Advanced Li-Ion Batteries with High Rate,Stability, and Mass Loading Based on Graphene Ribbon Hybrid Networks

To optimize the cycle life and rate performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), ultra-fine Fe₂O₃ nanowires with a diameter of approximately 2 nm uniformly anchored on a cross-linked graphene ribbon network are fabricated. The unique three-dimensional structure can effectively improve the electrical conductivity and facilitate ion diffusion, especially cross-plane diffusion. Moreover, Fe₂O₃ nanowires on graphene ribbons (Fe₂O₃/GR) are easily accessible for lithium ions compared with the traditional graphene sheets (Fe₂O₃/GS). In addition, the well-developed elastic network can not only undergo the drastic volume expansion during repetitive cycling, but also protect the bulk electrode from further pulverization. As a result, the Fe₂O₃/GR hybrid exhibits high rate and long cycle life Li storage performance (632 mAh g⁻¹ at 5 A g⁻¹, and 471 mAh g⁻¹ capacity maintained even after 3000 cycles). Especially at high mass loading (≈4 mg cm⁻²), the Fe₂O₃/GR can still deliver higher reversible capacity (223 mAh g⁻¹ even at 2 A g⁻¹) compared with the Fe₂O₃/GS (37 mAh g⁻¹) for LIBs.

Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) at present still suffer from low rate capability and poor cycle life during fast ion insertion/extraction processes. Searching for high-capacity and stable anode materials is still an ongoing challenge. Herein, a facile strategy for the synthesis of ultrathin GeS₂ nanosheets with the thickness of 1.1 nm is reported. When used as anodes for LIBs, the two-dimensional (2D) structure can effectively increase the electrode/electrolyte interface area, facilitate the ion transport, and buffer the volume expansion. Benefiting from these merits, the as-synthesized GeS₂ nanosheets deliver high specific capacity (1335 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.15 A g⁻¹), extraordinary rate performance (337 mAh g⁻¹ at 15 A g⁻¹) and stable cycling performance (974 mAh g⁻¹ after 200 cycles at 0.5 A g⁻¹). Importantly, our fabricated Li-ion full cells manifest an impressive specific capacity of 577 mAh g⁻¹ after 50 cycles at 0.1 A g⁻¹ and a high energy density of 361 Wh kg⁻¹ at a power density of 346 W kg⁻¹. Furthermore, the electrochemical reaction mechanism is investigated by the means of ex-situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. These results suggest that GeS₂ can use to be an alternative anode material and encourage more efforts to develop other high-performance LIBs anodes.     

Hierarchical Hollow-Nanocube Ni−Co Skeleton@MoO3/MoS2 Hybrids for Improved-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Improving the performance of anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is a hotly debated topic. Herein, hollow Ni−Co skeleton@MoS₂/MoO₃ nanocubes (NCM-NCs), with an average size of about 193 nm, have been synthesized through a facile hydrothermal reaction. Specifically, MoO₃/MoS₂ composites are grown on Ni−Co skeletons derived from nickel–cobalt Prussian blue analogue nanocubes (Ni−Co PBAs). The Ni−Co PBAs were synthesized through a precipitation method and utilized as self-templates that provided a larger specific surface area for the adhesion of MoO₃/MoS₂ composites. According to Raman spectroscopy results, as-obtained defect-rich MoS₂ is confirmed to be a metallic 1T-phase MoS₂. Furthermore, the average particle size of Ni−Co PBAs (≈43 nm) is only about one-tenth of the previously reported particle size (≈400 nm). If assessed as anodes of LIBs, the hollow NCM-NC hybrids deliver an excellent rate performance and superior cycling performance (with an initial discharge capacity of 1526.3 mAh g⁻¹ and up to 1720.6 mAh g⁻¹ after 317 cycles under a current density of 0.2 A g⁻¹). Meanwhile, ultralong cycling life is retained, even at high current densities (776.6 mAh g⁻¹ at 2 A g⁻¹ after 700 cycles and 584.8 mAh g⁻¹ at 5 A g⁻¹ after 800 cycles). Moreover, at a rate of 1 A g⁻¹, the average specific capacity is maintained at 661 mAh g⁻¹. Thus, the hierarchical hollow NCM-NC hybrids with excellent electrochemical performance are a promising anode material for LIBs.

