Rapid mechanochemical synthesis of polyanionic cathode with improved electrochemical performance for Na-ion batteries.

ABSTRACT: Na-ion batteries have been considered promising candidates for stationary energy storage. However, their wide application is hindered by issues such as high cost and insufficient electrochemical performance, particularly for cathode materials. Here, we report a solvent-free mechanochemical protocol for the in-situ fabrication of sodium vanadium fluorophosphates. Benefiting from the nano-crystallization features and extra Na-storage sites achieved in the synthesis process, the as-prepared carbon-coated Na₃(VOPO₄)₂F nanocomposite exhibits capacity of 142 mAh g^-1 at 0.1C, higher than its theoretical capacity (130 mAh g^-1). Moreover, a scaled synthesis with 2 kg of product was conducted and 26650-prototype cells were demonstrated to proof the electrochemical performance. We expect our findings to mark an important step in the industrial application of sodium vanadium fluorophosphates for Na-ion batteries.

An oxalate cathode for lithium ion batteries with combined cationic and polyanionic redox.

Project description:The growing demand for advanced lithium-ion batteries calls for the continued development of high-performance positive electrode materials. Polyoxyanion compounds are receiving considerable interest as alternative cathodes to conventional oxides due to their advantages in cost, safety and environmental friendliness. However, polyanionic cathodes reported so far rely heavily upon transition-metal redox reactions for lithium transfer. Here we show a polyanionic insertion material, Li2Fe(C2O4)2, in which in addition to iron redox activity, the oxalate group itself also shows redox behavior enabling reversible charge/discharge and high capacity without gas evolution. The current study gives oxalate a role as a family of cathode materials and suggests a direction for the identification and design of electrode materials with polyanionic frameworks.

Engineering Na-Mo-O/Graphene Oxide Composites with Enhanced Electrochemical Performance for Lithium Ion Batteries.

Project description:Sodium molybdate (Na-Mo-O) wrapped by graphene oxide (GO) composites have been prepared via a simple in-situ precipitation method at room temperature. The composites are mainly constructed with one dimension (1D) ultra-long sodium molybdate nanorods, which are wrapped by the flexible GO. The introduction of GO is expected to not merely provide more active sites for lithium-ions storage, but also improve the charge transfer rate of the electrode. The testing electrochemical performances corroborated the standpoint: The Na-Mo-O/GO composites delivers specific capacities of 718 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1, and 570 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at a high rate of 500 mA g-1; for comparison, the bare Na-Mo-O nanorod shows a severe capacity decay, which deliver only 332 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1. In view of the cost-efficient and less time-consuming in synthesis, and one-step preparation without further treatment, these Na-Mo-O nanorods/GO composites present potential and prospective anodes for LIBs.

Detailed investigation of Na2.24FePO4CO3 as a cathode material for Na-ion batteries.

Project description:Na-ion batteries are gaining an increased recognition as the next generation low cost energy storage devices. Here, we present a characterization of Na3FePO4CO3 nanoplates as a novel cathode material for sodium ion batteries. First-principles calculations reveal that there are two paths for Na ion migration along b and c axis. In-situ and ex-situ Fe K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) point out that in Na3FePO4CO3 both Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) and Fe(3+)/Fe(4+) redox couples are electrochemically active, suggesting also the existence of a two-electron intercalation reaction. Ex-situ X-ray powder diffraction data demonstrates that the crystalline structure of Na3FePO4CO3 remains stable during the charging/discharging process within the range 2.0-4.55?V.

Self-Recovery Chemistry and Cobalt-Catalyzed Electrochemical Deposition of Cathode for Boosting Performance of Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Rechargeable Zn-ion batteries working with manganese oxide cathodes and mild aqueous electrolytes suffer from notorious cathode dissolution during galvanostatic cycling. Herein, for the first time we demonstrate the dynamic self-recovery chemistry of manganese compound during charge/discharge processes, which strongly determines the battery performance. A cobalt-modified δ-MnO2 with a redox-active surface shows superior self-recovery capability as a cathode. The cobalt-containing species in the cathode enable efficient self-recovery by continuously catalyzing the electrochemical deposition of active Mn compound, which is confirmed by characterizations of both practical coin-type batteries and a new-design electrolyzer system. Under optimized condition, a high specific capacity over 500 mAh g-1 is achieved, together with a decent cycling performance with a retention rate of 63% over 5,000 cycles. With this cobalt-facilitated deposition effect, the battery with low concentration (0.02 M) of additive Mn2+ in the electrolyte (only 12 atom % to the overall Mn) maintains decent capacity retention.

Influence of Mo addition on the structural and electrochemical performance of Ni-rich cathode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Molybdenum modified LiNi0.84Co0.11Mn0.05O2 cathode with different doping concentrations (0-5 wt.%) is successfully prepared and its electrochemical performances are investigated. It is demonstrated that molybdenum in LiNi0.84Co0.11Mn0.05O2 has a positive effect on structural stability and extraordinary electrochemical performances, including improved long-term cycling and high-rate capability. Among all samples, the 1 wt. % molybdenum LiNi0.84Co0.11Mn0.05O2 delivers superior initial discharge capacity of 205 mAh g-1 (0.1 C), cycling stability of 89.5% (0.5 C) and rate capability of 165 mAh g-1 (2 C) compared to those of others. Therefore, we can conclude that the 1 wt. % molybdenum is an effective strategy for Ni-rich LiNi0.84Co0.11Mn0.05O2 cathode used in lithium ion batteries.

Heterogeneous synthesis and electrochemical performance of LiMnPO<sub>4</sub>/C composites as cathode materials of lithium ion batteries.

