MXene-Derived Defect-Rich TiO₂@rGO as High-Rate Anodes for Full Na Ion Batteries and Capacitors.

ABSTRACT: Sodium ion batteries and capacitors have demonstrated their potential applications for next-generation low-cost energy storage devices. These devices's rate ability is determined by the fast sodium ion storage behavior in electrode materials. Herein, a defective TiO₂@reduced graphene oxide (M-TiO₂@rGO) self-supporting foam electrode is constructed via a facile MXene decomposition and graphene oxide self-assembling process. The employment of the MXene parent phase exhibits distinctive advantages, enabling defect engineering, nanoengineering, and fluorine-doped metal oxides. As a result, the M-TiO₂@rGO electrode shows a pseudocapacitance-dominated hybrid sodium storage mechanism. The pseudocapacitance-dominated process leads to high capacity, remarkable rate ability, and superior cycling performance. Significantly, an M-TiO₂@rGO//Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ sodium full cell and an M-TiO₂@rGO//HPAC sodium ion capacitor are fabricated to demonstrate the promising application of M-TiO₂@rGO. The sodium ion battery presents a capacity of 177.1 mAh g^-1 at 500 mA g^-1 and capacity retention of 74% after 200 cycles. The sodium ion capacitor delivers a maximum energy density of 101.2 Wh kg^-1 and a maximum power density of 10,103.7 W kg^-1. At 1.0 A g^-1, it displays an energy retention of 84.7% after 10,000 cycles.

RGO-Coated TiO2 Microcones for High-Rate Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-coated TiO2 microcones have been synthesized via simple anodization and cyclic voltammetry for use in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Microcones had a perpendicularly oriented hollow core, an anatase structure, and a high surface area, allowing higher capacity than other nanosized TiO2 structures. TiO2 has low electrical conductivity, leading to the limitation of fast charging and high capacity; however, this was improved by the application of an RGO coating in this work. As anode materials of LIB, the obtained RGO microcone showed a capacity of 157 mAh g-1 at 10C (fully charged within ∼360 s) and sustained 1000 cycles with only 0.02% capacity fading per cycle. The capacity was 1.5 times higher than that of conventional microcone. We speculated that the decrease in the charge-transfer resistance (R ct) played a crucial role in increasing the capacity with fast charging.

Quasi-solid state rechargeable Na-CO2 batteries with reduced graphene oxide Na anodes.

Project description:Na-CO2 batteries using earth-abundant Na and greenhouse gas CO2 are promising tools for mobile and stationary energy storage, but they still pose safety risks from leakage of liquid electrolyte and instability of the Na metal anode. These issues result in extremely harsh operating conditions of Na-CO2 batteries and increase the difficulty of scaling up this technology. We report the development of quasi-solid state Na-CO2 batteries with high safety using composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) Na anodes. The CPE of PVDF-HFP [poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)]-4% SiO2/NaClO4-TEGDME (tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether) has high ion conductivity (1.0 mS cm-1), robust toughness, a nonflammable matrix, and strong electrolyte-locking ability. In addition, the rGO-Na anode presents fast and nondendritic Na+ plating/stripping (5.7 to 16.5 mA cm-2). The improved kinetics and safety enable the constructed rGO-Na/CPE/CO2 batteries to successfully cycle in wide CO2 partial pressure window (5 to 100%, simulated car exhaust) and especially to run for 400 cycles at 500 mA g-1 with a fixed capacity of 1000 mA·hour g-1 in pure CO2. Furthermore, we scaled up the reversible capacity to 1.1 A·hour in pouch-type batteries (20 × 20 cm, 10 g, 232 Wh kg-1). This study makes quasi-solid state Na-CO2 batteries an attractive prospect.

TiO2 Hollow Spheres With Flower-Like SnO2 Shell as Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:SnO2 is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacity and low operation voltage. However, its poor cycling performance hinders its commercial application. In order to improve the cycling stability of SnO2 electrodes, novel flower-like SnO2/TiO2 hollow spheres were prepared by facile hydrothermal method using carbon spheres as templates. Their flower-like shell and mesoporous structure highlighted a large specific surface area and excellent ion migration performance. Their TiO2 hollow sphere matrix and 2D SnO2 nano-flakes ensured good cycle stability. The electrochemical measurements indicated that novel flower-like SnO2/TiO2 hollow spheres delivered a high specific capacity, low irreversible capacity loss and superior rate performance. After 1,000 cycles at current densities of 200 mA g-1, the capacity of the flower-like SnO2/TiO2 hollow spheres was still maintained at 720 mAh g-1. Their rate capacity reached 486 mAh g-1 when the current densities gradually increase to 2,000 mA g-1.

ALD Al2O3-Coated TiO2 Nanotube Layers as Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The utilization of the anodic TiO2 nanotube layers, with uniform Al2O3 coatings of different thicknesses (prepared by atomic layer deposition, ALD), as the new electrode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), is reported herein. Electrodes with very thin Al2O3 coatings (∼1 nm) show a superior electrochemical performance for use in LIBs compared to that of the uncoated TiO2 nanotube layers. A more than 2 times higher areal capacity is received on these coated TiO2 nanotube layers (∼75 vs 200 μAh/cm2) as well as higher rate capability and coulombic efficiency of the charging and discharging reactions. Reasons for this can be attributed to an increased mechanical stability of the TiO2 nanotube layers upon Al2O3 coating, as well as to an enhanced diffusion of the Li+ ions within the coated nanotube layers. In contrast, thicker ALD Al2O3 coatings result in a blocking of the electrode surface and therefore an areal capacity decrease.

Double transition metal MXene (TixTa4-xC3) 2D materials as anodes for Li-ion batteries.

