Abstract
Owing to high theoretical capacity, low cost and abundant availability, manganese oxides are widely viewed as promising anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Nonetheless, their practical application is significantly hindered by poor electrical conductivity, sluggish reaction kinetics and substantial volume change. In this work, an ingenious polypyrrole encapsulation followed by pyrolysis strategy is proposed to produce N-doped carbon encapsulated Mn2O3/MnO heterojunction (Mn2O3/MnO@NC) by using mechanically ground Mn3O4/C3N4 mixture as the precursor. The results show that the selection of precursor plays a pivotal role in the successful preparation of Mn2O3/MnO@NC hybrid. It is revealed that the uniform encapsulation by N-doped carbon significantly enhances the conductivity and structural stability of the final product. Concurrently, the Mn2O3/MnO heterojunction within the resultant hybrid exhibits a unique quantum-dot size, which effectively shortens ion transport pathways and exposes the active sites for lithium storage. Additionally, experimental observations and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the built-in electric fields generated at the interfaces of Mn2O3/MnO heterojunction accelerate the charge transfer and ion diffusion, thereby enhancing the electrochemical reaction kinetics. As a result, the Mn2O3/MnO@NC hybrid displays much enhanced lithium storage performance. Evidently, our work offers a good guidance for the design and synthesis of advanced transition metal oxide/carbon anodes for LIBs.

Abstract
Iron-based materials with significant physicochemical properties, including high theoretical capacity, low cost and mechanical and thermal stability, have attracted research attention as electrode materials for alkali metal-ion batteries (AMIBs). However, practical implementation of some iron-based materials is impeded by their poor conductivity, large volume change, and irreversible phase transition during electrochemical reactions. In this review we critically assess advances in the chemical synthesis and structural design, together with modification strategies, of iron-based compounds for AMIBs, to obviate these issues. We assess and categorize structural and compositional regulation and its effects on the working mechanisms and electrochemical performances of AMIBs. We establish insight into their applications and determine practical challenges in their development. We provide perspectives on future directions and likely outcomes. We conclude that for boosted electrochemical performance there is a need for better design of structures and compositions to increase ionic/electronic conductivity and the contact area between active materials and electrolytes and to obviate the large volume change and low conductivity. Findings will be of interest and benefit to researchers and manufacturers for sustainable development of advanced rechargeable ion batteries using iron-based electrode materials.

Abstract
Cost-effective and environmentally friendly Fe-based active materials offer exceptionally high energy capacity in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their multiple electron redox reactions. However, challenges, such as morphology degradation during cycling, cell pulverization, and electrochemical stability, have hindered their widespread use. Herein, we demonstrated a simple salt-assisted freeze-drying method to design a double-shelled Fe/Fe3C core tightly anchored on a porous carbon framework (FEC). The shell consists of a thin Fe3O4 layer (≈2 nm) and a carbon layer (≈10 nm) on the outermost part. Benefiting from the complex nanostructuring (porous carbon support, core-shell nanoparticles, and Fe3C incorporation), the FEC anode delivered a high discharge capacity of 947 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and a fast-rate capability of 305 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1. Notably, the FEC cell still showed 86% reversible capacity retention (794 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1) at a high cycling temperature of 80 °C, indicating superior structural integrity during cycling at extreme temperatures. Furthermore, we conducted a simple solid-state fluorination technique using the as-prepared FEC sample and excess NH4F to prepare iron fluoride-carbon composites (FeF2/C) as the positive electrode. The full cell configuration, consisting of the FEC anode and FeF2/C cathode, reached a remarkable capacity of 200 mAh g-1 at a 20 mA g-1 rate or an energy density of approximately 530 Wh kg-1. Thus, the straightforward and simple experimental design holds great potential as a revolutionary Fe-based cathodic-anodic pair candidate for high-energy LIBs.

