锂离子蓄电池正极材料LiMn2-x-y-zTlxAlyMzO4(M=Co、Cr、Ni)的合成及电化学性能研究

采用同时掺杂Tl、Al和M(M=Co、Cr和Ni)三种金属原子和改进固相反应的方法合成了复合尖晶石正极材料 LiMn_2-x-y-zTl_xAl_yM_zO₄，并采用XRD、SEM、TEM、循环伏安和电化学测试考察了它的物理性质和电化学性能。结果表明，所合成的正极材料具有与母体LiMn₂O₄尖晶石同样完整的尖晶石结构，规则的形貌和均匀的粒径分布。当M为Co和Cr时，目标材料的平均粒径约800nm，且具有良好的电化学性能，其首次充电容量分别为123.70mAh·g^-1和121.30mAh·g^-1，首次放电容量分别为117.30mAh·g^-1和115.70mAh·g^-1。当M为Ni时，材料的电化学性能相对较差。循环伏安和充放电曲线表明该正极材料的充放电分别为两步脱锂和插锂机理。当Li掺杂量较小时，目标材料在充放电过程中均各有两个平台。随着Li掺杂量的增加，充放电平台有由两个逐渐转变为一个的趋势。当M为Co或Cr时，该正极材料不仅拥有较高的比容量和常温循环稳定性能，而且还具有较优良的高温循环稳定性能，这可能主要归因于三种金属的协同作用使目标材料的结构更加稳定，这也使该材料有可能成为电动车电池的较佳正极材料。     

Foamlike Porous Spinel MnxCo3−xO4 Material Derived from Mn3[Co(CN)6]2⋅nH2O Nanocubes: A Highly Efficient Anode Material for Lithium Batteries

A new facile strategy has been designed to fabricate spinel Mn_xCo_3?xO₄ porous nanocubes, which involves a morphology‐conserved and pyrolysis‐induced transformation of Prussian Blue Analogue Mn₃[Co(CN)₆]₂ ? nH₂O perfect nanocubes. Owing to the release of CO₂ and N_xO_y in the process of interdiffusion, this strategy can overcome to a large extent the disadvantage of the traditional ceramic route for synthesis of spinels, and Mn_xCo_3?xO₄ with foamlike porous nanostructure is effectively obtained. Importantly, when evaluated as an electrode material for lithium‐ion batteries, the foamlike Mn_xCo_3?xO₄ porous nanocubes display high specific discharge capacity and excellent rate capability. The improved electrochemical performance is attributed to the beneficial features of the particular foamlike porous nanostructure and large surface area, which reduce the diffusion length for Li⁺ ions and enhance the structural integrity with sufficient void space for buffering the volume variation during the Li⁺ insertion/extraction.     

Cyano-bridged hexanuclear Fe4M2 (M = Ni, Co, Mn) clusters: spin-canted antiferromagnetic ordering of Fe4Ni2 cluster

Heterobimetallic hexanuclear cyano-bridged complexes, [{Fe(Tp)(CN)3}4{M(MeCN)(H2O)2}(2)].10H2O.2MeCN [M = Ni (1), Co (2), Mn (3); Tp = hydrotris(1-pyrazolyl)borate], have been synthesized in H2O-MeCN solution. Complexes 1-3 are isostructural and hexanuclear with [{Fe(Tp)(CN)3}4{M(MeCN)(H2O)2}2] units linked by hydrogen bonds to form a 2D-structure in the solid state. Complex 1 is a canted antiferromagnet that undergoes a field-induced spin-flop-like transition at approximately 1 T and 2 K. At 4.45 K 1 has a transition to paramagnetic state of noninteracting S = 4 magnetic clusters. However, 2 and 3 show antiferromagnetic intracluster coupling. Facile loss of solvent from 2 alters the local symmetry resulting in changing the intracluster interaction from antiferro- to ferromagnetic.     

Magnetic interactions in the oxide systems LaNi1−xMxO3 (M = Cr,Fe, or Co)

Magnetic susceptibilities of several members of the series of oxides of the general formula LaNi_1?xM_xO₃ (M = Cr, Fe, or Co) are reported. The oxides show evidence for interesting ferrimagnetic (Cr and Co) and antiferromagnetic (Fe) interactions.

