Indium-Doped Rutile Titanium Oxide with Reduced Particle Length and Its Sodium Storage Properties.

ABSTRACT: We hydrothermally synthesized In-doped rutile TiO2 particles in an anionic surfactant solution and investigated the influences of In doping and the particle morphology on the Na+ storage properties. The solid solubility limit was found to be 0.8 atom % in In-doped TiO2. In the case where no surfactant was used, the best anode performance was obtained for 0.8 atom % In-doped TiO2 electrode by the benefits of three doping effects: (i) expanded diffusion-path size, (ii) improved electronic conductivity, and (iii) reduced electron charge density in the path. Further enhancement in the performance was achieved for the In-doped TiO2 with a reduced particle length by the synthesis in the surfactant solution. This electrode exhibited a better cycle stability and maintained a high discharge capacity of 240 mA h g–1 for 200 cycles. The reason is probably that Na+ can be inserted in the inner part of TiO2 particles because of its reduced particle length.

3D free-standing nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide aerogel as anode material for sodium ion batteries with enhanced sodium storage.

Project description:Sodium ion batteries have drawn extensive attentions for large-scale energy storage to replace lithium ion batteries primarily due to the natural abundance of sodium resource and low cost, but their energy density and electrochemical performance are hindered by the sluggish diffusion kinetics of sodium ion. Herein, free-standing nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel has been fabricated via hydrothermal reaction as the potential anode material for sodium ion batteries. The three dimensional porous network structure of the graphene aerogel provides sufficient interstitial space for sodium ion accommodation, allowing fast and reversible ion intercalation/de-intercalation. The nitrogen doping could introduce defects on the graphene sheets, making the feasible transport of large-sized sodium ion. Benefiting from the effective structure and nitrogen doping, the obtained material demonstrates high reversible capacities, good cycling performance (287.9?mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at a current density of 100?mA?g-1), especially superior rate capability (151.9?mA h g-1 at a high current density of 5?A g-1).

Facile Synthesis of Sn/Nitrogen-Doped Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites with Superb Lithium Storage Properties.

Project description:Sn/Nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (Sn@N-G) composites have been successfully synthesized via a facile method for lithium-ion batteries. Compared with the Sn or Sn/graphene anodes, the Sn@N-G anode exhibits a superb rate capability of 535 mAh g-1 at 2C and cycling stability up to 300 cycles at 0.5C. The improved lithium-storage performance of Sn@N-G anode could be ascribed to the effective graphene wrapping, which accommodates the large volume change of Sn during the charge-discharge process, while the nitrogen doping increases the electronic conductivity of graphene, as well as provides a large number of active sites as reservoirs for Li+ storage.

Charge storage mechanisms of manganese oxide nanosheets and N-doped reduced graphene oxide aerogel for high-performance asymmetric supercapacitors.

Project description:Although manganese oxide- and graphene-based supercapacitors have been widely studied, their charge storage mechanisms are not yet fully investigated. In this work, we have studied the charge storage mechanisms of K-birnassite MnO2 nanosheets and N-doped reduced graphene oxide aerogel (N-rGOae) using an in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and an electrochemical quart crystal microbalance (EQCM). The oxidation number of Mn at the MnO2 electrode is +3.01 at 0?V vs. SCE for the charging process and gets oxidized to +3.12 at +0.8?V vs. SCE and then reduced back to +3.01 at 0?V vs. SCE for the discharging process. The mass change of solvated ions, inserted to the layers of MnO2 during the charging process is 7.4??g?cm-2. Whilst, the mass change of the solvated ions at the N-rGOae electrode is 8.4??g?cm-2. An asymmetric supercapacitor of MnO2//N-rGOae (CR2016) provides a maximum specific capacitance of ca. 467?F?g-1 at 1?A?g-1, a maximum specific power of 39?kW?kg-1 and a specific energy of 40?Wh?kg-1 with a wide working potential of 1.6?V and 93.2% capacity retention after 7,500 cycles. The MnO2//N-rGOae supercapacitor may be practically used in high power and energy applications.

Solution Combustion Synthesis of Hafnium-Doped Indium Oxide Thin Films for Transparent Conductors.

Project description:Indium oxide (In2O3)-based transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) have been widely used and studied for a variety of applications, such as optoelectronic devices. However, some of the more promising dopants (zirconium, hafnium, and tantalum) for this oxide have not received much attention, as studies have mainly focused on tin and zinc, and even fewer have been explored by solution processes. This work focuses on developing solution-combustion-processed hafnium (Hf)-doped In2O3 thin films and evaluating different annealing parameters on TCO's properties using a low environmental impact solvent. Optimized TCOs were achieved for 0.5 M% Hf-doped In2O3 when produced at 400 °C, showing high transparency in the visible range of the spectrum, a bulk resistivity of 5.73 × 10-2 Ω.cm, a mobility of 6.65 cm2/V.s, and a carrier concentration of 1.72 × 1019 cm-3. Then, these results were improved by using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) for 10 min at 600 °C, reaching a bulk resistivity of 3.95 × 10 -3 Ω.cm, a mobility of 21 cm2/V.s, and a carrier concentration of 7.98 × 1019 cm-3, in air. The present work brings solution-based TCOs a step closer to low-cost optoelectronic applications.

Novel niobium-doped titanium oxide towards electrochemical destruction of forever chemicals.

