Abstract
Electrochemical energy systems mark a pivotal advancement in the energy sector, delivering substantial improvements over conventional systems. Yet, a major challenge remains the deficiency in storage technology to effectively retain the energy produced. Amongst these are batteries and supercapacitors, renowned for their versatility and efficiency, which depend heavily on the quality of their electrode materials. Metal oxide composites, in particular, have emerged as highly promising due to the synergistic effects that significantly enhance their functionality and efficiency beyond individual components. This review explores the application of metal oxide composites in the electrodes of batteries and SCs, focusing on various material perspectives and synthesis methodologies, including exfoliation and hydrothermal/solvothermal processes. It also examines how these methods influence device performance. Furthermore, the review confronts the challenges and charts future directions for metal oxide composite-based energy storage systems, critically evaluating aspects such as scalability of synthesis, cost-effectiveness, environmental sustainability, and integration with advanced nanomaterials and electrolytes. These factors are crucial for advancing next-generation energy storage technologies, striving to enhance performance while upholding sustainability and economic viability.

[PMID: 37374631 DOI: 10.3390/ma16124448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenides as potential anodes for lithium-ion batteries have been widely investigated. For practical application, the drawbacks of low conductivity and volume expansion should be further overcome. Besides the two conventional methods of nanostructure design and the doping of carbon-based materials, the component hybridization of transition metal-based chalcogenides can effectively enhance the electrochemical performance owing to the synergetic effect. Hybridization could promote the advantages of each chalcogenide and suppress the disadvantages of each chalcogenide to some extent. In this review, we focus on the four different types of component hybridization and the excellent electrochemical performance that originated from hybridization. The exciting problems of hybridization and the possibility of studying structural hybridization were also discussed. The binary and ternary transition metal-based chalcogenides are more promising to be used as future anodes of lithium-ion batteries for their excellent electrochemical performance originating from the synergetic effect.

MICROMACHINES 2022; 13:mi13020149.

Abstract
Cobalt oxides have been intensely explored as anodes of lithium-ion batteries to resolve the intrinsic disadvantages of low electrical conductivity and volume change. However, as a precursor of preparing cobalt oxides, Co(OH)2 has rarely been investigated as the anode material of lithium-ion batteries, perhaps because of the complexity of hydroxides. Hybridized Co(OH)2 nanomaterial structures were synthesized by the water bath method and exhibited high electrochemical performance. The initial discharge and charge capacities were 1703.2 and 1262.9 mAh/g at 200 mA/g, respectively. The reversible capacity was 1050 mAh/g after 150 cycles. The reversible capability was 1015 mAh/g at 800 mA/g and increased to 1630 mAh/g when driven back to 100 mA/g. The electrochemical reaction kinetics study shows that the lithium-ion diffusion-controlled contribution is dominant in the energy storage mechanism. The superior electrochemical performance could result from the water bath method and the hybridization of nanosheets and nanoparticles structures. These hybridized Co(OH)2 nanomaterial structures with high electrochemical performance are promising anodes for lithium-ion batteries.
