However,DIB operated at high potential(usually ≥ 4.5 V versus Li+/Li) is confronted with severe challenges including electrolyte decomposition on cathode interface, and structural deterioration of graphite accompanying with anions de-/intercalation, hinder its cyclic life. To address those drawbacks and preserve the DIB virtues, a feasible and scalable surface modification is achieved for the commercial graphite cathode of mesocarbon microbead. In/ex-situ studies reveal that, such an interfacial engineering facilitates and reconstructs the formation of chemically stable cathode electrolyte interphase with better flexibility alleviating the decomposition of electrolyte, regulating the anions de-/intercalation behavior in graphite with the retainment of structural integrity and without exerting considerable influence on kinetics of anions diffusion. As a result, the modified mesocarbon microbead exhibits a much-extended cycle life with high capacity retention of 82.3% even after 1000 cycles. This study demonstrates that the interface modification of electrode and coating skeleton play important roles on DIB performance improvement, providing the feasible basis for practical application of DIB owing to the green and scalable coating procedures.展开更多

Herein, we report the design and fabrication of N-doped carbon film-modified niobium sulfur–selenium(NbSSe/NC) nanosheets architecture, which holds favorable merits for Na^(+) storage of enlarged interlayer space, improved electrical conductivity, as well as enhanced reaction reversibility, endowing it with high capacity, high-rate capability and high cycling stability. The combined electrochemical studies with density functional theory calculation reveal that the enriched defects in such nanosheets architecture can benefit for facilitating charge transfer and Na+ adsorption to speed the electrochemical kinetics. The NbSSe/NC composites are studied as the anode of a full SDIBs by pairing the expanded graphite as cathode, which shows an impressively cyclic durability with negligible capacity attenuation over 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g^(-1), as well as an outstanding energy density of 230.6 Wh kg^(-1) based on the total mass of anode and cathode.展开更多

Due to the mismatch between ion diameter and layer space of active materials, however, volume expansion and exfoliation always occur for electrode materials. Herein, an integrated electrode Co3O4/carbon fiber paper (CFP) is prepared as the anode of DIB. As the Co3O4 nanosheets grow on CFP substrate vertically, it promotes the immersion of electrolyte and shortens the pathway for ionic transport. Besides, the strong interaction between Co3O4 and CFP substrate reduces the possibility of sheet exfoliation. An integrated-electrode-based DIB is therefore packaged using Co3O4/CFP as anode and graphite as cathode. As a result, a high energy density of 72 Wh/kg is achieved at a power density of 150 W/kg. The design of integrated electrode provides a new route for the development of high-performance DIBs.展开更多

Moreover, the composite simultaneously acts as the anode material and the current collector, and the corrosion phenomenon can be greatly reduced compared to metallic Al anode. Thus, this work represents a significant step forward for practical safe, low-cost and high working voltage dual-ion batteries,showing attractive potential for future energy storage application.展开更多

文摘High-voltage dual-ion batteries(DIBs)face significant challenges,including graphite cathode degradation,cathode-electrolyte interphase(CEI)instability,and the thermodynamic instability of conventional carbonate-based electrolytes,particularly at extreme temperatures.In this study,we develop a stable electrolyte incorporating lithium difluorophosphate(LiDFP)as an additive to enhance the electrochemical performance of DIBs over a wide temperature range.LiDFP preferentially decomposes to form a rapid anion-transporting,mechanically robust CEI layer on graphite,which provides better protection by suppressing graphite's volume expansion,preventing electrolyte oxidative decomposition,and enhancing reaction kinetics.As a result,Li||graphite half cells using LiDFP electrolyte exhibit outstanding rate performance(90.8% capacity retention at 30 C)and excellent cycle stability(82.2% capacity retention after 5000 cycles)at room temperature.Moreover,graphite||graphite full cells with LiDFP electrolyte demonstrate stable discharge capacity across a temperature range of-20 to 40℃,expanding the potential applications of LiDFP.This work establishes a novel strategy for optimizing the interphase through electrolyte design,paving the way for all-climate DIBs with improved performance and stability.

