Constructing high-performance electrode materials using core-shell ZnCo₂O₄@PPy nanowires for hybrid batteries and water splitting.

ABSTRACT: Heterogeneity can be used as a promising method to improve the electrochemical performance of electrode materials; thus, ZnCo₂O₄@PPy samples were prepared using a facile hydrothermal route and an electrochemical deposition process. The as-prepared products possess a specific capacitance of 605 C g^-1 at a current density of 1 A g^-1. The asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) possesses an energy density of 141.3 W h kg^-1 at a power density of 2700.5 W kg^-1 and capacity retention of 88.1% after 10 000 cycles, indicating its promising potential for energy devices. ZnCo₂O₄@PPy-50 exhibited an excellent OER performance and outstanding HER performance in alkaline media. As an advanced bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting, a voltage of 1.61 V at a current density of 50 mA cm^-2 outperforms the majority of noble-metal-free electrocatalysts.

A Hybrid Electrode of Co3O4@PPy Core/Shell Nanosheet Arrays for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

Project description:Herein, combining solverthermal route and electrodeposition, we grew unique hybrid nanosheet arrays consisting of Co3O4 nanosheet as a core, PPy as a shell. Benefiting from the PPy as conducting polymer improving an electron transport rate as well as synergistic effects from such a core/shell structure, a hybrid electrode made of the Co3O4@PPy core/shell nanosheet arrays exhibits a large areal capacitance of 2.11 F cm-2 at the current density of 2 mA cm-2, a ~4-fold enhancement compared with the pristine Co3O4 electrode; furthermore, this hybrid electrode also displays good rate capability (~65 % retention of the initial capacitance from 2 to 20 mA cm-2) and superior cycling performance (~85.5 % capacitance retention after 5000 cycles). In addition, the equivalent series resistance value of the Co3O4@PPy hybrid electrode (0.238 Ω) is significantly lower than that of the pristine Co3O4 electrode (0.319 Ω). These results imply that the Co3O4@PPy hybrid composites have a potential for fabricating next-generation energy storage and conversion devices.

Controllable synthesis of nanostructured ZnCo2O4 as high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Nanostructured ZnCo2O4 anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been successfully prepared by a two-step process, combining facile and concise electrospinning and simple post-treatment techniques. Three different structured ZnCo2O4 anodes (nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanowires) can be prepared by simply adjusting the ratio of metallic salt and PVP in the precursor solutions. Charge-discharge tests and cyclic voltammetry (CV) have been conducted to evaluate the lithium storage performances of ZnCo2O4 anodes, particularly for ZnCo2O4 nanotubes obtained from a weight ratio 2 : 4 of metallic salt and PVP polymer in the precursor solution. Remarkably, ZnCo2O4 nanotubes exhibit high specific capacity, good rate property, and long cycling stability. Reversible capacity is still maintained at 1180.8 mA h g-1 after 275 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g-1. In case of rate capability, even after cycling at the 2000 mA g-1 current density, the capacity could recover to 684 mA h g-1. The brilliant electrochemical properties of the ZnCo2O4 anodes make them promising anodes for LIBs and other energy storage applications.

MoO3@MoS2 Core-Shell Structured Hybrid Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:We explore a phase engineering strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of transition metal sulfides (TMSs) in anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). A one-pot hydrothermal approach has been employed to synthesize MoS2 nanostructures. MoS2 and MoO3 phases can be readily controlled by straightforward calcination in the (200-300) °C temperature range. An optimized temperature of 250 °C yields a phase-engineered MoO3@MoS2 hybrid, while 200 and 300 °C produce single MoS2 and MoO3 phases. When tested in LIBs anode, the optimized MoO3@MoS2 hybrid outperforms the pristine MoS2 and MoO3 counterparts. With above 99% Coulombic efficiency (CE), the hybrid anode retains its capacity of 564 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles, and maintains a capacity of 278 mAh g-1 at 700 mA g-1 current density. These favorable characteristics are attributed to the formation of MoO3 passivation surface layer on MoS2 and reactive interfaces between the two phases, which facilitate the Li-ion insertion/extraction, successively improving MoO3@MoS2 anode performance.

