Hierarchical non-woven fabric NiO/TiO₂ film as an efficient anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

ABSTRACT: Hierarchical non-woven fabric NiO/TiO₂ film is prepared using a facile two-step synthesis by electrospinning and subsequent hydrothermal reaction to yield TiO₂ film decorated with NiO nanosheets. As an anode material for Li-ion batteries, the NiO/TiO₂ composite exhibits discharge and charge capacities of 1251.3 and 1284.3 mA h g^-1, with good cycling performance and rate capability. Characterization shows that the NiO nanosheets are distributed on the surface of the TiO₂ nanofibers. The total specific capacity of NiO/TiO₂ is higher than the sum of pure TiO₂ and NiO, indicating a positive synergistic effect of TiO₂ and NiO on the improvement of electrochemical performance. The results suggest that non-woven fabric NiO/TiO₂ film is a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries.

A stable TiO2-graphene nanocomposite anode with high rate capability for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:A rapid microwave hydrothermal process is adopted for the synthesis of titanium dioxide and reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites as high-performance anode materials for Li-ion batteries. With the assistance of hydrazine hydrate as a reducing agent, graphene oxide was reduced while TiO2 nanoparticles were grown in situ on the nanosheets to obtain the nanocomposite material. The morphology of the nanocomposite obtained consisted of TiO2 particles with a size of ∼100 nm, uniformly distributed on the reduced graphene oxide nanosheets. The as-prepared TiO2-graphene nanocomposite was able to deliver a capacity of 250 mA h g-1 ± 5% at 0.2C for more than 200 cycles with remarkably stable cycle life during the Li+ insertion/extraction process. In terms of high rate capability performance, the nanocomposite delivered discharge capacity of ca. 100 mA h g-1 with >99% coulombic efficiency at C-rates of up to 20C. The enhanced electrochemical performance of the material in terms of high rate capability and cycling stability indicates that the as-developed TiO2-rGO nanocomposites are promising electrode materials for future Li-ion batteries.

The rational design of hierarchical MoS2 nanosheet hollow spheres sandwiched between carbon and TiO2@graphite as an improved anode for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) shows high capacity but suffers from poor rate capability and rapid capacity decay, which greatly limit its practical applications in lithium-ion batteries. Herein, we successfully prepared MoS2 nanosheet hollow spheres encapsulated into carbon and titanium dioxide@graphite, denoted as TiO2@G@MoS2@C, via hydrothermal and polymerization approaches. In this hierarchical architecture, the MoS2 hollow sphere was sandwiched by graphite and an amorphous carbon shell; thus, TiO2@G@MoS2@C exhibited effectively enhanced electrical conductivity and withstood the volume changes; moreover, the aggregation and diffusion of the MoS2 nanosheets were restricted; this advanced TiO2@G@MoS2@C fully combined the advantages of a three-dimensional architecture, hollow structure, carbon coating, and a mechanically robust TiO2@graphite support, achieving improved specific capacity and long-term cycling stability. In addition, it exhibited the high reversible specific capacity of 823 mA h g-1 at the current density of 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles, retaining almost 88% of the initial reversible capacity with the high coulombic efficiency of 99%.

TiO2 nanotubes wrapped with reduced graphene oxide as a high-performance anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Through electrostatic interaction and high-temperature reduction methods, rGO was closely coated onto the surface of TiO2 nanotubes. Even at a high temperature of 700 °C, the nanotube morphology of TiO2 (anatase) was preserved because of the assistance of rGO, which provides a framework that prevents the tubes from breaking into particles and undergoing a phase transformation. The rGO/TiO2 nanotubes deliver a high capacity (263 mAh g-1 at the end of 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1), excellent rate performance (151 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 and 102 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1), and good cycle stability (206 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 0.5 A g-1). These characteristics arise from the GO/TiO2 nanotubes' advanced structure. First, the closely coated rGO and Ti3+ in the tubes give rise to a high electro-conductivity of the nanotubes. Additionally, the Li+ ions can rapidly transfer into the electrode via the nanotubes' empty inner diameter and short tube wall.

