镶嵌于NH2-MIL-125 (Ti)衍生氮掺多孔碳中的花状超细纳米TiO2作为高活性和稳定性的锂离子电池负极材料

由于具有高安全性和优异的循环稳定性,二氧化钛(TiO₂)作为负极材料被广泛地应用于锂离子电池领域。但是较差的导电性和离子传输速率限制了TiO₂的进一步应用和发展。鉴于此,我们以花状NH₂-MIL-125 (Ti)为前驱体和硬模板,成功合成出了具有花状结构的超细纳米TiO₂/多孔氮掺杂碳片(N-doped porous carbon)复合物(记为FL-TiO₂/NPC)。过程中所制备的纳米TiO₂-金属有机构架(Ti-MOF)展现出由二维褶皱多孔纳米片堆积、组装而成的花状结构。一方面,二维褶皱纳米片包含TiO₂纳米颗粒可以增大活性物质与电解液的接触面积;另一方面,氮掺杂多孔碳基体可以提高整体复合物的导电性和结构完整性。将所获得的FL-TiO₂/NPC作为负极组装成的锂半电池, 在0.5 A·g^-1、300圈后仍有384.2 mAh·g^-1以及在1 A·g^-1、500圈仍有279.1 mAh·g^-1的比容量。进一步性能测试表明,在2 A·g^-1、2000圈长循环测试后,其仍能保持256.5 mAh·g^-1的比容量和接近100%的库伦效率。该优异的电化学活性和稳定性主要起源于材料独特的花状结构。我们的合成策略为今后制备高储锂性能的金属氧化物/多孔氮掺杂碳负极提供了一种新的思路。

Design of hierarchical and mesoporous FeF3/rGO hybrids as cathodes for superior lithium-ion batteries

Iron fluoride (FeF₃) is considered as a promising cathode material for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity (712 mAh/g) with a 3e^? transfer. Herein, we have designed a strategy of hierarchical and mesoporous FeF₃/rGO hybrids for LIBs, where the hollow FeF₃ nanospheres are the main contributor to the specific capacity and the 2D rGO nanosheets are the matrix elevating the electronic conductivity and buffering the volume expansion. The unique FeF₃/rGO hybrid can be rationally synthesized by a non-aqueous in-situ precipitation method, offering the merits of large specific surface area with rich active sites, fast transport channels for lithium ions, effective alleviation of volume expansion during cycles, and accelerating the electrochemical reaction kinetics. The FeF₃/rGO hybrid electrode possesses a high initial discharge capacity of 553.9 mAh/g at a rate of 0.5 C with 378 mAh/g after 100 cycles, acceptable rate capability with 168 mAh/g at 2 C, and feasible high-temperature operation (320 mAh/g at 70 °C). The superior electrochemical behaviors presented here demonstrates that the FeF₃/rGO hybrid is a potential electrode for LIBs, which may open up a new vision to design high-efficiency energy-storage devices such as LIBs based on transition metal fluorides.

Few-Layer MoS2 Nanosheets Encapsulated in N-Doped Carbon Hollow Spheres as Long-Life Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) has been recognized as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity, but its rapid capacity decay owing to poor conductivity, structure pulverization, and polysulfide dissolution presents significant challenges in practical applications. Herein, triple-layered hollow spheres in which MoS₂ nanosheets are fully encapsulated between inner carbon and outer nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) were fabricated. Such an architecture provides high conductivity and efficient lithium-ion transfer. Moreover, the NC shell prevents aggregation and exfoliation of MoS₂ nanosheets and thus maintains the integrity of the nanostructure during the charge/discharge process. As anode materials for LIBs, the C@MoS₂@NC hollow spheres deliver a high reversible capacity (747 mA h g⁻¹ after 100 cycles at 100 mA g⁻¹) and excellent long-cycle performance (650 mA h g⁻¹ after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g⁻¹), which confirm its potential for high-performance LIBs.     

Freeze‐Drying‐Assisted Synthesis of Hierarchically Porous Carbon/Germanium Hybrid for High‐Efficiency Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Herein, an approach is reported to prepare porous a carbon/Ge (C/Ge) hybrid. In this hybrid, Ge nanoparticles are closely embedded in a highly conductive and flexible carbon matrix. Such a hybrid features a high surface area (128.0 m² g^?1) and a hierarchical micropore–mesopore structure. When used as an anode material in lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs), the as‐prepared hybrid [C/Ge (60.37 %)] exhibits an improved lithium storage performance with regard to its capacity and rate capability compared to its counterparts. More specifically, it can maintain a specific capacity as high as 906 mAh g^?1 at a high current density of 0.6 A g^?1 after 50 cycles. The excellent lithium storage performance of the C/Ge (60.37 %) sample can be attributed to synergetic effects between the carbon matrix and Ge nanoparticles. The method we adopted is simple and effective, and can be extended to fabricate other nanomaterials.

