文摘The discovery of novel materials with compelling properties is more accessible with the help of advanced computational algorithms.Recent experimental synthesis of the biphenylene network(C_(6))motivated us to discover new BN-doped biphenylene networks(C_(4)BN,C_(2)B_(2)N_(2),and B_(4)N_(4))and their applications in Li(K)-ion batteries using an evolutionary algorithm and the first-principles calculations.The thermodynamic,thermal,and mechanical stability calculations and decomposition energy suggest the experimental synthesis of predicted biphenylene networks.Adding BN in the biphenylene networks shows a transition from metal to semimetal to semiconductor.The BN biphenylene network shows an HSE06 band gap of 3.06 eV,smaller than h-BN.The C_(4)BN and C_(2)B_(2)N_(2)biphenylene networks offer Li(K)adsorption energy of-0.56 eV(-0.81 eV)and-0.14 eV(-0.28 eV),respectively,with a low diffusion barrier of 178 meV(58 meV)and 251 meV(79 meV),and a large diffusion constant of 8.50×10^(-5)cm^(2)=s(8.78×10^(-3)cm^(2)=s)and 5.33×10^(-6)cm^(2)=s(4.12×10^(-3)cm^(2)=s),respectively.The calculated Li(K)theoretical capacity of C_(4)BN and C_(2)B_(2)N_(2)biphenylene networks is 940.21 mA h g^(-1)(899.01 mA h g^(-1))and 768.08 mA h g^(-1)(808.47 mA h g^(-1)),with a low open circuit voltage of 0.34 V(0.23 V),and 0.17 V(0.13 V),resulting in very high energy density of 2576.18 mW h g^(-1)(2445.31 mW h g^(-1))and 2181.35 mW h g^(-1)(2263.72 mW h g^(-1)),respectively.Only a slight volume change of 1.6%confirms the robustness of BN-doped carbon-based biphenylene networks.Our findings present novel 2D BN-doped biphenylene networks and a pathway toward their applications in metal-ion batteries.

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High-performance lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries have been developed utilizing a hybrid anode material composed of zinc sulfide/sulfurized polyacrylonitrile.The in situ-generated zinc sulfide nanoparticles serve as catalytic agents,significantly enhancing conductivity,shortening diffusion paths,and accelerating reaction kinetics.Simultaneously,the sulfurized polyacrylonitrile fibers form a three-dimensional matrix that not only provides a continuous network for rapid electron transfer but also prevents zinc sulfide nanoparticle aggregation and mitigates volume changes during charge-discharge cycles.Moreover,the heterointerface structure at the junction of zinc sulfide nanoparticles and the sulfurized polyacrylonitrile matrix increases the availability of active sites and facilitates both ion adsorption and electron transfer.As an anode material for lithium-ion batteries,the zinc sulfide/sulfurized polyacrylonitrile hybrid demonstrates a high reversible capacity of 1178 mAh g^(-1)after 100 cycles at a current density of 0.2 A g^(-1),maintaining a capacity of 788 mAh g^(-1)after 200 cycles at 1 A g^(-1).It also exhibits excellent sodium storage capabilities,retaining a capacity of 625 mAh g^(-1)after 150 cycles at 0.2 A g^(-1).Furthermore,ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction,7Li solid-state magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance,and in situ Raman are employed to investigate the reaction mechanisms of the zinc sulfide/sulfurized polyacrylonitrile hybrid anode,providing valuable insights that pave the way for the advancement of hybrid anode materials in lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries.

文摘Lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)play a pivotal role in today's society,with widespread applications in portable electronics,electric vehicles,and smart grids.Commercial LIBs predominantly utilize graphite anodes due to their high energy density and cost-effectiveness.Graphite anodes face challenges,however,in extreme safety-demanding situations,such as airplanes and passenger ships.The lithiation of graphite can potentially form lithium dendrites at low temperatures,causing short circuits.Additionally,the dissolution of the solid-electrolyte-interphase on graphite surfaces at high temperatures can lead to intense reactions with the electrolyte,initiating thermal runaway.This review introduces two promising high-safety anode materials,Li_(4)Ti_(5)O_(12)and TiNb_(2)O_(7).Both materials exhibit low tendencies towards lithium dendrite formation and have high onset temperatures for reactions with the electrolyte,resulting in reduced heat generation and significantly lower probabilities of thermal runaway.Li_(4)Ti_(5)O_(12)and TiNb_(2)O_(7)offer enhanced safety characteristics compared to graphite,making them suitable for applications with stringent safety requirements.This review provides a comprehensive overview of Li_(4)Ti_(5)O_(12)and TiNb_(2)O_(7),focusing on their material properties and practical applicability.It aims to contribute to the understanding and development of high-safety anode materials for advanced LIBs,addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with their implementation in real-world applications.
