文摘Conversion-alloying anode materials are competitive candidates for high-energy-density sodium-ion batteries(SIBs).However,the sluggish dynamics and severe volume expansion during Na insertion/extraction become the key bottlenecks hindering their application in SIBs.Herein,SnTe nanoparticles are anchored on reduced graphene oxide(rGO)and encapsulated by nitrogen-doped carbon(NC)to construct SnTe@rGO@NC composite as anode for SIBs,where hierarchical confinement effect can provide a buffer area to accommodate huge volume expansion as well as enhance electronic conductivity and Na-ion transfer kinetics behavior,confirmed by density functional theory(DFT)calculation and experimental study.Meanwhile,structural stability and interfacial charge transfer of the composite can be further improved by the strong chemical bonds of C-Sn and C-Te.High-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy visually at atomic scale declares that SnTe@rGO@NC proceeds conversion-alloying dual-mechanism for Na-ion storage employing Sn as redox center(4SnTe+23Na^(+)+23e^(-)→Na_(15)Sn_(4)+4Na_(2)Te).Thus,SnTe@rGO@NC architecture displays a high reversible specific capacity of 261.5 mAh·g^(-1)at 50 mA·g^(-1),superior rate capability and excellent cycling stability with long-term lifespan over 1000 cycles at 200 mA·g^(-1).The multi-physicochemical encapsulation strategy sheds light on the development of a high-performance conversion-alloying anode for SIBs.

文摘Covalent organic frameworks(COFs)exhibiting reversible redox behaviors have been identified as promising candidates for constructing electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).However,their extensive application has been limited due to finite redox sites and poor structural stability.In this study,we design and synthesize a novel polyimide covalent organic framework(PI-COF)using the traditional solvothermal method and successfully apply it as an anode material for LIBs.The large conjugated structure of PI-COF accelerates charge transfer,while its large surface area provides more active sites,making PI-COF an attractive anode material for LIBs.Furthermore,the PI-COF anode material demonstrates high reversible specific capacity and excellent long-term cycling stability due to its COF characteristics.Specifically,the PI-COF electrodes deliver a specific capacity of 800 m Ah/g at a current density of 200 m A/g after 200 cycles,while a specific capacity of 450 m Ah/g at a current density of 1000 m A/g is sustained after 800 cycles.The outstanding lithium storage capacity,particularly the satisfactory long-term cycling stability,establishes PI-COF as a promising material for LIBs.

文摘There is an ideal desire to develop the high-performance anodes materials for Liion batteries(LIBs),which requires not onlyhigh stability and reversibility,but also rapidcharging/discharging rate.In this work,webuiltablue phosphorene-graphene(BlueP-G)intralayer heterostructure by connecting BlueP and graphene monolayers at zigzag edges with covalent bonds.Based on the density functional theory simulation,the electronic structure of the heterostructure,Li adsorption and Li diffusion on heterostructure were systematically investigated.Compared with the pristine BlueP,the existence of graphene layer increases the overall conductivity of BlueP-G intralayer heterostructure.The significantly enhanced adsorption energy indicates the Li deposition on anode surface is energetically favored.The fast diffusion of Li with energy barrier as low as 0.02-0.09 eV indicates the growth of Li dendrite could be suppressed and the stability and reversibility of the battery will be increased.With a combination of increased conductivity of electronic charge,excellent Li adsorption and Li mobility on surface,BlueP-G intralayer heterostructure with zigzag interface is quite promising in the application of anode material for Li-ion batteries.

文摘Due to its low cost and natural abundance of sodium,Na-ion batteries(NIBs)are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage systems.The development of ultralow voltage anode materials is of great significance in improving the energy density of NIBs.Low-voltage anode materials,however,are severely lacking in NIBs.Of all the reported insertion oxides anodes,the Na_(2)Ti_(3)O_(7) has the lowest operating voltage(an average potential of 0.3 V vs.Na^(+)/Na)and is less likely to deposit sodium,which has excellent potential for achieving NIBs with high energy densities and high safety.Although significant progress has been made,achieving Na_(2)Ti_(3)O_(7) electrodes with excellent performance remains a severe challenge.This paper systematically summarizes and discusses the physicochemical properties and synthesis methods of Na_(2)Ti_(3)O_(7).Then,the sodium storage mechanisms,key issues and challenges,and the optimization strategies for the electrochemical performance of Na_(2)Ti_(3)O_(7) are classified and further elaborated.Finally,remaining challenges and future research directions on the Na_(2)Ti_(3)O_(7) anode are highlighted.This review offers insights into the design of high-energy and high-safety NIBs.

文摘Metal-covalent organic frameworks(MCOF)as a bridge between covalent organic framework(COF)and metal organic framework(MOF)possess the characteristics of open metal sites,structure stability,crystallinity,tunability as well as porosity,but still in its infancy.In this work,a covalent organic framework DT-COF with a keto-enamine structure synthesized from the condensation of 3,3'-dihydroxybiphenyl diamine(DHBD)and triformylphloroglucinol(TFP)was coordinated with Cu^(2+)by a simple post-modification method to a obtain a copper-coordinated metal-covalent organic framework of Cu-DT COF.The isomerization from a keto-enamine structure of DT-COF to a enol-imine structure of Cu-DT COF is induced due to the coordination interaction of Cu^(2+).The structure change of Cu-DT COF induces the change of the electron distribution in the Cu-DT COF,which greatly promotes the activation and deep Li-storage behavior of the COF skeleton.As anode material for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),Cu-DT COF exhibits greatly improved electrochemical performance,retaining the specific capacities of 760 mAh g^(-1)after 200 cycles and 505 mAh g^(-1)after 500 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A g^(-1).The preliminary lithium storage mechanism studies indicate that Cu^(2+)is also involved in the lithium storage process.A possible mechanism for Cu-DT COF was proposed on the basis of FT-IR,XPS,EPR characterization and electrochemical analysis.This work enlightens a novel strategy to improve the energy storage performance of COF and promotes the application of COF and MCOF in LIBs.
