Ni 2 P and black phosphorus (BP) exhibit their respectively excellent performance in capacitance. Flake material BP is a good phosphorus (P) source candidate for the synthesis of Ni 2 P, and is also a good carrier that can contribute to the good dispersion of Ni 2 P particles. Herein, BP flakes were prepared first by wet milling method and Ni 2 P/BP composites with different reactant mole ratio for nickel (Ni) to P were prepared by a facial solvothermal method. The electrochemical property of milled BP flakes and Ni 2 P/BP composites were investigated by cyclic voltammetry , charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy . It was found that the Ni 2 P/BP composite, with an appropriate reactant mole ratio for Ni to P, had the high capacity of 1215 F/g at the current density of 1 A/g and the remained stable capacity of 590 F/g after 1000 circle at the current density of 2 A/g, exhibiting good capacitance energy storage performance.

Metal oxides as electrode materials are of great potential for rechargeable aqueous batteries. However, they suffer from inferior cycle stability and rate capability because of poor electronic and ionic conductivities. Herein, taking vertically orientated Bi2O3 nanoflakes on Ti substrates as examples, we find that the δ-Bi2O3 electrode with plenty of positively charged oxygen defects show remarkably higher specific capacity (264 mA h g–1) and far superior rate capability than that of α-Bi2O3 with less oxygen vacancies. Through pinpointing the existence form and the role of oxygen vacancies within the electrochemical processes, we demonstrate that oxygen vacancies in δ-Bi2O3 can not only promote electrical conductivity but also serve as central entrepots collecting OH– groups via electrostatic force effect, which has boosted the oxidation reaction and enhanced the electrochemical properties. Our work merits an excellent Bi2O3 negative electrode material via giving full play to the role of oxygen vacancies in electrochemical energy storage.

Quantitative analysis of Cr-adsorption from a gas phase on CeO 2 , pure and doped BaCeO 3 was performed in combination with surface techniques and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy . The Cr-adsorption on BaCeO 3 is 3 times higher than on CeO 2 and it increases by 12–25% on In doping in Ba(Ce 1−x In x )O 3 (x = 0.1–0.3) in the temperature range of 600–700 °C. These perovskites adsorb chromium with the formation of a multi-phase surface layer containing BaCr 6+ O 4 and cerium oxide. Coexistence of small fractions of Cr 3+ and Cr 5+ cations in the surface layer was identified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The thickness of the surface layer and its morphology vary with temperature, affecting the conductivity of Ce containing perovskites below 700 °C. BaCrO 4 exhibits under air noticeably larger anisotropic thermal expansion than BaCeO 3 . The results indicate that high tolerance to Cr-gaseous species should be considered as an important criterion for further development of materials for proton-conducting SOFCs.

We report here a case of combination reaction between MoSe 2 and WSe 2 in certain proportions to improve electrochemical performance of Mo 1- x W x Se 2 compound materials. Two-dimensional (2D) Mo 1- x W x Se 2 flower-like crystals (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) were synthesized using a solution synthesis method, and then Mo 1- x W x Se 2 -based electrodes were prepared using a powder pellet method. Their structure and electrochemical performance were respectively measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and electrochemical workstation. The results indicate that only Mo 0.25 W 0.75 Se 2 -based electrode (x = 0.75), compared with other electrodes, delivers excellent specific capacity and stability with the capacity retention of 74.4% after 5000 charging-discharging deep cycles at the current density of 2 A g −1 in 1.0 mol/L KOH aqueous electrolyte, and exhibits a Coulombic efficiency almost 100% after 5000 cycles. This phenomenon is attributed to a situation that Mo 0.25 W 0.75 Se 2 active material has a quite different electronic band structure from the other remaining materials. It is therefore concluded that the combination reaction enables Mo 1- x W x Se 2 composite materials to realize their potential in electrochemical energy storage.

