We describe our recent progress on a novel method to prepare Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni hydrogen storage alloy covered with nanostructured Co 3 O 4 by utilizing zelolitic imidazolate framework 67 (ZIF-67) as the template. Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni@C@Co 3 O 4 composite is prepared through a dopamine self-polymerization and a facile precipitation reaction with the subsequent thermal treatment. This specific composite structure combines the high conductivity of carbon together with the promising catalytic property of nanostructured Co 3 O 4 , therefore the enhanced electrochemical activity and stability are realized. As a result, Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni@C@Co 3 O 4 composite electrode possesses a capacity conservation rate of 56.1% after 300 charging/discharging cycles, remarkably larger than that of Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni (25.3%). Moreover, a study of the kinetics demonstrates that nanostructured Co 3 O 4 coating accelerates the charge-transfer reaction of the electrode. These results prove that coating with carbon and nanostructured Co 3 O 4 is a potential method for enhancing electrochemical hydrogen storage properties of hydrogen storage alloys.

In order to restrain the capacity decay of nickel-rich materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in advanced energy applications, a Ni-rich cathode (LiNi 0.88 Co 0.07 Al 0.05 O 2 , LANCA) with high-rate capability and cycle life was designed and prepared by coating γ-LiAlO 2 and doping Al 3+ on the surface and inside of the secondary particles, respectively. Specifically, the γ-LiAlO 2 -coated and Al 3+ -doped LANCA samples were synthesized by a simple strategy of pre-coating Ni 0.88 Co 0.07 Al 0.05 (OH) 2 , based on aluminum isopropoxide hydrolysis combined with a post-sintering lithiation process. With the γ-LiAlO 2 and Al 3+ , the capacity retention ratio of the cathode is tremendously improved from 61.7 to 83.6% at 1 C rate after 100 cycles. Even at a heavy current density of 10 C for the LANCA cathode, a high reversible capacity of 154.4 mA h g − 1 can be acquired, which amount to the 82.5% capacity retention at 0.2 C. Detailed morphology and structure observation shows that the side reaction at the electrolyte-cathode interface was suppressed, the structural degradation and intergranular cracking were suppressed, while the diffusion of Li + and conductivity were improved. Therefore, this ingenious structural design has certain reference significance for the development and commercialization of high-performance cathode materials for electric power.

The spinel composite doped with TiO 2 (TiO 2 @ZnFe 2 O 4 ) was prepared via in situ fabrication and template method to extract uranium(VI) from solution. Compared with ZnFe 2 O 4 and TiO 2 /ZnFe 2 O 4 , TiO 2 @ZnFe 2 O 4 showed a high adsorption efficiency (98.3%) and adsorption capacity (716.2 mg g −1 ), which mainly related to the uniform porous structure of TiO 2 @ZnFe 2 O 4 . After five adsorption–desorption cycles, the removal efficiency of TiO 2 @ZnFe 2 O 4 remained above 90%, indicating that TiO 2 @ZnFe 2 O 4 had excellent reusability. Besides, TiO 2 @ZnFe 2 O 4 possessed excellent adsorption selectivity for uranium(VI) in the existence of competitive ions. The Langmuir adsorption model and pseudo-second order model fitted well the adsorption process, which demonstrated that the remove behavior of uranium(VI) on TiO 2 @ZnFe 2 O 4 was a monolayer chemisorption process. The extraction behavior of TiO 2 @ZnFe 2 O 4 for uranium(VI) was mainly attributed to electrostatic attraction, complexation reaction and oxygen vacancy filling. This study not only provides a high efficiency adsorbent (TiO 2 @ZnFe 2 O 4 ) for the extraction of uranium(VI) from solution but also offers a new effective way to enhance the performance of spinel composite.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have gained more and more interest for grid-level energy storage applications compared with current lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this paper, well-uniform and dispersed spindle-shaped NiCo 2 O 4 particles were synthesized by solvothermal method, and then graphene-encapsulated NiCo 2 O 4 (NiCo 2 O 4 @G) was formed core-shell nanostructures , which greatly enhanced the electronic and ionic (electro-active) conduction and also effectively buffering to accommodate the strain. Benefit from its structure feature, the prepared NiCo 2 O 4 @G core-shell nanostructures composite shows good cycling with a capacity of up to ∼400 mAh g −1 (100 mA g −1 ) in 100 cycles for NIBs anode. The facile synthesis process and excellent SIBs behaviors in this paper are expected to be extended in developing other anode materials in battery system.