文摘Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs)have hugely latent advantages in large-scale energy storage due to its innate safety,reasonable price,and sustainability.However,most AZIB cathode materials suffer from short cycling life and poor rate performance.Herein,a bipolar donor-acceptor(D-A)conjugated microporous polymer(PTZ-BDTB),consisting of electron-withdrawing benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-4,8-dio ne(BDTB)units and electron-donating phenothiazine(PTZ)units,is developed as the cathode material of aqueous zinc dual-ion batteries(AZDIBs).The D-A type structure design could reduce the band gap,thus promoting electron transfer in the polymer framework.Therefore,the PTZ-BDTB cathode in a30 mol/kg(m)ZnCl_(2)water-in-salt electrolyte exhibits a high reversible capacity of 202 mA h g^(-1)at0.05 A g^(-1)with excellent rate performance(109 mA h g^(-1)at 15 A g^(-1)),which is far superior to its counterpart polymers PPTZ and PB-BDTB.Impressively,PTZ-BDTB shows ultra-stable cycle performance with capacity retention ratios of 76.2%after 460 cycles at 0.05 A g^(-1)and 96%after 27000 cycles at 5 A g^(-1).PTZBDTB also exhibits a low self-discharge ability with capacity retention about 76.4%after resting the battery for 28 days.These results demonstrate that D-A type structural design is a promising strategy for constructing high performance cathode materials for AZDIBs.

文摘Compared with Zn^(2+),the current mainly reported charge carrier for zinc hybrid capacitors,small-hydrated-sized and light-weight NH_(4)^(+)is expected as a better one to mediate cathodic interfacial electrochemical behaviors,yet has not been unraveled.Here we propose an NH_(4)^(+)-modulated cationic solvation strategy to optimize cathodic spatial charge distribution and achieve dynamic Zn^(2+)/NH_(4)^(+)co-storage for boosting Zinc hybrid capacitors.Owing to the hierarchical cationic solvated structure in hybrid Zn(CF_(3)SO_(3))_(2)–NH_4CF_(3)SO_(3)electrolyte,high-reactive Zn^(2+)and small-hydrate-sized NH_4(H_(2)O))(4)^(+)induce cathodic interfacial Helmholtz plane reconfiguration,thus effectively enhancing the spatial charge density to activate 20%capacity enhancement.Furthermore,cathodic interfacial adsorbed hydrated NH_(4)^(+)ions afford high-kinetics and ultrastable C···H(NH_(4)^(+))charge storage process due to a much lower desolvation energy barrier compared with heavy and rigid Zn(H_(2)O)_6^(2+)(5.81 vs.14.90 eV).Consequently,physical uptake and multielectron redox of Zn^(2+)/NH_(4)^(+)in carbon cathode enable the zinc capacitor to deliver high capacity(240 mAh g^(-1)at 0.5 A g^(-1)),large-current tolerance(130 mAh g^(-1)at 50 A g^(-1))and ultralong lifespan(400,000cycles).This study gives new insights into the design of cathode–electrolyte interfaces toward advanced zinc-based energy storage.

文摘A novel carbon foam with microporous structure(CFMS),with the advantages of a simple fabrication process,low energy consumption,large specific surface area and high conductivity,has been prepared by a facile one-step carbonization.In addition,the carbon foam possesses suitable interlayer spacing in short range which is flexible to accommodate the deformation of carbon layer caused by the ion insertion and deinsertion at the charge and discharge state.Furthermore,a low cost carbon-based symmetric potassium dual-ion capacitor(PDIC),which integrates the virtues of potassium ion capacitors and dual-ion batteries,is successfully established with CFMS as both the battery-type cathode and the capacitor-type anode.PDIC displays a superior rate performance,an ultra-long cycle life(90%retention after 10000 cycles),and a high power density of 7800 W kg^-1 at an energy density of 39Whkg^-1.The PDIC also exhibits excellent ultrafast charge and slow discharge properties,with a full charge in just 60 s and a discharge time of more than 3000 s.

文摘With the increasing popularity of new en ergy electric vehicles,the dema nd for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)has been growing rapidly,which will produce a large number of spent LIBs.Therefore,recycling of spe nt LIBs has become an urge nt task to be solved,otherwise it will inevitably lead to serious environmental pollution.Herein,a unique recycling strategy is proposed to achieve the concurrent reuse of cathode and anode in the spent graphite/LiFePO_(4) batteries.Along with such recycling process,a unique cathode composed of recycled LFP/graphite(RLFPG)with cation/anion-co-storage ability is designed for new-type dual-ion battery(DIB).As a result,the recycle-derived DIB of Li/RLFPG is established with good electrochemical performance,such as an initial discharge capacity of 117.4 mA h g^(-1) at 25 mA g^(-1) and 78% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 100 mA g^(-1).The working mechanism of Li/RLFPG DIB is also revealed via in situ X-ray diffraction and electrode kinetics studies.This work not only presents a farreaching significance for large-scale recycling of spent LIBs in the future,but also proposed a sustainable and econo mical method to design n ew-type sec on dary batteries as recycling of spe nt LIBs.

