Through electrochemical testing and material characterizations, higher calcination temperatures increase the electrostatic repulsion between oxygen atoms in adjacent layers, resulting in an expansion of Na layer spacing. This structural change enhances the diffusion kinetics of Na^(+), thereby significantly improving the rate performance of NCFM. Furthermore, elevated calcination temperatures facilitate the reduction of oxygen vacancies, leading to improved crystallinity. This enhancement in crystallinity mitigates structural strain during phase transitions, contributing to improved cyclic stability. Consequently, the optimized NCFM shows an initial discharge specific capacity of 143.3 mA·h/g at 0.1C, with a capacity retention rate of 79.28% after 100 cycles at 1C.展开更多

The properties and applications of GO are closely related to its interlayer spacing. We report on the changes in the interlayer spacing of GO after the adsorption of water molecules and the polar organic solvents C2H602 （EG）, C3HTNO （DMF）, C5H9NO （NMP）. Experiments were conducted to investigate the variations in the functional groups and structure of GO after solvent adsorp-tion, and they play a vital role in modeling and verifying the results of molecular dynamics simulation. The most stable GO structures are obtained through molecular dynamics simulation. The expansion of the interlayer spacing of GO after the adsorption of monolayer solvent molecules corresponds to the minimum three-dimensional size of the solvent molecules. The spatial arrangement of solvent molecules also contributes to the changes in interlayer spacing. Most adsorbed molecules are oriented parallel to the carbon plane of GO. However, as additional molecules are adsorbed into the interlaminations of GO, the adsorbed molecules are oriented perpendicular to the carbon plane of GO, and a large space forms between two GO interlayers. In addition, the role of large molecules in increasing interlayer spacing becomes more crucial than that of water molecules in the adsorption of binary solvent systems by GO.展开更多

Achieving the facile preparation of high-performance cathodes at ambient temperature remains a challenge, it is however essential for practical applications. Here, in the present study, an efficient ultrasound-assisted one-step fabrication of CoNi double hydroxide(UACoNi DH) microspheres at room temperature that performs well as a cathode for Ni–Zn batteries was proposed. This designed ultrasound-assisted method induces the formation of metal double hydroxide with an elevation of interlayer spacing and bulk conductivity while maintaining the structure features of CoNi DH prepared without ultrasound assistance. As a result, the UA-CoNi DH as an electrode material displays highly enhanced electrochemical properties relative to CoNi DH prepared without ultrasound assistance. Benefitting from the improved performance of our UA-CoNi DH electrode, the Ni–Zn battery with UA-CoNi DH as the cathode(UA-CoNi DH//Zn) delivers a good specific capacity(202.36 mAh/g) and rate performance(70.49% capacity maintained at a 10-fold higher current), presenting more than 71.61%and 21.99% improvement relative to the CoNi DH//Zn battery, respectively. This work offers guidelines for constructing high-performance Ni–Zn battery cathodes in an open environment.展开更多

After high-temperature treatment of MCNFs in vacuum, the obtained fibers （MCNFs-V） had a dilated interlayer spacing of graphene sheets （0.398 nm） and an ultra-low specific surface area （15.3 m2/g）. When used as an anode for sodium-ion batteries, the MCNFs-V showed a discharge plateau below 0.1 V, and sodium was intercalated into the stacked graphene sheets layers during the sodiation process. The MCNFs-V exhibited a reversible and high specific capacity of 222 mAh/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g after 100 cycles and excellent long-term cycling stability, which was superior to that of MCNFs. The improved sodium storage performance was attributed to the unique microstructure of the MCNFs-V with an enlarged interlayer spacing of graphene sheets for sodium intercalation. The MCNFs-V electrode holds great promise as an anode material for commercial sodium-ion batteries.展开更多

文摘NaCu_(0.2)Fe_(0.3)Mn_(0.5)O_(2) (NCFM) cathode material was synthesized using a simple solid-state reaction, and the effect of calcination temperature on its interlayer spacing and oxygen vacancies concentration was investigated. Through electrochemical testing and material characterizations, higher calcination temperatures increase the electrostatic repulsion between oxygen atoms in adjacent layers, resulting in an expansion of Na layer spacing. This structural change enhances the diffusion kinetics of Na^(+), thereby significantly improving the rate performance of NCFM. Furthermore, elevated calcination temperatures facilitate the reduction of oxygen vacancies, leading to improved crystallinity. This enhancement in crystallinity mitigates structural strain during phase transitions, contributing to improved cyclic stability.