Antimony sulfide (Sb 2 S 3 ) is a relatively abundant and environmentally friendly emerging photovoltaic material, which has been gradually applied in solar cells and photocatalysis. It has high light absorption capacity, but it suffers many deep-level defects and is prone to recombination of electron-hole pairs within itself. Here, by constructing the Sb 2 S 3 /CdIn 2 S 4 S-scheme heterojunction, we avoided the problem that electrons and holes cannot be separated and transported effectively due to many Sb 2 S 3 defects (more recombination centers), and improved its application in the field of photoelectrochemical water splitting. Meanwhile, in order to further improve the performance of Sb 2 S 3 /CdIn 2 S 4 photoelectrode, we introduced CdS energy platform between Sb 2 S 3 and CdIn 2 S 4 to form a Sb 2 S 3 /CdS/CdIn 2 S 4 cascaded S-scheme heterojunction. Compared with Sb 2 S 3 monomer, Sb 2 S 3 /CdS/CdIn 2 S 4 had higher absorbance intensity, IPCE value, ABPE value, and lower charge transfer resistance. In addition, the photocurrent density of the Sb 2 S 3 /CdS/CdIn 2 S 4 photoelectrode was about 4.20 mA/cm 2 (1.23 V vs. RHE), which was 1.3 times higher than that of the Sb 2 S 3 /CdIn 2 S 4 photoelectrode (3.29 mA/cm 2 ) and 3.2 times higher than that of monomer Sb 2 S 3 photoelectrode (1.32 mA/cm 2 ). This method offers new prospects for optimizing the performance of antimony chalcogenides photoelectrodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting.

In this study, CdS/BiVO 4 heterojunction was successfully synthesized on the FTO-coated glass substrate through electrodeposition annealing followed by the second electrodeposition. First, the BiVO 4 films were prepared by electrodepositing nanoporous BiOI, and then, it was converted to BiVO 4 via annealing. Then, CdS was electrodeposited onto the BiVO 4 /FTO electrode. The obtained CdS/BiVO 4 heterojunction shows higher photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance and higher stability for PEC water splitting than the blank BiVO 4 films. The maximum photocurrent density of 6.6 mA cm −2 at 0.4 V vs Ag/AgCl was obtained for CdS/BiVO 4 /FTO, which is 4.2 times of that of the blank BiVO 4 /FTO (1.6 mA cm −2 ). The enhancement mechanism of the CdS/BiVO 4 /FTO heterojunction was investigated. The CdS achieves the efficient visible light absorption and forms heterostructure with BiVO 4 , which promotes the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs in BiVO 4 to enhance PEC performance of CdS/BiVO 4 heterojunction.

High performance and low process cost are two contradictory issues, which limited the commercial application of Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO). Here, defects and TiO 2 co-enhanced LTO have been synthesized by a simple solid-state method. The crystal structure and morphology of the as-synthesized samples were characterized. The results show that the uniform nanoparticles with spinel structure contained defects and TiO 2 . Defects and TiO 2 co-enhanced LTO shows outstanding reversible discharge capacity of 168.2 mAh g −1 at 1 C after 500 cycles. Further, it presents a stability discharge ability of 155 mAh g −1 at 55 °C at 1 C after 500 cycles. The advanced electrochemical performance could be attributed to the defects and TiO 2 in LTO, which enhance conductivity and produce rich reaction interface, facilitating Li + ion diffusion kinetics. The as-synthesized LTO shows high performance in conjunction with low process cost.

Polyaniline (PANI), a typical conducting polymer, has attracted great interest as an electrode material. A series of PANIs were prepared through fast microwave-assisted chemical oxidative polymerization with varying HCl and APS concentrations here. It was found that the microwave synthesized PANIs had ~4 times higher for the yields and 7~10 times higher for the electrical conductivity in comparison to PANI samples prepared using conventional method. PANI nanosheets could easily be fabricated in weakly acidic solution due to their oligomeric structure, which contained flat phenazine rings. By contrast, linear PANI chains produced in highly acidic solutions formed nanofibers. The APS concentration did not significantly affect the molecular structures of PANIs under the conditions here. However, increasing the concentration of APS produced nanofibers with shorter branches, which may be due to secondary nucleation during chain growth resulting from increases in active initiation centers. The electrical conductivity and electrochemical performance of PANIs were both improved with increasing HCl and APS concentrations. Improvements due to increases in HCl concentration may be attributed to additions in conjugation length and enrichment of doping levels, while improvements due to increases in APS concentration could be attributed to the increased crystallinity of PANI, which facilitates ion transport.Keywords:microwave;polyaniline;yield;nanostructure;electrochemical

