MOF-Derived CoSe₂@N-Doped Carbon Matrix Confined in Hollow Mesoporous Carbon Nanospheres as High-Performance Anodes for Potassium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a novel vacuum-assisted strategy is proposed to homogenously form Metal-organic frameworks within hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres (HMCSs) via a solid-state reaction. The method is applied to synthesize an ultrafine CoSe₂ nanocrystal@N-doped carbon matrix confined within HMCSs (denoted as CoSe₂@NC/HMCS) for use as advanced anodes in high-performance potassium-ion batteries (KIBs). The approach involves a solvent-free thermal treatment to form a Co-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) within the HMCS templates under vacuum conditions and the subsequent selenization. Thermal treatment under vacuum facilitates the infiltration of the cobalt precursor and organic linker into the HMCS and simultaneously transforms them into stable ZIF-67 particles without any solvents. During the subsequent selenization process, the "dual confinement system", composed of both the N-doped carbon matrix derived from the organic linker and the small-sized pores of HMCS, can effectively suppress the overgrowth of CoSe₂ nanocrystals. Thus, the resulting uniquely structured composite exhibits a stable cycling performance (442 mAh g^-1 at 0.1 A g^-1 after 120 cycles) and excellent rate capability (263 mAh g^-1 at 2.0 A g^-1) as the anode material for KIBs.

Carbon confined GeO2 hollow spheres for stable rechargeable Na ion batteries.

Project description:Germanium (Ge) based nanomaterials are regarded as promising high-capacity anode materials for Na ion batteries, but suffer fast capacity fading problems caused by the alloying/de-alloying reactions of Na-Ge. Herein, we report a new method for preparing highly dispersed GeO2 by using molecular-level ionic liquids (ILs) as carbon sources. In the obtained GeO2@C composite material, GeO2 exhibits hollow spherical morphology and is uniformly distributed in the carbon matrix. The as-prepared GeO2@C exhibits improved Na ion storage performances including high reversible capacity (577 mA h g-1 at 0.1C), rate property (270 mA h g-1 at 3C), and high capacity retention (82.3% after 500 cycles). The improved electrochemical performance could be attributed to the unique nanostructure of GeO2@C, the synergistic effect between GeO2 hollow spheres and the carbon matrix ensures the anode material effectively alleviates the volume expansion and the particle agglomeration problems.

SnS2@C Hollow Nanospheres with Robust Structural Stability as High-Performance Anodes for Sodium Ion Batteries.

Project description:Constructing unique and highly stable structures with plenty of electroactive sites in sodium storage materials is a key factor for achieving improved electrochemical properties through favorable sodium ion diffusion kinetics. An SnS2@carbon hollow nanospheres (SnS2@C) has been designed and fabricated via a facile solvothermal route, followed by an annealing treatment. The SnS2@C hybrid possesses an ideal hollow structure, rich active sites, a large electrode/electrolyte interface, a shortened ion transport pathway, and, importantly, a buffer space for volume change, generated from the repeated insertion/extraction of sodium ions. These merits lead to the significant reinforcement of structural integrity during electrochemical reactions and the improvement in sodium storage properties, with a high specific reversible capacity of 626.8 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at a current density of 0.2 A g-1 and superior high-rate performance (304.4 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1).

Heteroatom Doped-Carbon Nanospheres as Anodes in Lithium Ion Batteries.

Project description:Long cycle performance is a crucial requirement in energy storage devices. New formulations and/or improvement of "conventional" materials have been investigated in order to achieve this target. Here we explore the performance of a novel type of carbon nanospheres (CNSs) with three heteroatom co-doped (nitrogen, phosphorous and sulfur) and high specific surface area as anode materials for lithium ion batteries. The CNSs were obtained from carbonization of highly-crosslinked organo (phosphazene) nanospheres (OPZs) of 300 nm diameter. The OPZs were synthesized via a single and facile step of polycondensation reaction between hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) and 4,4'-sulphonyldiphenol (BPS). The X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed a high heteroatom-doping content in the structure of CNSs while the textural evaluation from the N₂ sorption isotherms revealed the presence of micro- and mesopores and a high specific surface area of 875 m²/g. The CNSs anode showed remarkable stability and coulombic efficiency in a long charge-discharge cycling up to 1000 cycles at 1C rate, delivering about 130 mA·h·g-1. This study represents a step toward smart engineering of inexpensive materials with practical applications for energy devices.

