Herein, we constructed an ordered nanoporous embedding nanoparticles composite by anodic oxidation of Ti 3 SiC 2 in fluorine containing organic electrolyte. Compared to anodized Ti which resulted in TiO 2 nanotubes , the anodized Ti 3 SiC 2 (ATSC) led to the formation of nanostructured TiO 2 /C/SiO 2 composite. The morphologies of oxides in the composite also varied with different anodization parameters. The ATSC could be directly used as an electrode without further processes, which possessed a superior structure and composition with a visible-light photocurrent density of 7.56 μA cm −2 , initial reversible area capacity of 6.18 F cm −2 , which were respectively 1.32 and 6.87 times higher than those of the anodized Ti (AT), respectively. The ATSC synthesized by such a feasible fabricating strategy shows favorable photoelectrochemical properties and remarkable stability, and may broaden the bifunctional material prospects of anodized MAX phases.

As a negative electrode material, the main drawbacks of Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO) are its low electric conductivity and poor Li-ion diffusion coefficient. Fortunately, elements modification to address these problems is an effective method. Herein, we firstly report Ni and F co-modified LTO material which is synthesized via a solid-state reaction. Powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were conducted to investigate the structure and morphology. Afterwards, we surprisingly find that Ni and F co-modification can reduce the overall charge transfer resistance of LTO for part of Ti 4+ converts into Ti 3+ and Ni 2+ ions supply the charge carriers. When test in battery, a superior discharge capacity of 236.1 mAh g −1 at 0.036 A g −1 is obtained, much higher than that of pristine LTO (196.9 mAh g −1 ). Furthermore, it still retains a discharge capacity of 174.6 mAh g −1 after 200 cycles at 0.18 A g −1 and exhibits an excellent rate performance.

In this communication, we designed and synthesized a novel calcium–organic framework and presented it as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries. The results show that it delivers a reversible capacity of higher than 140 mA h g−1 even after 300 cycles. The remarkable performance is attributed to the high structural stability and extremely low solubility of the calcium–organic framework in electrolytes.

We prepared Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni ribbons by arc-melting and subsequent melt-spinning techniques. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + x Mg ( x = 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3, wt.%) composite alloys were obtained by the mechanical ball-milling method. The structures and hydrogen storage properties of alloys were investigated. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + x Mg composite alloys contained icosahedral quasicrystalline phase, Ti 2 Ni-type phase, β-Ti solid-solution phase and metallic Mg. The electrochemical and gaseous hydrogen storage properties of alloys were improved with Mg addition. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + 2 Mg alloy showed maximum electrochemical discharge capacity of 282.5 mAh g −1 as well as copacetic high-rate discharge ability of 82.3% at the discharge current density of 240 mA g −1 compared with that of 30 mA g −1 , and the cycling life achieved above 200 mAh g −1 after 50 consecutive cycles of charging and discharging. The hydrogen absorption/desorption properties of Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + x Mg ( x = 1, 2 and 3, wt.%) alloys were better than Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + 3 Mg alloy also exhibited a favorable hydrogen absorption capacity of 1.53 wt.%. The improvement in the hydrogen storage characteristics caused by adding Mg may be ascribed to better hydrogen diffusion and anti-corrosion ability.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are adopted to modify ZnCo 2 O 4 (ZCO) electrode, and a novel porous polyhedral structure ZCO/CNTs composites are prepared by a facile and scalable hydrothermal process, and the pure ZCO with cubic structure is also synthesized for comparison. The as-prepared materials are characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The results demonstrate that the introduced of CNTs has great effects on the nanostructure and electrochemical performance of the samples. The CNTs among the polyhedral structure ZCO/CNTs composites can provide better mechanical robustness, more contact between Li + and electrodes, and more effective electron transmission than the pure ZCO with cubic structure. When tested as anode materials for lithium ion batteries , the ZCO/CNTs composites exhibit a high initial coulombic efficiency of 83.9%, a high specific capacity of ∼864.6 mAh g −1 at a current rate of 100 mA g −1 after 150 cycles, as well as a good rate capability at elevated current rates, such as, ∼924.3 and ∼605.7 mAh g −1 at current rates of 500 and 2000 mA g −1 , respectively. This work would be meaningful in the preparation of complex oxides/carbon composites with porous nanostructure as anodes for LIBs.

This work focuses on the effect of the of Mn 3+ /Mn 4+ ratio in the reactants on the structure and electrochemical properties of NaMn 0.9 Cu 0.1 O 2 cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. By systematically varying the manganese valence states in the reactants, we observed a phase transition from the β-phase to the P2-phase with increasing Mn 3+ concentrations in the reactants, contrary to the expected favorability of the β-phase at higher Mn 3+ levels. This finding suggests a complex interplay between the valence states of the reactants and phase formation mechanisms, which needs further investigation. Additionally, electrochemical testing indicated that the phase composition significantly impacts the electrochemical performance of the material. Specifically, the M0 sample, possessing the optimal P2/β ratio, exhibited excellent electrochemical performances, achieving a high initial discharge capacity of 155.1 mA h g −1 and remains 88.1 % after 40 cycles. These results emphasize the importance of precursor selection and valence management in the development of high-performance cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

All-solid-state Li–S batteries (ASSLSBs) offer an opportunity to realize both high energy density , safety and reliability, via eliminating the polysulfides shuttle effect and flammable liquid electrolyte. However, the sluggish kinetics of S and Li 2 S solid conversion results in low discharge capacity at high active material loading, which is critical for ASSLSBs to implement the high energy density potential. Herein, nitrogen doped-carbon (NC) coated Li 2 S (Li 2 S@NC composite) is developed for ASSLSBs that highly improves electrochemical performance. A thin and uniform nitrogen doped-carbon layer is coated on Li 2 S via pyrolysis deposition approach to prepare Li 2 S@NC. The as obtained Li 2 S@NC composite exhibits greatly enhanced electrochemical performance with high reversible capacity, high coulombic efficiency of ~100%, good rate capability and cycling stability. Particularly, outstanding electrochemical performance with high capacity of 931 mAh g −1 can also be obtained at both high Li 2 S content (43%) and high areal Li 2 S loading (10.4 mg cm −2 ).

