Investigating the Cycling Stability of Fe₂WO₆ Pseudocapacitive Electrode Materials.

ABSTRACT: The stability upon cycling of Fe₂WO₆ used as a negative electrode material for electrochemical capacitors was investigated. The material was synthesized using low temperature conditions for the first time (220 °C). The electrochemical study of Fe₂WO₆ in a 5 M LiNO₃ aqueous electrolyte led to a specific and volumetric capacitance of 38 F g^-1 and 240 F cm^-3 when cycled at 2 mV·s^-1, respectively, associated with a minor capacitance loss after 10,000 cycles. In order to investigate this very good cycling stability, both surface and bulk characterization techniques (such as Transmission Electron Microscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and magnetization measurements) were used. Only a slight disordering of the Fe³⁺ cations was observed in the structure, explaining the good stability of the Fe₂WO₆ upon cycling. This study adds another pseudocapacitive material to the short list of compounds that exhibit such a behavior up to now.

Chemical and structural stability of lithium-ion battery electrode materials under electron beam.

Project description:The investigation of chemical and structural dynamics in battery materials is essential to elucidation of structure-property relationships for rational design of advanced battery materials. Spatially resolved techniques, such as scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM), are widely applied to address this challenge. However, battery materials are susceptible to electron beam damage, complicating the data interpretation. In this study, we demonstrate that, under electron beam irradiation, the surface and bulk of battery materials undergo chemical and structural evolution equivalent to that observed during charge-discharge cycling. In a lithiated NiO nanosheet, a Li2CO3-containing surface reaction layer (SRL) was gradually decomposed during electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) acquisition. For cycled LiNi(0.4)Mn(0.4)Co(0.18)Ti(0.02)O2 particles, repeated electron beam irradiation induced a phase transition from an layered structure to an rock-salt structure, which is attributed to the stoichiometric lithium and oxygen removal from 3a and 6c sites, respectively. Nevertheless, it is still feasible to preserve pristine chemical environments by minimizing electron beam damage, for example, using fast electron imaging and spectroscopy. Finally, the present study provides examples of electron beam damage on lithium-ion battery materials and suggests that special attention is necessary to prevent misinterpretation of experimental results.

Enhanced Pseudocapacitive Performance of Symmetric Polypyrrole-MnO2 Electrode and Polymer Gel Electrolyte.

Project description:Herein, the nanostructured polypyrrole-coated MnO2 nanofibers growth on carbon cloth (PPy-MnO2-CC) to serve as the electrodes used in conjunction with a quasi-ionic liquid-based polymer gel electrolyte (urea-LiClO4-PVA) for solid-state symmetric supercapacitors (SSCs). The resultant PPy-MnO2-CC solid-state SSCs exhibited a high specific capacitance of 270 F/g at 1.0 A/g in a stable and wide potential window of 2.1 V with a high energy/power density (165.3 Wh/kg at 1.0 kW/kg and 21.0 kW/kg at 86.4 Wh/kg) along with great cycling stability (capacitance retention of 92.1% retention after 3000 cycles) and rate capability (141 F/g at 20 A/g), exceeding most of the previously reported SSCs. The outstanding performance of the studied 2.1 V PPy-MnO2-CC flexible SSCs could be attributed to the nanostructured PPy-coated MnO2 composite electrode and the urea-LiClO4-PVA polymer gel electrolyte design. In addition, the PPy-MnO2-CC solid-state SSCs could effectively retain their electrochemical performance at various bending angles, demonstrating their huge potential as power sources for flexible and lightweight electronic devices. This work offers an easy way to design and achieve light weight and high-performance SSCs with enhanced energy/power density.

Hierarchical NiMn-LDH Hollow Spheres as a Promising Pseudocapacitive Electrode for Supercapacitor Application.