Transition Metal (Mn,Fe, Co,Ni)‐Doped Graphene Hybrids for Electrocatalysis

The development of electrocatalysts is crucial for renewable energy applications. Metal‐doped graphene hybrid materials have been explored for this purpose, however, with much focus on noble metals, which are limited by their low availability and high costs. Transition metals may serve as promising alternatives. Here, transition metal‐doped graphene hybrids were synthesized by a simple and scalable method. Metal‐doped graphite oxide precursors were thermally exfoliated in either hydrogen or nitrogen atmosphere; by changing exfoliation atmospheres from inert to reductive, we produced materials with different degrees of oxidation. Effects of the presence of metal nanoparticles and exfoliation atmosphere on the morphology and electrocatalytic activity of the hybrid materials were investigated using electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. Doping of graphene with transition metal nanoparticles of the 4th period significantly influenced the electrocatalysis of compounds important in energy production and storage applications, with hybrid materials exfoliated in nitrogen atmosphere displaying superior performance over those exfoliated in hydrogen atmosphere. Moreover, nickel‐doped graphene hybrids displayed outstanding electrocatalytic activities towards reduction of O₂ when compared to bare graphenes. These findings may be exploited in the research field of renewable energy.     

Crystal structures and spectroscopic characterization of MBr2(CNXyl)n (M = Fe and Co,n = 4; M = Ni,n = 2; Xyl = 2,6‐dimethylphenyl), and of formally zero‐valent iron as a cocrystal of Fe(CNXyl)5 and Fe2(CNXyl)9

Structures and spectroscopic characterization of the divalent complexes cis‐dibromidotetrakis(2,6‐dimethylphenyl isocyanide)iron(II) dichloromethane 0.771‐solvate, [FeBr₂(C₉H₉N)₄]·0.771CH₂Cl₂ or cis‐FeBr₂(CNXyl)₄·0.771CH₂Cl₂ (Xyl = 2,6‐dimethylphenyl), trans‐dibromidotetrakis(2,6‐dimethylphenyl isocyanide)iron(II), [FeBr₂(C₉H₉N)₄] or trans‐FeBr₂(CNXyl)₄, trans‐dibromidotetrakis(2,6‐dimethylphenyl isocyanide)cobalt(II), [CoBr₂(C₉H₉N)₄] or trans‐CoBr₂(CNXyl)₄, and trans‐dibromidobis(2,6‐dimethylphenyl isocyanide)nickel(II), [NiBr₂(C₉H₉N)₂] or trans‐NiBr₂(CNXyl)₂, are presented. Additionally, crystals grown from a cold diethyl ether solution of zero‐valent Fe(CNXyl)₅ produced a structure containing a cocrystallization of mononuclear Fe(CNXyl)₅ and the previously unknown dinuclear [Fe(CNXyl)₃]₂(μ₂‐CNXyl)₃, namely pentakis(2,6‐dimethylphenyl isocyanide)iron(0) tris(μ₂‐2,6‐dimethylphenyl isocyanide)bis[tris(2,6‐dimethylphenyl isocyanide)iron(0)], [Fe(C₉H₉N)₅][Fe₂(C₉H₉N)₉]. The (M)C—N—C(Xyl) angles of the isocyanide ligand are nearly linear for the metals in the +2 oxidation state, for which the ligands function essentially as pure donors. The νCN stretching frequencies for these divalent metal isocyanides are at or above that of the free ligand. Relative to Fe^II, in the structure containing iron in the formally zero‐valent oxidation state, the Fe—C bond lengths have shortened, the C[triple‐bond]N bond lengths have elongated, the (M)C—N—C(Xyl) angles of the terminal CNXyl ligands are more bent, and the νCN stretching frequencies have shifted to lower energies, all indicative of substantial M(dπ)→π* backbonding.     

