A Review of Cobalt-Containing Nanomaterials, Carbon Nanomaterials and Their Composites in Preparation Methods and Application. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:2042. [PMID: 35745382 PMCID: PMC9231360 DOI: 10.3390/nano12122042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2022] [Revised: 06/05/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
With the increasing demand for sustainable and green energy, electric energy storage technologies have received enough attention and extensive research. Among them, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used because of their excellent performance, but in practical applications, the electrochemical performance of electrode materials is not satisfactory. Carbon-based materials with high chemical stability, strong conductivity, high specific surface area, and good capacity retention are traditional anode materials in electrochemical energy storage devices, while cobalt-based nano-materials have been widely used in LIBs anodes because of their high theoretical specific capacity. This paper gives a systematic summary of the state of research of cobalt-containing nanomaterials, carbon nanomaterials, and their composites in LIBs anodes. Moreover, the preparation methods of electrode materials and measures to improve electrochemical performance are also summarized. The electrochemical performance of anode materials can be significantly improved by compounding carbon nanomaterials with cobalt nanomaterials. Composite materials have better electrical conductivity, as well as higher cycle ability and reversibility than single materials, and the synergistic effect between them can explain this phenomenon. In addition, the electrochemical performance of materials can be significantly improved by adjusting the microstructure of materials (especially preparing them into porous structures). Among the different microscopic morphologies of materials, porous structure can provide more positions for chimerism of lithium ions, shorten the diffusion distance between electrons and ions, and thus promote the transfer of lithium ions and the diffusion of electrolytes.

Abstract
Carbon-based materials are effective carriers of metal sulfides because of their good volume stability and chemical stability, which can reduce volume expansion of materials and can also inhibit the interfacial reaction. In this study, Co1-xS incorporated into three-dimensional porous biomass carbon skeleton were synthesized by a template method. The three-dimensional porous carbon with large surface area is favorable for the electrolyte infiltration. The uniform distribution of Co1-xS nanoparticles results in a high reversible electrochemical reaction. The well-designed Co1-xS/three-dimensional porous carbon structure exhibits outstanding performance when used as an anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The results show that the transition mental sulfide/three-dimensional porous carbon structure has broad application prospects in SIBs.

Abstract
In this work, a comprehensive investigation of the composite Ag@AgCl/ZnCo2O4 microspheres photocatalyst, prepared by a facile two-step method, is presented, and using complementary characterization tools such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). Results show that the composite Ag@AgCl/ZnCo2O4 photocatalyst has good microspheres morphology and high crystalline and its absorption intensity in the whole spectrum range is higher than that of pure ZnCo2O4. It is observed that the specific surface area of the composite Ag@AgCl/ZnCo2O4 photocatalyst and the adsorption efficiency of rhodamine B (RhB) increase as a result of deposition of Ag@AgCl. In the Ag@AgCl/ZnCo2O4 degradation system of RhB, the photocatalytic degradation rate of 0.2Ag@AgCl/ZnCo2O4 becomes 99.4% within 120 min, and RhB is almost completely degraded. The reaction rate constant of composite 0.2Ag@AgCl/ZnCo2O4 photocatalyst is found to be 0.01063 min-1, which is 1.6 times that of Ag@AgCl and 10 times of the minimum value of ZnCo2O4. In addition, the radical capture experiment indicates that, in the reaction system of Ag@AgCl/ZnCo2O4, the main oxidative species of Ag@AgCl/ZnCo2O4 photocatalyst are superoxide anion (O·- 2- 2) and hole (h+) and not hydroxyl radical (·OH). Based on the results, a Z-scheme plasmon photocatalytic mechanism of Ag@AgCl/ZnCo2O4 composite system is proposed, to elucidate the RhB degradation.

Abstract
Hierarchical porous MnCo2O4 yolk-shell microspheres have been synthesized via a facile chemical precipitation method with subsequent calcination treatment. The hierarchical porous MnCo2O4 yolk-shell microspheres as secondary nanomaterials can improve the effective contact area between the MnCo2O4 electrode and electrolyte, accommodate the volume variations during cycling, and shorten the Li+ diffusion path in the nanoparticles. Benefiting from their particular structure and interconnected pores, as anodes for lithium ion batteries, the hierarchical porous MnCo2O4 yolk-shell microspheres show high reversible lithium storage capacity, excellent cycling performance and enhanced rate capability. More importantly, they also exhibit long-life and high-rate lithium storage as high as 691.3 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles even at 1 C.

Abstract
The paper reports a novel flexible full-cell lithium ion battery (LIB) through a simple plastic package method. Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are synthesized by electrospinning technology and the subsequent carbonation process. The CNFs with three-dimensional interconnected fibrous nanostructure exhibit a stable reversible capacity of 412 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles in the half-cell testing. A full cell is assembled by using CNF anode and commercial LiCoO2 cathode, and it displays good flexibility and lighting LED ability. The aggregate thickness of the constructed full-cell LIB is approximately 500 μm, consisting of a CNFs/Cu film, a separator, a LiCoO2/Al film, electrolyte, and two polyvinyl chloride (PVC) films. The structure, morphology, and the electrochemical performances of electrospun CNFs and LiCoO2 electrodes are analyzed in details.

