The crystal belongs to orthorhombic, space group Pbcn with a = 12.533(4), b = 15.705(5), c = 15.200(5) A, V= 2991.8(15) A^3, Mr = 434.68, Z = 8, Dc = 1.930 g/cm^3, F(000) = 1712,μ(MoKa) = 1.492 mm^-1, the final R = 0.0410 and wR = 0.0804 for 1661 observed reflections (I 〉 2σ(I)).

However, the kinetics unbalance between anode and cathode can impede the application of LICs. Vanadium nitride(VN) with a high theoretical specific capacity(~ 1200 m Ah·g^(-1)) is a better pseudocapacitive anode to match the response of cathode in LICs. However, the insertion/extraction of Li-ions in VN's operation results in significant volume expansion. Herein, the VN/N-r GO-5composite that three-dimentional(3D) dicyandiamidederived-carbon(DDC) tightly wrapped VN quantum dots(VN QDTs) on two-dimentional(2D) reduced graphene oxid(r GO) was prepared by a facile strategy. The VN QDTs can reduce ion diffusion length and improve charge transfer kinetics. The 2D r GO as a template provides support for nanoparticle dispersion and improves electrical conductivity. The 3D DDC tightly encapsulated with VN QDTs mitigates agglomeration of VN particles as well as volume expansion. Correspondingly, the LICs with VN/Nr GO-5 composite as anode and activated carbon(AC) as cathode were fabricated, which exhibits a high energy density and power density. Such strategy provides a perspective for improving the electrochemical properties of LIC anode materials by suppressing volume expansion and enhancing conductivity.展开更多

Thanks to the unique 2D nanosheet structure and self-N doping, TCNs800 electrode exhibits superior K+storage capacity(386.3 mA h g^(-1) at 0.1 A g^(-1)), ultrafast rate performance(119.7 mA h g^(-1) at 2.0 A g^(-1)) and long-term cycling stability(122.9 mA h g^(-1) with the Coulombic efficiency of near 100% after 1000 cycles). Moreover, detailed electrochemical kinetic analysis shows that the potassium-ion storage mechanism of TCNs800 electrode has enhanced by the pseudocapacitancecontrolled behavior. This work proves an effective green and environmentally friendly MS strategy to prepare 2D biomass nanosheet materials, and provides a reference for exploring excellent electrode materials with pseudocapacitance-controlled behavior.展开更多
