Maintaining structural stability and alleviating the intrinsic poor conductivity of conversion‐type reaction anode materials are of great importance for practical application. Introducing void space and a highly conductive host to accommodate the volume changes and enhance the conductivity would be a smart design to achieve robust construction; effective electron and ion transportation, thus, lead to prolonged cycling life and excellent rate performance. Herein, uniform yolk–shell FeP@C nanoboxes (FeP@CNBs) with the inner FeP nanoparticles completely protected by a thin and self‐supported carbon shell are synthesized through a phosphidation process with yolk–shell Fe2O3@CNBs as a precursor. The volumetric variation of the inner FeP nanoparticles during cycling is alleviated, and the FeP nanoparticles can expand without deforming the carbon shell, thanks to the internal void space of the unique yolk–shell structure, thus preserving the electrode microstructure. Furthermore, the presence of the highly conductive carbon shell enhances the conductivity of the whole electrode. Benefiting from the unique design of the yolk–shell structure, the FeP@CNBs manifests remarkable lithium/potassium storage performance. 相似文献

A yolk–shell Sn@C nanobox composite with controllable structures has been synthesized using a facile approach. The void space is engineered to fit the volume expansion of Sn during cycling. It is demonstrated that the shell thickness of carbon nanobox has substantial influence on both nanostructures and the electrochemical performance. With an optimized shell thickness, a high reversible capacity of 810 mA h g?1 can be maintained after 500 cycles, corresponding to 90% retention of the second discharge capacity. For Sn@C materials with either thinner or thicker carbon shells, significant capacity decay or a decreased specific capacity are observed during cycling. The present study sheds light on the rational design of nanostructured electrode materials with enhanced electrochemical performance for next‐generation lithium ion batteries. 相似文献

Engineering Solid Electrolyte Interphase for Pseudocapacitive Anatase TiO2 Anodes in Sodium‐Ion Batteries 下载免费PDF全文
Zheng‐Long Xu Kyungmi Lim Kyu‐Young Park Gabin Yoon Won Mo Seong Kisuk Kang 《Advanced functional materials》2018,28(29)
Anatase TiO2 is considered as one of the promising anodes for sodium‐ion batteries because of its large sodium storage capacities with potentially low cost. However, the precise reaction mechanisms and the interplay between surface properties and electrochemical performance are still not elucidated. Using multimethod analyses, it is herein demonstrated that the TiO2 electrode undergoes amorphization during the first sodiation and the amorphous phase exhibits pseudocapacitive sodium storage behaviors in subsequent cycles. It is also shown that the pseudocapacitive sodium storage performance is sensitive to the nature of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers. For the first time, it is found that ether‐based electrolytes enable the formation of thin (≈2.5 nm) and robust SEI layers, in contrast to the thick (≈10 nm) and growing SEI from conventional carbonate‐based electrolytes. First principle calculations suggest that the higher lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies of ether solvents/ion complexes are responsible for the difference. TiO2 electrodes in ether‐based electrolyte present an impressive capacity of 192 mAh g?1 at 0.1 A g?1 after 500 cycles, much higher than that in carbonate‐based electrolyte. This work offers the clarified picture of electrochemical sodiation mechanisms of anatase TiO2 and guides on strategies about interfacial control for high performance anodes. 相似文献

