Spinel cobalt-based binary metal oxides as emerging materials for energy harvesting devices: synthesis, characterization and synchrotron radiation-enabled investigation. RSC Adv 2024; 14:21180-21189. [PMID: 38966808 PMCID: PMC11223668 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03462g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024] Open
Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of spinel cobalt-based metal oxides (MCo2O4) with varying 3d-transition metal ions (Ni, Fe, Cu, and Zn) were explored using a hydrothermal process (140 °C for two hours) to be used as alternative counter electrodes for Pt-free dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed distinct morphologies for each metal oxide, such as NiCo2O4 nanosheets, Cu Co2O4 nanoleaves, Fe Co2O4 diamond-like, and Zn Co2O4 hexagonal-like structures. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the cubic spinel structure for the prepared MCo2O4 films. The functional groups of MCo2O4 materials were recognized in metal oxides throughout Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. The local structure analysis using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) at Fe and Co K-edge identified octahedral (Oh) Co3+ and tetrahedral (Td) Co2+ coordination, with Zn2+ and Cu2+ favoring Td sites, while Ni3+ and Fe3+ preferred Oh active sites. Further investigations utilizing the Fourier transformation (FT) analysis showed comparable coordination numbers and interatomic distances ranked as Co-Cu > Co-Fe > Zn-Co > Co-Ni. Furthermore, the utilization of MCo2O4 thin films as counter electrodes in DSSC fabrication showed promising results. Notably, solar cells based on CuCo2O4 and ZnCo2O4 counter electrodes showed 1.9% and 1.13% power conversion efficiency, respectively. These findings indicate the potential of employing these binary metal oxides for efficient and cost-effective photovoltaic device production.

Abstract
Nickel nitride (Ni3N) is a promising electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) owing to its excellent metallic features and has been demonstrated to exhibit considerable activity for water oxidation. However, its undesirable characteristics as an HER electrocatalyst due to its poor unfavourable d-band energy level significantly limit its water dissociation kinetics. Herein, the HER electrocatalytic activity of Ni3N was prominently enhanced via the simultaneous incorporation of bi-cations (vanadium (V) and iron (Fe), denoted as V-Fe-Ni3N). The optimized V-Fe-Ni3N displays impressive performance with an overpotential of 69 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and good stability in 1.0 M KOH, which is remarkably better than pristine Ni3N, V-doped Ni3N, and Fe-doped Ni3N and considerably closer to a commercial Pt/C catalyst. Based on density functional theory (DFT) studies, V and Fe atoms not only serve as active sites for promoting water dissociation kinetics but also tune the electronic structure of Ni3N to achieve optimized hydrogen adsorption capabilities. This work presents an inclusive understanding of the rational designing of high-performance transition metal nitride-based electrocatalysts for hydrogen production. Its electrocatalytic performance can be significantly enhanced by doping transition metal cations.

Abstract
The poor electronic conductivity of MnO x severely limits the practical application as high-performance electrode materials for faradaic pseudocapacitors. Herein, a facile vapor reduction method is demonstrated for the treatment of MnO x with hydrazine hydrate (HH) to improve the electronic conductivity. The HH vapor treatment without annealing process not only introduces oxygen vacancies to form oxygen-deficient MnO x, but also leads to obvious structural transformation from highly aggregated and poorly crystallized MnO x nanorobs and nanoparticles into uniformly orientated and highly crystallized MnO x nanosheets via the Ostwald ripening process. Compared with pristine MnO x on carbon fiber (CF-MnO x), the reduced CF-MnO x exhibits a highly improved specific capacitance of 1130 mF cm-1 (434 F g-1) with excellent rate capability and cycling stability. Our results have shown that the moderate concentration of oxygen vacancies and highly uniform orientation of reduced MnO x endow the electrode with a fast electron and ion transport, respectively. Moreover, a flexible fiber asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device with high-energy and power density based on the as-prepared reduced CF-MnO x as a cathode and electrochemically activated graphene oxide on carbon fiber (CF-ArGO) as an anode is fabricated. The MnO x//ArGO ASC device delivers a high volumetric capacitance of 1.9 F cm-3, a maximum energy density of 1.06 mWh cm-3, and a volumetric power density of 371.3 mW cm-3. The present work opens a new way for oxygen vacancy introduction and structural modification of metal oxide as high-performance materials for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Rational design and delicate control on the textural properties of metal-oxide materials for diverse structure-dependent applications still remain formidable challenges. Here, we present an eco-friendly and facile approach to smartly fabricate three-dimensional (3D) layer-by-layer manganese oxide (MnO x) hierarchical mesoporous microcuboids from a Mn-MOF-74-based template, using a one-step solution-phase reaction scheme at room temperature. Through the controlled exchange of metal-organic framework (MOF) ligand with OH- in alkaline aqueous solution and in situ oxidation of manganese hydroxide intermediate, the Mn-MOF-74 template/precursor was readily converted to Mn3O4 or δ-MnO2 counterpart consisting of primary nanoparticle and nanosheet building blocks, respectively, with well-retained morphology. By X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution TEM, N2 adsorption-desorption analysis and other techniques, their crystal structure, detailed morphology, and microstructure features were unambiguously revealed. Specifically, their electrochemical Li-ion insertion/extraction properties were well evaluated, and it turns out that these unique 3D microcuboids could achieve a sustained superior lithium-storage performance especially at high rates benefited from the well-orchestrated structural characteristics (Mn3O4 microcuboids: 890.7, 767.4, 560.1, and 437.1 mAh g-1 after 400 cycles at 0.2, 0.5, 1, and 2 A g-1, respectively; δ-MnO2 microcuboids: 991.5, 660.8, 504.4, and 362.1 mAh g-1 after 400 cycles at 0.2, 0.5, 1, and 2 A g-1, respectively). To our knowledge, this is the most durable high-rate capability as well as the highest reversible capacity ever reported for pure MnO x anodes, which even surpass most of their hybrids. This facile, green, and economical strategy renews the traditional MOF-derived synthesis for highly tailorable functional materials and opens up new opportunities for metal-oxide electrodes with high performance.

