Boosting Sodium Storage of Fe_1-xS/MoS₂ Composite via Heterointerface Engineering.

ABSTRACT: Improving the cycling stability of metal sulfide-based anode materials at high rate is of great significance for advanced sodium ion batteries. However, the sluggish reaction kinetics is a big obstacle for the development of high-performance sodium storage electrodes. Herein, we have rationally engineered the heterointerface by designing the Fe_1-xS/MoS₂ heterostructure with abundant "ion reservoir" to endow the electrode with excellent cycling stability and rate capability, which is proved by a series of in and ex situ electrochemical investigations. Density functional theory calculations further reveal that the heterointerface greatly decreases sodium ion diffusion barrier and facilitates charge-transfer kinetics. Our present findings not only provide a deep analysis on the correlation between the structure and performance, but also draw inspiration for rational heterointerface engineering toward the next-generation high-performance energy storage devices.

High-mobility junction field-effect transistor via graphene/MoS2 heterointerface.

Project description:Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) possesses a desirable direct bandgap with moderate carrier mobility, whereas graphene (Gr) exhibits a zero bandgap and excellent carrier mobility. Numerous approaches have been suggested for concomitantly realizing high on/off current ratio and high carrier mobility in field-effect transistors, but little is known to date about the effect of two-dimensional layered materials. Herein, we propose a Gr/MoS2 heterojunction platform, i.e., junction field-effect transistor (JFET), that enhances the carrier mobility by a factor of ~ 10 (~ 100 cm2 V-1 s-1) compared to that of monolayer MoS2, while retaining a high on/off current ratio of ~ 108 at room temperature. The Fermi level of Gr can be tuned by the wide back-gate bias (VBG) to modulate the effective Schottky barrier height (SBH) at the Gr/MoS2 heterointerface from 528 meV (n-MoS2/p-Gr) to 116 meV (n-MoS2/n-Gr), consequently enhancing the carrier mobility. The double humps in the transconductance derivative profile clearly reveal the carrier transport mechanism of Gr/MoS2, where the barrier height is controlled by electrostatic doping.

Elucidating the Synergic Effect in Nanoscale MoS2 /TiO2 Heterointerface for Na-Ion Storage.

Project description:Interface engineering in electrode materials is an attractive strategy for enhancing charge storage, enabling fast kinetics, and improving cycling stability for energy storage systems. Nevertheless, the performance improvement is usually ambiguously ascribed to the "synergetic effect", the fundamental understanding toward the effect of the interface at molecular level in composite materials remains elusive. In this work, a well-defined nanoscale MoS2 /TiO2 interface is rationally designed by immobilizing TiO2 nanocrystals on MoS2 nanosheets. The role of heterostructure interface between TiO2 and MoS2 by operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction (sXRD), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, and density functional theory calculations is investigated. It is found that the existence of a hetero-interfacial electric field can promote charge transfer kinetics. Based on operando sXRD, it is revealed that the heterostructure follows a solid-solution reaction mechanism with small volume changes during cycling. As such, the electrode demonstrates ultrafast Na+ ions storage of 300 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 and excellent reversible capacity of 540 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 . This work provides significant insights into understanding of heterostructure interface at molecular level, which suggests new strategies for creating unconventional nanocomposite electrode materials for energy storage systems.

Heterointerface Engineered Core-Shell Fe2O3@TiO2 for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Storage.

Project description:The rational design of the heterogeneous interfaces enables precise adjustment of the electronic structure and optimization of the kinetics for electron/ion migration in energy storage materials. In this work, the built-in electric field is introduced to the iron-based anode material (Fe2O3@TiO2) through the well-designed heterostructure. This model serves as an ideal platform for comprehending the atomic-level optimization of electron transfer in advanced lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). As a result, the core-shell Fe2O3@TiO2 delivers a remarkable discharge capacity of 1342 mAh g-1 and an extraordinary capacity retention of 82.7% at 0.1 A g-1 after 300 cycles. Fe2O3@TiO2 shows an excellent rate performance from 0.1 A g-1 to 4.0 A g-1. Further, the discharge capacity of Fe2O3@TiO2 reached 736 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 2000 cycles, and the corresponding capacity retention is 83.62%. The heterostructure forms a conventional p-n junction, successfully constructing the built-in electric field and lithium-ion reservoir. The kinetic analysis demonstrates that Fe2O3@TiO2 displays high pseudocapacitance behavior (77.8%) and fast lithium-ion reaction kinetics. The capability of heterointerface engineering to optimize electrochemical reaction kinetics offers novel insights for constructing high-performance iron-based anodes for LIBs.

