A series of LiFe 1− x Mn x PO 4 /C composites were successfully synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method. The effects of doped Mn on their micro-structures and electrochemical performances were investigated. The XRD results indicate that Mn doping cannot change the olivine lattice type of LiFePO 4 . Appropriate Mn doping can reduce the particle size of LiFePO 4 . The electrochemical performance data show that the electrochemical performances of the composite materials are enhanced at first and then decrease as the doping amount of Mn increases. Both the CV and EIS results illustrate that a small amount of doped Mn will reduce the electrode polarization and electrochemical impedance of the samples and simultaneously improve the electrochemical performance. Among all the samples, the LiFe 0.98 Mn 0.02 PO 4 /C sample has a desirable electrochemical performance, with its specific discharge capacity reaching 156.0 mAh g −1 at a rate of 0.1 C. Even at a high rate of 5 C, it can still reach 110.0 mAh g −1 . All the results indicate that an appropriate amount of doped Mn has an emphatic effect on the electrochemical performance of LiFePO 4 /C.

Tin (Sn) is considered to be an ideal candidate for the anode of sodium ion batteries. However, the design of Sn-based electrodes with maintained long-term stability still remains challenging due to their huge volume expansion (≈420%) and easy pulverization during cycling. Herein, a facile and versatile strategy for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dot (GQD) edge-anchored Sn nanodots as the pillars into reduced graphene oxide blocks (NGQD/Sn-NG) for ultrafast and ultrastable sodium-ion storage is reported. Sn nanodots (2–5 nm) anchored at the edges of “octopus-like” GQDs via covalent Sn O C/Sn N C bonds function as the pillars that ensure fast Na-ion/electron transport across the graphene blocks. Moreover, the chemical and spatial (layered structure) confinements not only suppress Sn aggregation, but also function as physical barriers for buffering volume change upon sodiation/desodiation. Consequently, the NGQD/Sn-NG with high structural stability exhibits excellent rate performance (555 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 and 198 mAh g −1 at 10 A g −1 ) and ultra-long cycling stability (184 mAh g −1 remaining even after 2000 cycles at 5 A g −1 ). The confinement-induced synthesis together with remarkable electrochemical performances should shed light on the practical application of highly attractive tin-based anodes for next generation rechargeable sodium batteries.

In this work, hollow CoS nanobox (noted as HCSN) have been successfully synthesized via annealing and hydrothermal process from zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) template. When tested as positive electrode materials in alkaline aqueous electrolyte, it shows high specific capacitance of 720 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 , good rate capability (82.1%) and good cycling stability with 86.4% capacitance retention over 10,000 cycles at 10 A g −1 . To further demonstrate the advantages of our ZIF-67 derived materials, asymmetric energy storage device was assembled (HCSN//NC), where the as-prepared HCSN was employed as the anode and ZIF-67-derived nanoporous carbon (noted as NC) as the cathode. This device achieves high energy density (80 Wh kg −1 at a specific power density of 882 W kg −1 ), good rate capability (53.3 Wh kg −1 even at a specific power density of 7.9 kW kg −1 ) and long-term stability up to 10,000 cycles. More importantly, it could simultaneously light up 12 LEDs in parallel, demonstrating its potential in practical applications.

O3 phase layered oxides are highly attractive cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries because of their high capacity and decent initial Coulombic efficiency. However, their rate capability and long cycling life are unsatisfactory due to the narrow Na + transfer channel and irreversible phase transitions of O3 phase during sodiation/desodiation process. Constructing O3/P2 multiphase structures has been proven to be an effective strategy to overcome these challenges. In this study, we synthesized bi-phasic structured O3/P2 Na(Ni 2/9 Fe 1/3 Cu 1/9 Mn 1/3 ) 1- x Mn x O 2 ( x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05) materials through Mn doping during sodiation process. Benefiting from surface P2 phase layer with the enhanced Na + transfer dynamics and high structural stability , the Na(Ni 2/9 Fe 1/3 Cu 1/9 Mn 1/3 ) 0.98 Mn 0.02 O 2 (NFCM-M2) cathode delivers a reversible capacity of 139.1 mA h g −1 at 0.1 C, and retains 71.4 % of its original capacity after 300 cycles at 1 C. Our work provides useful guidance for designing multiphase cathodes and offers new insights into the structure-performance correlation for sodium-ion cathode materials.

A series of single crystalline spinel LiNi x Mn 2- x O 4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) cathode materials were synthesized in virtue of a facile solution-combustion approach. The morphology and the structure of all as-prepared samples were synthetically investigated with the X-ray diffraction (XRD), the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and the X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). According to these investigation results, Ni-doping content has a significant impact on the control of morphology and crystalline structure, hence the as-prepared LiNi x Mn 2- x O 4 samples exhibit polyhedral morphology with high crystallinity and average size of 100–200 nm. This unique polyhedral crystal structure has numerous surfaces fitting the (111) crystalline orientation which exhibit the smallest Mn dissolution in electrolytes, whilst stabilizing the spinel framework. Owing to the merits of both single crystalline polyhedral structure and appropriate Ni-doping, the as-obtained LiNi x Mn 2- x O 4 cathodes reveal enhanced rate capability coupled with long cycling performance. In especial, the LiNi 0.08 Mn 1.92 O 4 presents a initial discharge capacity of 101.3 mAh/g and ultralong cycle stability up to 2000 cycles at 1C, whilst showing enhanced cycle performance when temperature increases to 55 °C. Excellent capacity retention of 72% and 63% is also obtained after 1000 cycles even at high current rate of 5C and 10C. This study may contribute to an effective candidate approach for the obvious improvement on lithium ion batteries in term of electrochemical activity.