Abstract
In this study, MoS2 nanosheets are vertically grown on the inside and outside surfaces of the carbonized corn stalks (CCS) by a simple hydrothermal reaction. The vertically grown structure can not only improve the transmission rate of Li+ and electrons but also avoid the agglomeration of the nanosheets. Meanwhile, a new approach of biomass source application is presented. We use CCS instead of graphite powders, which can not only avoid the exploitation of graphite resources, but also be used as a matrix for MoS2 growth to prevent the electrode from being further decomposed during long cycles and at high current densities. Meanwhile, lithium-ion batteries show remarkable electrochemical performance. They demonstrate a high specific capacity of 1409.5 mA g-1 at 100 mA g-1 in the initial cycle. After 250 cycles, the discharge capacity is still as high as 1230.9 mAh g-1. Even at 4000 mA g-1, they show a high specific capacity of 777.7 mAh g-1. Furthermore, the MoS2/CCS electrodes show long cycle life, and the specific capacity is still up to ∼500 mAh g-1 at 5000 mA g-1 after 1000 cycles.

Abstract
The application of hematite in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been severely limited because of its poor cycling stability and rate performance. To solve this problem, hematite nanoparticles with oxygen vacancies have been rationally designed by a facile sol-gel method and a sequential carbon-thermic reduction process. Thanks to the existence of oxygen vacancies, the electrochemical performance of the as-obtained hematite nanoparticles is greatly enhancing. When used as the anode material in LIBs, it can deliver a reversible capacity of 1252 mAh g-1 at 2 C after 400 cycles. Meanwhile, the as-obtained hematite nanoparticles also exhibit excellent rate performance as compared to its counterparts. This method not only provides a new approach for the development of hematite with enhanced electrochemical performance but also sheds new light on the synthesis of other kinds of metal oxides with oxygen vacancies.

Abstract
Multishelled hollow structured transition metal oxides (TMOs) are highly potential materials for high energy density energy storage due to their high volumetric energy density, reduced aggregation of nanosized subunits, and excellent capacity and durability. However, traditional synthetic methods of TMOs generally require complicated steps and lack compositional/morphological adjustability. Herein, a general and straightforward strategy is developed to synthesize multishelled porous hollow microspheres, which is constituted of nanosize primary TMO particles, using metal acetate polysaccharide microspheres as the precursor. This universal method can be applied to design TMOs' hollow spheres with tunable shell numbers and composition. The hierarchical porous quadruple-shelled hollow microspheres with nanosized Ni-Co-Mn oxide demonstrate an increased number of active sites, boosted rate capability, enhanced volumetric energy density, and showed great tolerance toward volume expansion upon cycling, thus exhibiting excellent Li+ storage capability with high specific capacity (1470 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 and 1073.6 mAh g-1 at 5.0 A g-1) and excellent cycle retention (1097 mAh g-1 after 250 cycles at 0.2 A g-1) among TMO anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
When testing the electrochemical performance of metal oxide anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), binder played important role on the electrochemical performance. Which binder was more suitable for preparing transition metal oxides anodes of LIBs has not been systematically researched. Herein, five different binders such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) HSV900, PVDF 301F, PVDF Solvay5130, the mixture of styrene butadiene rubber and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SBR+CMC), and polyacrylonitrile (LA133) were studied to make anode electrodes (compared to the full battery). The electrochemical tests show that using SBR+CMC and LA133 binder which use water as solution were significantly better than PVDF. The SBR+CMC binder remarkably improve the bonding capacity, cycle stability, and rate performance of battery anode, and the capacity retention was about 87% after 50th cycle relative to the second cycle. SBR+CMC binder was more suitable for making transition metal oxides anodes of LIBs.

Abstract
We present the formation of a carbon-coated honeycomb ternary Ni-Mn-Co-O inverse opal as a conversion mode anode material for Li-ion battery applications. In order to obtain high capacity via conversion mode reactions, a single phase crystalline honeycombed IO structure of Ni-Mn-Co-O material was first formed. This Ni-Mn-Co-O IO converts via reversible redox reactions and Li2O formation to a 3D structured matrix assembly of nanoparticles of three (MnO, CoO and NiO) oxides, that facilitates efficient reactions with Li. A carbon coating maintains the structure without clogging the open-worked IO pore morphology for electrolyte penetration and mass transport of products during cycling. The highly porous IO was compared in a Li-ion half-cell to nanoparticles of the same material and showed significant improvement in specific capacity and capacity retention. Further optimization of the system was investigated by incorporating a vinylene carbonate additive into the electrolyte solution which boosted performance, offering promising high-rate performance and good capacity retention over extended cycling. The analysis confirms the possibility of creating a ternary transition metal oxide material with binder free accessible open-worked structure to allow three conversion mode oxides to efficiently cycle as an anode material for Li-ion battery applications.

Abstract
MnS has been attracting more and more attentions in the fields of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high energy density and low voltage potential. In this paper, we present a simple method for the preparation of urchin-like γ-MnS microstructures using L-cysteine and MnCl2 · 4H2O as the starting materials. The urchin-like γ-MnS microstructures exhibit excellent cycling stability (823.4 mA h g-1 at a current density of 500 mA g-1, after 1000 cycles). And the discharge voltage is about 0.75 V, making it a good candidate for the application as the anode material in LIBs. SEM, TEM, and XRD were employed to inspect the changes of the active materials during the electrochemical process, which clearly indicate that the structural pulverization and reformation of the γ-MnS microstructures play important roles for the maintenance of the electrochemical performance during the charge/discharge process.