Three-dimensional hierarchical ZnCo2O4@C3N4-B nanoflowers as high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:ZnCo2O4 has become one of the most widely used anode materials due to its good specific capacity, cost-efficiency, high thermal stability and environmental benignity. However, its poor conductivity and cycle stability have limited its practical application in lithium-ion batteries. To overcome these issues, we constructed a 3D nanoflower composite material (ZnCo2O4@C3N4-B) by combining ZnCo2O4 as a framework and B-doped g-C3N4 (g-C3N4-B) as a new carbon source material via a simple hydrothermal method. ZnCo2O4@C3N4-B exhibited exceptional specific capacitance of 919.76 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 0.2 A g-1 and a long-term capacity retention of 97.8% after 1000 cycles at 2 A g-1. The high reversible capacity, long cycling life and good rate performance could be attributed to the 3D interconnected architecture and doping of g-C3N4-B. This work provides a simple and general strategy to design high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion batteries to meet the needs of practical applications.

Promoting the Performance of Li-CO2 Batteries via Constructing Three-Dimensional Interconnected K+ Doped MnO2 Nanowires Networks.

Project description:Nowadays, Li-CO2 batteries have attracted enormous interests due to their high energy density for integrated energy storage and conversion devices, superiorities of capturing and converting CO2. Nevertheless, the actual application of Li-CO2 batteries is hindered attributed to excessive overpotential and poor lifespan. In the past decades, catalysts have been employed in the Li-CO2 batteries and been demonstrated to reduce the decomposition potential of the as-formed Li2CO3 during charge process with high efficiency. However, as a representative of promising catalysts, the high costs of noble metals limit the further development, which gives rise to the exploration of catalysts with high efficiency and low cost. In this work, we prepared a K+ doped MnO2 nanowires networks with three-dimensional interconnections (3D KMO NWs) catalyst through a simple hydrothermal method. The interconnected 3D nanowires network catalysts could accelerate the Li ions diffusion, CO2 transfer and the decomposition of discharge products Li2CO3. It is found that high content of K+ doping can promote the diffusion of ions, electrons and CO2 in the MnO2 air cathode, and promote the octahedral effect of MnO6, stabilize the structure of MnO2 hosts, and improve the catalytic activity of CO2. Therefore, it shows a high total discharge capacity of 9,043 mAh g-1, a low overpotential of 1.25 V, and a longer cycle performance.

Constructing a TiO2/PDA core/shell nanorod array electrode as a highly sensitive and stable photoelectrochemical glucose biosensor.

Project description:Developing stable PEC glucose biosensors with high sensitivity and low detection limit is highly desirable in the biosensor field. Herein, a highly stable and sensitive enzymatic glucose photoelectrochemical biosensor is rationally designed and fabricated by constructing TiO2/PDA core/shell nanorod arrays. The TiO2 nanorod as the core has the advantages of increasing charge transportation towards interfaces and enhancing the absorption of incident sunlight due to its single-crystal nature and one dimensional array structure. The PDA shell not only induces a rapid charge transfer across the interfaces but also stabilizes the biosensor performance by avoiding the decomposition of enzymes induced by the strong oxidizing holes from the TiO2 core. A remarkable performance with an ultrahigh sensitivity of 57.72 μA mM-1 cm-2, a linear range of 0.2-1.0 mM, a glucose detection limit of 0.0285 mM (S/N = 3) and a high sensitivity of 8.75 μA mM-1 cm-2 in a dynamic range of 1.0-6.0 mM were obtained for the glucose detection. This study might provide a strategy for constructing inorganic/organic core/shell structures with a satisfactory PEC performance.

Kinked silicon nanowires-enabled interweaving electrode configuration for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:A tri-dimensional interweaving kinked silicon nanowires (k-SiNWs) assembly, with a Ni current collector co-integrated, is evaluated as electrode configuration for lithium ion batteries. The large-scale fabrication of k-SiNWs is based on a procedure for continuous metal assisted chemical etching of Si, supported by a chemical peeling step that enables the reuse of the Si substrate. The kinks are triggered by a simple, repetitive etch-quench sequence in a HF and H2O2-based etchant. We find that the inter-locking frameworks of k-SiNWs and multi-walled carbon nanotubes exhibit beneficial mechanical properties with a foam-like behavior amplified by the kinks and a suitable porosity for a minimal electrode deformation upon Li insertion. In addition, ionic liquid electrolyte systems associated with the integrated Ni current collector repress the detrimental effects related to the Si-Li alloying reaction, enabling high cycling stability with 80% capacity retention (1695 mAh/gSi) after 100 cycles. Areal capacities of 2.42 mAh/cm2 (1276 mAh/gelectrode) can be achieved at the maximum evaluated thickness (corresponding to 1.3 mgSi/cm2). This work emphasizes the versatility of the metal assisted chemical etching for the synthesis of advanced Si nanostructures for high performance lithium ion battery electrodes.