Project description:Layered double hydroxides (LDH) are regarded as attractive pseudocapacitive materials due to their impressive capacitive qualities that may be adjustable to their morphological features. However, the layered structure of LDH renders them susceptible to structural aggregation, which inhibits effective electrolyte transport and limits their practical applicability after limited exposure to active areas. Herein, we propose a simple template-free strategy to synthesize hierarchical hollow sphere NiMn-LDH material with high surface area and exposed active as anode material for supercapacitor application. The template-free approach enables the natural nucleation of Ni-Mn ions resulting in thin sheets that self-assemble into a hollow sphere, offering expended interlayer spaces and abundant redox-active active sites. The optimal NiMn-LDH-12 achieved a specific capacitance of 1010.4 F g-1 at a current density of 0.2 A g-1 with capacitance retention of 70% at 5 A g-1 after 5000 cycles with lower charge transfer impedance. When configured into an asymmetric supercapacitors (ASC) device as NiMn-LDH//AC, the material realized a specific capacitance of 192.4 F g-1 at a current density of 0.2 A g-1 with a good energy density of 47.9 Wh kg-1 and a power density of 196.8 W kg-1. The proposed morphological-tuning route is promising for designing template-free NiMn-LDHs spheres with practical pseudocapacitive characteristics.

Hierarchically Nanoporous Pyropolymers Derived from Waste Pinecone as a Pseudocapacitive Electrode for Lithium Ion Hybrid Capacitors.

Project description:The non-aqueous asymmetric lithium ion hybrid capacitor (LIHC) is a tactical energy storage device composed of a faradic and non-faradic electrode pair, which aims to achieve both high energy and great power densities. On the other hand, the different types of electrode combinations cause severe imbalances in energy and power capabilities, leading to poor electrochemical performance. Herein, waste pinecone-derived hierarchically porous pyropolymers (WP-HPPs) were fabricated as a surface-driven pseudocapacitive electrode, which has the advantages of both faradic and non-faradic electrodes. The unique materials properties of WP-HPPs possessing high effective surface areas and hierarchically open nanopores led to high specific capacities of ~412 mA h g-1 and considerable rate/cycling performance as a cathode for LIHCs. In particular, nanometer-scale pores, approximately 3 nm in size, plays a key role in the pseudocapacitive charge storage behaviors because open nanopores can transport solvated Li-ions easily into the inside of complex carbon structures and a large specific surface area can be provided by the effective active surface for charge storage. In addition, WP-HPP-based asymmetric LIHCs assembled with a pseudocapacitive counterpart demonstrated feasible electrochemical performance, such as maximum specific energy and specific power of ~340 Wh kg-1 and ~11,000 W kg-1, respectively, with significant cycling stability.

Highly Porous Free-Standing rGO/SnO2 Pseudocapacitive Cathodes for High-Rate and Long-Cycling Al-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Establishing energy storage systems beyond conventional lithium ion batteries requires the development of novel types of electrode materials. Such materials should be capable of accommodating ion species other than Li+, and ideally, these ion species should be of multivalent nature, such as Al3+. Along this line, we introduce a highly porous aerogel cathode composed of reduced graphene oxide, which is loaded with nanostructured SnO2. This binder-free hybrid not only exhibits an outstanding mechanical performance, but also unites the pseudocapacity of the reduced graphene oxide and the electrochemical storage capacity of the SnO2 nanoplatelets. Moreover, the combination of both materials gives rise to additional intercalation sites at their interface, further contributing to the total capacity of up to 16 mAh cm-3 at a charging rate of 2 C. The high porosity (99.9%) of the hybrid and the synergy of its components yield a cathode material for high-rate (up to 20 C) aluminum ion batteries, which exhibit an excellent cycling stability over 10,000 tested cycles. The electrode design proposed here has a great potential to meet future energy and power density demands for advanced energy storage devices.

Significant Enhancement of the Capacity and Cycling Stability of Lithium-Rich Manganese-Based Layered Cathode Materials via Molybdenum Surface Modification.

Project description:Lithium-rich manganese-based layered cathode materials are considered to be one of the best options for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, owing to their ultra-high specific capacity (>250 mAh·g-1) and platform voltage. However, their poor cycling stability, caused by the release of lattice oxygen as well as the electrode/electrolyte side reactions accompanying complex phase transformation, makes it difficult to use this material in practical applications. In this work, we suggest a molybdenum surface modification strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2. The Mo-modified Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 material exhibits an enhanced discharge specific capacity of up to 290.5 mAh·g-1 (20 mA·g-1) and a capacity retention rate of 82% (300 cycles at 200 mA·g-1), compared with 261.2 mAh·g-1 and a 70% retention rate for the material without Mo modification. The significantly enhanced performance of the modified material can be ascribed to the formation of a Mo-compound-involved nanolayer on the surface of the materials, which effectively lessens the electrolyte corrosion of the cathode, as well as the activation of Mo6+ towards Ni2+/Ni4+ redox couples and the pre-activation of a Mo compound. This study offers a facile and effective strategy to address the poor cyclability of lithium-rich manganese-based layered cathode materials.

