Phase engineering of cobalt hydroxide toward cation intercalation.

ABSTRACT: Multi-cation intercalation in aqueous and neutral media is promising for the development of high-safety energy storage devices. However, developing a new host matrix for reversible cation intercalation as well as understanding the relationship between cation intercalation and the interlayer structure is still a challenge. In this work, we demonstrate layered cobalt hydroxides as a promising host for cation interaction, which exhibit high metal ion (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺) storage capacities after phase transformation. Moreover, it is found that α-Co(OH)₂ with an intercalated structure is more conducive to phase transition after electrochemical activation than β-Co(OH)₂. As a result, the activated α-Co(OH)₂ delivers four times higher capacity in multi-cation storage than activated β-Co(OH)₂. Meanwhile, the α-Co(OH)₂ after activation also shows an ultralong cycle life with capacity retention of 93.9% after 5000 cycles, which is also much superior to that of β-Co(OH)₂ (∼74.8%). Thus, this work displays the relationship between cation intercalation and the interlayer structure of layered materials, which is important for designing multi-ion storage materials in aqueous media.

Improving rechargeable magnesium batteries through dual cation co-intercalation strategy.

Project description:The development of competitive rechargeable Mg batteries is hindered by the poor mobility of divalent Mg ions in cathode host materials. In this work, we explore the dual cation co-intercalation strategy to mitigate the sluggishness of Mg2+ in model TiS2 material. The strategy involves pairing Mg2+ with Li+ or Na+ in dual-salt electrolytes in order to exploit the faster mobility of the latter with the aim to reach better electrochemical performance. A combination of experiments and theoretical calculations details the charge storage and redox mechanism of co-intercalating cationic charge carriers. Comparative evaluation reveals that the redox activity of Mg2+ can be improved significantly with the help of the dual cation co-intercalation strategy, although the ionic radius of the accompanying monovalent ion plays a critical role on the viability of the strategy. More specifically, a significantly higher Mg2+ quantity intercalates with Li+ than with Na+ in TiS2. The reason being the absence of phase transition in the former case, which enables improved Mg2+ storage. Our results highlight dual cation co-intercalation strategy as an alternative approach to improve the electrochemical performance of rechargeable Mg batteries by opening the pathway to a rich playground of advanced cathode materials for multivalent battery applications.

Atomic-level energy storage mechanism of cobalt hydroxide electrode for pseudocapacitors.

Project description:Cobalt hydroxide is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors due to the high capacitance and long cyclability. However, the energy storage/conversion mechanism of cobalt hydroxide is still vague at the atomic level. Here we shed light on how cobalt hydroxide functions as a supercapacitor electrode at operando conditions. We find that the high specific capacitance and long cycling life of cobalt hydroxide involve a complete modification of the electrode morphology, which is usually believed to be unfavourable but in fact has little influence on the performance. The conversion during the charge/discharge process is free of any massive structural evolution, but with some tiny shuffling or adjustments of atom/ion species. The results not only unravel that the potential of supercapacitors could heavily rely on the underlying structural similarities of switching phases but also pave the way for future material design for supercapacitors, batteries and hybrid devices.

Intercalation of a Cationic Cyanine Dye Assisted by Anionic Surfactants within Mg-Al Layered Double Hydroxide.

Project description:An original route for the intercalation of a 1,1'-diethyl-2,2'-cyanine iodide (PIC) cationic dye, through the use of anionic surfactants as vector/carrier phases, within Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) was investigated. From the data acquired from complementary techniques (X-ray diffraction, infrared and UV-visible spectroscopies, thermogravimetry, and fluorimetry), it appears that both the intercalation and aggregation states of the cationic dye within the internal structure of LDH mainly depend on both the surfactant state (monomer form or spherical micelle) and its amount. The intercalation of PIC at a low molar ratio to the anionic surfactant leads to the formation of J-aggregates with singular fluorescence properties that mainly depend on the nature of the anionic surfactant used for the co-intercalation process. The results obtained in this study open new routes for the intercalation of cationic species, assisted by anionic surfactants, within LDHs.

Bis(ethyl-enediamine-κN,N')(nitrato-κO,O')cobalt(III) hydroxide nitrate.