Synthesis,Properties, and Application of Tetrakis(pentafluoroethyl)gallate, [Ga(C2F5)4]−

Weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) are important for academic reasons as well as for technical applications. Tetrakis(pentafluoroethyl)gallate, [Ga(C₂F₅)₄]^?, a new WCA, is accessible by treatment of [GaCl₃(dmap)] (dmap=4‐dimethylaminopyridine) with LiC₂F₅. The anion [Ga(C₂F₅)₄]^? proved to be reluctant towards deterioration by aqueous hydrochloric acid or lithium hydroxide. Various salts of [Ga(C₂F₅)₄]^? were synthesized with cations such as [PPh₄]⁺, [CPh₃]⁺, [(O₂H₅)₂(OH₂)₂]²⁺, and [Li(dec)₂]⁺ (dec=diethyl carbonate). Thermolysis of [(O₂H₅)₂(OH₂)₂][Ga(C₂F₅)₄]₂ gives rise to a dihydrate of tris(pentafluoroethyl)gallane, [Ga(C₂F₅)₃(OH₂)₂]. All products were characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, X‐ray diffraction, and elemental analysis. Furthermore, an outlook for the application of [Li(dec)₂][Ga(C₂F₅)₄] as a conducting salt in lithium‐ion batteries is presented.     

Untersuchungen an elektronenleitenden Oxidsystemen. XXIII. Struktur und Eigenschaften stabiler Spinelle in den Reihen MzNiMn2−ZO4 (M=Li,Fe)

Investigations on Electronically Conducting Oxide Systems. XXIII. Structure and Properties of Stable Spinells in the Series M_ZNiMn_2?ZO₄ (M=Li, Fe) . Preparation and properties of the spinel compounds Li_ZNiMn_2?ZO₄ (0 ? Z ? 2/3) and Fe_ZNiMn_2?ZO₄ (0 ? Z ? 1) are reported. Compounds of the series Zn_ZNiMn_2?ZO₄ are involved. Different from the initial compound NiMn₂O₄ ( Z=0), the spinels with Z ≥ 1/6 submitted to annealing at 400?500°C appear to be in the thermodynamically stable state. For M=Li and Zn the upper limit of thermal stability of the compounds becomes reduced which, however, is not valid for the series with M=Fe. The alterations are interpreted in view of structural chemistry. The electrical properties are discussed in the frame of the polaron hopping model in close relation with the cationic distribution.     

Synthesis and characterization of (smif)2M(n) (n = 0, M = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru; n = +1, M = Cr, Mn, Co, Rh, Ir; smif =1,3-di-(2-pyridyl)-2-azaallyl)

A series of Werner complexes featuring the tridentate ligand smif, that is, 1,3-di-(2-pyridyl)-2-azaallyl, have been prepared. Syntheses of (smif)(2)M (1-M; M = Cr, Fe) were accomplished via treatment of M(NSiMe(3))(2)(THF)(n) (M = Cr, n = 2; Fe, n = 1) with 2 equiv of (smif)H (1,3-di-(2-pyridyl)-2-azapropene); ortho-methylated ((o)Mesmif)(2)Fe (2-Fe) and ((o)Me(2)smif)(2)Fe (3-Fe) were similarly prepared. Metatheses of MX(2) variants with 2 equiv of Li(smif) or Na(smif) generated 1-M (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Ru). Metathesis of VCl(3)(THF)(3) with 2 Li(smif) with a reducing equiv of Na/Hg present afforded 1-V, while 2 Na(smif) and IrCl(3)(THF)(3) in the presence of NaBPh(4) gave [(smif)(2)Ir]BPh(4) (1(+)-Ir). Electrochemical experiments led to the oxidation of 1-M (M = Cr, Mn, Co) by AgOTf to produce [(smif)(2)M]OTf (1(+)-M), and treatment of Rh(2)(O(2)CCF(3))(4) with 4 equiv Na(smif) and 2 AgOTf gave 1(+)-Rh. Characterizations by NMR, EPR, and UV-vis spectroscopies, SQUID magnetometry, X-ray crystallography, and DFT calculations are presented. Intraligand (IL) transitions derived from promotion of electrons from the unique CNC(nb) (nonbonding) orbitals of the smif backbone to ligand π*-type orbitals are intense (ε ≈ 10,000-60,000 M(-1)cm(-1)), dominate the UV-visible spectra, and give crystals a metallic-looking appearance. High energy K-edge spectroscopy was used to show that the smif in 1-Cr is redox noninnocent, and its electron configuration is best described as (smif(-))(smif(2-))Cr(III); an unusual S = 1 EPR spectrum (X-band) was obtained for 1-Cr.     