Yolk–Shell Structured Assembly of Bamboo‐Like Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Nanotubes Embedded with Co Nanocrystals and Their Application as Cathode Material for Li–S Batteries 下载免费PDF全文
Despite their high theoretical specific capacity (1675 mA h g?1), the practical application of Li–S batteries remains limited because the capacity rapidly degrades through severe dissolution of lithium polysulfide and the rate capability is low because of the low electronic conductivity of sulfur. This paper describes novel hierarchical yolk–shell microspheres comprising 1D bamboo‐like N‐doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) encapsulating Co nanoparticles (Co@BNCNTs YS microspheres) as efficient cathode hosts for Li–S batteries. The microspheres are produced via a two‐step process that involves generation of the microsphere followed by N‐doped CNTs growth. The hierarchical yolk–shell structure enables efficient sulfur loading and mitigates the dissolution of lithium polysulfides, and metallic Co and N doping improves the chemical affinity of the microspheres with sulfur species. Accordingly, a Co@BNCNTs YS microsphere‐based cathode containing 64 wt% sulfur exhibits a high discharge capacity of 700.2 mA h g?1 after 400 cycles at a current density of 1 C (based on the mass of sulfur); this corresponds to a good capacity retention of 76% and capacity fading rate of 0.06% per cycle with an excellent rate performance (752 mA h g?1 at 2.0 C) when applied as cathode hosts for Li–S batteries. 相似文献

This contribution describes the preparation of multifunctional yolk–shell nanoparticles (YSNs) consisting of a core of silica spheres and an outer shell based on periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) with perpendicularly aligned mesoporous channels. The new yolk–shell hybrid materials were synthesised through a dual mesophase and vesicle soft templating method. The mesostructure of the shell, the dimension of the hollow space (4~52 nm), and the shell thickness (16~34 nm) could be adjusted by precise tuning of the synthesis parameters, as evidenced by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nitrogen sorption investigations. Various metal nanoparticles (e.g., Au, Pt, and Pd) were encapsulated and confined in the void space between the core and the shell using impregnation and reduction of adequate metal precursors. The selective oxidation of various alcohol substrates was then carried out to illustrate the benefits of such an architecture in catalysis. High conversion (~100%) and excellent selectivity (~99%) were obtained over Pd nanoparticles encapsulated in the hybrid PMO yolk–shell structures. 相似文献

SiO2/TiO2 Composite Film for High Capacity and Excellent Cycling Stability in Lithium‐Ion Battery Anodes 下载免费PDF全文
In this study, partially crystalline anodic TiO2 with SiO2 well‐distributed througout the entire oxide film is prepared using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) to obtain a high‐capacity anode with an excellent cycling stability for Li‐ion batteries. The micropore sizes in the anodic film become inhomogeneous as the SiO2 content is increased from 0% to 25%. The X‐ray diffraction peaks show that the formed oxide contains the anatase and rutile phases of TiO2. In addition, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy‐dispersive X‐ray analyses confirm that TiO2 contains amorphous SiO2. Anodic oxides of the SiO2/TiO2 composite prepared by PEO in 0.2 m H2SO4 and 0.4 m Na2SiO3 electrolyte deliver the best performance in Li‐ion batteries, exhibiting a capacity of 240 µAh cm?2 at a fairly high current density of 500 µA cm–2. The composite film shows the typical Li–TiO2 and Li–SiO2 redox peaks in the cyclic voltammogram and a corresponding plateau in the galvanostatic charge/discharge curves. The as‐prepared SiO2/TiO2 composite anode shows at least twice the capacity of other types of binder‐free TiO2 and TiO2 composites and very stable cycling stability for more than 250 cycles despite the severe mechanical stress. 相似文献

Tailoring the Void Size of Iron Oxide@Carbon Yolk–Shell Structure for Optimized Lithium Storage 下载免费PDF全文
Hongwei Zhang Liang Zhou Owen Noonan Darren J. Martin Andrew K. Whittaker Chengzhong Yu 《Advanced functional materials》2014,24(27):4337-4342
High‐capacity lithium‐ion battery anode materials, such as transition metal oxides, Sn and Si, suffer from large volume expansion during lithiation, which causes capacity decay. Introducing sufficient void space to accommodate the volume change is essential to achieve prolonged cycling stability. However, excessive void space may significantly compromise the volumetric energy density. Herein, a method to control the void size in iron oxide@carbon (FeOx@C) yolk–shell structures is developed and the relationship between the void space and electrochemical performance is demonstrated. With an optimized void size, the FeOx@C yolk–shell structure exhibits the best cycling performance. A high reversible capacity of ≈810 mA h g?1 is obtained at 0.2 C, maintaining 790 mA h g?1 after 100 cycles. This contrasts with FeOx@C materials having either smaller or larger void sizes, in which significant capacity fading is observed during cycling. This contribution provides an effective approach to alleviate the volume expansion problem, which can be generally applied to other anode materials to improve their performance in LIBs. 相似文献