Abstract
Transition metal nitride negative electrode materials with a high capacity and electronic conduction are still troubled by the large volume change in the discharging procedure and the low lithium ion diffusion rate. Synthesizing the composite material of F-doped Fe3N and an N-doped porous carbon framework will overcome the foregoing troubles and effectuate a preeminent electrochemical performance. In this study, we created a simple route to obtain the composite of F-doped Fe3N nanoellipsoids and a 3D N-doped porous carbon framework under non-ammonia atmosphere conditions. Integrating the F-doped Fe3N nanoellipsoids with an N-doped porous carbon framework can immensely repress the problem of volume expansion but also substantially elevate the lithium ion diffusion rate. When utilized as a negative electrode for lithium-ion batteries, this composite bespeaks a stellar operational life and rate capability, releasing a tempting capacity of 574 mAh g-1 after 550 cycles at 1.0 A g-1. The results of this study will profoundly promote the evolution and application of transition metal nitrides in batteries.

Abstract
In this study, the one-dimensional (1D) material V2Se9 was successfully synthesized using a colloidal method with VO(acac)2 and Se powder as precursors in a 1-octadecene solvent. The obtained colloidally synthesized V2Se9 (C-V2Se9) has an ultrathin nanobelt shape and a 4.5 times higher surface area compared with the bulk V2Se9, which is synthesized in a solid-state reaction as previously reported. In addition, all surfaces of C-V2Se9 are exposed to Se atoms, which is advantageous for storing Li through the conversion reaction into the Li2Se phase. Herein, the electrochemical performance of the C-V2Se9 anode material is evaluated; thus, the novelty of C-V2Se9 as a Se-rich 1D anode material is verified. The C-V2Se9 electrode exhibits a reversible capacity of 893.21 mA h g-1 and a Coulombic efficiency of 97.82% at the 100th cycle and excellent structural stability. Compared with the bulk V2Se9 electrode, the outstanding electrochemical performance of C-V2Se9 is attributed to its ultrathin nanobelt shape, high surface area, shorter Li diffusion length, and more electrochemically active sites. This work indicates the great potential of the Se-rich 1D material, C-V2Se9, as a post-transition metal dichalcogenide material for high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
Molybdenum sulfide has been widely investigated as a prospective anode material for Li+/Na+ storage because of its unique layered structure and high theoretical capacity. However, the enormous volume variation and poor conductivity limit the development of molybdenum sulfide. The rational design of a heterogeneous interface is of great importance to improve the structure stability and electrical conductivity of electrode materials. Herein, a high-temperature mixing method is implemented in the hydrothermal process to synthesize the hybrid structure of MoS2/V2O3@carbon-graphene (MoS2/V2O3@C-rGO). The MoS2/V2O3@C-rGO composites exhibit superior Li+/Na+ storage performance due to the construction of the interface between the MoS2 and V2O3 components and the introduction of carbon materials, delivering a prominent reversible capacity of 564 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 600 cycles for lithium-ion batteries and 376.3 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 450 cycles for sodium-ion batteries. Theoretical calculations confirm that the construction of the interface between the MoS2 and V2O3 components can accelerate the reaction kinetics and enhance the charge-ionic transport of molybdenum sulfide. The results illustrate that interfacial engineering may be an effective guide to obtain high-performance electrode materials for Li+/Na+ storage.

