Booting the electrochemical properties of Fe-based anode by the formation multiphasic nanocomposite for lithium-ion batteries

Fe-based compounds with good environmental friendliness and high reversible capacity have attracted considerable attention as anode for lithium-ion batteries.But,similar to other transition metal oxides(TMOs),it is also affected by large volume changes and inferior kinetics during redox reactions,resulting in the destruction of the crystal structure and poor electrochemical performance.Here,Fe_3O_4/C nanospheres anchored on the two-dimensional graphene oxide as precursors are phosphated and sintered to build the multiphasic nanocomposite.XRD results confirmed the multiphasic nanocomposite composed of Fe_2O_3,Fe_3O_4 and Fe_3PO_7,which will facilitate the Li~+ diffusion.And the carbonaceous matrix will buffer the volume changes and enhance electron conduction.Consequently,the multiphasic Febased anode delivers a large specific capacity of 1086 mAh/g with a high initial Coulombic efficiency of 87% at 0.1 C.It also has excellent cycling stability and rate property,maintaining a capacity retention of～87% after 300 cycles and a high reversible capacity of 632 mAh/g at 10 C.The proposed multiphasic structure offers a new insight into improving the electrochemical properties of TMO-based anodes for advanced alkali-ion batteries.     

SnS2–graphene nanocomposites as anodes of lithium-ion batteries

SnS₂–graphene nanocomposites are synthesized by a hydrothermal method, and their application as anodes of lithium-ion batteries has been investigated. SnS₂ nanosheets are uniformly coating on the surface of graphene. SnS₂–graphene nanocomposites exhibit high cyclability and capacity. The reversible capacity is 766 mAh/g at 0.2C rate and maintains at 570 mAh/g after 30 cycles. Such a high performance can be attributed to high electron and Li-ion conductivity, large surface area, good mechanical flexibility of graphene nanosheets and the synergetic effect between graphene and SnS₂ nanostructures. The present results indicate that SnS₂–graphene nanocomposites have potential applications in lithium-ion battery anodes.

Natural Soft/Rigid Superlattices as Anodes for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Volume expansion and poor conductivity are two major obstacles that hinder the pursuit of the lithium-ion batteries with long cycling life and high power density. Herein, we highlight a misfit compound PbNbS₃ with a soft/rigid superlattice structure, confirmed by scanning tunneling microscopy and electrochemical characterization, as a promising anode material for high performance lithium-ion batteries with optimized capacity, stability, and conductivity. The soft PbS sublayers primarily react with lithium, endowing capacity and preventing decomposition of the superlattice structure, while the rigid NbS₂ sublayers support the skeleton and enhance the migration of electrons and lithium ions, as a result leading to a specific capacity of 710 mAh g⁻¹ at 100 mA g⁻¹, which is 1.6 times of NbS₂ and 3.9 times of PbS. Our finding reveals the competitive strategy of soft/rigid structure in lithium-ion batteries and broadens the horizons of single-phase anode material design.
