Herein, the anion-site regulation is proposed to elevate the electrode kinetics and properties of polyanionic cathode. Multivalent anion P_(2)O_(7)^(4-) is selected to substitute the PO_(4)^(3-) in Na_(3)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(3) (NVP) lattice and regulate the ratio of polyanion groups to prepare Na_(3+x)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(3-x)(P_(2)O_(7))_(x)(NVPP_(x), 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) materials.The optimal Na_(3.1)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(2.9)(P_(2)O_(7))_(0.1) (NVPP_(0.1)) material can deliver remarkably elevated specific capacity(104 mAh g^(-1) at 0.1 C, 60 mAh g^(-1) at 20 C, respectively), which is higher than those of NVP. Moreover, NVPP_(0.1) exhibits outstanding cyclic stability(91% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 1 C). Experimental analyses reveal that the regulation of anions improves the structure stability, increases the active Na occupancy in the lattice and accelerates the Na+migration kinetics. The strategy of anion-site regulation provides the researchers a reference for the design of new high-performance polyanionic materials.展开更多

Herein, taking Na_(3.5)V_(1.5)Mn_(0.5)(PO_(4))_(3)(NVMP) as an example, a reinforced concrete-like hierarchical and porous hybrid(NVMP@C@3DPG) built from 3D graphene(“rebar”) frameworks and in situ generated carbon coated NVMP(“concrete”) has been developed by a facile polymer assisted self-assembly and subsequent solid-state method. Such hybrids deliver superior rate capability(73.9 m Ah/g up to 20 C) and excellent cycling stability in a wide temperature range with a high specific capacity of 88.4 m Ah/g after 5000 cycles at 15 C at room temperature, and a high capacity retention of 97.1% after 500 cycles at 1 C(-20 ℃), and maintaining a high reversible capacity of 110.3 m Ah/g in full cell. This work offers a facile and efficient strategy to develop advanced polyanionic cathodes with high-efficiency utilization and 3D electron/ion transport systems.展开更多

With the aids of Kevlar polyanionic chains, thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU) foams reinforced by aramid nanofibers(ANF) with adjustable pore-size distribution were successfully obtained via a nonsolvent-induced phase separation. In this regard, the most outstanding result is the in situ formation of ANF in TPU foams after protonation of Kevlar polyanion during the NIPS process. Furthermore, in situ growth of copper nanoparticles(Cu NPs) on TPU/ANF foams was performed according to the electroless deposition by using the tiny amount of pre-blended Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene as reducing agents. Particularly, the existence of Cu NPs layers significantly promoted the storage modulus in 2,932% increments, and the well-designed TPU/ANF/Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene(PAM-Cu) composite foams showed distinguished compressive cycle stability. Taking virtues of the highly ordered and elastic porous architectures, the PAM-Cu foams were utilized as piezoresistive sensor exhibiting board compressive interval of 0–344.5 kPa(50% strain) with good sensitivity at 0.46 kPa^(-1). Meanwhile,the PAM-Cu foams displayed remarkable EMI shielding effectiveness at 79.09 dB in X band. This work provides an ideal strategy to fabricate highly ordered TPU foams with outstanding elastic recovery and excellent EMI shielding performance, which can be used as a promising candidate in integration of satisfactory piezoresistive sensor and EMI shielding applications for human–machine interfaces.展开更多

Moreover, NVPP_(0.1) exhibits outstanding cyclic stability(91% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 1 C). Experimental analyses reveal that the regulation of anions improves the structure stability, increases the active Na occupancy in the lattice and accelerates the Na+migration kinetics. The strategy of anion-site regulation provides the researchers a reference for the design of new high-performance polyanionic materials.

