Sb₂S₃-based conversion-alloying dual mechanism anode for potassium-ion batteries.

ABSTRACT: The large volume expansion and sluggish dynamic behavior are the key bottleneck to suppress the development of conversion-alloying dual mechanism anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Herein, Sb₂S₃ nanorods encapsulated by reduced graphene oxide and nitrogen-doped carbon (Sb₂S₃@rGO@NC) are constructed as anodes for PIBs. The synergistic effect of dual physical protection and robust C-Sb chemical bonding boosts superior electrochemical kinetics and great electrode stability. Thus, Sb₂S₃@rGO@NC exhibits a high initial charge capacity of 505.6 mAh·g^-1 at 50 mA·g^-1 and a great cycle stability with the lifetime over 200 cycles at 200 mA·g^-1. Ex situ XRD, XPS, and TEM characterizations confirm that the electrode undergoes a multielectron transfer process (Sb₂S₃↔ Sb + K₂S ↔ KSb + K₃Sb), where K-ion insert into/extract from the material via dual mechanisms of conversion and alloying. This work sheds a light on the construction of high-performance anode materials and the understanding of K-ion storage mechanism.

Nature of Bimetallic Oxide Sb2MoO6/rGO Anode for High-Performance Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are one of the most appealing alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, particularly attractive in large-scale energy storage devices considering the more sufficient and lower cost supply of potassium resources in comparison with lithium. To achieve more competitive KIBs, it is necessary to search for anode materials with a high performance. Herein, the bimetallic oxide Sb2MoO6, with the presence of reduced graphene oxide, is reported as a high-performance anode material for KIBs in this study, achieving discharge capacities as high as 402 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and 381 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1, and reserving a capacity of 247 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 500 mA g-1. Meanwhile, the potassiation/depotassiation mechanism of this material is probed in-depth through the electrochemical characterization, operando X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, and density functional theory calculation, successfully unraveling the nature of the high-performance anode and the functions of Sb and Mo in Sb2MoO6. More importantly, the phase development and bond breaking sequence of Sb2MoO6 are successfully identified, which is meaningful for the fundamental study of metal-oxide based electrode materials for KIBs.

Electrochemical Alloying of Lead in Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The electrochemical alloying of lead-based electrodes with potassium was investigated by galvanostatic measurements as well as by ex situ and operando X-ray diffraction. The electrochemical reduction must be activated by an initial high current pulse which prevents the passivation of the lead electrode. The alloying process leads to the formation of crystalline KPb. During the discharge, two intermediate phases are observed, K10Pb48 and K4Pb9, whereas only K4Pb9 seems to form during the charge. High capacity retention is observed, with, however, a limited specific capacity value because of high weight of lead.

N/O Dual-Doped Environment-Friendly Hard Carbon as Advanced Anode for Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are considered as promising candidates for lithium-ion batteries due to the abundant reserve and lower cost of K resources. However, K+ exhibits a larger radius than that of Li+, which may impede the intercalation of K+ into the electrode, thus resulting in poor cycling stability of PIBs. Here, an N/O dual-doped hard carbon (NOHC) is constructed by carbonizing the renewable piths of sorghum stalks. As a PIB anode, NOHC presents a high reversible capacity (304.6 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles) and superior cycling stability (189.5 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 5000 cycles). The impressive electrochemical performances can be ascribed to the super-stable porous structure, expanded interlayer space, and N/O dual-doping. More importantly, the NOHC can be prepared in large scale in a concise way, showing great potential for commercialization applications. This work may impel the development of low-cost and sustainable carbon-based materials for PIBs and other advanced energy storage devices.

