Hard carbon spheres prepared by a modified Stober method as anode material for high-performance potassium-ion batteries.

ABSTRACT: The Stöber method is a highly efficient synthesis strategy for homogeneous monodisperse polymer colloidal spheres and carbon spheres. This work delivers an extended Stöber method and investigates the synthesis process. By calcining the precursor under appropriate conditions, solid secondary particles of amorphous carbon (SSAC) and hollow secondary particles of graphitized carbon (HSGC) can be directly synthesized. The two materials have a nano-primary particle structure and a closely-packed sub-micron secondary particle structure, which can be used in energy storage. We find that SSAC and HSGC have high potassium-ion storage capacity with reversible capacities of 274 mA h g^-1 and 283 mA h g^-1 at 20 mA g^-1 respectively. Significantly, SSAC has better rate performance with a specific capacity of 107 mA h g^-1 at 1 A g^-1.

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.

Micro-nano structure hard carbon as a high performance anode material for sodium-ion batteries.

Project description:Superior first-cycle Coulomb efficiency (above 80%) is displayed by filter paper-derived micro-nano structure hard carbon, and it delivers a high reversible capacity of 286 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles as the anode for Na-ion battery at 20 mA g-1. These advantageous performance characteristics are attributed to the unique micro-nano structure, which reduced the first irreversible capacity loss by limiting the contact between the electrode and electrolyte, and enhanced the capacity by accelerating electron and Na-ion transfer through inter-connected nano-particles and nano-pores, respectively. The good electrochemical performance indicates that this low-cost hard carbon could be a promising anode for Na-ion batteries.

Insight into a Nitrogen-Doping Mechanism in a Hard-Carbon-Microsphere Anode Material for the Long-Term Cycling of Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:To investigate the alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, potassium-ion batteries have attracted considerable interest due to the cost-efficiency of potassium resources and the relatively lower standard redox potential of K+/K. Among various alternative anode materials, hard carbon has the advantages of extensive resources, low cost, and environmental protection. In the present study, we synthesize a nitrogen-doping hard-carbon-microsphere (N-SHC) material as an anode for potassium-ion batteries. N-SHC delivers a high reversible capacity of 248 mAh g-1 and a promoted rate performance (93 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1). Additionally, the nitrogen-doping N-SHC material also exhibits superior cycling long-term stability, where the N-SHC electrode maintains a high reversible capacity at 200 mAh g-1 with a capacity retention of 81% after 600 cycles. DFT calculations assess the change in K ions' absorption energy and diffusion barriers at different N-doping effects. Compared with an original hard-carbon material, pyridinic-N and pyrrolic-N defects introduced by N-doping display a positive effect on both K ions' absorption and diffusion.

Ultra-Thin Wrinkled Carbon Sheet as an Anode Material of High-Power-Density Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Although K+ is readily inserted into graphite, the volume expansion of graphite of up to 60% upon the formation of KC8, together with its slow diffusion kinetics, prevent graphite from being used as an anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Soft carbon with low crystallinity and an incompact carbon structure can overcome these shortcomings of graphite. Here, ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) wrinkled soft carbon sheets (USCs) are demonstrated to have high specific capacity, excellent rate capability, and outstanding reversibility. The wrinkles themselves prevent the dense stacking of micron-sized sheets and provide sufficient space to accommodate the volume change of USCs during the insertion/extraction of K+. The ultra-thin property reduces strain during the formation of K-C compounds, and further maintains structural stability. The wrinkles and heteroatoms also introduce abundant edge defects that can provide more active sites and shorten the K+ migration distance, improving reaction kinetics. The optimized USC20-1 electrode exhibits a reversible capacity of 151 mAh g-1 even at 6400 mA g-1, and excellent cyclic stability up to 2500 cycles at 1000 mA g-1. Such comprehensive electrochemical performance will accelerate the adoption of PIBs in electrical energy applications.

Spherical hard carbon/graphite anode for high performance lithium ion batteries.

