Self-Assembled FeSe2 Microspheres with High-Rate Capability and Long-Term Stability as Anode Material for Sodium- and Potassium-Ion Batteries

Sodium- and potassium-ion batteries have attracted intensive attention recently as low-cost alternatives to lithium-ion batteries with naturally abundant resources. However, the large ionic radii of Na⁺ and K⁺ render their slow mobility, leading to sluggish diffusion in host materials. Herein, hierarchical FeSe₂ microspheres assembled by closely packed nano/microrods are rationally designed and synthesized through a facile solvothermal method. Without carbonaceous material incorporation, the electrode delivers a reversible Na⁺ storage capacity of 559 mA h g⁻¹ at a current rate of 0.1 A g⁻¹ and a remarkable rate performance with a capacity of 525 mA h g⁻¹ at 20 A g⁻¹. As for K⁺ storage, the FeSe₂ anode delivers a high reversible capacity of 393 mA h g⁻¹ at 0.4 A g⁻¹. Even at a high current rate of 5 A g⁻¹, a discharge capacity of 322 mA h g⁻¹ can be achieved, which is among the best high-rate anodes for K⁺ storage. The excellent electrochemical performance can be attributed to the favorable morphological structure and the use of an ether-based electrolyte during cycling. Moreover, quantitative study suggests a strong pseudocapacitive contribution, which boosts fast kinetics and interfacial storage.

β-MnO2/Metal–Organic Framework Derived Nanoporous ZnMn2O4 Nanorods as Lithium-Ion Battery Anodes with Superior Lithium-Storage Performance

Nanoporous ZnMn₂O₄ nanorods have been successfully synthesized by calcining β-MnO₂/ZIF-8 precursors (ZIF-8 is a type of metal–organic framework). If measured as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the ZnMn₂O₄ nanorods exhibit an initial discharge capacity of 1792 mA h g⁻¹ at 200 mA g⁻¹, and an excellent reversible capacity of 1399.8 mA h g⁻¹ after 150 cycles (78.1 % retention of the initial discharge capacity). Even at 1000 mA g⁻¹, the reversible capacity is still as high as 998.7 mA h g⁻¹ after 300 cycles. The remarkable lithium-storage performance is attributed to the one-dimensional nanoporous structure. The nanoporous architecture not only allows more lithium ions to be stored, which provides additional interfacial lithium-storage capacity, but also buffers the volume changes, to a certain degree, during the Li⁺ insertion/extraction process. The results demonstrate that nanoporous ZnMn₂O₄ nanorods with superior lithium-storage performance have the potential to be candidates for commercial anode materials in lithium-ion batteries.     

Natural Soft/Rigid Superlattices as Anodes for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Volume expansion and poor conductivity are two major obstacles that hinder the pursuit of the lithium-ion batteries with long cycling life and high power density. Herein, we highlight a misfit compound PbNbS₃ with a soft/rigid superlattice structure, confirmed by scanning tunneling microscopy and electrochemical characterization, as a promising anode material for high performance lithium-ion batteries with optimized capacity, stability, and conductivity. The soft PbS sublayers primarily react with lithium, endowing capacity and preventing decomposition of the superlattice structure, while the rigid NbS₂ sublayers support the skeleton and enhance the migration of electrons and lithium ions, as a result leading to a specific capacity of 710 mAh g⁻¹ at 100 mA g⁻¹, which is 1.6 times of NbS₂ and 3.9 times of PbS. Our finding reveals the competitive strategy of soft/rigid structure in lithium-ion batteries and broadens the horizons of single-phase anode material design.
