Surface Phosphorus-Induced CoO Coupling to Monolithic Carbon for Efficient Air Electrode of Quasi-Solid-State Zn-Air Batteries.

ABSTRACT: One challenge facing the development of air electrodes for Zn-air batteries (ZABs) is the embedment of active sites into carbon, which requires cracks and blends between powder and membrane and results in low energy efficiency during manufacturing and utilization. Herein, a surface phosphorization-monolithic strategy is proposed to embed CoO nanoparticles into paulownia carbon plate (P-CoO@PWC) as monolithic electrodes. Benefiting from the retention of natural transport channels, P-CoO@PWC-2 is conducive to the construction of three-phase interface structure for efficient mass transfer and high electrical conductivity. The electrode exhibits remarkable catalytic activities for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with a small overpotential gap (E_OER - E_ORR = 0.68 V). Density functional theory calculations reveal that the incorporation of P on P-CoO@PWC-2 surface adjusts the electronic structure to promote the dissociation of water and the activation of oxygen, thus inducing catalytic activity. The monolithic P-CoO@PWC-2 electrode for quasi-solid-state or aqueous ZABs has excellent specific power, low charge-discharge voltage gap (0.83 V), and long-term cycling stability (over 700 cycles). This work serves as a new avenue for transforming abundant biomass into high-value energy-related engineering products.

Quasi-solid-state Zn-air batteries with an atomically dispersed cobalt electrocatalyst and organohydrogel electrolyte.

Project description:Quasi-solid-state Zn-air batteries are usually limited to relatively low-rate ability (<10 mA cm-2), which is caused in part by sluggish oxygen electrocatalysis and unstable electrochemical interfaces. Here we present a high-rate and robust quasi-solid-state Zn-air battery enabled by atomically dispersed cobalt sites anchored on wrinkled nitrogen doped graphene as the air cathode and a polyacrylamide organohydrogel electrolyte with its hydrogen-bond network modified by the addition of dimethyl sulfoxide. This design enables a cycling current density of 100 mA cm-2 over 50 h at 25 °C. A low-temperature cycling stability of over 300 h (at 0.5 mA cm-2) with over 90% capacity retention at -60 °C and a broad temperature adaptability (-60 to 60 °C) are also demonstrated.

Interface Engineering of CoS/CoO@N-Doped Graphene Nanocomposite for High-Performance Rechargeable Zn-Air Batteries.

Project description:Low cost and green fabrication of high-performance electrocatalysts with earth-abundant resources for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are crucial for the large-scale application of rechargeable Zn-air batteries (ZABs). In this work, our density functional theory calculations on the electrocatalyst suggest that the rational construction of interfacial structure can induce local charge redistribution, improve the electronic conductivity and enhance the catalyst stability. In order to realize such a structure, we spatially immobilize heterogeneous CoS/CoO nanocrystals onto N-doped graphene to synthesize a bifunctional electrocatalyst (CoS/CoO@NGNs). The optimization of the composition, interfacial structure and conductivity of the electrocatalyst is conducted to achieve bifunctional catalytic activity and deliver outstanding efficiency and stability for both ORR and OER. The aqueous ZAB with the as-prepared CoS/CoO@NGNs cathode displays a high maximum power density of 137.8 mW cm-2, a specific capacity of 723.9 mAh g-1 and excellent cycling stability (continuous operating for 100 h) with a high round-trip efficiency. In addition, the assembled quasi-solid-state ZAB also exhibits outstanding mechanical flexibility besides high battery performances, showing great potential for applications in flexible and wearable electronic devices.

Binder-Free 3D Integrated Ni@Ni3Pt Air Electrode for Zn-Air Batteries.

