Abstract
Graphitic carbon-coated ZnPS3 is prepared via direct phosphosulfurization and high energy mechanical milling (HEMM) with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and first introduced as an anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The HEMM process with MWCNTs reduces the particle size of as-synthesized ZnPS3 bulk to 100-500 nm and yields the ≈5 nm thick graphitic carbon coated ZnPS3 nanoparticles, which are the nanocomposites of 5 nm sized nanocrystallites embedded in the amorphous matrix. The ZnPS3 electrode undergoes the combined conversion and alloying reactions with Li and Na ions and exhibits high initial discharge and charge capacities in both LIBs and SIBs. The graphitic carbon-coated ZnPS3 electrode exhibits excellent high-rate capability and long-term cyclability. The superior electrochemical properties can be attributed to high electrical conductivity, high Li ion mobility, and high reversibility and structural stability derived from the graphitic carbon-coated nanoparticles. This study demonstrates that the novel graphitic carbon-coated ZnPS3 is a promising anode material for both LIBs and SIBs and the graphitic carbon coating methodology by HEMM is expected to apply to the various metal oxides, sulfides, and phosphides.

Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is considered a promising technology for desalination of sea or brackish water. In this study, a ZnS/g-C3N4 composite was synthesized through a one-step high-temperature method and used as the main material to fabricate CDI electrodes. The results of SEM and TEM showed that spherical-like nanoparticles of ZnS were uniformly distributed on the g-C3N4 sheet. The g-C3N4 phase facilitates the ZnS particles precipitate and restrain their agglomeration, which contributes to a high specific surface area of ZnS. Furthermore, the electrochemical test results indicated that ZnS/g-C3N4 composite had a good capacitance characteristic, low resistance, and high electrochemical stability. Finally, the desalinization performance of the ZnS/g-C3N4 composite electrodes was tested in traditional mode and membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) mode. The results showed that ZnS/g-C3N4//ZnS/g-C3N4 (MCDI) exhibited an optimal desalination capacity. The adsorption amount was 27.65, 50.26, and 65.34 mg/g for NaCl initial concentration of 200, 400, and 600 mg/L, respectively, with the voltage of 1.2 V and flow rate of 5 mL/min. Increasing initial concentration enhanced the conductivity and ion migration rate so as to increase the NaCl adsorption amount. ZnS/g-C3N4 composite can be used as potential electrode material for high performance of MCDI.

Abstract
Zinc sulfide (ZnS) is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high theoretical capacity, abundance, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. Herein, a hydrangea-like ZnS-carbon composite (ZnS-NC) is synthesized through the hydrothermal method and subsequent pyrolysis of a supramolecular precursor guanosine. The resulting composite comprises ultrafine ZnS nanoparticles firmly stabilized on a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix, featuring mesoporous channels and high surface areas. When utilized as an anode material for LIBs, the initial discharge specific capacity of the ZnS-NC electrode reaches an impressive value of 944 mA h g-1 at 1.0 A g-1, and even after 450 cycles, it maintains a reversible capacity of 597 mA h g-1. Compared with pure ZnS, the ZnS-NC composite exhibits significantly improved rate performance and cycling stability. This enhancement in Li-storage performance can be attributed to a synergistic effect within the ZnS-NC composite, which arises from the large exposed active site area, efficient ion/electron transfer, and strong interaction between the ZnS nanoparticles and the carbon framework. Overall, this work presents an eco-friendly approach for developing metal sulfide-carbon composites with exceptional potential for energy storage applications.