A Confined Replacement Synthesis of Bismuth Nanodots in MOF Derived Carbon Arrays as Binder-Free Anodes for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The inferior tolerance with reversible accommodation of large-sized Na+ ion in electrode materials has plagued the adaptability of sodium-ion chemistry. The sluggish diffusion kinetics of Na+ also baffles the desirability. Herein, a carbon fiber supported binder-free electrode consisting of bismuth and carbon composite is designed. Well-confined bismuth nanodots are synthesized by replacing cobalt in the metal-organic frameworks (MOF)-derived, nitrogen-doped carbon arrays, which are demonstrated with remarkable reversibility during sodiation and desodiation. Cobalt species in the pristine MOF catalyze the graphitization around organic components in calcination, generating a highly conductive network in which the bismuth is to be embedded. The uniformly dispersed bismuth nanodots provide plenty boundaries and abundant active sites in the carbon arrays, where fast sodium storage kinetics are realized to contribute extra capacity and excellent rate performance.

Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Interfaces Enable the Preparation of Nitrogen-Doped Hollow Carbon Nanospheres as High-Performance Anodes for Lithium and Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:An abundant hollow nanostructure is crucial for fast Li+ and K+ diffusion paths and sufficient electrolyte penetration, which creates a highly conductive network for ionic and electronic transport. In this study, we successfully developed a molecular-bridge-linked, organic-inorganic hybrid interface that enables the preparation of in situ nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanospheres. Moreover, the prepared HCNSs, with high nitrogen content of up to 10.4%, feature homogeneous and regular morphologies. The resulting HCNSs exhibit excellent lithium and potassium storage properties when used as electrode materials. Specifically, the HCNS-800 electrode demonstrates a stable reversible discharge capacity of 642 mA h g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 after 500 cycles for LIBs. Similarly, the electrode maintains a discharge capacity of 205 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 500 cycles for KIBs. Moreover, when coupled with a high-mass-loading LiFePO4 cathode to design full cells, the HCNS-800‖LiFePO4 cells provide a specific discharge capacity of 139 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C. These results indicate that the HCNS electrode has promising potential for use in high-energy and environmentally sustainable lithium-based and potassium-based batteries.

Construction of Carbon Nanofiber-Wrapped SnO2 Hollow Nanospheres as Flexible Integrated Anode for Half/Full Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:SnO2 is deemed a potential candidate for high energy density (1494 mAh g-1) anode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, its severe volume variation and low intrinsic electrical conductivity result in poor long-term stability and reversibility, limiting the further development of such materials. Therefore, we propose a novel strategy, that is, to prepare SnO2 hollow nanospheres (SnO2-HNPs) by a template method, and then introduce these SnO2-HNPs into one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanofibers (CNFs) uniformly via electrospinning technology. Such a sugar gourd-like construction effectively addresses the limitations of traditional SnO2 during the charging and discharging processes of LIBs. As a result, the optimized product (denoted SnO2-HNP/CNF), a binder-free integrated electrode for half and full LIBs, displays superior electrochemical performance as an anode material, including high reversible capacity (~735.1 mAh g-1 for half LIBs and ~455.3 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 for full LIBs) and favorable long-term cycling stability. This work confirms that sugar gourd-like SnO2-HNP/CNF flexible integrated electrodes prepared with this novel strategy can effectively improve battery performance, providing infinite possibilities for the design and development of flexible wearable battery equipment.

