Nitrogen-Doped Carbon-Encased Bimetallic Selenide for High-Performance Water Electrolysis.

ABSTRACT: Demand of highly efficient earth-abundant transition metal-based electrocatalysts to replace noble metal materials for boosting oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is rapidly growing. Herein, an electrochemically exfoliated graphite (EG) foil supported bimetallic selenide encased in N-doped carbon (EG/(Co, Ni)Se₂-NC) hybrid is developed and synthesized by a vapor-phase hydrothermal strategy and subsequent selenization process. The as-prepared EG/(Co, Ni)Se₂-NC hybrid exhibits a core-shell structure where the particle diameter of (Co, Ni)Se₂ core is about 70 nm and the thickness of N-doped carbon shell is approximately 5 nm. Benefitting from the synergistic effects between the combination of highly active Co species and improved electron transfer from Ni species, and N-doped carbon, the EG/(Co, Ni)Se₂-NC hybrid shows remarkable electrocatalytic activity toward OER with a comparatively low overpotential of 258 mV at an current density of 10 mA cm^-2 and a small Tafel slope of 73.3 mV dec^-1. The excellent OER catalysis performance of EG/(Co, Ni)Se₂-NC hybrid is much better than that of commercial Ir/C (343 mV at 10 mA cm^-2 and 98.1 mV dec^-1), and even almost the best among all previously reported binary CoNi selenide-based OER electrocatalysts. Furthermore, in situ electrochemical Raman spectroscopy combined with ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicates that the superb OER catalysis activity can be attributed to the highly active Co-OOH species and modified electron transfer process from Ni element.

Carbon-Encased Mixed-Metal Selenide Rooted with Carbon Nanotubes for High-Performance Hybrid Supercapacitors.

Project description:Transition metal-based compounds with high theoretical capacitance and low cost represent one class of promising electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors. However, their low intrinsic electrical conductivity impedes their capacitive effect and further limits their practical application. Rational regulation of their composition and structure is, therefore, necessary to achieve a high electrode performance. Herein, a well-designed carbon-encased mixed-metal selenide rooted with carbon nanotubes (Ni-Co-Se@C-CNT) was derived from nickel-cobalt bimetallic organic frameworks. Due to the unique porous structure, the synergistic effect of bimetal selenides and the in situ growth of carbon nanotubes, the composite exhibits good electrical conductivity, high structural stability and abundant redox active sites. Benefitting from these merits, the Ni-Co-Se@C-CNT exhibited a high specific capacity of 554.1 C g-1 (1108.2 F g-1) at 1 A g-1 and a superior cycling performance, i.e., 96.4% of the initial capacity was retained after 5000 cycles at 10 A g-1. Furthermore, a hybrid supercapacitor assembled with Ni-Co-Se@C-CNT cathode and activated carbon (AC) anode shows a superior energy density of 38.2 Wh kg-1 at 1602.1 W kg-1.

Nitrogen-doped Carbon Microfiber with Wrinkled Surface for High Performance Supercapacitors.

Project description:In this work, nitrogen-doped carbon microfiber (NCMF) is fabricated via a facile co-assembly of natural silk and graphene oxide (GO) and the following thermal treatment. The amphiphilic nature of GO endows NCMF a crumpled surface with a high surface area of 115 m(2) g(-1). As the binder-free electrode in electrical double-layer capacitors, NCMF shows an excellent capacitance of 196 F g(-1) at scan rate of 5 mV s(-1), which is almost four times higher than that of the pristine CMF from silk (55 F g(-1)). Additionally, the capacitance of NCMF can be kept around 92 F g(-1) at a high scan rate of 300 mV s(-1) even after 10000 cycles. More importantly, a high energy density (≈ 22.7 μW h cm(-2)) and power density (≈ 10.26 mW cm(-2)) are achieved by the all-solid-state supercapacitor based on NCMF.

Nitrogen-Doped Porous Carbon Derived from Coal for High-Performance Dual-Carbon Lithium-Ion Capacitors.