Flexible freestanding MoS2-based composite paper for energy conversion and storage.

Project description:The construction of flexible electrochemical devices for energy storage and generation is of utmost importance in modern society. In this article, we report on the synthesis of flexible MoS2-based composite paper by high-energy shear force milling and simple vacuum filtration. This composite material combines high flexibility, mechanical strength and good chemical stability. Chronopotentiometric charge-discharge measurements were used to determine the capacitance of our paper material. The highest capacitance achieved was 33 mF·cm-2 at a current density of 1 mA·cm-2, demonstrating potential application in supercapacitors. We further used the material as a cathode for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with an onset potential of approximately -0.2 V vs RHE. The onset potential was even lower (approximately -0.1 V vs RHE) after treatment with n-butyllithium, suggesting the introduction of new active sites. Finally, a potential use in lithium ion batteries (LIB) was examined. Our material can be used directly without any binder, additive carbon or copper current collector and delivers specific capacity of 740 mA·h·g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A·g-1. After 40 cycles at this current density the material still reached a capacity retention of 91%. Our findings show that this composite material could find application in electrochemical energy storage and generation devices where high flexibility and mechanical strength are desired.

MoS2/SnS/CoS Heterostructures on Graphene: Lattice-Confinement Synthesis and Boosted Sodium Storage.

Project description:The development of high-efficiency multi-component composite anode nanomaterials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is critical for advancing the further practical application. Numerous multi-component nanomaterials are constructed typically via confinement strategies of surface templating or three-dimensional encapsulation. Herein, a composite of heterostructural multiple sulfides (MoS2/SnS/CoS) well-dispersed on graphene is prepared as an anode nanomaterial for SIBs, via a distinctive lattice confinement effect of a ternary CoMoSn-layered double-hydroxide (CoMoSn-LDH) precursor. Electrochemical testing demonstrates that the composite delivers a high-reversible capacity (627.6 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1) and high rate capacity of 304.9 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles at 5.0 A g-1, outperforming those of the counterparts of single-, bi- and mixed sulfides. Furthermore, the enhancement is elucidated experimentally by the dominant capacitive contribution and low charge-transfer resistance. The precursor-based lattice confinement strategy could be effective for constructing uniform composites as anode nanomaterials for electrochemical energy storage.

Self-supporting network-structured MoS2/heteroatom-doped graphene as superior anode materials for sodium storage.

Project description:Layered graphene and molybdenum disulfide have outstanding sodium ion storage properties that make them suitable for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the easy and large-scale preparation of graphene and molybdenum disulfide composites with structural stability and excellent performance face enormous challenges. In this study, a self-supporting network-structured MoS2/heteroatom-doped graphene (MoS2/NSGs-G) composite is prepared by a simple and exercisable electrochemical exfoliation followed by a hydrothermal route. In the composite, layered MoS2 nanosheets and heteroatom-doped graphene nanosheets are intertwined with each other into self-supporting network architecture, which could hold back the aggregation of MoS2 and graphene effectively. Moreover, the composite possesses enlarged interlayer spacing of graphene and MoS2, which could contribute to an increase in the reaction sites and ion transport of the composite. Owing to these advantageous structural characteristics and the heteroatomic co-doping of nitrogen and sulfur, MoS2/NSGs-G demonstrates greatly reversible sodium storage capacity. The measurements revealed that the reversible cycle capacity was 443.9 mA h g-1 after 250 cycles at 0.5 A g-1, and the rate capacity was 491.5, 490.5, 453.9, 418.1, 383.8, 333.1, and 294.4 mA h g-1 at 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 and 10 A g-1, respectively. Furthermore, the MoS2/NSGs-G sample displayed lower resistance, dominant pseudocapacitive contribution, and faster sodium ion interface kinetics characteristic. Therefore, this study provides an operable strategy to obtain high-performance anode materials, and MoS2/NSGs-G with favorable structure and excellent cycle stability has great application potential for SIBs.

Ultrasmall Fe2O3 nanoparticles/MoS2 nanosheets composite as high-performance anode material for lithium ion batteries.