Porous Hybrid Nanofibers Comprising ZnSe/CoSe₂/Carbon with Uniformly Distributed Pores as Anodes for High-Performance Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Well-designed porous structured bimetallic ZnSe/CoSe₂/carbon composite nanofibers with uniformly distributed pores were prepared as anodes for sodium-ion batteries by electrospinning and subsequent simple heat-treatment processes. Size-controlled polystyrene (PS) nanobeads in the electrospinning solution played a key role in the formation and uniform distribution of pores in the nanofiber structure, after the removal of selected PS nanobeads during the heat-treatment process. The porous ZnSe/CoSe₂/C composite nanofibers were able to release severe mechanical stress/strain during discharge-charge cycles, introduce larger contact area between the active materials and the electrolyte, and provide more active sites during cycling. The discharge capacity of porous ZnSe/CoSe2/C composite nanofibers at the 10,000th cycle was 297 mA h g-1, and the capacity retention measured from the second cycle was 81%. The final rate capacities of porous ZnSe/CoSe2/C composite nanofibers were 438, 377, 367, 348, 335, 323, and 303 mA h g-1 at current densities of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 A g-1, respectively. At the higher current densities of 10, 20, and 30 A g-1, the final rate capacities were 310, 222, and 141 mA h g-1, respectively.

Hollow carbon nanospheres/silicon/alumina core-shell film as an anode for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Hollow carbon nanospheres/silicon/alumina (CNS/Si/Al?O?) core-shell films obtained by the deposition of Si and Al?O? on hollow CNS interconnected films are used as the anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The hollow CNS film acts as a three dimensional conductive substrate and provides void space for silicon volume expansion during electrochemical cycling. The Al2O3 thin layer is beneficial to the reduction of solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation. Moreover, as-designed structure holds the robust surface-to-surface contact between Si and CNSs, which facilitates the fast electron transport. As a consequence, the electrode exhibits high specific capacity and remarkable capacity retention simultaneously: 1560?mA h g(-1) after 100 cycles at a current density of 1?A g(-1) with the capacity retention of 85% and an average decay rate of 0.16% per cycle. The superior battery properties are further confirmed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and impedance measurement.

Mesoporous hollow carbon spheres for lithium-sulfur batteries: distribution of sulfur and electrochemical performance.

Project description:Hollow carbon spheres (HCS) with a nanoporous shell are promising for the use in lithium-sulfur batteries because of the large internal void offering space for sulfur and polysulfide storage and confinement. However, there is an ongoing discussion whether the cavity is accessible for sulfur. Yet no valid proof of cavity filling has been presented, mostly due to application of unsuitable high-vacuum methods for the analysis of sulfur distribution. Here we describe the distribution of sulfur in hollow carbon spheres by powder X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy along with results from scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen physisorption. The results of these methods lead to the conclusion that the cavity is not accessible for sulfur infiltration. Nevertheless, HCS/sulfur composite cathodes with areal sulfur loadings of 2.0 mg·cm-2 were investigated electrochemically, showing stable cycling performance with specific capacities of about 500 mAh·g-1 based on the mass of sulfur over 500 cycles.

Prussian Blue Analogue-Derived Fe-Doped CoS2 Nanoparticles Confined in Bayberry-like N-Doped Carbon Spheres as Anodes for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Obvious volume change and the dissolution of polysulfide as well as sluggish kinetics are serious issues for the development of high performance metal sulfide anodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), which usually result in fast capacity fading during continuous sodiation and desodiation processes. In this work, by utilizing a Prussian blue analogue as functional precursors, small Fe-doped CoS2 nanoparticles spatially confined in N-doped carbon spheres with rich porosity were synthesized through facile successive precipitation, carbonization, and sulfurization processes, leading to the formation of bayberry-like Fe-doped CoS2/N-doped carbon spheres (Fe-CoS2/NC). By introducing a suitable amount of FeCl3 in the starting materials, the optimal Fe-CoS2/NC hybrid spheres with the designed composition and pore structure exhibited superior cycling stability (621 mA h g-1 after 400 cycles at 1 A g-1) and improved the rate capability (493 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1). This work provides a new avenue for the rational design and synthesis of high performance metal sulfide-based anode materials toward SIBs.
