Lee M, Paek SM. Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Reduced Graphene Oxide with Hollow Nanostructure for Application to Lithium-Ion Batteries. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:1507. [PMID: 35564216 PMCID: PMC9103021 DOI: 10.3390/nano12091507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
In this study, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with a hollow nanostructure was successfully synthesized by layer-by-layer self-assembly using electrostatic interactions and van der Waals forces between building blocks, and its lithium storage characteristics were investigated. After 800 cycles at a current density of 1 A/g, the microwave-irradiated RGO hollow spheres (MRGO-HS) maintained a capacity of 626 mA h/g. In addition, when the charge/discharge capacity was measured stepwise in the current density range of 0.1-2 A/g, the discharge capacity of the RGO rapidly decreased to 156 mA h/g even at the current density of 2 A/g, whereas MRGO-HS provided a capacity of 252 mA h/g. Even after the current density was restored at a current density of 0.1 A/g, the MRGO-HS capacity was maintained to be 827 mA h/g at the 100th cycle, which is close to the original reversible capacity. Thus, MRGO-HS provides a higher capacity and better rate capability than those of traditionally synthesized RGO.

Synergistic effects of flake-like ZnO/SnFe 2O 4/nitrogen-doped carbon composites on structural stability and electrochemical behavior for lithium-ion batteries. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 594:173-185. [PMID: 33756363 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.02.109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2020] [Revised: 02/10/2021] [Accepted: 02/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
In order to improve the electrochemical performance and relieve volume expansion of pure SnFe2O4 anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), we synthesized a novel ZnO/SnFe2O4/nitrogen-doped carbon composites (ZSFO/NC) with flake-like polyhedron morphology by using ZIF-8 as a sacrificial template. Remarkably, it exhibited an initial charge/discharge capacities of 1078.3/1507.5 mAh g-1 with a high initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) of 71.2%, and maintained a steady charge/discharge capacities of 1495.7/1511.8 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 300 cycles. The excellent rate performance of 435.6 mAh g-1 at a higher current density of 10.0 A g-1 and superior reversible capacity of 532.3/536.2 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 2.0 A g-1 were obtained. It revealed that the nitrogen-doped carbon matrix and peculiar structure of ZSFO/NC not only effectively buffered large volume expansion upon (de)lithiation through the synergistic interface action between ZnO, SnFe2O4 and NC, but also improved capacity of the composite by large contribution of surface pseudo-capacitance. The excellent charge-discharge performance showed that ZSFO/NC composite has a great potential for LIBs due to the synergistic effect of the multi-components.

Abstract
A semisolid gel material is a gift of serendipity via various chemical interactions, and metal incorporation (metallogels) imparts diverse functional properties. In this work, we have synthesized four metallogels from tetrapodal and hexapodal carboxylic acid/amide-based low-molecular-weight gelators with Ni(II) and Cu(II) salts. These metallogels can be tuned to be a low-temperature precursor of porous spinel oxides. These xerogels exhibit impressive water soluble dye and carbon dioxide adsorption, which coupled with the tunability and facile synthesis of porous spinel oxides underscores their potential in environmental remediation and energy applications.

Abstract
A series of one-dimensional CuFe2O4 (CFO) nano/submicron wires possessing different diameters, crystal phases, and crystal sizes have been successfully generated using a facile template-assisted coprecipitation reaction at room temperature, followed by a short postannealing process. The diameter and crystal structure of the resulting CuFe2O4 (CFO) wires were judiciously tuned by varying the pore size of the template and the postannealing temperature, respectively. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were incorporated to generate CFO-CNT binder-free anodes, and multiple characterization techniques were employed with the goal of delineating the relationships between electrochemical behavior and the properties of both the CFO wires (crystal phase, wire diameter, crystal size) and the electrode architecture (binder-free vs conventionally prepared approaches). The study reveals several notable findings. First, the crystal phase (cubic or tetragonal) did not influence the electrochemical behavior in this CFO system. Second, regarding crystallite size and wire diameter, CFO wires with larger crystallite sizes exhibit improved cycling stability, whereas wires possessing smaller diameters exhibit higher capacities. Finally, the electrochemical behavior is strongly influenced by the electrode architecture, with CFO-CNT binder-free electrodes demonstrating significantly higher capacities and cycling stability compared to conventionally prepared coatings. The mechanism(s) associated with the high capacities under low current density but limited electrochemical reversibility of CFO electrodes under high current density were probed via X-ray absorption spectroscopy mapping with submicron spatial resolution for the first time. Results suggest that the capacity of the binder-free electrodes under high rate is limited by the irreversible formation of Cu0, as well as limited reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+, not Fe0. The results (1) shed fundamental insight into the reversibility of CuFe2O4 materials cycled at high current density and (2) demonstrate that a synergistic effort to control both active material morphology and electrode architecture is an effective strategy for optimizing electrochemical behavior.
