Free-Standing N-Doped Porous Carbon Fiber Membrane Derived From Zn-MOF-74: Synthesis and Application as Anode for Sodium-Ion Battery With an Excellent Performance.

ABSTRACT: It is important to develop new energy storage and conversion technology to mitigate the energy crisis for the sustainable development of human society. In this study, free-standing porous nitrogen-doped carbon fiber (PN-CF) membranes were obtained from the pyrolysis of Zn-MOF-74/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) composite fibers, which were fabricated in situ by an electrospinning technology. The resulting free-standing fibers can be cut into membrane disks and directly used as an anode electrode without the addition of any binder or additive. The PN-CFs showed great reversible capacities of 210 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 0.05 A g^-1 and excellent cyclic stability of 170.5 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 0.2 A g^-1 after 600 cycles in sodium ion batteries (SIBs). The improved electrochemical performance of PN-CFs can be attributed to the rich porous structure derived by the incorporation of Zn-MOF-74 and nitrogen doping to promote sodium ion transportation.

Carbonization and Preparation of Nitrogen-Doped Porous Carbon Materials from Zn-MOF and Its Applications.

Project description:Nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC) materials were successfully synthesized via a Zn-containing metal-organic framework (Zn-MOF). The resulting NPC materials are characterized using various physicochemical techniques which indicated that the NPC materials obtained at different carbonization temperatures exhibited different properties. Pristine MOF morphology and pore size are retained after carbonization at particular temperatures (600 °C-NPC600 and 800 °C-NPC800). NPC800 material shows an excellent surface area 1192 m2/g, total pore volume 0.92 cm3/g and displays a higher CO2 uptake 4.71 mmol/g at 273 k and 1 bar. Furthermore, NPC600 material displays good electrochemical sensing towards H2O2. Under optimized conditions, our sensor exhibited a wide linearity range between 100 µM and 10 mM with a detection limit of 27.5 µM.

Bi Nanoparticles Anchored in N-Doped Porous Carbon as Anode of High Energy Density Lithium Ion Battery.

Project description:A novel bismuth-carbon composite, in which bismuth nanoparticles were anchored in a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (Bi@NC), is proposed as anode for high volumetric energy density lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Bi@NC composite was synthesized via carbonization of Zn-containing zeolitic imidazolate (ZIF-8) and replacement of Zn with Bi, resulting in the N-doped carbon that was hierarchically porous and anchored with Bi nanoparticles. The matrix provides a highly electronic conductive network that facilitates the lithiation/delithiation of Bi. Additionally, it restrains aggregation of Bi nanoparticles and serves as a buffer layer to alleviate the mechanical strain of Bi nanoparticles upon Li insertion/extraction. With these contributions, Bi@NC exhibits excellent cycling stability and rate capacity compared to bare Bi nanoparticles or their simple composites with carbon. This study provides a new approach for fabricating high volumetric energy density LIBs.

Flexible, Porous, and Metal-Heteroatom-Doped Carbon Nanofibers as Efficient ORR Electrocatalysts for Zn-Air Battery.

Project description:Developing an efficient and durable oxygen reduction electrocatalyst is critical for clean-energy technology, such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries. In this study, we developed a facile strategy for the preparation of flexible, porous, and well-dispersed metal-heteroatom-doped carbon nanofibers by direct carbonization of electrospun Zn/Co-ZIFs/PAN nanofibers (Zn/Co-ZIFs/PAN). The obtained Zn/Co and N co-doped porous carbon nanofibers carbonized at 800 °C (Zn/Co-N@PCNFs-800) presented a good flexibility, a continuous porous structure, and a superior oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic activity to that of commercial 20 wt% Pt/C, in terms of its onset potential (0.98 V vs. RHE), half-wave potential (0.89 V vs. RHE), and limiting current density (- 5.26 mA cm-2). In addition, we tested the suitability and durability of Zn/Co-N@PCNFs-800 as the oxygen cathode for a rechargeable Zn-air battery. The prepared Zn-air batteries exhibited a higher power density (83.5 mW cm-2), a higher specific capacity (640.3 mAh g-1), an excellent reversibility, and a better cycling life than the commercial 20 wt% Pt/C + RuO2 catalysts. This design strategy of flexible porous non-precious metal-doped ORR electrocatalysts obtained from electrospun ZIFs/polymer nanofibers could be extended to fabricate other novel, stable, and easy-to-use multi-functional electrocatalysts for clean-energy technology.