Even at low temperatures of 0 °C and −25 °C, the cl-CoFe₂O₄ anode can deliver high capacities of 907.5 and 664.5 mAh g⁻¹ at 100 mA g⁻¹, respectively, indicating its wide operating temperature. More importantly, the full-cell assembled with a commercial LiFePO₄ cathode exhibits a high rate performance (214.2 mAh g⁻¹ at 5000 mA g⁻¹) and an impressive cycling performance (612.7 mAh g⁻¹ over 140 cycles at 300 mA g⁻¹) in the voltage range of 0.5–3.6 V. Kinetic analysis reveals that the electrochemical performance of cl-CoFe₂O₄ is dominated by pseudocapacitive behavior, leading to fast Li⁺ insertion/extraction and good cycling life.

Owing to their high specific capacity and abundant reserve, Cu_xS compounds are promising electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Carbon compositing could stabilize the Cu_xS structure and repress capacity fading during the electrochemical cycling, but the corresponding Li⁺ storage mechanism and stabilization effect should be further clarified. In this study, nanoscale Cu₂S was synthesized by CuS co-precipitation and thermal reduction with polyelectrolytes. High-temperature synchrotron radiation diffraction was used to monitor the thermal reduction process. During the first cycle, the conversion mechanism upon lithium storage in the Cu₂S/carbon was elucidated by operando synchrotron radiation diffraction and in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) attract research interest owing to the low cost and high reliability, but the design of cathode materials is the major difficulty of their development. The bivalent magnesium cation suffers from a strong interaction with the anion and is difficult to intercalate into traditional magnesium intercalation cathodes. Herein, an amorphous molybdenum polysulfide (a-MoS_x) is synthesized via a simple one-step solvothermal reaction and used as the cathode material for RMBs. The a-MoS_x cathode provides a high capacity (185 mAh g⁻¹) and a good rate performance (50 mAh g⁻¹ at 1000 mA g⁻¹), which are much superior compared with crystalline MoS₂ and demonstrate the privilege of amorphous RMB cathodes. A mechanism study demonstrates both of molybdenum and sulfur undergo redox reactions and contribute to the capacity. Further optimizations indicate low-temperature synthesis would favor the magnesium storage performance of a-MoS_x.

Boosting Fe Cationic Vacancies with Graphdiyne to Enhance Exceptional Pseudocapacitive Lithium Intercalation

Modulating the electronic structure of electrode materials at atomic level is the key to controlling electrodes with outstanding rate capability. On the basis of modulating the iron cationic vacancies (IV) and electronic structure of materials, we proposed the method of preparing graphdiyne/ferroferric oxide heterostructure (IV-GDY-FO) as anode materials. The goal is to motivate lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) toward ultra-high capacity, superior cyclic stability, and excellent rate performance. The graphdiyne is used as carriers to disperse Fe₃O₄ uniformly without agglomeration and induce high valence of Fe with reducing the energy in the system. The presence of Fe vacancy could regulate the charge distribution around vacancies and adjacent atoms, leading to facilitate electronic transportation, enlarge the lithium-ion diffusion, and decrease Li⁺ diffusion barriers, and thus displaying significant pseudocapacitive process and advantageous lithium-ion storage. The optimized electrode IV-GDY-FO reveals a capacity of 2084.1 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1 C, superior cycle stability and rate performance with a high specific capacity of 1057.4 mAh g⁻¹ even at 10 C.     