Mass Loading-Independent Lithium Storage of Transitional Metal Compounds Achieved by Multi-Dimensional Synergistic Nanoarchitecture. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2303019. [PMID: 37548139 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202303019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
Nanostructured transitional metal compounds (TMCs) have demonstrated extraordinary promise for high-efficient and rapid lithium storage. However, good performance is usually limited to electrodes with low mass loading (≤1.0 mg cm-2 ) and is difficult to realize at higher mass loading due to increased electrons/ions transport limitations in the thicker electrode. Herein, the multi-dimensional synergistic nanoarchitecture design of graphene-wrapped MnO@carbon microcapsules (capsule-like MnO@C-G) is reported, which demonstrates impressive mass loading-independent lithium storage properties. Highly porous MnO nanoclusters assembled by 0D nanocrystals facilitate sufficient electrolyte infiltration and shorten the solid-state ions transport path. 1D carbon shell, 2D graphene, and 3D continuous network with tight interconnection accelerate electrons transport inside the thick electrode. The capsule-like MnO@C-G delivers ultrahigh gravimetric capacity retention of 91.0% as the mass loading increases 4.3 times, while the areal capacities increase linearly with the mass loading at various current densities. Specifically, the capsule-like MnO@C electrode delivers a remarkable areal capacity of 2.0 mAh cm-2 at a mass loading of 3.0 mg cm-2 . Moreover, the capsule-like MnO@C also demonstrates excellent performance in full battery applications. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of multi-dimensional synergistic nanoarchitecture in achieving mass loading-independent performance, which can be extended to other TMCs for electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
In this article, a new zinc-containing ionic liquid (IL) [HMMIm]2[ZnCl4] (HMMIm = 1-hexyl-2,3-dimethyl-imidazolium) is designed, which acts as a multifunctional source for the interfacial engineering of ZnS nanodots (NDs). Given the electrostatic interaction driven by the imidazolium cation, the steric effect of the alkyl chain, and the in situ released Zn ion from the IL, [HMMIm]2[ZnCl4] shows great advantages in controlling the formation of ZnS NDs. Based on this strategy, a nanocomposite consisting of homodispersed ZnS NDs anchored on sulfur/nitrogen dual-doped reduced graphene oxide (ZnS-NDs@SNG) is prepared. When evaluated as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the nanocomposite delivers high reversible specific capacity, excellent high-rate performance, and superior cycling life. In particular, a discharge capacity of 648.1 mA h g-1 can be achieved at a high current density (10.0 A g-1) over 5000 cycles. Benefitting from the multifunctional IL and the simple synthesis protocol, the IL-assisted interfacial engineering strategy will enable a new avenue for the controllable synthesis of metal-sulfide-based anode materials.

Abstract
Metal sulfides are promising anode materials for lithium ion batteries because of the high specific capacities and better electrochemical kinetics comparing to their oxide counterparts. In this paper, novel monocrystalline wurtzite ZnS@N-doped carbon (ZnS@N-C) nanoplates, whose morphology and phase are different from the common ZnS particles with cubic phase, are successfully synthesized. The ZnS@N-C nanoplates exhibit long cycle life with a high reversible specific capacity of 536.8 mAh · g-1after 500 cycles at a current density of 500 mA · g-1, which is superior to the pure ZnS nanoplates, illustrating the obvious effect of the N-doped carbon coating for mitigating volume change of the ZnS nanoplates and enhancing the electronic conductivity during charge/discharge processes. Furthermore, it is revealed that the ZnS single crystals with wurtzite phase in the ZnS@N-C nanoplates are transformed to the polycrystalline cubic phase ZnS after charge/discharge processes. In particular, the ZnS@N-C nanoplates are combined with the commercial LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2cathode to fabricate a new type of LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2/ZnS@N-C complete battery, which exhibits good cycling durability up to 120 cycles at a charge/discharge rate of 1 C after the prelithiation treatment on the ZnS@N-C anode, highlighting the potential of the ZnS@N-C nanoplates anode material applied in lithium ion battery.

Abstract
ZnS has great potentials as an anode for lithium storage because of its high theoretical capacity and resource abundance; however, the large volume expansion accompanied with structural collapse and low conductivity of ZnS cause severe capacity fading and inferior rate capability during lithium storage. Herein, 0D-2D ZnS nanodots/Ti3C2Tx MXene hybrids are prepared by anchoring ZnS nanodots on Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets through coordination modulation between MXene and MOF precursor (ZIF-8) followed with sulfidation. The MXene substrate coupled with the ZnS nanodots can synergistically accommodate volume variation of ZnS over charge-discharge to realize stable cyclability. As revealed by XPS characterizations and DFT calculations, the strong interfacial interaction between ZnS nanodots and MXene nanosheets can boost fast electron/lithium-ion transfer to achieve excellent electrochemical activity and kinetics for lithium storage. Thereby, the as-prepared ZnS nanodots/MXene hybrid exhibits a high capacity of 726.8 mAh g-1 at 30 mA g-1, superior cyclic stability (462.8 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1), and excellent rate performance. The present results provide new insights into the understanding of the lithium storage mechanism of ZnS and the revealing of the effects of interfacial interaction on lithium storage performance enhancement.