Co/N-Doped hierarchical porous carbon as an efficient oxygen electrocatalyst for rechargeable Zn-air battery.

Project description:Developing efficient electrocatalysts for ORR/OER is the key issue for the large-scale application of rechargeable Zn-air batteries. The design of Co and N co-doped carbon matrices has become a promising strategy for the fabrication of bi-functional electrocatalysts. Herein, the surface-oxidized Co nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated into N-doped hierarchically porous carbon materials (Co/NHPC) are designed as ORR/OER catalysts for rechargeable Zn-air batteries via dual-templating strategy and pyrolysis process containing Co2+. The fabricated electrocatalyst displays a core-shell structure with the surface-oxidized Co nanoparticles anchored on hierarchically porous carbon sheets. The carbon shells prevent Co NP cores from aggregating, ensuring excellent electrocatalytic properties for ORR with a half-wave potential of 0.82 V and a moderate OER performance. Notably, the obtained Co/NHPC as a cathode was further assembled in a zinc-air battery that delivered an open-circuit potential of 1.50 V, even superior to that of Pt/C (1.46 V vs. RHE), a low charge-discharge voltage gap, and long cycle life. All these results demonstrate that this study provides a simple, scalable, and efficient approach to fabricate cost-effective high-performance ORR/OER catalysts for rechargeable Zn-air batteries.

Nitrogen-doped carbon paper with 3D porous structure as a flexible free-standing anode for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:In this paper, a novel nitrogen-doped carbon paper (NCP) with both highly dense three-dimensional cellular structure and excellent bending flexibility is fabricated by pyrolyzing a melamine foam under compression. When serving as a free-standing anode for lithium-ion batteries, the NCP electrode delivers a reversible capacity up to 329.8?mA?h g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.5?A?g-1 (1.34?C) and 126.5?mA?h g-1 after 500 cycles at 8.0?A?g-1 (21.5?C). Such electrochemical performance is much higher than those of the counterparts prepared by pyrolysis without compression and can be mainly attributed to (a) the 3D highly dense interconnected carbon network with numerous junctions which can facilitate the efficient electron transfer and provide short transportation paths for lithium ions; and (b) the excellent mechanical flexibility and self-standing capability which exempt the use of binder, conductive additive and current collector. The NCP electrode implies a great promise of application in the high-performance Li-ion batteries for the flexible and wearable electronics.

Porous Zinc Anode Design for Zn-air Chemistry.

Project description:Zinc-air battery has drawn increasing attention from the whole world owing to its large energy capacity, stable working voltage, environmentally friendship, and low price. A special porous Zn with three-dimensional (3D) network frame structure, whose multistage average pore sizes can be tuned from 300 to 8 um, is synthesized in this work. It is found that there is a competition between Zn2+ and NH4+ for their reduction on the supports. And the decrease of Zn2+ concentration and increase of NH4+ concentration can facilitate the decrease of pore size. Potential-dynamic polarization was tested with 3-electrodes cell, aiming to characterize the electrochemical activity and corrosion properties of porous Zn and commercial Zn foil electrodes. After optimization, the porous Zn prepared with the parameters of 3 M NaBr, 1 M C2H3O2NH4, and 0.01 M C4H6O4Zn shows the most negative corrosion potential of -1.45 V among all the samples, indicating the remarkable anti-corrosion property. Its discharge specific capacity is up to 812 mAh g-1. And discharge-charge test of the porous Zn shows an initial discharge platform of 1.33 V and an initial charge platform of 1.96 V, performing a small overpotential. What's more, the porous Zn exhibits a much longer cycle life than commercial Zn foil. Our work will not only shed light on the design and synthesis of other porous metal materials, but also further promote the development of Zn-based battery electrochemistry.

Few-Atomic-Layered Co-Doped BiOBr Nanosheet: Free-Standing Anode with Ultrahigh Mass Loading for "Rocking Chair" Zinc-Ion Battery.

