Herein, we report a novel anthraquinone derivative, C_(14)H_6 O_4 Na_2 composited with carbon nanotube(C_(14)H_6 O_4 Na_2-CNT), used as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries in etherbased electrolyte. The C_(14)H_6 O_4 Na_2-CNT electrode delivers a reversible capacity of 173 mAh g^(-1) and an ultra-high initial Coulombic efficiency of 98% at the rate of 0.1 C. The capacity retention is 82% after 50 cycles at 0.2 C and a good rate capability is displayed at 2 C.Furthermore, the average Na insertion voltage of 1.27 V vs. Na^+/Na makes it a unique and safety battery material, which would avoid Na plating and formation of solid electrolyte interface. Our contribution provides new insights for designing developed organic anode materials with high initial Coulombic efficiency and improved safety capability for sodium-ion batteries.展开更多

The poor conductivity and huge volume change during charge/ discharge, however, restrict the commercialization of metal oxide anode material. In this work, we design a novel Cu-SnO2 composite derived from Cu6Sn5 alloy with three dimensional （3D） metal cluster conducting architecture. The novel Cu structure penetrates in the composite particles inducing high conductivity and space-confined SnO2, which restrict the pulverization of SnO2 during lithiation/ delithiation process. The optimized Cu-SnO2 composite anode delivers an initial discharge capacity of 933.7 mA h/g and retains a capacity of 536.1 mA h/g after 200 cycles, at 25℃ and a rate of 100 mA/g. Even at the high rate of 300 mA/g, the anode still exhibits a capacity of more than 29% of that tested at 50 mA/g. Combining with the phase and morphology analysis, the novel Cu-SnO2 composite not only has good electrical conductivity, but also possesses high theoretical capacity （995 mAh/g）, which may pave a new way for the design and construction of next-generation metal oxide anode materials with high power and cycling stability.展开更多

X-ray diffraction Rietveld refinement shows that the Bragg positions correspond to the Ba Li_2Ti_6O_（14）, indicating a successful preparation. The Na＋ions doped Ba Li_2-Ti_6O_（14） compounds have larger unit-cell volume than the pristine one because ionic radius of Na＋ion is 55% larger than that of Li＋ion. SEM shows that the Ba Li_2-xNaxTi_6O_（14）（x=0, 0.5 and1） powders show similar irregular shaped particles between500 and 1000 nm. However, Ba Li_2-xNaxTi_6O_（14）（x=1.5 and 2）powders show similar rod-like shape. CV reveals that the passivating film is mainly formed during the first insertion process, and the solid electrolyte interface film on the surface of Ba Li_2-xNaxTi_6O_（14）（0≤x≤2） is formed below 0.7 V in the first cycle. Compared with other samples, Ba Li_0.5Na1.5Ti_6O_（14） exhibits higher reversible capacity, better rate capability and superior cyclability. Ba Li_0.5Na1.5Ti_6O_（14） delivers the delithiation capacities of 162.1 mAhg^-（1）at 50 m A g^-（1）, 158.1 mAhg^-（1）at 100 m A g^-（1）, 156.7 mAhg^-（1）at 150 m A g^-（1）, 152.2 mAhg^-（1）at 200 m A g^-（1）, 147.3 mAhg^-（1）at 250 m A g^-（1）and 142 mAhg^-（1）at 300 m A g^-（1）, respectively. An interesting thing is that Ba Na2Ti_6O_（14） as anode also shows an acceptable electrochemical performance. All these improved electrochemical performances of Ba Li_0.5Na1.5Ti_6O_（14） are attributed to the lowest polarization and the highest lithium ion diffusion coefficient among all samples.Hence, Ba Li_0.5Na1.5Ti_6O_（14） with excellent cycling performance,simple synthesis route and wide discharge voltage range can be a possible anode candidate for lithium-ion batteries.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