Abstract
Thin-film lithium-ion microbatteries with a high energy density and long lifespan are exceedingly desired for developing self-powered integrated micro-nano devices and systems. However, exploring high-performance thin-film anodes still remains a challenge. Herein, a double-layer-structure diamond-like carbon-ZnS (DLC-ZnS) thin-film anode fabricated by radio frequency magnetron sputtering exhibits high specific capacity and good cycling stability up to 1000 cycles, superior to the pure ZnS thin-film anode. To understand the mechanism, the bimodal amplitude modulated-frequency modulated atomic force microscopy was used to explore the mechanical properties of the thin films, and the DLC layer shows significantly higher Young's modulus than the ZnS thin film. The DLC interface with a high Young's modulus can effectively buffer the mechanical stress originating from the huge volume changes of the ZnS layer during lithiation/delithiation processes; therefore, the DLC interface maintains the higher mechanical integrity of the DLC-ZnS thin film and improves the utilization of ZnS. In addition, the electrochemical kinetics of the DLC-ZnS and ZnS thin films were also investigated by electrochemical methods. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests indicate the obstacle of the DLC interface to Li+ ion diffusion in the initial charge/discharge processes; however, the DLC-ZnS thin film exhibits lower total resistance than the ZnS thin film afterward. In particular, galvanostatic intermittent titration technique tests were performed to find out the differences between the two thin films during the galvanostatical charge/discharge processes. The results demonstrate the obviously enhanced conversion reaction reversibility and decreased alloy reaction polarization of the DLC-ZnS thin film; therefore, it delivers higher reversible capacity.

An Exploration of Electrocatalytic Analysis and Antibacterial Efficacy of Electrically Conductive Poly (D-Glucosamine)/Graphene Oxide Bionanohybrid. Carbohydr Polym 2020; 240:116242. [PMID: 32475549 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2020.116242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2020] [Revised: 03/25/2020] [Accepted: 03/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
The diversification of environment congenial and conservative nanocomposites is prestigious because of increasing contamination in biota. Poly (D-glucosamine), a natural biopolymer is contemplated as a promising biodegradable polysaccharide for various applications mainly in food packaging, bone substitutes, and water filtration. The drawback of poly (D-glucosamine) is nadir mechanical strength and high hydrophilicity which could be amended by the introduction of graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles (shows excellent load transfer). Homogeneous distribution and well dispersion of GO nanoparticles in poly (D-glucosamine) matrix have been concluded by SEM investigation. Inclusions of 1% GO into the biopolymer matrix results in enhancement of 83.21 MPa of tensile strength in contrary to pristine poly (D-glucosamine). It can be elucidated that increment in properties is due to the crosslinking reaction takes place between the amine and epoxide moieties that exist within poly (D-glucosamine) matrix and GO respectively. The thermal stability of nanocomposites has been increased on addition of nanofiller confirmed by TGA analysis. The resultant nanocomposites were examined for antimicrobial screening against various contagious bacterial strains for packaging applications. Electrochemical characteristics and capacitive investigation of the composites were also studied using cyclic voltammetry and impedance (EIS) respectively. EIS elucidated that the nanocomposite modified electrode exhibited good capacitance behaviour with the Bode phase angle (-45°) which proves the candidates have good capacitive properties. The electrocatalytic properties are found to be diffusion controlled in alkaline medium with good electrical conductivity with low resistance. It is envisioned that the resultant bionanocomposite has potential applications in packaging industry.

Abstract
Conversion-type anodes with high theoretical capacity have attracted enormous interest for lithium storage, although their extremely poor conductivity and volume variations during lithiation-delithiation processes seriously limit their practical applications. Herein, a facile strategy to fabricate ZnO/ZnS@N-C heterostructures decorated on carbon nanotubes (ZnO/ZnS@N-C/CNTs) with metal-organic framework assistance is developed. The as-prepared anodes display higher reversible capacity of 1020.6 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 200 cycles and excellent high-cyclability with 386.6 mAh g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 over 400 cycles. The conductive CNT network and N-doped carbon shell could successfully improve the electrical conductivity and avoid the aggregation of ultrasmall ZnO/ZnS nanoparticles. The results calculated from density functional theory also suggest that the ZnO/ZnS heterostructures could promote electron-transfer capability.

