Manipulating Interfacial Stability Via Absorption-Competition Mechanism for Long-Lifespan Zn Anode.

ABSTRACT: The stability of Zn anode in various Zn-based energy storage devices is the key problem to be solved. Herein, aromatic aldehyde additives are selected to modulate the interface reactions between the Zn anode and electrolyte. Through comprehensively considering electrochemical measurements, DFT calculations and FEA simulations, novel mechanisms of one kind of aromatic aldehyde, veratraldehyde in inhibiting Zn dendrite/by-products can be obtained. This additive prefers to absorb on the Zn surface than H2O molecules and Zn2+, while competes with hydrogen evolution reaction and Zn plating/stripping process via redox reactions, thus preventing the decomposition of active H2O near the interface and uncontrollable Zn dendrite growth via a synactic absorption-competition mechanism. As a result, Zn-Zn symmetric cells with the veratraldehyde additive realize an excellent cycling life of 3200 h under 1 mA cm-2/1 mAh cm-2 and over 800 h even under 5 mA cm-2/5 mAh cm-2. Moreover, Zn-Ti and Zn-MnO2 cells with the veratraldehyde additive both obtain elevated performance than that with pure ZnSO4 electrolyte. Finally, two more aromatic aldehyde additives are chosen to prove their universality in stabilizing Zn anodes.

High-Capacity and Long-Lifespan Aqueous LiV3O8/Zn Battery Using Zn/Li Hybrid Electrolyte.

Project description:Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage because of their low cost and high safety. However, their practical applications are impeded by low energy density and short service life. Here, an aqueous Zn2+/Li+ hybrid-ion battery is fabricated using the LiV3O8 nanorods as the cathode, metallic Zn as the anode, and 3 M Zn(OTf)2 + 0.5 M LiOTf aqueous solution as the electrolyte. Compared with the batteries using pure 3 M Zn(OTf)2 electrolyte, the cycle performance of the hybrid-ion battery is significantly improved. After 4000 cycles at 5 A g1, the remaining capacity is 163.9 mA h g-1 with impressive capacity retention of 87.0%. Ex-situ XRD, ex-situ XPS, and SEM tests demonstrate that the hybrid electrolyte can inhibit the formation of the irreversible Zn3(OH)2V2O7·2H2O by-product and restrict Zn dendrite growth during cycling, thereby improving the cycle performance of the batteries.

Amorphous mesoporous GeO x anode for Na-ion batteries with high capacity and long lifespan.

Project description:It is recently demonstrated that amorphous Ge anode shows higher reversible Na-ion storage capacity (590 mA h g-1) than crystallized Ge anode (369 mA h g-1). Here, amorphous GeO x anode is prepared by a simple wet-chemistry reduction route at room temperature. The obtained amorphous GeO x shows a porous hierarchical architecture, accompanied with a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area of 159 m2 g-1 and an average pore diameter of 14 nm. This unique structure enables the GeO x anode to enhance the Na-ion/electron diffusion rate, and buffer the volume change. As anode for Na-ion battery, high reversible capacity over 400 mA h g-1, fine rate capability with a capacity of 200 mA h g-1 maintained at 3.0 A g-1 and long-term cycling stability with 270 mA h g-1 even over 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 are obtained.

Interface solvation regulation stabilizing the Zn metal anode in aqueous Zn batteries.

Project description:The Zn metal anode experiences dendritic growth and side reactions in aqueous zinc batteries. The regulation of the interface environment would provide efficient modification without largely affecting the aqueous nature of bulk electrolytes. Herein, we show that the ethylene carbonate (EC) additive is able to adsorb on the Zn surface from the ZnSO4 electrolyte. Together with the higher dielectric constant of EC than water, Zn2+ preferentially forms EC-rich solvation structures at the interface even with a low overall EC content of 4%. An inorganic-organic solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) is also generated. Thanks to the increased energy levels of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of EC-rich solvation structures and the stable SEI, side reactions are suppressed and the Zn2+ transference number increases to allow uniform Zn growth. As a result, the cycle life of Zn stripping/plating in symmetric Zn cells extends from 108 h to 1800 h after the addition of 4% EC. Stable cycling for 180 h is realized with 35% depth of discharge in the 4% EC electrolyte, superior to the initial cell failure with EC-free electrolyte. The capacity retention of the Zn//V6O13·H2O full cell with N/P = 1.3 also increases from 51.1% to 80.5% after 500 cycles with the help of EC.

Dynamic Interfacial Stability Confirmed by Microscopic Optical Operando Experiments Enables High-Retention-Rate Anode-Free Na Metal Full Cells.

Project description:Rechargeable alkali metal anodes hold the promise to significantly increase the energy density of current battery technologies. But they are plagued by dendritic growths and solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers that undermine the battery safety and cycle life. Here, a non-porous ingot-type sodium (Na) metal growth with self-modulated shiny-smooth interfaces is reported for the first time. The Na metal anode can be cycled reversibly, without forming whiskers, mosses, gas bubbles, or disconnected metal particles that are usually observed in other studies. The ideal interfacial stability confirmed in the microcapillary cells is the key to enable anode-free Na metal full cells with a capacity retention rate of 99.93% per cycle, superior to available anode-free Na and Li batteries using liquid electrolytes. Contradictory to the common beliefs established around alkali metal anodes, there is no repeated SEI formation on or within the sodium anode, supported by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy elemental depth profile analyses, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy diagnosis, and microscopic imaging.

