高容量有机正极材料杯[4]醌在离子液体中的储锂性能

选用理论容量高达446 mAh·g~(-1)的杯[4]醌(calix[4]quinone,C4Q)作为正极材料,研究其储锂性能。由于C4Q在常规有机电解液中的溶解问题会在一定的程度上限制其性能最大化,我们选用Li[TFSI]/[PY13][TFSI]([PY13][TFSI]:1-丙基-1-甲基吡咯烷鎓双三氟甲基磺酰亚胺)离子液体电解液与C4Q进行匹配组装锂离子电池,较大程度地提升了其循环稳定性和倍率性能。在0.1C的电流密度下,循环100圈后的放电比容量为280 mAh·g~(-1),1 000圈后的容量保持率高达72%。当电流密度增加至1C时,放电容量仍有154 mAh·g~(-1)。     

Cost‐Effective Biomass Carbon/Calix[4]Quinone Composites for Lithium Ion Batteries

Searching for new cheap encapsulating materials to decrease the solubility of organic small molecules as the cathode materials in electrolytes and improve the performance of organic lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) is very important and highly desirable. In this research, we found that a novel cheap biomass carbon (named as PPL), prepared by pyrolyzing calyxes of Physalis Peruviana L, can efficiently encapsulate calix[4]quinone to form composites, which can be used as cathodes in LIBs. The initial discharge capacity of the as‐fabricated battery was 437 mAh g^?1 and could maintain 228 mAh g^?1 after 100 cycles. Even at 1 C, the discharge capacity was still 217 mAh g^?1.     

杯[4]醌/N掺杂的无定形碳纳米纤维复合材料储锂性能

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。     

单壁碳纳米管提升正极复合材料杯[4]醌/介孔炭CMK-3储锂性能

将杯[4]醌(Calix[4]quinone,C4Q)通过灌注法与有序介孔炭CMK-3制备成纳米复合材料,可抑制其在常规有机电解液中的溶解。 为了进一步提升其电化学性能,本文在C4Q/CMK-3复合材料中加入单壁碳纳米管(SWCNTs),减少了CMK-3的用量,并代替导电炭黑Super-P作为导电剂,通过脱泡搅拌法制备了C4Q/CMK-3/SWCNTs复合材料。 研究表明,当m(C4Q)：m(CMK-3)：m(SWCNTs)为1：1：1时,电化学性能最佳,0.1 C电流密度下循环100圈后,电池的容量保持为238.7 mA·h/g,当电流密度增大到1 C时,放电容量仍有260 mA·h/g,这是由于SWCNTs在复合材料C4Q/CMK-3中构建了三维导电网络,增强了电极的稳定性,降低了电池内阻,从而提升了电池的循环性能与倍率性能。     

Fluorine‐Doped Antiperovskite Electrolyte for All‐Solid‐State Lithium‐Ion Batteries

A fluorine‐doped antiperovskite Li‐ion conductor Li₂(OH)X (X=Cl, Br) is shown to be a promising candidate for a solid electrolyte in an all‐solid‐state Li‐ion rechargeable battery. Substitution of F^? for OH^? transforms orthorhombic Li₂OHCl to a room‐temperature cubic phase, which shows electrochemical stability to 9 V versus Li⁺/Li and two orders of magnitude higher Li‐ion conductivity than that of orthorhombic Li₂OHCl. An all‐solid‐state Li/LiFePO₄ with F‐doped Li₂OHCl as the solid electrolyte showed good cyclability and a high coulombic efficiency over 40 charge/discharge cycles.

Interfacial Evolution of Lithium Dendrites and Their Solid Electrolyte Interphase Shells of Quasi‐Solid‐State Lithium‐Metal Batteries

Unstable electrode/solid‐state electrolyte interfaces and internal lithium dendrite penetration hamper the applications of solid‐state lithium‐metal batteries (SSLMBs), and the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Herein, in situ optical microscopy provides insights into the lithium plating/stripping processes in a gel polymer electrolyte and reveals its dynamic evolution. Spherical lithium deposits evolve into moss‐like and branch‐shaped lithium dendrites with increasing current densities. Remarkably, the on‐site‐formed solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) shell on the lithium dendrite is distinctly captured after lithium stripping. Inducing an on‐site‐formed SEI shell with an enhanced modulus to wrap the lithium precipitation densely and uniformly can regulate dendrite‐free behaviors. An in‐depth understanding of lithium dendrite evolution and its functional SEI shell will aid in the optimization of SSLMBs.     

Li3PO4‐Coated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4: A Stable High‐Voltage Cathode Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ is regarded as a promising cathode material to increase the energy density of lithium‐ion batteries due to the high discharge voltage (ca. 4.7 V). However, the interface between the LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ cathode and the electrolyte is a great concern because of the decomposition of the electrolyte on the cathode surface at high operational potentials. To build a stable and functional protecting layer of Li₃PO₄ on LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ to avoid direct contact between the active materials and the electrolyte is the emphasis of this study. Li₃PO₄‐coated LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ is prepared by a solid‐state reaction and noncoated LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ is prepared by the same method as a control. The materials are fully characterized by XRD, FT‐IR, and high‐resolution TEM. TEM shows that the Li₃PO₄ layer (<6 nm) is successfully coated on the LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ primary particles. XRD and FT‐IR reveal that the synthesized Li₃PO₄‐coated LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ has a cubic spinel structure with a space group of Fd$\bar 3$ m, whereas noncoated LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ shows a cubic spinel structure with a space group of P4₃32. The electrochemical performance of the prepared materials is characterized in half and full cells. Li₃PO₄‐coated LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ shows dramatically enhanced cycling performance compared with noncoated LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄.

