Abstract
2D alloy-based anodes show promise in potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Nevertheless, their low tap density and huge volume expansion cause insufficient volumetric capacity and cycling stability. Herein, a 3D highly dense encapsulated architecture of 2D-Bi nanosheets (HD-Bi@G) with conducive elastic networks and 3D compact encapsulation structure of 2D nano-sheets are developed. As expected, HD-Bi@G anode exhibits a considerable volumetric capacity of 1032.2 mAh cm-3, stable long-life span with 75% retention after 2000 cycles, superior rate capability of 271.0 mAh g-1 at 104 C, and high areal capacity of 7.94 mAh cm-2 (loading: 24.2 mg cm-2) in PIBs. The superior volumetric and areal performance mechanisms are revealed through systematic kinetic investigations, ex situ characterization techniques, and theorical calculation. The 3D high-conductivity elastic network with dense encapsulated 2D-Bi architecture effectively relieves the volume expansion and pulverization of Bi nanosheets, maintains internal 2D structure with fast kinetics, and overcome sluggish ionic/electronic diffusion obstacle of ultra-thick, dense electrodes. The uniquely encapsulated 2D-nanosheet structure greatly reduces K+ diffusion energy barrier and accelerates K+ diffusion kinetics. These findings validate a feasible approach to fabricate 3D dense encapsulated architectures of 2D-alloy nanosheets with conductive elastic networks, enabling the design of ultra-thick, dense electrodes for high-volumetric-energy-density energy storage.

Molecules 2024; 29:2977. [PMID: 38998929 PMCID: PMC11243079 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29132977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have been widely studied owing to the abundant reserves, widespread distribution, and easy extraction of potassium (K) resources. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has received a great deal of attention as a key anode material for PIBs owing to its two-dimensional diffusion channels for K+ ions. However, due to its poor electronic conductivity and the huge influence of embedded K+ ions (with a large ionic radius of 3.6 Å) on MoS2 layer, MoS2 anodes exhibit a poor rate performance and easily collapsed structure. To address these issues, the common strategies are enlarging the interlayer spacing to reduce the mechanical strain and increasing the electronic conductivity by adding conductive agents. However, simultaneous implementation of the above strategies by simple methods is currently still a challenge. Herein, MoS2 anodes on reduced graphene oxide (MoS2/rGO) composite were prepared using one-step hydrothermal methods. Owing to the presence of rGO in the synthesis process, MoS2 possesses a unique scaled structure with large layer spacing, and the intrinsic conductivity of MoS2 is proved. As a result, MoS2/rGO composite anodes exhibit a larger rate performance and better cycle stability than that of anodes based on pure MoS2, and the direct mixtures of MoS2 and graphene oxide (MoS2-GO). This work suggests that the composite material of MoS2/rGO has infinite possibilities as a high-quality anode material for PIBs.

Abstract
Metal chalcogenides as an ideal family of anode materials demonstrate a high theoretical specific capacity for potassium ion batteries (PIBs), but the huge volume variance and poor cyclic stability hinder their practical applications. In this study, a design of a stress self-adaptive structure with ultrafine SnSe nanoparticles embedded in carbon nanofiber (SnSe@CNF) via the electrospinning technology is presented. Such an architecture delivers a record high specific capacity (272 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1) and high-rate performance (125 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1) as a PIB anode. It is decoded that the fundamental understanding for this great performance is that the ultrafine SnSe particles enhance the full utilization of the active material and achieve stress relief as the stored strain energy from cycling is insufficient to drive crack propagation and thus alleviates the intrinsic chemo-mechanical degradation of metal chalcogenides.

