Abstract
Si NWs@C core/shell anodes for lithium-ion batteries were synthesized via a one-step environmental-pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process utilizing nano-silicon and methane as raw materials. In this structure, the silicon nanowire core is obtained by controlling the temperature above 900 °C to catalyze the growth of nano-silicon particles coated with a natural oxide layer according to the oxide-assisted growth (OAG) mechanism, while the carbon as a protective coating shell is derived from methane cracking. In contrast to the conventional nanowire catalytic approach, this method obviates the addition of metal catalysts while ensuring a straightforward and scalable process. This Si NWs@C electrode displayed excellent electrochemical performance, exhibiting high reversible capacity (745.8 mA h g-1) and excellent cycling stability (91.3% after 100 cycles at 0.5 A g-1).

RSC Adv 2024; 14:13277-13285. [PMID: 38660525 PMCID: PMC11040431 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra01560f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
With the continuous expansion of the lithium-ion battery market, addressing the critical issues of stable cycling and low-temperature operation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has become an urgent necessity. The high anisotropy and poor kinetics of pristine graphite in LIBs contribute to the formation of precipitated lithium dendrites, especially during rapid charging or low-temperature operation. In this study, we design a graphite coated with amorphous carbon (GC) through the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method. The coated carbon layer at the graphite interface exhibits enhanced reaction kinetics and expanded lithium-ion diffusion pathways, thereby reduction in polarization effectively alleviates the risk of lithium precipitation during rapid charging and low-temperature operation. The pouch cell incorporating GC‖LiCoO2 exhibits exceptional durability, retaining 87% of its capacity even after 1200 cycles at a high charge/discharge rate of 5C/5C. Remarkably, at -20 °C, the GC-2 maintains a specific capacity of 163 mA h g-1 at 0.5C, higher than that of pristine graphite (65 mA h g-1). Even at -40 °C, the GC-2‖LiCoO2 pouch cell still shows excellent capacity retention. This design realizes the practical application of graphite anode in extreme environments, and have a promising prospect of application.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework materials can be converted into carbon-based nanoporous materials by pyrolysis, which have a wide range of applications in energy storage. Here, we design special interface engineering to combine the carbon skeleton and nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with the transition metal compounds (TMCs) well, which mitigates the bulk effect of the TMCs and improves the conductivity of the electrodes. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 is used as a precursor to form a carbon skeleton and a large number of nitrogen-doped CNTs by pyrolysis followed by the in situ formation of Co3O4 and CoS2, and finally, Co3O4@CNTs and CoS2@CNTs are synthesized. The obtained anode electrodes exhibit a long cycle life and high-rate properties. In lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), Co3O4@CNTs have a high capacity of 581 mAh g-1 at a high current of 5 A g-1, and their reversible capacity is still 1037.6 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 1 A g-1. In sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), CoS2@CNTs have a capacity of 859.9 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and can be retained at 801.2 mAh g-1 after 50 cycles. The unique interface engineering and excellent electrochemical properties make them ideal anode materials for high-rate, long-life LIBs and SIBs.

Improving Natural Microcrystalline Graphite Performances by a Dual Modification Strategy toward Practical Application of Lithium Ion Batteries.

Abstract
Microcrystalline graphite (MG), as a kind of natural graphite (NG), holds great potential for use as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to low raw material cost, good electrolyte compatibility, and relatively long cycle life. Nevertheless, the relatively low reversible capacity and poor initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of the MG anode largely limit its practical application in LIBs. In order to improve the lithium storage capacity of MG, three kinds of oxidant intercalators are applied to treat the original MG, and the as-obtained MG is further modified by a thin carbon layer. The results indicate that using H2SO4-C2H2O4 as oxidant intercalators and subsequent carbon coating layer modification are the optimum techniques, and they can increase the interlayer distance, introduce defects to decrease the volume expansion, and generate channels for fast Li+ diffusion. Meanwhile, the carbon coating layer can reduce the specific surface area of graphite and greatly improve the ICE and cycling performance. Especially, the OEMGC-2 anodes prepared by the dual modification strategies represent a high reversible capacity of 349.4 mA h g-1 at 0.2C with a satisfactory ICE of 90.2%, indicating that the MG can also be considered as a high performance and low-cost anode material of LIBs.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have drawn increasing attention, due to their appealing potential for bridging the performance gap between lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Especially, dual-carbon lithium-ion capacitors (DC-LICs) are even more attractive because of the low cost, high conductivity, and tunable nanostructure/surface chemistry/composition, as well as excellent chemical/electrochemical stability of carbon materials. Based on the well-matched capacity and rate between the cathode and anode, DC-LICs show superior electrochemical performances over traditional LICs and are considered to be one of the most promising alternatives to the current energy storage devices. In particular, the mismatch between the cathode and anode could be further suppressed by applying carbon nanomaterials. Although great progresses of DC-LICs have been achieved, a comprehensive review about the advances of electrode materials is still absent. Herein, in this review, the progresses of traditional and nanosized carbons as cathode/anode materials for DC-LICs are systematically summarized, with an emphasis on their synthesis, structure, morphology, and electrochemical performances. Furthermore, an outlook is tentatively presented, aiming to develop advanced DC-LICs for commercial applications.
