Radical Polymer-based Positive Electrodes for Dual-Ion Batteries: Enhancing Performance with γ-Butyrolactone-based Electrolytes. CHEMSUSCHEM 2024; 17:e202400626. [PMID: 38747027 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202400626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/19/2024]
Abstract
Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) represent a promising alternative for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) for various niche applications. DIBs with polymer-based active materials, here poly(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-N-oxyl methacrylate) (PTMA), are of particular interest for high power applications, though they require appropriate electrolyte formulations. As the anion mobility plays a crucial role in transport kinetics, Li salts are varied using the well-dissociating solvent γ-butyrolactone (GBL). Lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) and lithium bis(oxalate)borate (LiBOB) improve cycle life in PTMA||Li metal cells compared to other Li salts and a LiPF6- and carbonate-based reference electrolyte, even at specific currents of 1.0 A g-1 (≈10C), whereas LiDFOB reveals a superior rate performance, i. e., ≈90 % capacity even at 5.0 A g-1 (≈50C). This is attributed to faster charge-transfer/mass transport, enhanced pseudo-capacitive contributions during the de-/insertion of the anions into the PTMA electrode and to lower overpotentials at the Li metal electrode.

Abstract
Distinct from "rocking-chair" lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the unique anionic intercalation chemistry on the cathode side of dual-ion batteries (DIBs) endows them with intrinsic advantages of low cost, high voltage, and eco-friendly, which is attracting widespread attention, and is expected to achieve the next generation of large-scale energy storage applications. Although the electrochemical reactions on the anode side of DIBs are similar to that of LIBs, in fact, to match the rapid insertion kinetics of anions on the cathode side and consider the compatibility with electrolyte system which also serves as an active material, the anode materials play a very important role, and there is an urgent demand for rational structural design and performance optimization. A review and summarization of previous studies will facilitate the exploration and optimization of DIBs in the future. Here, we summarize the development process and working mechanism of DIBs and exhaustively categorize the latest research of DIBs anode materials and their applications in different battery systems. Moreover, the structural design, reaction mechanism and electrochemical performance of anode materials are briefly discussed. Finally, the fundamental challenges, potential strategies and perspectives are also put forward. It is hoped that this review could shed some light for researchers to explore more superior anode materials and advanced systems to further promote the development of DIBs.

Abstract
The limitations of resources used in current Li-ion batteries may hinder their widespread use in grid-scale energy storage systems, prompting the search for low-cost and resource-abundant alternatives. "Beyond-Li cation" batteries have emerged as promising contenders; however, they confront noteworthy challenges due to the scarcity of suitable host materials for these cations. In contrast, anions, the other crucial component in electrolytes, demonstrate reversible intercalation capacity in specific materials like graphite. The convergence of anion and cation storage has given rise to a new battery technology known as dual-ion batteries (DIBs). This comprehensive review presents the current status, advancements, and future prospects of sustainable DIBs beyond Li. Notably, most DIBs exhibit similar cathode reaction mechanisms involving anion intercalation, while the distinguishing factor lies in the cation types functioning at the anode. Accordingly, the review is organized into sections by various cation types, including Na-, K-, Mg-, Zn-, Ca-, Al-, NH4 + -, and proton-based DIBs. Moreover, a perspective on these novel DIBs is presented, along with proposed protocols for investigating DIBs and promising future research directions. It is envisioned that this review will inspire fresh concepts, ideas, and research directions, while raising important questions to further tailor and understand sustainable DIBs, ultimately facilitating their practical realization.

Insight into the Role of Fluoroethylene Carbonate on the Stability of Sb||Graphite Dual-Ion Batteries in Propylene Carbonate-Based Electrolyte. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202313142.

Abstract
Sodium dual-ion batteries (Na-DIBs) have attracted increasing attention due to their high operative voltages and low-cost raw materials. However, the practical applications of Na-DIBs are still hindered by the issues, such as low capacity and poor Coulombic efficiency, which is highly correlated with the compatibility between electrode and electrolyte but rarely investigated. Herein, fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) is introduced into the electrolyte to regulate cation/anion solvation structure and the stability of cathode/anode-electrolyte interphase of Na-DIBs. The FEC modulates the environment of PF6 - solvation sheath and facilitates the interaction of PF6 - on graphite. In addition, the NaF-rich interphase caused by the preferential decomposition of FEC effectively inhibits side reactions and pulverization of anodes with the electrolyte. Consequently, Sb||graphite full cells in FEC-containing electrolyte achieve an improved capacity, cycling stability and Coulombic efficiency. This work elucidates the underlying mechanism of bifunctional FEC and provides an alternative strategy of building high-performance dual ion batteries.