In this paper, corrosion resistance of the Mg–4.0Zn–0.2Ca alloy was modified by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) process. The microstructure and phase constituents of MAO layer were characterized by SEM, XRD and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The corrosion resistance of MAO treated Mg–4.0Zn–0.2Ca alloy in the simulated body fluid were characterized by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The microstructure results indicated that a kind of ceramic film was composed by MgO and MgF 2 was formed on the surface of Mg–4.0Zn–0.2Ca alloy after MAO treatment. The electrochemical test reveals that the corrosion resistance of MAO treated samples increase 1 order of magnitude. The mechanical intensity test showed that the MAO treated samples has suitable mechanical properties.

Tin disulfide (SnS 2 ) has been attracted intensive attention in the field of photoelectric conversion due to its appropriate band gap and glorious electronic mobility. The hexagon SnS 2 nanosheets has been successfully integrated through a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. SEM images, Raman spectra, atomic force microscope and X-ray diffraction patterns are measured to carry out to investigate the morphologies and microstructures of SnS 2 nanosheetsm, confirming a good crystallized SnS 2 . Then, the photochemical activity of as-prepared SnS 2 nanosheets were tested in the electrolyte of Na 2 SO 4 . Photoelectrochemical tests demonstrate that the photocurrent density of as-prepared hexagon SnS 2 nanosheets (1.66 µA/cm 2 at a light intensity of 140 mW/cm 2 ) is hugely increased with increasing light intensity. Furthermore, after 50 cycles, the photocurrent density does not change significantly, indicating that the as-prepared SnS 2 nanosheets possesses superior stabilities. The outstanding photocatalytic performances of SnS 2 nanosheets are not only resulted from its huge specific surface area, which can harvest more light and provide more active sites, but also attributed to its superior charge mobility, which can facilitate the separation photogenerated electron–hole pairs and the charge transfer between SnS 2 nanosheets and the electrode. The most important is that our work reveals the hexagonal SnS 2 nanosheets not only possess superior photoelectrochemical properties, but also have great potential applications in energy conversion and photodetector fields.

Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) has gained enormous attentions due to the high capacity and voltage platform. Nevertheless, poor intrinsic electronic conductivities severely restrict the further development. Herein, a feasible strategy to construct unique dimensional gradient structure of the wolfram doped NVP is proposed via a facile sol–gel method. The introduction of W 6+ with the smaller ionic radius parallelized with local V 3+ ions could stabilize the open NASICON structure of NVP and generate vast of beneficial holes to accelerate the electronic transportation. Notably, the wolfram can combine with the superfluous carbon layer and form the new conductive WC phase to further promote the electronic conductivity. Meanwhile, the coated carbon layers and enwrapped CNTs construct an effective conductive framework for accelerated electronic migration. The twining CNTs promote to inhibit the growth of the sintered grains, reducing the particle size to provide shortened pathway for the migration of Na + . Distinctively, the modified Na 2.97 V 2.99 W 0.019 (PO 4 ) 3 /C@CNTs (W0.01-NVP) composite delivers a superior electrochemical performance. Significantly, it can submit a high reversible capability of 112.5 mAh g −1 at 5C with retaining 86% initial capacity over 500 cycles. As for a super high rate of 50C, it reveals an incredible capacity of 92.6 mAh g −1 and remains 84.5 mAh g −1 over 400 cycles, corresponding to a high retention of 91.30%. The superior electrochemical performance is derived from the enhanced crystal structure resulted from wolfram substitution and the beneficial dimensional conductive system consisting of new WC phase, coated carbon layers and enwrapped CNTs.

In this work, we co-doped barium (Ba) and zirconium (Zr) in a lithium garnet oxide , to improve its electrochemical properties . In the doping range of y = 0–1.0, the Li 6+y La 3−y Ba y NbZrO 12 (LLBNZO) oxides maintain a cubic crystal structure. A secondary phase of BaZrO 3 emerges when y ≥ 0.75. The ionic conductivity of the developed garnet oxides first increases with Ba-doping in the low doping range and then decreases in the high doping range. It reaches the maximum value in Li 6.5 La 2.5 Ba 0.5 NbZrO 12 when y = 0.5. Cyclic voltammetry shows that the garnet oxides have a wide electrochemical voltage window up to 6 V. The constant-current polarization results on the symmetric cells assembled from Li 6.5 La 2.5 Ba 0.5 NbZrO 12 reveal that this garnet oxide is chemically stable against metallic lithium and has stable cycling performance.

Their carbon-coated composites are obtained by a heat treatment in the presence of citric acid. These composites were characterized by powder X-ray diffractometry, scanning and transmission electron microscopy , Raman spectroscopy , and thermogravimetric analysis . The lithium storage capacity and cycling performance of the optimized Li 2 Mn 0.5 Fe 0.5 SiO 4 /C composite are greatly enhanced when tested as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