文摘Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors(ZHSCs)have been widely considered as promising candidates for flexible electrochemical energy storage devices.The key challenge is to develop hydrogel electrolytes with high hydrophilicity,anti-freezing,bending resistance,and stable interface with electrodes.This study reported a hydrogel electrolyte system that can meet the above functions,in which the zincophilic and negatively charged SO_(3)^(−),migratable Na^(+),abundant hydrophilic functional groups,gum xanthan,and porous architecture could effectively promote the electrochemical performance of ZHSCs.ZHSCs with such hydrogel electrolytes not only exhibited good low-temperature performance but also showed excellent bending resistance ability.A high specific capacitance could be kept after a long air-working lifespan over 10,000 cycles under a wide operation voltage of 1.85 V at−10℃.Furthermore,flexible ZHSCs could maintain the capacitance retention of 93.18%even after continuous 500 bends at an angle of 180°.The designed hydrogel electrolytes could be also used for other electrochemical energy storage devices with anti-freezing and bending resistance by changing electrolyte salt.

文摘Soil-bentonite(SB)backfills in vertical cutoff walls are used extensively to contain contaminated groundwater.Previous studies show that the hydraulic conductivity of backfill can exceed the typically recommended maximum value(k=1×10^(−9) m/s)if exposed to groundwater impacted by organic acids commonly released from uncontrolled landfills and municipal solid waste dumps.Polymer amended backfills exhibit excellent chemical compatibility to metal-laden groundwater.However,few studies to date have explored the effect of organic acid contaminated groundwater on hydraulic performance of polymer amended backfills.This study presents an experimental investigation on the hydraulic performance and microstructural properties of a composite polymer amended backfill used to contain flow of acetic acid-laden groundwater.A series of laboratory experiments were performed to evaluate free-swell indices of the composite polymer amended bentonites,liquid limits of the composite polymer amended and unamended bentonites,and slump heights and hydraulic conductivity(k)values of the amended backfills to acetic acid solutions with varying concentrations.The results were compared with those of the unamended bentonites and unamended backfills reported in a previous study.The results showed that the free-swell index and liquid limit of the amended bentonites were higher than those of the unamended bentonites.Permeation with acetic acid solutions with concentrations ranging from 40 mmol/L to 320 mmol/L conducted on the amended backfill only resulted in an increase in k of less than a factor of about 10 related to that based on permeation with tap water(4.41×10^(−11)-1.68×10^(−10) m/s to acetic acid solution versus 1.65×10^(−11) m/s to tap water).Mechanisms contributing to enhanced chemical compatibility of amended backfill were ascertained based on scanning electron microscopy,mercury intrusion porosimetry,and zeta potential analyses.

文摘Mixed polyanion phosphate Na_(4)Fe_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)P_(2)O_(7)(NFPP)is regarded as the most promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs),due to its high structural stability and low-cost environmental friendliness.However,its intrinsic low conductivity and sluggish Na^(+)diffusion restricted the fast-charge and low-temperature sodium storage.Herein,an NFPP composite encapsulated by in-situ pyrolytic carbon and coupled with expanded graphite(NFPP@C/EG)was constructed via a sol-gel method followed by a ballmill procedure.Due to the dual-carbon modified strategy,this NFPP@C/EG only enhanced the electronic conductivity,but also endowed more channels for Na^(+)diffusion.As cathode for SIBs,the optimized NFPP(M-NFPP@C/EG)delivers excellent rate capability(capacity of~80.5 mAh/g at 50 C)and outstanding cycling stability(11000 cycles at 50 C with capacity retention of 89.85%).Additionally,cyclic voltammetry(CV)confirmed that its sodium storage behavior is pseudocapacitance-controlled,with in-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)further elucidating improvements in electrode reaction kinetics.At lower temperatures(0℃),M-NFPP@C/EG demonstrated exceptional cycling performance(8800 cycles at 10 C with capacity retention of 95.81%).Moreover,pouch cells also exhibited excellent stability.This research demonstrates the feasibility of a dual carbon modification strategy in enhancing NFPP and proposes a low-cost,high-rate,and ultra-stable cathode material for SIBs.