文摘Dual-ion battery(DIB) composed of graphite cathode and lithium anode is regarded as an advanced secondary battery because of the low cost, high working voltage and environmental friendliness. However,DIB operated at high potential(usually ≥ 4.5 V versus Li+/Li) is confronted with severe challenges including electrolyte decomposition on cathode interface, and structural deterioration of graphite accompanying with anions de-/intercalation, hinder its cyclic life. To address those drawbacks and preserve the DIB virtues, a feasible and scalable surface modification is achieved for the commercial graphite cathode of mesocarbon microbead. In/ex-situ studies reveal that, such an interfacial engineering facilitates and reconstructs the formation of chemically stable cathode electrolyte interphase with better flexibility alleviating the decomposition of electrolyte, regulating the anions de-/intercalation behavior in graphite with the retainment of structural integrity and without exerting considerable influence on kinetics of anions diffusion. As a result, the modified mesocarbon microbead exhibits a much-extended cycle life with high capacity retention of 82.3% even after 1000 cycles. This study demonstrates that the interface modification of electrode and coating skeleton play important roles on DIB performance improvement, providing the feasible basis for practical application of DIB owing to the green and scalable coating procedures.

文摘High-temperature solid-state electrolyte is a key component of several important electrochemical devices,such as oxygen sensors for automobile exhaust control,solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs) for power generation,and solid oxide electrolysis cells for H_(2) production from water electrolysis or CO_(2) electrochemical reduction to value-added chemicals.In particular,internal diffusion of protons or oxygen ions is a fundamental and crucial issue in the research of SOFCs,hypothetically based on either oxygen-ionconducting electrolytes or proton-conducting electrolytes.Up to now,some electrolyte materials based on fluorite or perovskite structure were found to show certain degree of dual-ion transportation capability,while in available electrolyte database,particularly in the field of SOFCs,such dual-ion conductivity was seriously overlooked.Actually,few concerns arising to the simultaneous proton and oxygen-ion conductivities in electrolyte of SOFCs inevitably induce various inadequate and confusing results in literature.Understanding dual-ion transportation behavior in electrolyte is indisputably of great importance to explain some unusual fuel cell performance as reported in literature and enrich the knowledge of solid state ionics.On the other hand,exploration of novel dual-ion conducting electrolytes will benefit the development of SOFCs.In this review,we provide a comprehensive summary of the understanding of dual-ion transportation in solid electrolyte and recent advances of dual-ion conducting SOFCs.The oxygen ion and proton conduction mechanisms at elevated temperature inside oxide-based electrolyte materials are first introduced,and then(mixed) oxygen ion and proton conduction behaviors of fluorite and perovskite-type oxides are discussed.Following on,recent advances in the development of dual-ion conducting SOFCs based on fluorite and perovskite-type single-phase or composite electrolytes,are reviewed.Finally,the challenges in the development of dual-ion conducting SOFCs are discussed and future prospects are proposed.

文摘Li4Ti5O(12)(LTO)has drawn great attention due to its safety and stability in lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).However,high potential plateau at 1.5 V vs.Li reduces the cell voltage,leading to a limited use of LTO.Dual-ion batteries(DIBs)can achieve high working voltage due to high intercalation potential of cathode.Herein,we propose a DIB configuration in which LTO is used as anode and the working voltage was 3.5 V.This DIB achieves a maximum specific energy of 140 Wh/kg at a specific power of 35 W/kg,and the specific power of 2933 W/kg can be obtained with a remaining specific energy of 11 Wh/kg.Traditional LIB material shows greatly improved properties in the DIB configuration.Thus,reversing its disadvantage leads to upgraded performance of batteries.Our configuration has also widened the horizon of materials for DIBs.

文摘Sodium-based dual-ion batteries(SDIBs) have gained tremendous attention due to their virtues of high operating voltage and low cost, yet it remains a tough challenge for the development of ideal anode material of SDIBs featuring with high kinetics and long durability. Herein, we report the design and fabrication of N-doped carbon film-modified niobium sulfur–selenium(NbSSe/NC) nanosheets architecture, which holds favorable merits for Na^(+) storage of enlarged interlayer space, improved electrical conductivity, as well as enhanced reaction reversibility, endowing it with high capacity, high-rate capability and high cycling stability. The combined electrochemical studies with density functional theory calculation reveal that the enriched defects in such nanosheets architecture can benefit for facilitating charge transfer and Na+ adsorption to speed the electrochemical kinetics. The NbSSe/NC composites are studied as the anode of a full SDIBs by pairing the expanded graphite as cathode, which shows an impressively cyclic durability with negligible capacity attenuation over 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g^(-1), as well as an outstanding energy density of 230.6 Wh kg^(-1) based on the total mass of anode and cathode.

