In Situ Monitoring the Potassium-Ion Storage Enhancement in Iron Selenide with Ether-Based Electrolyte.

ABSTRACT: As one of the promising anode materials, iron selenide has received much attention for potassium-ion batteries (KIBs). Nevertheless, volume expansion and sluggish kinetics of iron selenide result in the poor reversibility and stability during potassiation-depotassiation process. In this work, we develop iron selenide composite matching ether-based electrolyte for KIBs, which presents a reversible specific capacity of 356 mAh g^-1 at 200 mA g^-1 after 75 cycles. According to the measurement of mechanical properties, it is found that iron selenide composite also exhibits robust and elastic solid electrolyte interphase layer in ether-based electrolyte, contributing to the improvement in reversibility and stability for KIBs. To further investigate the electrochemical enhancement mechanism of ether-based electrolyte in KIBs, we also utilize in situ visualization technique to monitor the potassiation-depotassiation process. For comparison, iron selenide composite matching carbonate-based electrolyte presents vast morphology change during potassiation-depotassiation process. When changing to ether-based electrolyte, a few minor morphology changes can be observed. This phenomenon indicates an occurrence of homogeneous electrochemical reaction in ether-based electrolyte, which results in a stable performance for potassium-ion (K-ion) storage. We believe that our work will provide a new perspective to visually monitor the potassium-ion storage process and guide the improvement in electrode material performance.

Carbon-Coated Three-Dimensional MXene/Iron Selenide Ball with Core-Shell Structure for High-Performance Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) MXenes are promising as electrode materials for energy storage, owing to their high electronic conductivity and low diffusion barrier. Unfortunately, similar to most 2D materials, MXene nanosheets easily restack during the electrode preparation, which degrades the electrochemical performance of MXene-based materials. A novel synthetic strategy is proposed for converting MXene into restacking-inhibited three-dimensional (3D) balls coated with iron selenides and carbon. This strategy involves the preparation of Fe2O3@carbon/MXene microspheres via a facile ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and subsequent selenization process. Such 3D structuring effectively prevents interlayer restacking, increases the surface area, and accelerates ion transport, while maintaining the attractive properties of MXene. Furthermore, combining iron selenides and carbon with 3D MXene balls offers many more sites for ion storage and enhances the structural robustness of the composite balls. The resultant 3D structured microspheres exhibit a high reversible capacity of 410 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.1 A g-1 in potassium-ion batteries, corresponding to the capacity retention of 97% as calculated based on 100 cycles. Even at a high current density of 5.0 A g-1, the composite exhibits a discharge capacity of 169 mAh g-1.

Revisit Electrolyte Chemistry of Hard Carbon in Ether for Na Storage.

Project description:Hard carbons (HCs) as an anode material in sodium ion batteries present enhanced electrochemical performances in ether-based electrolytes, giving them potential for use in practical applications. However, the underlying mechanism behind the excellent performances is still in question. Here, ex situ nuclear magnetic resonance, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to clarify the insightful chemistry of ether- and ester-based electrolytes in terms of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) on hard carbons. The results confirm the marked electrolyte decomposition and the formation of a SEI film in EC/DEC but no SEI film in the case of diglyme. In situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance and molecular dynamics support that ether molecules have likely been co-intercalated into hard carbons. To our knowledge, these results are reported for the first time. It might be very useful for the rational design of advanced electrode materials based on HCs in the future.

Elastic MXene conductive layers and electrolyte engineering enable robust potassium storage.

Project description:The precisely engineered structures of materials greatly influence the manifestation of their properties. For example, in the process of alkali metal ion storage, a carefully designed structure capable of accommodating inserted and extracted ions will improve the stability of material cycling. The present study explores the uniform distribution of self-grown carbon nanotubes to provide structural support for the conductive and elastic MXene layers of Ti3C2Tx-Co@NCNTs. Furthermore, a compatible electrolyte system has been optimized by analyzing the solvation structure and carefully regulating the component in the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the decomposition predominantly controlled by FSI- leads to the formation of a robust inorganic SEI layer enriched with KF, thus effectively inhibiting irreversible side reactions and major structural deterioration. Confirming our expectations, Ti3C2Tx-Co@NCNTs exhibits an impressive reversible capacity of 260 mA h g-1, even after 2000 cycles at 500 mA g-1 in 1 M KFSI (DME), surpassing most MXene-based anodes reported for PIBs. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations verify the superior electronic conductivity and lower K+ diffusion energy barriers of the novel superstructure of Ti3C2Tx-Co@NCNTs, thereby affirming the improved electrochemical kinetics. This study presents systematic evaluation methodologies for future research on MXene-based anodes in PIBs.