文摘In recent years,rechargeable lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)have become widely used in everyday applications such as portable electronic devices,electric vehicles and energy storage systems.Despite this,the electrochemical performance of LIBs cannot meet the energy demands of rapidly growing technological evolutions.And although significant progress has been made in the development of corresponding anodes based primarily on carbon,oxide and silicon materials,these materials still possess shortcomings in current LIB applications.For example,graphite exhibits safety concerns due to an operating potential close to that of lithium(Li)metal plating whereas Li4Ti5O12 possesses low energy density for high operation potential and silicon experiences limited cyclability for large volume expansion during charging/discharging.Alternatively,polyanionic compounds such as(PO_(4))^(3–),(SiO_(4))^(4–),(SO_(4))^(2–)and(BO_(3))^(3−)as electrode materials have gained increasing attention in recent years due to their ability to stabilize structures,adjust redox couples and provide migration channels for"vip"ions,resulting in corresponding electrode materials with long-term cycling,high energy density and outstanding rate capability.Based on these advantages and combined with recent findings in terms of silicate anodes,this review will summarize the recent progress in the development of polyanion-based anode materials for LIBs and sodium-ion batteries.Furthermore,this review will present our latest research based on polyanion groups such as(GeO_(4))^(4–)to compensate for the lack of available studies and to provide our perspective on these materials.

文摘A new organic cathode namely potassium 2,6-dihydroxyanthraquinone(AQ26OK,theoretical capacity(CT)=169 mA h g^(-1))is synthesized and fully characterized for Kion batteries.AQ26OK is called polyanionic organic cathode because it has a polyanionic organic skeleton(-2 valent)and two strong ionic K-O bonds.Consequently,the polyanionic AQ26OK is hardly soluble into most organic liquid electrolytes.In half cells(0.3-3.4 V vs.K^(+)/K)using 1 mol L^(-1) KPF6 in dimethoxyethane,AQ26OK delivers a highly stable specific capacity of 201 mA h g^(-1)@50 mA g^(-1) over 450 cycles(4-month test)and realizes~106 mA h g^(-1) for 3200 cycles at 500 mA g^(-1).Using the reduced state(K4TP)of potassium terephthalate(K2TP)as the organic anode,the resulting K4TP Ⅱ AQ26OK organic potassium-ion batteries can display a highly stable average discharge capacity of 135 mA h g^(-1) cathodeover 250 cycles at 100 mA g^(-1) and~47 mA h g^(-1) for 1000 cycles at 500 mA g^(-1) during the working voltage of 0.01-3.1 V.To the best of our knowledge,AQ26OK is among the best stable cathodes reported for K-ion batteries.

文摘Realizing high-rate capability and high-efficiency utilization of polyanionic cathode materials is of great importance for practical sodium-ion batteries(SIBs) since they usually suffer from extremely low electronic conductivity and limited ionic diffusion kinetics. Herein, taking Na_(3.5)V_(1.5)Mn_(0.5)(PO_(4))_(3)(NVMP) as an example, a reinforced concrete-like hierarchical and porous hybrid(NVMP@C@3DPG) built from 3D graphene(“rebar”) frameworks and in situ generated carbon coated NVMP(“concrete”) has been developed by a facile polymer assisted self-assembly and subsequent solid-state method. Such hybrids deliver superior rate capability(73.9 m Ah/g up to 20 C) and excellent cycling stability in a wide temperature range with a high specific capacity of 88.4 m Ah/g after 5000 cycles at 15 C at room temperature, and a high capacity retention of 97.1% after 500 cycles at 1 C(-20 ℃), and maintaining a high reversible capacity of 110.3 m Ah/g in full cell. This work offers a facile and efficient strategy to develop advanced polyanionic cathodes with high-efficiency utilization and 3D electron/ion transport systems.

