Carbon Derived from Pine Needles as a Na+-Storage Electrode Material in Dual-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Pine needles are used as the precursor material to prepare hard carbon. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and N2 adsorption-desorption tests are carried out to characterize the surface, crystal, and pore structure of the material. The pine needle derived carbon (PNC) exhibits excellent Na-ion storage ability. A dual-ion battery of PNC/graphite using a Na+-based organic electrolyte is constructed. The batteries display outstanding electrochemical performance: a superior energy density (200 Wh kg-1 at 131 W kg-1), high cut-off voltage (4.7 V), and outstanding cycling stability (87.2% retention after 1000 cycles). In addition, the separate responses of the cathode and anode are investigated.

Sodium-Vanadium Bronze Na9V14O35: An Electrode Material for Na-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Na9V14O35 (η-NaxV2O5) has been synthesized via solid-state reaction in an evacuated sealed silica ampoule and tested as electroactive material for Na-ion batteries. According to powder X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction and atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy, Na9V14O35 adopts a monoclinic structure consisting of layers of corner- and edge-sharing VO5 tetragonal pyramids and VO4 tetrahedra with Na cations positioned between the layers, and can be considered as sodium vanadium(IV,V) oxovanadate Na9V104.1+O19(V5+O4)4. Behavior of Na9V14O35 as a positive and negative electrode in Na half-cells was investigated by galvanostatic cycling against metallic Na, synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction and electron energy loss spectroscopy. Being charged to 4.6 V vs. Na+/Na, almost 3 Na can be extracted per Na9V14O35 formula, resulting in electrochemical capacity of ~60 mAh g-1. Upon discharge below 1 V, Na9V14O35 uptakes sodium up to Na:V = 1:1 ratio that is accompanied by drastic elongation of the separation between the layers of the VO4 tetrahedra and VO5 tetragonal pyramids and volume increase of about 31%. Below 0.25 V, the ordered layered Na9V14O35 structure transforms into a rock-salt type disordered structure and ultimately into amorphous products of a conversion reaction at 0.1 V. The discharge capacity of 490 mAh g-1 delivered at first cycle due to the conversion reaction fades with the number of charge-discharge cycles.

ϵ-FeOOH: A Novel Negative Electrode Material for Li- and Na-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The demand for eco-friendly materials for secondary batteries has stimulated the exploration of a wide variety of Fe oxides, but their potential as electrode materials remains unknown. In this contribution, ϵ-FeOOH was synthesized using a high-pressure/high-temperature method and examined for the first time in nonaqueous Li and Na cells. Under a pressure of 8 GPa, α-FeOOH transformed into ϵ-FeOOH at 400 °C and then decomposed into α-Fe2O3 and H2O above 500 °C. Here, FeO6 octahedra form [2 × 1] tunnels in α-FeOOH or [1 × 1] tunnels in ϵ-FeOOH. The ϵ-FeOOH/Li cell exhibited a rechargeable capacity (Q recha) of ∼700 mA h·g-1 at 0.02-3.0 V, whereas the ϵ-FeOOH/Na cell indicated a Q recha of less than 30 mA h·g-1 at 0.02-2.7 V. The discharge and charge profiles of ϵ-FeOOH and α-FeOOH were similar, but the rate capability of ϵ-FeOOH was superior to that of α-FeOOH.

Perylenetetracarboxylic Diimide as Diffusion-Less Electrode Material for High-Rate Organic Na-Ion Batteries.

Project description:In this work 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI) is investigated as electrode material for organic Na-ion batteries. Since PTCDI is a widely used industrial pigment, it may turn out to be a cost-effective, abundant, and environmentally benign cathode material for secondary Na-ion batteries. Among other carbonyl pigments, PTCDI is especially interesting due to its high Na-storage capacity in combination with remarkable high rate capabilities. The detailed analysis of cyclic voltammetry measurements reveals a diffusion-less mechanism, suggesting that Na-ion storage in the PTCDI film allows for exceptionally fast charging/discharging rates. This finding is further corroborated by galvanostatic sodiation measurements at high rates of 17 C (2.3 A g-1 ), showing that 57 % of the theoretically possible capacity of PTCDI, or 78 mAh g-1 , are attained in only 3.5 min charging time.

Detailed investigation of Na2.24FePO4CO3 as a cathode material for Na-ion batteries.

Project description:Na-ion batteries are gaining an increased recognition as the next generation low cost energy storage devices. Here, we present a characterization of Na3FePO4CO3 nanoplates as a novel cathode material for sodium ion batteries. First-principles calculations reveal that there are two paths for Na ion migration along b and c axis. In-situ and ex-situ Fe K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) point out that in Na3FePO4CO3 both Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) and Fe(3+)/Fe(4+) redox couples are electrochemically active, suggesting also the existence of a two-electron intercalation reaction. Ex-situ X-ray powder diffraction data demonstrates that the crystalline structure of Na3FePO4CO3 remains stable during the charging/discharging process within the range 2.0-4.55?V.

Electrochemically Expandable Soft Carbon as Anodes for Na-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Na-ion batteries (NIBs) have attracted great attention for scalable electrical energy storage considering the abundance and wide availability of Na resources. However, it remains elusive whether carbon anodes can achieve the similar scale of successes in Na-ion batteries as in Li-ion batteries. Currently, much attention is focused on hard carbon while soft carbon is generally considered a poor choice. In this study, we discover that soft carbon can be a high-rate anode in NIBs if the preparation conditions are carefully chosen. Furthermore, we discover that the turbostratic lattice of soft carbon is electrochemically expandable, where d-spacing rises from 3.6 to 4.2 Å. Such a scale of lattice expansion only due to the Na-ion insertion was not known for carbon materials. It is further learned that portions of such lattice expansion are highly reversible, resulting in excellent cycling performance. Moreover, soft carbon delivers a good capacity at potentials above 0.2 V, which enables an intrinsically dendrite-free anode for NIBs.

