Outstanding Low-Temperature Performance of Structure-Controlled Graphene Anode Based on Surface-Controlled Charge Storage Mechanism

The energy and power performance of lithium (Li)-ion batteries is significantly reduced at low-temperature conditions, which is mainly due to the slow diffusion of Li-ions in graphite anode. Here, it is demonstrated that the effective utilization of the surface-controlled charge storage mechanism through the transition from layered graphite to 3D crumpled graphene (CG) dramatically improves the Li-ion charge storage kinetics and structural stability at low-temperature conditions. The structure-controlled CG anode prepared via a one-step aerosol drying process shows a remarkable rate-capability by delivering ≈206 mAh g^–1 at a high current density of 10 A g^–1 at room temperature. At an extremely low temperature of −40 °C, CG anode still exhibits a high capacity of ≈154 mAh g^–1 at 0.01 A g^–1 with excellent rate-capability and cycling stability. A combination of electrochemical studies and density functional theory (DFT) reveals that the superior performance of CG anode stems from the dominant surface-controlled charge storage mechanism at various defect sites. This study establishes the effective utilization of the surface-controlled charge storage mechanism through structure-controlled graphene as a promising strategy to improve the charge storage kinetics and stability under low-temperature conditions.     

Temperature‐Mediated Engineering of Graphdiyne Framework Enabling High‐Performance Potassium Storage

Graphdiyne (GDY), an emerging type of carbon allotropes, possesses fascinating electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties to readily spark energy applications in the realm of Li‐ion and Na‐ion batteries. Nevertheless, rational design of GDY architectures targeting advanced K‐ion storage has rarely been reported to date. Herein, the first example of synthesizing GDY frameworks in a scalable fashion to realize superb potassium storage for high‐performance K‐ion battery (KIB) anodes is showcased. To begin with, first principles calculations provide theoretical guidances for analyzing the intrinsic potassium storage capability of GDY. Meanwhile, the specific capacity is predicted to be as high as 620 mAh g^?1, which is considerably augmented as compared with graphite (278 mAh g^?1). Experimental tests then reveal that prepared GDY framework indeed harvests excellent electrochemical performance as a KIB anode, achieving high specific capacity (≈505 mAh g^?1 at 50 mA g^?1), outstanding rate performance (150 mAh g^?1 at 5000 mA g^?1) and favorable cycling stability (a high capacity retention of over 90% after 2000 cycles at 1000 mA g^?1). Furthermore, kinetic analysis reveals that capacitive effect mainly accounts for the K‐ion storage, with operando Raman spectroscopy/ex situ X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy identifying good electrochemical reversibility of GDY.     

3D Carbon Nanotube Network Bridged Hetero‐Structured Ni‐Fe‐S Nanocubes toward High‐Performance Lithium,Sodium, and Potassium Storage

Lithium‐ion, sodium‐ion, and potassium‐ion batteries have captured tremendous attention in power supplies for various electric vehicles and portable electronic devices. However, their practical applications are severely limited by factors such as poor rate capability, fast capacity decay, sluggish charge storage dynamics, and low reversibility. Herein, hetero‐structured bimetallic sulfide (NiS/FeS) encapsulated in N‐doped porous carbon cubes interconnected with CNTs (Ni‐Fe‐S‐CNT) are prepared through a convenient co‐precipitation and post‐heat treatment sulfurization technique of the corresponding Prussian‐blue analogue nanocage precursor. This special 3D hierarchical structure can offer a stable interconnect and conductive network and shorten the diffusion path of ions, thereby greatly enhancing the mobility efficiency of alkali (Li, Na, K) ions in electrode materials. The Ni‐Fe‐S‐CNT nanocomposite maintains a charge capacity of 1535 mAh g^?1 at 0.2 A g^?1 for lithium ion batteries, 431 mAh g^?1 at 0.1 A g^?1 for sodium ion batteries, and 181 mAh g^?1 at 0.1 A g^?1 for potassium‐ion batteries, respectively. The high performance is mainly attributed to the 3D hierarchically high‐conductivity network architecture, in which the hetero‐structured FeS/NiS nanocubes provide fast Li⁺/Na⁺/K⁺ insertion/extraction and reduced ion diffusion paths, and the distinctive 3D networks maintain the electrical contact and guarantee the structural integrity.     

Nitrogen‐Doped Graphene Ribbon Assembled Core–Sheath MnO@Graphene Scrolls as Hierarchically Ordered 3D Porous Electrodes for Fast and Durable Lithium Storage

Graphene scroll is an emerging 1D tubular form of graphitic carbon that has potential applications in electrochemical energy storage. However, it still remains a challenge to composite graphene scrolls with other nanomaterials for building advanced electrode configuration with fast and durable lithium storage properties. Here, a transition‐metal‐oxide‐based hierarchically ordered 3D porous electrode is designed based on assembling 1D core–sheath MnO@N‐doped graphene scrolls with 2D N‐doped graphene ribbons. In the resulting architecture, porous MnO nanowires confined in tubular graphene scrolls are mechanically isolated but electronically well‐connected, while the interwoven graphene ribbons offer continuous conductive paths for electron transfer in all directions. Moreover, the elastic graphene scrolls together with enough internal voids are able to accommodate the volume expansion of the enclosed MnO. Because of these merits, the as‐built electrode manifests ultrahigh rate capability (349 mAh g^?1 at 8.0 A g^?1; 205 mAh g^?1 at 15.0 A g^?1) and robust cycling stability (812 mAh g^?1 remaining after 1000 cycles at 2.0 A g^?1) and is the most efficient MnO‐based anode ever reported for lithium‐ion batteries. This unique multidimensional and hierarchically ordered structure design is believed to hold great potential in generalizable synthesis of graphene scrolls composited with oxide nanowires for mutifuctional energy storage.