Abstract
Developing eco-friendly and low-cost advanced anode materials, such as Fe2O3 and Mn3O4, is fundamental to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The rational engineering of the microstructure of Fe2O3 and Mn3O4 to endow it with one-dimensionally and hierarchically porous architecture is a feasible way to further improve and optimize the electrochemical performance of the anode materials. Herein, we demonstrate a facile strategy to prepare nanotubular Fe2O3 and Mn3O4 as advanced anode materials for high-performance LIBs. By combining the merits of the one-dimensionally nanotubular morphology and hierarchically porous structure, limitations in the lithiation activity of Mn3O4 and Fe2O3 anode materials, such as low electrical conductivity, large volume expansion, and sluggish lithium-ion diffusion within the materials, have been effectively overcome. When used as anode materials, t-Fe2O3 and t-Mn3O4 exhibited outstanding electrochemical performances, including a high reversible discharge capacity (859.7 and 901.4 mA h g-1 for t-Fe2O3 and t-Mn3O4, respectively), excellent rate performance, and ultra-stable cycling stability. Such superior electrochemical performances proved the exceptional potential of the materials for the real-world application in LIBs.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) have received significant consideration. Because of their enormous theoretical capacity, cheap, and less toxicity. Notably, cobalt-based materials hold promises as negative electrode materials for batteries, but they suffer from less electrical conductivity and significant volume changes during operation. In order to address these challenges, sacrificial templating techniques at the nanoscale offer a potential solution for improving the electrochemical stability and rate performance of these materials. More specifically, these tactics have proven popular for designing Li-ion storages. To ascertain the impact of multiple metal ions on the electrochemical capacity, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) derived MCo2O4-MOF (M = Zn, Ni, Cu) were developed. Among these, ZnCo2O4 showed the best electrochemical performance (927.2 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 250 cycles). Furthermore, calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) revealed that ZnCo2O4 had the lowest Li+ adsorption energy, with a minimum value of -1.61 eV. Moreover, this research aims to design controllable nanostructures in order to enhance the design of transition bimetallic oxide composites for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Conversion-alloying anodes have garnered escalating attention with high theoretical capacity, however, they are seriously hindered by large volume distortion and capacity fading. To counter, structural modification needs more exploration. Herein, advantageous structure and high-performance are realized in new amorphous PbSb2 O6 (PSO-a) nanosphere via facile instantaneous precipitation induced amorphization; conversion-alloying mechanism endows it with prominent lithium-storage capability; nanostructure can shorten ion-transfer distance and accommodate volume change outside the bulk of PSO-a; and loosely-stacked isotropic amorphous structure can enhance kinetics both at electrode/electrolyte interfaces and in the bulk. Volume change is synergistically stabilized from within to outside the bulk, leading to accelerated capacity and cycling. As expected, when employed in half-cells with 1 m LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate/diethyl carbonate/dimethyl carbonate/fluoroethylene carbonate (3:3:3:1 by mass) as electrolyte, glass microfiber filter as separator, and pure lithium foil as counter electrode, it realizes eminent performance with high specific capacity of 1512.6 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and 755.1 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles at 3 A g-1 . To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first time PbSb2 O6 is utilized as high-performance anode for lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, this facile strategy provides a promising direction for high-performance amorphous anode material.

Abstract
The development of Fe2O3as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) anode is greatly restricted by its poor electronic conductivity and structural stability. To solve these issues, this work presentsin situconstruction of three-dimensional crumpled Fe2O3@N-Ti3C2Txcomposite by solvothermal-freeze-drying process, in which wormlike Fe2O3nanoparticles (10-50 nm)in situnucleated and grew on the surface of N-doped Ti3C2Txnanosheets with Fe-O-Ti bonding. As a conductive matrix, N-doping endows Ti3C2Txwith more active sites and higher electron transfer efficiency. Meanwhile, Fe-O-Ti bonding enhances the stability of the Fe2O3/N-Ti3C2Txinterface and also acts as a pathway for electron transmission. With a large specific surface area (114.72 m2g-1), the three-dimensional crumpled structure of Fe2O3@N-Ti3C2Txfacilitates the charge diffusion kinetics and enables easier exposure of the active sites. Consequently, Fe2O3@N-Ti3C2Txcomposite exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance as anode for LIBs, a reversible capacity of 870.2 mAh g-1after 500 cycles at 0.5 A g-1, 1129 mAh g-1after 280 cycles at 0.2 A g-1and 777.6 mAh g-1after 330 cycles at 1 A g-1.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) metal batteries are among the most promising devices for high energy storage applications but suffer from severe and irregular Li dendrite growth. Here, it is demonstrated that the issue can be well tackled by precisely designing the leaf-like membrane with hierarchical structure and exquisite fluidic channels. As a proof of concept, plant leaf-inspired membrane (PLIM) separators are prepared using natural attapulgite nanorods. The PLIM separators feature super-electrolyte-philicity, high thermal stability and high ion-selectivity. Thus, the separators can guide uniform and directed Li growth on the Li anode. The Li//PLIM//Li cell with limited Li anode shows high Coulombic efficiency and cycling stability over 1500 h with small overpotential and interface impedance. The Li//PLIM//S battery exhibits high initial capacity (1352 mAh g-1 ), cycling stability (0.019% capacity decay per cycle at 1 C over 500 cycles), rate performance (673 mAh g-1 at 4 C), and high operating temperature (65 °C). The separators can also effectively improve reversibility and cycling stability of the Li/Li cell and Li//LFP battery with carbonate-based electrolyte. As such, this work provides fresh insights into the design of bioinspired separators for dendrite-free metal batteries.

