The results show that all the samples exhibit the same cubic spinel phase structure without impurity.The lattice constant and unit cell volume decrease with increasing the sodium dopant amount.As the molar ratio of sodium to manganese(x=n(Na)/n(Mn))increases from 0 to 0.03,the initial discharge capacity of the Li1.05Mn2O4 cathodes decreases from 119.2 to 107.9 mA·h/g,and the discharge capability at large current rate and the storage performance decline dramatically,while cycling performance at room temperature and 55℃are improved.The CV and EIS studies indicate that reversibility of Li1.05Mn2O4 cathodes decreases and the electrochemical impedance increases with increasing the sodium dopant amount.展开更多

It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P with a = 5.645(4), b = 7.905(5), c = 13.043(8) , α = 89.391(7), β = 80.637(7), γ = 82.845(7)°, V = 569.8(6) 3, Z = 2, C7H11NaO8S, Mr = 278.21, Dc = 1.622 Kg/m3, F(000) = 288, R = 0.0260 and wR = 0.0697. The title compound consists of one-dimensional double chains. 4-Carboxy-benzenesulfonic acid acts as a bridging bidentate ligand to link two sodium(I) ions to form a binuclear structure. Remarkably, the sodium(I) ion behaves as a metal bridge so that the binuclear structure units are connected to construct a one-dimensional double chain polymer. Furthermore, a 3-D framework is assembled through intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that this compound begins losing the free solvent molecules at 106 ℃ and decompounding completely at 580 ℃.展开更多

However, its sodium storage capability is severely limited by the sluggish sodiation/desodiation reaction kinetics. Herein, NiCo_2O_4 double-shelled hollow spheres were synthesized via a microwave-assisted, fast solvothermal synthetic procedure in a mixture of isopropanol and glycerol, followed by annealing. Isopropanol played a vital role in the precipitation of nickel and cobalt,and the shrinkage of the glycerol quasi-emulsion under heat treatment was responsible for the formation of the double-shelled nanostructure. The as-synthesized productwas tested as an anode material in a sodium ion battery,was found to exhibit a high reversible specific capacity of 511 m Ahg^(-1) at 100 m Ag^(-1), and deliver high capacity retention after 100 cycles.展开更多