Project description:Developing an air electrode with high efficiency and stable performance is essential to improve the energy conversion efficiency and lifetime of zinc-air battery. Herein, Ni3Pt alloy is deposited on 3D nickel foam by a pulsed laser deposition method, working as a stable binder-free air electrode for rechargeable zinc-air batteries. The polycrystalline Ni3Pt alloy possesses high oxygen-conversion catalytic activity, which is highly desirable for the charge and discharge process in zinc-air battery. Meanwhile, this sample technique constructs an integrated and stable electrode structure, which not only has a 3D architecture of high conductivity and porosity but also produces a uniform Ni3Pt strongly adhering to the substrate, favoring rapid gas and electrolyte diffusion throughout the whole energy conversion process. Employed as an air electrode in zinc-air batteries, it exhibits a small charge and discharge gap of below 0.62 V at 10 mA cm-2, with long cycle life of 478 cycles under 10 min per cycle. Furthermore, benefitting from the structural advantages, a flexible device exhibits similar electrochemical performance even under the bending state. The high performance resulting from this type of integrated electrode in this work paves the way of a promising technique to fabricate air electrodes for zinc-air batteries.

MgH2-CoO: a conversion-type composite electrode for LiBH4-based all-solid-state lithium ion batteries.

Project description:Several studies have demonstrated that MgH2 is a promising conversion-type anode toward Li. A major obstacle is the reversible capacity during cycling. Electrochemical co-existence of a mixed metal hydride-oxide conversion type anode is demonstrated for lithium ion batteries using a solid-state electrolyte. 75MgH2·25CoO anodes are obtained from optimized mixing conditions avoiding reactions occurring during high-energy ball-milling. Electrochemical tests are carried out to investigate the cycling capability and reversibility of the on-going conversion reactions. The cycling led to formation of a single-plateau nanocomposite electrode with higher reversibility yield, lowered discharge-charge hysteresis and mitigated kinetic effect at high C-rate compared to MgH2 anodes. It is believed that reduced diffusion pathways and less polarized electrodes are the origin of the improved properties. The designed composite-electrode shows good preservation and suitability with LiBH4 solid electrolyte as revealed from electron microscopy analyses and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Plastic Monolithic Mixed-Conducting Interlayer for Dendrite-Free Solid-State Batteries.

Project description:Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) hold a critical role in enabling high-energy-density and safe rechargeable batteries with Li metal anode. Unfortunately, nonuniform lithium deposition and dendrite penetration due to poor interfacial solid-solid contact are hindering their practical applications. Here, solid-state lithium naphthalenide (Li-Naph(s)) is introduced as a plastic monolithic mixed-conducting interlayer (PMMCI) between the garnet electrolyte and the Li anode via a facile cold process. The thin PMMCI shows a well-ordered layered crystalline structure with excellent mixed-conducting capability for both Li+ (4.38 × 10-3 S cm-1 ) and delocalized electrons (1.01 × 10-3 S cm-1 ). In contrast to previous composite interlayers, this monolithic material enables an intrinsically homogenous electric field and Li+ transport at the Li/garnet interface, thus significantly reducing the interfacial resistance and achieving uniform and dendrite-free Li anode plating/stripping. As a result, Li symmetric cells with the PMMCI-modified garnet electrolyte show highly stable cycling for 1200 h at 0.2 mA cm-2 and 500 h at a high current density of 1 mA cm-2 . The findings provide a new interface design strategy for solid-state batteries using monolithic mixed-conducting interlayers.

CuCo2S4 Nanosheets@N-Doped Carbon Nanofibers by Sulfurization at Room Temperature as Bifunctional Electrocatalysts in Flexible Quasi-Solid-State Zn-Air Batteries.

Project description:The performance of quasi-solid-state flexible zinc-air batteries (ZABs) is critically dependent on the advancement of air electrodes with outstanding bifunctional electrocatalysis for both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), together with the desired mechanical flexibility and robustness. The currently available synthesis processes for high-efficiency bifunctional bimetallic sulfide electrodes typically require high-temperature hydrothermal or chemical vapor deposition, which is undesirable in terms of the complexity in experimental procedure and the damage of flexibility in the resultant electrode. Herein, a scalable fabrication process is reported by combining electrospinning with in situ sulfurization at room temperature to successfully obtain CuCo2S4 nanosheets@N-doped carbon nanofiber (CuCo2S4 NSs@N-CNFs) films, which show remarkable bifunctional catalytic performance (Ej = 10 (OER) - E 1/2 (ORR) = 0.751 V) with excellent mechanical flexibility. Furthermore, the CuCo2S4 NSs@N-CNFs cathode delivers a high open-circuit potential of 1.46 V, an outstanding specific capacity of 896 mA h g-1, when assembled into a quasi-solid-state flexible ZAB together with Zn NSs@carbon nanotubes (CNTs) film (electrodeposited Zn nanosheets on CNTs film) as the anode. The ZAB also shows a good flexibility and capacity stability with 93.62% capacity retention (bending 1000 cycles from 0° to 180°), making it an excellent power source for portable and wearable electronic devices.