Enhanced Lithium Ion Storage Performance of Tannic Acid in LiTFSI Electrolyte.

Project description:In this article, tannic acid (TA), as an earth-abundant natural polymer, has been creatively proposed as a desirable organic anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Most importantly, it has been observed that the substitution of different concentrations of lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) for lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) can significantly restrain the dissolution of TA. This fact implies that LiTFSI, especially at high concentrations, is beneficial to accelerate electrochemical kinetics, enlarge the specific capacity, improve the rate performance, and prolong the cycling life for organic LIBs.

Dual Strategies of Metal Preintercalation and In Situ Electrochemical Oxidization Operating on MXene for Enhancement of Ion/Electron Transfer and Zinc-Ion Storage Capacity in Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries.

Project description:As an emerging two-dimensional material, MXenes exhibit enormous potentials in the fields of energy storage and conversion, due to their superior conductivity, effective surface chemistry, accordion-like layered structure, and numerous ordered nanochannels. However, interlayer accumulation and chemical sluggishness of structural elements have hampered the demonstration of the superiorities of MXenes. By metal preintercalation and in situ electrochemical oxidization strategies on V2 CTx , MXene has enlarged its interplanar spacing and excited the outermost vanadium atoms to achieve frequent transfer and high storage capacity of Zn ions in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Benefiting from the synergistic effects of these strategies, the resulting VOx /Mn-V2 C electrode exhibits the high capacity of 530 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 , together with a remarkable energy density of 415 W h kg-1 and a power density of 5500 W kg-1 . Impressively, the electrode delivers excellent cycling stability with Coulombic efficiency of nearly 100% in 2000 cycles at 5 A g-1 . The satisfactory electrochemical performances bear comparison with those in reported vanadium-based and MXene-based aqueous ZIBs. This work provides a new methodology for safe preparation of outstanding vanadium-based electrodes and extends the applications of MXenes in the energy storage field.

Approaching the voltage and energy density limits of potassium-selenium battery chemistry in a concentrated ether-based electrolyte.

Project description:Potassium-selenium (K-Se) batteries offer fairly high theoretical voltage (∼1.88 V) and energy density (∼1275 W h kgSe -1). However, in practice, their operation voltage is so far limited to ∼1.4 V, resulting in insufficient energy utilization and mechanistic understanding. Here, it is demonstrated for the first time that K-Se batteries operating in concentrated ether-based electrolytes follow distinctive reaction pathways involving reversible stepwise conversion reactions from Se to K2Se x (x = 5, 3, 2, 1). The presence of redox intermediates K2Se5 at ∼2.3 V and K2Se3 at ∼2.1 V, in contrast with previous reports, enables record-high average discharge plateau voltage (1.85 V) and energy density (998 W h kgSe -1 or 502 W h kgK2Se -1), both approaching the theoretical limits and surpassing those of previously reported Na/K/Al-Se batteries. Moreover, experimental analysis and first-principles calculations reveal that the effective suppression of detrimental polyselenide dissolution/shuttling in concentrated electrolytes, together with high electron conductibility of Se/K2Se x , enables fast reaction kinetics, efficient utilization of Se, and long-term cyclability of up to 350 cycles, which are impracticable in either K-S counterparts or K-Se batteries with low/moderate-concentration electrolytes. This work may pave the way for mechanistic understanding and full energy utilization of K-Se battery chemistry.

In Situ Study of Strain-Dependent Ion Conductivity of Stretchable Polyethylene Oxide Electrolyte.

Project description:There is a strong need in developing stretchable batteries that can accommodate stretchable or irregularly shaped applications including medical implants, wearable devices and stretchable electronics. Stretchable solid polymer electrolytes are ideal candidates for creating fully stretchable lithium ion batteries mainly due to their mechanical and electrochemical stability, thin-film manufacturability and enhanced safety. However, the characteristics of ion conductivity of polymer electrolytes during tensile deformation are not well understood. Here, we investigate the effects of tensile strain on the ion conductivity of thin-film polyethylene oxide (PEO) through an in situ study. The results of this investigation demonstrate that both in-plane and through-plane ion conductivities of PEO undergo steady and linear growths with respect to the tensile strain. The coefficients of strain-dependent ion conductivity enhancement (CSDICE) for in-plane and through-plane conduction were found to be 28.5 and 27.2, respectively. Tensile stress-strain curves and polarization light microscopy (PLM) of the polymer electrolyte film reveal critical insights on the microstructural transformation of stretched PEO and the potential consequences on ionic conductivity.

