However, one of the key challenges for SCs is their limited energy density, which has hindered their wider application in the field of energy storage. Despite significant progress has been achieved in the fabrication of high-energy density positive electrodes materials, negative electrode materials with high capacitance and a wide potential window are relatively less explored. In this review, we introduced some new negative electrode materials except for common carbon-based materials and what's more, based on our team's work recently, we put forward some new strategies to solve their inherent shortcoming as electrode material for SCs.展开更多

All samples prepared by this method are hollow and hierarchical structures with the size of about 2-3 μtm, which are assembled by many primary nanoparticles (-300nm). Particle morphology analysis shows that with the increase of temperature, the porosity increases and the hollow structure becomes more obvious. Na2Li2Ti6Ol4 obtained at 800℃ exhibits the best electro- chemical performance among all samples. Charge-discharge results show that Na2Li2Ti6O14 prepared at 800℃ can delivers a reversible capacity of 220.1, 181.7, 161.6, 144.2, 118.1 and 97.2 mA h g-1 at 50, 140, 280, 560, 1400, 2800 mA g-1. How- ever, Na2Li2Ti6O4-bulk only delivers a reversible capacity of 187, 125.3, 108.3, 88.7, 69.2 and 54.8 mA h g-1 at the same current densities. The high electrochemical performances of the as-prepared materials can be attributed to the distinctive hollow and hierarchical spheres, which could effectively reduce the diffusion distance of Li ions, increase the con- tact area between electrodes and electrolyte, and buffer the volume changes during Li ion intercalation/deintercalation processes.展开更多