Abstract
MnNb2 O6 anode has attracted much attention owing to its unique properties for holding Li ions. Unluckily, its application as a Li-ion battery anode is restricted by low capacity because of the inferior electronic conductivity and limited electron transfer. Previous studies suggest that structure and component optimization could improve its reversible capacity. This improvement is always companied by capacity increments, however, the reasons have rarely been identified. Herein, MnNb2 O6 -C nanofibers (NFs) with MnNb2 O6 nanoparticles (~15 nm) confined in carbon NFs, and the counterpart MnNb2 O6 NFs consisting of larger nanoparticles (40-100 nm) are prepared by electrospinning for clarifying this phenomenon. The electrochemical evaluations indicate that the capacity achieved by the MnNb2 O6 NF electrode presents an activation process and a degradation in subsequence. Meanwhile, the MnNb2 O6 -C NF electrode delivers high reversible capacity and ultra-stable cycling performance. Further analysis based on electrochemical behaviors and microstructure changes reveals that the partial structure rearrangement should be in charge of the capacity increment, mainly including pseudocapacitance increment. This work suggests that diminishing the dimensions of MnNb2 O6 nanoparticles and further confining them in a matrix could increase the pseudocapacitance-dominated capacity, providing a novel way to improve the reversible capacity of MnNb2 O6 and other intercalation reaction anodes.

Abstract
Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs) have attracted extensive interest due to their applications in sodium-ion batteries and capacitors, which have been considered expectable candidates for large-scale energy storage systems. The crucial issues for achieving high-performance SIHCs are the reaction kinetics imbalances between the slow Faradic battery-type anodes and fast non-Faradaic capacitive cathodes. Herein, we propose a simple self-template strategy to prepare kinetically well-matched porous framework dual-carbon electrodes for high-performance SIHCs, which stem from the single precursor, sodium ascorbate. The porous framework carbon (PFC) is obtained by direct calcination of sodium ascorbate followed by a washing process. The sodium-ion half cells with PFC anodes exhibit high reversible capacity and fast electrochemical kinetics for sodium storage. Moreover, the as-obtained PFC can be further converted to porous framework activated carbon (PFAC) with rich porosity and a high specific surface area, which displays high capacitive properties. By using kinetically well-matched battery-type PFC anodes and capacitive PFAC cathodes, dual-carbon SIHCs are successfully assembled, which can work well in 0-4 V. The optimal PFC//PFAC SIHC exhibits high energy density (101.6 Wh kg-1 at 200 W kg-1), power density (20 kW kg-1 at 51.1 Wh kg-1), and cyclic performance (71.8 % capacitance attenuation over 10,000 cycles).

Abstract
Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) and antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) compounds have attracted considerable attention for applications in different optoelectronic devices due to their notable optical and electrical properties, and due to the strong anisotropy of these properties along different crystallographic directions. However, the efficient use of these promising compounds still requires significant efforts in characterization of their fundamental properties. In the present study, Raman scattering and spectroscopic ellipsometry were used to investigate the vibrational and optical properties of Sb2Se3 and Sb2S3 bulk polycrystals grown by the modified Bridgman method. The first technique proved the presence of the desired Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3 phases in the analyzed ingots and confirmed the absence of any preferential crystallographic orientation at the measured surface of the samples. Spectroscopic ellipsometry was performed using a multi-oscillator Tauc-Lorentz dispersion model, and yielded a complex dielectric function of chalcogenides over the range 1.0-4.6 eV with a three phase model (ambient, surface and bulk materials). Finally, spectral data on the refractive index, the extinction coefficient, the absorption coefficient and the reflectivity at normal incidence, R, were obtained, which serve as a reference for the optical modeling of optoelectronic devices based on polycrystalline Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3 compounds.

