金属硫化物基钾离子电池负极：储存机制和合成策略

Rechargeable potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), with their low cost and the abundant K reserves, have been promising candidates for energy storage and conversion. Among all anode materials for PIBs, metal sulfides (MSs) show superiority owing to their high theoretical capacity and variety of material species. Nevertheless, the battery performance of MSs is hindered by many factors such as poor conductivity, low ion diffusivity, sluggish interfacial/surface transfer kinetics, and drastic volume changes. In this review, the electrochemical reaction mechanisms, challenges, and synthesis methods of MSs for PIBs are summarized and discussed. In particular, the most common synthesis methods of MSs for PIBs are highlighted, including template synthesis, hydro/solvothermal synthesis, solid-phase chemical synthesis, electrospinning synthesis, and ion-exchange synthesis. During the potassium storage process, the two-dimensional layered MSs follow the intercalation/extraction mechanism, and the MSs with inactive metal undergo the conversion reaction, whereas the metal-active MSs follow the conversion-alloying reaction mechanism. Given the inherent properties of MSs and the reactions they undergo during cycling, when used as anodes for PIBs, such materials experience a series of problems, including poor ion-/electron-transport kinetics, structural instability, and loss of active material caused by the dissolution of discharged polysulfide products and the occurrence of side reactions. These problems can be solved by optimizing the methods for synthesizing MSs with an ideal composition and structure. The template method can precisely prepare porous or hollow-structured materials, the hydro/solvothermal method can alter the thickness or size of the material by adjusting certain synthesis parameters, and the one-dimensional-structured material obtained via electrospinning often has a large specific surface area, all of which can shorten the transport pathway for potassium ions, thereby improving the performance of the battery. The ion-exchange method affords difficult-to-synthesize MSs via anion- or cation-exchange, in which the product inherits the structure of the starting material. The solid-phase synthesis method makes it possible to combine MSs with other materials. Combinations with materials such as carbon or other MSs helps to provide sufficient buffer space for the volume expansion of MSs during cycling, while promoting electron transport and improving the potassium-storage properties of the anodes. Therefore, this review aims to highlight the current defects of MS anodes and explore the construction of their ideal architecture for high-performance PIBs by optimizing the synthesis methods. Ultimately, we propose the possible future advancement of MSs for PIBs.      

锂离子电池SnS2基负极材料

随着应用范围的逐渐扩大,锂离子电池对具有高比容量、长循环寿命以及优异倍率性能的新型正负极材料的需求日益迫切。SnS₂材料因具有独特的层状结构和高的理论比容量而被视作潜在的高比容量负极材料,但其也存在首次不可逆容量较大、导电率低、充放电过程中体积变化较大等问题。本文综述了SnS₂负极材料的研究历程以及最新研究进展,介绍了SnS₂负极材料的基本性质,具体论述了SnS₂电化学性能改进的相关措施,主要包括控制纳米SnS₂微观形貌、制备SnS₂/C及SnS₂/氧化物复合材料、掺杂、一体化电极以及优化粘结剂等。文章同时总结了水热（溶剂热）法各工艺参数（原料种类、浓度、比例、溶液pH值、水热温度及时间等）对制备SnS₂纳米材料及SnS₂/C复合材料形貌结构及电化学性能的影响,并对目前SnS₂材料仍然存在的问题进行了分析。研究表明,通过制备片状、花状等高比表面积的SnS₂纳米材料,可明显提升其循环性能;将石墨烯等碳材料与SnS₂复合,有助于提高材料的结构稳定性及导电性,进而改善电极的循环及倍率性能。经工艺优化后的SnS₂/graphene复合材料具有高的比容量（大于1000 mAh/g）、稳定的循环性能和优秀的倍率特性,是一种非常有研究价值的高比容量锂离子电池负极材料。     

还原氧化石墨烯改性少层剥离石墨增强石墨基钾离子电池负极稳定性

钾在石墨中嵌入电位较低,因此石墨负极可使钾离子电池具有较高的能量密度,是一种理想的钾离子电池负极材料。然而,石墨嵌钾后的体积膨胀率高达60%,导致钾离子电池的循环稳定性较差。此外,钾嵌入石墨层间的动力学过程缓慢,制约了钾离子电池倍率性能的提升。在本工作中,我们用还原氧化石墨烯(rGO)包覆剥离石墨(EG),得到一种具有协同效应的层状复合材料。一方面,以少层的EG代替石墨可以减少由于钾的嵌入/脱嵌所引起的体积膨胀和内部应力;另一方面,外层rGO可以避免EG的堆叠,这有利于加速动力学过程并在钾化/去钾化过程中稳定结构。当复合材料所用EG和GO的质量比为1 : 1时,其性能达到最优,在50 mA·g^-1的电流密度下能够提供443 mAh·g^-1的比容量;在电流密度为800 mA·g^-1时,比容量为190 mAh·g^-1,保持率为42.9%。相同测试条件下,纯EG和rGO的容量保持率仅为14.2%和27.2%。测试结果说明EG-1/rGO-1复合材料在比容量和倍率性能两个方面得到了提升。