Project description:A bi-metallic titanium-tantalum carbide MXene, TixTa(4-x)C3 is successfully prepared via etching of Al atoms from parent TixTa(4-x)AlC3 MAX phase for the first time. X-ray diffractometer and Raman spectroscopic analysis proved the crystalline phase evolution from the MAX phase to the lamellar MXene arrangements. Also, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study confirmed that the synthesized MXene is free from Al after hydro fluoric acid (HF) etching process as well as partial oxidation of Ti and Ta. Moreover, the FE-SEM and TEM characterizations demonstrate the exfoliation process tailored by the TixTa(4-x)C3 MXene after the Al atoms from its corresponding MAX TixTa(4-x)AlC3 phase, promoting its structural delamination with an expanded interlayer d-spacing, which can allow an effective reversible Li-ion storage. The lamellar TixTa(4-x)C3 MXene demonstrated a reversible specific discharge capacity of 459 mAhg-1 at an applied C-rate of 0.5 °C with a capacity retention of 97% over 200 cycles. An excellent electrochemical redox performance is attributed to the formation of a stable, promising bi-metallic MXene material, which stores Li-ions on the surface of its layers. Furthermore, the TixTa(4-x)C3 MXene anode demonstrate a high rate capability as a result of its good electron and Li-ion transport, suggesting that it is a promising candidate as Li-ion anode material.

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.

Sea Urchin-like Si@MnO2@rGO as Anodes for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Si is a promising material for applications as a high-capacity anode material of lithium-ion batteries. However, volume expansion, poor electrical conductivity, and a short cycle life during the charging/discharging process limit the commercial use. In this paper, new ternary composites of sea urchin-like Si@MnO2@reduced graphene oxide (rGO) prepared by a simple, low-cost chemical method are presented. These can effectively reduce the volume change of Si, extend the cycle life, and increase the lithium-ion battery capacity due to the dual protection of MnO2 and rGO. The sea urchin-like Si@MnO2@rGO anode shows a discharge specific capacity of 1282.72 mAh g-1 under a test current of 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles and excellent chemical performance at different current densities. Moreover, the volume expansion of sea urchin-like Si@MnO2@rGO anode material is ~50% after 150 cycles, which is much less than the volume expansion of Si (300%). This anode material is economical and environmentally friendly and this work made efforts to develop efficient methods to store clean energy and achieve carbon neutrality.

Synthesis and Characterizations of Na4MnCr(PO4)3/rGO as NASICON-Type Cathode Materials for Sodium-ion Batteries.

Project description:NASICON-type Na4MnCr(PO4)3 (NMCP) wrapped with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was synthesized via a simple sol-gel method as composite cathode material Na4MnCr(PO4)3/rGO (NMCP/rGO) for Na ion batteries. The surface morphology, crystal structure and pore size distribution of pristine NMCP and as-synthesized NMCP/rGO composite cathode are identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical performance of composition-optimized NMCP/rGO composite cathode presents stable capacity retention and rate capability. The capacity retention of as-synthesized NMCP/rGO composite is 63.8%, and average coulombic efficiency maintains over 98.7% for 200 cycles. The reversible capacity of as-synthesized NMCP/rGO composite cathode still retained 45 mAh/g and 38 mAh/g under a current density of 0.5 A/g and 1.0 A/g, respectively, which was better than that of pristine NMCP, with only 6 mAh/g and 4 mAh/g. The redox reactions of pristine NMCP and as-synthesized NMCP/rGO composite are studied via cyclic voltammetry. The improved electronic conductivity and structure stability of bare NMCP is attributed to the contribution of the rGO coating.

Synthesis of Si/Fe2O3-Anchored rGO Frameworks as High-Performance Anodes for Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:By virtue of the high theoretical capacity of Si, Si-related materials have been developed as promising anode candidates for high-energy-density batteries. During repeated charge/discharge cycling, however, severe volumetric variation induces the pulverization and peeling of active components, causing rapid capacity decay and even development stagnation in high-capacity batteries. In this study, the Si/Fe2O3-anchored rGO framework was prepared by introducing ball milling into a melt spinning and dealloying process. As the Li-ion battery (LIB) anode, it presents a high reversible capacity of 1744.5 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1 after 200 cycles and 889.4 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 500 cycles. The outstanding electrochemical performance is due to the three-dimensional cross-linked porous framework with a high specific surface area, which is helpful to the transmission of ions and electrons. Moreover, with the cooperation of rGO, the volume expansion of Si is effectively alleviated, thus improving cycling stability. The work provides insights for the design and preparation of Si-based materials for high-performance LIB applications.

Retention Improvement of HZO-Based Ferroelectric Capacitors with TiO2 Insets.

Project description:The influence of the bottom TiO2 interfacial layer grown by atomic layer deposition on the ferroelectric properties of the TiN/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2/TiN capacitors is systematically investigated. We show that the integration of the TiO2 layer leads to an increase in the polar orthorhombic phase content in the Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 film. In addition, the crystalline structure of the Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 film is highly dependent on the thickness of the TiO2 inset, with monoclinic phase stabilization after the increase of TiO2 thickness. Special attention in this work is given to the key reliability parameters-retention and endurance. We demonstrate that the integration of the TiO2 inset induces valuable retention improvement. Using a novel approach to the depolarization measurements, we show that the depolarization contribution to the retention loss is insignificant, which leaves the imprint effect as the root of the retention loss in TiN/TiO2/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2/TiN devices. We believe that the integration of the insulator interfacial layer suppresses the scavenging effect from the bottom TiN electrode, leading to a decrease in the oxygen vacancy content in the Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 film, which is the main reason for imprint mitigation. At the same time, although the observed retention improvement is very promising for the upcoming technological integration, the field cycling testing revealed the endurance limitations linked to the phase transitions in the TiO2 layer and the rise of the effective electric field applied to the Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 film.