Abstract
Transition metal selenides are considered as promising anode materials for fast-charging sodium-ion batteries due to their high theoretical specific capacity. However, the low intrinsic conductivity, particle aggregation, and large volume expansion problems can severely inhibit the high-rate and long-cycle performance of the electrode. Herein, FeSe2nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (FeSe2@NCF) have been synthesized using the electrospinning and selenization process, which can alleviate the volume expansion and particle aggregation during the sodiation/desodiation and improve the electrical conductivity of the electrode. The FeSe2@NCF electrode delivers the outstanding specific capacity of 222.3 mAh g-1at a fast current density of 50 A g-1and 262.1 mAh g-1at 10 A g-1with the 87.8% capacity retention after 5000 cycles. Furthermore, the Na-ion full cells assembled with pre-sodiated FeSe2@NCF as anode and Na3V2(PO4)3/C as cathode exhibit the reversible specific capacity of 117.6 mAh g-1at 5 A g-1with the 84.3% capacity retention after 1000 cycles. This work provides a promising way for the conversion-based metal selenides for the applications as fast-charging sodium-ion battery anode.

Abstract
Germanium oxide (GeO2) is a high theoretical capacity electrode material due to its alloying and conversion reaction. However, the actual cycling capacity is rather poor on account of suffering low electron/ion conductivity, enormous volume change and agglomeration in the repeated lithiation/delithiation process, which renders quite a low reversible electrochemical lithium storage reaction. In this work, highly amorphous GeO2 particles are uniformly distributed in the carbon nanofiber framework, and the amorphous carbon nanofiber not only improves the conduction and buffers the volume changes but also prevents active material agglomeration. As a result, the present GeO2 and carbon composite electrode exhibits highly reversible alloying and conversion processes during the whole cycling process. The two reversible electrochemical reactions are verified by differential capacity curves and cyclic voltammetry measurements during the whole cycling process. The corresponding reversible capacity is 747 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles at a current density of 0.3 A g-1. The related reversible capacities are 933, 672, 487 and 302 mAh g-1 at current densities of 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6 A g-1, respectively. The simple strategy for the design of amorphous GeO2/carbon composites enables potential application for high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery has been considered as a potential next-era energy storage device. However, its practical application is limited by the volume change of sulfur and the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides. To effectively overcome these issues, a hollow carbon decorated with cobalt nanoparticles and interconnected by nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes (Co-NCNT@HC) is developed for high-performance Li-S battery. The uniformly distributed nitrogen and cobalt nanoparticles in Co-NCNT@HC are able to enhance the chemical adsorption capability and fasten the transformation speed of the intermediates, thus effectively inhibit the loss of lithium polysulfides. Moreover, the hollow carbon spheres interconnected by carbon nanotubes are structurally stable and electrically conductive. Due to the unique structure, the Li-S battery enhanced by Co-NCNT@HC shows a high initial capacity of 1550 mAh/g at 0.1 A g-1. Even at a high current density of 2.0 A g-1, after 1000 cycles, it still maintains a capacity of 750 mAh/g with a capacity retention of 76.4% (the capacity decay rate is only 0.037% per cycle). This study provides a promising strategy for the development of high-performance Li-S batteries.

