Bismuth Nanoparticles Embedded in Carbon Spheres as Anode Materials for Sodium/Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) are regarded as an attractive alternative to lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) for large‐scale commercial applications, because of the abundant terrestrial reserves of sodium. Exporting suitable anode materials is the key to the development of SIBs and LIBs. In this contribution, we report on the fabrication of Bi@C microspheres using aerosol spray pyrolysis technique. When used as SIBs anode materials, the Bi@C microsphere delivered a high capacity of 123.5 mAh g^?1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g^?1. The rate performance is also impressive (specific capacities of 299, 252, 192, 141, and 90 mAh g^?1 are obtained under current densities of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, and 2 A g^?1, respectively). Furthermore, the Bi@C microsphere also proved to be suitable LIB anode materials. The excellent electrochemical performance for both SIBs and LIBs can attributed to the Bi@C microsphere structure with Bi nanoparticles uniformly dispersed in carbon spheres.     

Lithium Germanate (Li2GeO3): A High‐Performance Anode Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

A simple, cost‐effective, and easily scalable molten salt method for the preparation of Li₂GeO₃ as a new type of high‐performance anode for lithium‐ion batteries is reported. The Li₂GeO₃ exhibits a unique porous architecture consisting of micrometer‐sized clusters (secondary particles) composed of numerous nanoparticles (primary particles) and can be used directly without further carbon coating which is a common exercise for most electrode materials. The new anode displays superior cycling stability with a retained charge capacity of 725 mAh g^?1 after 300 cycles at 50 mA g^?1. The electrode also offers excellent rate capability with a capacity recovery of 810 mAh g^?1 (94 % retention) after 35 cycles of ascending steps of current in the range of 25–800 mA g^?1 and finally back to 25 mA g^?1. This work emphasizes the importance of exploring new electrode materials without carbon coating as carbon‐coated materials demonstrate several drawbacks in full devices. Therefore, this study provides a method and a new type of anode with high reversibility and long cycle stability.     

Bowl‐like SnO2@Carbon Hollow Particles as an Advanced Anode Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Despite the great advantages of hollow structures as electrodes for lithium‐ion batteries, one apparent common drawback which is often criticized is their compromised volumetric energy density due to the introduced hollow interior. Here, we design and synthesize bowl‐like SnO₂@carbon hollow particles to reduce the excessive hollow interior space while retaining the general advantages of hollow structures. As a result, the tap density can be increased about 30 %. The as‐prepared bowl‐like SnO₂@carbon hollow particles with conformal carbon support exhibit excellent lithium storage properties in terms of high capacity, stable cyclability and excellent rate capability.

h‐BN Nanosheets as 2D Substrates to Load 0D Fe3O4 Nanoparticles: A Hybrid Anode Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

h‐BN, as an isoelectronic analogue of graphene, has improved thermal mechanical properties. Moreover, the liquid‐phase production of h‐BN is greener since harmful oxidants/reductants are unnecessary. Here we report a novel hybrid architecture by employing h‐BN nanosheets as 2D substrates to load 0D Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, followed by phenol/formol carbonization to form a carbon coating. The resulting carbon‐encapsulated h‐BN@Fe₃O₄ hybrid architecture exhibits synergistic interactions: 1) The h‐BN nanosheets act as flexible 2D substrates to accommodate the volume change of the Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles; 2) The Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles serve as active materials to contribute to a high specific capacity; and 3) The carbon coating not only protects the hybrid architecture from deformation but also keeps the whole electrode highly conductive. The synergistic interactions translate into significantly enhanced electrochemical performances, laying a basis for the development of superior hybrid anode materials.

Nafion/Titanium Dioxide‐Coated Lithium Anode for Stable Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have shown great potential as high energy‐storage devices. However, the stability of the Li metal anode is still a major concern. This is due to the formation of lithium dendrites and severe side reactions with polysulfide intermediates. We herein develop an anode protection method by coating a Nafion/TiO₂ composite layer on the Li anode to solve these problems. In this architecture, Nafion suppresses the growth of Li dendrites, protects the Li anode, and prevents side reactions between polysulfides and the Li anode. Moreover, doped TiO₂ further improves the ionic conductivity and mechanical properties of the Nafion membrane. Li–S batteries with a Nafion/TiO₂‐coated Li anode exhibit better cycling stability (776 mA h g^?1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 C, 1 C=1672 mA g^?1) and higher rate performance (787 mA h g^?1 at 2 C) than those with a pristine Li anode. This work provides an alternative way to construct stable Li anodes for high‐performance Li–S batteries.

Mesoporous Amorphous Silicon: A Simple Synthesis of a High‐Rate and Long‐Life Anode Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Amorphous Si (a‐Si) shows potential advantages over crystalline Si (c‐Si) in lithium‐ion batteries, owing to its high lithiation potential and good tolerance to intrinsic strain/stress. Herein, porous a‐Si has been synthesized by a simple process, without the uses of dangerous or expensive reagents, sophisticated equipment, and strong acids that potential cause environment risks. These porous a‐Si particles exhibit excellent electrochemical performances, owing to their porous structure, amorphous nature, and surface modification. They deliver a capacity of 1025 mAh g^?1 at 3 A g^?1 after 700 cycles. Moreover, the reversible capacity after electrochemical activation, is quite stable throughout the cycling, resulting in a capacity retention about around 88 %. The direct comparison between a‐Si and c‐Si anodes clearly supports the advantages of a‐Si in lithium‐ion batteries.     

Solution Synthesis of Porous Silicon Particles as an Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries

Nanostructured silicon-based materials with porous structures have recently been found to be impressive anode materials with high capacity and cycling performance for lithium-ion batteries. However, the current methods of preparing porous silicon have generally been confronted with the requirement for multiple steps and complex synthesis. In the present study, porous silicon with high surface area was prepared by using a high yielding and simple reaction in which commercial magnesium powder readily reacts with HSiCl₃ with the help of an amine catalyst under mild conditions. The obtained porous silicon was coated with a nitrogen-doped carbon layer and used as the anode for lithium-ion batteries. The porous Si-carbon nanocomposites exhibited excellent cycling performance with a retained discharge capacity of 1300 mA h g⁻¹ after 200 cycles at 1 A g⁻¹ and a discharge capacity of 750 mA h g⁻¹ at a current density of 2 A g⁻¹ after 250 cycles. Remarkably, the Coulombic efficiency was maintained at nearly 100 % throughout the measurements.

This review provides a state‐of‐the art overview on the redox behavior of materials when used as electrodes in lithium‐ion and sodium‐ion batteries, respectively. Advantages and challenges related to the use of sodium instead of lithium are discussed.

Electrochemical Behavior of Polypyrrole‐modified SnS2 for Use as Anode Material in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

SnS₂/polypyrrole (PPy) composites were successfully synthesized by PPy modification of SnS₂ via a simple and effective solvothermal and chemical method. The microstructure, morphology, electrical conductivity, PPy content, and electrochemical properties of these materials were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), four‐point probe technique, thermogavimetry (TG), and constant‐current charge/discharge tests, respectively. The results demonstrate that PPy is tightly coated on the 3D flower‐like SnS₂ and that the conductivity of SnS₂ /PPy composites can be greatly improved by the PPy modification. The electrochemical results indicate that PPy is not involved in the electrode reaction, but it can dramatically improve the reversible capacity and cyclic performance. The recharge capacity retention after 30 cycles remained at 523 mAh/g, which is significantly higher than that of SnS₂ without modification by PPy. The better cycling performance compared to SnS₂ nanoparticles should be due to the 3D nano‐flower‐like SnS₂ particles and the modification of SnS₂ by PPy.
