Core-Double-Shell TiO 2@Fe 3O 4@C Microspheres with Enhanced Cycling Performance as Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:2543. [PMID: 38893808 PMCID: PMC11173600 DOI: 10.3390/ma17112543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Due to the volume expansion effect during charge and discharge processes, the application of transition metal oxide anode materials in lithium-ion batteries is limited. Composite materials and carbon coating are often considered feasible improvement methods. In this study, three types of TiO2@Fe3O4@C microspheres with a core-double-shell structure, namely TFCS (TiO2@Fe3O4@C with 0.0119 g PVP), TFCM (TiO2@Fe3O4@C with 0.0238 g PVP), and TFCL (TiO2@Fe3O4@C with 0.0476 g PVP), were prepared using PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) as the carbon source through homogeneous precipitation and high-temperature carbonization methods. After 500 cycles at a current density of 2 C, the specific capacities of these three microspheres are all higher than that of TiO2@Fe2O3 with significantly improved cycling stability. Among them, TFCM exhibits the highest specific capacity of 328.3 mAh·g-1, which was attributed to the amorphous carbon layer effectively mitigating the capacity decay caused by the volume expansion of iron oxide during charge and discharge processes. Additionally, the carbon coating layer enhances the electrical conductivity of the TiO2@Fe3O4@C materials, thereby improving their rate performance. Within the range of 100 to 1600 mA·g-1, the capacity retention rates for TiO2@Fe2O3, TFCS, TFCM, and TFCL are 27.2%, 35.2%, 35.9%, and 36.9%, respectively. This study provides insights into the development of new lithium-ion battery anode materials based on Ti and Fe oxides with the abundance and environmental friendliness of iron, titanium, and carbon resources in TiO2@Fe3O4@C microsphere anode materials, making this strategy potentially applicable.

Abstract
Ion-sieve adsorbents are effective materials in practical applications for extracting liquid lithium. However, it is greatly suppressed in adsorption capacity and selectivity (Li/Mg) under natural near-neutral conditions of seawater or salt lakes, due to the interference of in situ released H+ and Mg2+ impurity. This paper proposes an adsorbent with a microenvironment-modulating function as a solution. The introduction of quaternary ammonium groups into the carrier accelerates the migration of H+, while preventing the diffusion of Mg2+ by electrostatic repulsion. Besides, it can also prestore OH-, effectively consuming the generated hydrogen ions in situ. Based on the rational design, the alkali consumption of the microenvironment-modulating strategy is dramatically reduced to 1/144 of the traditional alkali-adding method. Additionally, adsorption performance is significantly promoted under natural pH conditions, with a maximum 33 times higher separation factor (selectivity) and 4 times higher adsorption capacity than commercial ion-sieve adsorbents. This development indicates the feasibility of using microenvironment modulation for effective lithium extraction and inspires the development of next-generation high-performance adsorbents.

Abstract
Plasticized starch (PLS) nanocomposite films using glycerol and reinforced with graphene (G) and graphene oxide (GO) were prepared by solvent casting procedure. On one hand, the influence of adding different G contents into the PLS matrix was analyzed. In order to improve the stability of G nanoflakes in water, Salvia extracts were added as surfactants. The resulting nanocomposites presented improved mechanical properties. A maximum increase of 287 % in Young's modulus and 57 % in tensile strength was achieved for nanocomposites with 5 wt% of G. However, it seemed that Salvia acted as co-plasticizer for the PLS. Moreover, the addition of the highest G content led to an improvement of the electrical conductivity close to 5 × 10-6 S/m compared to the matrix. On the other hand, GO was also incorporated as nanofiller to prepare nanocomposites. Thus, the effect of increasing the GO content in the final behavior of the PLS nanocomposites was evaluated. The characterization of GO containing PLS nanocomposites showed that strong starch/GO interactions and a good dispersion of the nanofiller were achieved. Moreover, the acidic treatment applied for the reduction of the GO was found to be effective, since the electrical conductivity was 150 times bigger than its G containing counterpart.

