Plate-to-Layer Bi₂MoO₆/MXene-Heterostructured Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Bi₂MoO₆ is a potentially promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) on account of its high theoretical capacity coupled with low desertion potential. Due to low conductivity and large volume expansion/contraction during charge/discharge cycling of Bi₂MoO₆, effective modification is indispensable to address these issues. In this study, a plate-to-layer Bi₂MoO₆/Ti₃C₂T_x (MXene) heterostructure is proposed by electrostatic assembling positive-charged Bi₂MoO₆ nanoplates on negative-charged MXene nanosheets. MXene nanosheets in the heterostructure act as a highly conductive substrate to load and anchor the Bi₂MoO₆ nanoplates, so as to improve electronic conductivity and structural stability. When the mass ratio of MXene is optimized to 30%, the Bi₂MoO₆/MXene heterostructure exhibits high specific capacities of 692 mAh g^-1 at 100 mA g^-1 after 200 cycles and 545.1 mAh g^-1 with 99.6% coulombic efficiency at 1 A g^-1 after 1000 cycles. The results provide not only a high-performance lithium storage material, but also an effective strategy that could address the intrinsic issues of various transition metal oxides by anchoring them on MXene nanosheets to form heterostructures and use as anode materials for LIBs.

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.

First-principles calculations of an asymmetric MoO2/graphene nanocomposite as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Previous work on the synthesis and preparation of MoO2/graphene nanocomposites (MoO2/G) indicates that MoO2/G is a good anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBS). In this work, we used larger super-cells than those used previously to theoretically construct an asymmetric MoO2/G nanocomposite with smaller lattice mismatch. We then calculated the structural, electronic and Li atom diffusion properties of MoO2/G using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The results show that asymmetric MoO2/G has metallic properties, good stability and a low Li atom diffusion barrier because of the charge transfer induced by van der Waals interactions. The Li diffusion barriers in the interlayer of MoO2/G are in the range of 0.02-0.29 eV, depending on the relative positions of the Li atom and the MoO2 and the C atoms in the graphene layer. The Li diffusion barriers on the outside layers of the MoO2/G nanocomposite are smaller than those of its pristine materials (MoO2 and graphene). These results are consistent with experimental results. The adsorption of Li atoms in the interlayer of the nanocomposite further promotes the adsorption of Li atoms on the outside sites of the MoO2 layer. Hence, the specific capacity of the MoO2/G nanocomposite is larger than 1682 mA h g-1. These properties all indicate that MoO2/G is a good anode material for LIBS.

Atomic layer deposition of ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates as ultra-long life anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:In this work, we designed ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as anode material for lithium ion batteries. ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates were fabricated on copper foil by depositing unit of 26 cycles ZnO/26 cycles TiO2 repeatedly using ALD. ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates are much more stable than pristine ZnO films during electrochemical cycling process. Therefore, ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates exhibit excellent lithium storage performance with an improved cycling performance and superior rate capability compared to pristine ZnO films. Moreover, coulombic efficiency (CE) of ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates is above 99%, which is much higher than the value of pristine ZnO films. Excellent ultralong-life performance is gained for ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates, retaining a reversible capacity of ~667 mAh g-1 within cut-off voltage of 0.05-2.5 V after 1200 cycles of charge-discharge at 500 mA g-1. Constructing nanolaminates structures via ALD might open up new opportunities for improving the performance of anode materials with large volume expansion in lithium ion batteries.

