Growth of SnO₂ Nanoflowers on N-doped Carbon Nanofibers as Anode for Li- and Na-ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: It is urgent to solve the problems of the dramatic volume expansion and pulverization of SnO₂ anodes during cycling process in battery systems. To address this issue, we design a hybrid structure of N-doped carbon fibers@SnO₂ nanoflowers (NC@SnO₂) to overcome it in this work. The hybrid NC@SnO₂ is synthesized through the hydrothermal growth of SnO₂ nanoflowers on the surface of N-doped carbon fibers obtained by electrospinning. The NC is introduced not only to provide a support framework in guiding the growth of the SnO₂ nanoflowers and prevent the flower-like structures from agglomeration, but also serve as a conductive network to accelerate electronic transmission along one-dimensional structure effectively. When the hybrid NC@SnO₂ was served as anode, it exhibits a high discharge capacity of 750 mAh g^-1 at 1 A g^-1 after 100 cycles in Li-ion battery and 270 mAh g^-1 at 100 mA g^-1 for 100 cycles in Na-ion battery, respectively.

A Nano-Rattle SnO2@carbon Composite Anode Material for High-Energy Li-ion Batteries by Melt Diffusion Impregnation.

Project description:The huge volume expansion in Sn-based alloy anode materials (up to 360%) leads to a dramatic mechanical stress and breaking of particles, resulting in the loss of conductivity and thereby capacity fading. To overcome this issue, SnO2@C nano-rattle composites based on <10 nm SnO2 nanoparticles in and on porous amorphous carbon spheres were synthesized using a silica template and tin melting diffusion method. Such SnO2@C nano-rattle composite electrodes provided two electrochemical processes: a partially reversible process of the SnO2 reduction to metallic Sn at 0.8 V vs. Li+/Li and a reversible process of alloying/dealloying of LixSny at 0.5 V vs. Li+/Li. Good performance could be achieved by controlling the particle sizes of SnO2 and carbon, the pore size of carbon, and the distribution of SnO2 nanoparticles on the carbon shells. Finally, the areal capacity of SnO2@C prepared by the melt diffusion process was increased due to the higher loading of SnO2 nanoparticles into the hollow carbon spheres, as compared with Sn impregnation by a reducing agent.

Construction of Carbon Nanofiber-Wrapped SnO2 Hollow Nanospheres as Flexible Integrated Anode for Half/Full Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:SnO2 is deemed a potential candidate for high energy density (1494 mAh g-1) anode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, its severe volume variation and low intrinsic electrical conductivity result in poor long-term stability and reversibility, limiting the further development of such materials. Therefore, we propose a novel strategy, that is, to prepare SnO2 hollow nanospheres (SnO2-HNPs) by a template method, and then introduce these SnO2-HNPs into one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanofibers (CNFs) uniformly via electrospinning technology. Such a sugar gourd-like construction effectively addresses the limitations of traditional SnO2 during the charging and discharging processes of LIBs. As a result, the optimized product (denoted SnO2-HNP/CNF), a binder-free integrated electrode for half and full LIBs, displays superior electrochemical performance as an anode material, including high reversible capacity (~735.1 mAh g-1 for half LIBs and ~455.3 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 for full LIBs) and favorable long-term cycling stability. This work confirms that sugar gourd-like SnO2-HNP/CNF flexible integrated electrodes prepared with this novel strategy can effectively improve battery performance, providing infinite possibilities for the design and development of flexible wearable battery equipment.

Fe7Se8 encapsulated in N-doped carbon nanofibers as a stable anode material for sodium ion batteries.

Project description:Transition metal chalcogenides especially Fe-based selenides for sodium storage have the advantages of high electric conductivity, low cost, abundant active sites, and high theoretical capacity. Herein, we proposed a facile synthesis of Fe7Se8 embedded in carbon nanofibers (denoted as Fe7Se8-NCFs). The Fe7Se8-NCFs with a 1D electron transfer network can facilitate Na+ transportation to ensure fast reaction kinetics. Moreover, Fe7Se8 encapsulated in carbon nanofibers, Fe7Se8-NCFs, can effectively adapt the volume variation to keep structural integrity during a continuous Na+ insertion and extraction process. As a result, Fe7Se8-NCFs present improved rate performance and remarkable cycling stability for sodium storage. The Fe7Se8-NCFs exhibit practical feasibility with a reasonable specific capacity of 109 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles and a favorable rate capability of 136 mA h g-1 at a high rate of 2 A g-1 when coupled with Na3V2(PO4)3 to assemble full sodium ion batteries.