Project description:The issue of long charging time for electric vehicles has been a matter of serious concern, and the problem is mainly stemmed from the graphite anode. The slow kinetics of pure graphite can lead to the formation of the lithium metal during fast charging, which triggers cycle degradation and safety issues of electric vehicles. In order to ameliorate the fast charging issue, a spherical hard carbon/graphite porous electrode is devised. Based on this, the discharge capacity ratio at 3C shows an improvement of about 40% at 25°C and at 1C shows an improvement of about 18% at 0°C. Additionally, the 300-cycle capacity retentions exhibit increases of 12% and 14% at temperature of 25°C and 50°C, respectively. Generally, the analysis shows that the spherical hard carbon/graphite porous electrode has more uniform porous structure, shorter transport path, less nano-scale powder and a certain voltage buffer ability compared to the pure graphite powder system, which enhance the ion transport kinetics, and reduce the side reactions under the high temperature, so as to effectively improve the fast charging performance and cycle life of the LIBs. It is also proved that the kinetics improvement is not only attributed to the high kinetics inherited from the instinct of hard carbon, but also the porous electrode structures constructed by the two-size powder system of graphite and hard carbon.

High Capacity and High Efficiency Maple Tree-Biomass-Derived Hard Carbon as an Anode Material for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are in the spotlight because of their potential use in large-scale energy storage devices due to the abundance and low cost of sodium-based materials. There are many SIB cathode materials under investigation but only a few candidate materials such as carbon, oxides and alloys were proposed as anodes. Among these anode materials, hard carbon shows promising performances with low operating potential and relatively high specific capacity. Unfortunately, its low initial coulombic efficiency and high cost limit its commercial applications. In this study, low-cost maple tree-biomass-derived hard carbon is tested as the anode for sodium-ion batteries. The capacity of hard carbon prepared at 1400 °C (HC-1400) reaches 337 mAh/g at 0.1 C. The initial coulombic efficiency is up to 88.03% in Sodium trifluoromethanesulfonimide (NaTFSI)/Ethylene carbonate (EC): Diethyl carbonate (DEC) electrolyte. The capacity was maintained at 92.3% after 100 cycles at 0.5 C rates. The in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that no peak shift occurred during charge/discharge, supporting a finding of no sodium ion intercalates in the nano-graphite layer. Its low cost, high capacity and high coulombic efficiency indicate that hard carbon is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries.

Facile synthesis of <i>Camellia oleifera</i> shell-derived hard carbon as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:A comparatively facile and ecofriendly process has been developed to synthesize porous carbon materials from Camellia oleifera shells. Potassium carbonate solution (K2CO3) impregnation is introduced to modify the functional groups on the surface of Camellia oleifera shells, which may play a role in promoting the development of pore structure during carbonization treatment. Moreover, a small amount of naturally embedded nitrogen and sulfur in the Camellia oleifera shells can also bring about the formation of pores. The Camellia oleifera shell-derived carbon has a large specific surface area of 1479 m2 g-1 with a total pore volume of 0.832 cm3 g-1 after being carbonized at 900 °C for 1 h. Furthermore, when used as an anode for lithium-ion batteries, the sample shows superior electrochemical performance with a specific capacity of 483 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles measured at 200 mA g-1 current density. Surprisingly, the specific capacity is even gradually increased with cycling. In addition, this sample exhibits almost 100% retention capacity after 250 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g-1.

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.

Low-Cost and High-Performance Hard Carbon Anode Materials for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:As an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), hard carbon (HC) presents high specific capacity and favorable cycling performance. However, high cost and low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of HC seriously limit its future commercialization for SIBs. A typical biowaste, mangosteen shell was selected as a precursor to prepare low-cost and high-performance HC via a facile one-step carbonization method, and the influence of different heat treatments on the morphologies, microstructures, and electrochemical performances was investigated systematically. The microstructure evolution studied using X-ray diffraction, Raman, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, along with electrochemical measurements, reveals the optimal carbonization condition of the mangosteen shell: HC carbonized at 1500 °C for 2 h delivers the highest reversible capacity of ∼330 mA h g-1 at a current density of 20 mA g-1, a capacity retention of ∼98% after 100 cycles, and an ICE of ∼83%. Additionally, the sodium-ion storage behavior of HC is deeply analyzed using galvanostatic intermittent titration and cyclic voltammetry technologies.

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.