Heterostructured SnO2-SnS2@C Embedded in Nitrogen-Doped Graphene as a Robust Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Tin-based anode materials with high capacity attract wide attention of researchers and become a strong competitor for the next generation of lithium-ion battery anode materials. However, the poor electrical conductivity and severe volume expansion retard the commercialization of tin-based anode materials. Here, SnO2-SnS2@C nanoparticles with heterostructure embedded in a carbon matrix of nitrogen-doped graphene (SnO2-SnS2@C/NG) is ingeniously designed in this work. The composite was synthesized by a two-step method. Firstly, the SnO2@C/rGO with a nano-layer structure was synthesized by hydrothermal method as the precursor, and then the SnO2-SnS2@C/NG composite was obtained by further vulcanizing the above precursor. It should be noted that a carbon matrix with nitrogen-doped graphene can inhibit the volume expansion of SnO2-SnS2 nanoparticles and promote the transport of lithium ions during continuous cycling. Benefiting from the synergistic effect between nanoparticles and carbon matrix with nitrogen-doped graphene, the heterostructured SnO2-SnS2@C/NG further fundamentally confer improved structural stability and reaction kinetics for lithium storage. As expected, the SnO2-SnS2@C/NG composite exhibited high reversible capacity (1201.2 mA h g-1 at the current rate of 0.1 A g-1), superior rate capability and exceptional long-life stability (944.3 mAh g-1 after 950 cycles at the current rate of 1.0 A g-1). The results demonstrate that the SnO2-SnS2@C/NG composite is a highly competitive anode material for LIBs.

Nature of Bimetallic Oxide Sb2MoO6/rGO Anode for High-Performance Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are one of the most appealing alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, particularly attractive in large-scale energy storage devices considering the more sufficient and lower cost supply of potassium resources in comparison with lithium. To achieve more competitive KIBs, it is necessary to search for anode materials with a high performance. Herein, the bimetallic oxide Sb2MoO6, with the presence of reduced graphene oxide, is reported as a high-performance anode material for KIBs in this study, achieving discharge capacities as high as 402 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and 381 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1, and reserving a capacity of 247 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 500 mA g-1. Meanwhile, the potassiation/depotassiation mechanism of this material is probed in-depth through the electrochemical characterization, operando X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, and density functional theory calculation, successfully unraveling the nature of the high-performance anode and the functions of Sb and Mo in Sb2MoO6. More importantly, the phase development and bond breaking sequence of Sb2MoO6 are successfully identified, which is meaningful for the fundamental study of metal-oxide based electrode materials for KIBs.

Electrostatic Self-assembly of 0D-2D SnO2 Quantum Dots/Ti3C2Tx MXene Hybrids as Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:MXenes, a new family of two-dimensional (2D) materials with excellent electronic conductivity and hydrophilicity, have shown distinctive advantages as a highly conductive matrix material for lithium-ion battery anodes. Herein, a facile electrostatic self-assembly of SnO2 quantum dots (QDs) on Ti3C2Tx MXene sheets is proposed. The as-prepared SnO2/MXene hybrids have a unique 0D-2D structure, in which the 0D SnO2 QDs (~ 4.7 nm) are uniformly distributed over 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene sheets with controllable loading amount. The SnO2 QDs serve as a high capacity provider and the "spacer" to prevent the MXene sheets from restacking; the highly conductive Ti3C2Tx MXene can not only provide efficient pathways for fast transport of electrons and Li ions, but also buffer the volume change of SnO2 during lithiation/delithiation by confining SnO2 QDs between the MXene nanosheets. Therefore, the 0D-2D SnO2 QDs/MXene hybrids deliver superior lithium storage properties with high capacity (887.4 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1), stable cycle performance (659.8 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 91%) and excellent rate performance (364 mAh g-1 at 3 A g-1), making it a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Sintering Temperature Induced Evolution of Microstructures and Enhanced Electrochemical Performances: Sol-Gel Derived LiFe(MoO4)2 Microcrystals as a Promising Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:A facile sol-gel process was used for synthesis of LiFe(MoO4)2 microcrystals. The effects of sintering temperature on the microstructures and electrochemical performances of the as-synthesized samples were systematically investigated through XRD, SEM and electrochemical performance characterization. When sintered at 650°C, the obtained LiFe(MoO4)2 microcrystals show regular shape and uniform size distribution with mean size of 1-2 ?m. At the lower temperature (600°C), the obtained LiFe(MoO4)2 microcrystals possess relative inferior crystallinity, irregular morphology and vague grain boundary. At the higher temperatures (680 and 700°C), the obtained LiFe(MoO4)2 microcrystals are larger and thicker particles. The electrochemical results demonstrate that the optimized LiFe(MoO4)2 microcrystals (650°C) can deliver a high discharge specific capacity of 925 mAh g-1 even at a current rate of 1 C (1,050 mA g-1) after 500 cycles. Our work can provide a good guidance for the controllable synthesis of other transition metal NASICON-type electrode materials.