Recent advancements in LiCoPO4 cathodes using electrolyte additives

Olivine-type LiCoPO₄ proves its intriguing electrochemical properties as a highly valuable voltage cathode material for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIB) with the benefits of a high operating potential of ～4.8 V versus Li and a high theoretical capacity of ～167 mAh g^?1. However, several limitations in attaining high coulombic efficiency, good rate capability, and long cycle stability need to be improved before implementing into commercial applications. Thus, various strategies involve advancing the LiCoPO₄ performances via synthesis routes, surface modification, doping with iso- and alio-valent substitutions, etc., to achieve competitive performance with other commercial cathodes. Apart from these strategies, suitable electrolytes and additives are equally important to alleviate the electrolyte oxidation at high voltages to develop next-generation LIBs. In this work, we summarize the structural and physical properties of LiCoPO₄ with information about the strategies to enhance the performance of LiCoPO₄ in the beginning and discuss the method of electrolyte optimization using various additives in detail. Future perspectives dictate the important insights into practical issues that can accelerate the progress of LiCoPO₄-based LIBs in energy storage applications toward practical use.     

Revealing the Reaction and Fading Mechanism of FeSe2 Cathodes for Rechargeable Magnesium Batteries

Rechargeable Mg batteries (RMBs) are advantageous large-scale energy-storage devices because of the high abundance and high safety, but exploring high-performance cathodes remains the largest difficulty for their development. Compared with oxides and sulfides, selenides show better Mg-storage performance because the weaker interaction with the Mg²⁺ cation favors fast kinetics. Herein, nanorod-like FeSe₂ was synthesized and investigated as a cathode for RMBs. Compared with microspheres and microparticles, nanorods exhibit higher capacity and better rate capability with a smaller particle size. The FeSe₂ nanorods show a high capacity of 191 mAh g⁻¹ at 50 mA g⁻¹ and a good rate performance of 39 mAh g⁻¹ at 1000 mA g⁻¹. Ex situ characterizations demonstrate the Mg²⁺ intercalation mechanism for FeSe₂, and a slight conversion reaction occurs on the surface of the particles. The capacity fading is mainly because of the dissolution of Fe²⁺, which is caused by the reaction between Fe²⁺ and Cl⁻ of the electrolyte during the charge process on the surface of the particles. The surface of FeSe₂ is mainly selenium after long cycling, which may also dissolve in the electrolyte during cycling. The present work develops a new type of Mg²⁺ intercalation cathode for RMBs. More importantly, the fading mechanism revealed herein has considered the specificity of Mg battery electrolyte and would assist a better understanding of selenide cathodes for RMBs.

The optimal 2D-COF electrode achieves a high specific capacity of 132 mAh g⁻¹. Notably, the electrode presents long-term cycling stability (with a negligible ≈0.0007 % capacity decay per cycle), outperforming early reported organic RAB cathodes. 2D-COFs integrate n-type imide and p-type triazine active centres into the periodic porous polymer skeleton. With multiple characterizations, we elucidate the unique Faradaic reaction of the 2D-COF electrode, which involves AlCl²⁺ and AlCl₄⁻ dual-ions as charge carriers. This work paves the avenue toward novel organic cathodes in RABs.

Modulation of the ligands and coordination environment of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been an effective and relatively unexplored avenue for improving the anode performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this study, three MOFs are synthesized, namely, M₄(o-TTFOB)(bpm)₂(H₂O)₂ (where M is Mn, Zn, and Cd; o-H₈TTFOB is ortho-tetrathiafulvalene octabenzoate; and bpm is 2,2′-bipyrimidine), based on a new ligand o-H₈TTFOB with two adjacent carboxylates on one phenyl, which allows us to establish the impact of metal coordination on the performance of these MOFs as anode materials in LIBs. Mn-o-TTFOB and Zn-o-TTFOB, with two more uncoordinated oxygen atoms from o-TTFOB⁸⁻, show higher reversible specific capacities of 1249 mAh g⁻¹ and 1288 mAh g⁻¹ under 200 mA g⁻¹ after full activation. In contrast, Cd-o-TTFOB shows a reversible capacity of 448 mAh g⁻¹ under the same condition due to the lack of uncoordinated oxygen atoms. Crystal structure analysis, cyclic voltammetry measurements of the half-cell configurations, and density functional theory calculations have been performed to explain the lithium storage mechanism, diffusion kinetics, and structure-function relationship. This study demonstrates the advantages of MOFs with high designability in the fabrication of LIBs.