NiCo2O4 nanoarray on CNT sponge: a bifunctional oxygen electrode material for rechargeable Zn-air batteries.

Project description:Ni- and Co-based materials have of late gained prominence over conventional noble metal-based ones as catalysts for energy devices. Here, a high performance catalyst which can facilitate both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was developed by anchoring a NiCo2O4 nanowire array on a carbon nanotube sponge (NCS). The three-dimensional morphology of NCS ensured efficient transport of the reactants and products on the catalyst surface, thereby improving the activity of the material. The prepared catalyst showed remarkable OER activity, requiring an overpotential of 280 mV, which is comparable to that of noble-metal catalysts. In addition to the noteworthy OER performance, the catalyst performed well with respect to the ORR. The total oxygen electrode activity overpotential of the catalyst was found to be 0.83 V, which is lower than that of commercial electrodes such as Pt/C and RuO2. A rechargeable Zn-air battery constructed with NCS had an open circuit voltage of 1.42 V, a maximum power density of 160 mW cm-2, and an energy density of 706 W h kg-1. NCS exhibited bifunctional electrocatalytic activity and high stability for both the OER and ORR, proving to be a good replacement for noble metal electrodes in rechargeable metal-air batteries.

Nonflammable quasi-solid-state electrolyte for stable lithium-metal batteries.

Project description:Rechargeable lithium batteries with high-voltage/capacity cathodes are regarded as promising high-energy-density energy-storage systems. Nevertheless, these systems are restricted by some critical challenges, such as flammable electrolyte, lithium dendrite formation and rapid capacity fade at high voltage and elevated temperature. In this work, we report a quasi-solid-state composite electrolyte (QCE) prepared by in situ polymerization reactions. The electrolyte consists of polymer matrix, inorganic filler, nonflammable plasticizers and Li salt, and shows a good thermal stability, a moderate ionic conductivity of 2.8 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 25 °C, and a wide electrochemical window up to 6.7 V. The batteries with the QCE show good electrochemical performance when coupled with lithium metal anode and LiCoO2 or LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 cathodes. Pouch-type batteries with the QCE also exhibit stable cycling, and can tolerate abuse testes such as folding, cutting and nail penetration. The in situ formed fluorides and phosphides from the plasticizers stabilize the interfaces between the QCE and electrodes, which enables stable cycling of Li metal batteries.

High-Performance Quasi-Solid-State MXene-Based Li-I Batteries.

Project description:Lithium-iodine (Li-I) batteries have attracted tremendous attention due to their high energy and power densities as well as the low cost of iodine. However, the severe shuttle effect of iodine species and the uncontrollable lithium dendrite growth have strongly hindered their practical applications. Here we successfully develop a quasi-solid-state Li-I battery enabled by a MXene-based iodine cathode and a composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) containing NaNO3 particles dispersing in a pentaerythritol-tetraacrylate-based (PETEA-based) gel polymer electrolyte. As verified by experimental characterizations and first-principle calculations, the abundant functional groups on the surface of MXene sheets provide strong chemical binding to iodine species, and therefore immobilize their shuttling. The PETEA-based polymer matrix simultaneously suppresses the diffusion of iodine species and stabilizes the Li anode/CPE interface against dendrite growth. The NaNO3 particles act as an effective catalyst to facilitate the transformation kinetics of LiI3 on the cathode. Owing to such synergistic optimization, the as-developed Li-I batteries deliver high energy/power density with long cycling stability and good flexibility. This work opens up a new avenue to improve the performance of Li-I batteries.