文摘Vanadium pentoxide(V_(2)O_(5))with a layered structure is of great interest in the field of electrochromic(EC)due to its abundance of color variations.However,there are still a series of problems such as slow ion diffusion,poor electronic conductivity and cyclic stability in the reaction process.Herein,we successfully prepared a stable and fast multi-color electrochromic material V_(2)O_(5)-PEDOT by a simple“one-pot”method.The layer space of V_(2)O_(5)could be tuned by 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene(named V_(2)O_(5)-PEDOT)during the dissolution and recrystallization of vanadium oxide.The expanded layer spacing facilitates rapid ion insertion and extraction.PEDOT serves as an internal conductive pillar to improve the overall conductivity of the material.The obtained intercrossing structure of the nanobelts shortens the ion diffusion distance and ensures electrolyte penetration.The V_(2)O_(5)-PEDOT exhibits the fast response time(1.1 s for coloration and 3.5 s for bleaching at 422 nm),high optical contrast(ΔT=45%at 422 nm andΔT=35.2%at 1000 nm),great coloration efficiency(CE=97.1 cm2/C),and high cyclic stability(86%preserved after 3000 cycles).The electrochromic devices(ECD)were successfully assembled by using V_(2)O_(5)-PEDOT films as ion storage layers and electrochromic layers,demonstrating remarkable performance.

文摘Nickel–zinc(Ni–Zn) batteries hold a lot of promise for energy storage thanks to their high output voltage, plentiful Zn supply, and low toxicity. Achieving the facile preparation of high-performance cathodes at ambient temperature remains a challenge, it is however essential for practical applications. Here, in the present study, an efficient ultrasound-assisted one-step fabrication of CoNi double hydroxide(UACoNi DH) microspheres at room temperature that performs well as a cathode for Ni–Zn batteries was proposed. This designed ultrasound-assisted method induces the formation of metal double hydroxide with an elevation of interlayer spacing and bulk conductivity while maintaining the structure features of CoNi DH prepared without ultrasound assistance. As a result, the UA-CoNi DH as an electrode material displays highly enhanced electrochemical properties relative to CoNi DH prepared without ultrasound assistance. Benefitting from the improved performance of our UA-CoNi DH electrode, the Ni–Zn battery with UA-CoNi DH as the cathode(UA-CoNi DH//Zn) delivers a good specific capacity(202.36 mAh/g) and rate performance(70.49% capacity maintained at a 10-fold higher current), presenting more than 71.61%and 21.99% improvement relative to the CoNi DH//Zn battery, respectively. This work offers guidelines for constructing high-performance Ni–Zn battery cathodes in an open environment.

文摘Two-dimensional(2D)MoS_(2) nanomaterials have been extensively studied due to their special structure and high theoretical capacity,but it is still a huge challenge to improve its cycle stability and achieve superior fast charge and discharge performance.Herein,a facile one-step hydrothermal method is proposed to synthetize an ordered and self-assembled MoS_(2) nanoflower(MoS_(2)/C NF)with expanded interlayer spacing via embedding a carbon layer into the interlayer.The carbon layer in the MoS_(2) interlayer can speed the transfer of electrons,while the nanoflower structure promotes the ions transport and improves the structural stability during the charging/discharging process.Therefore,MoS_(2)/C NF electrode exhibits exceptional rate performance(318.2 and 302.3 mA·h·g^(-1) at 5.0 and 10.0 A·g^(-1),respectively)and extraordinary cycle durability(98.8%retention after 300 cycles at a current density of 1.0 A·g^(-1)).This work provides a simple and feasible method for constructing high-performance anode composites for sodium ion batteries with excellent cycle durability and fast charge/discharge ability.

文摘Aqueous magnesium ion supercapacitors(MISs)have attracted attention due to their safety,low cost and environmental friendliness.However,the cycling stability of MISs is usually not ideal due to magnesium ion plating in/stripping from the negative electrode materials.Here,we demonstrate that MoS_(2)with expanded interlayer spacing(E-MoS_(2)),obtained via a facile method,is a prospective negative electrode material for rechargeable MISs,because the expanded layer spacing reduces ion diffusion resistance and provides more active sites for ion interaction.

文摘A flexible and free-standing multichannel carbon nanofiber （MCNF） film electrode was fabricated through electrospinning and carbonization. After high-temperature treatment of MCNFs in vacuum, the obtained fibers （MCNFs-V） had a dilated interlayer spacing of graphene sheets （0.398 nm） and an ultra-low specific surface area （15.3 m2/g）. When used as an anode for sodium-ion batteries, the MCNFs-V showed a discharge plateau below 0.1 V, and sodium was intercalated into the stacked graphene sheets layers during the sodiation process. The MCNFs-V exhibited a reversible and high specific capacity of 222 mAh/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g after 100 cycles and excellent long-term cycling stability, which was superior to that of MCNFs. The improved sodium storage performance was attributed to the unique microstructure of the MCNFs-V with an enlarged interlayer spacing of graphene sheets for sodium intercalation. The MCNFs-V electrode holds great promise as an anode material for commercial sodium-ion batteries.

