Co₃ZnC@NC Material Derived from ZIF-8 for Lithium-Ion Capacitors.

ABSTRACT: Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived carbon materials were widely reported as the anodes of lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). However, tunning the structure and electrochemical performance of the MOF-derived carbon materials is still challenging. Herein, metal carbide materials of Co₃ZnC@NC-8:2 were obtained by the pyrolysis of the MOF materials of Co_0.2Zn_0.8ZIF-8 (Zn/Co ratio of 8:2). A half-cell assembled with the Co₃ZnC@NC-8:2 electrode exhibits a discharge capacity of the electrode material of 598 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g^-1. After 100 cycles, the retention rate of discharge specific capacity is about 90%. The high performance of Co₃ZnC@NC-8:2 is ascribed to its high crystalline degree and well-defined structure, which facilitates the intercalation/deintercalation of lithium ions and buffers the volume change during the charge/discharge process. The high capacitance contribution ratio calculated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves at different scanning rates indicates the pseudocapacitance storage mechanism. LICs constructed from the Co₃ZnC@NC-8:2 material have a rectangular CV curve, while the charge-discharge curve has a symmetrical triangular shape. This study indicates that MOF-derived carbon is one of the promising materials for high-performance LICs.

Project description:Bagasse-derived carbon electrodes were developed by doping with nitrogen functional groups and compositing with high-capacity MnO2 nanoparticles (MnO2/NBGC). The bagasse-derived biochar was N-doped by refluxing in urea, followed by the deposition of MnO2 nanoparticles onto its porous surface via the hydrothermal reduction of KMnO4. Different initial KMnO4 loading concentrations (i.e. 5, 10, 40, and 100 mM) were applied to optimize the composite morphology and the corresponding electrochemical performance. Material characterization confirmed that the carbon composite has a mesoporous structure along with the dispersion of MnO2 nano-particles on the N-containing carbon surface. It was found that the 5-MnO2/NBGC sample exhibited the highest electrochemical performance with a reversible capacity of 760 mA h g-1 at a current density of 186 mA g-1. It delivered reversible capacities of 488 and 390 mA h g-1 in cycle tests at 372 and 744 mA g-1, respectively, for 150 cycles and presented good reversibility with nearly 100% coulombic efficiency. In addition, it could exert high capacities up to 388 and 301 mA h g-1 even under high current densities of 1860 and 3720 mA g-1, respectively. Moreover, most of the prepared composite products showed high rate capability with great reversibility up to more than 90% after testing at a high current density of 3720 mA g-1. The great electrochemical performance of the MnO2/NBGC nanocomposite electrode can be attributed to the synergistic impact of the hierarchical architecture of the MnO2 nanocrystals deposited on porous carbon and the capacitive effect of the N-containing defects within the carbon material. The nanostructure of the MnO2 particles deposited on porous carbon limits its large volume change during cycling and promotes good adhesion of MnO2 nanoparticles with the substrate. Meanwhile, the capacitive effect of the exposed N-functional groups enables fast ionic conduction and reduces interfacial resistance at the electrode interface.
