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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Sn-Doped Rutile TiO2 Hollow Nanocrystals with Enhanced Lithium-Ion Batteries Performance.

Project description:Hollow structures and doping of rutile TiO2 are generally believed to be effective ways to enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Herein, uniformly distributed Sn-doped rutile TiO2 hollow nanocrystals have been synthesized by a simple template-free hydrothermal method. A topotactic transformation mechanism of solid TiOF2 precursor is proposed to illustrate the formation of rutile TiO2 hollow nanocrystals. Then, the Sn-doped rutile TiO2 hollow nanocrystals are calcined and tested as anode in the lithium-ion battery. They deliver a highly reversible specific capacity of 251.3 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and retain ∼110 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at a high current rate 5 A g-1 (30 C), which is much higher than most of the reported work.

Dielectric properties of Y and Nb co-doped TiO2 ceramics.

Project description:In this work, the (Y0.5Nb0.5)xTi1-xO2 (x?=?0.001, 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.1) ceramics (as called YNTO) were fabricated by synthesized through a standard solid-state reaction. As revealed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra, the YNTOs exhibit tetragonal rutile structure. Meanwhile, the grain size of YNTO ceramics increased and then decreased with the increase of x value, and the largest value reached when x?=?0.02. All the YNTO samples display colossal permittivity (~102-105) over a wide temperature and frequency range. Moreover, the optimal ceramic, (Y0.5Nb0.5)0.02Ti0.98O2, exhibits high performance over a broad temperature range from 20?°C to 180?°C; specifically, at 1?kHz, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss are 6.55?×?104 and 0.22 at room temperature, and they are 1.03?×?105 and 0.11 at 180?°C, respectively.

Sulfur-doped mesoporous carbon via thermal reduction of CS2 by Mg for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes and Li-ion battery anodes.

Project description:This paper demonstrates a facile method based on vapor-solid reaction between magnesium powder and carbon disulfide vapor to produce S-doped porous carbon. The property of the as-prepared carbon is tunable by varying the synthesis temperature. The sample synthesized at 600 °C shows the highest specific surface area, suitable for supercapacitor electrodes. A high specific capacitance of 283 F g-1 in H2SO4 aqueous electrolyte is achieved. The best performance of porous carbon for a Li-ion battery anode is obtained at the optimal temperature of 680 °C. Owing to the well-balanced soft and hard carbon compositions in the material, this porous carbon exhibits a high reversible capacity of 1440 mA h g-1 and excellent rate performance.

Synthesis of Cu-Doped TiO2 on Wood Substrate with Highly Efficient Photocatalytic Performance and Outstanding Recyclability for Formaldehyde Degradation.

Project description:Photocatalytic oxidation is considered one of the most effective ways to remove formaldehyde from indoor air. However, the use of powder photocatalysts is limited by their low adsorption capacity and strong aggregation tendency. Hence, there is a need for a composite material with good cycling stability and high degradation efficiency. In the present study, a unique wood-based composite is produced by arranging Cu-TiO2 nanoparticles on porous structured wood. The porous structure of wood can adsorb formaldehyde, and the abundant functional groups on the surface can act as a reaction platform for anchoring the Cu-TiO2 nanoparticles. Cu doping facilitates electron interaction between TiO2 and Cu, promotes the transfer of charge carriers, lowers the electron-hole recombination rate, and improves the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of formaldehyde. The photocatalytic efficiency of the wood-based composites was highest (85.59%) when the n(Cu)/n(Ti) ratio was 7%. After nine cycles, the wood composites still had a high degradation rate, indicating good recyclability. Overall, this wood composite is an eco-friendly and promising material for indoor air filtration.

High electrostrictive properties and energy storage performances with excellent thermal stability in Nb-doped Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-based ceramics.

Project description:As a promising candidate material replacing Pb(ZrTi)O3 (PZT), the lead-free Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) system exhibits outstanding piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. However, the weak thermal stability of these electric properties hampers its practical applications. In this work, we designed and prepared novel Nb-doped 0.76Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.24Bi0.5K0.5TiO3 (BNT-BKT) ceramics with superior temperature stability of electric properties. Both strain as well as discharging properties of 5% Nb-doped BNT-BKT ceramics varied less than 3% and 12.5% respectively from room temperature to 160 °C, ascribed to the enlarged gap between the depolarized temperature (T d or T F-R) and the maximum dielectric temperature (T m). In addition, we investigated the impacts of Nb doping on the phase transition, dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric behaviors of BNT-BKT ceramics in detail. Temperature dependent dielectric spectrums indicated that T d decreased below room temperature with Nb modifying, revealing that the phase structure transformed from ferroelectric into ergodic relaxor. Accordingly, the maximum strain value of 0.21% and recoverable energy storage of 1.2 J cm-3 were simultaneously acquired at the critical composition of 5% Nb incorporation. Our results provide an effective means of obtaining BNT-based ceramics with simultaneously thermally stable strain and discharge properties for wide temperature actuator and capacitor applications.

