However, their limitations in terms of cycling stability and rate capability remain major impediments to their wider application. In this study, an innovative approach was employed by simultaneously utilizing the acidic and oxidative properties of phosphomolybdic acid to generate a spinel structure and in-situ coating of a conductive polymer(polypyrrole) on the surface of lithium-rich layered oxide materials. This strategy aimed to mitigate structural degradation during charge-discharge cycles, enhance the ionic/electronic conductivity, and suppress side reactions. Experimental results demonstrated that after 200 cycles at a current density of 1 C, the modified sample exhibited a discharge specific capacity of 193.4 m Ah/g, with an improved capacity retention rate of 83.3% and a minimal voltage decay of only 0.27 V. These findings provide compelling support for the development and application of next-generation high-performance lithium-ion batteries.展开更多

文摘In the field of lithium-ion battery cathode materials, lithium-rich layered oxide materials have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional discharge specific capacity and high operating voltage. However, their limitations in terms of cycling stability and rate capability remain major impediments to their wider application. In this study, an innovative approach was employed by simultaneously utilizing the acidic and oxidative properties of phosphomolybdic acid to generate a spinel structure and in-situ coating of a conductive polymer(polypyrrole) on the surface of lithium-rich layered oxide materials. This strategy aimed to mitigate structural degradation during charge-discharge cycles, enhance the ionic/electronic conductivity, and suppress side reactions. Experimental results demonstrated that after 200 cycles at a current density of 1 C, the modified sample exhibited a discharge specific capacity of 193.4 m Ah/g, with an improved capacity retention rate of 83.3% and a minimal voltage decay of only 0.27 V. These findings provide compelling support for the development and application of next-generation high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

文摘Selective oxidation of amines to imines through electrocatalysis is an attractive and efficient way for the chemical industry to produce nitrile compounds,but it is limited by the difficulty of designing efficient catalysts and lack of understanding the mechanism of catalysis.Herein,we demonstrate a novel strategy by generation of oxyhydroxide layers on two-dimensional iron-doped layered nickel phosphorus trisulfides(Ni1-xFexPS_(3))during the oxidation of benzylamine(BA).In-depth structural and surface chemical characterizations during the electrocatalytic process combined with theoretical calculations reveal that Ni(1-x)FexPS_(3) undergoes surface reconstruction under alkaline conditions to form the metal oxyhydroxide/phosphorus trichalcogenide(NiFeOOH/Ni1-xFexPS_(3))heterostructure.Interestingly,the generated heterointerface facilitates BA oxidation with a low onset potential of 1.39 V and Faradaic efficiency of 53%for benzonitrile(BN)synthesis.Theoretical calculations further indicate that the as-formed NiFeOOH/Ni1-xFexPS_(3) heterostructure could offer optimum free energy for BA adsorption and BN desorption,resulting in promising BN synthesis.

文摘Sodium-ion batteries have emerged as promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries due to their abundant raw material reserves,low cost,enhanced safety,and environmental sustainability.Na_(2)Fe_(2)OS_(2),featuring a layered anti-perovskite structure,has attracted significant interest for its high capacity and facile synthesis.In this study,density functional theory calculations were performed to systematically investigate the phase stability,ionic conductivity,and voltage characteristics of Na_(2)Fe_(2)OS_(2)as a model system for anti-perovskite layered cathode materials.The compound exhibits excellent phase stability,and its equilibrium potential was calculated for the series Na_(x)Fe_(2)OCh_(2)(0<±<2)(where Ch represents chalcogenides).Naion transport analysis using the climbing image nudged elastic band method reveals a relatively low migration barrier(~0.47eV)along a dingonal pathway,indicating efficient Na^(+)mobility.To expand the materials design space,we systematically explored the effects of substituting Fe with various transition metals and replacing S with Se in NaaTM_(2)OCh_(2)structures.Among the variants studied,Na_(2)Mn_(2)OS_(2) demonstrates the most favorable combination of high voltage(~2.51V),robust phase stability,and superior energy density(~427 W-h/kg).This comprehensive comparison of transition metal substitutions provides vnluable insights for the rational design and experimental development of next-generation anti-perovskite layered cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

文摘Recent studies in van der Waals coupled two-dimensional(2D) bilayer materials have demonstrated a new freedom for material engineering by the formation of moiré pattern. By tuning the twist angle between two layers, one can modulate their electronic band structures and therefore the associated electrical transport and optical properties, which are distinct from the original ones of each individual layer. These new properties excite great passion in the exploration of new quantum states and possible applications of 2D bilayers. In this article, we will mainly review the prevailing fabrication methods and emerging physical properties of twisted bilayer materials and lastly give out a perspective of this topic.