Atomic layer deposition of ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates as ultra-long life anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:In this work, we designed ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as anode material for lithium ion batteries. ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates were fabricated on copper foil by depositing unit of 26 cycles ZnO/26 cycles TiO2 repeatedly using ALD. ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates are much more stable than pristine ZnO films during electrochemical cycling process. Therefore, ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates exhibit excellent lithium storage performance with an improved cycling performance and superior rate capability compared to pristine ZnO films. Moreover, coulombic efficiency (CE) of ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates is above 99%, which is much higher than the value of pristine ZnO films. Excellent ultralong-life performance is gained for ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates, retaining a reversible capacity of ~667 mAh g-1 within cut-off voltage of 0.05-2.5 V after 1200 cycles of charge-discharge at 500 mA g-1. Constructing nanolaminates structures via ALD might open up new opportunities for improving the performance of anode materials with large volume expansion in lithium ion batteries.

Unveiling the Role of PEO-Capped TiO2 Nanofiller in Stabilizing the Anode Interface in Lithium Metal Batteries.

Project description:Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) will be a breakthrough in automotive applications, but they require the development of next-generation solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) to stabilize the anode interface. Polymer-in-ceramic PEO/TiO2 nanocomposite SSEs show outstanding properties, allowing unprecedented LMBs durability and self-healing capabilities. However, the mechanism underlying the inhibition/delay of dendrite growth is not well understood. In fact, the inorganic phase could act as both a chemical and a mechanical barrier to dendrite propagation. Combining advanced in situ and ex situ experimental techniques, we demonstrate that oligo(ethylene oxide)-capped TiO2, although chemically inert toward lithium metal, imparts SSE with mechanical and dynamical properties particularly favorable for application. The self-healing characteristics are due to the interplay between mechanical robustness and high local polymer mobility which promotes the disruption of the electric continuity of the lithium dendrites (razor effect).

Lychee-like TiO2@Fe2O3 Core-Shell Nanostructures with Improved Lithium Storage Properties as Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:In this study, lychee-like TiO2@Fe2O3 microspheres with a core-shell structure have been prepared by coating Fe2O3 on the surface of TiO2 mesoporous microspheres using the homogeneous precipitation method. The structural and micromorphological characterization of TiO2@Fe2O3 microspheres has been carried out using XRD, FE-SEM, and Raman, and the results show that hematite Fe2O3 particles (7.05% of the total mass) are uniformly coated on the surface of anatase TiO2 microspheres, and the specific surface area of this material is 14.72 m2 g-1. The electrochemical performance test results show that after 200 cycles at 0.2 C current density, the specific capacity of TiO2@Fe2O3 anode material increases by 219.3% compared with anatase TiO2, reaching 591.5 mAh g-1; after 500 cycles at 2 C current density, the discharge specific capacity of TiO2@Fe2O3 reaches 273.1 mAh g-1, and its discharge specific capacity, cycle stability, and multiplicity performance are superior to those of commercial graphite. In comparison with anatase TiO2 and hematite Fe2O3, TiO2@Fe2O3 has higher conductivity and lithium-ion diffusion rate, thereby enhancing its rate performance. The electron density of states (DOS) of TiO2@Fe2O3 shows its metallic nature by DFT calculations, revealing the essential reason for the high electronic conductivity of TiO2@Fe2O3. This study presents a novel strategy for identifying suitable anode materials for commercial lithium-ion batteries.