Biomass-Mediated Synthesis of Cu-Doped TiO2 Nanoparticles for Improved-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Pure TiO2 and Cu-doped TiO2 nanoparticles are synthesized by the biomediated green approach using the Bengal gram bean extract. The extract containing biomolecules acts as capping agent, which helps to control the size of nanoparticles and inhibit the agglomeration of particles. Copper is doped in TiO2 to enhance the electronic conductivity of TiO2 and its electrochemical performance. The Cu-doped TiO2 nanoparticle-based anode shows high specific capacitance, good cycling stability, and rate capability performance for its envisaged application in lithium-ion battery. Among pure TiO2, 3% Cu-doped TiO2, and 7% Cu-doped TiO2 anode, the latter shows the highest capacity of 250 mAh g-1 (97.6% capacity retention) after 100 cycles and more than 99% of coulombic efficiency at 0.5 A g-1 current density. The improved electrochemical performance in the 7% Cu-doped TiO2 is attributed to the synergetic effect between copper and titania. The results reveal that Cu-doped TiO2 nanoparticles might be contributing to the enhanced electronic conductivity, providing an efficient pathway for fast electron transfer.

Highly crystalline Nb-doped TiO2 nanospindles as superior electron transporting materials for high-performance planar structured perovskite solar cells.

Project description:Planar-structured perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received tremendous attention due to their high power conversion efficiency (PCE), simple process and low-cost fabrication. A compact thin film of electron transport materials (ETMs) plays a key role in these PSCs. However, the traditional ETMs of PSCs, TiO2 nanoparticulate films, suffer from low conductivity and high trap state density. Herein, we exploited TiO2 nanospindles as a compact ETM in planar PSCs for the first time, and achieved an efficient device with a PCE of 19.1%. By optimization with Nb doping into the TiO2 nanospindles, the PCE of the PSC was further improved up to 20.8%. The carrier transfer and collection efficiency were significantly improved after Nb5+ doping, revealed by Mott-Schottky (MS) analysis, space charge limited current (SCLC), photoluminence (PL), time-resolved photoluminence (TRPL) spectra, electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) and so forth. Moreover, the hysteresis behavior was effectively inhibited and the stability was significantly enhanced. This work may provide a new avenue towards the rational design of efficient ETMs for perovskite solar cells.

Intrinsic Enhancement of Dielectric Permittivity in (Nb + In) co-doped TiO2 single crystals.

Project description:The development of dielectric materials with colossal permittivity is important for the miniaturization of electronic devices and fabrication of high-density energy-storage devices. The electron-pinned defect-dipoles has been recently proposed to boost the permittivity of (Nb?+?In) co-doped TiO2 to 105. However, the follow-up studies suggest an extrinsic contribution to the colossal permittivity from thermally excited carriers. Herein, we demonstrate a marked enhancement in the permittivity of (Nb?+?In) co-doped TiO2 single crystals at sufficiently low temperatures such that the thermally excited carriers are frozen out and exert no influence on the dielectric response. The results indicate that the permittivity attains quadruple of that for pure TiO2. This finding suggests that the electron-pinned defect-dipoles add an extra dielectric response to that of the TiO2 host matrix. The results offer a novel approach for the development of functional dielectric materials with large permittivity by engineering complex defects into bulk materials.

Solvothermal synthesis of Nb-doped TiO2 nanoparticles with enhanced sonodynamic effects for destroying tumors.

Project description:Titania (TiO2) nanomaterials have been proved to be biocompatible sonosensitizers for sonodynamic therapy (SDT) of various cancer cells, while they suffer from weak sonodynamic effects due to fast combination of excited carriers. In this work, to improve the therapeutic efficiency, we prepared PEGylated Nb-doped TiO2 (TiO2-x :Nb) nanoparticles by a simple solvothermal method and a subsequent surface modification process. The TiO2-x :Nb nanoparticles exhibited an average size of 11 nm and a polydisperse index of 0.12. The Nb doping had no obvious effect on the phase of TiO2 matrixes but released electrons to the conduction band of TiO2, resulting in high concentrations of deficiencies. As a result, the TiO2-x :Nb nanoparticles exhibited a higher efficiency of singlet oxygen (1O2) generation than that of pure TiO2 nanoparticles upon ultrasound irradiation. Importantly, the TiO2-x :Nb nanoparticles had high biocompatibility similar to pure TiO2 nanoparticles, while they could efficiently produce cytotoxic 1O2 to destroy cancer cells in vitro in comparison to the partially destroyed cancer cells by pure TiO2 nanoparticles upon ultrasound irradiation. More importantly, the TiO2-x :Nb nanoparticles displayed obvious tumor cellular injury in tumor-bearing mice in vivo through high SDT effects. Therefore, the synthesized PEGylated TiO2-x :Nb nanoparticles in this study exhibited higher therapeutic effects of SDT than that of the pure TiO2 nanoparticles, and the doping strategy would provide some insights for tuning traditional weak sonosensitizers into efficient ones.