Abstract
The commercial applications of Mn3O4 in lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are greatly restricted because of the low electrical conductivity and poor cycling stability at high current density. To overcome these drawbacks, mesoporous Mn3O4@C networks were designed and synthesized via an improved bake-in-salt method using NaCl as the assistant salt, and without the protection of inert gas. The added NaCl plays a versatile role during the synthetic process, including the heat conducting medium, removable hard template and protective layer. Because of the homogeneous distribution of Mn3O4 nanoparticles within the carbon matrix, the as-prepared Mn3O4@C networks show excellent cycling stability in LIBs. After cycling for 950 times at a current density of 1 A g-1, the discharge capacity of the as-prepared Mn3O4@C networks is determined to be 754.4 mA h g-1, showing superior cycling stability as compared to its counterparts. The valuable and promising method, simple synthetic procedure and excellent cycling stability of the as-prepared Mn3O4@C networks makes it a promising candidate as the potential anode material for LIBs.

Abstract
In this work, highly conductive vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF) was applied as an electrically conductive agent for facile synthesis of a nanoparticulate Mn3O4/VGCF composite material. This material exhibits super high specific capacity and excellent rate capability as a conversion-anode for lithium ion batteries. Rate performance test result demonstrates that at the discharge/charge current density of 0.2 A g(-1) a reversible capacity of ca. 950 mAh g(-1) is delivered, and when the current rate is increased to a high current density of 5 A g(-1), a reversible capacity of ca. 390 mAh g(-1) is retained. Cyclic performance examination conducted at the current density of 0.5 A g(-1) reveals that in the initial 20 cycles the reversible capacity decreases gradually from 855 to 747 mAh g(-1). However, since then, it increases gradually with cycle number increasing, and after 200 cycles an extraordinarily high reversible capacity of 1391 mAh g(-1) is achieved.

Abstract
Well shaped single crystalline Mn3O4 nano-octahedra with exposed highly active {011} facets at different particle sizes have been synthesized and used as anode materials for lithium ion batteries. The electrochemical results show that the smallest sized Mn3O4 nano-octahedra show the best cycling performance with a high initial charge capacity of 907 mA h g(-1) and a 50th charge capacity of 500 mA h g(-1) at a current density of 50 mA g(-1) and the best rate capability with a charge capacity of 350 mA h g(-1) when cycled at 500 mA g(-1). In particular, the nano-octahedra samples demonstrate a much better electrochemical performance in comparison with irregular shaped Mn3O4 nanoparticles. The best electrochemical properties of the smallest Mn3O4 nano-octahedra are ascribed to the lower charge transfer resistance due to the exposed highly active {011} facets, which can facilitate the conversion reaction of Mn3O4 and Li owing to the alternating Mn and O atom layers, resulting in easy formation and decomposition of the amorphous Li2O and the multi-electron reaction. On the other hand, the best electrochemical properties of the smallest Mn3O4 nano-octahedra can also be attributed to the smallest size resulting in the highest specific surface area, which provides maximum contact with the electrolyte and facilitates the rapid Li-ion diffusion at the electrode/electrolyte interface and fast lithium-ion transportation within the particles. The synergy of the exposed {011} facets and the smallest size (and/or the highest surface area) led to the best performance for the Mn3O4 nano-octahedra. Furthermore, HRTEM observations verify the oxidation of MnO to Mn3O4 during the charging process and confirm that the Mn3O4 octahedral structure can still be partly maintained after 50 discharge-charge cycles. The high Li-ion storage capacity and excellent cycling performance suggest that Mn3O4 nano-octahedra with exposed highly active {011} facets could be excellent anode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.