To improve the stability and performance of the cathode materials, an ionic conductor layer was coated successfully on the surface of Li 1.2 Mn 0.54 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 O 2 (LMNC) microspheres. The structural analysis confirmed that LiV 3 O 8 coating did not change the basic structure of LMNC, and all obtained materials are solid solutions with a good-layered structure and a good crystallinity. The microscopy measurement showed that the thickness of the coating layer for the LV-3 sample is about 2.5 nm. This appropriate layer is helpful for improving the surface stability of LMNC and the diffusion of lithium, leading to an obvious enhancement of the electrochemical performance. Our result confirmed that the average discharge specific capacities for LV-3 sample at 0.1 C, 0.2 C, 0.5 C, 1 C, and 3 C are respectively 265.9, 219.1, 188.0, 156.3, and 121.5 mAh g −1 , which are much larger than the values of other samples. After 50 cycles at a 1 C rate, the capacity retentions for different samples are 60.7%, 74.0%, 87.6%, and 70.4%, indicating that LV-3 sample exhibits the best performance. Furthermore, EIS measurements showed that the diffusion coefficient for LV-3 sample is calculated to be 1.26 × 10 −15 cm 2 s −1 , which is also the largest value among all considered samples. Our experiments identified that coating an ionic conductive layer on the cathode material surface will significantly improve their rate capacity and cycling stability.

The preparation and characterization of Pb 1- x Ba x Li 2 Ti 6 O 14 ( x = 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1) as anode materials for lithium ion batteries are investigated in this research. The structure, morphology and electrochemical properties are compared with each other by changing the Pb/Ba atomic ratio in Pb 1- x Ba x Li 2 Ti 6 O 14 . It can be observed that each sample shows the same orthorhombic structure with Cmca space group. Moreover, it can also be found that the working potential, conductivity, cycling and rate performances of as-received samples gradually change along with the evolution of x in Pb 1- x Ba x Li 2 Ti 6 O 14 ( x = 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1). Electrochemical evaluation shows that the operating potential of the as-received sample gradually decreases with increasing x value in Pb 1- x Ba x Li 2 Ti 6 O 14 and its initial charge capacity increases reversely. Moreover, different Pb/Ba atomic ratio also brings different cycling stability for Pb 1- x Ba x Li 2 Ti 6 O 14 . Especially for Pb 3/4 Ba 1/4 Li 2 Ti 6 O 14 , it presents better electrochemical properties than other samples. After 120 cycles, the reversible capacity of Pb 3/4 Ba 1/4 Li 2 Ti 6 O 14 is maintained at 129.7 mAh g −1 with capacity retention of 88.3%. In addition, its electrochemical reversibility is also demonstrated by in-situ X-ray investigation.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), as next-generation energy storage devices, can be made by a similar production process to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The key to accelerating their commercialization is to discover appropriate high-performance electrode materials with low cost, nontoxicity, and simple synthetic features. Herein, layered-structure Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 , with the advantages of appropriate charge/discharge plateaus, superior stability, environmental friendliness, and ease of preparation using cheap raw materials, is selected for assembly in full-cell battery packs to evaluate its suitability for practical application. When evaluated in a coin cell, it has a capacity of 77.2 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 after 10 000 cycles with capacity retention of 99.9%, demonstrating its excellent stability. In the case of a soft-pack battery, it retains 22.3 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 and 18.1 mAh g −1 at 0.05 A g −1 after 50 cycles. After cycling, there is no sodium dendrite formation or active material shedding, further confirming its safety in practical application. Therefore, Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 as another intercalation/deintercalation mechanism material has application potential in the future.