Project description:Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) are emerging as one of the most advanced hybrid energy storage devices, however, their development is limited by the imbalance of the dynamics and capacity between the anode and cathode electrodes. Herein, anthracite was proposed as the raw material to prepare coal-based, nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials (CNPCs), together with being employed as a cathode and anode used for dual-carbon lithium-ion capacitors (DC-LICs). The prepared CNPCs exhibited a folded carbon nanosheet structure and the pores could be well regulated by changing the additional amount of g-C3N4, showing a high conductivity, abundant heteroatoms, and a large specific surface area. As expected, the optimized CNPCs (CTK-1.0) delivered a superior lithium storage capacity, which exhibited a high specific capacity of 750 mAh g-1 and maintained an excellent capacity retention rate of 97% after 800 cycles. Furthermore, DC-LICs (CTK-1.0//CTK-1.0) were assembled using the CTK-1.0 as both cathode and anode electrodes to match well in terms of internal kinetics and capacity simultaneously, which displayed a maximum energy density of 137.6 Wh kg-1 and a protracted lifetime of 3000 cycles. This work demonstrates the great potential of coal-based carbon materials for electrochemical energy storage devices and also provides a new way for the high value-added utilization of coal materials.

A Unique 3D Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Composite as High-Performance Oxygen Reduction Catalyst.

Project description:The synthesis and properties of an oxygen reduction catalyst based on a unique 3-dimensional (3D) nitrogen doped (N-doped) carbon composite are described. The composite material is synthesised via a two-step hydrothermal and pyrolysis method using bio-source low-cost materials of galactose and melamine. Firstly, the use of iron salts and galactose to hydrothermally produceiron oxide (Fe?O?) magnetic nanoparticle clusters embedded carbon spheres. Secondly, magnetic nanoparticles diffused out of the carbon sphere when pyrolysed in the presence of melamine as nitrogen precursor. Interestingly, many of these nanoparticles, as catalyst-grown carbon nanotubes (CNTs), resulted in the formation of N-doped CNTs and N-doped carbon spheres under the decomposition of carbon and a nitrogen environment. The composite material consists of integrated N-doped carbon microspheres and CNTs show high ORR activity through a predominantly four-electron pathway.

Nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres with tunable shell thickness for high-performance supercapacitors.

Project description:Nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres (NHCSs) are well prepared by using Cu2O microspheres as a hard template and 3-aminophenol formaldehyde resin polymer as carbon and nitrogen precursors. The thickness of the carbon shell can be easily controlled in the range of 15-84 nm by simply adjusting the weight ratios of the precursors to Cu2O microspheres, and the Cu2O templates can also be further reused. Physicochemical characterization demonstrates that the obtained NHCSs possess a well-developed hollow spherical structure, thin carbon shell and high nitrogen doping content. Due to these characteristics, when further utilized as electrodes for supercapacitors, the NHCSs with the carbon shell thickness of 15 nm show a high capacitance of 263.6 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, an outstanding rate performance of 122 F g-1 at 20 A g-1 and an excellent long-term cycling stability with only 9.8% loss after 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1 in 6 M KOH aqueous electrolyte. This finding may push forward the development of carbon materials, exhibiting huge potential for electrochemical energy storage applications.

The optimal NMCSs have a large specific surface area of 1517 m2 g- 1 with a pore volume of 0.8 cm3 g- 1. The X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy analysis reveals a suitable nitrogen-doped content of 2.6 at.%. The as-prepared NMCSs used as supercapacitor electrode materials exhibit an outstanding specific capacitance of 416 F g- 1 at a current density of 0.2 A g- 1, also it shows an excellent charge/discharge cycling stability with 96.9% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles. The constructed symmetric supercapacitors using PVA/KOH as the gel electrolyte can deliver a specific capacitance of 60.6 F g- 1 at current density of 1 A g- 1. A maximum energy density of 21.5 Wh kg- 1 can be achieved at a power density of 800 W kg- 1, and the energy density still maintains 13.3 Wh kg- 1 even at a high power density of 16 kW kg- 1. The results suggest that this work can open up a facile and effective way to synthesize the NMCSs for electrode materials of high performance energy storage devices.

Hierarchical Nitrogen-Doped Porous Carbon Microspheres as Anode for High Performance Sodium Ion Batteries.

Project description:Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have been considered as a promising alternative to lithium ion batteries (LIBs) for large scale energy storage in the future. However, the commercial graphite anode is not suitable for SIBs because of its low Na+ ions storage capability and poor cycling stability. Recently, another alternative as anode for SIBs, amorphous carbon materials, have attracted tremendous attention because of their abundant resource, nontoxicity, and most importantly, stability. Here, N-doped hierarchical porous carbon microspheres (NHPCS) derived from Ni-MOF have been prepared and used as anode for SIBs. Benefiting from the open porous structure and expanded interlayer distance, the diffusion of Na+ is greatly facilitated and the Na+ storage capacity is significantly enhanced concurrently. The NHPCS exhibit high reversible capacity (291 mA h g-1 at current of 200 mA g-1), excellent rate performance (256 mA h g-1 at high current of 1,000 mA g-1), and outstanding cycling stability (204 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles).