Project description:Coupling ultrasmall Fe2O3 particles (~4.0 nm) with the MoS2 nanosheets is achieved by a facile method for high-performance anode material for Li-ion battery. MoS2 nanosheets in the composite can serve as scaffolds, efficiently buffering the large volume change of Fe2O3 during charge/discharge process, whereas the ultrasmall Fe2O3 nanoparticles mainly provide the specific capacity. Due to bigger surface area and larger pore volume as well as strong coupling between Fe2O3 particles and MoS2 nanosheets, the composite exhibits superior electrochemical properties to MoS2, Fe2O3 and the physical mixture Fe2O3+MoS2. Typically, after 140 cycles the reversible capacity of the composite does not decay, but increases from 829 mA h g-1 to 864 mA h g-1 at a high current density of 2 A g-1. Thus, the present facile strategy could open a way for development of cost-efficient anode material with high-performance for large-scale energy conversion and storage systems.

Construction of flower-like MoS2/Fe3O4/rGO composite with enhanced photo-Fenton like catalyst performance.

Project description:High-performance and recyclable photocatalysts have attracted considerable amounts of attention for use in wastewater treatment. In this paper, a MoS2/Fe3O4/rGO (0.1 wt%) composite was synthesized by an environmentally-friendly and facile strategy, and showed high potential for recyclability. The nanocomposite exhibited high photocatalytic activity in the presence of H2O2 and rGO (reduced graphene oxide) under visible-light irradiation. Notably, when 3 mg of MoS2/Fe3O4/rGO (0.1 wt%) was added to rhodamine B (RhB, 30 mg L-1) solution, the degradation rate was almost 100% within 40 min at neutral pH under visible-light irradiation. This rate was four times more rapid than that of MoS2 and double that of MoS2/Fe3O4. The results indicate that rGO plays an important role in photocatalysis by suppressing the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and enhancing the absorption capability of visible-light and organic dyes. Finally, the photocatalytic and stability mechanisms of MoS2/Fe3O4/rGO (0.1 wt%) are proposed. This work further helps our understanding of the photo-Fenton mechanism. Furthermore, the synthesis of this composite has potential for application in energy storage devices.

Boosting Interfacial Polarization Through Heterointerface Engineering in MXene/Graphene Intercalated-Based Microspheres for Electromagnetic Wave Absorption.

Project description:Multi-layer 2D material assemblies provide a great number of interfaces beneficial for electromagnetic wave absorption. However, avoiding agglomeration and achieving layer-by-layer ordered intercalation remain challenging. Here, 3D reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/MXene/TiO2/Fe2C lightweight porous microspheres with periodical intercalated structures and pronounced interfacial effects were constructed by spray-freeze-drying and microwave irradiation based on the Maxwell-Wagner effect. Such approach reinforced interfacial effects via defects introduction, porous skeleton, multi-layer assembly and multi-component system, leading to synergistic loss mechanisms. The abundant 2D/2D/0D/0D intercalated heterojunctions in the microspheres provide a high density of polarization charges while generating abundant polarization sites, resulting in boosted interfacial polarization, which is verified by CST Microwave Studio simulations. By precisely tuning the 2D nanosheets intercalation in the heterostructures, both the polarization loss and impedance matching improve significantly. At a low filler loading of 5 wt%, the polarization loss rate exceeds 70%, and a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -67.4 dB can be achieved. Moreover, radar cross-section simulations further confirm the attenuation ability of the optimized porous microspheres. These results not only provide novel insights into understanding and enhancing interfacial effects, but also constitute an attractive platform for implementing heterointerface engineering based on customized 2D hierarchical architectures.

Boosting Lithium-Ion Storage Capability in CuO Nanosheets via Synergistic Engineering of Defects and Pores.

Project description:CuO is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity, low cost, and non-toxicity. However, its practical application has been plagued by low conductivity and poor cyclability. Herein, we report the facile synthesis of porous defective CuO nanosheets by a simple wet-chemical route paired with controlled annealing. The sample obtained after mild heat treatment (300°C) exhibits an improved crystallinity with low dislocation density and preserved porous structure, manifesting superior Li-ion storage capability with high capacity (~500 mAh/g at 0.2 C), excellent rate (175 mAh/g at 2 C), and cyclability (258 mAh/g after 500 cycles at 0.5 C). The enhanced electrochemical performance can be ascribed to the synergy of porous nanosheet morphology and improved crystallinity: (1) porous morphology endows the material a large contact interface for electrolyte impregnation, enriched active sites for Li-ion uptake/release, more room for accommodation of repeated volume variation during lithiation/de-lithiation. (2) the improved crystallinity with reduced edge dislocations can boost the electrical conduction, reducing polarization during charge/discharge. The proposed strategy based on synergic pore and defect engineering can pave the way for development of advanced metal oxides-based electrodes for (beyond) Li-ion batteries.