Micro‐Supercapacitors Based on Interdigital Electrodes of Reduced Graphene Oxide and Carbon Nanotube Composites with Ultrahigh Power Handling Performance

A novel method for fabricating micro‐patterned interdigitated electrodes based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and carbon nanotube (CNT) composites for ultra‐high power handling micro‐supercapacitor application is reported. The binder‐free microelectrodes were developed by combining electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) and photolithography lift‐off methods. Without typically used thermal or chemical reduction, GO sheets are readily reduced to rGO during the ESD deposition. Electrochemical measurements show that the in‐plane interdigital design of the microelectrodes is effective in increasing accessibility of electrolyte ions in‐between stacked rGO sheets through an electro‐activation process. Addition of CNTs results in reduced restacking of rGO sheets and improved energy and power density. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements show that the specific capacitance of the micro‐supercapacitor based on rGO–CNT composites is 6.1 mF cm^?2 at 0.01 V s^?1. At a very high scan rate of 50 V s^?1, a specific capacitance of 2.8 mF cm^?2 (stack capacitance of 3.1 F cm^?3) is recorded, which is an unprecedented performance for supercapacitors. The addition of CNT, electrolyte‐accessible and binder‐free microelectrodes, as well as an interdigitated in‐plane design result in a high‐frequency response of the micro‐supercapacitors with resistive‐capacitive time constants as low as 4.8 ms. These characteristics suggest that interdigitated rGO–CNT composite electrodes are promising for on‐chip energy storage application with high power demands.     

High‐Performance Polypyrrole/Graphene/SnCl2 Modified Polyester Textile Electrodes and Yarn Electrodes for Wearable Energy Storage

Flexible supercapacitors have potential for wearable energy storage due to their high energy/power densities and long operating lifetimes. High electrochemical performance with robust mechanical properties is highly desired for flexible supercapacitor electrodes. Usually, the mechanical properties are improved by choosing high flexible textile substrates but at the much expense of electrochemical performance due to the nonideal contact between conductive materials and textile substrates. Herein, the authors present an efficient, scalable, and general strategy for the simultaneous fabrication of high‐performance textile electrodes and yarn electrodes. It is interesting to find that the conformal reduced graphene oxide (RGO) layer is uniformly and successively painted on the surface of SnCl₂ modified polyester fibers (M‐PEF) via a repeated “dyeing and drying” strategy. The large‐area textile electrodes and ultralong yarn electrodes are fabricated by using RGO/M‐PEF as substrate with subsequent deposition of polypyrrole. This work provides new opportunities for developing high flexible textile electrodes and yarn electrodes with further increased electrochemical performance and scalable production.

Ultrafast Discharge/Charge Rate and Robust Cycle Life for High‐Performance Energy Storage Using Ultrafine Nanocrystals on the Binder‐Free Porous Graphene Foam

A hierarchical architecture fabricated by integrating ultrafine titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanocrystals with the binder‐free macroporous graphene (PG) network foam for high‐performance energy storage is demonstrated, where mesoporous open channels connected to the PG facilitate rapid ionic transfer during the Li‐ion insertion/extraction process. Moreover, the binder‐free conductive PG network in direct contact with a current collector provides ultrafast electronic transfer. This structure leads to unprecedented cycle stability, with the capacity preserved with nearly 100% Coulombic efficiency over 10 000 Li‐ion insertion/extraction cycles. Moreover, it is proven to be very stable while cycling 10 to 100‐fold longer compared to typical electrode structures for batteries. This facilitates ultrafast charge/discharge rate capability even at a high current rate giving a very short charge/discharge time of 40 s. Density functional theory calculations also clarify that Li ions migrate into the TiO₂–PG interface then stabilizing its binder‐free interface and that the Li ion diffusion occurs via a concerted mechanism, thus resulting in the ultrafast discharge/charge rate capability of the Li ions into ultrafine nanocrystals.     