Project description:Insertion host materials are considered as a candidate to replace metallic Zn anode. However, the high mass loading anode with good electrochemical performances is reported rarely. Herein, a few-atomic-layered Co-doped BiOBr nanosheet (Co-UTBiOBr) is prepared via one-step hydrothermal method and a free-standing flexible electrode consisting of Co-UTBiOBr and CNTs is designed. Ultrathin nanosheet (3 atomic layers) and CNTs accelerate Zn2+ and electron transfer respectively. The Co-doping is conducive to the reduced Zn2+ diffusion barrier, the improved volume expansion after Zn2+ intercalation, and the enhanced electronic conductivity of BiOBr, verified by experimental and theoretical studies. An insertion-conversion mechanism is proposed according to ex situ characterizations. Benefiting from many advantages, Co-UTBiOBr displays a high capacity of 150 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and a long-term cyclic life with ≈100% capacity attention over 3000 cycles at 1 A g-1 . Remarkably, excellent electrochemical performances are maintained even at an ultrahigh mass loading of 15 mg cm-2 . Co-UTBiOBr//MnO2 "rocking chair" zinc-ion battery exhibits a stable capacity of ≈130 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 during cyclic test and its flexible quasi-solid-state battery shows outstanding stability under various bending states. This work provides a new idea for designing high mass loading anode.

Evaluation of the catalytic activity of Zn-MOF-74 for the alcoholysis of cyclohexene oxide.

Project description:In the present work, nanocrystalline Zn-MOF-74 is shown to be a heterogeneous catalyst for the acid-catalyzed ring-opening alcoholysis of cyclohexene oxide. The results corroborated that accessible open metal sites within the material are critical conditions (Zn(ii) Lewis acid sites) for this reaction. Zn-MOF-74 was tested at three different temperatures (30, 40, and 50 °C) for the alcoholysis reaction. Furthermore, the cyclohexene oxide conversion was 94% in less than two days. A comparison of the catalytic activity with different crystal sizes of Zn-MOF-74 and the homogenous phase, zinc acetate, was conducted. Zn-MOF-74 exhibited excellent catalytic cyclability for three cycles without losing its activity. The material showed chemical stability by retaining its crystalline structure after the reaction and cyclability process.

MOF-derived nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanofibers with interconnected channels for high-stability Li<sup>+</sup>/Na<sup>+</sup> battery anodes.

Project description:Heteroatom-doped porous carbon materials have been widely used as anode materials for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries, however, improving the specific capacity and long-term cycling stability of ion batteries remains a major challenge. Here, we report a facile based metal-organic framework (MOFs) strategy to synthesize nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanofibers (NCNFs) with a large number of interconnected channels that can increase the contact area between the material and the electrolyte, shorten the diffusion distance between Li+/Na+ and the electrolyte, and relieve the volume expansion of the electrode material during cycling; the doping of nitrogen atoms can improve the conductivity and increase the active sites of the carbon material, can also affect the microstructure and electron distribution of the electrode material, thereby improving the electrochemical performance of the material. As expected, the obtained NCNFs-800 exhibited excellent electrochemical performance with high reversible capacity (for Li+ battery anodes: 1237 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 200 cycles, for Na+ battery anodes: 323 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 150 cycles) and long-term cycling stability (for Li+ battery anodes: 635 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 5000 cycles, for Na+ battery anodes: 194 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 5000 cycles).

A biocompatible electrolyte enables highly reversible Zn anode for zinc ion battery.

Project description:Progress towards the integration of technology into living organisms requires power devices that are biocompatible and mechanically flexible. Aqueous zinc ion batteries that use hydrogel biomaterials as electrolytes have emerged as a potential solution that operates within biological constraints; however, most of these batteries feature inferior electrochemical properties. Here, we propose a biocompatible hydrogel electrolyte by utilising hyaluronic acid, which contains ample hydrophilic functional groups. The gel-based electrolyte offers excellent anti-corrosion ability for zinc anodes and regulates zinc nucleation/growth. Also, the gel electrolyte provides high battery performance, including a 99.71% Coulombic efficiency, over 5500 hours of long-term stability, improved cycle life of 250 hours under a high zinc utilization rate of 80%, and high biocompatibility. Importantly, the Zn//LiMn2O4 pouch cell exhibits 82% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 3 C. This work presents a promising gel chemistry that controls zinc behaviour, offering great potential in biocompatible energy-related applications and beyond.