Template-Free Synthesis of Sb2S3 Hollow Microspheres as Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion and Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Hierarchical Sb2S3 hollow microspheres assembled by nanowires have been successfully synthesized by a simple and practical hydrothermal reaction. The possible formation process of this architecture was investigated by X-ray diffraction, focused-ion beam-scanning electron microscopy dual-beam system, and transmission electron microscopy. When used as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries, Sb2S3 hollow microspheres manifest excellent rate property and enhanced lithium-storage capability and can deliver a discharge capacity of 674 mAh g-1 at a current density of 200 mA g-1 after 50 cycles. Even at a high current density of 5000 mA g-1, a discharge capacity of 541 mAh g-1 is achieved. Sb2S3 hollow microspheres also display a prominent sodium-storage capacity and maintain a reversible discharge capacity of 384 mAh g-1 at a current density of 200 mA g-1 after 50 cycles. The remarkable lithium/sodium-storage property may be attributed to the synergetic effect of its nanometer size and three-dimensional hierarchical architecture, and the outstanding stability property is attributed to the sufficient interior void space, which can buffer the volume expansion.

Core@shell Sb@Sb2O3 nanoparticles anchored on 3D nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets as advanced anode materials for Li-ion batteries.

Project description:Antimony (Sb) based materials are regarded as promising anode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) because of the high capacity, appropriate working potential, and earth abundance of antimony. However, the quick capacity decay due to the huge volume expansion during the cycling process seriously hinders its practical applications. Here, a nanocomposite of core@shell Sb@Sb2O3 particles anchored on 3D porous nitrogen-doped carbon (3DNC) nanosheets is synthesized by freeze drying and sintering in a reducing atmosphere. Structural characterization shows that the developed Sb@Sb2O3/3DNC electrode has a high surface area (839.8 m2 g-1) and unique Sb-O-C bonding, both contributing to the excellent electrochemical performance. The initial charge and discharge specific capacities of the Sb@ Sb2O3/3DNC anode in LIB tests are 1109 mA h g-1 and 1810 mA h g-1, respectively. Also, it shows a charge capacity of 696.9 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1 and 458 mA h g-1 at a current density of 5 A g-1. Moreover, the assembled Sb@Sb2O3/3DNC‖LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 battery exhibits a discharge capacity of more than 100 mA h g-1 after 25 cycles at 100 mA g-1. The synthetic method can be extended to obtain other nanocomposites of metal and carbon materials for high-performance energy storage devices.

Pyrrhotite Fe1-x S microcubes as a new anode material in potassium-ion batteries.

Project description:Potassium-ion batteries are an emerging energy storage technology that could be a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to the abundance and low cost of potassium. Research on potassium-ion batteries has received considerable attention in recent years. With the progress that has been made, it is important yet challenging to discover electrode materials for potassium-ion batteries. Here, we report pyrrhotite Fe1-x S microcubes as a new anode material for this exciting energy storage technology. The anode delivers a reversible capacity of 418 mAh g-1 with an initial coulombic efficiency of ~70% at 50 mA g-1 and a great rate capability of 123 mAh g-1 at 6 A g-1 as well as good cyclability. Our analysis shows the structural stability of the anode after cycling and reveals surface-dominated K storage at high rates. These merits contribute to the obtained electrochemical performance. Our work may lead to a new class of anode materials based on sulfide chemistry for potassium storage and shed light on the development of new electrochemically active materials for ion storage in a wider range of energy applications.

Carbon Dots@rGO Paper as Freestanding and Flexible Potassium-Ion Batteries Anode.

Project description:Carbonaceous materials, especially with graphite-layers structure, as anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), are the footstone for industrialization of PIBs. However, carbonaceous materials with graphite-layers structure usually suffer from poor cycle life and inferior stability, not to mention freestanding and flexible PIBs. Here, a freestanding and flexible 3D hybrid architecture by introducing carbon dots on the reduced graphene oxide surface (CDs@rGO) is synthesized as high performance PIBs anode. The CDs@rGO paper has efficient electron and ion transfer channels due to its unique structure, thus enhancing reaction kinetics. In addition, the CDs provide abundant defects and oxygen-containing functional groups, which can improve the electrochemical performance. This freestanding and flexible anode exhibits the high capacity of 310 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1, ultra-long cycle life (840 cycles with a capacity of 244 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1), and excellent rate performance (undergo six consecutive currents changing from 100 to 500 mA g-1, high capacity 185 mAh g-1 at 500 mA g-1), outperforming many existing carbonaceous PIB anodes. The results may provide a starting point for high-performance freestanding and flexible PIBs and promote the rapid development of next-generation flexible batteries.

