Exploration of the modification of carbon-based substrate surfaces in aqueous rechargeable zinc ion batteries.

ABSTRACT: The hydrophobic surfaces of carbon-based substrates lead to a huge interface impedance in aqueous rechargeable zinc ion batteries (ZIBs). Herein, we try to regulate the morphology and investigate the effects of polar groups on the substrate surface. With the treated substrate, the cyclic and rate performances of MnO₂ electrodes are improved by ∼42.5% and 97 mA h g^-1.

Zinc-Ion Storage Mechanism of Polyaniline for Rechargeable Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Aqueous multivalent ion batteries, especially aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), have promising energy storage application due to their unique merits of safety, high ionic conductivity, and high gravimetric energy density. To improve their electrochemical performance, polyaniline (PANI) is often chosen to suppress cathode dissolution. Herein, this work focuses on the zinc ion storage behavior of a PANI cathode. The energy storage mechanism of PANI is associated with four types of protonated/non-protonated amine or imine. The PANI cathode achieves a high capacity of 74 mAh g-1 at 0.3 A g-1 and maintains 48.4% of its initial discharge capacity after 1000 cycles. It also demonstrates an ultrahigh diffusion coefficient of 6.25 × 10-9~7.82 × 10-8 cm-2 s-1 during discharging and 7.69 × 10-10~1.81 × 10-7 cm-2 s-1 during charging processes, which is one or two orders of magnitude higher than other reported studies. This work sheds a light on developing PANI-composited cathodes in rechargeable aqueous ZIBs energy storage devices.

A weakly solvating electrolyte towards practical rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries.

Project description:Structure deterioration and side reaction, which originated from the solvated H2O, are the main constraints for the practical deployment of both cathode and anode in aqueous Zn-ion batteries. Here we formulate a weakly solvating electrolyte to reduce the solvating power of H2O and strengthen the coordination competitiveness of SO42- to Zn2+ over H2O. Experiment results and theoretical simulations demonstrate that the water-poor solvation structure of Zn2+ is achieved, which can (i) substantially eliminate solvated-H2O-mediated undesirable side reactions on the Zn anode. (ii) boost the desolvation kinetics of Zn2+ and suppress Zn dendrite growth as well as structure aberration of the cathode. Remarkably, the synergy of these two factors enables long-life full cells including Zn/NaV3O8·1.5H2O, Zn/MnO2 and Zn/CoFe(CN)6 cells. More importantly, practical rechargeable AA-type Zn/NVO cells are assembled, which present a capacity of 101.7 mAh and stability of 96.1% capacity retention after 30 cycles at 0.66 C.

Redox-active zinc thiolates for low-cost aqueous rechargeable Zn-ion batteries.

Project description:Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising candidates for large-scale electrical energy storage due to the inexpensive, safe, and non-toxic nature of zinc. One key area that requires further development is electrode materials that store Zn2+ ions with high reversibility and fast kinetics. To determine the viability of low-cost organosulfur compounds as OEMs for AZIBs, we investigate how structural modification affects electrochemical performance in Zn-thiolate complexes 1 and 2. Remarkably, modification of one thiolate in 1 to sulfide in 2 reduces the voltage hysteresis from 1.04 V to 0.15 V. While 1 exhibits negligible specific capacity due to the formation of insulating DMcT polymers, 2 delivers a capacity of 107 mA h g-1 with a primary discharge plateau at 1.1 V vs. Zn2+/Zn. Spectroscopic studies of 2 suggest a Zn2+ and H+ co-insertion mechanism with Zn2+ as the predominant charge carrier. Capacity fading in Zn-2 cells likely results from the formation of (i) soluble H+ insertion products and (ii) non-redox-active side products. Increasing electrolyte concentration and using a Nafion membrane significantly enhances the stability of 2 by suppressing H+ insertion. Our findings provide insight into the molecular design strategies to reduce the polarization potential and improve the cycling stability of the thiolate/disulfide redox couple in aqueous battery systems.

Reaction mechanisms for electrolytic manganese dioxide in rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries.

Project description:This study reports the phase transformation behaviour associated with electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) utilized as the positive electrode active material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Electrochemical techniques, including galvanostatic charge-discharge and rotating ring-disk electrode measurements, and microstructural techniques, using X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission/scanning transmission electron microscopy, were utilized to characterize the positive electrode at different stages of discharge and charge of zinc-ion cells. The results indicate that, during discharge, a fraction of EMD undergoes a transformation to ZnMn2O4 (spinel-type) and Zn2+ is intercalated into the tunnels of the γ- and ε-MnO2 phases, forming ZnxMnO2 (tunnel-type). When a critical concentration of Mn3+ in the intercalated ZnxMnO2 species is reached, a disproportionation/dissolution reaction is triggered leading to the formation of soluble Mn2+ and hydroxide (OH-) ions; the latter precipitates as zinc hydroxide sulfate (ZHS, Zn4(OH)6(SO4)·5H2O) by combination with the ZnSO4/H2O electrolyte. During charge, Zn2+ is reversibly deintercalated from the intergrown tunneled phases (γ-/ε-ZnxMnO2), Mn2+ is redeposited as layered chalcophanite (ZnMn3O7·3H2O), and ZHS is decomposed by protons (H+) formed during the electrochemical deposition of chalcophanite.

δ-MnO2 nanoflower/graphite cathode for rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries.

