Exfoliation and Reassembly Routes to a Ge/RuO₂ Nanocomposite as an Anode for Advanced Lithium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Ge/RuO₂ nanocomposites were successfully fabricated as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries using RuO₂ nanosheets and Ge/GeO₂ nanoparticles (NPs). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analyses showed that elemental Ge nanoparticles were distributed onto the rutile-type RuO₂. Transmission electron microscopy images showed well-dispersed Ge nanoparticles embedded in rutile-type RuO₂. The Ge/RuO₂ nanocomposite maintained higher discharge capacities (471 mA h g^-1) after the 90th cycle at 0.1 A g^-1 than that (211 mA h g^-1) of Ge/GeO₂ nanoparticles. The Ge/RuO₂ nanocomposite exhibited a higher capacity retention than Ge/GeO₂ NPs. These results suggest that the well-dispersed Ge nanoparticles within RuO₂ matrices enhance the cycle stability and capacity retention of the anode material.

Cu3P/RGO Nanocomposite as a New Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Cu3P/reduced graphene oxide (Cu3P/RGO) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by a facile one-pot method as an advanced anode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Cu3P nanostructures with a polyhedral shape with the mean diameter (80-100 nm) were homogeneously anchored on the surface of RGO. The flexible RGO sheets acted as elastic buffering layer which not only reduced the volume change, but also prevented the aggregation of Cu3P nanostructures, the cracking and crumbing of electrodes. On the other hand, the presence of Cu3P nanostructures could also avoid the agglomeration of RGO sheets and retain their highly active surface area. Therefore, as an advanced anode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries, the as-prepared Cu3P/RGO exhibited high capacity of 756.15 mAhg-1 at the current density 500 mAg-1 after 80 cycles, superior cyclic stability and good rate capability.

A stable TiO2-graphene nanocomposite anode with high rate capability for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:A rapid microwave hydrothermal process is adopted for the synthesis of titanium dioxide and reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites as high-performance anode materials for Li-ion batteries. With the assistance of hydrazine hydrate as a reducing agent, graphene oxide was reduced while TiO2 nanoparticles were grown in situ on the nanosheets to obtain the nanocomposite material. The morphology of the nanocomposite obtained consisted of TiO2 particles with a size of ∼100 nm, uniformly distributed on the reduced graphene oxide nanosheets. The as-prepared TiO2-graphene nanocomposite was able to deliver a capacity of 250 mA h g-1 ± 5% at 0.2C for more than 200 cycles with remarkably stable cycle life during the Li+ insertion/extraction process. In terms of high rate capability performance, the nanocomposite delivered discharge capacity of ca. 100 mA h g-1 with >99% coulombic efficiency at C-rates of up to 20C. The enhanced electrochemical performance of the material in terms of high rate capability and cycling stability indicates that the as-developed TiO2-rGO nanocomposites are promising electrode materials for future Li-ion batteries.

First-principles calculations of an asymmetric MoO2/graphene nanocomposite as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Previous work on the synthesis and preparation of MoO2/graphene nanocomposites (MoO2/G) indicates that MoO2/G is a good anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBS). In this work, we used larger super-cells than those used previously to theoretically construct an asymmetric MoO2/G nanocomposite with smaller lattice mismatch. We then calculated the structural, electronic and Li atom diffusion properties of MoO2/G using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The results show that asymmetric MoO2/G has metallic properties, good stability and a low Li atom diffusion barrier because of the charge transfer induced by van der Waals interactions. The Li diffusion barriers in the interlayer of MoO2/G are in the range of 0.02-0.29 eV, depending on the relative positions of the Li atom and the MoO2 and the C atoms in the graphene layer. The Li diffusion barriers on the outside layers of the MoO2/G nanocomposite are smaller than those of its pristine materials (MoO2 and graphene). These results are consistent with experimental results. The adsorption of Li atoms in the interlayer of the nanocomposite further promotes the adsorption of Li atoms on the outside sites of the MoO2 layer. Hence, the specific capacity of the MoO2/G nanocomposite is larger than 1682 mA h g-1. These properties all indicate that MoO2/G is a good anode material for LIBS.

Li2ZnTi3O8/graphene nanocomposite as a high-performance anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:An Li2ZnTi3O8/graphene (LZTO/G) anode is successfully synthesized by a two-step reaction. The results show that LZTO particles can be well dispersed into the graphene conductive network. The conductive structure greatly improves the electrochemical performance of LZTO/G. When cycled for 400 cycles, 76.4% of the capacity for the 2nd cycle is maintained at 1 A g-1. Also, 174.8 and 156.5 mA h g-1 are still delivered at the 100th cycle for 5 and 6 A g-1, respectively. The excellent cyclic performance and the large specific capacities at high current densities are due to the good conductive network of the LZTO active particles, large pore volume, small particle size, low charge-transfer resistance and high lithium diffusion coefficient.

