Core–Shell Structure and Interaction Mechanism of γ‐MnO2 Coated Sulfur for Improved Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries

Lithium‐sulfur batteries have attracted worldwide interest due to their high theoretical capacity of 1672 mAh g^?1 and low cost. However, the practical applications are hampered by capacity decay, mainly attributed to the polysulfide shuttle. Here, the authors have fabricated a solid core–shell γ‐MnO₂‐coated sulfur nanocomposite through the redox reaction between KMnO₄ and MnSO₄. The multifunctional MnO₂ shell facilitates electron and Li⁺ transport as well as efficiently prevents polysulfide dissolution via physical confinement and chemical interaction. Moreover, the γ‐MnO₂ crystallographic form also provides one‐dimensional (1D) tunnels for the Li⁺ incorporation to alleviate insoluble Li₂S₂/Li₂S deposition at high discharge rate. More importantly, the MnO₂ phase transformation to Mn₃O₄ occurs during the redox reaction between polysulfides and γ‐MnO₂ is first thoroughly investigated. The S@γ‐MnO₂ composite exhibits a good capacity retention of 82% after 300 cycles (0.5 C) and a fade rate of 0.07% per cycle over 600 cycles (1 C). The degradation mechanism can probably be elucidated that the decomposition of the surface Mn₃O₄ phase is the cause of polysulfide dissolution. The recent work thus sheds new light on the hitherto unknown surface interaction mechanism and the degradation mechanism of Li‐S cells.

“Wiring” Fe‐Nx‐Embedded Porous Carbon Framework onto 1D Nanotubes for Efficient Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Alkaline and Acidic Media

This study presents a novel metal‐organic‐framework‐engaged synthesis route based on porous tellurium nanotubes as a sacrificial template for hierarchically porous 1D carbon nanotubes. Furthermore, an ultrathin Fe‐ion‐containing polydopamine layer has been introduced to generate highly effective FeN_xC active sites into the carbon framework and to induce a high degree of graphitization. The synergistic effects between the hierarchically porous 1D carbon structure and the embedded FeN_xC active sites in the carbon framework manifest in superior catalytic activity toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) compared to Pt/C catalyst in both alkaline and acidic media. A rechargeable zinc‐air battery assembled in a decoupled configuration with the nonprecious pCNT@Fe@GL/CNF ORR electrode and Ni‐Fe LDH/NiF oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrode exhibits charge–discharge overpotentials similar to the counterparts of Pt/C ORR electrode and IrO₂ OER electrode.     

Investigation of Potassium Storage in Layered P3‐Type K0.5MnO2 Cathode

Novel and low‐cost batteries are of considerable interest for application in large‐scale energy storage systems, for which the cost per cycle becomes critical. Here, this study proposes K_0.5MnO₂ as a potential cathode material for K‐ion batteries as an alternative to Li technology. K_0.5MnO₂ has a P3‐type layered structure and delivers a reversible specific capacity of ≈100 mAh g^?1 with good capacity retention. In situ X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that the material undergoes a reversible phase transition upon K extraction and insertion. In addition, first‐principles calculations indicate that this phase transition is driven by the relative phase stability of different oxygen stackings with respect to the K content.     

3D Interconnected and Multiwalled Carbon@MoS2@Carbon Hollow Nanocables as Outstanding Anodes for Na‐Ion Batteries

Currently, the specific capacity and cycling performance of various MoS₂/carbon‐based anode materials for Na‐ion storage are far from satisfactory due to the insufficient structural stability of the electrode, incomplete protection of MoS₂ by carbon, difficult access of electrolyte to the electrode interior, as well as inactivity of the adopted carbon matrix. To address these issues, this work presents the rational design and synthesis of 3D interconnected and hollow nanocables composed of multiwalled carbon@MoS₂@carbon. In this architecture, (i) the 3D nanoweb‐like structure brings about excellent mechanical property of the electrode, (ii) the ultrathin MoS₂ nanosheets are sandwiched between and doubly protected by two layers of porous carbon, (iii) the hollow structure of the primary nanofibers facilitates the access of electrolyte to the electrode interior, (iv) the porous and nitrogen‐doping properties of the two carbon materials lead to synergistic Na‐storage of carbon and MoS₂. As a result, this hybrid material as the anode material of Na‐ion battery exhibits fast charge‐transfer reaction, high utilization efficiency, and ultrastability. Outstanding reversible capacity (1045 mAh g^?1), excellent rate behavior (817 mAh g^?1 at 7000 mA g^?1), and good cycling performance (747 mAh g^?1 after 200 cycles at 700 mA g^?1) are obtained.
