The Effects of the Binder and Buffering Matrix on InSb-Based Anodes for High-Performance Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: C-decorated intermetallic InSb (InSb-C) was developed as a novel high-performance anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). InSb nanoparticles synthesized via a mechanochemical reaction were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The effects of the binder and buffering matrix on the active InSb were investigated. Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was found to significantly improve the cycling stability owing to its strong hydrogen bonding. The addition of amorphous C to InSb further enhanced mechanical stability and electronic conductivity. As a result, InSb-C demonstrated good electrochemical Li-ion storage performance: a high reversible specific capacity (878 mAh·g^-1 at 100 mA·g^-1 after 140 cycles) and good rate capability (capacity retention of 98% at 10 A·g^-1 as compared to 0.1 A·g^-1). The effects of PAA and C were comprehensively studied using cyclic voltammetry, differential capacity plots, ex-situ SEM, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In addition, the electrochemical reaction mechanism of InSb was revealed using ex-situ XRD. InSb-C exhibited a better performance than many recently reported Sb-based electrodes; thus, it can be considered as a potential anode material in LIBs.

All Binder-Free Electrodes for High-Performance Wearable Aqueous Rechargeable Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Extensive efforts have recently been devoted to the construction of aqueous rechargeable sodium-ion batteries (ARSIBs) for large-scale energy-storage applications due to their desired properties of abundant sodium resources and inherently safer aqueous electrolytes. However, it is still a significant challenge to develop highly flexible ARSIBs ascribing to the lack of flexible electrode materials. In this work, nanocube-like KNiFe(CN)6 (KNHCF) and rugby ball-like NaTi2(PO4)3 (NTP) are grown on carbon nanotube fibers via simple and mild methods as the flexible binder-free cathode (KNHCF@CNTF) and anode (NTP@CNTF), respectively. Taking advantage of their high conductivity, fast charge transport paths, and large accessible surface area, the as-fabricated binder-free electrodes display admirable electrochemical performance. Inspired by the remarkable flexibility of the binder-free electrodes and the synergy of KNHCF@CNTF and NTP@CNTF, a high-performance quasi-solid-state fiber-shaped ARSIB (FARSIB) is successfully assembled for the first time. Significantly, the as-assembled FARSIB possesses a high capacity of 34.21 mAh cm-3 and impressive energy density of 39.32 mWh cm-3. More encouragingly, our FARSIB delivers superior mechanical flexibility with only 5.7% of initial capacity loss after bending at 90° for over 3000 cycles. Thus, this work opens up an avenue to design ultraflexible ARSIBs based on all binder-free electrodes for powering wearable and portable electronics.

Enhancing the Electrochemical Performance of SbTe Bimetallic Anodes for High-Performance Sodium-Ion Batteries: Roles of the Binder and Carbon Support Matrix.

Project description:Synergism between the alloy materials and the carbon support matrix, in conjunction with the binder and electrolyte additives, is of utmost importance when developing sodium-ion batteries as viable replacements for lithium-ion batteries. In this study, we demonstrate the importance of the binder and carbon support matrix in enhancing the stabilities, cyclabilities, and capacity retentions of bimetallic anodes in sodium-ion batteries. SbTe electrodes containing 20%, 30%, and 40% carbon were fabricated with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) binders, and electrochemically evaluated at a current rate of 100 mA g-1 using electrolytes with 0%, 2%, and 5% added fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC). The electrodes with the PVDF binder in cells with 5% FEC added to the electrolyte showed capacity retentions that increased with increasing carbon percentage, delivering reversible capacities of 34, 69, and 168 mAh g-1 with 20%, 30%, and 40% carbon; these electrodes retained 8.1%, 17.4%, and 44.8% of their respective capacities after 100 cycles. However, electrodes composed of the PAA binder in cells with 5% FEC added to the electrolyte delivered reversible capacities of 408, 373, and 341 mAh g-1 with 20%, 30%, and 40% carbon; 93.5%, 93.4%, and 94.4% of their respective capacities were retained after 100 cycles. The carbon support matrix plays a significant role in improving the stability, cyclability, and capacity retention of the electrode. However, when the tradeoff between capacity and cyclability associated with carbon percentage is considered, the binder plays a significantly more prominent role in achieving high capacities, high cyclabilities, and enhanced retention rates.

