A rechargeable Mg|O2 battery

ABSTRACT: Summary Rechargeable Mg|O2 batteries (RMOBs) offer several advantages over alkali metal-based battery systems owing to Mg’s ease of transport/storage in ambient environment, low cost originating from its high abundance, as well as the high theoretical specific energy of RMOBs. However, research on RMOBs has been stagnant for the past decade, largely owing to unacceptably poor electrochemical performance. Here, we present a RMOB that employs Mg anode, Mg((CF3SO2)2N)2-MgCl2 in diglyme (G2) electrolyte, and commercial Pt/C on carbon fiber paper (Pt/C@CFP) oxygen cathode. This battery demonstrates unparalleled improvement over existing RMOBs by rendering a discharge capacity over 1.6 mAh cm−2, achieving cycle lives up to 35 cycles with a cumulative energy density of ∼3.2 mWh cm−2 at room temperature. This RMOB system seeks to reignite the pursuit of novel electrochemical systems based on Mg-O2 chemistries. Graphical abstract Highlights • A rechargeable Mg|O2 battery with prolonged cycle life (∼35 cycles) is demonstrated• Mg((CF3SO2)2N)2-MgCl2 in G2 enables reversible battery cycling O2 environment• A multistep discharge product formation pathway is proposed• MgO is identified as the main discharge product Electrochemistry; Materials science; Energy materials

A rechargeable Ca/Cl2 battery.

Project description:Rechargeable calcium (Ca) metal batteries are promising candidates for sustainable energy storage due to the abundance of Ca in Earth's crust and the advantageous theoretical capacity and voltage of these batteries. However, the development of practical Ca metal batteries has been severely hampered by the current cathode chemistries, which limit the available energy and power densities, as well as their insufficient capacity retention and low-temperature capability. Here, we describe the rechargeable Ca/Cl2 battery based on a reversible cathode redox reaction between CaCl2 and Cl2, which is enabled by the use of lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate as a key electrolyte mediator to facilitate the dissociation and distribution of Cl-based species and Ca2+. Our rechargeable Ca/Cl2 battery can deliver discharge voltages of 3 V and exhibits remarkable specific capacity (1000 mAh g-1) and rate capability (500 mA g-1). In addition, the excellent capacity retention (96.5% after 30 days) and low-temperature capability (down to 0 °C) allow us to overcome the long-standing bottleneck of rechargeable Ca metal batteries.

Shedding light on rechargeable Na/Cl2 battery.

Project description:Advancing new ideas of rechargeable batteries represents an important path to meeting the ever-increasing energy storage needs. Recently, we showed rechargeable sodium/chlorine (Na/Cl2) (or lithium/chlorine Li/Cl2) batteries that used a Na (or Li) metal negative electrode, a microporous amorphous carbon nanosphere (aCNS) positive electrode, and an electrolyte containing dissolved aluminum chloride and fluoride additives in thionyl chloride [G. Zhu et al., Nature 596, 525-530 (2021) and G. Zhu et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 144, 22505-22513 (2022)]. The main battery redox reaction involved conversion between NaCl and Cl2 trapped in the carbon positive electrode, delivering a cyclable capacity of up to 1,200 mAh g-1 (based on positive electrode mass) at a ~3.5 V discharge voltage [G. Zhu et al., Nature 596, 525-530 (2021) and G. Zhu et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 144, 22505-22513 (2022)]. Here, we identified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) that upon charging a Na/Cl2 battery, chlorination of carbon in the positive electrode occurred to form carbon-chlorine (C-Cl) accompanied by molecular Cl2 infiltrating the porous aCNS, consistent with Cl2 probed by mass spectrometry. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction observed the development of graphitic ordering in the initially amorphous aCNS under battery charging when the carbon matrix was oxidized/chlorinated and infiltrated with Cl2. The C-Cl, Cl2 species and graphitic ordering were reversible upon discharge, accompanied by NaCl formation. The results revealed redox conversion between NaCl and Cl2, reversible graphitic ordering/amorphourization of carbon through battery charge/discharge, and probed trapped Cl2 in porous carbon by XPS.

Ultraporous, Ultrasmall MgMn2O4 Spinel Cathode for a Room-Temperature Magnesium Rechargeable Battery.

Project description:Magnesium rechargeable batteries (MRBs) promise to be the next post lithium-ion batteries that can help meet the increasing demand for high-energy, cost-effective, high-safety energy storage devices. Early prototype MRBs that use molybdenum-sulfide cathodes have low terminal voltages, requiring the development of oxide-based cathodes capable of overcoming the sulfide's low Mg2+ conductivity. Here, we fabricate an ultraporous (>500 m2 g-1) and ultrasmall (<2.5 nm) cubic spinel MgMn2O4 (MMO) by a freeze-dry assisted room-temperature alcohol reduction process. While the as-fabricated MMO exhibits a discharge capacity of 160 mAh g-1, the removal of its surface hydroxy groups by heat-treatment activates it without structural change, improving its discharge capacity to 270 mAh g-1─the theoretical capacity at room temperature. These results are made possible by the ultraporous, ultrasmall particles that stabilize the metastable cubic spinel phase, promoting both the Mg2+ insertion/deintercalation in the MMO and the reversible transformation between the cubic spinel and cubic rock-salt phases.

Nb-Doped TiO2 with Outstanding Na/Mg-Ion Battery Performance.

