J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 671:385-393. [PMID: 38815374 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
The sodium superionic conductor Na4MnCr(PO4)3 gains increasing attention owing to its three-dimensional structure and the three-electron reaction. However, rapid structure degradation during cycling is the major challenge for its practical application. Herein, Ti4+ is utilized to replace a portion of Mn2+ in Na4MnCr(PO4)3. The low redox voltage and d0 electronic configuration of the Ti4+ ions are helpful to suppress the structure alteration and improve electronic conduction. Consequently, the as-prepared Na3.4Mn0.7Ti0.3Cr(PO4)3/C cathode exhibits a remarkable good 91.0% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 10C rate, with exceptional rate capacities of 99.5 mAh g-1 and 81.0 mAh g-1 at 5C and 10C rate, respectively. Furthermore, based on ≈2.86-electron reactions involving Mn2+/Mn3+ (3.5 V), Mn3+/Mn4+ (4.1 V), Cr3+/Cr4+ (4.3 V), and Ti3+/Ti4+ (2.1 V), the material can provide an energy density of approximately 541.6 Wh kg-1, slightly surpassing that of Na4MnCr(PO4)3. Ex-situ XRD investigation further elucidates that throughout the entire charge-discharge process, the Ti-substituted material experiences highly reversible solid-solution and two-phase reactions. Additionally, Ti substitution can greatly promote the interfacial charge transfer of the material and suppress the decomposition of the electrolyte during cycling. This work might open a new insight for designing sodium-ion battery cathode materials with good cycling stability and high energy density.

N-doped 3D carbon encapsulating nickel selenide nanoarchitecture with cation defect engineering: An ultrafast and long-life anode for sodium-ion batteries. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 670:191-203.

Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) hold great potential for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to their multielectron conversion reactions, yet face challenges of poor intrinsic conductivity, sluggish diffusion kinetics, severe phase transitions, and structural collapse during cycling. Herein, a self-templating strategy is proposed for the synthesis of a class of metal cobalt-doped NiSe nanoparticles confined within three-dimensional (3D) N-doped macroporous carbon matrix nanohybrids (Co-NiSe/NMC). The cation defect engineering within the developed Co-NiSe and 3D N-doped carbon plays a crucial role in enhancing intrinsic conductivity, reinforcing structural stability, and reducing the barrier to sodium ion diffusion, which are verified by a series of electrochemical kinetic analyses and density functional theory calculations. Significantly, such cation defect engineering not only reduces overpotential but also accelerates conversion reaction kinetics, ensuring both exceptional high-rate capability and extended durability. Consequently, the optimally engineered Co-NiSe/NMC demonstrates a remarkable rate performance, delivering 390 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1. Moreover, it exhibits an unprecedented lifespan, maintaining a remarkable capacity of 403 mAh g-1 after 1400 cycles and 318 mAh g-1 after 4000 cycles, even at high rates of 1.0 and 2.0 A g-1, respectively. This work marks a substantial advancement in achieving both high performance and prolonged cycle life in sodium-ion batteries.

Stable anode/separator interface enabled by graft modification of polypropylene separator via electron beam irradiation technique toward high-performance sodium metal batteries. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 670:246-257.

Abstract
Sodium metal batteries (SMBs) are considered as strong alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), due to the inherent merits of sodium metal anodes (SMAs) including low redox potential (-2.71 V vs. SHE), high theoretical capacity (1166 mAh g-1), and abundant resources. However, the uncontrollable Na dendrite growth has significantly impeded the practical deployment of SMBs. Separator modification has emerged as an effective strategy for substantially enhancing the performance of SMAs. Herein, for the first time, we present the successful grafting polyacrylic acid (PAA) onto polypropylene (PP) separators (denoted as PP-g-PAA) using highly efficient electron beam (EB) irradiation to improve the cyclability of SMAs. The polar carboxyl groups of PAA can facilitate the electrolyte wetting and provide ample mechanical strength to resist dendrite penetration. Consequently, the regulation of Na+ ion flux enables uniform Na+ deposition with dendrite-free morphology, facilitated by the favorable anode/separator interface. The PP-g-PAA separator significantly enhances the cyclability of fabricated cells. Notably, the lifespan of Na||Na symmetric cells can be extended up to 5519 h at 1 mA cm-2 and 1 mAh cm-2. The stable design of the anode/separator interface achieved through polyolefin separator modification presented in this study holds promise for the further advancement of next-generation advanced battery systems.