Self-Supported Fibrous Sn/SnO2@C Nanocomposite as Superior Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Low-cost and simple methods are constantly chased in order to produce less expensive lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) while possibly increasing the energy and power density as well as the volumetric capacity in order to boost a rapid decarbonization of the transport sector. Li alloys and tin-carbon composites are promising candidates as anode materials for LIBs both in terms of capacity and cycle life. In the present paper, electrospinning was employed in the preparation of Sn/SnOx@C composites, where tin and tin oxides were homogeneously dispersed in a carbonaceous matrix of carbon nanofibers. The resulting self-standing and light electrode showed a greatly enhanced performance compared to a conventional electrode based on the same starting materials that are simply mixed to obtain a slurry then deposited on a Cu foil. Fast kinetics were achieved with more than 90% of the reaction that resulted being surface-controlled, and stable capacities of about 300 mAh/g over 500 cycles were obtained at a current density of 0.5 A/g.

A 2D hybrid nanocomposite: a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries at high temperature.

Project description:Two-dimensional atomically thick materials including graphene, BN, and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) have been investigated as possible energy storage materials, because of their large specific surface area, potential redox activity, and mechanical stability. Unfortunately, these materials cannot reach their full potential due to their low electrical conductivity and layered structural restacking. These problems have been somewhat resolved in the past by composite electrodes composed of a graphene and MoS2 mixture; however, insufficient mixing at the nanoscale still limits performance. Here, we examined lithium-ion battery electrodes and reported three composites made using a basic ball milling technique and sonication method. The 5% BN-G@MoS2-50@50 composite obtained has a homogeneous distribution of MoS2 on the graphene sheet and H-BN with high crystallinity. Compared to the other two composites (5% BN-G@MoS2-10@90 and 5% BN-G@MoS2-90@10), the 5% BN-G@MoS2-50@50 composite electrode exhibits a high specific capacity of 765 mA h g-1 and a current density of 100 mA g-1 in batteries. Additionally, the 5% BN-G@MoS2-50@50 composite electrode displays an excellent rate capability (453 mA h g-1 at a current density of 1000 mA g-1) at a high temperature of 70 °C, thanks to h-BN that allows reliable and safe operation of lithium-ion batteries. Our research may pave the way for the sensible design of different anode materials, including 2D materials (5% BN-G@MoS2-50@50) for high-performance LIBs and other energy-related fields.

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Ge/GeO2-Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite with Enhanced Discharge Capacity for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Germanium/germanium oxide nanoparticles with theoretically high discharge capacities of 1624 and 2152 mAh/g have attracted significant research interest for their potential application as anode materials in Li-ion batteries. However, these materials exhibit poor long-term performance due to the large volume change of 370% during charge/discharge cycles. In the present study, to overcome this shortcoming, a Ge/GeO2/graphene composite material was synthesized. Ge/GeO2 nanoparticles were trapped between matrices of graphene nanosheets to offset the volume expansion effect. Transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the Ge/GeO2 nanoparticles were distributed on the graphene nanosheets. Discharge/charge experiments were performed to evaluate the Li storage properties of the samples. The discharge capacity of the bare Ge/GeO2 nanoparticles in the first discharge cycle was considerably large; however, the value decreased rapidly with successive cycles. Conversely, the present Ge/GeO2/graphene composite exhibited superior cycling stability.

Nanocomposite Polymer Gel Electrolyte Based on TiO2 Nanoparticles for Lithium Batteries.

Project description:In this article, the specific features of competitive ionic and molecular transport in nanocomposite systems based on network membranes synthesized by radical polymerization of polyethylene glycol diacrylate in the presence of LiBF4, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, ethylene carbonate (EC), and TiO2 nanopowder (d~21 nm) were studied for 1H, 7Li, 11B, 13C, and 19F nuclei using NMR. The membranes obtained were studied through electrochemical impedance, IR-Fourier spectroscopy, DSC, and TGA. The ionic conductivity of the membranes was up to 4.8 m Scm-1 at room temperature. The operating temperature range was from -40 to 100 °C. Two types of molecular and ionic transport (fast and slow) have been detected by pulsed field gradient NMR. From quantum chemical modeling, it follows that the difficulty of lithium transport is due to the strong chemisorption of BF4- anions with counterions on the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles. The theoretical conclusion about the need to increase the proportion of EC in order to reduce the influence of this effect was confirmed by an experimental study of a system with 4 moles of EC. It has been shown that this approach leads to an increase in lithium conductivity in an ionic liquid medium, which is important for the development of thermostable nanocomposite electrolytes for Li//LiFePO4 batteries with a base of lithium salts and aprotonic imidasolium ionic liquid.

Plate-to-Layer Bi2MoO6/MXene-Heterostructured Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Bi2MoO6 is a potentially promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) on account of its high theoretical capacity coupled with low desertion potential. Due to low conductivity and large volume expansion/contraction during charge/discharge cycling of Bi2MoO6, effective modification is indispensable to address these issues. In this study, a plate-to-layer Bi2MoO6/Ti3C2Tx (MXene) heterostructure is proposed by electrostatic assembling positive-charged Bi2MoO6 nanoplates on negative-charged MXene nanosheets. MXene nanosheets in the heterostructure act as a highly conductive substrate to load and anchor the Bi2MoO6 nanoplates, so as to improve electronic conductivity and structural stability. When the mass ratio of MXene is optimized to 30%, the Bi2MoO6/MXene heterostructure exhibits high specific capacities of 692 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 200 cycles and 545.1 mAh g-1 with 99.6% coulombic efficiency at 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles. The results provide not only a high-performance lithium storage material, but also an effective strategy that could address the intrinsic issues of various transition metal oxides by anchoring them on MXene nanosheets to form heterostructures and use as anode materials for LIBs.
