The initial lithium insertion of crystal NiSi2 can reach up to 600 mAh·g-1, but large irreversible capacity occurrs simultaneously for serious structure transformation and the irreversible phase forms. XRD and XPS were employed to detect the crystal structure and composition changes produced by lithium insertion. The lithium insertion-extraction behavior of NiSi2 electrode is similar to that of silicon after the first discharge. The structure stability seems related to the non-stoichimometric Ni-Si compound formed by lithium insertion into NiSi2.展开更多

Electrochemical measurements showed that the nanohybrid anodes possessed enhanced reversible capacity and superior cycling stability compared to those of a pristine T-Nb205 nanowire electrode. Owing to the strong bonds between graphene nanosheets and T-Nb2O5 nanowires, the nanohybrids achieved an initial capacity of 227 mAh·g^-1. Additionally, non-aqueous asymmetric supercapacitors （ASCs） were fabricated with the synthesized nanohybrids as the anode and activated carbon as the cathode. The 3 V Li-ion ASC with a LiPF6-based organic electrolyte achieved an energy density of 45.1 Wh·kg^-1 at 715.2 W·kg^-1. The working potential could be further enhanced to 4 V when a polymer ionogel separator （PVDF-HFP/LiTFSI/EMIMBF4） and formulated ionic liquid electrolyte were employed. Such a quasi-solid state ASC could operate at 60℃ and delivered a maximum energy density of 70 Wh·kg^-1 at 1 kW·kg^-1.展开更多
