[PMID: 38432168 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.02.189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
The unique superstructures electrode materials are of dominant significance for improving the performance of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). In this work, using nano MIL-96 (Al) as the precursor, a series of the layered (AlO)2OH·VO3 composite superstructures with different morphologies and V-oxide contents were prepared by combining calcination and hydrothermal synthesis. Among which, the HBC650·V4 superstructure is composed of the amorphous Al2O3/C, V-oxide, and the fluffy structure of (AlO)2OH, thus the superstructure can enhance the stability, increase the active center, and shorten Zn2+ diffusion, respectively. It is commendable that, the HBC650·V4 superstructure exhibits a high specific capacity of 180.1 mAh·g-1 after 300 cycles at 0.5 A·g-1. Furthermore, the capacity retention can be as high as 99.6 % after 5000 cycles at a high current density of 5.0 A·g-1, showing superior long cycling stability. Importantly, the in-situ XRD patterns and ex-situ analysis revealed the structural changes and reaction mechanisms of the HBC650·V4 superstructure during Zn2+ insertion/extraction. Therefore, the HBC650·V4 superstructure prepared using Al-MOF exhibits the advanced AZIBs performance. The preparation of nano-MOF into multifunctional superstructures through innovative strategies will be development trend in this field, which opens a new way to design AZIBs cathode materials.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2311127.

Abstract
Potassium-sulfur (K-S) batteries have attracted attention in large-scale energy storage systems. Small-molecule/covalent sulfur (SMCS) can help to avoid the shuttle effect of polysulfide ions via solid-solid sulfur conversion. However, the content of SMCS is relatively low (≤40%), and solid-solid reactions cause sluggish kinetics and low discharge potentials. Herein, SMCS is confined in turbo carbon layers with a content of ≈74.1 wt% via a C/S co-deposition process. In the K-S battery assembled by using as-fabricated SMCS@C as cathode and KFSI-EC/DEC as an electrolyte, anion-regulated two-plateau solid-state S conversion chemistry and a novel high discharge potential plateau at 2.5-2.0 V with a remarkable reversible capacity of 384 mAh g-1 at 3 A g-1 after 1000 cycles are found. The SMCS@C||K full cell showed energy and power density of 72.8 Wh kg-1 and 873.2 W kg-1, respectively, at 3 A g-1. Mechanism studies reveal that the enlarged carbon layer space enables the diffusion of K+-FSI- ion pairs, and the coulombic attraction between them accelerates their diffusion in SMCS@C. In addition, FSI- regulates sulfur conversion in situ inside the carbon layers along a two-plateau solid-state reaction pathway, which lowers the free energy and weakens the S─S bond of intermediates, leading to faster and more efficient S conversion.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are attractive candidates for next generation energy storage devices due to their high theoretical energy density of up to 2600 Wh kg-1 . However, the uneven deposition of lithium, the undesired shuttle of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), and the excess weight fraction of electrolyte severely impair the practical energy density of Li-S batteries. Here, a low concentrated and nonpolar n-hexane (NH)-diluted electrolyte (named as LCDE) with ultralow-density to alleviate the above dilemmas is proposed. The nonpolar NH boosts the diffusion of lithium ion in LCDE, favoring the homogeneous deposition of lithium. This nonpolar effect also reduces the solubilities of LiPSs, promoting a quasi-solid-state transformation of sulfur chemistry, thus tremendously eradicating the shuttle of LiPSs. Most importantly, the ultra-light NH diluent enables the LCDE with an ultralow density of only 0.79 g mL-1 , which reduces the weight of LCDE by 32.5% compared with conventional ether-based electrolyte. Owing to all the merits, the Li-S pouch cell achieves a high energy density up to 417 Wh kg-1 . The nonpolar NH-diluted electrolyte with multifunction presented in this work provides a new and feasible direction to increase the practical energy density of Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted widespread attention due to their high theoretical energy density. However, their practical application is still hindered by the shuttle effect and the sluggish conversion of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). Herein, monodisperse molybdenum (Mo) nanoparticles embedded onto nitrogen-doped graphene (Mo@N-G) were developed and used as a highly efficient electrocatalyst to enhance LiPS conversion. The weight ratio of the electrocatalyst in the catalyst/sulfur cathode is only 9%. The unfilled d orbitals of oxidized Mo can attract the electrons of LiPS anions and form Mo-S bonds during the electrochemical process, thus facilitating fast conversion of LiPSs. Li-S batteries based on the Mo@N-G/S cathode can exhibit excellent rate performance, large capacity, and superior cycling stability. Moreover, Mo@N-G also plays an important role in room-temperature quasi-solid-state Li-S batteries. These interesting findings suggest the great potential of Mo nanoparticles in building high-performance Li-S batteries.