生物质甲壳素来源丰富、廉价易得、N含量高且具有纤维结构,经高温碳化即可获得导电性良好的多孔碳材料。 杯[4]醌(Calix[4]quinone,C4Q)的理论比容量高达447 mA·h/g,但它在传统电解液中的高溶解性和导电性差限制了其在锂电池中的实际应用。 为了解决上述问题,本文以甲壳素为原料,经高温处理制得了N掺杂的无定形碳纳米纤维材料(NACF),并利用其多孔结构吸附C4Q,制备出C4Q/NACF(质量比为1:1)复合材料。 该复合材料在0.1 C电流密度下,首圈放电比容量为426 mA·h/g,循环100圈后比容量为213 mA·h/g,甚至在1 C电流密度下,C4Q/NACF复合材料仍有188 mA·h/g的放电比容量。 实验结果表明,利用NACF碳材料固载C4Q的方法可以提高C4Q锂离子电池的循环稳定性和导电性。     

Electrospun Hierarchical CaCo2O4 Nanofibers with Excellent Lithium Storage Properties

Hierarchical CaCo₂O₄ nanofibers (denoted as CCO‐NFs) with a unique hierarchical structure have been prepared by a facile electrospinning method and subsequent calcination in air. The as‐prepared CCO‐NFs are composed of well‐defined ultrathin nanoplates that arrange themselves in an oriented manner to form one‐dimensional (1D) hierarchical structures. The controllable formation process and possible formation mechanism are also discussed. Moreover, as a demonstration of the functional properties of such hierarchical architecture, the 1D hierarchical CCO‐NFs were investigated as materials for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) anode; they not only delivers a high reversible capacity of 650 mAh g^?1 at a current of 100 mA g^?1 and with 99.6 % capacity retention over 60 cycles, but they also show excellent rate capability with respect to counterpart nanoplates‐in‐nanofibers and nanoplates. The high specific surface areas as well as the unique feature of hierarchical structures are probably responsible for the enhanced electrochemical performance. Considering their facile preparation and good lithium storage properties, 1D hierarchical CCO‐NFs will hold promise in practical LIBs.     

Sulfur-doped CMK-5 with expanded lattice for high-performance lithium ion batteries

Heteroatom-doped porous carbon materials are very attractive for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their high specific surface areas, open pore structures, and abundant active sites. However, heteroatom-doped porous carbon with very high surface area and large pore volume are highly desirable but still remain a big challenge. Herein, we reported a sulfur-doped mesoporous carbon (CMK-5-S) with nanotubes array structure, ultrahigh specific surface area (1390 m²/g), large pore volume (1.8 cm³/g), bimodal pore size distribution (2.9 and 4.6 nm), and high sulfur content (2.5 at%). The CMK-5-S used as an anode material for LIBs displays high specific capacity, excellent rate capability and highly cycling stability. The initial reversible specific capacity at 0.1 A/g is as high as 1580 mAh/g and simultaneously up to 701 mAh/g at 1 A/g even after 500 cycles. Further analysis reveals that the excellent electrochemical storage performances is attributed to its unique structures as well as the expanded lattice by sulfur-doping.

Flexible lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) have recently attracted increasing attention with the fast development of bendable electronic systems. Herein, a facile and template‐free solvothermal method is presented for the fabrication of hybrid yolk–shell CoS₂ and nitrogen‐doped graphene (NG) sheets. The yolk–shell architecture of CoS₂ encapsulated with NG coating is designed for the dual protection of CoS₂ to address the structural and interfacial stability concerns facing the CoS₂ anode. The as‐prepared composite can be assembled into a film, which can be used as a binder‐free and flexible electrode for LIBs that does not require any carbon black conducting additives or current collectors. When evaluating lithium‐storage properties, such a flexible electrode exhibits a high specific capacity of 992 mAh g^?1 in the first reversible discharge capacity at a current rate of 100 mA g^?1 and high reversible capacity of 882 mAh g^?1 after 150 cycles with excellent capacity retention of 89.91 %. Furthermore, a reversible capacity as high as 655 mAh g^?1 is still achieved after 50 cycles even at a high rate of 5 C due to the yolk–shell structure and NG coating, which not only provide short Li‐ion and electron pathways, but also accommodate large volume variation.