Abstract
Technological advancements are leading to an upsurge in demand for functional materials that satisfy several of humankind's needs. In addition to this, the current global drive is to develop materials with high efficacy in intended applications whilst practising green chemistry principles to ensure sustainability. Carbon-based materials, such as reduced graphene oxide (RGO), in particular, can possibly meet this criterion because they can be derived from waste biomass (a renewable material), possibly synthesised at low temperatures without the use of hazardous chemicals, and are biodegradable (owing to their organic nature), among other characteristics. Additionally, RGO as a carbon-based material is gaining momentum in several applications due to its lightweight, nontoxicity, excellent flexibility, tuneable band gap (from reduction), higher electrical conductivity (relative to graphene oxide, GO), low cost (owing to the natural abundance of carbon), and potentially facile and scalable synthesis protocols. Despite these attributes, the possible structures of RGO are still numerous with notable critical variations and the synthesis procedures have been dynamic. Herein, we summarize the highlights from the historical breakthroughs in understanding the structure of RGO (from the perspective of GO) and the recent state-of-the-art synthesis protocols, covering the period from 2020 to 2023. These are key aspects in the realisation of the full potential of RGO materials through the tailoring of physicochemical properties and reproducibility. The reviewed work highlights the merits and prospects of the physicochemical properties of RGO toward achieving sustainable, environmentally friendly, low-cost, and high-performing materials at a large scale for use in functional devices/processes to pave the way for commercialisation. This can drive the sustainability and commercial viability aspects of RGO as a material.

Abstract
Developing advanced electrode materials with appropriate compositions and exquisite configurations is crucial in fabricating lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high energy density and fast charging capability plateau. Herein, a Fe3O4@reduced graphene oxide (Fe3O4@rGO) coupled architecture was rationally designed and in-situ synthesized. Monodispersed mesoporous Fe3O4 nanospheres were homogeneously formed and strongly bound on interconnected macroporous rGO frameworks to form well-defined three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical porous morphologies. This tailored Fe3O4@rGO coupled architecture fully exploited the advantages of Fe3O4 and rGO to overcome their inherent challenges, including spontaneous aggregating/excessive restacking tendency, sluggish ions diffusion/electrons transportation, and severe volume expansion/structural collapse. Benefitting from their synergistic effects, the optimized Fe3O4@rGO composite electrode exhibited an improved electrochemical reactivity, electrical conductivity, electrolyte accessibility, and structural stability. The optimized composite electrode displayed a high specific capacity of 1296.8 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles, even retaining 555.1 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 2000 cycles. The electrochemical kinetics analysis revealed the predominantly pseudocapacitive behaviors of the Fe3O4@rGO heterogeneous interfaces, accounting for the excellent electrode performance. This study proposes a viable strategy for use in engineering hybrid composites with coupled architectures to optimize their potential as high-performance electrode materials for use in LIBs.

Abstract
The stability of an emulsion has an important effect on enhancing oil recovery. However, the effect of ions with different valences on the stability of the emulsion emulsified by an ionic surfactant is not fully understood. In this study, the effects of Fe(III) species on the stability, microscopic morphology of droplets, interfacial properties, and rheological properties of water-model oil emulsions emulsified by sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS) were explored. The effect of Fe(III) species on the stability of a W/O crude oil emulsion was also explored. The stability experiment results show that the addition of the Fe(III) species impairs the stability of the model oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion, in which the O/W model oil emulsion is inverted to a water-in-model oil (W/O) emulsion at ∼99 ppm. With the increase of Fe(III) species concentration, stable W/O model oil and W/O crude oil emulsions are obtained. The rheological results indicated that the existence of the Fe(III) species has a remarkable effect on the viscosity and viscoelastic behaviors of the water-model oil emulsion. The calculation results based on Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory are in accord with the stability experiment results. Furthermore, the addition of EO groups makes the phase inversion point appear at a higher Fe(III) species concentration, forming a more stable W/O model oil emulsion and a more unstable O/W model oil emulsion. The experimental results are helpful to comprehensively understand the effect of Fe(III) species on the stability of an emulsion emulsified by an anionic sulfonate surfactant, which can help to enhance the oil recovery.