Highly Ordered SnO2 Nanopillar Array as Binder-Free Anodes for Long-Life and High-Rate Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:SnO2, a typical transition metal oxide, is a promising conversion-type electrode material with an ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity of 1494 mAh g-1. Nevertheless, the electrochemical performance of SnO2 electrode is limited by large volumetric changes (~300%) during the charge/discharge process, leading to rapid capacity decay, poor cyclic performance, and inferior rate capability. In order to overcome these bottlenecks, we develop highly ordered SnO2 nanopillar array as binder-free anodes for LIBs, which are realized by anodic aluminum oxide-assisted pulsed laser deposition. The as-synthesized SnO2 nanopillar exhibit an ultrahigh initial specific capacity of 1082 mAh g-1 and maintain a high specific capacity of 524/313 mAh g-1 after 1100/6500 cycles, outperforming SnO2 thin film-based anodes and other reported binder-free SnO2 anodes. Moreover, SnO2 nanopillar demonstrate excellent rate performance under high current density of 64 C (1 C = 782 mA g-1), delivering a specific capacity of 278 mAh g-1, which can be restored to 670 mAh g-1 after high-rate cycling. The superior electrochemical performance of SnO2 nanoarray can be attributed to the unique architecture of SnO2, where highly ordered SnO2 nanopillar array provided adequate room for volumetric expansion and ensured structural integrity during the lithiation/delithiation process. The current study presents an effective approach to mitigate the inferior cyclic performance of SnO2-based electrodes, offering a realistic prospect for its applications as next-generation energy storage devices.

One-Pot Synthesis of High-Performance Tin Chalcogenides/C Anodes for Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Tin chalcogenides are considered as promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical lithium-storage capacity. Herein, we have successfully synthesized the composites of tin chalcogenides and graphite, that is, SnS/C, SnSe/C, and SnS0.5Se0.5/C, via a simple one-pot solid-state method. During the electrochemical test, they exhibit excellent lithium-storage ability and cyclic performance as the anode electrodes of LIBs due to the introduction of carbon. In particular, (i) SnS/C displayed a high specific capacity of 875 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 over 200 cycles; (ii) SnSe/C presents 734 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 100 cycles, and it delivers 690 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 over 300 cycles; and (iii) the SnS0.5Se0.5/C composite electrode delivers a specific capacity of 643 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 over 150 cycles. Furthermore, another series of tin-based composites have also been successfully fabricated (i.e., Sn/C, SnS2/C, SnSe2/C, and SnTe/C), showing the general applicability of the synthetic route applied here. Our synthetic approach demonstrates a promising route for the large-scale production of high-performance tin chalcogenides/C anode materials for LIBs and other battery systems (e.g., Na-ion and K-ion batteries).

Synthesis of Si/Fe2O3-Anchored rGO Frameworks as High-Performance Anodes for Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:By virtue of the high theoretical capacity of Si, Si-related materials have been developed as promising anode candidates for high-energy-density batteries. During repeated charge/discharge cycling, however, severe volumetric variation induces the pulverization and peeling of active components, causing rapid capacity decay and even development stagnation in high-capacity batteries. In this study, the Si/Fe2O3-anchored rGO framework was prepared by introducing ball milling into a melt spinning and dealloying process. As the Li-ion battery (LIB) anode, it presents a high reversible capacity of 1744.5 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1 after 200 cycles and 889.4 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 500 cycles. The outstanding electrochemical performance is due to the three-dimensional cross-linked porous framework with a high specific surface area, which is helpful to the transmission of ions and electrons. Moreover, with the cooperation of rGO, the volume expansion of Si is effectively alleviated, thus improving cycling stability. The work provides insights for the design and preparation of Si-based materials for high-performance LIB applications.

Binder-Free V2O5 Cathode for High Energy Density Rechargeable Aluminum-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Nowadays, research on electrochemical storage systems moves into the direction of post-lithium-ion batteries, such as aluminum-ion batteries, and the exploration of suitable materials for such batteries. Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is one of the most promising host materials for the intercalation of multivalent ions. Here, we report on the fabrication of a binder-free and self-supporting V2O5 micrometer-thick paper-like electrode material and its use as the cathode for rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries. The electrical conductivity of the cathode was significantly improved by a novel in-situ and self-limiting copper migration approach into the V2O5 structure. This process takes advantage of the dissolution of Cu by the ionic liquid-based electrolyte, as well as the presence of two different accommodation sites in the nanostructured V2O5 available for aluminum-ions and the migrated Cu. Furthermore, the advanced nanostructured cathode delivered a specific discharge capacity of up to ~170 mAh g-1 and the reversible intercalation of Al3+ for more than 500 cycles with a high Coulomb efficiency reaching nearly 100%. The binder-free concept results in an energy density of 74 Wh kg-1, which shows improved energy density in comparison to the so far published V2O5-based cathodes. Our results provide valuable insights for the future design and development of novel binder-free and self-supporting electrodes for rechargeable multivalent metal-ion batteries associating a high energy density, cycling stability, safety and low cost.