Abstract
The escalating global demand for clean energy has spurred substantial interest in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) as a promising solution for large-scale energy storage systems. However, the insufficient reaction kinetics and considerable volume changes inherent to anode materials present significant hurdles to enhancing the electrochemical performance of SIBs. In this study, hierarchical MoS2/WS2 heterostructures were constructed into dual carbon layers (HC@MoS2/WS2@NC) and assessed their suitability as anodes for SIBs. The internal hard carbon core (HC) and outer nitrogen-doped carbon shell (NC) effectively anchor MoS2/WS2, thereby significantly improving its structural stability. Moreover, the conductive carbon components expedite electron transport during charge-discharge processes. Critically, the intelligently engineered interface between MoS2 and WS2 modulates the interfacial energy barrier and electric field distribution, promoting faster ion transport rates. Capitalizing on these advantageous features, the HC@MoS2/WS2@NC nanocomposite exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance when utilized as an anode in SIBs. Specifically, it delivers a high capacity of 415 mAh/g at a current density of 0.2 A/g after 100 cycles. At a larger current density of 2 A/g, it maintains a commendable capacity of 333 mAh/g even after 1000 cycles. Additionally, when integrated into a full battery configuration with a Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode, the Na3V2(PO4)3//HC@MoS2/WS2@NC full cell delivers a high capacity of 120 mAh/g after 300 cycles at 1 A/g. This work emphasizes the substantial improvement in battery performance that can be attained through the implementation of dual carbon confinement, offering a constructive approach to guide the design and development of next-generation anode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
Metal ions, including biologically prevalent sodium ions, can modulate electrostatic interactions frequently involved in the stability of condensed compartments in cells. Quantitative characterization of heterogeneous ion dynamics inside biomolecular condensates demands new experimental approaches. Here we develop a 23Na NMR relaxation-based integrative approach to probe dynamics of sodium ions inside agarose gels as a model system. We exploit the electric quadrupole moment of spin-3/2 23Na nuclei and, through combination of single-quantum and triple-quantum-filtered 23Na NMR relaxation methods, disentangle the relaxation contribution of different populations of sodium ions inside gels. Three populations of sodium ions are identified: a population with bi-exponential relaxation representing ions within the slow motion regime and two populations with mono-exponential relaxation but at different rates. Our study demonstrates the dynamical heterogeneity of sodium ions inside agarose gels and presents a new experimental approach for monitoring dynamics of sodium and other spin-3/2 ions (e.g. chloride) in condensed environments.

Abstract
Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanopowder is spin-coated onto both sides of commercial polypropene separator to create artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) and artificial cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) in potassium metal batteries (KMBs). This significantly enhances the stability, including of KMBs with Prussian Blue (PB) cathodes. For example, symmetric cells are stable after 1,000 cycles at 0.5 mA/cm2-0.5 mAh/cm2 and 3.0 mA/cm2-0.5 mAh/cm2. Alumina modified separators promote electrolyte wetting and increase ionic conductivity (0.59 vs. 0.2 mS/cm) and transference number (0.81 vs. 0.23). Cryo-stage focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) analysis of cycled modified anode demonstrates dense and planar electrodeposits, versus unmodified baseline consisting of metal filaments (dendrites) interspersed with pores and SEI. Alumina-modified CEI also suppresses elemental Fe crossover and reduces cathode cracking. Mesoscale modeling of metal - SEI interactions captures crucial role of intrinsic heterogeneities, illustrating how artificial SEI affects reaction current distribution, conductivity and morphological stability.

Abstract
Transition metal sulfides are investigation hotspots of anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their structural diversity and high storage capacity. However, they are still plagued by inevitable volume expansion during sodiation/desodiation and an unclear energy storage mechanism. Herein, a one-step sulfidation-carbonization strategy is proposed for in situ confined growth of Cu1.96S nanoparticles in nitrogen-doped carbon (Cu1.96S@NC) using octahedral metal-organic framework (Cu-BTC) as a precursor and investigate the driving effect of Cu current collector on its sodium storage. The generation of S─C bonds in Cu1.96S@NC avoids the volume change and structural collapse of Cu1.96S nanoparticles during the cycling process and improves the adsorption and transport capacity of the material for Na+. More exciting, the Cu species in the Cu current collector are self-induced forming Cu2S quantum dots to enter the original anode material during the initial few charging and discharging cycles, which unique small-size effect and abundant edge-active sites enhance the energy storage capacity of Cu1.96S. Thus, the Cu1.96S@NC exhibits a superior first discharge capacity of 608.56 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 with an initial Coulomb efficiency (ICE) of 75.4%, as well as provides excellent rate performance and long cycle durability up to 2000 cycles.