Anode interfacial layer formation via reductive ethyl detaching of organic iodide in lithium-oxygen batteries.

Project description:As soluble catalysts, redox mediators can reduce the high charging overpotential of lithium-oxygen batteries by providing sufficient liquid-solid interface for lithium peroxide decomposition. However, the redox mediators usually introduce undesirable reactions. In particular, the so-called "shuttle effect" leads to the loss of both the redox mediators and electrical energy efficiency. In this study, an organic compound, triethylsulfonium iodide, is found to act bifunctionally as both a redox mediator and a solid electrolyte interphase-forming agent for lithium-oxygen batteries. During charging, the organic iodide exhibits comparable lithium peroxide-oxidizing capability with inorganic iodides. Meanwhile, it in situ generates an interfacial layer on lithium anode via reductive ethyl detaching and the subsequent oxidation. This layer prevents the lithium anode from reacting with the redox mediators and allows efficient lithium-ion transfer leading to dendrite-free lithium anode. Significantly improved cycling performance has been achieved by the bifunctional organic iodide redox mediator.

Project description:The development of Zn-free anodes to inhibit Zn dendrite formation and modulate high-capacity Zn batteries is highly applauded yet very challenging. Here, we design a robust two-dimensional antimony/antimony-zinc alloy heterostructured interface to regulate Zn plating. Benefiting from the stronger adsorption and homogeneous electric field distribution of the Sb/Sb2Zn3-heterostructured interface in Zn plating, the Zn anode enables an ultrahigh areal capacity of 200 mAh cm-2 with an overpotential of 112 mV and a Coulombic efficiency of 98.5%. An anode-free Zn-Br2 battery using the Sb/Sb2Zn3-heterostructured interface@Cu anode shows an attractive energy density of 274 Wh kg-1 with a practical pouch cell energy density of 62 Wh kg-1. The scaled-up Zn-Br2 battery in a capacity of 500 mAh exhibits over 400 stable cycles. Further, the Zn-Br2 battery module in an energy of 9 Wh (6 V, 1.5 Ah) is integrated with a photovoltaic panel to demonstrate the practical renewable energy storage capabilities. Our superior anode-free Zn batteries enabled by the heterostructured interface enlighten an arena towards large-scale energy storage applications.

Pt nanoparticles decorated heterostructured g-C3N4/Bi2MoO6 microplates with highly enhanced photocatalytic activities under visible light.

Project description:Exploring an efficient and photostable heterostructured photocatalyst is a pivotal scientific topic for worldwide energy and environmental concerns. Herein, we reported that Pt decorated g-C3N4/Bi2MoO6 heterostructured composites with enhanced photocatalytic performance under visible light were simply synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method for methylene blue (MB) dye degradation. Results revealed that the synthetic Pt decorated g-C3N4/Bi2MoO6 composites with Bi2MoO6 contents of 20 wt.% (Pt@CN/20%BMO) presented the highest photocatalytic activity, exhibiting 7 and 18 times higher reactivity than the pure g-C3N4 and Bi2MoO6, respectively. Structural analyses showed that Bi2MoO6 microplates were anchored on the wrinkled flower-like g-C3N4 matrix with Pt decoration, leading to a large expansion of specific surface area from 10.79 m2/g for pure Bi2MoO6 to 46.09 m2/g for Pt@CN/20%BMO. In addition, the Pt@CN/20%BMO composites exhibited an improved absorption ability in the visible light region, presenting a promoted photocatalytic MB degradation. Quenching experiments were also conducted to provide solid evidences for the production of hydroxyl radicals (•OH), electrons (e-), holes (h+) and superoxide radicals (•O2-) during dye degradation. The findings in this critical work provide insights into the synthesis of heterostructured photocatalysts with the optimization of band gaps, light response and photocatalytic performance in wastewater remediation.
