid, while 200 and 300 °C produce single MoS2 and MoO3 phases. When tested in LIBs anode, the optimized MoO3@MoS2 hybrid outperforms the pristine MoS2 and MoO3 counterparts. With above 99% Coulombic efficiency (CE), the hybrid anode retains its capacity of 564 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles, and maintains a capacity of 278 mAh g-1 at 700 mA g-1 current density. These favorable characteristics are attributed to the formation of MoO3 passivation surface layer on MoS2 and reactive interfaces between the two phases, which facilitate the Li-ion insertion/extraction, successively improving MoO3@MoS2 anode performance.

Monodisperse porous silicon spheres as anode materials for lithium ion batteries.

Project description:Highly monodisperse porous silicon nanospheres (MPSSs) are synthesized via a simple and scalable hydrolysis process with subsequent surface-protected magnesiothermic reduction. The spherical nature of the MPSSs allows for a homogenous stress-strain distribution within the structure during lithiation and delithiation, which dramatically improves the electrochemical stability. To fully extract the real performance of the MPSSs, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were added to enhance the electronic conductivity within the composite electrode structure, which has been verified to be an effective way to improve the rate and cycling performance of anodes based on nano-Si. The Li-ion battery (LIB) anodes based on MPSSs demonstrate a high reversible capacity of 3105 mAh g(-1). In particular, reversible Li storage capacities above 1500 mAh g(-1) were maintained after 500 cycles at a high rate of C/2. We believe this innovative approach for synthesizing porous Si-based LIB anode materials by using surface-protected magnesiothermic reduction can be readily applied to other types of SiOx nano/microstructures.

Fast Energy Storage of SnS2 Anode Nanoconfined in Hollow Porous Carbon Nanofibers for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The development of conversion-typed anodes with ultrafast charging and large energy storage is quite challenging due to the sluggish ions/electrons transfer kinetics in bulk materials and fracture of the active materials. Herein, the design of porous carbon nanofibers/SnS2 composite (SnS2 @N-HPCNFs) for high-rate energy storage, where the ultrathin SnS2 nanosheets are nanoconfined in N-doped carbon nanofibers with tunable void spaces, is reported. The highly interconnected carbon nanofibers in three-dimensional (3D) architecture provide a fast electron transfer pathway and alleviate the volume expansion of SnS2 , while their hierarchical porous structure facilitates rapid ion diffusion. Specifically, the anode delivers a remarkable specific capacity of 1935.50 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and excellent rate capability up to 30 C with a specific capacity of 289.60 mAh g-1 . Meanwhile, at a high rate of 20 C, the electrode displays a high capacity retention of 84% after 3000 cycles and a long cycle life of 10 000 cycles. This work provides a deep insight into the construction of electrodes with high ionic/electronic conductivity for fast-charging energy storage devices.

Core@shell Sb@Sb2O3 nanoparticles anchored on 3D nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets as advanced anode materials for Li-ion batteries.

Project description:Antimony (Sb) based materials are regarded as promising anode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) because of the high capacity, appropriate working potential, and earth abundance of antimony. However, the quick capacity decay due to the huge volume expansion during the cycling process seriously hinders its practical applications. Here, a nanocomposite of core@shell Sb@Sb2O3 particles anchored on 3D porous nitrogen-doped carbon (3DNC) nanosheets is synthesized by freeze drying and sintering in a reducing atmosphere. Structural characterization shows that the developed Sb@Sb2O3/3DNC electrode has a high surface area (839.8 m2 g-1) and unique Sb-O-C bonding, both contributing to the excellent electrochemical performance. The initial charge and discharge specific capacities of the Sb@ Sb2O3/3DNC anode in LIB tests are 1109 mA h g-1 and 1810 mA h g-1, respectively. Also, it shows a charge capacity of 696.9 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1 and 458 mA h g-1 at a current density of 5 A g-1. Moreover, the assembled Sb@Sb2O3/3DNC‖LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 battery exhibits a discharge capacity of more than 100 mA h g-1 after 25 cycles at 100 mA g-1. The synthetic method can be extended to obtain other nanocomposites of metal and carbon materials for high-performance energy storage devices.

Unique Urchin-like Ca2Ge7O16 Hierarchical Hollow Microspheres as Anode Material for the Lithium Ion Battery.

Project description:Germanium is an outstanding anode material in terms of electrochemical performance, especially rate capability, but its developments are hindered by its high price because it is rare in the crust of earth, and its huge volume variation during the lithium insertion and extraction. Introducing other cheaper elements into the germanium-based material is an efficient way to dilute the high price, but normally sacrifice its electrochemical performance. By the combination of nanostructure design and cheap element (calcium) introduction, urchin-like Ca2Ge7O16 hierarchical hollow microspheres have been successfully developed in order to reduce the price and maintain the good electrochemical properties of germanium-based material. The electrochemical test results in different electrolytes show that ethylene carbonate/dimethyl carbonate/diethyl carbonate (3/4/3 by volume) with 5 wt% fluoroethylene carbonate additive is the most suitable solvent for the electrolyte. From the electrochemical evaluation, the as-synthesized Ca2Ge7O16 hollow microspheres exhibit high reversible specific capacity of up to 804.6 mA h g(-1) at a current density of 100 mA g(-1) after 100 cycles and remarkable rate capability of 341.3 mA h g(-1) at a current density of 4 A g(-1). The growth mechanism is proposed based on our experimental results on the growth process.

