A Review of Cobalt-Containing Nanomaterials, Carbon Nanomaterials and Their Composites in Preparation Methods and Application. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12122042. [PMID: 35745382 PMCID: PMC9231360 DOI: 10.3390/nano12122042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2022] [Revised: 06/05/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
With the increasing demand for sustainable and green energy, electric energy storage technologies have received enough attention and extensive research. Among them, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used because of their excellent performance, but in practical applications, the electrochemical performance of electrode materials is not satisfactory. Carbon-based materials with high chemical stability, strong conductivity, high specific surface area, and good capacity retention are traditional anode materials in electrochemical energy storage devices, while cobalt-based nano-materials have been widely used in LIBs anodes because of their high theoretical specific capacity. This paper gives a systematic summary of the state of research of cobalt-containing nanomaterials, carbon nanomaterials, and their composites in LIBs anodes. Moreover, the preparation methods of electrode materials and measures to improve electrochemical performance are also summarized. The electrochemical performance of anode materials can be significantly improved by compounding carbon nanomaterials with cobalt nanomaterials. Composite materials have better electrical conductivity, as well as higher cycle ability and reversibility than single materials, and the synergistic effect between them can explain this phenomenon. In addition, the electrochemical performance of materials can be significantly improved by adjusting the microstructure of materials (especially preparing them into porous structures). Among the different microscopic morphologies of materials, porous structure can provide more positions for chimerism of lithium ions, shorten the diffusion distance between electrons and ions, and thus promote the transfer of lithium ions and the diffusion of electrolytes.

Abstract
The Li1.9K0.1ZnTi3O8@ZrO2 (1 wt%, 3 wt%, and 5 wt%) anode material was synthesized by doping Li2ZnTi3O8 with potassium and coating ZrO2, where the ZrO2 coating layer was prepared by citric acid and zirconium acetate, and the potassium source was KCl. When the added ZrO2 amount is 3%, the material has the most uniform size, reduced polarization, and reduced charge transfer resistance, and the specific capacity of LKZTO@ZrO2 (3 w%) was 361.5 mA h g−1 at 200 mA g−1 at the 100th cycle, which is higher than that of LKZTO, of 311.3 mA h g−1. The specific capacities of LKZTO@ZrO2 (3 w%) at 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 mA g−1 after 10 cycles were 424.9, 410.7, 394.1, 337.6 and 270.6 mA h g−1, indicating that LKZTO@ZrO2 (3 w%) has excellent electrochemical performance. The Li1.9K0.1ZnTi3O8@ZrO2 (1 wt%, 3 wt%, and 5 wt%) anode material was successfully synthesized, where the ZrO2 coating layer was prepared by citric acid and zirconium acetate, and the potassium source was KCl.![]()

Abstract
In this work, a novel lollipop nanostructure of Co3 O4 @MnO2 composite is prepared as anode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Cobalt metal-organic framework (ZIF-67) is grown on the open end of MnO2 nanotubes via a self-assembly process. The obtained ZIF-67@MnO2 is then converted to Co3 O4 @MnO2 by a simple annealing treatment in air. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction characterizations indicate that the prepared Co3 O4 @MnO2 takes a lollipop nanostructure with a stick of ≈100 nm in diameter, consisting of MnO2 nanotube, and a head part of ≈1 µm, consisting of Co3 O4 nanoparticles. The charge-discharge tests illustrate that this unique novel configuration endows the resulting Co3 O4 @MnO2 with excellent electrochemical performances, delivering a capacity of 1080 mAh g-1 at 300 mA g-1 after 160 cycles, and 696 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 210 cycles, compared with 404 mAh g-1 and 590 for pure Co3 O4 polyhedrons and pure MnO2 nanotubes at 300 mA g-1 after 160 cycles, respectively. The lollipop configuration consisting of porous Co3 O4 polyhedron and MnO2 nanotube shows excellent structural stability and facilitates lithium insertion/extraction, leading to excellent cyclic stability and rate capacity of Co3 O4 @MnO2 -based LIBs.

Abstract
Among many types of batteries, Li-ion and Li-S batteries have been of great interest because of their high energy density, low self-discharge, and non-memory effect, among other aspects. Emerging applications require batteries with higher performance factors, such as capacity and cycling life, which have motivated many research efforts on constructing high-performance anode and cathode materials. Herein, recent research about cathode materials are particularly focused on. Low electron and ion conductivities and poor electrode stability remain great challenges. Three-dimensional (3D) porous nanostructures commonly exhibit unique properties, such as good Li+ ion diffusion, short electron transfer pathway, robust mechanical strength, and sufficient space for volume change accommodation during charge/discharge, which make them promising for high-performance cathodes in batteries. A comprehensive summary about some cutting-edge investigations of Li-ion and Li-S battery cathodes is presented. As demonstrative examples, LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, LiFePO4, V2O5, and LiNi1−x−yCoxMnyO2 in pristine and modified forms with a 3D porous structure for Li-ion batteries are introduced, with a particular focus on their preparation methods. Additionally, S loaded on 3D scaffolds for Li-S batteries is discussed. In addition, the main challenges and potential directions for next generation cathodes have been indicated, which would be beneficial to researchers and engineers developing high-performance electrodes for advanced secondary batteries.

Abstract
Cobalt oxide is a transition metal oxide, well studied as an electrode material for energy storage applications, especially in supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries, due to its high charge storage ability. However, it suffers from low conductivity, which effectively hampers its long-term stability. In the present work, a simple strategy to enhance the conductivity of cobalt oxide is adopted to achieve stable electrochemical performance by means of carbon coating and Mn doping, via a simple and controlled, urea-assisted glycine-nitrate combustion process. Structural analysis of carbon coated Mn-doped Co3O4 (Mn-Co3O4@C) confirms the formation of nanoparticles (∼50 nm) with connected morphology, exhibiting spinel structure. The Mn-Co3O4@C electrode displays superior electrochemical performance as a Li-ion battery anode, delivering a specific capacity of 1250 mAh g-1. Mn-Co3O4@C demonstrates excellent performance in terms of long-term stability, keeping charge storage ability intact even at high current rates due to the synergistic effects of fast kinetics-provided by enriched electronic conductivity, which allows ions to move freely to active sites and electrons from reaction sites to substrate during redox reactions-and high surface area combined with mesoporous architecture. The fully assembled battery device using Mn-Co3O4@C and standard LiCoO2 electrode shows 90% capacity retention over 100 cycles.
