K_0.36(H₂O) _y WS₂: a new layered compound for reversible hydrated potassium ion intercalation in aqueous electrolyte.

ABSTRACT: This work reports the synthesis of a new quasi two-dimensional layered compound, K_0.36(H₂O) _y WS₂, for aqueous potassium ion storage. Its crystal structure determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction is composed of WS₂ layers and disordered hydrated K⁺ stacking along the c direction alternately. Due to the large interlayer spacing and high conductivity, K_0.36(H₂O) _y WS₂ is demonstrated to be a stable host for reversible intercalation and de-intercalation of hydrated K⁺ in K₂SO₄ aqueous solution.

Interlayer Engineering of α-MoO3 Modulates Selective Hydronium Intercalation in Neutral Aqueous Electrolyte.

Project description:Among various charge-carrier ions for aqueous batteries, non-metal hydronium (H3 O+ ) with small ionic size and fast diffusion kinetics empowers H3 O+ -intercalation electrodes with high rate performance and fast-charging capability. However, pure H3 O+ charge carriers for inorganic electrode materials have only been observed in corrosive acidic electrolytes, rather than in mild neutral electrolytes. Herein, we report how selective H3 O+ intercalation in a neutral ZnCl2 electrolyte can be achieved for water-proton co-intercalated α-MoO3 (denoted WP-MoO3 ). H2 O molecules located between MoO3 interlayers block Zn2+ intercalation pathways while allowing smooth H3 O+ intercalation/diffusion through a Grotthuss proton-conduction mechanism. Compared to α-MoO3 with a Zn2+ -intercalation mechanism, WP-MoO3 delivers the substantially enhanced specific capacity (356.8 vs. 184.0 mA h g-1 ), rate capability (77.5 % vs. 42.2 % from 0.4 to 4.8 A g-1 ), and cycling stability (83 % vs. 13 % over 1000 cycles). This work demonstrates the possibility of modulating electrochemical intercalating ions by interlayer engineering, to construct high-rate and long-life electrodes for aqueous batteries.

Highly reversible potassium-ion intercalation in tungsten disulfide.

Project description:Rechargeable potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) show promise beyond Li-ion technology in large-scale electrical-energy storage due to the abundance and low cost of potassium resources. However, the intercalation of large-size K+ generally results in irreversible structural degradation and short lifespan to the hosts, representing a major obstacle. Here, we report a new electrochemical K+-intercalation host, tungsten disulfide (WS2), which can store 0.62 K+ per formula unit with a reversible capacity of 67 mA h g-1 and well-defined voltage plateaus at an intrinsically safe average operation potential of 0.72 V versus K/K+. In situ X-ray diffraction and ex situ electron microscopy revealed the underlying intercalation mechanism, a relatively small cell volume change (37.81%), and high reversibility of this new battery chemistry. Such characteristics impart WS2 with ultrahigh structural stability and a long lifespan, regardless of deep or fast charging. WS2 achieved record-high cyclability among chalcogenides up to 600 cycles with 89.2% capacity retention at 0.3C, and over 1000 cycles with 96.3% capacity retention and an extraordinary average Coulombic efficiency of 99.90% at 2.2C. This intercalation electrochemistry may open up new opportunities for the design of long-cycle-life and high-safety PIBs.

Stabilizing Layered Structure in Aqueous Electrolyte via O2-Type Oxygen Stacking.

Project description:Despite the high energy density of O3-type layered cathode materials, the short cycle life in aqueous electrolyte hinders their practical applications in aqueous lithium-ion batteries (ALIBs). In this work, it is demonstrated that the structural stability of layered LiCoO2 in aqueous electrolyte can be remarkably improved by altering the oxygen stacking from O3 to O2. As compared to the O3-type LiCoO2 , the O2-type LiCoO2 exhibits significantly improved cycle performance in neutral aqueous electrolyte. It is found that the structural degradation caused by electrophilic attack of proton can be effectively mitigated in O2-type layered structure. With O2 stacking, CoO6 octahedra in LiCoO2 possess stronger CoO bonds while Co migration from Co layer to Li layer is strongly hampered, resulting in enhanced structural stability against proton attack and prolonged cycle life in aqueous electrolyte. The findings in this work reveal that regulating oxygen stacking sequence is an effective strategy to improve the structural stability of layered materials for ALIBs.