Abstract
The conversion and alloying-type anodes for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have drawn attention. However, it is still a challenge to relieve the huge volume expansion/electrode pulverization. Herein, we synthesized a composite material comprising Bi0.48Sb1.52Se3 nanoparticles uniformly dispersed in carbon nanofibers (Bi0.48Sb1.52Se3@C). Benefiting from the synergistic effects of the high electronic conductivity of Bi0.48Sb1.52Se3 and the mechanical confinement of the carbon fiber that buffers the large chemomechanical stress, the Bi0.48Sb1.52Se3@C//K half cells deliver a high reversible capacity (491.4 mAh g-1, 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1) and an extraordinary cyclability (80% capacity retention, 1000 cycles at 1000 mA g-1). Furthermore, the Bi0.48Sb1.52Se3@C-based PIB full cells achieve a high energy density of 230 Wh kg-1. In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals an intercalation, conversion, and alloying three-step reaction mechanism and a reversible amorphous transient phase. More impressively, the nanofiber electrode can almost return to its original diameter after the potassiation and depotassiation reaction, indicating a highly reversible volume change process, which is distinct from the other conversion type electrodes. This work reveals the stable potassium storage mechanisms of Bi0.48Sb1.52Se3@C composite material, which provides an effective strategy to enable conversion/alloying-type anodes for high performance PIBs for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Nickel-based materials have been extensively deemed as promising anodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to their superior capacity. Unfortunately, the rational design of electrodes as well as long-term cycling performance remains a thorny challenge due to the huge irreversible volume change during the charge/discharge process. Herein, the heterostructured ultrafine nickel sulfide/nickel phosphide (NiS/Ni2P) nanoparticles closely attached to the interconnected porous carbon sheets (NiS/Ni2P@C) are designed by facile hydrothermal and annealing methods. The NiS/Ni2P heterostructure promotes ion/electron transport, thus accelerating the electrochemical reaction kinetics benefited from the built-in electric field effect. Moreover, the interconnected porous carbon sheets offer rapid electron migration and excellent electronic conductivity, while releasing the volume variance during Na+ intercalation and deintercalation, guaranteeing superior structural stability. As expected, the NiS/Ni2P@C electrode exhibits a high reversible specific capacity of 344 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and great rate stability. Significantly, the implementation of NiS/Ni2P@C//Na3(VPO4)2F3 SIB full cell configuration exhibits relatively satisfactory cycle performance, which suggests its widely practical application. This research will develop an effective method for constructing heterostructured hybrids for electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Rechargeable potassium (K) batteries that are of low cost, with high energy densities and long cycle lives have attracted tremendous interest in affordable and large-scale energy storage. However, the large size of the K-ion leads to sluggish reaction kinetics and causes a large volume variation during the ion insertion/extraction processes, thus hindering the utilization of active electrode materials, triggering a serious structural collapse, and deteriorating the cycling performance. Therefore, the exploration of suitable materials/hosts that can reversibly and sustainably accommodate K-ions and host K metals are urgently needed. Electrospun carbon-based materials have been extensively studied as electrode/host materials for rechargeable K batteries owing to their designable structures, tunable composition, hierarchical pores, high conductivity, large surface areas, and good flexibility. Here, we present the recent developments in electrospun CNF-based nanomaterials for various K batteries (e.g., K-ion batteries, K metal batteries, K-chalcogen batteries), including their fabrication methods, structural modulation, and electrochemical performance. This Feature Article is expected to offer guidelines for the rational design of novel electrospun electrodes for the next-generation K batteries.

Abstract
Metallic Bi, as an alloying-type anode material, has demonstrated tremendous potential for practical application of potassium-ion batteries. However, the giant volume expansion, severe structure pulverization, and sluggish dynamics of Bi-based materials result in unsatisfied rate performance and unstable cycling stability. Here, 2D bismuth@N-doped carbon sheets with BiOC bond and internal void space (2D Bi@NOC) are successfully fabricated via a self-template strategy to address these issues, which own ultrafast electrochemical kinetics and impressive long-term cycling stability for delivering an admirable capacity of 341.7 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 10 A g-1 and impressive rate capability of 220.6 mAh g-1 at 50 A g-1 . Particularly, the in situ transmission electron microscopy observations visualize the real-time alloying/dealloying process and reveal that plastic carbon shell and void space can availably relieve dramatic volume stress and powerfully maintain structural integrity. Density functional theory calculation and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy test certify that the robust BiOC bond is thermodynamically and kinetically beneficial for adsorption/diffusion of K+ . This work will light on designing advanced high-performance energy materials and provide important evidence for understanding the energy storage mechanism of alloy-based materials.