Nanosized mesoporous anatase TiO2 particles have important applications in high‐performance lithium ion batteries and efficient photocatalysis. In contrast to the conventional synthesis routes where various soft or hard templates are usually employed, the direct growth of uniform mesoporous anatase TiO2 nanospheres on graphene sheets by a template‐free self‐assembly process is presented. Compared to the conventional mesoporous anatase particles consisting of polycrystalline TiO2, the microstructure of obtained mesoporous anatase nanospheres on graphene sheets is single‐crystal‐like. The growth mechanism, lithium ion battery performance, and photocatalytic activity of the resultant mesoporous anatase TiO2 nanospheres/graphene composites are thoroughly investigated. In comparison to the reference TiO2, the composite shows substantial improvement in lithium specific capacity from 1 C to 50 C, and photocatalytic removing organic pollutant and hydrogen evolution. More strikingly, the specific capacity of the composite at the rate of 50 C is as high as 97 mA h g?1, 6 times higher than that of the reference TiO2. 相似文献

Bismuth (Bi) is an attractive material as anodes for both sodium‐ion batteries (NIBs) and potassium‐ion batteries (KIBs), because it has a high theoretical gravimetric capacity (386 mAh g?1) and high volumetric capacity (3800 mAh L?1). The main challenges associated with Bi anodes are structural degradation and instability of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) resulting from the huge volume change during charge/discharge. Here, a multicore–shell structured Bi@N‐doped carbon (Bi@N‐C) anode is designed that addresses these issues. The nanosized Bi spheres are encapsulated by a conductive porous N‐doped carbon shell that not only prevents the volume expansion during charge/discharge but also constructs a stable SEI during cycling. The Bi@N‐C exhibits unprecedented rate capability and long cycle life for both NIBs (235 mAh g?1 after 2000 cycles at 10 A g?1) and KIBs (152 mAh g?1 at 100 A g?1). The kinetic analysis reveals the outstanding electrochemical performance can be attributed to significant pseudocapacitance behavior upon cycling. 相似文献

A copper‐stabilized sulfur‐microporous carbon ( MC‐Cu‐S) composite is synthesized by uniformly dispersing 10% highly electronically conductive Cu nanoparticles into microporous carbon (MC), followed by wet‐impregnating S. In the MC‐Cu‐S composite, the MC host that physically confines S/polysulfides provides free space to accommodate volumetric expansion of S during lithiation, while the Cu nanoparticles that are anchored in the MC further chemically interact with S/polysulfides through bonding between Cu and S/polysulfides. The Cu loading allows the S content to increase from 30 to 50% in the carbon‐S cathode material without scarifying the electrochemical performance in a low‐cost carbonate electrolyte. At a current density of 100 mA g‐1, the MC‐Cu‐S cathode shows that Coulumbic efficiency is close to 100% and capacity maintains more than 600 mAh g‐1 with progressive cycling up to more than 500 cycles. In addition, the Cu nano‐inclusins also enhance the electronic conductivity of the MC‐Cu‐S composite, remarkably increasing the rate capabilities. Even the current density increases 10.0 A g‐1, the MC‐Cu‐S cathode can still deliver a capacity of 200 mAh g‐1. This strategy of stabilization of S with small amount of metal nanoparticles anchored in MC provides an effective approach to improve the cycling stability, Coulumbic efficiency, and S loading for Li–S batteries. 相似文献