Project description:Electrochemical advanced oxidative processes (EAOP) are a promising route to destroy recalcitrant organic contaminants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. Central to EAOP are catalysis-induced reactive free radicals for breaking the carbon fluorine bonds in PFAS. Generating these reactive species electrochemically at electrodes provides an advantage over other oxidation processes that rely on chemicals or other harsh conditions. Herein, we report on the performance of niobium (Nb) doped rutile titanium oxide (TiO2) as a novel EAOP catalytic material, combining theoretical modeling with experimental synthesis and characterization. Calculations based on density functional theory are used to predict the overpotential for oxygen evolution at these candidate electrodes, which must be high in order to oxidize PFAS. The results indicate a non-monotonic trend in which Nb doping below 6.25 at.% is expected to reduce performance relative to TiO2, while higher concentrations up to 12.5 at.% lead to increased performance, approaching that of state-of-the-art Magnéli Ti4O7. TiO2 samples were synthesized with Nb doping concentration at 10 at.%, heat treated at temperatures from 800 to 1100 °C, and found to exhibit high oxidative stability and high generation of reactive oxygen free radical species. The capability of Nb-doped TiO2 to destroy two common species of PFAS in challenge water was tested, and moderate reduction by ~ 30% was observed, comparable to that of Ti4O7 using a simple three-electrode configuration. We conclude that Nb-doped TiO2 is a promising alternative EAOP catalytic material with increased activity towards generating reactive oxygen species and warrants further development for electrochemically destroying PFAS contaminants.

Anataselike Grain Boundary Structure in Rutile Titanium Dioxide.

Project description:The formation of nanoscale phases at grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials has attracted much attention, since it offers a route toward targeted and controlled design of interface properties. However, understanding structure-property relationships at these complex interfacial defects is hampered by the great challenge of accurately determining their atomic structure. Here, we combine advanced electron microscopy together with ab initio random structure searching to determine the atomic structure of an experimentally fabricated Σ13 (221) [11̅0] grain boundary in rutile TiO2. Through careful analysis of the atomic structure and complementary electron energy-loss spectroscopy analysis we identify the existence of a unique nanoscale phase at the grain boundary with striking similarities to the bulk anatase crystal structure. Our results show a path to embed nanoscale anatase into rutile TiO2 and showcase how the atomic structure of even complex internal interfaces can be accurately determined using a combined theoretical and experimental approach.

Molecular mechanism of monodisperse colloidal tin-doped indium oxide nanocrystals by a hot-injection approach.

Project description:Molecular mechanisms and precursor conversion pathways associated with the reactions that generate colloidal nanocrystals are crucial for the development of rational synthetic protocols. In this study, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy technique was employed to explore the molecular mechanism associated with the formation of tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) nanocrystals. We found that the reaction pathways of the indium precursor were not consistent with simple ligand replacements proposed in the literature. The resulting understanding inspired us to design a hot-injection approach to separate the ligand replacements of indium acetate and the aminolysis processes, generating quality ITO nanocrystals with decent size distributions. The hot-injection approach was readily applied to the synthesis of ITO nanocrystals with a broad range of tin doping. Structural, chemical, and optical analyses revealed effective doping of Sn4+ ions into the host lattices, leading to characteristic and tunable near-infrared surface plasmon resonance peaks. The size control of ITO nanocrystals by multiple hot-injections of metal precursors was also demonstrated.

A Novel Tin-Doped Titanium Oxide Nanocomposite for Efficient Photo-Anodic Water Splitting.

Project description:Herein, we report the expedient synthesis of new nanocomposite Sn0.39Ti0.61O2·TiO2 flakes using simple sol-gel and calcination methods. In order to prepare this material, first, we generated a polymeric gel using cost-effective and easily accessible precursors such as SnCl4, titanium isopropoxide, and tetrahydrofuran (THF). A small amount of triflic acid was used to initiate THF polymerization. The calcination of the resulting gel at 500 °C produced a Sn-Ti bimetallic nanocomposite. This newly synthesized Sn0.39Ti0.61O2·TiO2 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV-visible spectroscopy. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) studies were performed for the first time using Sn0.39Ti0.61O2·TiO2 coated over fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) under simulated 1 sun solar radiation. The chronoamperometric study of the Sn0.39Ti0.61O2·TiO2/FTO revealed the repeatable and substantially higher photocurrent for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) when compared to only TiO2. Moreover, the synthesized material exhibited high stability both in the presence and absence of light. The photocatalytic studies suggested that the sol-gel-synthesized Sn0.39Ti0.61O2·TiO2 can be efficiently used as a photoanode in the water-splitting reaction.

Sb-Doped Titanium Oxide: A Rationale for Its Photocatalytic Activity for Environmental Remediation.

Project description:The problem of water purification is one of the most urgent issues in developing countries, where large infrastructures and energy resources are limited. Among the possibilities for a cheap route to clean water, photocatalytic materials in the form of coatings or nanostructures are among the most promising. The most widely studied photocatalytic material is titanium dioxide (TiO2). Here, we investigate the photocatalytic properties of 1.5% Sb-doped TiO2 and laser-irradiated Sb-doped TiO x . Calcined Sb-doped TiO2 was found to adopt the rutile structure, but it turned amorphous after laser irradiation. Photocatalytic tests for Sb-doped TiO2 showed an activity 1 order of magnitude higher than that of an undoped TiO2 control sample under both ultraviolet and visible irradiation. A further sizeable enhancement resulted from laser irradiation. The increased photocatalytic activity is ascribed to both enhanced visible region absorption associated with Sb-induced lone pair surface electronic states and trapping of the holes at the lone pair surface sites, thus inhibiting the recombination of the electrons and holes generated in the initial photoexcitation step. This study shows the first rationalization of the photocatalytic properties of Sb-TiO2 in terms of its electronic structure.

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.
