Antimony-based electrode materials with conventional slurry-casting process still face great challenges such as tedious preparation process and unsatisfying cycling stability for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). Therefore, the design and fabrication of integrated electrodes with binder-free and even current collector-free are highly significant. Herein, we fabricated flexible Sb/Sb 2 O 3 -C nanofibers (NFs) films utilizing a facile combination of electrospinning technique and carbonization . Sb/Sb 2 O 3 nanoparticles are well embedded in carbon NFs with a fiber diameter of ca. 340 nm. The fabricated NFs films can be directly used as binder and current collector-free anodes for SIBs and exhibited high-capacity and long-lifetime cycles (385.6 mAh g −1 over 500 cycles). Ex situ SEM and TEM observations re-appear their intact fibrous network morphology and stable one-dimensional composite structures after hundreds of discharging-charging cycles, demonstrating that Sb/Sb 2 O 3 -C NFs film is a promising binder-free electrode for SIBs.

Covalently grafting redox-active polymer to graphene sheets is a practical approach for developing high-performance organic cathode materials . Here, we report a facile preparation of radical polymer poly(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl-4-yl methacrylate) (PTMA) grafted graphene sheets (rGO) composites (rGO- g -PTMA) with various PTMA contents via one-step radical polymerization , and their applications as cathodes for Li-ion/Na-ion batteries. The energy storage capacity of rGO- g -PTMA is determined by the relative contribution from the battery-type redox reaction of PTMA and the pseudocapacitive behavior of rGO sheets. The optimized rGO- g -PTMA 50 composite with 50 wt% of PTMA shows excellent energy storage performance, which is almost two times higher than that of the physically blended rGO/PTMA 50 owing to reduced solubility of PTMA in electrolyte solution and improved electrical conductivity . As cathode materials for Li-ion/Na-ion batteries, rGO- g -PTMA 50 shows superior performance including high capacity, good cycling and rate stability. Hence, this covalently bonded radical polymers on graphene provide new option for developing high-performance organic cathode materials for Li-ion/Na-ion batteries.

In this work, Zr 4+ doped P2-Na 0.75 Mn 0.55 Ni 0.25 Co 0.05 Fe 0.10 Zr 0.05 O 2 has been synthesized and investigated as high-rate sodium-ion battery cathode material for the first time. XRD results indicate that Zr-ion with a big size cannot completely dissolve into the crystal structure, but the residual ZrO 2 shows little impact on the electrochemical performance in comparison with the post-added ZrO 2 . With the substitution of Zr 4+ for Fe 3+ , the lattice parameter a decreases but c increases, resulting in the reduced lattice volume. In comparison with the Zr-free sample, Na 0.75 Mn 0.55 Ni 0.25 Co 0.05 Fe 0.10 Zr 0.05 O 2 (Zr05) can deliver a discharge capacity of about 95, 74, 61 and 53 mAh g −1 at 2C, 5C, 8C and 10C. At the current density of 2C, the capacity retention after 100 cycles has increased from 57% of Zr0 to 74% of Zr05. The results demonstrate that Zr-ion substitution can effectively improve the rate performance and cycling stability of P2-structure cathode materials. The role of Zr 4+ can be summarized as follows: (1) Zr-O ( △H f 298K (Zr-O) = 760 kJ mol −1 ) has a stronger bond energy than that of Fe O ( △H f 298K (Fe-O) = 409 kJ mol −1 ), which enhances the structure stability and cycling performance; (2) the aliovalent substitution of Zr 4+ for Fe 3+ enhances the electronic conductivity, which is favorable for the rate capability; (3) the substitution of Zr 4+ for Fe 3+ can be beneficial to Na + conduction because it increases disorder in the transition metal (TM) layers and can prevent Na+/vacancy ordering, which further enhances the rate capability.

