Dual Confinement of CoSe₂ Nanorods with Polyphosphazene-Derived Heteroatom-Doped Carbon and Reduced Graphene Oxide for Potassium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: High-capacity and highly stable anode materials are some of the keys to the realization of the application of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Cobalt diselenide (CoSe₂) has been regarded as a high-potential anode material for PIBs. However, solving the problems of sluggish kinetics and large volumetric expansion during intercalation/deintercalation of K⁺ ions is always very challenging in terms of cobalt diselenide-based anode materials. Herein, reduced graphene oxide-encapsulated polyphosphazene-derived S, P, and N codoped carbon (SPNC)-coated CoSe₂ nanorods (CoSe₂⊂SPNC⊂rGO) were designed as PIB anode materials. CoSe₂⊂SPNC⊂rGO delivers an excellent reversible capacity of 287.2 mAh g^-1 at 100 mA g^-1. Benefiting from the coating of heteroatom-doped carbon and encapsulation of rGO, the CoSe₂⊂SPNC⊂rGO anodes exhibit a remarkable rate capability (100-1500 mA g^-1 current density) and high stability (208.8 mAh g^-1 after 500 cycles at 500 mA g^-1). The results demonstrate that S, P, and N codoping in carbon layers provides active sites for K⁺ ion storage and increases the electrical conductivity. More importantly, the dual confinement of CoSe₂ nanorods with carbon layers and rGO significantly reduced the volume expansion and kept the electrode structural integrity with repeating intercalation/deintercalation of K⁺ ions.

Metallic Octahedral CoSe2 Threaded by N-Doped Carbon Nanotubes: A Flexible Framework for High-Performance Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Due to the abundant and low-cost K resources, the exploration of suitable materials for potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) is advancing as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, the large-sized and sluggish-kinetic K ions cause poor battery behavior. This work reports a metallic octahedral CoSe2 threaded by N-doped carbon nanotubes as a flexible framework for a high-performance KIBs anode. The metallic property of CoSe2 together with the highly conductive N-doped carbon nanotubes greatly accelerates the electron transfer and improves the rate performance. The carbon nanotube framework serves as a backbone to inhibit the agglomeration, anchor the active materials, and stabilize the integral structure. Every octahedral CoSe2 particle arranges along the carbon nanotubes in sequence, and the zigzag void space can accommodate the volume expansion during cycling, therefore boosting the cycling stability. Density functional theory is also employed to study the K-ion intercalation/deintercalation process. This unique structure delivers a high capacity (253 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 over 100 cycles) and enhanced rate performance (173 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 over 600 cycles) as an advanced anode material for KIBs.

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

Project description: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.

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.

Doping-Induced Electronic/Ionic Engineering to Optimize the Redox Kinetics for Potassium Storage: A Case Study of Ni-Doped CoSe2.

Project description:Heteroatom doping effectively tunes the electronic conductivity of transition metal selenides (TMSs) with rapid K+ accessibility in potassium ion batteries (PIBs). Although considerable efforts are dedicated to investigating the relationship between the doping strategy and the resulting electrochemistry, the doping mechanisms, especially in view of the ion and electronic diffusion kinetics upon cycling, are seldom elucidated systematically. Herein, the crystal structure stability, charge/ion state, and bandgap of the active materials are found to be precisely modulated by favorable heteroatom doping, resulting in intrinsically fast kinetics of the electrode materials. Based on the combined mechanisms of intercalation and conversion reactions, electron and K+ ion transfer in Ni-doped CoSe2 embedded in carbon nanocomposites (Ni-CoSe2 @NC) can be significantly enhanced via electronic engineering. Benefiting from the synthetic controlled Ni grains, the heterointerface formed by the intermediate products of electrochemical reactions in Ni-CoSe2 @NC strengthens the conversion kinetics and interdiffusion process, developing a low-barrier mesophase with optimized potassium storage. Overall, an electronic tuning strategy can offer deeper atomic insights into the conversion reaction of TMSs in PIBs.

Hybrid Energy Storage of Ni(OH)2-coated N-doped Graphene Aerogel//N-doped Graphene Aerogel for the Replacement of NiCd and NiMH Batteries.

Project description:Although Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) and Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries have been widely used, their drawbacks including toxic Cd and expensive La alloy at the negative electrodes, low energy density (40-60 Wh/kg for NiCd and 140-300 Wh/L for NiMH), low power density (150 W/kg for NiCd and 1000 W/kg for NiMH), and low working potential (1.2 V) limit their applications. In this work, Cd and La alloy were replaced with N-doped reduced graphene oxide aerogel (N-rGOae) providing a hybrid energy storage (HES) having the battery and supercapacitor effects. The HES of Ni(OH)2-coated N-rGOae//N-rGOae provides 1.5 V, a specific energy of 146 Wh/kg, a maximum specific power of 7705 W/kg, and high capacity retention over 84.6% after 5000 cycles. The mass change at the positive electrode during charging/discharging is 8.5 µg cm-2 owing to the insertion/desertion of solvated OH- into the α-Ni(OH)2-coated N-rGOae. At the negative electrode, the mass change of the solvated K+, physically adsorbed/desorbed to the N-rGOae, is 7.5 μg cm-2. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) shows highly reversible redox reaction of α-Ni(OH)2. The as-fabricated device without using toxic Cd and expensive La alloy has a potential as a candidate of NiCd and NiMH.

Exploration of Long-Life Pt/Heteroatom-Doped Graphene Catalysts in Hydrogen Atmosphere.