文摘In dual-ion batteries (DIBs), energy storage is achieved by intercalation/de-intercalation of both cations and anions. Due to the mismatch between ion diameter and layer space of active materials, however, volume expansion and exfoliation always occur for electrode materials. Herein, an integrated electrode Co3O4/carbon fiber paper (CFP) is prepared as the anode of DIB. As the Co3O4 nanosheets grow on CFP substrate vertically, it promotes the immersion of electrolyte and shortens the pathway for ionic transport. Besides, the strong interaction between Co3O4 and CFP substrate reduces the possibility of sheet exfoliation. An integrated-electrode-based DIB is therefore packaged using Co3O4/CFP as anode and graphite as cathode. As a result, a high energy density of 72 Wh/kg is achieved at a power density of 150 W/kg. The design of integrated electrode provides a new route for the development of high-performance DIBs.

文摘Aqueous zinc-based batteries(AZB s)attract tremendous attention due to the abundant and rechargeable zinc anode.Nonetheless,the requirement of high energy and power densities raises great challenge for the cathode development.Herein we construct an aqueous zinc ion capacitor possessing an unrivaled combination of high energy and power characteristics by employing a unique dual-ion adsorption mechanism in the cathode side.Through a templating/activating co-assisted carbonization procedure,a routine protein-rich biomass transforms into defect-rich carbon with immense surface area of 3657.5 m^(2) g^(-1) and electrochemically active heteroatom content of 8.0 at%.Comprehensive characterization and DFT calculations reveal that the obtained carbon cathode exhibits capacitive charge adsorptions toward both the cations and anions,which regularly occur at the specific sites of heteroatom moieties and lattice defects upon different depths of discharge/charge.The dual-ion adsorption mechanism endows the assembled cells with maximum capacity of 257 mAh g^(-1) and retention of72 mAh g^(-1) at ultrahigh current density of 100 A g^(-1)(400 C),corresponding to the outstanding energy and power of 168 Wh kg^(-1)and 61,700 W kg^(-1).Furthermore,practical battery configurations of solid-state pouch and cable-type cells display excellent reliability in electrochemistry as flexible and knittable power sources.

文摘Dual-ion batteries(DIBs) have attracted immense interest as a new generation of energy storage device due to their low cost,environmental friendliness and high working voltage.However,developing DIBs using organic compounds as active electrode materials is in its infancy.Herein,we first report a bipolar and self-polymerized Cu phthalocyanine(CuTAPc) as an electrode material for sodium-based DIBs(SDIBs).Benefitting from the bipolar property,CuTAPc could serve as the cathode or anode material to construct metal sodium-based or metal sodium-free SDIB(cell 1 or 2) by coupling with sodium anode or graphite cathode,respectively.As a result,cell 1 displays a high discharge capacity of 195.7 mAh g^(-1) at 50 mA g^(-1) and a high reversible capacity of 57 mAh g^(-1) over 2500 cycles at 1 A g^(-1),and cell 2 shows a high energy density of 324 Wh kg^(-1) and a high power density of 7481 W kg^(-1).Subsequently,the proposed binding mechanism and the bipolar reactivity of CuTAPc have been revealed by the detailed reaction kinetic analysis and ex-situ techniques as well as the density functional theory(DFT) calculations.This work could open a pathway to develop the advanced SDIBs constructed by elemental abundant and environmentally friendly organic materials.

文摘Large anions exhibit slow diffusion kinetics in graphite cathode of dual-ion batteries(DIBs);particularly at high current density,it suffers severely from the largely-reduced interlayer utilization of graphite cathode,which as a bottleneck limits the fast charge application of DIBs.To maximize interlayer utilization and achieve faster anion diffusion kinetics,a fast and uncrowded anion transport channel must be established.Herein,Li^(+)was pre-intercalated into the graphite paper(GP)cathode to increase the interlayer spacing,and then hosted for the PF_(6)^(-)anion storage.Combined with theoretical calculation,it shows that the local interlayer spacing enlargement and the residual Li^(+)reduce the anion intercalation energy and diffusion barrier,leading to better rate stability.The obtained GP with Li^(+)pre-intercalation(GP-Li)electrode exhibits a discharge capacity of 23.1 m Ah g^(-1) at a high current of 1300 m A g^(-1).This work provides a facile method to efficiently improve the interlayer utilization of graphite cathode at large currents.