Abstract
Although sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered promising alternatives to their Li counterparts, they still suffer from challenges like slow kinetics of the sodiation process, large volume change, and inferior cycling stability. On the other hand, the presence of additional reversible conversion reactions makes the metal compounds the preferred anode materials over carbon. However, conductivity and crystallinity of such materials often play the pivotal role in this regard. To address these issues, atomic layer deposited double-anion-based ternary zinc oxysulfide (ZnOS) thin films as an anode material in SIBs are reported. Electrochemical studies are carried out with different O/(O+S) ratios, including O-rich and S-rich crystalline ZnOS along with the amorphous phase. Amorphous ZnOS with the O/(O+S) ratio of ≈0.4 delivers the most stable and considerably high specific (and volumetric) capacities of 271.9 (≈1315.6 mAh cm-3 ) and 173.1 mAh g-1 (≈837.7 mAh cm-3 ) at the current densities of 500 and 1000 mA g-1 , respectively. A dominant capacitive-controlled contribution of the amorphous ZnOS anode indicates faster electrochemical reaction kinetics. An electrochemical reaction mechanism is also proposed via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. A comparison of the cycling stability further establishes the advantage of this double-anion-based material over pristine ZnO and ZnS anodes.

Enhanced Cycle Stability of Zinc Sulfide Anode for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Storage: Effect of Conductive Hybrid Matrix on Active ZnS. NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9091221.

Abstract
Zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanocrystallites embedded in a conductive hybrid matrix of titanium carbide and carbon, are successfully fabricated via a facile high-energy ball-milling (HEBM) process. The structural and morphological analyses of the ZnS-TiC-C nanocomposites reveal that ZnS and TiC nanocrystallites are homogeneously distributed in an amorphous carbon matrix. Compared with ZnS-C and ZnS composites, the ZnS-TiC-C nanocomposite exhibits significantly improved electrochemical performance, delivering a highly reversible specific capacity (613 mA h g−1 over 600 cycles at 0.1 A g−1, i.e., ~85% capacity retention), excellent long-term cyclic performance (545 mA h g−1 and 467 mA h g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 and 1 A g−1, respectively, after 600 cycles), and good rate capability at 10 A g−1 (69% capacity retention at 0.1 A g−1). The electrochemical performance is significantly improved, primarily owing to the presence of conductive hybrid matrix of titanium carbide and amorphous carbon in the ZnS-TiC-C nanocomposites. The matrix not only provides high conductivity but also acts as a mechanical buffering matrix preventing huge volume changes during prolonged cycling. The lithiation/delithiation mechanisms of the ZnS-TiC-C electrodes are examined via ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Furthermore, to investigate the practical application of the ZnS-TiC-C nanocomposite, a coin-type full cell consisting of a ZnS-TiC-C anode and a LiFePO4–graphite cathode is assembled and characterized. The cell exhibits excellent cyclic stability up to 200 cycles and a good rate performance. This study clearly demonstrates that the ZnS-TiC-C nanocomposite can be a promising negative electrode material for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The fabrication and design of electrodes that transfer more energy at high rates is very crucial for battery technology because of the increasing need for electrical energy storage. Usually, reducing a material's volume expansion and improving its electrical conductivity can promote electron and Li+/Na+ ion transfer in nanostructured electrodes and improve rate capability and stability. Here, we demonstrate a general metal- Aspergillus niger bioleaching approach for preparing novel fungus-inspired electrode materials that may enable high-performance lithium ion/sodium ion batteries with one-dimensional architectures. The fungus functions as a natural template to provide large amounts of nitrogen/carbon sources, which are functionalized with metal sulfide nanoparticles, yielding various metal sulfide nanoparticles/nitrogen-doped carbonaceous fibers (MS/NCF (MS = ZnS, Co9S8, FeS, Cu1.81S)) with high conductivity. In addition, the as-obtained MS/NCF has a uniform fiber architecture and abundant porous structure, which can also enhance the storage ability for LIBs and SIBs. Taking ZnS/NCF as an example, the material exhibits a high specific capacity of up to 715.5 mAh g-1 (100 cycles) and 455 mAh g-1 (50 cycles) at 0.1 A g-1 for LIBs and SIBs, respectively. This versatile approach for employing a fungus as a sustainable template to form high-performance electrodes may provide a systematic platform for implementing advanced battery designs.