Abstract
In lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the stabilized capacities of transition metal compound anodes usually exhibit higher values than their theoretical values due to the interfacial charge storage, the formation of reversible electrolyte-derived surface layer, or interfacial magnetization. But the effectively utilizing the mechanisms to achieve novel anodes is rarely explored. Herein, a novel nanosized cobalt ditelluride (CoTe2 ) anodes with ultra-high capacity and long term stability is reported. Electrochemical tests show that the lithium storage capacity of the best sample reaches 1194.7 mA h g-1 after 150 cycles at 0.12 A g-1 , which increases by 57.8% compared to that after 20 cycles. In addition, the sample offers capacities of 546.6 and 492.1 mA h g-1 at 0.6 and 1.8 A g-1 , respectively. During cycles, CoTe2 particles (average size 20 nm) are gradually pulverized into the smaller nanoparticles (<3 nm), making the magnetization more fully due to the larger contact area of Co/Li2 Te interface, yielding an increased capacity. The negative capacity fading is observed, and verified by ex situ structural characterizations and in situ electrochemical measurements. The proposed strategy can be further extended to obtain other high-performance ferromagnetic metal based electrodes for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Electrocoagulation is an evolving technology for the abatement of a broad range of pollutants in wastewater owing to its flexibility, easy setup, and eco-friendly nature. Here, environment-friendly strategies for the separation, retreatment, and utilization of microplastics via electrocoagulation are investigated. The findings show that the flocs generated by forming Fe3 O4 on the surface of polyethylene (PE) particles are easily separated using a magnetic force with high efficiency of 98.4%. In the photodegradation of the obtained flocs, it is confirmed that Fe3 O4 shall be removed for the efficient generation of free radicals, leading to the highly efficient photolysis of PE. The removed Fe3 O4 can be recycled into iron-oxalate compounds, which can be used in battery applications. In addition, it is suggested that heat treatment of Fe3 O4 -PE flocs in an Ar atmosphere leads to forming Fe3 O4 core-carbon shell nanoparticles, which show excellent performance as anodes in lithium-ion batteries. The proposed composite exhibits an excellent capacity of 1123 mAh g-1 at the current density of 0.5 A g-1 after 600 cycles with a negative fading phenomenon. This study offers insight into a new paradigm of recyclable processes, from environmental issues such as microplastics to using energy materials.

Abstract
Transition metal oxalates (TMOxs, represented by iron oxalate) have attracted considerable interest in anode materials due to their excellent lithium storage properties and consistent cyclic performance. Although investigations into their electrochemical capabilities and lithium storage mechanisms are gradually deepening, the complex and varied electrochemical reactions in the initial cycle, poor inherent conductivity, and high irreversible capacity constrain their further development. Herein, to solve the above-mentioned problems, we controlled the hydrothermal synthesis conditions of iron oxalate with the assistance of organic solvents, which induced the growth of iron oxalate crystals with nano Ge metal as the core. The metal Ge space sites compounded to the stacked iron oxalate particles act as conductive nodes and metal frames, which enhances both the strength of iron oxalate samples and electronic conductivity and lithium-ion diffusion inside the electrode materials. This special structure enhances the electrochemical activity of iron oxalates and improves their lithium storage capability. The iron oxalate @ nano Ge metal composite (FCO@Ge-1) exhibits an excellent cycling performance and an appreciable reversible specific capacity (1090 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 1 A g-1). The obvious polarization and variation of the electrochemical reaction in the initial cycle of iron oxalate are reduced by compositing nano Ge metal. It is demonstrated that nano Ge metal can promote reversible capacity retention from 67.72% to 80.69% in the early cycles. The distinctive structure of iron oxalate @ nano Ge metal composite provides a fresh pathway to enhance oxalate electrochemical reversible lithium storage activity and develop high-energy electrode material by constructing composite space conductive sites.