A hierarchical, nanoporous TiO2 structure is successfully prepared by a simple in situ hydrolysis method. Used as an anode material, it achieves a sustained high lithium storage performance especially at high charge/discharge rates due to its substantially high surface area. The material shows two different major storage modes: a) bulk insertion, and b) pseudo‐capacitive interfacial storage, which is responsible for 64% of the total capacity. In order to kinetically emphasize the interfacial storage even further, we cycle the material directly at high rates, giving 302 mA h g?1 and 200 mA h g?1 of fully reversible discharge capacity at charge/discharge rates of 1 C and 5 C with very high cycle stability. We propose an overall view on the different Li insertion mechanisms of the high‐surface‐area nanoporous TiO2 and emphasize the importance of interfacial storage for electrode applications in Li‐ion batteries. 相似文献

Synchronous Tailoring Surface Structure and Chemical Composition of Li‐Rich–Layered Oxide for High‐Energy Lithium‐Ion Batteries 下载免费PDF全文
Bing Wu Xiukang Yang Xia Jiang Yi Zhang Hongbo Shu Ping Gao Li Liu Xianyou Wang 《Advanced functional materials》2018,28(37)
Li‐rich–layered oxide is considered to be one of the most promising cathode materials for high‐energy lithium ion batteries. However, it suffers from poor rate capability, capacity loss, and voltage decay upon cycling that limits its utilization in practical applications. Surface properties of Li‐rich–layered oxide play a critical role in the function of batteries. Herein, a novel and successful strategy for synchronous tailoring surface structure and chemical composition of Li‐rich–layered oxide is proposed. Poor nickel content on the surface of carbonate precursor is initially prepared by a facile treatment of NH3·H2O, which can retain at a certain low amount on the surface in the final lithiated Li‐rich–layered oxide after a solid‐phase reaction process. Moreover, a phase‐gradient outer layer with “layered‐coexisting phase‐spinel” structure toward to the outside surface is self‐induced and formed synchronously based on poor nickel surface of the precursor. Electrochemical tests reveal this unique surface enables excellent cycling stability, improved rate capability, and slight voltage decay of cathodes. The finding here sheds light on a universal principle both for masterly tailoring surface structure and chemical composition at the same time for improving electrochemical performance of electrode materials. 相似文献

Toward High Performance Thiophene‐Containing Conjugated Microporous Polymer Anodes for Lithium‐Ion Batteries through Structure Design 下载免费PDF全文

Poly(thiophene) as a kind of n‐doped conjugated polymer with reversible redox behavior can be employed as anode material for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). However, the low redox activity and poor rate performance for the poly(thiophene)‐based anodes limit its further development. Herein, a structure‐design strategy is reported for thiophene‐containing conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with extraordinary electrochemical performance as anode materials in LIBs. The comparative study on the electrochemical performance of the structure‐designed thiophene‐containing CMPs reveals that high redox‐active thiophene content, highly crosslinked porous structure, and improved surface area play significant roles for enhancing electrochemical performances of the resulting CMPs. The all‐thiophene‐based polymer of poly(3,3′‐bithiophene) with crosslinked structure and a high surface area of 696 m2 g?1 exhibits a discharge capacity of as high as 1215 mAh g?1 at 45 mA g?1, excellent rate capability, and outstanding cycling stability with a capacity retention of 663 mAh g?1 at 500 mA g?1 after 1000 cycles. The structure–performance relationships revealed in this work offer a fundamental understanding in the rational design of CMPs anode materials for high performance LIBs. 相似文献

Li4Ti5O12 typically shows a flat charge/discharge curve, which usually leads to difficulty in the voltage‐based state of charge (SOC) estimation. In this study, a facile quench‐assisted solid‐state method is used to prepare a highly crystalline binary Li4Ti5O12‐Li2Ti3O7 nanocomposite. While Li4Ti5O12 exhibits a sudden voltage rise/drop near the end of its charge/discharge curve, this binary nanocomposite has a tunable sloped voltage profile. The nanocomposite exhibits a unique lamellar morphology consisting of interconnected nanograins of ≈20 nm size with a hierarchical nanoporous structure, contributing to an enhanced rate capability with a capacity of 128 mA h g?1 at a high C‐rate of 10 C, and excellent cycling stability. 相似文献