Nanostructured Silicon-Carbon 3D Electrode Architectures for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Silicon is an attractive anode material for lithium-ion batteries. However, silicon anodes have the issue of volume change, which causes pulverization and subsequently rapid capacity fade. Herein, we report organic binder and conducting diluent-free silicon-carbon 3D electrodes as anodes for lithium-ion batteries, where we replace the conventional copper (Cu) foil current collector with highly conductive carbon fibers (CFs) of 5-10 μm in diameter. We demonstrate here the petroleum pitch (P-pitch) which adequately coat between the CFs and Si-nanoparticles (NPs) between 700 and 1000 °C under argon atmosphere and forms uniform continuous layer of 6-14 nm thick coating along the exterior surfaces of Si-NPs and 3D CFs. The electrodes fabricate at 1000 °C deliver capacities in excess of 2000 mA h g-1 at C/10 and about 1000 mA h g-1 at 5 C rate for 250 cycles in half-cell configuration. Synergistic effect of carbon coating and 3D CF electrode architecture at 1000 °C improve the efficiency of the Si-C composite during long cycling. Full cells using Si-carbon composite electrode and Li1.2Ni0.15Mn0.55Co0.1O2-based cathode show high open-circuit voltage of >4 V and energy density of >500 W h kg-1. Replacement of organic binder and copper current collector by high-temperature binder P-pitch and CFs further enhances energy density per unit area of the electrode. It is believed that the study will open a new realm of possibility for the development of Li-ion cell having almost double the energy density of currently available Li-ion batteries that is suitable for electric vehicles.

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.

Na+/vacancy disordering promises high-rate Na-ion batteries.

Project description:As one of the most fascinating cathode candidates for Na-ion batteries (NIBs), P2-type Na layered oxides usually exhibit various single-phase domains accompanied by different Na+/vacancy-ordered superstructures, depending on the Na concentration when explored in a limited electrochemical window. Therefore, their Na+ kinetics and cycling stability at high rates are subjected to these superstructures, incurring obvious voltage plateaus in the electrochemical profiles and insufficient battery performance as cathode materials for NIBs. We show that this problem can be effectively diminished by reasonable structure modulation to construct a completely disordered arrangement of Na-vacancy within Na layers. The combined analysis of scanning transmission electron microscopy, ex situ x-ray absorption spectroscopy, and operando x-ray diffraction experiments, coupled with density functional theory calculations, reveals that Na+/vacancy disordering between the transition metal oxide slabs ensures both fast Na mobility (10-10 to 10-9 cm2 s-1) and a low Na diffusion barrier (170 meV) in P2-type compounds. As a consequence, the designed P2-Na2/3Ni1/3Mn1/3Ti1/3O2 displays extra-long cycle life (83.9% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 1 C) and unprecedented rate capability (77.5% of the initial capacity at a high rate of 20 C). These findings open up a new route to precisely design high-rate cathode materials for rechargeable NIBs.

A vanadium-based oxide-phosphate-pyrophosphate framework as a 4 V electrode material for K-ion batteries.

Project description:K-ion batteries (KIBs) are promising for large-scale electrical energy storage owing to the abundant resources and the electrochemical specificity of potassium. Among the positive electrode materials for KIBs, vanadium-based polyanionic materials are interesting because of their high working voltage and good structural stability which dictates the cycle life. In this study, a potassium vanadium oxide phosphate, K6(VO)2(V2O3)2(PO4)4(P2O7), has been investigated as a 4 V class positive electrode material for non-aqueous KIBs. The material is synthesized through pyrolysis of a single metal-organic molecular precursor, K2[(VOHPO4)2(C2O4)] at 500 °C in air. The material demonstrates a reversible extraction/insertion of 2.7 mol of potassium from/into the structure at a discharge voltage of ∼4.03 V vs. K. Operando and ex situ powder X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the material undergoes reversible K extraction/insertion during charge/discharge via a two-phase reaction mechanism. Despite the extraction/insertion of large potassium ions, the material demonstrates an insignificant volume change of ∼1.2% during charge/discharge resulting in excellent cycling stability without capacity degradation over 100 cycles in a highly concentrated electrolyte cell. Robustness of the polyanionic framework is proved from identical XRD patterns of the pristine and cycled electrodes (after 100 cycles).

Binder-Free ?-MnO2 Nanowires on Carbon Cloth as Cathode Material for Zinc-ion Batteries.

Project description:Recently, rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have gained a considerable amount of attention due to their high safety, low toxicity, abundance, and low cost. Traditionally, a composite manganese oxide (MnO2) and a conductive carbon having a polymeric binder are used as a positive electrode. In general, a binder is employed to bond all materials together and to prevent detachment and dissolution of the active materials. Herein, the synthesis of ?-MnO2 nanowires on carbon cloth via a simple one-step hydrothermal process and its electrochemical performance, as a binder-free cathode in aqueous and nonaqueous-based ZIBs, is duly reported. Morphological and elemental analyses reveal a single crystal ?-MnO2 having homogeneous nanowire morphology with preferential growth along {001}. It is significant that analysis of the electrochemical performance of the ?-MnO2 nanowires demonstrates more stable capacity and superior cyclability in a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) electrolyte ZIB than in an aqueous electrolyte system. This is because DMSO can prevent irreversible proton insertion as well as unfavorable dendritic zinc deposition. The application of the binder-free ?-MnO2 nanowires cathode in DMSO can promote follow-up research on the high cyclability of ZIBs.