文摘The outstanding performance of O3-type NaNi_(1/3)Fe_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_(2)(NFM111)at both high and low temperatures coupled with its impressive specific capacity makes it an excellent cathode material for sodium-ion batteries.However,its poor cycling,owing to highpressure phase transitions,is one of its disadvantages.In this study,Cu/Ti was introduced into NFM111 cathode material using a solidphase method.Through both theoretically and experimentally,this study found that Cu doping provides a higher redox potential in NFM111,improving its reversible capacity and charge compensation process.The introduction of Ti would enhance the cycling stability of the material,smooth its charge and discharge curves,and suppress its high-voltage phase transitions.Accordingly,the NaNi_(0.27)Fe_(0.28)Mn_(0.33)Cu_(0.05)Ti_(0.06)O_(2)sample used in the study exhibited a remarkable rate performance of 142.97 mAh·g^(-1)at 0.1 C(2.0-4.2 V)and an excellent capacity retention of 72.81%after 300 cycles at 1C(1C=150 mA·g^(-1)).

文摘Facilitating anion redox chemistry is an effective strategy to increase the capacity of layered oxides for sodium-ion batteries.Nevertheless,there remains a paucity of literature pertaining to the oxygen redox chemistry of O3-type layered oxide cathode materials.This work systematically investigates the effect of Fe doping on the anionic oxygen redox chemistry and electrochemical reactions in O3-NaNi_(0.4)Cu_(0.1)Mn_(0.4)Ti_(0.1)O_(2).The results of the density functional theory(DFT)calculations indicate that the electrons of the O 2p occupy a higher energy level.In the ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectrometer(XPS)of O 1s,the addition of Fe facilitates the lattice oxygen(O^(n-))to exhibit enhanced activity at 4.45 V.The in-situ X-ray diffraction(XRD)demonstrates that the doping of Fe effectively suppresses the Y phase transition at high voltages.Furthermore,the Galvanostatic Intermittent Titration Technique(GITT)data indicate that Fe doping significantly increases the Na~+migration rate at high voltages.Consequently,the substitution of Fe can elevate the cut-off voltage to 4.45 V,thereby facilitating electron migration from O^(2-).The redox of O^(2-)/O^(n-)(n<2)contributes to the overall capacity.O3-Na(Ni_(0.4)Cu_(0.1)Mn_(0.4)Ti_(0.1))_(0.92)Fe_(0.08)O_(2)provides an initial discharge specific capacity of 180.55 mA h g^(-1)and71.6%capacity retention at 0.5 C(1 C=240 mA g^(-1)).This work not only demonstrates the beneficial impact of Fe substitution for promoting the redox activity and reversibility of O^(2-)in 03-type layered oxides,but also guarantees the structural integrity of the cathode materials at high voltages(>4.2 V).It offers a novel avenue for investigating the anionic redox reaction in O3-type layered oxides to design advanced cathode materials.
文摘A functional interlayer based on two-dimensional(2D)porous modified vermiculite nanosheets(PVS)was obtained by acid-etching vermiculite nanosheets.The as-obtained 2D porous nanosheets exhibited a high specific surface area of 427 m^(2)·g^(-1)and rich surface active sites,which help restrain polysulfides(LiPSs)through good physi-cal and chemical adsorption,while simultaneously accelerating the nucleation and dissolution kinetics of Li_(2)S,effec-tively suppressing the shuttle effect.The assembled lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)employing the PVS-based inter-layer delivered a high initial discharge capacity of 1386 mAh·g^(-1)at 0.1C(167.5 mAh·g^(-1)),long-term cycling stabil-ity,and good rate property.

文摘Kagome materials are known for hosting exotic quantum states,including quantum spin liquids,charge density waves,and unconventional superconductivity.The search for kagome monolayers is driven by their ability to exhibit neat and well-defined kagome bands near the Fermi level,which are more easily realized in the absence of interlayer interactions.However,this absence also destabilizes the monolayer forms of many bulk kagome materials,posing significant challenges to their discovery.In this work,we propose a strategy to address this challenge by utilizing oxygen vacancies in transition metal oxides within a“1+3”design framework.Through high-throughput computational screening of 349 candidate materials,we identified 12 thermodynamically stable kagome monolayers with diverse electronic and magnetic properties.These materials were classified into three categories based on their lattice geometry,symmetry,band gaps,and magnetic configurations.Detailed analysis of three representative monolayers revealed kagome band features near their Fermi levels,with orbital contributions varying between oxygen 2p and transition metal d states.This study demonstrates the feasibility of the“1+3”strategy,offering a promising approach to uncovering low-dimensional kagome materials and advancing the exploration of their quantum phenomena.

文摘We propose and investigate a novel stable two-dimensional(2D)AlO_(2)with anomalous stoichiometric ratios based on first-principles calculation.2D AlO_(2)has metallic properties.It possesses the rare in-plane and out-of-plane negative Poisson's ratio(NPR)phenomenon,originating from its special sawtooth-like structure.The absolute value of the NPR decreases as the number of layers increases.The adsorption of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)including CH_(2)O,C_(2)H_(3)Cl and C_(6)H_(6)by AlO_(2)exhibit small adsorption distance,large adsorption energy,large charge transfer and significant density of states(DOS)changes,indicating the presence of strong interactions.The desorption time of each gas molecule on the AlO_(2)surface is also evaluated,and the results further suggest that the desorption of VOCs can be controlled by changing the temperature to achieve the recycling of AlO_(2).These interesting properties make 2D AlO_(2)a promising material for electronic,mechanical and sensing applications for VOCs.