Abstract
Dual-ion batteries have been considered as a competitive energy-storage device. However, owing to the lack of suitable high-capacity density and rapid-charging electrode materials, designing a cost-effective and high-performance dual-ion battery is still a great challenge. Herein, an ultrahigh-capacity dual-ion battery is constructed based on a carbon-nanotubes (CNTs) containing SnS2 -MoS2 @CNTs heterojunction anode and highly crystalline free-standing graphite paper serves as cathode. The SnS2 -MoS2 @CNTs heterojunction consisting of ultrathin nanosheets was prepared via a facile two-step hydrothermal method and shows flower-like morphology and high crystallinity. Benefiting from the unique design concept, the graphite paper/SnS2 -MoS2 @CNTs dual-ion battery delivers a high capacity of 274.2 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and has an outstanding capacity retention of 95 % after 300 cycles under 400 mA g-1 . Even at a high current density of 2 A g-1 the battery still retains a considerable capacity of 112.3 mAh g-1 . More importantly, the battery shows an extremely low self-discharge of 0.006 % h-1 after resting for 24 h. Characterization using SEM and XRD further demonstrate the excellent cycling stability and good reversibility. Consequently, this constructed dual-ion battery could be a promising energy storage device and provide new insights for the design of high-performance dual-ion batteries.

Abstract
Considering the extensive resources, flexible structural designability, and abundant active sites, organic electrodes have been considered as the ideal sodium storage materials. However, organic materials generally face the limitations of unstable and dissolved characteristic, leading to a poor cyclic stability. In this work, we proposed a carbon nanotube (CNT) modified polyimide as the anode for sodium-based dual-ion battery (SDIB). The polyimide remains well the structure and morphology of monomer with a stable conjugated structure and high degree of crystallinity, effectively enhancing the electrochemical performance of the SDIBs. Also, the cooperation with CNT particularly improves the ion conductivity of the anode and advances the rate performance. Combined with an ionic liquid electrolyte, the constructed dual-ion battery exhibits excellent rate capability, high specific discharge capacity and stable cycling performance. It delivers a specific discharge capacity of 119.3 mA h g-1 at 0.2 C (1 C=100 mA g-1 ) and still has a specific discharge capacity of 82.3 mA h g-1 even after 1000 cycles at 10 C. Besides, the system displays a low self-discharge rate and stable fast charging performance, which is expected to be applied in the large-scale electrochemical energy storage devices and inspire the future development of SDIBs.

Achieving High Stability of Organic Anodes in Diluted Electrolyte Solutions Via a Wise Anions Selection. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202311373.

Abstract
The introduction of the water-in-salt (WIS) electrolytes concept to prevent water splitting and widen the electrochemical stability window, has spurred extensive research efforts toward development of improved aqueous batteries. The successful implementation of these electrolyte solutions in many electrochemical systems shifts the focus from diluted to WIS electrolyte solutions. Considering the high costs and the tendency of these nearly saturated solutions to crystallize, this trend can be carefully re-evaluated. Herein we show that the stability of organic electrodes comprising the active material perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA), is strongly influenced by the solvation character of the anions rather than the concentration of the electrolyte solution. Even though the charging process of PTCDA involves solely insertion of cations (i.e., principal counter-ions), surprisingly, the dominant factor influencing its electrochemical performance, including long-term electrode stability, is the type of the co-ions (i.e., electrolytic anions). Using systematic electrochemical analysis combined with theoretical simulations, we show that the selection of kosmotropic anions results in fast fading of the PTCDA anodes, while a selection of chaotropic anions leads to excellent stability, even at electrolytes concentrations as low as 0.2 M. These findings provide a new conceptual approach for designing advanced electrolyte solutions for aqueous batteries.