The interaction of alkaline solutions of potassium borohydride with LaNi4.5M0.5 (M = Ni,Mn, Cr,Co, Fe,Cu, Al) intermetallic compounds

The behavior of LaNi_4.5M_0.5 (M = Ni, Mn, Cc Co, Fe, Cu, Al) interinctallic compounds (IMC) in alkaline solutions of KBH₄ (0.1; 1.0; 4.0 mol L^–1 KOH) Was investigated in the temperature range 298–318 K. The catalytic hydrolysis of KBH₄ is zero order with respect to KBH₄ and not order with respect to IMC. Activation energies of the catalytic hydrolysis of KBH₄ in the presence of' IMC are in the range of 60–65 U mol^–1. The rate of hydrolysis of KBH₄ increases with the concentration of the KOH solution. The hydrogenation of LaNi_4.5M_0.5 in alkaline solutions of KBH₄ yields -hybride phases for M = Min, Cr, Co, Cu, Al and -hybride phases for M = Ni, Fe.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Magnetic Susceptibilities of ThM2X2 Compounds (M = Cr,Mn, Fe,Co, Ni and Cu; X = Si and Ge)

Magnetic susceptibilities of a series of ternary intermetallic compounds of the general composition ThM₂X₂(M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu; X = Si and Ge) were determined by means of FARADAY method in the temperature interval 100–570°K. The results confirm the previously proposed magnetic behaviour of these compounds, based on the observation of the basic crystallographic parameters as a function of the atomic number of the transition metal element. The compounds were found to be alternatively ferromagnetics and antiferromagnetics depending on the atomic number of the transition metal atom.     

A Room-Temperature and Microwave Synthesis of M-Doped ZnO (M=Co,Cr, Fe,Mn &; Ni)

A room temperature and microwave method for the preparation M-Doped ZnO, where M=Co, Cr, Fe, Mn & Ni, is described. X-ray diffraction of the synthesized samples shows a single phase ZnO structure without any indication of the dopant. Magnetic studies of the as prepared samples show it to be paramagnetic. However, hydrogenation of particular samples at 573 K for 6 h resulted in transforming the samples to a room temperature ferromagnet.     

Two‐Step Thermal Spin Transition and LIESST Relaxation of the Polymeric Spin‐Crossover Compounds Fe(X‐py)2[Ag(CN)2]2 (X=H, 3‐methyl, 4‐methyl, 3,4‐dimethyl, 3‐Cl)

In the series of polymeric spin‐crossover compounds Fe(X‐py)₂[Ag(CN)₂)]₂ (py=pyridine, X=H, 3‐Cl, 3‐methyl, 4‐methyl, 3,4‐dimethyl), magnetic and calorimetric measurements have revealed that the conversion from the high‐spin (HS) to the low‐spin (LS) state occurs by two‐step transitions for three out of five members of the family (X=H, 4‐methyl, and X=3,4‐dimethyl). The two other compounds (X=3‐Cl and 3‐methyl) show respectively an incomplete spin transition and no transition at all, the latter remaining in the HS state in the whole temperature range. The spin‐crossover behaviour of the compound undergoing two‐step transitions is well described by a thermodynamic model that considers both steps. Calculations with this model show low cooperativity in this type of systems. Reflectivity and photomagnetic experiments reveal that all of the compounds except that with X=3‐methyl undergo light‐induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) at low temperatures. Isothermal HS‐to‐LS relaxation curves at different temperatures support the low‐cooperativity character by following an exponential decay law, although in the thermally activated regime and for aX=H and X=3,4‐dimethyl the behaviour is well described by a double exponential function in accordance with the two‐step thermal spin transition. The thermodynamic parameters determined from this isothermal analysis were used for simulation of thermal relaxation curves, which nicely reproduce the experimental data.
