Affinity-Engineered Flexible Scaffold toward Energy-Dense, Highly Reversible Na Metal Batteries

The practical deployment of metallic anodes in the energy-dense batteries is impeded by the thermodynamically unstable interphase in contact with the aprotic electrolyte,structural collapse of the substrates as well as their insufficient affinity toward the metallic deposits.Herein,the mechanical flexible,lightweight(1.2 mg cm^(−2))carbon nanofiber scaffold with the monodispersed,ultrafine Sn_(4)P_(3) nanoparticles encapsulation(Sn_(4)P_(3)NPs@CNF)is proposed as the deposition substrate toward the high-areal-capacity sodium loadings up to 4 mAh cm^(−2).First-principles calculations manifest that the alloy intermediates,namely the Na_(15)Sn_(4) and Na_(3)P matrix,exhibit the intimate Na affinity as the“sodiophilic”sites.Meanwhile,the porous CNF regulates the heterogeneous alloying process and confines the deposit propagation along the nanofiber orientation.With the precise control of pairing mode with the NaVPO4F cathode(8.7 mg cm^(−2)),the practical feasibility of the Sn_(4)P_(3) NPs@CNF anode(1^(*)Na excess)is demonstrated in 2 mAh single-layer pouch cell prototype,which achieves the 95.7%capacity retention for 150 cycles at various mechanical flexing states as well as balanced energy/power densities.

Sn_(4)P_(3)nanoparticles confined in multilayer graphene sheets as a high-performance anode material for potassium-ion batteries

Phosphorus-based anodes are highly promising for potassium-ion batteries(PIBs)because of their large theoretical capacities.Nevertheless,the inferior potassium storage properties caused by the poor electronic conductivity,easy self-aggregation,and huge volumetric changes upon cycling process restrain their practical applications.Now we impregnate Sn_(4)P_(3)nanoparticles within multilayer graphene sheets(Sn_(4)P_(3)/MGS)as the anode material for PIBs,greatly improving its potassium storage performance.Specifically,the graphene sheets can efficiently suppress the aggregation of Sn_(4)P_(3)nanoparticles,enhance the electronic conductivity,and sustain the structural integrity.In addition,plenty of Sn_(4)P_(3)nanoparticles impregnated in MGS offer a large accessible area for the electrolyte,which decreases the diffusion distance for K^(+)and electrons upon K^(+)insertion/extraction,resulting in an improved rate capability.Consequently,the optimized Sn_(4)P_(3)/MGS containing 80 wt%Sn_(4)P_(3)(Sn_(4)P_(3)/MGS-80)exhibits a high reversible capacity of 378.2 and 260.2 m Ah g;at 0.1 and 1 A g^(-1),respectively,and still delivers a large capacity retention of 76.6%after the 1000th cycle at 0.5 A g^(-1).

Degradation mechanism of tin phosphide as Na-ion battery negative electrode

The degradation mechanism of an Sn_4P_3 electrode as Na-ion battery anode was investigated by using a transmission electron microscopic observation. At the first desodiation, we confirmed that Sn nanoparticles with 6 nm in size were dispersed in an amorphous-like P matrix.Compared to this, we observed aggregated Sn particles with sizes exceeding 50 nm after the drastic capacity fading. The capacity fading mechanism was for the first time confirmed to be Sn aggregation. To improve the capacity decay, we carried out the two kinds of chargeàdischarge cycling tests under the reduced volume changes of Sn particles and P matrix by limiting desodiation reactions of Nae Sn and Na3P, respectively. The Sn_4P_3 electrode exhibited an excellent cyclability with the discharge capacity of 500 mA hg^(-1) for 420 cycles under the limited desodiation, whereas the capacity decay was accelerated under the limited sodiation. The results suggest that the Sn aggregation can be improved by the reduced volume change of the P matrix, and that it is very effective for improving anode performance of Sn_4P_3 electrode.

SnP entangled by carbon nanotube networks as anode for pseudocapacitive half/full battery

Due to the lower operating voltage and higher theoretical specific capacity,tin phosphide is considered a class of materials with prospects as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).Among them,tin monophosphide has attracted people's attention due to its unique layered structure.Unfortunately,because of the challenging synthesis method and metastable nature,the application of SnP is limited.In this work,tin phosphide/carbon nanotubes(SnP/CNTs)are prepared by controlling the nucleation and adjusting the ratio of phosphorus/carbon using carbon nanotube as initiator.Sn-MOF is used as a template to make the morphology of SnP more evenly,and carbon nanotubes can also be used as a conductive network to increase the speed of electron transmission.As an anode material for LIBs,SnP/CNTs reveals superior rate performances(reversible capability of 610 mA·h·g^(-1)at 2000 mA·g^(-1)).The full-cell was assembled and tested,after 50 cycles at 0.1 C,the capacity can maintain 292 mA·h·g^(-1),and its capacity retention rate can reach 80.5%.After 230 cycles,its capacity can maintain at around 223 mA·h·g
1.In addition,SnP/CNTs materials exhibit 89%pseudocapacitance contribution upon cycling,which indicates the robust Lit storage and satisfactory fast-charging capability.Hence,SnP/CNTs suggests a promising anode material for energy storage system.