文摘Sc and Y are key rare earth elements and are widely used in lamp phosphors,lasers and high-performance alloys.However,highly efficient extraction and separation of Sc^(3+) and Y^(3+) is laborious,harmful,slow,and costly,strongly necessitating more efficient extraction and separation techniques.Here,we produced hydrated Sc^(3+)-and hydrated Y^(3+)-controlled graphene oxide(GO) membranes and find that both hydrated cations were completely self-rejected by the membrane.By combining this selfrejection effect of the larger hydrated Y^(3+)-controlled GO membrane and the rapid passage of the membrane through the smaller hydrated Sc^(3+),we proposed a strategy to separate Sc^(3+) and Y^(3+) by using a hydrated Y^(3+)-controlled GO membrane.The experimental results show that the permeation rate of Sc^(3+) exceeds that of Y^(3+) when the separation factor reaches 4.02,which can be attributed to the interlayer sieving effects of the GO membrane.Our finding illustrates the use of a forward osmosis process with a GO membrane for the efficient separation of Sc^(3+) and Y^(3+) by interlayer sieving,which provides a new effective and eco-friendly method for the separation of rare earth elements.
文摘K−Na co-doped δ-MnO_(2)(KNMOH)nanoflowers were synthesized,and their cytotoxic effects against HeLa cervical cancer cells were evaluated.The KNMOH exhibited significant dose-and time-dependent cytotoxicity at concentrations of 50 and 100μg/mL.After 24 h of incubation treatment,cell viability decreased to(36.8±6.5)% and(33.4±6.4)%at 50 and 100μg/mL,respectively.With extended exposure to 48 h,cell viability was(45.2±2.3)%and(32.3±2.8)%at the same concentrations.Phase-contrast microscopy revealed characteristic morphological changes including cell shrinkage and membrane blebbing formation,indicative of cell death.These findings demonstrate the potential of KNMOH nanoflowers as a cytotoxic agent for cervical cancer applications and provide a foundation for further mechanistic studies.

文摘Sodium and potassium ion batteries have attracted considerable attention in the last few years owing to abundant resources of sodium and potassium compared to those of lithium.Transition metal dichalcogenide MoSe_(2)shows great potential as an anode because of its high achievable capacity.However,the sluggish kinetics,large volume expansion and pulverization of MoSe_(2)result in severe decay of sodium or potassium storage performance.In this work,a hierarchical MoSe_(2)/N–C nanorod is synthesized with expanded interlayer spacing.Ethylenediamine(EDA)in MoO_(3)·EDA precursor plays an important role in obtaining the hierarchical nanorod structure.The insertion of C and N into the interlayer of the MoSe_(2)results in the enlarged interlayer spacing,which is derived from the carbonization of EDA.The expanded d-spacing of(002)planes enhances the diffusion kinetics of Na^(+)and K^(+)ions.The hierarchical structure and the N-doped carbon coating buffer the volume expansion during the charging/discharging process maintaining the structural integrity of MoSe_(2).As a result,MoSe_(2)/N–C exhibits long cycle performance and high rate capability for both sodium and potassium storage.

文摘Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs)have attracted extensive attention owing to their environmental friendliness and low cost.However,the application of AZIBs is hindered by the lack of suitable cathode materials due to the sluggish kinetics of divalent Zn^(2+)in host materials.Herein,Se doped MoS_(2)nanosheets(MoS_(1.8)Se_(0.2))grown on reduced graphene oxide(rGO)are proposed as a promising cathode for AZIBs.Se doping generates expanded interlayer spacing and a high 1T phase(up to 64%)of MoS_(2),which improve its ion diffusion kinetics and electronic conductivity.Remarkably,the MoS_(1.8)Se_(0.2)/rGO cathode exhibits a high capacity of 213.6 mA h g^(-1)at 0.1 A g^(-1),excellent rate capability of 62.2 mA h g^(-1)at 8.0 A g^(-1),and long-term stability with 74.1%capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g^(-1).Moreover,reversible H^(+)/Zn^(2+)co-insertion/extraction behaviors of MoS_(1.8)Se_(0.2)/rGO are revealed.This study proves that anion doping of metal sulfides is a feasible method to develop high-performance cathodes for AZIBs.

文摘The rate performance and cycle stability of graphitized needle coke(GNC)as anode are still limited by the sluggish kinetics and volume expansion during the Li ions intercalation and de-intercalation process.Especially,the output of energy density for lithium ion batteries(LIBs)is directly affected by the delithiation capacity below 0.5 V.Here,the mildly expanded graphitized needle coke(MEGNC)with the enlarged interlayer spacing from 0.346 to 0.352 nm is obtained by the two-step mild oxidation intercalation modification.The voltage plateau of MEGNC anode below 0.5 V is obviously broadened as compared to the initial GNC anode,contributing to the enhancement of Li storage below the low voltage plateau.Moreover,the coin full cell and pouch full cell configured with MEGNC anode exhibit much enhanced Li storage ability,energy density and better cycling stability than those full cells configured with GNC and commercial graphite anodes,demonstrating the practical application value of MEGNC.The superior anode behaviors of MEGNC including the increased effective capacity at low voltage and superior cyclic stability are mainly benefited from the enlarged interlayer spacing,which not only accelerates the Li ions diffusion rate,but also effectively alleviates the volume expansion and fragmentation during the Li ions intercalation process.In addition,the above result is further confirmed by the density functional theory simulation.This work provides an effective modification strategy for the NC-based graphite to enhance the delithiation capacity at a low voltage plateau,dedicated to improving the energy density and durability of LIBs.
