J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 658:815-826. [PMID: 38154244 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.12.121] [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: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
Co1.11Te2 nanoparticles are in-situ uniformly grown within mesoporous hollow carbon combination sphere (MHCCS@Co1.11Te2) using a hard-template and spray drying process, solution impregnation and pyrolysis tellurization. Material characterizations reveal that Co1.11Te2, with a diameter of ∼ 20 nm, is attached to the internal walls of the unit spheres or embedded in the mesopore shells of the unit spheres, presenting a distinctive "ships-in-combination-bottles" nanoencapsulation structure. In sodium-ion half-cells, MHCCS@Co1.11Te2 exhibits excellent cycling stability, achieving reversible capacities of 257 mAh/g at 0.5 A/g after 250 cycles, 235 mAh/g at 1.0 A/g after 300 cycles and 161 mAh/g at 10.0 A/g after 1900 cycles. Electrochemical kinetic analyses and ex-situ characterizations reveal rapid electron/Na+ transport kinetics, prominent surface pseudocapacitive behavior, robust nanocomposite structure, and multi-step conversion reactions of sodium polytellurides. In sodium-ion full-cells, MHCCS@Co1.11Te2 still demonstrates stable cycling performance at 1.0 and 5.0 A/g and excellent rate capability. The superior electrochemical performance is associated with the nanoencapsulation structure based on mesoporous hollow carbon combination spheres, which promotes electron conduction and Na+ transport. The space-confined effect maintains the high electrochemical activity and cycling stability of Co1.11Te2.

Abstract
As supercapacitor (SC) technology continues to evolve, there is a growing need for electrode materials with high energy/power densities and cycling stability. However, research and development of electrode materials with such characteristics is essential for commercialization the SC. To meet this demand, the development of superior electrode materials has become an increasingly critical step. The electrochemical performance of SCs is greatly influenced by various factors such as the reaction mechanism, crystal structure, and kinetics of electron/ion transfer in the electrodes, which have been challenging to address using previously investigated electrode materials like carbon and metal oxides/sulfides. Recently, tellurium and telluride-based materials have garnered increasing interest in energy storage technology owing to their high electronic conductivity, favorable crystal structure, and excellent volumetric capacity. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental properties and energy storage performance of tellurium- and Te-based materials by introducing their physicochemical properties. First, we elaborate on the significance of tellurides. Next, the charge storage mechanism of functional telluride materials and important synthesis strategies are summarized. Then, research advancements in metal and carbon-based telluride materials, as well as the effectiveness of tellurides for SCs, were analyzed by emphasizing their essential properties and extensive advantages. Finally, the remaining challenges and prospects for improving the telluride-based supercapacitive performance are outlined.

Abstract
Transition-metal chalcogenide nanostructures provide a unique material platform to engineer next-generation energy storage devices such as lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and potassium-ion batteries and flexible supercapacitors. The transition-metal chalcogenide nanocrystals and thin films have enhanced electroactive sites for redox reactions and hierarchical flexibility of structure and electronic properties in the multinary compositions. They also consist of more earth-abundant elements. These properties make them attractive and more viable new electrode materials for energy storage devices compared to the traditional materials. This review highlights the recent advances in chalcogenide-based electrodes for batteries and flexible supercapacitors. The viability and structure-property relation of these materials are explored. The use of various chalcogenide nanocrystals supported on carbonaceous substrates, two-dimensional transition metal chalcogenides, and novel MXene-based chalcogenide heterostructures as electrode materials to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries is discussed. The sodium-ion and potassium-ion batteries offer a more viable alternative to lithium-ion technology as they consist of readily available source materials. Application of various transition metal chalcogenides such as MoS2, MoSe2, VS2, and SnSx, composite materials, and heterojunction bimetallic nanosheets composed of multi-metals as electrodes to enhance the long-term cycling stability, rate capability, and structural strength to counteract the large volume expansion during the ion intercalation/deintercalation processes is highlighted. The promising performances of layered chalcogenides and various chalcogenide nanowire compositions as electrodes for flexible supercapacitors are also discussed in detail. The review also details the progress made in new chalcogenide nanostructures and layered mesostructures for energy storage applications.

Rational design of hierarchically nanostructured NiTe@CoxSy composites for hybrid supercapacitors with impressive rate capability and robust cycling durableness. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 643:292-304.

Abstract
The hierarchically nanostructured NiTe@CoxSy composites are constructed on a foamed nickel substrate by a two-step electrode preparation process. Structural characterization shows the dense growing of CoxSy nanosheets around NiTe nanorods forms a hierarchical nanostructure which possesses synergetic effects from both compositional and structural complementarity, more pathways for ion/electrolyte transport, richer redox active sites, and better conductivity. Thanks to the rational design of this hierarchical structure, NiTe@CoxSy delivers a high areal capacitance of 7.7F cm-2 at 3 mA cm-2 and achieves the improved capacitance retention of 97.9% after 10,000 cycles. Of particular importance is the successful fabrication of NiTe@CoxSy//activated carbon hybrid supercapacitors. This hybrid device has a wide operating voltage window, high areal energy density of 0.48 mWh cm-2 at 2.55 mW cm-2, impressive rate capability of 62.3% even after a 20-fold increase of the current density, and a 115.1% of initial capacitance retention after 15,000 cycles. Meanwhile, two tandem such hybrid devices can easily drive a pair of mini fans or light up a heart-like pattern assembled by 10 red LEDs. These experimental results not only demonstrate that the hierarchically nanostructured NiTe@CoxSy composites can serve as a prospective candidate electrode; but also develop a novel strategy about how to achieve high-performance stockpile equipment by rationale designing a desirable nanostructures.

Abstract
Transition-metal chalcogenides (TMCs) with tunable direct bandgaps and interlayer spacing are attractive for energy-related applications. Semiconducting zinc chalcogenides, especially their selenides (ZnSe) and tellurides (ZnTe), with enhanced conductivity, high theoretical capacity, low operation voltage and abundance, have appeared on the horizon and receive increasing interest in terms of electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Despite the existing typical obstruction owing to the large volume change, relatively low electrical conductivity and sluggish ion diffusion kinetics into the bulk phase, several effective strategies such as compositing, doping, nanostructuring, and electrode/cell design have exhibited promising applications. We herein provide a timely and systematic overview of recent research and significant advances regarding ZnSe, ZnTe and their hybrids/composites, covering synthesis to electrode design and to applications, especially in advanced Li/Na/K-ion batteries, as well as the reaction mechanisms thereof. It is hoped that the overview will shed new light on the development of ZnSe and ZnTe for next-generation rechargeable batteries.
