Plasma treated TiO₂/C nanofibers as high performance anode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

ABSTRACT: TiO₂ has been a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries because it is low-cost and environment-friendly. However, its electrochemical performance at high rates is still not acceptable. Herein, we synthesized a TiO₂/C nanofiber material by the electrospinning method, and introduced air plasma treatments to modify the obtained material. Characterization results indicate that after the plasma treatments, the C fibers may have reacted with the plasma, and the surface areas of the nanofibers are increased. Electrochemical tests show this plasma treatment may be beneficial to the rate performance. The TiO₂/C nanofiber with plasma treatment could deliver a high redox capacity of 191 mA h g^-1 after 500 cycles at a very high rate of 10C (3300 mA g^-1). The superior effects of the plasma treatment on the rate performance may provide new insights for developing better materials for practical sodium-ion batteries.

Nitrogen-Doped TiO2-C Composite Nanofibers with High-Capacity and Long-Cycle Life as Anode Materials for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Nitrogen-doped TiO2-C composite nanofibers (TiO2/N-C NFs) were manufactured by a convenient and green electrospinning technique in which urea acted as both the nitrogen source and a pore-forming agent. The TiO2/N-C NFs exhibit a large specific surface area (213.04 m2 g-1) and a suitable nitrogen content (5.37 wt%). The large specific surface area can increase the contribution of the extrinsic pseudocapacitance, which greatly enhances the rate capability. Further, the diffusion coefficient of sodium ions (D Na+) could be greatly improved by the incorporation of nitrogen atoms. Thus, the TiO2/N-C NFs display excellent electrochemical properties in Na-ion batteries. A TiO2/N-C NF anode delivers a high reversible discharge capacity of 265.8 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 and an outstanding long cycling performance even at a high current density (118.1 mAh g-1) with almost no capacity decay at 5 A g-1 over 2000 cycles. Therefore, this work sheds light on the application of TiO2-based materials in sodium-ion batteries.

TiO₂ Nanobelt@Co₉S₈ Composites as Promising Anode Materials for Lithium and Sodium Ion Batteries.

Project description:TiO₂ anodes have attracted great attention due to their good cycling stability for lithium ion batteries and sodium ion batteries (LIBs and SIBs). Unfortunately, the low specific capacity and poor conductivity limit their practical application. The mixed phase TiO₂ nanobelt (anatase and TiO₂-B) based Co₉S₈ composites have been synthesized via the solvothermal reaction and subsequent calcination. During the formation process of hierarchical composites, glucose between TiO₂ nanobelts and Co₉S₈ serves as a linker to increase the nucleation and growth of sulfides on the surface of TiO₂ nanobelts. As anode materials for LIBs and SIBs, the composites combine the advantages of TiO₂ nanobelts with those of Co₉S₈ nanomaterials. The reversible specific capacity of TiO₂ nanobelt@Co₉S₈ composites is up to 889 and 387 mAh·g-1 at 0.1 A·g-1 after 100 cycles, respectively. The cooperation of excellent cycling stability of TiO₂ nanobelts and high capacities of Co₉S₈ nanoparticles leads to the good electrochemical performances of TiO₂ nanobelt@Co₉S₈ composites.

Compact TiO2@SnO2@C heterostructured particles as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries with improved volumetric capacity.

Project description:Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage. Increasing the energy density of SIBs demands anode materials with high gravimetric and volumetric capacity. To overcome the drawback of low density of conventional nanosized or porous electrode materials, compact heterostructured particles are developed in this work with improved Na storage capacity by volume, which are composed of SnO2 nanoparticles loaded into nanoporous TiO2 followed by carbon coating. The resulted TiO2@SnO2@C (denoted as TSC) particles inherit the structural integrity of TiO2 and extra capacity contribution from SnO2, delivering a volumetric capacity of 393 mAh cm-3 notably higher than that of porous TiO2 and commercial hard carbon. The heterogeneous interface between TiO2 and SnO2 is believed to promote the charge transfer and facilitate the redox reactions in the compact heterogeneous particles. This work demonstrates a useful strategy for electrode materials with high volumetric capacity.

Glycol Derived Carbon- TiO2 as Low Cost and High Performance Anode Material for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Carbon coated TiO2 (TiO2@C) is fabricated by a convenient and green one-pot solvothermal method, in which ethylene glycol serve as both the reaction medium and carbon source without the addition of any other carbon additives. During the solvothermal process, ethylene glycol polymerize and coordinate with Ti4+ to form the polymeric ligand precursor, then the polymer brushes carbonize and convert to homogeneous carbon layer firmly anchored on the TiO2 nanoparticles (~1 nm thickness). The polymerization and carbonization process of the ethylene glycol is confirmed by FT-IR, Raman, TG and TEM characterizations. Benefiting from the well-dispersed nanoparticles and uniform carbon coating, the as-prepared TiO2@C demonstrate a high reversible capacity of 317 mAh g-1 (94.6% of theoretical value), remarkable rate capability of 125 mAh g-1 at 3.2 A g-1 and superior cycling stability over 500 cycles, possibly being one of the highest capacities reported for TiO2.

