Advanced Te_xS_y-C Nanocomposites for High-Performance Lithium Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: This study is dedicated to expand the family of lithium-tellurium sulfide batteries, which have been recognized as a promising choice for future energy storage systems. Herein, a novel electrochemical method has been applied to engineer micro-nano Te_xS_y material, and it is found that Te_xS_y phases combined with multi-walled carbon nanotubes endow the as-constructed lithium-ion batteries excellent cycling stability and high rate performance. In the process of material synthesis, the sulfur was successfully embedded into the tellurium matrix, which improved the overall capacity performance. Te_xS_y was characterized and verified as a micro-nano-structured material with less Te and more S. Compared with the original pure Te particles, the capacity is greatly improved, and the volume expansion change is effectively inhibited. After the assembly of Li-Te_xS_y battery, the stable electrical contact and rapid transport capacity of lithium ions, as well as significant electrochemical performance are verified.

Humate-assisted Synthesis of MoS2/C Nanocomposites via Co-Precipitation/Calcination Route for High Performance Lithium Ion Batteries.

Project description:A facile, cost-effective, non-toxic, and surfactant-free route has been developed to synthesize MoS2/carbon (MoS2/C) nanocomposites. Potassium humate consists of a wide variety of oxygen-containing functional groups, which is considered as promising candidates for functionalization of graphene. Using potassium humate as carbon source, two-dimensional MoS2/C nanosheets with irregular shape were synthesized via a stabilized co-precipitation/calcination process. Electrochemical performance of the samples as an anode of lithium ion battery was measured, demonstrating that the MoS2/C nanocomposite calcinated at 700 °C (MoS2/C-700) electrode showed outstanding performance with a high discharge capacity of 554.9 mAh g-?1 at a current density of 100 mA g-?1 and the Coulomb efficiency of the sample maintained a high level of approximately 100% after the first 3 cycles. Simultaneously, the MoS2/C-700 electrode exhibited good cycling stability and rate performance. The success in synthesizing MoS2/C nanocomposites via co-precipitation/calcination route may pave a new way to realize promising anode materials for high-performance lithium ion batteries.

Te-rP-C Anodes Prepared Using a Scalable Milling Process for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Red phosphorus (rP) is one of the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, owing to its high theoretical capacity. However, its low electronic conductivity and large volume expansion during cycling limit its practical applications, as it exhibits low electrochemical activity and unstable cyclability. To address these problems, tellurium (Te)-rP-C composites, which have active materials (Te, rP) that are uniformly distributed within the carbon matrix, were fabricated through a simple high-energy ball milling method. Among the three electrodes, the Te-rP (1:2)-C electrode with a 5% FEC additive delivers a high initial CE of 80% and a high reversible capacity of 734 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g-1. Additionally, it exhibits a high-rate capacity of 580 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 10,000 mA g-1. Moreover, a comparison of the electrolytes with and without the 5% FEC additive demonstrated improved cycling stability when the FEC additive was used. Ex situ XRD analysis demonstrated the lithiation/delithiation mechanism of Te-rP (1:2)-C after cycling based on the cyclic voltammetry results. Based on the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis results, a Te-rP-C composite with its notable electrochemical performance as an anode can sufficiently contribute to the battery anode industry.

Supercritical CO2 Assisted Solvothermal Preparation of CoO/Graphene Nanocomposites for High Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Supercritical CO2 (scCO2) is often used to prepare graphene/metal oxide nanocomposite anodes for high performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) by the assisted solvothermal method due to its low viscosity, high diffusion, zero surface tension and good surface wettability. However, the formation mechanism of metal oxides and the combination mechanism between metal oxides and graphene in this system are superficial. In this work, a cobalt monoxide/graphene (CoO/G) nanocomposite is fabricated via the scCO2 assisted solvothermal method followed by thermal treatment. We elucidate the mechanism that amorphous intermediates obtain by the scCO2 assisted solvothermal method, and then ultrafine CoO nanoparticles are crystallized during the heat treatment. In addition, scCO2 can promote CoO to be tightly fixed on the surface of graphene nanosheets by interfacial chemical bonds, which can effectively improve its cycle stability and rate performance. As expected, the CoO/G composites exhibit higher specific capacity (961 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1), excellent cyclic stability and rate capability (617 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 1000 mA g-1) when applied as an anode of LIB.