Smart Hybridization of TiO2 Nanorods and Fe3O4 Nanoparticles with Pristine Graphene Nanosheets: Hierarchically Nanoengineered Ternary Heterostructures for High‐Rate Lithium Storage

Today, the ever‐increasing demand for large‐size power tools has provoked worldwide competition in developing lithium‐ion batteries having higher energy and power densities. In this context, advanced anode materials are being extensively pursued, among which TiO₂ is particularly promising owing to its high safety, excellent cost and environmental performances, and high cycle stability. However, TiO₂ is faced with two detrimental deficiencies, that is, extremely low theoretical capacity and conductivity. Herein, a smart hybridization strategy is proposed for the hierarchical co‐assembly of TiO₂ nanorods and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles on pristine graphene nanosheets, aiming to simultaneously address the capacity and conductivity deficiencies of TiO₂ by coupling it with high‐capacity (Fe₃O₄) and high‐conductivity (pristine graphene) components. The resulting novel, multifunctional ternary heterostructures effectively integrate the intriguing functionalities of the three building blocks: TiO₂ as the major active material can adequately retain such merits as high safety and cycle stability, Fe₃O₄ as the auxiliary active material can contribute extraordinarily high capacities, and pristine graphene as the conductive dopant can guarantee sufficient percolation pathways. Benefiting from a remarkable synergy, the ternary heterostructures deliver superior reversible capacities and rate capabilities, thus casting new light on developing next‐generation, high‐performance anode materials.     

Constraining Si Particles within Graphene Foam Monolith: Interfacial Modification for High‐Performance Li+ Storage and Flexible Integrated Configuration

Pulverization of electrode materials and loss of electrical contact have been identified as the major causes for the performance deterioration of alloy anodes in Li‐ion batteries. This study presents the hierarchical arrangement of spatially confining silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) within graphene foam (GF) for alleviating these issues. Through a freeze‐drying method, the highly oriented GF monolith is engineered to fully encapsulate the Si NPs, serving not only as a robust framework with the well‐accessible thoroughfares for electrolyte percolation but also a physical blocking layer to restrain Si from direct exposure to the electrolyte. In return, the pillar effect of Si NPs prevents the graphene sheets from restacking while preserving the highly efficient electron/Li⁺ transport channels. When evaluated as a binder‐free anode, impressive cycle performance is realized in both half‐cell and full‐cell configurations. Operando X‐ray diffraction and in‐house X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirm the pivotal protection of GF to sheathe the most volume‐expanded lithiated phase (Li₁₅Si₄) at room temperature. Furthermore, a free‐standing composite film is developed through readjusting the pore size in GF/Si monolith and directly integrated with nanocellulose membrane (NCM) separator. Because of the good electrical conductivity and structural integrity of the GF monolith as well as the flexibility of the NCM separator, the as‐developed GF/Si‐NCM electrode showcases the potential use in the flexible electronic devices.

Sea‐Urchin‐Inspired 3D Crumpled Graphene Balls Using Simultaneous Etching and Reduction Process for High‐Density Capacitive Energy Storage

A crumpled configuration of graphene is desirable for preventing irreversible stacking between individual nanosheets, which can be a major hurdle toward its widespread application. Herein a sea‐urchin‐shaped template approach is introduced for fabricating highly crumpled graphene balls in bulk quantities with a simple process. Simultaneous chemical etching and reduction process of graphene oxide (GO)‐encapsulated iron oxide particles results in dissolution of the core template with spiky morphology and conversion of the outer GO layers into reduced GO layers with increased hydrophobicity which remain in contact with the spiky surface of the template. After completely etching, the outer graphene layers are fully compressed into the crumpled form along with decrease in total volume by etching. The crumpled balls exhibit significantly larger surface area and good water‐dispersion stability than those of stacked reduced GO or other crumple approaches, even though they also show comparable electrical conductivity. Furthermore, they are easily assembled into 3D macroporous networks without any binders through typical processes such as solvent casting or compression molding. The graphene networks with less pore volume still have the crumpled morphology without sacrificing the properties regardless of the assembly processes, producing a promising active electrode material with high gravimetric and volumetric energy density for capacitive energy storage.     

Enhanced Physiochemical and Mechanical Performance of Chitosan‐Grafted Graphene Oxide for Superior Osteoinductivity

The regeneration of artificial bone substitutes is a potential strategy for repairing bone defects. However, the development of substitutes with appropriate osteoinductivity and physiochemical properties, such as water uptake and retention, mechanical properties, and biodegradation, remains challenging. Therefore, there is a motivation to develop new synthetic grafts that possess good biocompatibility, physiochemical properties, and osteoinductivity. Here, we fabricate a biocompatible scaffold through the covalent crosslinking of graphene oxide (GO) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC). The resulting GO‐CMC scaffold shows significant high water retention (44% water loss) compared with unmodified CMC scaffolds (120% water loss) due to a steric hindrance effect. The modulus and hardness of the GO‐CMC scaffold are 2.75‐ and 3.51‐fold higher, respectively, than those of the CMC scaffold. Furthermore, the osteoinductivity of the GO‐CMC scaffold is enhanced due to the π–π stacking interactions of the GO sheets, which result in striking upregulation of osteogenesis‐related genes, including osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, osterix, osteocalcin, and alkaline phosphatase. Finally, the GO‐CMC scaffold exhibits excellent reparative effects in repairing rat calvarial defects via the synergistic effects of GO and bone morphogenetic protein‐2. This study provides new insights for developing bone substitutes for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
