Spatially Self-Confined Formation of Ultrafine NiCoO2 Nanoparticles@Ultralong Amorphous N-Doped Carbon Nanofibers as an Anode towards Efficient Capacitive Li+ Storage

The exploration of anode materials with a high degree of electrochemical utilization for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) still remains a huge challenge despite pioneering breakthroughs. Rational engineering of electrode structures/components by facile strategies would offer infinite possibilities for the development of LIBs. In this study, one-dimensional ultralong nanohybrids of ultrafine NiCoO₂ nanoparticles dispersed in situ in and/or on the surface of amorphous N-doped carbon nanofibers (NCO@ANCNFs) were fabricated by a bottom-up electrospinning protocol. By virtue of synergistic structural/component features, the obtained ultralong NCO@ANCNFs with low NCO loading (≈33.6 wt %) show highly efficient Li⁺ storage performance with high reversible capacity, high rate capability, and long cycle life. The unusual reversible crystalline transformation during cycling was analyzed. Quantitative analysis revealed that the pseudocapacitive contribution mainly accounts for the superior lithium storage of the NCO@ANCNFs. Besides, the ability of the hybrid anode to deliver competitive Li-storage properties even without conductive carbon greatly enhances its commercial applicability. An NCO@ANCNFs//LiNi_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05O₂ full battery was assembled and exhibited striking electrochemical properties. This contribution offers a scalable methodology to fabricate highly efficient hybrid anodes for advanced next-generation LIBs.     

Phase-change behavior in Si/Sb80Te20 nanocomposite multilayer films

Phase-change behavior in Si/Sb₈₀Te₂₀ nanocomposite multilayer films were investigated by utilizing in situ resistance measurements. It was found that the crystallization temperature increased firstly with increasing Si layer thickness within the multilayer films, and then remained almost unchanged at 170°C. The multilayer films have the merits of both good thermal stability and fast phase-change speed. An increase in crystallization temperature by around 95°C was observed for the multilayer films when the Sb₈₀Te₂₀ layer thickness was reduced to 3 nm. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations revealed that Si/Sb₈₀Te₂₀ nanocomposite multilayer films had layered structures with clear interfaces. The reversible phase change between set and reset states was verified in phase-change random access memory (PCRAM) cell based on [Si (1 nm)/Sb₈₀Te₂₀ (5 nm)]₁₇ multilayer film.     

Photolysis of organic pollutants in wastewater with 206 nm UV irradiation

A new-type UV light source(206 nm) was explored for the degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater for the first time.The degradation performances of triphenyltin chloride(TPTCl),dimethyl phthalate(DMP),as well as rhodamine B(RhB) were investigated.The results indicated that removal efficiency of 50 mg/L RhB,60 mg/L DMP and 120 mg/L TPTCl can reach 88.6%, 92.5%and 89.4%for 60 min,50 min and 75 min,respectively.By comparison of removal efficiency,we found 206 nm is superior to 253.7 nm UV in wastewat...     

Encapsulating Sulfur into Hierarchically Ordered Porous Carbon as a High‐Performance Cathode for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

A three‐dimensional (3D) hierarchical carbon–sulfur nanocomposite that is useful as a high‐performance cathode for rechargeable lithium–sulfur batteries is reported. The 3D hierarchically ordered porous carbon (HOPC) with mesoporous walls and interconnected macropores was prepared by in situ self‐assembly of colloidal polymer and silica spheres with sucrose as the carbon source. The obtained porous carbon possesses a large specific surface area and pore volume with narrow mesopore size distribution, and acts as a host and conducting framework to contain highly dispersed elemental sulfur. Electrochemical tests reveal that the HOPC/S nanocomposite with well‐defined nanostructure delivers a high initial specific capacity up to 1193 mAh g^?1 and a stable capacity of 884 mAh g^?1 after 50 cycles at 0.1 C. In addition, the HOPC/S nanocomposite exhibits high reversible capacity at high rates. The excellent electrochemical performance is attributed exclusively to the beneficial integration of the mesopores for the electrochemical reaction and macropores for ion transport. The mesoporous walls of the HOPC act as solvent‐restricted reactors for the redox reaction of sulfur and aid in suppressing the diffusion of polysulfide species into the electrolyte. The “open” ordered interconnected macropores and windows facilitate transportation of electrolyte and solvated lithium ions during the charge/discharge process. These results show that nanostructured carbon with hierarchical pore distribution could be a promising scaffold for encapsulating sulfur to approach high specific capacity and energy density with long cycling performance.

Comparative study of electrochemical capacitance of multi-walled carbon nanotubes before and after chopping

In the work, short multi-walled carbon nanotubes (S-CNTs) were synthesized by chopping conventional μm-long multi-walled carbon nanotubes (L-CNTs) under ultrasonication in H₂SO₄/HNO₃ mixed acids. A comparative electrochemical investigation performed in 6 M KOH solution demonstrated that a specific capacitance (SC) of ca. 14.6 μF cm⁻² was delivered by the S-CNTs with the specific surface area (SSA) of 207 m² g⁻¹, much larger than that of ca. 10.1 μF cm⁻² for the L-CNTs with the SSA of 223 m² g⁻¹, the reason for which was that S-CNTs with two open ends, due to good ion penetrability, provided more entrances for electrolyte ions to access the inner surface easily through their shorter inner pathway so as to enhance their SSA utilization and geometric SC. The surface structure disruption of S-CNTs, owing to ultrasonication and oxidation during chopping process, deteriorated their electronic conductivity and resulted in an inferior power property in contrast to L-CNTs.