Lignin as a Binder Material for Eco-Friendly Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The industrial lignin used here is a byproduct from Kraft pulp mills, extracted from black liquor. Since lignin is inexpensive, abundant and renewable, its utilization has attracted more and more attention. In this work, lignin was used for the first time as binder material for LiFePO₄ positive and graphite negative electrodes in Li-ion batteries. A procedure for pretreatment of lignin, where low-molecular fractions were removed by leaching, was necessary to obtain good battery performance. The lignin was analyzed for molecular mass distribution and thermal behavior prior to and after the pretreatment. Electrodes containing active material, conductive particles and lignin were cast on metal foils, acting as current collectors and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and galvanostatic charge-discharge cycles. Good reversible capacities were obtained, 148 mAh·g-1 for the positive electrode and 305 mAh·g-1 for the negative electrode. Fairly good rate capabilities were found for both the positive electrode with 117 mAh·g-1 and the negative electrode with 160 mAh·g-1 at 1C. Low ohmic resistance also indicated good binder functionality. The results show that lignin is a promising candidate as binder material for electrodes in eco-friendly Li-ion batteries.

Bio-Derived, Binderless, Hierarchically Porous Carbon Anodes for Li-ion Batteries.

Project description:Here we explore the electrochemical performance of pyrolyzed skins from the species A. bisporus, also known as the Portobello mushroom, as free-standing, binder-free, and current collector-free Li-ion battery anodes. At temperatures above 900 °C, the biomass-derived carbon nanoribbon-like architectures undergo unique processes to become hierarchically porous. During heat-treatment, the oxygen and heteroatom-rich organics and potassium compounds naturally present in the mushroom skins play a mutual role in creating inner void spaces throughout the resulting carbon nanoribbons, which is a process analogous to KOH-activation of carbon materials seen in literature. The pores formed in the pyrolytic carbon nanoribbons range in size from sub-nanometer to tens of nanometers, making the nanoribbons micro, meso, and macroporous. Detailed studies were conducted on the carbon nanoribbons using SEM and TEM to study morphology, as well as XRD and EDS to study composition. The self-supporting nanoribbon anodes demonstrate significant capacity increase as they undergo additional charge/discharge cycles. After a pyrolysis temperature of 1100 °C, the pristine anodes achieve over 260 mAh/g after 700 cycles and a Coulombic efficiency of 101.1%, without the use of harmful solvents or chemical activation agents.

Flexible membranes of MoS2/C nanofibers by electrospinning as binder-free anodes for high-performance sodium-ion batteries.

Project description:A flexible membrane consisting of MoS2/carbon nanofibers has been fabricated by a simple electrospinning method. MoS2 nanosheets are uniformly encapsulated in the inter-connected carbon nanofibers with diameters of ~150 nm. When evaluated as a binder-free electrode for sodium-ion batteries, the as-obtained electrode demonstrates high performances, including high reversible capacity of 381.7 mA h g(-1) at 100 mA g(-1) and superior rate capability (283.3, 246.5 and 186.3 mA h g(-1) at 0.5, 1 and 2 A g(-1), respectively). Most importantly, the binder-free electrode made of MoS2 and carbon nanofibers can still deliver a charge capacity of 283.9 mA h g(-1) after 600 cycles at a current density of 100 m A g(-1), indicating a very promising anode for long-life SIBs.

Vinyltriethoxysilane crosslinked poly(acrylic acid sodium) as a polymeric binder for high performance silicon anodes in lithium ion batteries.

Project description:In order to effectively relieve the large volume changes of silicon anodes during the cycling process in lithium ion batteries (LIBs), we developed a vinyltriethoxysilane crosslinked poly(acrylic acid sodium) polymeric binder (PVTES-NaPAA) for the Si anodes. The PVTES-NaPAA binder was synthesized by using a free radical co-polymerization method with VTES and NaPAA as precursors. In this binder, NaPAA with carboxyl groups can provide strong adhesion between Si particles and the current collector. Furthermore, VTES can be hydrolyzed and condense with each other to form a three-dimensional crosslinked network; the special network makes it possible to improve the Si electrode stability, resulting in an excellent cycling performance (78.2% capacity retention after 100 cycles) and high coulombic efficiency (99.9% after 100 cycles).