Copper-doped lithium manganese spinel LiCu x Mn 2-x O 4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) as lithium ion cathode material were synthesized by a fameless combustion synthesis at 500 °C for 3 h, two-stage calcination at 600 °C for 3 h. The phase composition was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), which indicated that all samples exhibited a single spinel structure except that LiCu 0.08 Mn 1.92 O 4 had a little impurity of Mn 3 O 4 . Micro-morphology of the materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), suggesting particle size of samples was nearly uniform when copper-doped amount x ranged from 0 to 0.06, the particle of LiCu 0.08 Mn 1.92 O 4 and LiCu 0.10 Mn 1.90 O 4 more seriously agglomerated together than that of other samples. The cycle performance tests indicated that the sample LiCu 0.06 Mn 1.94 O 4 had the highest initial discharge specific capacity of 128.1 mA h . g -1 and the 150 th capacity retention was 70.1% at 0.2 C rate. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of the sample LiCu 0.06 Mn 1.94 O 4 illustrated that appropriate copper-doped modification can improve electrochemical reversibility as well as suppress electrochemical impedance.

Nanoscaling and alloying techniques for silicon-based materials are widely recognized as vital technological approaches to effectively address the challenges associated with volume expansion and poor conductivity in silicon anodes. Developing short process, cost-effective preparation methods and shape controllable silicon-based materials is expected to improve their cyclability. Herein, utilizing the superior electrical conductivity of copper metal and its stable alloy interaction with silicon, the present study introduced a simple synthetic process by incorporating nanoscale Cu 2 O into a SiO 2 dioxide matrix under a combination of hydrothermal reaction with Cu(NO 3 ) 2 as the copper source and further sintering treatment. Under the conditions of a Cu:Si molar ratio to 3:8 under 850 °C by 2.6 V of constant electrolsyis for 3 h, straight silicon nanowires with a cross-sectional distribution were obtained. The Cu 3 Si alloy particles were enriched around silicon nanowires. Experimental testing was conducted to evaluate the electrochemical storage capabilities of Cu 3 Si/Si nanowires, resulting in an initial specific capacity of 2630.7 mAh g -1 and an initial coulombic efficiency of 88.94%. After 100 charge-discharge cycles, the discharge specific capacity reached 1675.4 mAh g -1 , with a capacity retention rate of 66.20%. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of constructing a Cu 3 Si conductive network for solving the volume expansion and conductivity problems of Si and the distinctive Cu 3 Si/Si architecture offers an exemplary model for the design of silicon-based composite anodes for advanced lithium-ion batteries.

A metallically conductive TiB 2 is developed to construct multifunctional separator toward improved lithium-sulfur (Li–S) battery performance. Coupled with two-dimensional graphene, the obtained TiB 2 @G separator fulfills a synergistic combination of strong physical and chemical sulfur immobilization as well as a high-efficiency sulfur reutilization, thus establishing a robust barrier against the polysulfide shuttling and enabling a fast and durable sulfur electrochemistry . As a result, cells based on TiB 2 @G separator exhibit a high sulfur utilization with 1350 mA h g −1 capacity at 0.05C, superb rate capability up to 5.0C, and excellent cyclability with a high capacity retention over 85% after 300 cycles at 0.5C. Moreover, significantly mitigated self-discharge and considerably high areal capacity of 5.8 mA h cm −2 can be also achieved, indicating the great promise of this separator design for the development of high-performance Li–S batteries.

Chitosan was applied as the electrode binder material for a spherical graphite anode in lithium-ion batteries. Compared to using poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) binder, the graphite anode using chitosan exhibited enhanced electrochemical performances in terms of the first Columbic efficiency, rate capability and cycling behavior. With similar specific capacity, the first Columbic efficiency of the chitosan-based anode is 95.4% compared to 89.3% of the PVDF-based anode. After 200 charge–discharge cycles at 0.5 C , the capacity retention of the chitosan-based electrode showed to be significantly higher than that of the PVDF-based electrode. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements were carried out to investigate the formation and evolution of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed on the graphite electrodes. The results show that a thin, homogenous and stable SEI layer is formed on the graphite electrode surface with chitosan binder compared with that using the conventional PVDF binder