Poor conductivity and rate capability are the obstacles faced by nickel-cobalt composites as electrode materials for supercapacitor application. Herein, simple electrochemical treatment conducted by cyclic voltammetry is applied and the overall performance of the active material is considerably enhanced. We discover that this treatment triggers the formation of Ni-Co-Cu ternary composite and optimizes the crystal structure of the untreated counterpart. The areal capacitance of the treated sample rockets up to 6.13 F cm −2 at 2 mA cm −2 , almost 13 times higher than the untreated ones. Besides, the resistance is substantially reduced by cyclic voltammetry treatment. Moreover, the Coulombic efficiency and stability are concurrently elevated. The reasons behind this treatment are mulled over and reasonable hypothesis is suggested. This study provides a cheap and effortless way to reform the structures of as-obtained samples as well as vigorously raise the performance of current available materials.

The silicon material is the most promising candidate for developing new-generation lithium-ion batteries with high energy and power output. However, there remains a significant challenge due to poor electrical conductivity and pulverization of the silicon based anode during cycles. Aiming to solve these problems, in this work we fabricate a novel 3D composite architecture made of a Si@SiOx core–shell nanowire array grown on a 3D graphitic foam (Si CNW–3D GF) substrate by a well-designed multiple-step approach. The prepared Si CNW–3D GF composite shows the integrated advantages for high-performance lithium ion batteries, including its light weight, open macroporosity, high conductivity, high Si NW loading, excellent flexibility as well as SiOx buffer layers. As a result, the Si CNW–3D GF composite exhibits excellent performance such as high reversible lithium storage capacity (3603 mA h g−1 at a current density of 840 mA g−1), excellent cycling performance (up to 100 cycles) and superior rate capability (2299 mA h g−1 at 4200 mA g−1 and 1206 mA h g−1 at 8400 mA g−1), which is 2 times that of the Si CNW electrode where Si CNWs were grown directly on a stainless steel current collector without the presence of 3D GF.

Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + x LiAlH 4 ( x = 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, wt.%) composites were prepared by ball-milling, and the effects of LiAlH 4 content on structure and electrochemical properties of the composites were investigated systematically. The addition of LiAlH 4 to the Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni alloy significantly affected the morphology and size of the composite particles . The electrochemical cycling stability and rate dischargeability of the composite electrodes benefitted from adding some LiAlH 4 ( x = 1), which however deteriorated when the LiAlH 4 content increased further. The positive effect of LiAlH 4 on the electrochemical performance of the studied alloy was caused by suppression of the dissolution of active components of the Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni hydrogen storage alloy.

NaVPO 4 F has received a great deal of attention as cathode material for Na-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity (143 mA h g −1 ), high voltage platform, and structural stability. Novel NaVPO 4 F/C nanofibers are successfully prepared via a feasible electrospinning method and subsequent heat treatment as self-standing cathode for Na-ion batteries. Based on the morphological and microstructural characterization, it can be seen that the NaVPO 4 F/C nanofibers are smooth and continuous with NaVPO 4 F nanoparticles (≈6 nm) embedded in porous carbon matrix. For Na-storage, this electrode exhibits extraordinary electrochemical performance: a high capacity (126.3 mA h g −1 at 1 C), a superior rate capability (61.2 mA h g −1 at 50 C), and ultralong cyclability (96.5% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 2 C). 1D NaVPO 4 F/C nanofibers that interlink into 3D conductive network improve the conductivity of NaVPO 4 F, and effectively restrain the aggregation of NaVPO 4 F particles during charge/discharge process, leading to the high performance.

In this work, we report the first-principles investigation and synthesis method for a hollow-MoS2/C heterostructure applied to a hydrogen evolution catalytic material. First principles investigation was used to calculate the free energy of hydrogen ion adsorption at the heterostructure interface at different surface adsorption ratios. The change of the density of states before and after carbon coating proved that carbon coating improves the conductivity of the catalyst. Higher reactivity areas and higher conductivity can significantly improve hydrogen evolution catalytic performance, which is also demonstrated by electrochemical testing. Hollow-MoS2/C exhibits a low onset overpotential of 96 mV and a low Tafel slope of 67.4 mV dec−1, as well as good catalytic stability. The composite catalyst prepared by a two-step method has a larger specific surface area and a larger porosity, can significantly suppress the collapse and stacking effect caused by the electrode circulation process, and improve the cyclic reversibility and stability of the material. This work is expected to provide a meaningful reference for solving the problem of cycling performance degradation of non-precious metal-catalyzed hydrogen evolution materials.

LiNbO 3 is an intercalation material with high theoretical specific capacity, which is promising for lithium-ion capacitor (LIC) anode. However, the poor charge transfer dynamics makes LiNbO 3 unable to match the capacitive cathode in rate performance and cycle stability, resulting in poor electrochemical performance of the device. Herein, through the integrated process of in-situ nitrogen-doping with polypyrrole as the nitrogen source and hydrothermal deposition, the coaxial heterostructure of ultrafine LiNbO 3 nanoparticles and nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNT) was realized. The large lithium-ion accessible surface and the bonding with the conductive channel significantly enhance the pseudocapacitive behavior of LiNbO 3 (capacitance contribution of 78.5% at 1 mV s −1 ). After 1000 cycles at a current density of 2 A g −1 , NCNT@LiNbO 3 still has a specific capacity of 154.9 mAh g −1 (89.8%). Thus, the assembled NCNT@LiNbO 3 //AC devices can charge and discharge up to 10000 cycles at a current density of 2 A g −1 , and the capacity retention rate can still reach 90.3%, and can provide an energy density of 142 Wh kg −1 . This work provides ideas for the interface and structure design of nanocomposite electrode materials.