Abstract
There has been increasing demand for high-energy density and long-cycle life rechargeable batteries to satisfy the ever-growing requirements for next-generation energy storage systems. Among all available candidates, dual-ion batteries (DIBs) have drawn tremendous attention in the past few years from both academic and industrial battery communities because of their fascinating advantages of high working voltage, excellent safety, and environmental friendliness. However, the dynamic imbalance between the electrodes and the mismatch of traditional electrolyte systems remain elusive. To fully employ the advantages of DIBs, the overall optimization of anode materials, cathode materials, and compatible electrolyte systems is urgently needed. Here, we review the development history and the reaction mechanisms involved in DIBs. Afterward, the optimization strategies toward DIB materials and electrolytes are highlighted. In addition, their energy-related applications are also provided. Lastly, the research challenges and possible development directions of DIBs are outlined.

Abstract
Sodium-based dual-ion batteries have shown great promise for large-scale energy storage applications due to their wide operating voltages, environmental friendliness, abundant sodium resources, and low cost, which are widely investigated by researchers. However, the development of high-performance anode materials is a key requirement for the realization of such electrochemical energy storage systems at the practical application level. Carbonaceous anode materials based on intercalation/deintercalation mechanisms typically exhibit low discharge capacities, while metal-based materials based on conversion or alloying reactions show unsatisfactory stability in performance. On the contrary, organic materials display high theoretical capacities due to their flexible molecular structure designability and stable cyclic performance with fast reaction kinetics based on the unique enolization reaction. Herein, we report an organic polymer anode material of polyimide (PNTO), combined with a high-concentration electrolyte; the sodium-based dual-ion battery system constructed exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance. The full battery shows an ultra-high specific discharge capacity of 293.2 mAh g-1 and can be cycled stably for 3200/5600/4100 cycles at ultra-high rates of 60/120/150 C without degradation. Furthermore, the dual-ion battery system demonstrates an extremely low self-discharge rate of 0.03% h-1 and superior fast-charging-slow-discharging performance. It is one of the best performances reported up to now for a dual-ion full battery based on an organic polymer anode. This novel battery system design strategy will facilitate the advancement of high-performance organic-based dual-ion batteries and is expected to be a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage applications.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials have the typical advantages of flexibility, low cost, abundant resources, and recyclability. However, it is challenging to simultaneously optimize the specific capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability. Radicals are inevitable intermediates that critically determine the redox activity and stability during the electrochemical reaction of organic electrodes. Herein, we select a series of aromatic imides, including pyromellitic diimide (PMDI), 1,4,5,8-naphthalenediimide (NDI), and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylicdiimide (PTCDI), which contain different extending π-conjugated aromatic rings, to study the relationship between their electrochemical performance and the size of the aromatic ring. The results show that regulating the aromatic ring size of imide molecules could finely tune the energies of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), thus optimizing the redox potential. The rate performance of PMDI, NDI, and PTCDI increases with the aromatic ring size, which is consistent with the decrease in the LUMO-HOMO gap of these imide molecules. DFT calculations and experiments reveal that the redox of imide radicals dominates the charge/discharge processes. Also, extending the aromatic rings could more effectively disperse the spin electron density and improve the stability of imide radicals, contributing to the enhanced cycling stability of these imide electrodes. Hence, aromatic ring size regulation is a simple and novel approach to simultaneously enhance the capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability of organic electrodes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
As a class of flexible and designable materials, organic electrode materials would greatly facilitate the progress of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), especially when the dissolution issue is ameliorated. Ionic liquid electrolytes (ILEs) do not merely alleviate the dissolution of organic materials but provide reliable security. Herein, Pillar[5]quinone (P5Q) as the cathode of PIBs is demonstrated for the first time, and the electrochemical performance of two common ILEs is investigated. In the 0.3 M KFSI-PY13FSI electrolyte with better conductivity, the P5Q cathode maintains a large reversible capacity of 232 mAh g-1 (450 Wh kg-1) after 100 cycles at 0.2C at 1.2-4.0 V. When a current density of 2.0C is applied, the cell retains a capacity of 101 mAh g-1 (211 Wh kg-1) after 1000 cycles and 61 mAh g-1 (125 Wh kg-1) even over 5000 cycles. This research would inspire research on organic electrodes and advance the application of PIBs.
