[PMID: 38586610 PMCID: PMC10995061 DOI: 10.1007/s41918-023-00209-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
Developing electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices (e.g., water splitting, regenerative fuel cells and rechargeable metal-air batteries) driven by intermittent renewable energy sources holds a great potential to facilitate global energy transition and alleviate the associated environmental issues. However, the involved kinetically sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) severely limits the entire reaction efficiency, thus designing high-performance materials toward efficient OER is of prime significance to remove this obstacle. Among various materials, cost-effective perovskite oxides have drawn particular attention due to their desirable catalytic activity, excellent stability and large reserves. To date, substantial efforts have been dedicated with varying degrees of success to promoting OER on perovskite oxides, which have generated multiple reviews from various perspectives, e.g., electronic structure modulation and heteroatom doping and various applications. Nonetheless, the reviews that comprehensively and systematically focus on the latest intellectual design strategies of perovskite oxides toward efficient OER are quite limited. To bridge the gap, this review thus emphatically concentrates on this very topic with broader coverages, more comparative discussions and deeper insights into the synthetic modulation, doping, surface engineering, structure mutation and hybrids. More specifically, this review elucidates, in details, the underlying causality between the being-tuned physiochemical properties [e.g., electronic structure, metal-oxygen (M-O) bonding configuration, adsorption capacity of oxygenated species and electrical conductivity] of the intellectually designed perovskite oxides and the resulting OER performances, coupled with perspectives and potential challenges on future research. It is our sincere hope for this review to provide the scientific community with more insights for developing advanced perovskite oxides with high OER catalytic efficiency and further stimulate more exciting applications.

Abstract
Magnesium-based battery system has emerged as the potential candidate to beyond Li-ion battery system due to the numerous advantageous of magnesium anode, such as natural abundance, high capacity and dendrites free. However, the selection of cathode materials and the intercalation of magnesium-ions in the cathode host material remains a challenge due to the strong interaction of highly polar divalent magnesium ions with the cathode material, making the diffusion of magnesium ions relatively difficult. Herein, the flexible TiVCTx MXene film was developed via a facile and economical approach. As the cathode host material for magnesium-ion storage, the freestanding TiVCTx MXene film displays a high specific capacity of 111 and 135 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.05 A g-1 for magnesium-ion batteries (MIB) and Mg/Li hybrid batteries (MLHB). Furthermore, a long-term cycling stability over 1000 cycles was demonstrated and a detailed investigation of the unique long activation phenomenon of MXene films during cycling. More importantly, the reaction mechanism of magnesium-ion storage was validated, i.e., the MXene interlayer spacing variation with the reversible Mg2+ diffusion behavior. This work reveals the magnesium storage mechanism of MXene materials and provides a new pathway for high-performance storage of magnesium-ion cathode materials.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 656:241-251.

Abstract
For the continued use of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), which require matching anode materials, it is crucial to create high energy density energy storage devices. Here, hollow nanoboxes shaped carbon supported sulfur-doped MoSe2 nanosheets (S-MoSe2@NC) are fabricated by in situ growth and heterodoping strategy. This ensures that the MoSe2 nanosheets are tightly anchored to the nanoboxes carbon, and the structure can effectively buffer the volume stress caused by sodium ion (de)intercalation, as well as providing abundant ion/electron migration transportations. As anode for SIBs, the S-MoSe2@NC shows a higher rate capability and excellent cycling stability (431.1 mAh/g after 1100 cycles at 10 A/g). This excellent cycle life and high rate ability are due to the structural stability and outstanding electronic conductance with reduced band gap of the S-MoSe2@NC, as evidenced by the diffusion analysis and theoretical calculation. In order to promote the application of SIBs, the S-MoSe2@NC and NaNi1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3O2 were assembled into a pouch cell, and the test found that besides the excellent cycle rate performance, the ultrahigh energy density of 256 Wh kg-1 and flexible characteristics can be achieved. This study has proven that building a structure with a rock-steady foundation and quick ion migration may efficiently control sodium storage and pave the way for novel applications of high-performance transition metal dichalcogenides in sodium storage.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 645:55-65. [PMID: 37146379 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.04.079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have the advantages of controllable chemical properties, rich pore structures and reaction sites and are expected to be high-performance anode materials for the next generation of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). However, due to the large radius of potassium ions, the pure MOF crystal structure is prone to collapse during ion insertion and processing, so its electrochemical performance is quite limited. In this work, a hollow carbon sphere-supported MOF-derived Co/CoSe heterojunction anode material for potassium-ion batteries was developed by a hydrothermal method. The anode has high potassium storage capacity (461.9 mA h/g after 200 cycles at 1 A/g), excellent cycling stability and superior rate performance. It is worth noting that the potassium ion storage capacity of the anode material shows a gradual upward trend with the charge-discharge cycle, which is 145.9 mA h/g after 3000 cycles at a current density of 10 A/g. This work demonstrates that MOF-derived CoSe anodes with high capacity and low cost may be promising candidates for the introduction of potassium ion 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
Antimony (Sb) is considered a promising anode for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high theoretical specific capacity and safe Li-ion insertion potential; however, the LIBs suffer from dramatic volume variation. The volume expansion results in unstable electrode/electrolyte interphase and active material exfoliation during lithiation and delithiation processes. Designing flexible free-standing electrodes can effectively inhibit the exfoliation of the electrode materials from the current collector. However, the generally adopted methods for preparing flexible free-standing electrodes are complex and high cost. To address these issues, we report the synthesis of a unique Sb nanoparticle@N-doped porous carbon fiber structure as a free-standing electrode via an electrospinning method and surface passivation. Such a hierarchical structure possesses a robust framework with rich voids and a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film, which can well accommodate the mechanical strain and avoid electrode cracks and pulverization during lithiation/delithiation processes. When evaluated as an anode for LIBs, the as-prepared nanoarchitectures exhibited a high initial reversible capacity (675 mAh g-1) and good cyclability (480 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles at a current density of 400 mA g-1), along with a superior rate capability (420 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1). This work could offer a simple, effective, and efficient approach to improve flexible and free-standing alloy-based anode materials for high performance Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable lithium batteries have been intensively explored due to their potential to deliver a high energy and stable cycling performance. Yet considerable achievements have been reported on battery performance in lab-based research, a broad gap from fundamental research to their industrial application needs to be filled. The significant advances in the field of carbon nanotubes over the past decades make it a promising candidate to bridge such a gap. Nevertheless, a systematic and profound understanding of its roles in Li batteries is lacking. In this review, we discuss the critical role of carbon nanotube in developing several lithium techniques such as Li-ion, Li-sulfur, and Li-air cells. The focus is laid on the elevation of device capacity, energy, and cyclic life to meet the practical demand. We hope this paper, together with other recently-proposed guiding principles, will pave the way for the massive application of carbon nanotube-based lithium batteries.