The band structure of heterojunction plays an important role in the performance of actual application and can be adjusted by the change of preparation condition. Herein, Cu 2 O nanofilms with different band structures were prepared via electrodeposition method by modifying the solution environment. With the value of pH increased from 7 to 12, the conductivity of the Cu₂O nanofilms shifted from n-type to p-type. Combined the obtained Cu 2 O film with TiO 2 nanoarray, the Cu 2 O/TiO 2 heterojunction were prepared. The photoelectrochemical performance of the Cu 2 O/TiO 2 heterojunction was affected by the interfacial band structure. The T7 sample has higher photocurrent (450 μA) caused by the unique S-scheme band structure, the T11 sample with a p-n junction structure takes second place (225 μA). The n-n type II heterojunction has the lowest photocurrent (20 μA). The Fermi level of Cu 2 O nanofilm was affected by the type of defects, such as oxygen and copper vacancies, leading to changes of band structure at the interface between Cu 2 O and TiO 2 . The obtained result further illustrates the importance of energy band engineering, and provides route and sight for the development and application of Cu 2 O/TiO 2 heterojunction.

The perovskite-type SrMn 0.875 Nb 0.125 O 3 (SMN) and SrCo 0.875 Nb 0.125 O 3 (SCN) materials are prepared through the solid-state reaction method as novel oxygen-intercalated electrode materials for supercapacitor . The crystal structure, powder morphology, and electrochemical performance have been characterized in detail. SMN exhibits a six-layer hexagonal (6 H ) structure with space group P 6 3 / mmc , while SCN shows the tetragonal structure of space group P 4/ mmm . Under the three-electrode system with 1 M Na 2 SO 4 neutral electrolyte solution, the specific capacitance ( C s ) of SCN can reach 894 mF cm −2 at 1 mA cm −2 , which is 4.7 times the value of SMN at the same condition. For SCN, the superiority of electrochemical performance is attributed to its porous surface morphology , perovskite structure with shorter B O bond length and large B-O-B bond angle, and a higher oxygen vacancy content. When combined with activated carbon (AC) electrode, the SCN//AC asymmetric supercapacitor with a working voltage of 2.0 V presents a specific energy density of 82.33 μWh cm −2 , while maintaining prominent cycling stability with a capacity retention of 88.88% after 10,000 cycles.

Coating the carbon layer onto the surface of TiO 2 electrode is seen as an effective strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries , particularly the reduced charge transfer resistance . The reduced charge transfer resistance was attributed to the chemical bonding between the phases. In this paper, however, we show that it is not only the chemical bonding but also the change of the activation energy differences that is responsible. Herein, we fabricate the carbon layer coated TiO 2 electrode (TiO 2 /C) and combine the recently proposed modified Planck-Nernst-Poisson coupled Frumkin-Butler-Volmer (MPNP-FBV) model to address the above-mentioned issues. By combining the experimental results with the electrochemical model, the charge transfer resistance and the interface behaviors are analyzed. The results show that the performance of TiO 2 /C electrode based cells is determined by the carbon layer/TiO 2 interface, while the cells based on TiO 2 electrodes are limited by the electrolyte/TiO 2 interface. Comparison between the electrochemical simulations and the experimental data indicates that this increased activation energy difference leads to the decrease of the charge transfer resistance. These results imply that activation energy difference across the interfaces can be a critical parameter for designing high performance batteries .

It is popular to choose the cubic phase Li7La3Zr2O12(c-LLZO) to synthesize the PEO-based complex membrane in all-solid-state battery. In this work, Ba/Nb elements were selected to achieve Li6.75La3Zr1.75Nb0.25O12 (LLZNO) and Li7La2.75Ba0.25Zr1.75Nb0.25O12 (LLBZNO) with high ion conductivity, which effectively enhance the electrochemical properties of the complex solid membrane and the all-solid-state battery. The higher ion mobility of LLBZNO compared to that of LLZNO and LLZO is calculated by ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulation and further confirmed by experiments. Results show that the cubic phase of LLBZNO is more stable than that of LLZNO. The complex membrane of LLBZNO@ polyethylene oxide (PEO) (CPE-2-x wt%) exhibits the better electrochemical properties than LLZNO@PEO (CPE-1-x wt%) complex membrane. In detail, the CPE-2–10 wt% has the outstanding lithium transfer number ({t}_{{{Li}}^{+}}) of 0.63, as well as the excellent compatibility with lithium metal anode. In addition, at 0.1 mAcm−2, the lithium/CPE-2–10 wt%/lithium symmetric cell remains stable after 1000 h. It is LLBZNO that makes LLBZNO@PEO composite polymer electrolyte(CPE) the potential for the application in all-solid-state lithium battery.