Reaction Mechanism of the Sn2Fe Anode in Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Sn2Fe anode materials were synthesized by a solvothermal route, and their electrochemical performance and reaction mechanism were evaluated. The structural evolution in the first two lithium cycles was investigated by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD), and magnetic studies. In the first cycle, progressive alloying of Sn with Li accompanied by metallic iron displacement occurs upon lithiation, and the delithiation proceeds by Li x Sn dealloying and recovery of the Sn2Fe phase. In the second cycle, both XRD and XAS identify Li-Sn alloying at earlier lithiation stages than in the first cycle, with low-Li-content alloys evident in the beginning of the lithiation process. In the fully lithiated state, XAS analysis reveals higher coordination numbers in both the Li x Sn and Fe phases, which points toward more complete reaction and higher crystallinity of the products. Upon second delithiation, the Sn2Fe phase is generally reformed as evidenced by XRD. However, XAS indicates somewhat reduced Sn-Fe coordination and shorter Fe-Fe distance, which indicates incomplete reconversion and metallic Fe retention, which is also evident in the magnetic studies. Thus, a combination of long-range (XRD, magnetic) and local (XAS) techniques has revealed differences between the first and the second Li cycles relevant to the understanding of the capacity fading mechanisms.

Magneli Phase Titanium Oxide as a Novel Anode Material for Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Recently, K-ion batteries (KIBs) have attracted attention for potential applications in next-generation energy storage devices principally on the account of their abundancy and lower cost. Herein, for the first time, we report an anatase TiO2-derived Magnéli phase Ti6O11 as a novel anode material for KIBs. We incorporate pristine carbon nanotube (CNT) on the TiO2 host materials due to the low electronic conductivity of the host materials. TiO2 transformed to Magnéli phase Ti6O11 after the first insertion/deinsertion of K ions. From the second cycle, Magnéli phase Ti6O11/CNT composite showed reversible charge/discharge profiles with ∼150 mA h g-1 at 0.05 A g-1. Ex situ X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses revealed that the charge storage process of Magnéli phase Ti6O11 proceeded via the conversion reaction during potassium ion insertion/deinsertion. The Magnéli phase Ti6O11/CNT composite electrode showed long-term cycling life over 500 cycles at 200 mA g-1, exhibiting a capacity retention of 76% and a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.9%. These salient results presented here provide a novel understanding of the K-ion storage mechanisms in the extensively investigated oxide-based material for Li-ion batteries and Na-ion batteries, shedding light on the development of promising electrode materials for next-generation batteries.

Potassium ion pre-intercalated MnO2 for aqueous multivalent ion batteries.

Project description:Manganese dioxide (MnO2), as a cathode material for multivalent ion (such as Mg2+ and Al3+) storage, is investigated due to its high initial capacity. However, during multivalent ion insertion/extraction, the crystal structure of MnO2 partially collapses, leading to fast capacity decay in few charge/discharge cycles. Here, through pre-intercalating potassium-ion (K+) into δ-MnO2, we synthesize a potassium ion pre-intercalated MnO2, K0.21MnO2·0.31H2O (KMO), as a reliable cathode material for multivalent ion batteries. The as-prepared KMO exhibits a high reversible capacity of 185 mAh/g at 1 A/g, with considerable rate performance and improved cycling stability in 1 mol/L MgSO4 electrolyte. In addition, we observe that aluminum-ion (Al3+) can also insert into a KMO cathode. This work provides a valid method for modification of manganese-based oxides for aqueous multivalent ion batteries.
