To achieve high performance LIB, the surface-confined strategy has been applied to design and fabricate a new anode material of NiCo-LDH nanosheet anchored on the surface of Ti3C2 MXene(Ni Co-LDH/Ti3C2). The ultra-thin, bended and wrinkled α-phase crystal with an interlayer spacing of 8.1 ? can arrange on the conductive substrates Ti3C2 MXene directly, resulting in high electrolyte diffusion ability and low internal resistance. Furthermore, chemical bond interactions between the highly conductive Ti3C2 MXene and Ni Co-LDH nanosheets can greatly increase the ion and electron transport and reduce the volume expansion of NiCo-LDH during Li ion intercalation. As expected,the discharge capacity of 562 m Ah g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 for 800 cycles without degradation can be achieved,rate capability and cycle performance are better than that of NiCo-LDH(~100 mAh g-1). Furthermore, the density function theory(DFT) calculations were performed to demonstrate that Ni Co-LDH/Ti3C2 system can be used as a highly desirable and promising anode material for lithium ion battery.展开更多

The morphology and structure of the synthesized samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmissione lectron microscopy(TEM)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). As an electrode,the optimalN iCo-LDH shows a high specific capacity of 226.3mA·h/g at1A/g. The hybrid supercapacitor(HSC)b ased on NiCo-LDH electrode and activated carbon(AC)achieves a specific energy of 27.39W·h/kg withe xcellent cycling stability(capacity retention of 93.5% after 5000 cycles).展开更多