Fabrication of hierarchically porous TiO2 nanofibers by microemulsion electrospinning and their application as anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers have been widely applied in various fields including photocatalysis, energy storage and solar cells due to the advantages of low cost, high abundance and nontoxicity. However, the low conductivity of ions and bulk electrons hinder its rapid development in lithium-ion batteries (LIB). In order to improve the electrochemical performances of TiO2 nanomaterials as anode for LIB, hierarchically porous TiO2 nanofibers with different tetrabutyl titanate (TBT)/paraffin oil ratios were prepared as anode for LIB via a versatile single-nozzle microemulsion electrospinning (ME-ES) method followed by calcining. The experimental results indicated that TiO2 nanofibers with the higher TBT/paraffin oil ratio demonstrated more axially aligned channels and a larger specific surface area. Furthermore, they presented superior lithium-ion storage properties in terms of specific capacity, rate capability and cycling performance compared with solid TiO2 nanofibers for LIB. The initial discharge and charge capacity of porous TiO2 nanofibers with a TBT/paraffin oil ratio of 2.25 reached up to 634.72 and 390.42 mAh·g-1, thus resulting in a coulombic efficiency of 61.51%; and the discharge capacity maintained 264.56 mAh·g-1 after 100 cycles, which was much higher than that of solid TiO2 nanofibers. TiO2 nanofibers with TBT/paraffin oil ratio of 2.25 still obtained a high reversible capacity of 204.53 mAh·g-1 when current density returned back to 40 mA·g-1 after 60 cycles at increasing stepwise current density from 40 mA·g-1 to 800 mA·g-1. Herein, hierarchically porous TiO2 nanofibers have the potential to be applied as anode for lithium-ion batteries in practical applications.

Phases Hybriding and Hierarchical Structuring of Mesoporous TiO2 Nanowire Bundles for High-Rate and High-Capacity Lithium Batteries.

Project description:A hierarchical mesoporous TiO2 nanowire bundles (HM-TiO2-NB) superstructure with amorphous surface and straight nanochannels has been designed and synthesized through a templating method at a low temperature under acidic and wet conditions. The obtained HM-TiO2-NB superstructure demonstrates high reversible capacity, excellent cycling performance, and superior rate capability. Most importantly, a self-improving phenomenon of Li+ insertion capability based on two simultaneous effects, the crystallization of amorphous TiO2 and the formation of Li2Ti2O4 crystalline dots on the surface of TiO2 nanowires, has been clearly revealed through ex situ transmission electron microcopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques during the Li+ insertion process. When discharged for 100 cycles at 1 C, the HM-TiO2-NB exhibits a reversible capacity of 174 mA h g-1. Even when the current density is increased to 50 C, a very stable and extraordinarily high reversible capacity of 96 mA h g-1 can be delivered after 50 cycles. Compared to the previously reported results, both the lithium storage capacity and rate capability of our pure TiO2 material without any additives are among the highest values reported. The advanced electrochemical performance of these HM-TiO2-NB superstructures is the result of the synergistic effect of hybriding of amorphous and crystalline (anatase/rutile) phases and hierarchically structuring of TiO2 nanowire bundles. Our material could be a very promising anodic material for lithium-ion batteries.

Diatomite derived hierarchical hybrid anode for high performance all-solid-state lithium metal batteries.

Project description:Lithium metal based anode with hierarchical structure to enable high rate capability, volume change accommodation, and dendritic suppression is highly desirable for all-solid-state lithium metal battery. However, the fabrication of hierarchical lithium metal based anode is challenging due to the volatility of lithium. Here, we report that natural diatomite can act as an excellent template for constructing hierarchical silicon-lithium based hybrid anode for high performance all-solid-state lithium metal battery. This hybrid anode exhibits stable lithium stripping/plating performance over 1000?h with average overpotential lower than 100?mV without any short circuit. Moreover, all-solid-state full cell using this lithium metal composite anode to couple with lithium iron phosphate cathode shows excellent cycling stability (0.04% capacity decay rate for 500 cycles at 0.5C) and high rate capability (65 mAh g-1 at 5C). The present natural diatomite derived hybrid anode could further promote the fabrication of high performance all-solid-state lithium batteries from sustainable natural resources.