Pomegranate Peel-Derived Hard Carbons as Anode Materials for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Exploring high-performance carbon anodes that are low-cost and easily accessible is the key to the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries. Producing carbon materials from bio by-products is an intriguing strategy for sodium-ion battery anode manufacture and for high-value utilization of biomass. Herein, a novel hard carbon (PPHC) was prepared via a facile pyrolysis process followed by acid treatment using biowaste pomegranate peel as the precursor. The morphology and structure of the PPHC were influenced by the carbonization temperature, as evidenced by physicochemical characterization. The PPHC pyrolyzed at 1100 °C showed expanded interlayer spacing and appropriate oxygen group content. When used as a sodium ion battery anode, the PPHC-1100 demonstrated a reversible capacity of up to 330 mAh g-1, maintaining 174 mAh g-1 at an increased current rate of 1 C. After 200 cycles at 0.5 C, the capacity delivered by PPHC-1100 was 175 mAh g-1. The electrochemical behavior of PPHC electrodes was investigated, revealing that the PPHC-1100 possessed increased capacitive-controlled energy storage and improved ion transport properties, which explained its excellent electrochemical performance. This work underscores the feasibility of high-performance sodium-ion battery anodes derived from biowaste and provides insights into the sodium storage process in biomass-derived hard carbon.

Fabrication of hierarchically porous TiO2 nanofibers by microemulsion electrospinning and their application as anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers have been widely applied in various fields including photocatalysis, energy storage and solar cells due to the advantages of low cost, high abundance and nontoxicity. However, the low conductivity of ions and bulk electrons hinder its rapid development in lithium-ion batteries (LIB). In order to improve the electrochemical performances of TiO2 nanomaterials as anode for LIB, hierarchically porous TiO2 nanofibers with different tetrabutyl titanate (TBT)/paraffin oil ratios were prepared as anode for LIB via a versatile single-nozzle microemulsion electrospinning (ME-ES) method followed by calcining. The experimental results indicated that TiO2 nanofibers with the higher TBT/paraffin oil ratio demonstrated more axially aligned channels and a larger specific surface area. Furthermore, they presented superior lithium-ion storage properties in terms of specific capacity, rate capability and cycling performance compared with solid TiO2 nanofibers for LIB. The initial discharge and charge capacity of porous TiO2 nanofibers with a TBT/paraffin oil ratio of 2.25 reached up to 634.72 and 390.42 mAh·g-1, thus resulting in a coulombic efficiency of 61.51%; and the discharge capacity maintained 264.56 mAh·g-1 after 100 cycles, which was much higher than that of solid TiO2 nanofibers. TiO2 nanofibers with TBT/paraffin oil ratio of 2.25 still obtained a high reversible capacity of 204.53 mAh·g-1 when current density returned back to 40 mA·g-1 after 60 cycles at increasing stepwise current density from 40 mA·g-1 to 800 mA·g-1. Herein, hierarchically porous TiO2 nanofibers have the potential to be applied as anode for lithium-ion batteries in practical applications.

Template-Free Synthesis of Sb2S3 Hollow Microspheres as Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion and Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Hierarchical Sb2S3 hollow microspheres assembled by nanowires have been successfully synthesized by a simple and practical hydrothermal reaction. The possible formation process of this architecture was investigated by X-ray diffraction, focused-ion beam-scanning electron microscopy dual-beam system, and transmission electron microscopy. When used as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries, Sb2S3 hollow microspheres manifest excellent rate property and enhanced lithium-storage capability and can deliver a discharge capacity of 674 mAh g-1 at a current density of 200 mA g-1 after 50 cycles. Even at a high current density of 5000 mA g-1, a discharge capacity of 541 mAh g-1 is achieved. Sb2S3 hollow microspheres also display a prominent sodium-storage capacity and maintain a reversible discharge capacity of 384 mAh g-1 at a current density of 200 mA g-1 after 50 cycles. The remarkable lithium/sodium-storage property may be attributed to the synergetic effect of its nanometer size and three-dimensional hierarchical architecture, and the outstanding stability property is attributed to the sufficient interior void space, which can buffer the volume expansion.

Fe7Se8 encapsulated in N-doped carbon nanofibers as a stable anode material for sodium ion batteries.

Project description:Transition metal chalcogenides especially Fe-based selenides for sodium storage have the advantages of high electric conductivity, low cost, abundant active sites, and high theoretical capacity. Herein, we proposed a facile synthesis of Fe7Se8 embedded in carbon nanofibers (denoted as Fe7Se8-NCFs). The Fe7Se8-NCFs with a 1D electron transfer network can facilitate Na+ transportation to ensure fast reaction kinetics. Moreover, Fe7Se8 encapsulated in carbon nanofibers, Fe7Se8-NCFs, can effectively adapt the volume variation to keep structural integrity during a continuous Na+ insertion and extraction process. As a result, Fe7Se8-NCFs present improved rate performance and remarkable cycling stability for sodium storage. The Fe7Se8-NCFs exhibit practical feasibility with a reasonable specific capacity of 109 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles and a favorable rate capability of 136 mA h g-1 at a high rate of 2 A g-1 when coupled with Na3V2(PO4)3 to assemble full sodium ion batteries.

Low-Cost and High-Performance Hard Carbon Anode Materials for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:As an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), hard carbon (HC) presents high specific capacity and favorable cycling performance. However, high cost and low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of HC seriously limit its future commercialization for SIBs. A typical biowaste, mangosteen shell was selected as a precursor to prepare low-cost and high-performance HC via a facile one-step carbonization method, and the influence of different heat treatments on the morphologies, microstructures, and electrochemical performances was investigated systematically. The microstructure evolution studied using X-ray diffraction, Raman, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, along with electrochemical measurements, reveals the optimal carbonization condition of the mangosteen shell: HC carbonized at 1500 °C for 2 h delivers the highest reversible capacity of ∼330 mA h g-1 at a current density of 20 mA g-1, a capacity retention of ∼98% after 100 cycles, and an ICE of ∼83%. Additionally, the sodium-ion storage behavior of HC is deeply analyzed using galvanostatic intermittent titration and cyclic voltammetry technologies.