Abstract
The performance of potassium (K)-ion batteries (KIBs) is not only dependent on electrode materials but also highly related to the electrolyte. In this work, we obtained a cobalt sulfide (CoS)-containing hybrid by the hydrothermal method and subsequent thermal treatment for K-ion storage. After ether-based electrolyte matching, the CoS-containing hybrid achieves a specific capacity of 229 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 300 cycles, and presents enhanced performance in the ether-based electrolyte. According to our measurement and calculation, the CoS-containing hybrid in the ether-based electrolyte promotes the formation of a highly anionic coordination solvated structure, which contributes to the enhancement of the stability of the electrolyte for K-ion storage. In addition, the strong coordination of anions also facilitates the rapid separation of the solvent during the potassiation process, which is also in favor of the decrease of the side reaction of the CoS@RGO hybrid for KIBs. We believe that our work will provide a new perspective on electrolyte engineering to boost the electrode material performance for K-ion storage.

Abstract
Due to the low price and abundant reserves of sodium resources, sodium-ion batteries have become the main candidate for the next generation of energy storage equipment, particularly for large-scale grid storage and low-speed electric vehicles. Transition metal selenides have attracted considerable attention because of their high reversible capacity, superior electrical conductivity and versatile structures. In this study, two-dimensional CuSe nanosheets are synthesized via a simple hydrothermal reaction. When acting as an electrode material for sodium-ion batteries, the CuSe electrode exhibits an initial coulombic efficiency of 96.7% at a current density of 0.1 A g−1 and a specific capacity of 330 mA h g−1 after 100 operation cycles, as well as retains a specific capacity of 211 mA h g−1 even at a high current density of 10 A g−1. Moreover, the anode delivers a specific capacity of 236 mA h g−1 after 3300 cycles at 5 A g−1 with a capacity retention of 91.2%. In sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SHICs) with the two-dimensional CuSe nanosheets and Ti3C2Tx MXene as the negative and positive materials, respectively, the nanosheets without any pre-sodiation present a lifespan of up to 2000 cycles at 2 A g−1 and a capacity retention of about 77.7%. Due to the low price and abundant reserves of sodium resources, sodium-ion batteries have become the main candidate for the next generation of energy storage equipment, particularly for large-scale grid storage and low-speed electric vehicles.![]()

Abstract
Defect engineering have profound influence on the energy storage properties of electrode hybrids by adjusting their intrinsic electronic characteristics. For iron carbide based materials, however, the effect of defect (especially cation vacancies) toward their electrochemical performance are still unclear. Herein, the feasible and scalable synthesis of FexC@NC with 3D honeycomb-like carbon architecture and abundant Fe vacancies via template etching is reported. Such structure enable outstanding lithium-ion storage properties owing to hierarchical pores, improved intrinsic electrochemical activity, as well as the introduction of more active sites. As a result, the FexC@NC-2 presents a high reversible specific capacity of 1079 mAh g-1after 1000 cycles. Moreover, an excellent cycling stability can be achieved via maintaining a high-capacity retention (689 mAh g-1, 98.4%) over 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1. This study provides a feasible strategy for developing high-performance hybrids with hierarchical pore and rich defects structures.

Abstract
Potassium ion energy storage devices are competitive candidates for grid-scale energy storage applications owing to the abundancy and cost-effectiveness of potassium (K) resources, the low standard redox potential of K/K+, and the high ionic conductivity in K-salt-containing electrolytes. However, the sluggish reaction dynamics and poor structural instability of battery-type anodes caused by the insertion/extraction of large K+ ions inhibit the full potential of K ion energy storage systems. Extensive efforts have been devoted to the exploration of promising anode materials. This Review begins with a brief introduction of the operation principles and performance indicators of typical K ion energy storage systems and significant advances in different types of battery-type anode materials, including intercalation-, mixed surface-capacitive-/intercalation-, conversion-, alloy-, mixed conversion-/alloy-, and organic-type materials. Subsequently, host-guest relationships are discussed in correlation with the electrochemical properties, underlying mechanisms, and critical issues faced by each type of anode material concerning their implementation in K ion energy storage systems. Several promising optimization strategies to improve the K+ storage performance are highlighted. Finally, perspectives on future trends are provided, which are aimed at accelerating the development of K ion energy storage systems.