文摘Na_(3)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(2)F_(3)(NVPF) is shown to be an attractive cathode material for sodium storage due to its high theoretical capacity and suitable working voltage.However,its low electronic conductivity and poor cycling stability have to be addressed in order for enhanced high-rate performance and cycle life.Herein,we have prepared a 3D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) host-supported NVPF nanocuboids.We discover that polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) serves as an important structural directing agent that bridges between NVPF and rGO through the hydrogen bonding,and thus regulates the formation of the 3D r GO framework with NVPF nanocuboids embedded inside (NVPF@C@rGO).With such a unique construction,NVPF@C@rGO exhibits excellent cycling stability and rate performance for sodium storage,showing high reversible capacities of 121 m Ah/g and 113 mAh/g at 1C and 10C,respectively,and 103 mAh/g after 700cycles at 50C with 98.3%retention.Even at an extremely high current of 100C,it also delivers a reversible capacity of 64 mAh/g,surpassing the performance of many recently reported NVPF-based electrodes.Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) data confirm the much better kinetic properties of NVPF@C@rGO electrode than the control samples of NVPF@rGO and pure NVPF.In-situ XRD results reveal that the 3D rGO housing can effectively suppress the lattice variation of NVPF,with a maximum volume change of only 1.84%during cycling.Moreover,the in-situ temperature sensing reveals the more stable working temperature of NVPF@C@rGO compared to phase-pure NVPF,suggesting a higher temperature safety of the electrode.Using NVPF@C@rGO as the positive electrode and commercial hard carbon as the negative electrode,a sodium-ion full battery has been assembled with about 110 m Ah/g at 1C for 300 cycles,corresponding to an energy density of 291 Wh kg^(-1).The construction of 3D r GO housing as a conductive support offers an effective strategy for high-rate,long cycle life and high safety sodium-ion battery cathodes.

文摘Rechargeable magnesium ion batteries(RMBs)are investigated as lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)alternative owing to their favorable merits of high energy density,abundance and low expenditure of Mg,as well a especially non-toxic safety and low risk of dendrite formation in anodes,which endows them to be more easily assembled in electric-power vehicles for the extended application of civilian-military fields.Never theless,the high charge density,strong polarization effect,and slow diffusion kinetics of Mg^(2+)remain a large obstacle and thus enormous efforts have to be paid to mend the gap with commercial demand fo cathode materials.At present,RMBs cathode materials mainly contain transition metal sulfides/oxides polyanionic compounds and Prussian blue analogs,and several methods such as nano structuring,dop ing regulation and coating modification have been applied to materials design for better performance In this paper,the current research status of RMBs cathode materials at home&abroad is arranged and summarized along with challenges of development in the future focusing on synthesis of RMBs cathode materials with high energy density as well as satisfactory cycling performance.And this analysis aims to provide reference and basis for researchers working on RMBs technology advancement.
文摘Polyanion-based materials are considered one of the most attractive and promising cathode materials for lithiumion batteries(LIBs)due to their good stability,safety,cost-effectiveness,suitable voltages,and minimal environmental impact.However,these materials suffer from poor rate capability and low-temperature performance owing to limited electronic and ionic conductivity,which restricts their practical applicability.Recent developments,such as coating material particles with carbon or a conductive polymer,crystal deformation through the doping of foreign metal ions,and the production of nanostructured materials,have significantly enhanced the electrochemical performances of these materials.The successful applications of polyanion-based materials,especially in lithium-ion batteries,have been extensively reported.This comprehensive review discusses the current progress in crystal deformation in polyanion-based cathode materials,including phosphates,fluorophosphates,pyrophosphates,borates,silicates,sulfates,fluorosilicates,and oxalates.Therefore,this review provides detailed discussions on their synthesis strategies,electrochemical performance,and the doping of various ions.