Project description:The Co ion in the title salt, [Co(NO(3))(H(2)NCH(2)CH(2)NH(2))(2)](OH)(NO(3)), has oxidation state + III and is coordinated by four N atoms from two ethyl-enediamine mol-ecules and two O atoms from a nitrate anion in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The charge of the complex cation is balanced by a hydroxide anion and a nitrate anion. The cations and anions are connected by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three-dimensional supra-molecular framework. There are two independent ion pairs with similar configurations in the unit cell. Both uncoordinated nitrate counter-anions are disordered.

Water-mediated cation intercalation of open-framework indium hexacyanoferrate with high voltage and fast kinetics.

Project description:Rechargeable aqueous metal-ion batteries made from non-flammable and low-cost materials offer promising opportunities in large-scale utility grid applications, yet low voltage and energy output, as well as limited cycle life remain critical drawbacks in their electrochemical operation. Here we develop a series of high-voltage aqueous metal-ion batteries based on 'M(+)/N(+)-dual shuttles' to overcome these drawbacks. They utilize open-framework indium hexacyanoferrates as cathode materials, and TiP2O7 and NaTi2(PO4)3 as anode materials, respectively. All of them possess strong rate capability as ultra-capacitors. Through multiple characterization techniques combined with ab initio calculations, water-mediated cation intercalation of indium hexacyanoferrate is unveiled. Water is supposed to be co-inserted with Li(+) or Na(+), which evidently raises the intercalation voltage and reduces diffusion kinetics. As for K(+), water is not involved in the intercalation because of the channel space limitation.

Kinetics of intercalation of fluorescent probes in magnesium-aluminium layered double hydroxide within a multiscale reaction-diffusion framework.

Project description:We report the synthesis of magnesium-aluminium layered double hydroxide (LDH) using a reaction-diffusion framework (RDF) that exploits the multiscale coupling of molecular diffusion with chemical reactions, nucleation and growth of crystals. In an RDF, the hydroxide anions are allowed to diffuse into an organic gel matrix containing the salt mixture needed for the precipitation of the LDH. The chemical structure and composition of the synthesized magnesium-aluminium LDHs are determined using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermo-gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR), Fourier transform infrared and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. This novel technique also allows the investigation of the mechanism of intercalation of some fluorescent probes, such as the neutral three-dimensional rhodamine B (RhB) and the negatively charged two-dimensional 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (HPTS), using in situ steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. The incorporation of these organic dyes inside the interlayer region of the LDH is confirmed via fluorescence microscopy, solid-state lifetime, SSNMR and PXRD. The activation energies of intercalation of the corresponding molecules (RhB and HPTS) are computed and exhibit dependence on the geometry of the involved probe (two or three dimensions), the charge of the fluorescent molecule (anionic, cationic or neutral) and the cationic ratio of the corresponding LDH.This article is part of the themed issue 'Multiscale modelling at the physics-chemistry-biology interface'.

Permethyl Cobaltocenium (Cp*2Co+) as an Ultra-Stable Cation for Polymer Hydroxide-Exchange Membranes.

Project description:Hydroxide (OH(-))-exchange membranes (HEMs) are important polymer electrolytes enabling the use of affordable and earth-abundant electrocatalysts for electrochemical energy-conversion devices such as HEM fuel cells, HEM electrolyzers, and HEM solar hydrogen generators. Many HEM cations exist, featuring desirable properties, but new cations are still needed to increase chemical stability at elevated temperatures. Here we introduce the permethyl cobaltocenium [(C5Me5)2Co(III)(+) or Cp(*)2Co(+)] as an ultra-stable organic cation for polymer HEMs. Compared with the parent cobaltocenium [(C5H5)2Co(III)(+) or Cp2Co(+)], Cp(*)2Co(+) has substantially higher stability and basicity. With polysulfone as an example, we demonstrated the feasibility of covalently linking Cp(*)2Co(+) cation to polymer backbone and prepared Cp(*)2Co(+)-functionalized membranes as well. The new cation may be useful in designing more durable HEM electrochemical devices.

Bactericidal efficacies of food additive grade calcium hydroxide toward Legionella pneumophila.