Porous Zinc Anode Design for Zn-air Chemistry.

Project description:Zinc-air battery has drawn increasing attention from the whole world owing to its large energy capacity, stable working voltage, environmentally friendship, and low price. A special porous Zn with three-dimensional (3D) network frame structure, whose multistage average pore sizes can be tuned from 300 to 8 um, is synthesized in this work. It is found that there is a competition between Zn2+ and NH4+ for their reduction on the supports. And the decrease of Zn2+ concentration and increase of NH4+ concentration can facilitate the decrease of pore size. Potential-dynamic polarization was tested with 3-electrodes cell, aiming to characterize the electrochemical activity and corrosion properties of porous Zn and commercial Zn foil electrodes. After optimization, the porous Zn prepared with the parameters of 3 M NaBr, 1 M C2H3O2NH4, and 0.01 M C4H6O4Zn shows the most negative corrosion potential of -1.45 V among all the samples, indicating the remarkable anti-corrosion property. Its discharge specific capacity is up to 812 mAh g-1. And discharge-charge test of the porous Zn shows an initial discharge platform of 1.33 V and an initial charge platform of 1.96 V, performing a small overpotential. What's more, the porous Zn exhibits a much longer cycle life than commercial Zn foil. Our work will not only shed light on the design and synthesis of other porous metal materials, but also further promote the development of Zn-based battery electrochemistry.

Manipulating magnetoelectric properties by interfacial coupling in La0.3Sr0.7MnO3/Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 superlattices.

Project description:Artificial superlattices constructed with ferromagnetic La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 layer and ferroelectric Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 layer were designed and fabricated on SrTiO3 substrates. An epitaxial growth with sharp interfaces between La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 and Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 layers was confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. An unambiguous charge transfer involving an electron transferring from the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 layers to Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 layers (Mn3+?Mn4+; Ti4+?Ti3+) across the interface were resolved by electron energy loss spectra analysis. These observations are attributed to the possible modification in the stereochemistry of the Ti and Mn ions in the interfacial region. The out-of-plane lattice parameter, Curie temperature, and magnetoresistance are strongly affected by the thicknesses of the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 and Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 layers. Huge magnetoresistance subsisting to low temperature was also observed in the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 superlattices. All spectral changes identified at a nanometer scale and their potential effect on the degradation of magnetic and transport properties at a macroscopic level. These findings highlight the importance of dependence on sublayer thickness, illustrating the high degree of tenability in these artificially low-dimensional oxide materials.

A Lignin-Based Carbon Anode with Long-Cycle Stability for Li-Ion Batteries

Project description:Due to its wide source and low cost, biomass-based hard carbon is considered a valuable anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Lignins, as the second most abundant source in nature, are being intensively studied as candidate anode materials for next generation LIBs. However, direct carbonization of pure lignin usually leads to low specific surface area and porosity. In this paper, we design a porous carbon material from natural lignin assisted by sacrificing a metal–organic framework (MOF) as the template. The MOF nanoparticles can disperse the lignin particles uniformly and form abundant mesopores in the composites to offer fast transfer channels for Li+. The as-prepared carbon anode shows a high specific capacity of 420 mAh g−1 with the capacity retention of 99% after 300 cycles at 0.2 A g−1. Additionally, it keeps the capacity retention of 85% after long cycle of 1000 cycles, indicating the good application value of the designed anode in LIBs. The work provides a renewable and low-cost candidate anode and a feasible design strategy of the anode materials for LIBs.

Construction of Microporous Zincophilic Interface for Stable Zn Anode.

Project description:Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising electrochemical energy storage devices due to their high theoretical specific capacity, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, uncontrolled dendrite growth poses a serious threat to the reversibility of Zn plating/stripping, which impacts the stability of batteries. Therefore, controlling the disordered dendrite growth remains a considerable challenge in the development of AZIBs. Herein, a ZIF-8-derived ZnO/C/N composite (ZOCC) interface layer was constructed on the surface of the Zn anode. The homogeneous distribution of zincophilic ZnO and the N element in the ZOCC facilitates directional Zn deposition on the (002) crystal plane. Moreover, the conductive skeleton with a microporous structure accelerates Zn2+ transport kinetics, resulting in a reduction in polarization. As a result, the stability and electrochemical properties of AZIBs are improved. Specifically, the ZOCC@Zn symmetric cell sustains over 1150 h at 0.5 mA cm-2 with 0.25 mA h cm-2, while the ZOCC@Zn half-cell achieves an outstanding Coulombic efficiency of 99.79% over 2000 cycles. This work provides a simple and effective strategy for improving the lifespan of AZIBs.