Carbon Fibers Embedded With Iron Selenide (Fe 3 Se 4 ) as Anode for High-Performance Sodium and Potassium Ion Batteries.

Project description:The development of sodium and potassium ion batteries (SIBs/KIBs) has seen tremendous growth in recent years due to their promising properties as a potential replacement for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Here, we report ultrafine iron selenide (Fe3Se4) nanoparticles embedded into one-dimensional (1D) carbon fibers (Fe3Se4@CFs) as a potential candidate for SIBs/KIBs. The Fe-based metal-organic framework particles (MOFP) are used as a Fe source to obtain highly dispersed Fe3Se4 nanoparticles in the product. The Fe3Se4@CF consisted of ultrafine particles of Fe3Se4 with an average particle size of ~10 nm loaded into CFs with an average diameter of 300 nm. The product exhibited excellent specific activity of ~439 and ~435 mAh/g at the current density of 50 mA/g for SIBs and KIBs, respectively. In addition, the as-prepared anodes (Fe3Se4@CFs) exhibited excellent capacity retention up to several hundred cycles (700 cycles for SIBs and 300 cycles for KIBs). The high activity and excellent stability of the developed electrodes make Fe3Se4@CFs a promising electrode for next-generation batteries.

Three-dimensional heterogeneity in liquid electrolyte structures promotes Na ion transport and storage performance in Na-ion batteries.

Project description:Unlike solid materials, the molecular structure and chemical distribution in electrolyte solutions have been considered in isotropic states. Herein, we reveal controllable regulation of solution structures in electrolytes by manipulating solvent interactions for Na-ion batteries. Low-solvation fluorocarbons as diluents in concentrated phosphate electrolytes induce adjustable heterogeneity in electrolyte structures through variable intermolecular forces between high-solvation phosphate and diluents. An optimal trifluorotoluene (PhCF3) diluent weakens the solvation strength around Na+ and spontaneously leads to a locally enlarged Na+ concentration and global 3D continuous Na+ transport path thanks to the appropriate electrolyte heterogeneity. Besides, strong correlations between the solvation structure and the Na+ storage performance and interphases are demonstrated. PhCF3 diluted concentrated electrolyte enables superior operations of Na-ion batteries at both room temperature and a high temperature of 60 °C. A hard carbon anode exhibits a reversible capacity of 300 mA h g-1 at 0.2C and excellent life over 1200 cycles without decay.

Synergistic Role of Electrolyte and Binder for Enhanced Electrochemical Storage for Sodium-Ion Battery.

Project description:Sodium-ion batteries are promising futuristic large-scale energy-storage devices because of the abundance and low cost of sodium. However, the development and commercialization of the sodium-ion battery solely depends on the use of high-capacity electrode materials. Among the various metal oxides, SnO2 has a high theoretical specific capacity for sodium-ion battery. However, the enormous volume expansion and low electrical conductivity of SnO2 hinder its capability to reach the predicted theoretical value. Although different nanostructured designs of electrode materials like SnO2 nanocomposites have been studied, the effects of other cell components like electrolyte and binder on the specific capacity and cyclic stability are yet to be understood. In the present study, we have investigated the synergistic effect of electrolyte and binder on the performance enhancement of SnO2 supported on the intertwined network structure of reduced graphene oxide partially open multiwalled carbon nanotube hybrid as anode in sodium-ion battery. Our result shows that sodium carboxyl methyl cellulose and ethylene carbonate/diethyl carbonate as the electrolyte solvent offers a high specific capacity of 688 mAh g-1 and a satisfactory cyclic stability for 500 cycles. This is about 56% enhancement in specific capacity compared to the use of poly(vinylidene fluoride) binder and propylene carbonate as the electrolyte solvent. The present study provides a better understanding of the synergistic role of electrolyte and binder for the development of metal-oxide-based electrode materials for the advancement of the commercialization of sodium-ion battery.