Abstract
An efficient interface and composition modification strategy is proposed to significantly increase the rate capacity and initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of SnO anodes via energy band structure modulation for Na-ion batteries (SIBs). The as-fabricated SnO@Bi@C material with Bi nanocrystals homogeneously dispersed on and around the SnO surface is prepared by an electrospinning method. The excellently dispersed Bi nanocrystals realize an effective interface contact with SnO and Na2O, which effectively lowers the electron conduction barriers and promotes sodium-ion release and transport upon the desodiation process, increasing the rate capacity and ICE of the SnO anode. The prepared SnO@Bi@C exhibits a much higher rate capacity up to 10 A g-1, except an improved ICE of 80.67%, compared to 57.38% of SnO@C. Importantly, the intercalation of Na+ between layer-structured Bi galleries provides a good basis for excellent cycle stability due to the highways constructed inside the prepared composites. This finding provides an effective tactic to establish ion transport high-speed channels, which essentially increase the rate performance and the ICE of the SnO-based anodes.

Abstract
Efficient sodium ion storage in graphite is as yet unattainable, because of the thermodynamic instability of sodium ion intercalates-graphite compounds. In this work, sodium fluorozirconate (Na3ZrF7, SFZ) functionalized graphite (SFZ-G) is designed and prepared by the in situ mechanochemical silicon (Si) replacement of sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6, SFS) and functionalization of graphite at the same time. During the mechanochemical process, the atomic Si in SFS is directly replaced by atomic zirconium (Zr) from the zirconium oxide (ZrO2) balls and container in the presence of graphite, forming SFZ-G. The resulting SFZ-G, working as an anode material for sodium ion storage, shows a significantly enhanced capacity of 418.7 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C-rate, compared to pristine graphite (35 mAh g-1) and simply ball-milled graphite (BM-G, 200 mAh g-1). In addition, the SFZ-G exhibits stable sodium-ion storage performance with 86% of its initial capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 2.0 C-rate.

Chem Sci 2024; 15:11134-11144. [PMID: 39027283 PMCID: PMC11253150 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc02400a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Electron injection effectively induces the formation of a 1T-rich phase to address the low conductivity of MoSe2. Nevertheless, overcoming the inherent metastability of the 1T phase (particularly during the conversion reactions that entail the decomposition-reconstruction of MoSe2 and volume expansion) remains a challenge. Guided by DFT results, we designed a composite with bimetal selenides-based heterostructures anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets (G-Cu2Se@MoSe2) to obtain stabilized 1T-rich MoSe2 and enhanced ion transfer. The construction of 1T-rich MoSe2 and built-in electric fields (BiEF) through electron transfer at the heterointerfaces were realized. Moreover, the rGO-metal selenides heterostructures with in situ-formed interfacial bonds could facilitate the reconstruction of the 1T-rich MoSe2-involved heterostructure and interfacial BiEF. Such a dual heterostructure endowed G-Cu2Se@MoSe2 with an excellent rate capability with a capacity of 288 mA h g-1 at 50 A g-1 and superior cycling stability with a capacity retention ratio of 89.6% (291 mA h g-1) after 15 000 cycles at 10 A g-1. Insights into the functional mechanism and structural evolution of the 1T MoSe2-involved dual heterostructure from this work may provide guidelines for the development of MoSe2 and phase-engineering strategies for other polymorphistic materials.

Abstract
Herein, hierarchically structured microgrid frameworks of Co3O4 and carbon composite deposited on reduced graphene oxide (Co3O4@C/rGO) are demonstrated through the three-dimensioinal (3D) printing method, where the porous structure is controllable and the height and width are scalable, for dendrite-free Na metal deposition. The sodiophilicity, facile Na metal deposition kinetics, and NaF-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation of cubic Co3O4 phase are confirmed by combined spectroscopic and computational analyses. Moreover, the uniform and reversible Na plating/stripping process on 3D-printed Co3O4@C/rGO host is monitored in real time using in situ transmission electron and optical microscopies. In symmetric cells, the 3D printed Co3O4@C/rGO electrode achieves a long-term stability over 3950 at 1 mA cm-2 and 1 mAh cm-2 with a superior Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 99.87% as well as 120 h even at 20 mA cm-2 and 20 mAh cm-2, far exceeding the previously reported carbon-based hosts for Na metal anodes. Consequently, the full cells of 3D-printed Na@Co3O4@C/rGO anode with 3D-printed Na3V2(PO4)3@C-rGO cathode (≈15.7 mg cm-2) deliver the high specific capacity of 97.97 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles with a high CE of 99.89% at 0.5 C, demonstrating the real operation of flexible Na metal batteries.