One-Pot Synthesis and High Electrochemical Performance of CuS/Cu1.8S Nanocomposites as Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:CuS and Cu1.8S have been investigated respectively as anodes of lithium-ion batteries because of their abundant resources, no environment pollution, good electrical conductivity, and a stable discharge voltage plateau. In this work, CuS/Cu1.8S nanocomposites were firstly prepared simultaneously by the one-pot synthesis method at a relatively higher reaction temperature 200 °C. The CuS/Cu1.8S nanocomposites anodes exhibited a high initial discharge capacity, an excellent reversible rate capability, and remarkable cycle stability at a high current density, which could be due to the nano-size of the CuS/Cu1.8S nanocomposites and the assistance of Cu1.8S. The high electrochemical performance of the CuS/Cu1.8S nanocomposites indicated that the CuxS nanomaterials will be a potential lithium-ion battery anode.

CuCr2O4@rGO Nanocomposites as High-Performance Cathode Catalyst for Rechargeable Lithium-Oxygen Batteries.

Project description:Rechargeable lithium-oxygen batteries have been considered as a promising energy storage technology because of their ultra-high theoretical energy densities which are comparable to gasoline. In order to improve the electrochemical properties of lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs), especially the cycling performance, a high-efficiency cathode catalyst is the most important component. Hence, we aim to demonstrate that CuCr2O4@rGO (CCO@rGO) nanocomposites, which are synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method and followed by a series of calcination processes, are an effective cathode catalyst. The obtained CCO@rGO nanocomposites which served as the cathode catalyst of the LOBs exhibited an outstanding cycling performance for over 100 cycles with a fixed capacity of 1000 mAh g-1 at a current density of 200 mA g-1. The enhanced properties were attributed to the synergistic effect between the high catalytic efficiency of the spinel-structured CCO nanoparticles, the high specific surface area, and high conductivity of the rGO.

Mesoporous hexagonal Co3O4 for high performance lithium ion batteries.

Project description:Mesoporous Co3O4 nanoplates were successfully prepared by the conversion of hexagonal β-Co(OH)2 nanoplates. TEM, HRTEM and N2 sorption analysis confirmed the facet crystal structure and inner mesoporous architecture. When applied as anode materials for lithium storage in lithium ion batteries, mesoporous Co3O4 nanocrystals delivered a high specific capacity. At 10 C current rate, as-prepared mesoporous Co3O4 nanoplates delivered a specific capacity of 1203 mAh/g at first cycle and after 200 cycles it can still maintain a satisfied value (330 mAh/g). From ex-situ TEM, SAED and FESEM observation, it was found that mesoporous Co3O4 nanoplates were reduced to Li2O and Co during the discharge process and re-oxidised without losing the mesoporous structure during charge process. Even after 100 cycles, mesoporous Co3O4 crystals still preserved their pristine hexagonal shape and mesoporous nanostructure.

Ultrathin Mesoporous Co3O4 Nanosheet Arrays for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Transition metal oxides, such as Co3O4, have attracted great attention for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity and satisfactory chemical stability. However, the slow kinetics of Li-ion and electron transport as well as poor cycling stability still largely restrains their applications. Here, we report the rational design of well-defined mesoporous ultrathin Co3O4 nanosheet arrays (NSAs) by topological transformation of layered double hydroxides nanosheet arrays (NSAs), which demonstrate significantly enhanced performance as anode for LIBs. The as-obtained Co3O4 NSAs with suitable thickness and abundant mesopores show excellent electrochemistry performance for LIBs, giving a high specific charge capacity of 2019.6 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, a good rate capability, and a remarkable cycling stability (1576.9 mAh g-1 after the 80th cycle), which is much superior to that of Co3O4 with thicker or thinner nanosheets as well as to that of the reported results. This facile strategy may be extended to the synthesis of other transition metal oxide NSAs, which can be potentially used in energy storage and conversion devices.

Project description:Traditional lithium-ion batteries cannot meet the ever-increasing energy demands due to the unsatisfied graphite anode with sluggish electrochemical kinetics. Recently, the perovskite material family as anode attracts growing attention due to their advantages on specific capacity, rate capability, lifetime, and safety. Herein, a double perovskite La2 MnNiO6 synthesized by solid-state reaction method as a high-performance anode material for LIBs is reported. La2 MnNiO6 with an average operating potential of <0.8 V versus Li+ /Li exhibits a good rate capability. Besides, the Li|La2 MnNiO6 cells perform long cycle life without decay after 1000 cycles at 1C and a high cycling retention of 93% is observed after 3000 cycles at 6C. It reveals that this material maintains stable perovskite structure with cycling. Theoretical calculations further demonstrate the high electronic conductivity, low diffusion energy barrier, and structural stability of the lithiated La2 MnNiO6 . This study highlights the double perovskite type material as a promising anode for next-generation batteries.