High temperature sodium batteries with inorganic electrolytes are attracting increasing attention due to their high thermal stability, reliability, long-cycle life and safety. Despite the intensive investigation of Na-NiCl 2 batteries during last decades, designing a stable conducting network in the cathode is still challenging but desirable. In this work, a new cathode structure composed of Ni nanowires with an effective electron conducting network is proposed for planar sodium–nickel chloride batteries . During the first stage of charge, Ni nanowires reacted with Cl ion to form NiCl 2 on the surface and the excessive Ni nanowires inside can serve as conducting framework to facilitate the fast electron transport . As expected, the metal nanowires show a high specific capacity of 130 mA h g −1 (∼14 mAh cm −2 ) at 0.05 C after 100 cycles. Meanwhile, the batteries show stable cycling performance at 0.05 C with a high cut-off energy density of 360 W h kg −1 , much higher than the traditional tubular sodium-nickel chloride batteries (∼100 Wh kg −1 ). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the cathode after long cycling reveal the ultra-slow growth of Ni particles, confirming the excellent stability of the prepared nanowires cathode.

A facile, safe, and inexpensive reducing agent, sodium hypophosphite (NaH 2 PO 2 ·H 2 O), has been successfully used to perform ambient temperature living radical polymerizations of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (St). The rapid radical polymerizations were readily obtained at 25°C, i.e., MMA reached a conversion of ca 90% after 2.5 h, and St reached a conversion of ca 80% after 40 h. The polymerizations of MMA and St exhibited excellent living/controlled nature, as evidenced by pseudo first-order kinetics of polymerization, linear evolution of molecular weights with increasing monomer conversions, and narrow molecular weight distributions. The various experimental parameters—ligand, solvent, and molar ratio of NaH 2 PO 2 ·H 2 O to CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O—were varied to improve the control of polymerization, molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution. 1 H NMR analyses and chain-extension reactions confirm the high chain-end functionality of the resultant poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The crystal structures of monohydrate and anhydrous substance were determined from the single crystals for the first time. The phase transformation between anhydrate and monohydrate of sodium dehydroacetate was in situ investigated by using Raman spectroscopy. The mechanism of the phase transformation was proposed. The results showed that the monohydrate crystalline phase of sodium dehydroacetate can transform to anhydrous phase through solid–solid transformation upon heating or solution-mediated phase transformation. From powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) data, it was found that the anhydrous crystals obtained by these two methods are the same in structure. However, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results revealed that the surface of the anhydrous sodium dehydroacetate crystals obtained by high-temperature dehydration was much rougher than that obtained by solution-mediated phase transformation. Furthermore, the dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) results showed that the anhydrous crystals with rough surface had faster hydration rate than the anhydrous crystals with smooth surface when increasing humidity. The reasons behind these phenomena were discussed.

Sodium-ion batteries have been widely considered as promising energy storage systems due to the abundance and low cost of sodium . However, to find a kind of anode material with appropriate sodium storage and high structural stability still remains challenging. In this work, self-supported porous carbon fibers were prepared by electrospinning technique and plasma treatments . It's found that the porous carbon fibers become more loose after the plasma treatments, and the surface compositions are changed. Results show that the material after plasma treatments could deliver capacities higher than 200 mAh/g when the current density is 1000 mA/g. EIS results show that the charge transfer resistances of the treated material keep more stable after electrochemical cycles. And these improvements may be results of the plasma treatments. Detailed mechanisms are studied in this research.

P2-type layered manganese-based oxides have attracted considerable interest as economical, cathode materials with high energy density for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Despite their potential, these materials still face challenges related to sluggish kinetics and structural instability. In this study, a composite cathode material, Na 0.67 Ni 0.23 Mn 0.67 V 0.1 O 2 @Na 3 V 2 O 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F was developed by surface-coating P2-type Na 0.67 Ni 0.23 Mn 0.67 V 0.1 O 2 with a thin layer of Na 3 V 2 O 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F to enhance both the electrochemical sodium storage and material air stability. The optimized Na 0.67 Ni 0.23 Mn 0.67 V 0.1 O 2 @5wt %Na 3 V 2 O 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F exhibited a high discharge capacity of 176 mA h g −1 within the 1.5-4.1 V range at a low current density of 17 mA g −1 . At an increased current density of 850 mA g −1 within the same voltage window, it still delivered a substantial initial discharge capacity of 112 mAh g −1 . These findings validate the significant enhancement of ion diffusion capabilities and rate performance in the P2-type Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 material conferred by the composite cathode. Graphical We propose a composite cathode material, Na 0.67 Ni 0.23 Mn 0.67 V 0.1 O 2 @Na 3 V 2 O 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F, featuring synergistic modification through doping and coating. The optimized Na 0.67 Ni 0.23 Mn 0.67 V 0.1 O 2 @5wt %Na 3 V 2 O 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F exhibited a high discharge capacity of 176 mAh g −1 within the 1.5–4.1 V range at a low current density of 17 mA g −1 . At an increased current density of 850 mA g −1 within the same voltage window, it still delivered a substantial initial discharge capacity of 112 mAh g −1 .