Project description:The group "beyond Li-ion" batteries (Na/Mg-ion batteries) have the advantages of abundant reserves and high theoretical specific capacity. However, the sluggish kinetics resulting from large ion radius (Na+) and polarity (Mg2+) seriously limit the battery performance. Herein, we prepared Nb-doped anatase TiO2 with Ti vacancies (Nb-TiO2) through a simple solvothermal and subsequent calcination process. The Nb doping widens the channels for metal ion diffusion, and the cationic vacancies can act as ion storage sites and improve the electrode conductivity. Thus, Nb-TiO2 exhibits improved performance for rechargeable Na/Mg-ion batteries.

Solar-Driven Rechargeable Lithium-Sulfur Battery.

Project description:Solar cells and rechargeable batteries are two key technologies for energy conversion and storage in modern society. Here, an integrated solar-driven rechargeable lithium-sulfur battery system using a joint carbon electrode in one structure unit is proposed. Specifically, three perovskite solar cells are assembled serially in a single substrate to photocharge a high energy lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery, accompanied by direct conversion of the solar energy to chemical energy. In the subsequent discharge process, the chemical energy stored in the Li-S battery is further converted to electrical energy. Therefore, the newly designed battery is capable of achieving solar-to-chemical energy conversion under solar-driven conditions, and subsequently delivering electrical energy from the stored chemical energy. With an optimized structure design, a high overall energy conversion efficiency of 5.14% is realized for the integrated battery. Moreover, owing to the self-adjusting photocharge advantage, the battery system can retain high specific capacity up to 762.4 mAh g-1 under a high photocharge rate within 30 min, showing an effective photocharging feature.

A Rocking-chair Rechargeable Seawater Battery.

Project description:Seawater batteries are attracting continuous attention because seawater as an electrolyte is inexhaustible, eco-friendly, and free of charge. However, the rechargeable seawater batteries developed nowadays show poor reversibility and short cycle life, due to the very limited electrode materials and complicated yet inappropriate working mechanism. Here, we propose a rechargeable seawater battery that works through a rocking-chair mechanism encountered in commercial lithium ion batteries, enabled by intercalation-type inorganic electrode materials of open-framework-type cathode and Na-ion conducting membrane-type anode. The rechargeable seawater battery achieves a high specific energy of 80.0 Wh/kg at 1,226.9 W/kg and a high specific power of 7,495.0 W/kg at 23.7 Wh/kg. Additionally, it exhibits excellent cycling stability, retaining 66.3% of its capacity over 1,000 cycles. This work represents a promising avenue for developing sustainable aqueous batteries with low costs.

Oxygen Defects in β-MnO2 Enabling High-Performance Rechargeable Aqueous Zinc/Manganese Dioxide Battery.

Project description:Rechargeable aqueous Zn/manganese dioxide (Zn/MnO2) batteries are attractive energy storage technology owing to their merits of low cost, high safety, and environmental friendliness. However, the β-MnO2 cathode is still plagued by the sluggish ion insertion kinetics due to the relatively narrow tunneled pathway. Furthermore, the energy storage mechanism is under debate as well. Here, β-MnO2 cathode with enhanced ion insertion kinetics is introduced by the efficient oxygen defect engineering strategy. Density functional theory computations show that the β-MnO2 host structure is more likely for H+ insertion rather than Zn2+, and the introduction of oxygen defects will facilitate the insertion of H+ into β-MnO2. This theoretical conjecture is confirmed by the capacity of 302 mA h g-1 and capacity retention of 94% after 300 cycles in the assembled aqueous Zn/β-MnO2 cell. These results highlight the potentials of defect engineering as a strategy of improving the electrochemical performance of β-MnO2 in aqueous rechargeable batteries.

Solar-rechargeable battery based on photoelectrochemical water oxidation: Solar water battery.

Project description:As an alternative to the photoelectrochemical water splitting for use in the fuel cells used to generate electrical power, this study set out to develop a solar energy rechargeable battery system based on photoelectrochemical water oxidation. We refer to this design as a "solar water battery". The solar water battery integrates a photoelectrochemical cell and battery into a single device. It uses a water oxidation reaction to simultaneously convert and store solar energy. With the solar water battery, light striking the photoelectrode causes the water to be photo-oxidized, thus charging the battery. During the discharge process, the solar water battery reduces oxygen to water with a high coulombic efficiency (>90%) and a high average output voltage (0.6 V). Because the reduction potential of oxygen is more positive [E(0) (O2/H2O) = 1.23 V vs. NHE] than common catholytes (e.g., iodide, sulfur), a high discharge voltage is produced. The solar water battery also exhibits a superior storage ability, maintaining 99% of its specific discharge capacitance after 10 h of storage, without any evidence of self-discharge. The optimization of the cell design and configuration, taking the presence of oxygen in the cell into account, was critical to achieving an efficient photocharge/discharge.

Lithiating magneto-ionics in a rechargeable battery.

Project description:Magneto-ionics, real-time ionic control of magnetism in solid-state materials, promise ultralow-power memory, computing, and ultralow-field sensor technologies. The real-time ion intercalation is also the key state-of-charge feature in rechargeable batteries. Here, we report that the reversible lithiation/delithiation in molecular magneto-ionic material, the cathode in a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, accurately monitors its real-time state of charge through a dynamic tunability of magnetic ordering. The electrochemical and magnetic studies confirm that the structural vacancy and hydrogen-bonding networks enable reversible lithiation and delithiation in the magnetic cathode. Coupling with microwave-excited spin wave at a low frequency (0.35 GHz) and a magnetic field of 100 Oe, we reveal a fast and reliable built-in magneto-ionic sensor monitoring state of charge in rechargeable batteries. The findings shown herein promise an integration of molecular magneto-ionic cathode and rechargeable batteries for real-time monitoring of state of charge.