Project description:We investigated the H and H2 adsorption effects on the stability of a Pt atom on various heteroatom-doped graphene supports using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. We show that H and H2 adsorptions on the Pt atom weaken the interaction between the Pt atom and graphene support and decrease the adsorption energy of Pt atoms. H2 adsorption on Pt atoms decreases the adsorption energy of Pt atoms on all graphene supports by more than 30%, whereas H adsorption only affects pristine, O-, and S-doped graphene. These results indicate that the hydrogen atmosphere enhances the detachment of Pt catalysts. However, the B-, O-, Si-, P-doped, and monovacant graphene still maintained large adsorption energies of PtH and PtH2 of more than 1.5 eV. In addition, the diffusion barriers of PtH and PtH2 on pristine graphene were calculated to be less than 0.07 eV, which further demonstrated that H and H2 enhance the degradation of Pt catalysts. Even after H and H2 adsorptions on a Pt atom, O-, Si-, P-doped, and monovacant graphene still maintained large diffusion barriers of more than 1 eV. Therefore, we concluded that O-, Si-, and P-doped graphene are suitable supports for Pt catalysts in a hydrogen atmosphere.

CoSe2 Nanoparticles Encapsulated by N-Doped Carbon Framework Intertwined with Carbon Nanotubes: High-Performance Dual-Role Anode Materials for Both Li- and Na-Ion Batteries.

Project description:It is of fundamental and technological significance to develop dual-role anode materials for both lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with high performance. Here, a composite material based on CoSe2 nanoparticles encapsulated in N-doped carbon framework intertwined with carbon nanotubes (CoSe2@N-CF/CNTs) is prepared successfully from cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67). As anode materials for LIBs, CoSe2@N-CF/CNTs composites deliver a reversible capacity of 428 mAh g-1 even after 500 cycles at a current density of 1 A g-1 with almost 100% Coulombic efficiency. The charge and discharge mechanisms of CoSe2 are characterized using ex situ X-ray diffraction and Raman analysis, from which the lithiation products of CoSe2 are found to be Li x CoSe2 and Li2Se, which are further converted to CoSe2 upon delithiation. The CoSe2@N-CF/CNTs composites also demonstrate excellent electrochemical performance as anode materials for SIBs with a carbonate-based electrolyte, with specific capacities of 606 and 501 mAh g-1 at 0.1 and 1 A g-1 in the 100th cycle. The electrochemical performance of the anode materials is further studied by pseudocapacitance and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) measurements. This work may be exploited for the rational design and development of dual-role anode materials for both Li- and Na-ion batteries.

Towards High Capacity Li-ion Batteries Based on Silicon-Graphene Composite Anodes and Sub-micron V-doped LiFePO4 Cathodes.

Project description:Lithium iron phosphate, LiFePO4 (LFP) has demonstrated promising performance as a cathode material in lithium ion batteries (LIBs), by overcoming the rate performance issues from limited electronic conductivity. Nano-sized vanadium-doped LFP (V-LFP) was synthesized using a continuous hydrothermal process using supercritical water as a reagent. The atomic % of dopant determined the particle shape. 5 at. % gave mixed plate and rod-like morphology, showing optimal electrochemical performance and good rate properties vs. Li. Specific capacities of >160?mAh g-1 were achieved. In order to increase the capacity of a full cell, V-LFP was cycled against an inexpensive micron-sized metallurgical grade Si-containing anode. This electrode was capable of reversible capacities of approximately 2000?mAh g-1 for over 150 cycles vs. Li, with improved performance resulting from the incorporation of few layer graphene (FLG) to enhance conductivity, tensile behaviour and thus, the composite stability. The cathode material synthesis and electrode formulation are scalable, inexpensive and are suitable for the fabrication of larger format cells suited to grid and transport applications.

Reduced Graphene Oxide-Coated Separator to Activate Dead Potassium for Efficient Potassium Batteries.

Project description:Potassium (K) metal batteries (KMBs) have the advantages of relatively low electric potential (-2.93 V), high specific capacity (687 mAh g-1), and low cost, which are highly appealing to manufacturers of portable electric products and vehicles. However, the large amounts of "dead K" caused by K dendrite growth and volumetric expansion can cause severe K metal anode deactivation. Here, a thin layer of conductive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was coated on a GF separator (rGO@GF) to activate the generated dead K. Compared with the batteries adopting an original separator, those adopting a modified separator have significantly improved specific capacity and cycling stability. The life of full-cell of KMBs combining an rGO@GF separator with synthesized K0.51V2O5 is expected to exceed 400 cycles, with an initial capacity of 92 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and an attenuation rate per cycle as low as 0.03%. Our work demonstrates that a composite separator of high conductivity is beneficial for high performance KMBs.

Synergistic effect on the visible light activity of Ti3+ doped TiO2 nanorods/boron doped graphene composite.

Project description:TiO2/graphene (TiO2-x/GR) composites, which are Ti(3+) self-doped TiO2 nanorods decorated on boron doped graphene sheets, were synthesized via a simple one-step hydrothermal method using low-cost NaBH4 as both a reducing agent and a boron dopant on graphene. The resulting TiO2 nanorods were about 200 nm in length with exposed (100) and (010) facets. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Raman, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The XRD results suggest that the prepared samples have an anatase crystalline structure. All of the composites tested exhibited improved photocatalytic activities as measured by the degradation of methylene blue and phenol under visible light irradiation. This improvement was attributed to the synergistic effect of Ti(3+) self-doping on TiO2 nanorods and boron doping on graphene.