Project description:Food additive grade calcium hydroxide (FdCa(OH)2) in the solution of 0.17% was evaluated for its bactericidal efficacies toward Legionella pneumophila with or without sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) at a concentration of 200 ppm total residual chlorine, at room temperature (RT) (25°C ± 2°C) and 42°C, either with or without 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Besides, FdCa(OH)2 in different concentration solutions were prepared in field water samples (hot spring and bath tab water) and evaluated for their bactericidal efficacies at 42°C. FdCa(OH)2 (0.17%) inactivated the L. pneumophila to the undetectable level (<2.6 log CFU/ml) within 5 min and 3 min, respectively, at RT and 42°C, with 5% FBS. At RT and 42°C, NaOCl inactivated L. pneumophila to the undetectable level within 5 min, without 5% FBS, but with 5% FBS, it could only inactivate this bacterium effectively (?3 log reductions). Conversely, at RT and 42°C, the mixture of 0.17% FdCa(OH)2 and 200 ppm NaOCl could inactivate L. pneumophila to the undetectable level, respectively, within 3 min and 1 min, even with 5% FBS, and it was elucidated that FdCa(OH)2 has a synergistic bactericidal effect together with NaOCl. FdCa(OH)2 0.05% solution prepared in hot spring water could inactivate L. pneumophila to the undetectable within 3 min at 42°C. So, FdCa(OH)2 alone could show nice bactericidal efficacy at 42°C, even with 5% FBS, as well as in field water samples.

Toward a Rational Design of Highly Folded Peptide Cation Conformations. 3D Gas-Phase Ion Structures and Ion Mobility Characterization.

Project description:Heptapeptide ions containing combinations of polar Lys, Arg, and Asp residues with non-polar Leu, Pro, Ala, and Gly residues were designed to study polar effects on gas-phase ion conformations. Doubly and triply charged ions were studied by ion mobility mass spectrometry and electron structure theory using correlated ab initio and density functional theory methods and found to exhibit tightly folded 3D structures in the gas phase. Manipulation of the basic residue positions in LKGPADR, LRGPADK, KLGPADR, and RLGPADK resulted in only minor changes in the ion collision cross sections in helium. Replacement of the Pro residue with Leu resulted in only marginally larger collision cross sections for the doubly and triply charged ions. Disruption of zwitterionic interactions in doubly charged ions was performed by converting the C-terminal and Asp carboxyl groups to methyl esters. This resulted in very minor changes in the collision cross sections of doubly charged ions and even slightly diminished collision cross sections in most triply charged ions. The experimental collision cross sections were related to those calculated for structures of lowest free energy ion conformers that were obtained by extensive search of the conformational space and fully optimized by density functional theory calculations. The predominant factors that affected ion structures and collision cross sections were due to attractive hydrogen bonding interactions and internal solvation of the charged groups that overcompensated their Coulomb repulsion. Structure features typically assigned to the Pro residue and zwitterionic COO-charged group interactions were only secondary in affecting the structures and collision cross sections of these gas-phase peptide ions.

PolyHIPE Derived Freestanding 3D Carbon Foam for Cobalt Hydroxide Nanorods Based High Performance Supercapacitor.

Project description:The current paper describes enhanced electrochemical capacitive performance of chemically grown Cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)2) nanorods (NRs) decorated porous three dimensional graphitic carbon foam (Co(OH)2/3D GCF) as a supercapacitor electrode. Freestanding 3D porous GCF is prepared by carbonizing, high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) polymerized styrene and divinylbenzene. The PolyHIPE was sulfonated and carbonized at temperature up to 850?°C to obtain graphitic 3D carbon foam with high surface area (389?m2 g-1) having open voids (14??m) interconnected by windows (4??m) in monolithic form. Moreover, entangled Co(OH)2 NRs are anchored on 3D GCF electrodes by using a facile chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The wide porous structure with high specific surface area (520?m2 g-1) access offered by the interconnected 3D GCF along with Co(OH)2 NRs morphology, displays ultrahigh specific capacitance, specific energy and power. The Co(OH)2/3D GCF electrode exhibits maximum specific capacitance about ~1235?F g-1 at ~1?A g-1 charge-discharge current density, in 1?M aqueous KOH solution. These results endorse potential applicability of Co(OH)2/3D GCF electrode in supercapacitors and signifies that, the porous GCF is a proficient 3D freestanding framework for loading pseudocapacitive nanostructured materials.