Reversible intercalation of methyl viologen as a dicationic charge carrier in aqueous batteries.

Project description:The interactions between charge carriers and electrode structures represent one of the most important considerations in the search for new energy storage devices. Currently, ionic bonding dominates the battery chemistry. Here we report the reversible insertion of a large molecular dication, methyl viologen, into the crystal structure of an aromatic solid electrode, 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride. This is the largest insertion charge carrier when non-solvated ever reported for batteries; surprisingly, the kinetic properties of the (de)insertion of methyl viologen are excellent with 60% of capacity retained when the current rate is increased from 100 mA g-1 to 2000 mA g-1. Characterization reveals that the insertion of methyl viologen causes phase transformation of the organic host, and embodies guest-host chemical bonding. First-principles density functional theory calculations suggest strong guest-host interaction beyond the pure ionic bonding, where a large extent of covalency may exist. This study extends the boundary of battery chemistry to large molecular ions as charge carriers and also highlights the electrochemical assembly of a supramolecular system.

Layered Birnessite Cathode with a Displacement/Intercalation Mechanism for High-Performance Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Mn-based rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are highly promising because of their high operating voltages, attractive energy densities, and eco-friendliness. However, the electrochemical performances of Mn-based cathodes usually suffer from their serious structure transformation upon charge/discharge cycling. Herein, we report a layered sodium-ion/crystal water co-intercalated Birnessite cathode with the formula of Na0.55Mn2O4·0.57H2O (NMOH) for high-performance aqueous ZIBs. A displacement/intercalation electrochemical mechanism was confirmed in the Mn-based cathode for the first time. Na+ and crystal water enlarge the interlayer distance to enhance the insertion of Zn2+, and some sodium ions are replaced with Zn2+ in the first cycle to further stabilize the layered structure for subsequent reversible Zn2+/H+ insertion/extraction, resulting in exceptional specific capacities and satisfactory structural stabilities. Additionally, a pseudo-capacitance derived from the surface-adsorbed Na+ also contributes to the electrochemical performances. The NMOH cathode not only delivers high reversible capacities of 389.8 and 87.1 mA h g-1 at current densities of 200 and 1500 mA g-1, respectively, but also maintains a good long-cycling performance of 201.6 mA h g-1 at a high current density of 500 mA g-1 after 400 cycles, which makes the NMOH cathode competitive for practical applications.

Twist Angle mapping in layered WS2 by Polarization-Resolved Second Harmonic Generation.

Project description:Stacked atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit fundamentally new physical properties compared to those of the individual layers. The twist angle between the layers plays a crucial role in tuning these properties. Having a tool that provides high-resolution, large area mapping of the twist angle, would be of great importance in the characterization of such 2D structures. Here we use polarization-resolved second harmonic generation (P-SHG) imaging microscopy to rapidly map the twist angle in large areas of overlapping WS2 stacked layers. The robustness of our methodology lies in the combination of both intensity and polarization measurements of SHG in the overlapping region. This allows the accurate measurement and consequent pixel-by-pixel mapping of the twist angle in this area. For the specific case of 30° twist angle, P-SHG enables imaging of individual layers.

Synthesis of an aqueous, air-stable, superconducting 1T'-WS2 monolayer ink.