Two-dimensional β-MoO<sub>3</sub>@C nanosheets as high-performance negative materials for supercapacitors with excellent cycling stability.

Project description:MoO3 has gained a great deal of attention as a promising electrode material in energy storage devices. In particular, the low dimensional MoO3 nanosheets coated with carbon layers are desirable electrode materials in supercapacitors. However, the fabrication or construction of β-MoO3 with a special morphology is difficult. Here, we report a simple solvothermal treatment method to synthesize two-dimensional β-MoO3@C (2D β-MoO3@C) nanosheets. When used as electrode materials for supercapacitors, the as-prepared material displays an ultra-long lifespan with a 94% retention ratio after 50 000 cycles at 2 A g-1. The excellent cycling stability is mainly attributed to the unique 2D nanosheet structure and the presence of the carbon layer on the surface of the nanosheet. Specifically, the presence of the carbon layer increases the electric conductivity of MoO3, which facilitates a good access point for electrolyte ions and short ion diffusion paths. In addition, MoO3 that has been coated with a carbon layer can maintain a good structural stability due to the carbon layer restricting the volume expansion of MoO3 during the charge procedure. We believe that the present work opens a new way for designing the 2D layered materials with unique architectures for supercapacitor applications.

Electrode Materials for High-Performance Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are being billed as an economical and environmental alternative to lithium ion batteries (LIBs), especially for medium and large-scale stationery and grid storage. However, SIBs suffer from lower capacities, energy density and cycle life performance. Therefore, in order to be more efficient and feasible, novel high-performance electrodes for SIBs need to be developed and researched. This review aims to provide an exhaustive discussion about the state-of-the-art in novel high-performance anodes and cathodes being currently analyzed, and the variety of advantages they demonstrate in various critically important parameters, such as electronic conductivity, structural stability, cycle life, and reversibility.

Sorting Lithium-Ion Battery Electrode Materials Using Dielectrophoresis.

Project description:Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are common in everyday life and the demand for their raw materials is increasing. Additionally, spent LIBs should be recycled to achieve a circular economy and supply resources for new LIBs or other products. Especially the recycling of the active material of the electrodes is the focus of current research. Existing approaches for recycling (e.g., pyro-, hydrometallurgy, or flotation) still have their drawbacks, such as the loss of materials, generation of waste, or lack of selectivity. In this study, we test the behavior of commercially available LiFePO4 and two types of graphite microparticles in a dielectrophoretic high-throughput filter. Dielectrophoresis is a volume-dependent electrokinetic force that is commonly used in microfluidics but recently also for applications that focus on enhanced throughput. In our study, graphite particles show significantly higher trapping than LiFePO4 particles. The results indicate that nearly pure fractions of LiFePO4 can be obtained with this technique from a mixture with graphite.

Efficient Recovery Annealing of the Pseudocapacitive Electrode with a High Loading of Cobalt Oxide Nanoparticles for Hybrid Supercapacitor Applications.

Project description:Electrochemical pseudocapacitors, along with batteries, are the essential components of today's highly efficient energy storage systems. Cobalt oxide is widely developing for hybrid supercapacitor pseudocapacitance electrode applications due to its wide range of redox reactions, high theoretical capacitance, low cost, and presence of electrical conductivity. In this work, a recovery annealing approach is proposed to modify the electrochemical properties of Co3O4 pseudocapacitive electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry measurements indicate a predominance of surface-controlled redox reactions as a result of recovery annealing. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, and XPES results showed that due to the small size of cobalt oxide particles, low-temperature recovery causes the transformation of the Co3O4 nanocrystalline phase into the CoO phase. For the same reason, a rapid reverse transformation of CoO into Co3O4 occurs during in situ oxidation. This recrystallization enhances the electrochemical activity of the surface of nanoparticles, where a high concentration of oxygen vacancies is observed in the resulting Co3O4 phase. Thus, a simple method of modifying nanocrystalline Co3O4 electrodes provides much-improved pseudocapacitance characteristics.