Towards a Safe Lithium–Sulfur Battery with a Flame‐Inhibiting Electrolyte and a Sulfur‐Based Composite Cathode

Of the various beyond‐lithium‐ion batteries, lithium–sulfur (Li‐S) batteries were recently reported as possibly being the closest to market. However, its theoretically high energy density makes it potentially hazardous under conditions of abuse. Therefore, addressing the safety issues of Li‐S cells is necessary before they can be used in practical applications. Here, we report a concept to build a safe and highly efficient Li‐S battery with a flame‐inhibiting electrolyte and a sulfur‐based composite cathode. The flame retardant not only makes the carbonates nonflammable but also dramatically enhances the electrochemical performance of the sulfur‐based composite cathode, without an apparent capacity decline over 750 cycles, and with a capacity greater than 800 mA h^?1 g^?1(sulfur) at a rate of 10 C.

Solid‐State Electrolyte Anchored with a Carboxylated Azo Compound for All‐Solid‐State Lithium Batteries

Organic electrode materials are promising for green and sustainable lithium‐ion batteries. However, the high solubility of organic materials in the liquid electrolyte results in the shuttle reaction and fast capacity decay. Herein, azo compounds are firstly applied in all‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLB) to suppress the dissolution challenge. Due to the high compatibility of azobenzene (AB) based compounds to Li₃PS₄ (LPS) solid electrolyte, the LPS solid electrolyte is used to prevent the dissolution and shuttle reaction of AB. To maintain the low interface resistance during the large volume change upon cycling, a carboxylate group is added into AB to provide 4‐(phenylazo) benzoic acid lithium salt (PBALS), which could bond with LPS solid electrolyte via the ionic bonding between oxygen in PBALS and lithium ion in LPS. The ionic bonding between the active material and solid electrolyte stabilizes the contact interface and enables the stable cycle life of PBALS in ASSLB.     

Enabling a Durable Electrochemical Interface via an Artificial Amorphous Cathode Electrolyte Interphase for Hybrid Solid/Liquid Lithium‐Metal Batteries

A hybrid solid/liquid electrolyte with superior security facilitates the implementation of high‐energy‐density storage devices, but it suffers from inferior chemical compatibility with cathodes. Herein, an optimal lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate salt was introduced to build in situ an amorphous cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) between Ni‐rich cathodes and hybrid electrolyte. The CEI preserves the surface structure with high compatibility, leading to enhanced interfacial stability. Meanwhile, the space‐charge layer can be prominently mitigated at the solid/solid interface via harmonized chemical potentials, acquiring promoted interfacial dynamics as revealed by COMSOL simulation. Consequently, the amorphous CEI integrates the bifunctionality to provide an excellent cycling stability, high Coulombic efficiency, and favorable rate capability in high‐voltage Li‐metal batteries, innovating the design philosophy of functional CEI strategy for future high‐energy‐density batteries.     

Novel Thiazolo[5,4‐d]thiazole‐Based Organic Dyes for Quasi‐Solid‐State Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

A series of novel metal‐free organic dyes containing the thiazolo[5,4‐d]thiazole moiety were designed and synthesized for quasi‐solid‐state dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Different alkoxy chains were introduced into the electron donor part of the dye molecules for comparison. The optical, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties for all sensitizers were systematically investigated. It was found that the sensitizers with the different alkoxy groups have similar photophysical and electrochemical properties, such as absorbance and energy levels, owing to their close chemical structures. However, the quasi‐solid‐state DSSCs based on the resulting sensitizers exhibit different performance parameters. The quasi‐solid‐state DSSC based on sensitizer FNE74 with two octyloxy chains possessed the highest solar energy conversion efficiency of 5.10 % under standard AM 1.5G sunlight illumination without the use of coadsorbant agents.     

A Coated Graphite Thorium‐Ion Selective Potentiometric Sensor Based on a Calix[4]arene Bearing Phosphoryl Groups

5,11,17,23‐Tetra‐tert‐butyl‐25,26,27,28‐tetrakis(diphenylphosphinoylmethoxy)calix[4]arene ( 1 )has been used for the preparation of a graphite coated thorium ion‐selective electrode (Th⁴⁺‐ISE). The plasticized PVC membrane containing 30% PVC, 58% ortho‐nitrophenyloctylether (NPOE), 4% sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB) and 8% ionophore was directly coated on a graphite rod. This sensor gave good Nernstian responses with a slope of 15.5 ± 0.1 mV/decade over a concentration range of 1 × 10^?5 ?1 × 10^?3 M of thorium ions with a limit of detection of 7.9 × 10^?6 M. The dynamic response time of the electrode to achieve a steady potential was found to be about 15 seconds. The potential of the prepared sensor was independent of the pH variation in the range 2.3–4.0. The selectivity relative to several mono‐, di‐ and tri‐valent metal ions, i.e. Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Ag⁺, NH₄⁺, Sr²⁺, Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, La³⁺, Sm³⁺, Dy³⁺, Er³⁺ and Y³⁺ was examined. This electrode can be used for 6 months without any considerable divergences in the potential response. The sensor was successfully used as an indicator electrode for the potentiometric titration of a thorium solution using a standard solution of EDTA.
