[PMID: 38882118 PMCID: PMC11170725 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c01966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and their alloys are vital for the development of sustainable and economical energy storage alternatives due to their large interlayer spacing and hosting ability for alkali-metal ions. Although the Li-ion chemically correlates with the Na-ion and K-ion, research on batteries with TMD anodes for K+ is still in its infancy. This research explores TMDs such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and tungsten disulfide (WS2) and TMD alloys such as molybdenum tungsten disulfide (MoWS2) for both sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (KIBs). The cyclic stability test analysis indicates that in the initial cycle, the MoS2 NIB demonstrates exceptional performance, with a peak charge capacity of 1056 mAh g-1, while retaining high Coulombic efficiency. However, the WS2 KIB underperforms, with the least charge capacity of 130 mAh g-1 in the first cycle and exceptionally low retention at a current density of 100 mA g-1. The MoWS2 TMD alloy exhibits a moderate charge capacity and cyclic efficiency for both NIBs and KIBs. This comparison study shows that decreasing sizes of alkali-metal ions and constituent elements in TMDs or TMD alloys leads to decreased resistance and slower degradation processes as indicated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy after 10 cycles. Furthermore, the study of probable electrochemical intercalation and removal processes of Na-ions and K-ions demonstrates that large geometrically shaped TMD flakes are more responsive to intercalation for Na-ions than K-ions. These performance comparisons of different TMD materials for NIBs and KIBs may promote the future development of these batteries.

Abstract
Transition metal derivatives exhibit high theoretical capacity, making them promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Sulfides, known for their superior electrical conductivity compared to oxides, enhance charge transfer, leading to improved electrochemical performance. Here, a hierarchical WS2 micro-flower is synthesized by thermal sulfurization of WO3. Comprising interconnected thin nanosheets, this structure offers increased surface area, facilitating extensive internal surfaces for electrochemical redox reactions. The WS2 micro-flower demonstrates a specific capacity of ≈334 mAh g-1 at 15 mA g-1, nearly three times higher than its oxide counterpart. Further, it shows very stable performance as a high-temperature (65 °C) anode with ≈180 mAh g-1 reversible capacity at 100 mA g-1 current rate. Post-cycling analysis confirms unchanged morphology, highlighting the structural stability and robustness of WS2. DFT calculations show that the electronic bandgap in both WS2 and WO3 increases when going from the bulk to monolayers. Na adsorption calculations show that Na atoms bind strongly in WO3 with a higher energy diffusion barrier when compared to WS2, corroborating the experimental findings. This study presents a significant insight into electrode material selection for sodium-ion storage applications.

Abstract
Engineering novel electrode materials with unique architectures has a significant impact on tuning the structural/electrochemical properties for boosting the performance of secondary battery systems. Herein, starting from well-organized WS2 nanorods, an ingenious design of a one-step method is proposed to prepare a bimetallic sulfide composite with a coaxial carbon coating layer, simply enabled by ZIF-8 introduction. Rich sulfur vacancies and WS2 /ZnS heterojunctions can be simultaneously developed, that significantly improve ionic and electronic diffusion kinetics. In addition, a homogeneous carbon protective layer around the surface of the composite guarantees an outstanding structural stability, a reversible capacity of 170.8 mAh g-1 after 5000 cycles at a high rate of 5 A g-1 . A great potential in practical application is also exhibited, where a full cell based on the WS2- x /ZnS@C anode and the P2-Na2/3 Ni1/3 Mn1/3 O2 cathode can maintain a reversible capacity of 89.4 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1 . Moreover, the underlying electrochemical Na storage mechanisms are illustrated in detail by theoretical calculations, electrochemical kinetic analysis, and operando X-ray diffraction characterization.

Abstract
Novel nitrogen doped (N-doped) hollow beaded structural composite carbon nanofibers are successfully applied for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Tungsten disulfide (WS2 ) nanosheets are confined, through synergistic anchoring, on the surface and inside of hollow beaded carbon nanofibers (HB CNFs) via a hydrothermal reaction method to construct the hierarchical structure HB WS2 @CNFs. Benefiting from this unique advantage, HB WS2 @CNFs exhibits remarkable lithium-storage performance in terms of high rate capability (≈351 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 ) and stable long-term cycle (≈446 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 100 cycles). Moreover, as an anode material for SIBs, HB WS2 @CNFs obtains excellent long cycle life and rate performance. During the charging/discharging process, the evolution of morphology and composition of the composite are analyzed by a set of ex situ methods. This synergistic anchoring effect between WS2 nanosheets and HB CNFs is capable of effectively restraining volume expansion from the metal ions intercalation/deintercalation process and improving the cycling stability and rate performance in LIBs and SIBs.