Herein, we report a free-standing SnNb_(2)O_(6)@CSN flexible film with SnNb_(2)O_(6) encapsulated in 3D carbon skeleton nanofibers by electrospinning and carbonization processes as flexible anode for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs). The 3D carbon skeleton nanofibers serve as ion/electron transport pathway to improve the electrochemical reaction kinetics and meanwhile alleviate the volume changes of SnNb_(2)O_(6) during charge-discharge processes. The as-constructed half-cell(SnNb_(2)O_(6)@CSN‖Na) exhibits excellent cycling stability of 99.2 m Ah/g at 0.5 A/g after 950 cycles(coulombic efficiency of ~100%) and a high rate performance of 108.6 mAh/g at 10 A/g. In addition, the pouch cell can light up the LEDs at different bending angles(0°, 90°, 180°). This research shows a promising anode material for flexible energy storage electronics.展开更多

The 3D carbon skeleton nanofibers serve as ion/electron transport pathway to improve the electrochemical reaction kinetics and meanwhile alleviate the volume changes of SnNb_(2)O_(6) during charge-discharge processes. The as-constructed half-cell(SnNb_(2)O_(6)@CSN‖Na) exhibits excellent cycling stability of 99.2 m Ah/g at 0.5 A/g after 950 cycles(coulombic efficiency of ~100%) and a high rate performance of 108.6 mAh/g at 10 A/g. In addition, the pouch cell can light up the LEDs at different bending angles(0°, 90°, 180°). This research shows a promising anode material for flexible energy storage electronics.

文摘Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14) as a reliable anode material is becoming a hopeful candidate for Li-ion battery.Nevertheless,the pristine Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14) usually suffer from bad rate performance and poor cycling stability under high current due to limited diffusion kinetics and poor electrical conductivity.Here,the PPy-coated Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14) composites are successfully obtained via the solid-state method and followed by chemical oxidation process in the first time.The results of tests prove that the Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14)@PPy composites have better electrochemical performance than the bare Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14) because of the excellent electrical conductivity and the special macromolecular architecture of PPy.In particular,the Na_(2) Li_(2) Ti_(6) O_(14) @PPy(4 wt%)exhibits excellent charge capacities of about 223.2,218.0,200.8,184.3 and 172.6 mAh g^(-1) at 50,100,200,300 and500 mA g^(-1),respectively,revealing the best rate capability of all electrode materials.The Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14)@PPy(4 wt%)not only has the highest charge capacity under 0.5 mA g^(-1),but also has the highest capacity retention of 85.12%among all samples after 100 loops.Hence,the PPy coating is known as a promising way to improve the electrochemical property of Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14).The PPy-coated Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14) demonstrates the great prospect as promising negative materials for Li-ion batteries.

文摘The construction of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)and sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)has gradually been an appealing and attractive technology in energy storage research field.In the present work,a facile strategy of synthesizing ultrathin amorphous/nanocrystal dual-phase P-doped Bi_(2)MoO_(6)(denoted as P-BiMO)nanosheets via a one-step wet-chemical synthesis approach is explored.Quite distinct from conventional two-dimensional(2D)nanosheets,our newly developed ultrathin P-BiMO nanosheets exhibit a unique tunable amorphous/nanocrystalline dual-phase structure with several compelling advantages including fast ion exchange ability and superb volume change buffer capability.The experimental results reveal that our prepared P-BiMO-6 electrode delivers an excellent reversible capacity of 509.6 mA·g^(−1) after continuous 1,500 cycles at the current densities of 1,500 mA·g^(−1) and improved rate performance for LIBs.In the meanwhile,the P-BiMO-6 electrode also shows a reversible capacity of 300.6 mA·g^(−1) after 100 cycles at 50 mA·g^(−1) when being used as the SIBs electrodes.This present work uncovers an effective dual-phase nanosheet structure to improve the performance of batteries,providing an attractive paradigm to develop superior electrode materials.