CoSe2 Nanoparticles Encapsulated by N-Doped Carbon Framework Intertwined with Carbon Nanotubes: High-Performance Dual-Role Anode Materials for Both Li- and Na-Ion Batteries.

Project description:It is of fundamental and technological significance to develop dual-role anode materials for both lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with high performance. Here, a composite material based on CoSe2 nanoparticles encapsulated in N-doped carbon framework intertwined with carbon nanotubes (CoSe2@N-CF/CNTs) is prepared successfully from cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67). As anode materials for LIBs, CoSe2@N-CF/CNTs composites deliver a reversible capacity of 428 mAh g-1 even after 500 cycles at a current density of 1 A g-1 with almost 100% Coulombic efficiency. The charge and discharge mechanisms of CoSe2 are characterized using ex situ X-ray diffraction and Raman analysis, from which the lithiation products of CoSe2 are found to be Li x CoSe2 and Li2Se, which are further converted to CoSe2 upon delithiation. The CoSe2@N-CF/CNTs composites also demonstrate excellent electrochemical performance as anode materials for SIBs with a carbonate-based electrolyte, with specific capacities of 606 and 501 mAh g-1 at 0.1 and 1 A g-1 in the 100th cycle. The electrochemical performance of the anode materials is further studied by pseudocapacitance and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) measurements. This work may be exploited for the rational design and development of dual-role anode materials for both Li- and Na-ion batteries.

In situ approach of cementite nanoparticles encapsulated with nitrogen-doped graphitic shells as anode nanomaterials for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries.

Project description:Novel Fe3C nanoparticles encapsulated with nitrogen-doped graphitic shells were synthesized by floating catalytic pyrolysis. Due to the short synthesis time and controllable pyrolytic temperature, the diameters of Fe3C core nanoparticles ranged from 5 to 15 nm (Fe3C@NGS900 prepared at 900 °C) and the average thickness of N-doped graphitic shells was ∼1.2 nm, leading to their high electrochemical performance: specific capacity of 1300 mA h g-1 at current density 0.2 A g-1, outstanding rate capability of 939 mA h g-1 at 3 A g-1, improved initial coulombic efficiency (Fe3C@NGS900: 72.1% vs. NGS900 (pure graphitic shells): 52%) for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), and impressive long-term cycle performance (1399 mA h g-1 maintained at 3 A g-1 after 500 cycles for LIBs; 214 mA h g-1 maintained at 1 A g-1 after 500 cycles for sodium ion batteries).

Colloidal Antimony Sulfide Nanoparticles as a High-Performance Anode Material for Li-ion and Na-ion Batteries.

Project description:To maximize the anodic charge storage capacity of Li-ion and Na-ion batteries (LIBs and SIBs, respectively), the conversion-alloying-type Sb2S3 anode has attracted considerable interest because of its merits of a high theoretical capacity of 946 mAh g-1 and a suitable anodic lithiation/delithiation voltage window of 0.1-2 V vs. Li+/Li. Recent advances in nanostructuring of the Sb2S3 anode provide an effective way of mitigating the challenges of structure conversion and volume expansion upon lithiation/sodiation that severely hinder the Sb2S3 cycling stability. In this context, we report uniformly sized colloidal Sb2S3 nanoparticles (NPs) as a model Sb2S3 anode material for LIBs and SIBs to investigate the effect of the primary particle size on the electrochemical performance of the Sb2S3 anode. We found that compared with microcrystalline Sb2S3, smaller ca. 20-25 nm and ca. 180-200 nm Sb2S3 NPs exhibit enhanced cycling stability as anode materials in both rechargeable LIBs and SIBs. Importantly, for the ca. 20-25 nm Sb2S3 NPs, a high initial Li-ion storage capacity of 742 mAh g-1 was achieved at a current density of 2.4 A g-1. At least 55% of this capacity was retained after 1200 cycles, which is among the most stable performance Sb2S3 anodes for LIBs.