Project description:Liquid-phase chemical exfoliation can achieve industry-scale production of two-dimensional (2D) materials for a wide range of applications. However, many 2D materials with potential applications in quantum technologies often fail to leave the laboratory setting because of their air sensitivity and depreciation of physical performance after chemical processing. We report a simple chemical exfoliation method to create a stable, aqueous, surfactant-free, superconducting ink containing phase-pure 1T'-WS2 monolayers that are isostructural to the air-sensitive topological insulator 1T'-WTe2. The printed film is metallic at room temperature and superconducting below 7.3 kelvin, shows strong anisotropic unconventional superconducting behavior with an in-plane and out-of-plane upper critical magnetic field of 30.1 and 5.3 tesla, and is stable at ambient conditions for at least 30 days. Our results show that chemical processing can make nontrivial 2D materials that were formerly only studied in laboratories commercially accessible.

Synthesis of crystalline WS3 with a layered structure and desert-rose-like morphology.

Project description:Tungsten disulphide has attracted great research interest due to its layered structure as well as physical and chemical properties. A less common type of tungsten sulphide, WS3, has also been studied as an electrochemical catalyst, but its crystal structure remains unclear because it has only been prepared in the amorphous form. In this work, crystalline WS3 is synthesized with a desert-rose-like morphology through the sulphurization of WO3·0.33H2O in a solvothermal reaction. The composition of WS3 is confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements as well as thermogravimetric experiment. The crystalline WS3 also has a layered structure and is likely to belong to the trigonal crystal system. Its lattice parameters in the hexagonal description are 5.30 Å × 5.30 Å × 29.0 Å <90 ° × 90 ° × 120°>, which are determined by 3D electron diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction. The WS3 shows potential as catalyst for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction. Our findings extend the family of layered tungsten sulphide materials.

Enhanced Reversible Zinc Ion Intercalation in Deficient Ammonium Vanadate for High-Performance Aqueous Zinc-Ion Battery.

Project description:Ammonium vanadate with bronze structure (NH4V4O10) is a promising cathode material for zinc-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity and low cost. However, the extraction of [Formula: see text] at a high voltage during charge/discharge processes leads to irreversible reaction and structure degradation. In this work, partial [Formula: see text] ions were pre-removed from NH4V4O10 through heat treatment; NH4V4O10 nanosheets were directly grown on carbon cloth through hydrothermal method. Deficient NH4V4O10 (denoted as NVO), with enlarged interlayer spacing, facilitated fast zinc ions transport and high storage capacity and ensured the highly reversible electrochemical reaction and the good stability of layered structure. The NVO nanosheets delivered a high specific capacity of 457 mAh g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1 and a capacity retention of 81% over 1000 cycles at 2 A g-1. The initial Coulombic efficiency of NVO could reach up to 97% compared to 85% of NH4V4O10 and maintain almost 100% during cycling, indicating the high reaction reversibility in NVO electrode.

Electrode/Electrolyte Optimization-Induced Double-Layered Architecture for High-Performance Aqueous Zinc-(Dual) Halogen Batteries.

Project description:Aqueous zinc-halogen batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their abundant resources, intrinsic safety, and high theoretical capacity. Nevertheless, the uncontrollable zinc dendrite growth and spontaneous shuttle effect of active species have prohibited their practical implementation. Herein, a double-layered protective film based on zinc-ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid (ZEA) artificial film and ZnF2-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer has been successfully fabricated on the zinc metal anode via electrode/electrolyte synergistic optimization. The ZEA-based artificial film shows strong affinity for the ZnF2-rich SEI layer, therefore effectively suppressing the SEI breakage and facilitating the construction of double-layered protective film on the zinc metal anode. Such double-layered architecture not only modulates Zn2+ flux and suppresses the zinc dendrite growth, but also blocks the direct contact between the metal anode and electrolyte, thus mitigating the corrosion from the active species. When employing optimized metal anodes and electrolytes, the as-developed zinc-(dual) halogen batteries present high areal capacity and satisfactory cycling stability. This work provides a new avenue for developing aqueous zinc-(dual) halogen batteries.