Project description:In this study, a facile yet efficient interfacial hydrothermal process was successfully developed to fabricate LiMnPO4/C composites. In this strategy, the walls of carbon nanotubes were employed as heterogeneous nucleation interfaces and biomass of phytic acid (PA) as an eco-friendly phosphorus source. By comparing the experimental results, a reasonable nucleation-growth mechanism was proposed, suggesting the advantages of interfacial effects. Meanwhile, the as-synthesized LiMnPO4/C samples exhibited superior rate performances with discharge capacities reaching 161 mA h g-1 at C/20, 134 mA h g-1 at 1C, and 100 mA h g-1 at 5C. The composites also displayed excellent cycling stabilities by maintaining 95% of the initial capacity over 100 continuous cycles at 1C. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that the superior electrochemical performances were attributed to the low charge-transfer resistance and elevated diffusion coefficient of lithium ions. In sum, the proposed approach for the preparation of LiMnPO4/C composites looks promising for future production of composite electrode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Electrochemical Performance of Graphitic Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes with Different Aspect Ratios as Cathode Materials for Aluminum-ion Batteries.

Project description:Graphitic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) can function as high-performance cathode materials for rechargeable Al-ion batteries with well-defined discharging plateaus and reasonable charge/discharge C-rates. However, the main intercalation/deintercalation or adsorption/desorption path of AlCl4 - anions into or onto G-MWCNTs has not been elucidated. Herein, we used battery cells comprised of G-MWCNTs with different aspect ratios, Al metal, and AlCl3/1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid as the cathode, anode, and electrolyte, respectively. The electrochemical performance of the Al||G-MWCNT cell increased as the aspect ratio of the G-MWCNT cathode increased (i. e., longer and thinner). The degree of defects of the G-MWCNTs was similar (0.15-0.22); hence, the results confirm that the main and alternate paths for the AlCl4 - intercalation/de-intercalation or adsorption/desorption into/from or onto/from the G-MWCNT are the basal and edge planes, respectively. The step-like structures of defects on the basal plane provide the main reaction site for AlCl4 - anions.

Vanadium Oxide-Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) Nanocomposite as High-Performance Cathode for Aqueous Zn-Ion Batteries: The Structural and Electrochemical Characterization.

Project description:In this work the nanocomposite of vanadium oxide with conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (VO@PEDOT) was obtained by microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis. The detailed study of its structural and electrochemical properties as cathode of aqueous zinc-ion battery was performed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The initial VO@PEDOT composite has layered nanosheets structure with thickness of about 30-80 nm, which are assembled into wavy agglomerated thicker layers of up to 0.3-0.6 μm. The phase composition of the samples was determined by XRD analysis which confirmed lamellar structure of vanadium oxide V10O24∙12H2O with interlayer distance of about 13.6 Å. The VO@PEDOT composite demonstrates excellent electrochemical performance, reaching specific capacities of up to 390 mA∙h∙g-1 at 0.3 A∙g-1. Moreover, the electrodes retain specific capacity of 100 mA∙h∙g-1 at a high current density of 20 A∙g-1. The phase transformations of VO@PEDOT electrodes during the cycling were studied at different degrees of charge/discharge by using ex situ XRD measurements. The results of ex situ XRD allow us to conclude that the reversible zinc ion intercalation occurs in stable zinc pyrovanadate structures formed during discharge.

Developing an abnormal high-Na-content P2-type layered oxide cathode with near-zero-strain for high-performance sodium-ion batteries.

Project description:Layered transition metal oxides (NaxTMO2) possess attractive features such as large specific capacity, high ionic conductivity, and a scalable synthesis process, making them a promising cathode candidate for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, NaxTMO2 suffer from multiple phase transitions and Na+/vacancy ordering upon Na+ insertion/extraction, which is detrimental to their electrochemical performance. Herein, we developed a novel cathode material that exhibits an abnormal P2-type structure at a stoichiometric content of Na up to 1. The cathode material delivers a reversible capacity of 108 mA h g-1 at 0.2C and 97 mA h g-1 at 2C, retaining a capacity retention of 76.15% after 200 cycles within 2.0-4.3 V. In situ diffraction studies demonstrated that this material exhibits an absolute solid-solution reaction with a low volume change of 0.8% during cycling. This near-zero-strain characteristic enables a highly stabilized crystal structure for Na+ storage, contributing to a significant improvement in battery performance. Overall, this work presents a simple yet effective approach to realizing high Na content in P2-type layered oxides, offering new opportunities for high-performance SIB cathode materials.

Copper sulfide nanoparticles as high-performance cathode materials for Mg-ion batteries.

Project description:Rechargeable magnesium batteries are appealing as safe, low-cost systems with high-energy-density storage that employ predominantly dendrite-free magnesium metal as the anode. While significant progress has been achieved with magnesium electrolytes in recent years, the further development of Mg-ion batteries, however, is inherently limited by the lack of suitable cathode materials, mainly due to the slow diffusion of high-charge-density Mg-ions in the intercalation-type host structures and kinetic limitations of conversion-type cathodes that often causes poor cyclic stability. Nanostructuring the cathode materials offers an effective means of mitigating these challenges, due to the reduced diffusion length and higher surface areas. In this context, we present the highly reversible insertion of Mg-ions into nanostructured conversion-type CuS cathode, delivering high capacities of 300 mAh g-1 at room temperature and high cyclic stability over 200 cycles at a current density of 0.1?A?g-1 with a high coulombic efficiency of 99.9%. These materials clearly outperform bulk CuS, which is electrochemically active only at an elevated temperature of 50?°C. Our results not only point to the important role of nanomaterials in the enhancement of the kinetics of conversion reactions but also suggest that nanostructuring should be used as an integral tool in the exploration of new cathodes for multivalent, i.e., (Mg, Ca, Al)-ion batteries.