Abstract
A pseudocapacitive electrode with a large surface area is critical for the construction of a high-performance supercapacitor. A 3D and interconnected network composed of W18 O49 nanoflowers and Ti3 C2 Tx MXene nanosheets is thus synthesized using an electrostatic attraction strategy. This composite effectively prevents the restacking of Ti3 C2 Tx MXene nanosheets and meanwhile sufficiently exposes electrochemically active sites of W18 O49 nanoflowers. Namely, this self-assembled composite owns abundant oxygen vacancies from W18 O49 nanoflowers and enough active sites from Ti3 C2 Tx MXene nanosheets. As a pseudocapacitive electrode, it shows a big specific capacitance, superior rate capability and good cycle stability. A quasi-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) is then fabricated using this pseudocapacitive anode and the cathode of activated carbon coupled with a redox electrolyte of FeBr3 . This ASC displays a cell voltage of 1.8 V, a capacitance of 101 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 , a maximum energy density of 45.4 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 900 W kg-1 , and a maximum power density of 18 000 W kg-1 at an energy density of 10.8 Wh kg-1 . The proposed strategies are promising to synthesize different pseudocapacitive electrodes as well as to fabricate high-performance supercapacitor devices.

Abstract
ZnCo2O4 has attracted extensive attention as a bimetallic transition metal oxide anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high capacity. However, there is still a long way to go to meet the increasing demand for commercial batteries due to their modest conductivity and unobtrusive cycling stability. The use of finely controlled nanostructures and combination with other anode materials are the two main ways to improve the battery performance of ZnCo2O4. Herein, ZnCo2O4 (ZCO) nanosheets were in situ grown on carbon cloth (CC) through a facile solution method. Si was coated onto the ZCO nanosheet arrays by the magnetron sputtering method (SCZO/CC) to acheive the capacity increase. A layer of C was further coated onto SZCO/CC to improve the electrical conductivity of the whole electrode and to protect the SZCO nanostructure. The obtained CSZCO/CC electrode exhibits a high reversible areal capacity of 1.16 mA h cm-2 at 5 mA cm-2 after 500 cycles. At an ultra-high current density of 10 mA cm-2, the CSZCO/CC electrode can still present a capacity of 0.38 mA h cm-2 and maintain a capacity retention of 88.4% for 2000 cycles. In situ Raman spectroscopy was used to study the relationship between the electrochemical performance and structure of the electrode materials. The carbon cloth was found to have contributed a nonnegligible part of the capacity of the electrode.

Nano-Graphite Prepared by Rapid Pulverization as Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15155148. [PMID: 35897580 PMCID: PMC9331417 DOI: 10.3390/ma15155148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Reducing the particle size of active material is an effective solution to the poor rate performance of the lithium-ion battery. In this study, we proposed a facile strategy for the preparation of nano-graphite as an anode for a lithium-ion battery via the rapid mechanical pulverization method. It is the first time that diamond particle was selected as the medium to achieve high preparation efficiency and low energy consumption. The as-prepared nano-graphite with the size from 10 to 300 nm displays an intact structure and high specific surface area. The introduced oxygen atoms increased the wettability of nano-graphite electrode and lowered its polarization. The nano-graphite prepared from three hours of grinding shows an excellent reversible capacity of 191 mAh g−1, at a rate of 5 C, after 480 cycles, along with an increase of 86% in capacity, at 1 C, in comparison with pristine graphite. The highlight of this strategy is to optimize the current preparation method. The good electrochemical performance comes from the combined effect of nano-scale particle size, large specific surface area, and continuous mesopores.