Abstract
By using ZnO nanorods as an ideal sacrificial template, one-dimensional (1-D) ZnS nanotubes with a mean diameter of 10 nm were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. The phase composition and microstructure of the ZnS nanotubes were characterized by using XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron micrograph), and TEM (transmission electronic microscopy) analysis. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and nitrogen sorption isotherms measurements were also used to study the information on the surface chemical compositions and specific surface area of the sample. The prepared ZnS nanotubes were used as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries. Results show that the ZnS nanotubes deliver an impressive prime discharge capacity as high as 950 mAh/g. The ZnS nanotubes also exhibit an enhanced cyclic performance. Even after 100 charge/discharge cycles, the discharge capacity could still remain at 450 mAh/g. Moreover, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were also carried out to evaluate the ZnS electrodes.

Abstract
ZnS nanoparticles are in situ grown on reduced graphene oxides (rGO) via a simplified one-step hydrothermal method. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is firstly applied as the binder for ZnS based anodes and shows a more advantageous binding effect than PVDF. To simplify the synthesis procedure, l-cysteine is added as the sulfur source for ZnS and simultaneously as the reducing agent for rGO. The average diameter of ZnS nanoparticles is measured to be 13.4 nm, and they uniformly disperse on the rGO sheets without any obvious aggregation. As anode materials, the CMC bound ZnS–rGO nanocomposites can maintain a high discharge capacity of 705 mA h g−1 at a current density of 500 mA g−1 for 150 cycles. The significantly improved electrochemical performance mainly derives from the combined effects of the small and uniformly dispersed ZnS nanoparticles, the high conductivity and structural flexibility of rGO and the strong binding ability of CMC. ZnS nanoparticles are in situ grown on reduced graphene oxides (rGO) via a simplified one-step hydrothermal method.![]()

Abstract
Porous FeVO4 is prepared by hydrothermal method and further modified by coating with carbon to obtain FeVO4 /C with a hierarchical pore structure. FeVO4 /C is used as an anodic electrode in aqueous rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries. The FeVO4 /C material not only has improved electrical conductivity as a result of the carbon coating layer, but also has an increased specific surface area as a result of the hierarchical pore structure, which is beneficial for magnesium-ion insertion/deinsertion. Therefore, an aqueous rechargeable magnesium-ion full battery is successfully constructed with FeVO4 /C as the anode, Mg-OMS-1 (OMS=octahedral molecular sieves) as the cathode, and 1.0 mol L-1 MgSO4 as the electrolyte. The discharge capacity of the Mg-OMS-1//FeVO4 /C aqueous battery is 58.9 mAh g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1 ; this value is obtained by calculating the total mass of two electrodes and the capacity retention rate of this device is 97.7 % after 100 cycles, with almost 100 % coulombic efficiency, which indicates that the system has a good electrochemical reversibility. Additionally, this system can achieve a high energy density of 70.4 Wh kg-1 , which provides powerful evidence that an aqueous magnesium-ion battery is possible.

Abstract
Herein, we report a simple and quick synthetic route to prepare the pure CuFeS2 quantum dots (QDs) @C composites with the unique structure of CuFeS2 QDs encapsulated in the carbon frame. When tested as anode materials for the lithium ion battery, the CuFeS2 QDs @C composites based electrodes exhibit excellent electrochemical performances. When charge-discharge occurred with a current density of 0.5 A g-1, the electrodes exhibit a high reversible capacity (760 mA h g-1) for as long as 700 cycles, which indicates the superior cycling life. Detailed investigations of the morphological and structural changes of CuFeS2 QDs by ex situ XRD, ex situ Raman, and ex situ TEM reveal an interesting electrochemical reaction mechanism, a hybrid of a lithium-copper iron sulfide battery and lithium-sulfur battery. The direct observation of orthorhombic FeS2 by HRTEM and the existence of Li2FeS2 detected by Raman support our assertion. We believe such an electrochemical mechanism would attract more attention to the CuFeS2 nanomaterials as lithium ion battery anode materials. The excellent electrochemical properties would be derived from the unique structure, which include CuFeS2 QDs encapsulated in the carbon frame.