Layered tin monosulfide (SnS) is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries because of its high theoretical capacity of 1020 mA h g–1. Its large interlayer spacing permits fast sodium-ion transport, making it a viable candidate for sodium-ion capacitors (SICs). In this work, we designed and synthesized oriented SnS nanosheets confined in graphene in the presence of poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) by electrostatic self-assembly during hydrothermal growth. SnS nanosheets growing along (l00) and (0l0) directions are suppressed because of the confinement by graphene, which exhibit smaller thickness and particle size. These nanostructures expose abundant open edges because of the presence of Sn4+–O, which offers rich active sites and Na+ easy transport pathways. Vacancies formed at these edges along with S and N codopants in the graphitic structure synergistically promoted Na+ surface adsorption/desorption. Such nanocomposites with SnS nanosheets confined by N,S codoped graphene demonstrated significantly enhanced pseudocapacitance. The SICs delivered excellent energy densities of 113 and 54 W h kg–1 at power densities of 101 and 11 100 W kg–1, respectively, with 76% capacity retention after 2000 cycles at 1 A g–1.

Metal sulfides have received tremendous attention due to their superior electrochemical performance. In this study, it is the first time that the ternary tin selenium sulfide, SnSe 0.5 S 0.5 , is investigated as a potential high-performance anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The SnSe 0.5 S 0.5 /C nanocomposites have also been synthesized through a facile polyol-method followed by a simple hydrothermal process and subsequent sintering. The material demonstrated a high specific capacity and a long-term cycling stability in both Li-ion and Na-ion batteries (625 mA h g −1 for LIB at 500 mA g −1 rate after 1000 cycles, 430 mA h g −1 in a SIB at 200 mA g −1 rate after 100 cycles). Furthermore, the kinetic analysis of Li-ions and Na-ions storage revealed that the extrinsic pseudocapacitive contribution could improve the charge transfer rate during the insertion and extraction of Li-ion and Na-ion, thus enhancing the rate performance and cycling stability. These results demonstrated that the novel tin selenium sulfide (SnSe 0.5 S 0.5 ) material could potentially be an excellent anode material for Li-ion storage and Na-ion storage.

Mn-based layered oxide cathodes have attracted widespread attention due to high capacity and low cost, however, poor air stability, irreversible phase transitions, and slow kinetics inhibit their practical application. Here, we propose a universal interfacial reconstruction strategy based on converting residual alkali to tunnel phase Na0.44MnO2 for addressing the above mentioned issue simultaneously, using O3 NaNi0.4Fe0.2Mn0.4O2@2 mol % Na0.44MnO2 (NaNFM@NMO) as the prototype material. The optimized material exhibits an initial capacity and energy density comparable with lithium-ion batteries. The reversible anionic redox behavior and charge compensation mechanism of NaNFM@NMO were analyzed and verified by soft X-ray absorption spectrum and in situ X-ray absorption spectrum. Due to the intrinsic stability of the tunnel structure, excellent air stability and highly reversible structure evolution of the NaNFM@NMO cathode material are achieved, which are confirmed by contact angle test, rigorous aging test, and in situ X-ray diffraction. More importantly, the NaNFM@NMO cathode demonstrates a great match with the nonpresodiated hard carbon anode and shows excellent electrochemical performance of the full cell. Additionally, such a strategy could be also applied to modify P2-type cathodes, showing superior universality and good prospects in industrialized production. Overall, the proposed strategy could improve air stability while remaining interfacial and bulk stable simultaneously and will open up a whole new field for the optimization of other electrode materials.