文摘Highly ordered and uniformly porous structure of conductive foams is a vital issue for various functional purposes such as piezoresistive sensing and electromagnetic interference(EMI) shielding. With the aids of Kevlar polyanionic chains, thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU) foams reinforced by aramid nanofibers(ANF) with adjustable pore-size distribution were successfully obtained via a nonsolvent-induced phase separation. In this regard, the most outstanding result is the in situ formation of ANF in TPU foams after protonation of Kevlar polyanion during the NIPS process. Furthermore, in situ growth of copper nanoparticles(Cu NPs) on TPU/ANF foams was performed according to the electroless deposition by using the tiny amount of pre-blended Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene as reducing agents. Particularly, the existence of Cu NPs layers significantly promoted the storage modulus in 2,932% increments, and the well-designed TPU/ANF/Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene(PAM-Cu) composite foams showed distinguished compressive cycle stability. Taking virtues of the highly ordered and elastic porous architectures, the PAM-Cu foams were utilized as piezoresistive sensor exhibiting board compressive interval of 0–344.5 kPa(50% strain) with good sensitivity at 0.46 kPa^(-1). Meanwhile,the PAM-Cu foams displayed remarkable EMI shielding effectiveness at 79.09 dB in X band. This work provides an ideal strategy to fabricate highly ordered TPU foams with outstanding elastic recovery and excellent EMI shielding performance, which can be used as a promising candidate in integration of satisfactory piezoresistive sensor and EMI shielding applications for human–machine interfaces.

文摘There are plenty of issues need to be solved before the practi-cal application of Li-and Mn-rich cathodes,including the detrimental voltage decay and mediocre rate capability,etc.Element doping can e ectively solve the above problems,but cause the loss of capacity.The introduction of appropriate defects can compensate the capacity loss;however,it will lead to structural mismatch and stress accumulation.Herein,a three-in-one method that combines cation–polyanion co-doping,defect construction,and stress engineering is pro-posed.The co-doped Na^(+)/SO_(4)^(2-)can stabilize the layer framework and enhance the capacity and voltage stability.The induced defects would activate more reac-tion sites and promote the electrochemical performance.Meanwhile,the unique alternately distributed defect bands and crystal bands structure can alleviate the stress accumulation caused by changes of cell parameters upon cycling.Consequently,the modified sample retains a capacity of 273 mAh g^(-1)with a high-capacity retention of 94.1%after 100 cycles at 0.2 C,and 152 mAh g^(-1)after 1000 cycles at 2 C,the corresponding voltage attenuation is less than 0.907 mV per cycle.

文摘Doping modification of electrode materials is a sought-after strategy to improve their electrochemical performance in the secondary batteries field. Herein,polyanion（BO3）^3-doped Li3V2（PO4）3 cathode materials were successfully synthesized via a wet coordination method. The effects of（BO3）^3- doping content on crystal structure, morphology and electrochemical performance were explored by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, cyclic voltammetry（CV） and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）. All the asprepared samples have the same monoclinic structure;among them, Li3V2（PO4）（2.75）（BO3）（0.15） sample has relatively uniform and optimized particle size. In addition, this sample has the highest discharge capacity and the best cycling stability, with an initial discharge capacity of 120.4mAh·g^-1, and after 30 cycles at a rate of 0.1C, the discharge capacity still remains 119.3 mAh·g^-1. It is confirmed that moderate polyanion（BO3）^3- doping can rearrange the electronic structure of the bulk Li3V2（PO4）3,lower the charge transfer resistance and further improve the electrochemical behaviors.

The compound contains V-centered bi-capped a-Keggin fragments {Mo8V7O42} that are linked together by edge-shared units V O5 via V桹梀 bonds, forming a chain.
文摘The optimized geometries at the RHF/6-311++G** level, the relatively stable energy at the MPW1PW91/6-311++G** level and the structural characters of anions have been acquired, indicating the stability is related to the chemical bonding of μ2?P atoms and the distri- bution of negative charges. The configurations of cage units P8 4- and P9 5- are stable due to the less torsion, but their ES values are relatively higher than that of P7 3- with more μ2?P atoms and the isolated stability is lower than that of P7 . They potentially play an important role as intermediate 3- in chemical reaction of producing complicated polyphosphides. Based on the related electronic properties, a stable polyanion must have low valence electron concentration, no (μ2?P)?(μ2?P) bond and a little dispersive charge. The earmark IR frequencies of cage units have been assigned to the vibration models in the end.