Project description:Manganese oxide (MnO2) is one of the most promising intercalation cathode materials for zinc ion batteries (ZIBs). Specifically, a layered type delta manganese dioxide (δ-MnO2) allows reversible insertion/extraction of Zn2+ ions and exhibits high storage capacity of Zn2+ ions. However, a poor conductivity of δ-MnO2, as well as other crystallographic forms, limits its potential applications. This study focuses on δ-MnO2 with nanoflower structure supported on graphite flake, namely MNG, for use as an intercalation host material of rechargeable aqueous ZIBs. Pristine δ-MnO2 nanoflowers and MNG were synthesized and examined using X-ray diffraction, electron spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques. Also, performances of the batteries with the pristine δ-MnO2 nanoflowers and MNG cathodes were studied in CR2032 coin cells. MNG exhibits a fast insertion/extraction of Zn2+ ions with diffusion scheme and pseudocapacitive behavior. The battery using MNG cathode exhibited a high initial discharge capacity of 235 mAh/g at 200 mA/g specific current density compared to 130 mAh/g which is displayed by the pristine δ-MnO2 cathode at the same specific current density. MNG demonstrated superior electrical conductivity compared to the pristine δ-MnO2. The results obtained pave the way for improving the electrical conductivity of MnO2 by using graphite flake support. The graphite flake support significantly improved performances of ZIBs and made them attractive for use in a wide variety of energy applications.

Rechargeable Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries in MgSO4/ZnSO4 Hybrid Electrolytes.

Project description:MgSO4 is chosen as an additive to address the capacity fading issue in the rechargeable zinc-ion battery system of MgxV2O5·nH2O//ZnSO4//zinc. Electrolytes with different concentration ratios of ZnSO4 and MgSO4 are investigated. The batteries measured in the 1 M ZnSO4-1 M MgSO4 electrolyte outplay other competitors, which deliver a high specific capacity of 374 mAh g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1 and exhibit a competitive rate performance with the reversible capacity of 175 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1. This study provides a promising route to improve the performance of vanadium-based cathodes for aqueous zinc-ion batteries with electrolyte optimization in cost-effective electrolytes.

Vanadium Hexacyanoferrate as a High-Capacity and High-Voltage Cathode for Aqueous Rechargeable Zinc Ion Batteries.

Project description:Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are widely used as electrode materials for secondary batteries because of their cheapness, ease of synthesis, and unique structural properties. Nevertheless, the unsatisfactory capacity and cyclic stability of PBAs are seriously preventing their practical applications. Here, vanadium hexacyanoferrate (VHCF) is successfully prepared and used as a cathode for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). When using 3 M Zn(CF3SO3)2 as the electrolyte, a high capacity of ~230 mA h g-1 and a high voltage of ~1.2 V can be achieved. The XRD result and XPS analysis indicate that the outstanding Zn2+ storage capability is due to the presence of dual electrochemical redox centers in VHCF (Fe2+ ⇋ Fe3+ and V5+ ⇋ V4+ ⇋ V3+). However, the battery shows a short cycle life (7.1% remaining capacity after 1000 cycles) due to the dissolution of VHCF. To elongate the cycle life of the battery, a high-concentration hybrid electrolyte is used to reduce the activity of water molecules. The improved battery exhibits an impressive capacity of 235.8 mA h g-1 and good capacity retention (92.9%) after 1000 cycles.

Molybdenum Disulfide-Zinc Oxide Photocathodes for Photo-Rechargeable Zinc-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Systems for harvesting and storing solar energy have found practical applications ranging from solar farms to autonomous smart devices. Generally, these energy solutions consist of solar cells for light harvesting and rechargeable batteries to match the solar energy supply to consumption demands. Rather than having a separate energy harvesting and storing device, we report photo-rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (hν-ZIBs) using a photoactive cathode composed of layer-by-layer grown zinc oxide and molybdenum disulfide. These photocathodes are capable of harvesting solar energy and storing it in the same material and alleviate the need for solar cells or power converters. The proposed photocathodes achieve photoconversion efficiencies of ∼1.8% using a 455 nm light source and ∼0.2% of solar-conversion efficiencies. Light not only allows photocharging but also enhances the battery capacity from 245 to 340 mA h g-1 (specific current of 100 mA g-1 and 12 mW cm-2 light intensity at 455 nm). Finally, the proposed hν-ZIBs also demonstrate a capacity retention of ∼82% over 200 cycles.

Zinc dendrite suppression by a novel additive combination for rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries.

Project description:With the advantages of low cost, good safety, and easy assembly, aqueous zinc batteries (AZBs) are expected to be a promising energy storage device. However, AZBs are compromised by Zn dendrites and the hydrogen evolution reaction. Herein, we use polyethylene glycol-200 (PEG-200) and benzylidene acetone (BDA) as additives in the electrolyte of AZBs in order to inhibit Zn dendrite growth and side reactions, thus improving the cycle performance of the Zn electrode. PEG-200 can be not only used as a co-solvent for BDA but also as a surfactant to achieve a uniform interfacial electric field. As a brightening agent, BDA forms a diffusion layer on the plating substrate, which increases the electrochemical polarization and nucleation overpotential, increases the number of active nucleation sites, and finally refines the grain size of the zinc deposit. The surface of the symmetric battery electrode with electrolyte containing PEG-200 additive is smooth after cycling, and dendrite formation is successfully suppressed. The Zn-Zn symmetric cell with additive-containing electrolyte has a higher nucleation overpotential and a cyclic stability for as long as 890 h (only 48 h for the unmodified symmetric cell). This is due to the adsorption of the additive on the negative electrode, which homogenizes the deposition interface and reduces the contact of the negative electrode with water.