Controllable synthesis of nanostructured ZnCo2O4 as high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Nanostructured ZnCo2O4 anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been successfully prepared by a two-step process, combining facile and concise electrospinning and simple post-treatment techniques. Three different structured ZnCo2O4 anodes (nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanowires) can be prepared by simply adjusting the ratio of metallic salt and PVP in the precursor solutions. Charge-discharge tests and cyclic voltammetry (CV) have been conducted to evaluate the lithium storage performances of ZnCo2O4 anodes, particularly for ZnCo2O4 nanotubes obtained from a weight ratio 2 : 4 of metallic salt and PVP polymer in the precursor solution. Remarkably, ZnCo2O4 nanotubes exhibit high specific capacity, good rate property, and long cycling stability. Reversible capacity is still maintained at 1180.8 mA h g-1 after 275 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g-1. In case of rate capability, even after cycling at the 2000 mA g-1 current density, the capacity could recover to 684 mA h g-1. The brilliant electrochemical properties of the ZnCo2O4 anodes make them promising anodes for LIBs and other energy storage applications.

Facile Construction of Porous ZnMn2O4 Hollow Micro-Rods as Advanced Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries.

Project description:Spinel ZnMn2O4 is considered a promising anode material for high-capacity Li-ion batteries due to their higher theoretical capacity than commercial graphite anode. However, the insufficient cycling and rate properties seriously limit its practical application. In this work, porous ZnMn2O4 hollow micro-rods (ZMO HMRs) are synthesized by a facile co-precipitation method coupled with annealing treatment. On the basis of electrochemical analyses, the as-obtained samples are first characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The influences of different polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) additions on the formation of the hollow rod structure are also discussed. The abundant multi-level pore structure and hollow feature of ZMO HMRs effectively alleviate the volume expansion issue, rendering abundant electroactive sites and thereby guaranteeing convenient Li+ diffusion. Thanks to these striking merits, the ZMO HMRs anode exhibits excellent electrochemical lithium storage performance with a reversible specific capacity of 761 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1, and a long-cycle specific capacity of 529 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 2.0 A g-1 and keep a remarkable rate capability. In addition, the assembled ZMO HMRs-based full cells deliver an excellent rate capacity, and when the current density returns to 0.05 A g-1, the specific capacity can still reach 105 mAh g-1 and remains at 101 mAh g-1 after 70 cycles, maintaining a material-level energy density of approximately 273 Wh kg-1. More significantly, such striking electrochemical performance highlights that porous ZMO HMRs could be a promising anode candidate material for LIBs.

Sub-micro droplet reactors for green synthesis of Li3VO4 anode materials in lithium ion batteries.

Project description:The conventional solid-state reaction suffers from low diffusivity, high energy consumption, and uncontrolled morphology. These limitations are competed by the presence of water in solution route reaction. Herein, based on concept of combining above methods, we report a facile solid-state reaction conducted in water vapor at low temperature along with calcium doping for modifying lithium vanadate as anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The optimized material, delivers a superior specific capacity of 543.1, 477.1, and 337.2 mAh g-1 after 200 and 1000 cycles at current densities of 100, 1000 and 4000 mA g-1, respectively, which is attributed to the contribution of pseudocapacitance. In this work, we also use experimental and theoretical calculation to demonstrate that the enhancement of doped lithium vanadate is attributed to particles confinement of droplets in water vapor along with the surface and structure variation of calcium doping effect.

Nitrogen-Doped Carbon for Red Phosphorous Based Anode Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries.

Project description:Serving as conductive matrix and stress buffer, the carbon matrix plays a pivotal role in enabling red phosphorus to be a promising anode material for high capacity lithium ion batteries and sodium ion batteries. In this paper, nitrogen-doping is proved to effective enhance the interface interaction between carbon and red phosphorus. In detail, the adsorption energy between phosphorus atoms and oxygen-containing functional groups on the carbon is significantly reduced by nitrogen doping, as verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The adsorption mechanisms are further revealed on the basis of DFT (the first density functional theory) calculations. The RPNC (red phosphorus/nitrogen-doped carbon composite) material shows higher cycling stability and higher capacity than that of RPC (red phosphorus/carbon composite) anode. After 100 cycles, the RPNC still keeps discharge capacity of 1453 mAh g-1 at the current density of 300 mA g-1 (the discharge capacity of RPC after 100 cycles is 1348 mAh g-1). Even at 1200 mA g-1, the RPNC composite still delivers a capacity of 1178 mAh g-1. This work provides insight information about the interface interactions between composite materials, as well as new technology develops high performance phosphorus based anode materials.