Rational Design of 1-D Co3O4 Nanofibers@Low content Graphene Composite Anode for High Performance Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Cobalt oxide that has high energy density, is the next-generation candidate as the anode material for LIBs. However, the practical use of Co3O4 as anode material has been hindered by limitations, especially, low electrical conductivity and pulverization from large volume change upon cycling. These features lead to hindrance to its electrochemical properties for lithium-ion batteries. To improve electrochemical properties, we synthesized one-dimensional (1-D) Co3O4 nanofibers (NFs) overed with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets by electrostatic self-assembly (Co3O4 NFs@rGO). The flexible graphene oxide sheets not only prevent volume changes of active materials upon cycling as a clamping layer but also provide efficient electrical pathways by three-dimensional (3-D) network architecture. When applied as an anode for LIBs, the Co3O4 NFs@rGO exhibits superior electrochemical performance: (i) high reversible capacity (615 mAh g-1 and 92% capacity retention after 400 cycles at 4.0 A g-1) and (ii) excellent rate capability. Herein, we highlighted that the enhanced conversion reaction of the Co3O4 NFs@rGO is attributed to effective combination of 1-D nanostructure and low content of rGO (~3.5 wt%) in hybrid composite.

High-Loading Carbon Nanotubes on Polymer Nanofibers as Stand-Alone Anode Materials for Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:To address the instability and repulsive interaction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in Li-ion batteries, mixed polymers (polyacrylonitrile and polyvinylpyrrolidone) were employed as matrix support to ensure that CNT particles remain in place during charge/discharge process and prevent particle migration. Various CNT-based anodes have been reported, but these require metal support that could result in contact resistance. Hence, free-standing CNT electrodes are an attractive option. A simple method of electrospinning polymers and calcination at 800 °C is presented with CNT loading as high as 50 wt % can be obtained without binder and acts as main active material rather than an additive as described in previous studies. The anode [pyrolyzed polymer (PP)-CNT] showed excellent performance with a high discharge specific capacity of 960 mA h/g at a current density of 200 mA/g. The capacity at a higher current density (1600 mA/g) remained greater than graphite (372 mA h/g) at 521 mA h/g and showed a high stability for 675 cycles without exhibiting any significant capacity loss with a Coulombic efficiency of >95%. A rate capability experiment showed the reversibility of PP-CNTs after subjecting them to an increasing current density and regaining >95% of the initial capacity at a low current density (200 mA/g). The high capacitive performance of the material is attributed to the high loading of CNTs and their containment within the bulk of the polymer matrix to prevent particle migration and agglomeration as well as the capacity of the nanofibers to preserve a tight proximity of the electrolyte-electrode interface.

First-Principles Studies on Transition Metal Doped Mo2B2 as Anode Material for Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:New two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal borides have attracted considerable interest in research on electrode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their promising properties. In this study, 2D molybdenum boride (Mo2B2) with and without transition metal (TM, TM=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, and Pt) atom doping was investigated. Our results indicated that all TM-doped Mo2B2 samples exhibited excellent electronic conductivity, similar to the intrinsic 2D Mo2B2 metal behavior, which is highly beneficial for application in LIBs. Moreover, we found that the diffusion energy barriers of Li along paths 1 and 2 for all TM-doped Mo2B2 samples are smaller than 0.30 and 0.24 eV of the pristine Mo2B2. In particular, for 2D Co-doped Mo2B2, the diffusion energy barriers of Li along paths 1 and 2 are reduced to 0.14 and 0.11 eV, respectively, making them the lowest Li diffusion barriers in both paths 1 and 2. This indicates that TM doping can improve the electrochemical performance of 2D Mo2B2 and that Co-doped Mo2B2 is a promising electrode material for LIBs. Our work not only identifies electrode materials with promising electrochemical performance but also provides guidance for the design of high-performance electrode materials for LIBs.