Abstract
Advancing the high-voltage stability of the O3-type layered cathodes for sodium-ion batteries is critical to boost their progress in energy storage applications. However, this type of cathode often suffers from intricate phase transition and structural degradation at high voltages (i.e., >4.0 V vs Na+/Na), resulting in rapid capacity decay. Here, we present a Li/Ti cosubstitution strategy to modify the electronic configuration of oxygen elements in the O3-type layered oxide cathode. This deliberate modulation simultaneously mitigates the phase transitions and counteracts the weakening of the shielding effect resulting from the extraction of sodium ions, thus enhancing the electrostatic bonding within the TM layer and inducing and optimizing the O3-OP2 phase transition occurring in the voltage range of 2.0-4.3 V. Consequently, the cosubstituted NaLi1/9Ni1/3Mn4/9Ti1/9O2 exhibits an astounding capacity of 161.2 mAh g-1 in the voltage range of 2.0-4.3 V at 1C, and stable cycling up to 100 cycles has been achieved. This work shows the impact mechanism of element substitution on interlayer forces and phase transitions, providing a crucial reference for the optimization of O3-type materials.

Abstract
In the current world, storing and converting energy without affecting the natural ecosystem are considered a sustainable and efficient green energy source production technology. Especially, using low-cost, environmentally friendly, and high-cycle stability activated carbon (AC) from the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) waste material for charge storage application is the current attractive strategy for renewable energy generation. In this study, preparation of AC from water hyacinth using a mixed chemical activation agent followed by activation time was optimized by the I-optimal coordinate exchange design model based on a 3-factor/3-level strategy under nine experimental runs. The optimum conditions to prepare AC were found to be potassium hydroxide (≈17 g) and potassium carbonate (≈11 g), and the carbonization time was approximately 1 h. Under these augmented conditions, the maximum specific capacitance suggested by the designed model was found to be ≈75.2 F/g. The regression coefficient (R 2 = 0.9979), adjusted (R 2 = 0.9917), predicted (R 2 = 0.8706), adequate precision (39.2795), and p-values (0.0062) proved the good correlation between actual and predicted values. The physicochemical and electrochemical properties of the final optimized AC were characterized by thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), and potentiostat (CV and EIS) instruments. Finally, the optimized AC electrode after 100 cycles at a current density of 2 A g-1 retains an efficiency of 71.57%, indicating the good stability and sustainability of this material.

Abstract
Sodium-metal batteries (SMBs) are ideal for large-scale energy storage due to their stable operation and high capacity. However, they have safety issues caused by severe dendrite growth and side reactions, particularly when using liquid electrolytes. Therefore, it is critically important to develop electrolytes with high ionic conductivity and improved safety that are non-flammable and resistant to dendrites. Here, we developed polymerized polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA)-modified poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) electrolytes (PPEs) with highly conductive sodium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and corrosion-inhibitive sodium bis(oxalato)borate salts for SMBs. Well-complexed PEGDA not only increases the amorphicity of the PVDF matrix, but also offers numerous Lewis basic sites through the polar groups of carbonyl and ether groups (i.e., electron donors). The presence of the Lewis basic sites facilitates the dissociation of sodium salt and transportation of Na+ within the PVDF matrix. This results in the generation of additional Na+ transport pathways, which can enhance the performance of the battery. Among PPEs, the optimized PPE-50 exhibits a high ionic conductivity of 3.42 × 10-4 S cm-1 and a mechanical strength of 14.0 MPa. A Na||Na symmetric cell with PPE-50 displays high stability at 0.2 mA cm-2 for 800 h. PPE-50 further displays high capacity, e.g., a Na3V2(PO4)3|PPE-50|Na battery delivers a decent discharge capacity of 101.5 mAh g-1 at 1.0C after 650 cycles. Our work demonstrates the development of high-performance quasi-solid polymer electrolytes with multiple transport pathways suitable for room-temperature SMBs.

Abstract
The phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin is an economical precursor for spherical hard carbon (HC) anodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, achieving precise molecular-level control of PF-based HC microspheres, particularly for optimizing ion transport microstructure, is challenging. Here, a sodium linoleate (SL)-assisted strategy is proposed to enable molecular-level engineering of PF-based HC microspheres. PF microspheres are synthesized through the polymerization of 3-aminophenol and formaldehyde, initially forming oxazine rings and then undergoing ring-opening polymerization to create a macromolecular network. SL functions as both a surfactant to control microsphere size and a catalyst to enhance ring-opening polymerization and increase polymerization of PF resin. These modifications lead to reduced microsphere diameter, increased interlayer spacing, enhanced graphitization, and significantly improved electron and ion transfer. The synthesized HC microspheres exhibit a remarkable reversible capacity of 337 mAh/g, maintaining 96.9 mAh/g even at a high current density of 5.0 A/g. Furthermore, the full cell demonstrates a high capacity of 150 mAh/g, an energy density of 125.3 Wh kg-1, an impressive initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) of 930.3% at 1 A/g, and remarkable long-term stability over 3000 cycles. This study highlights the potential of surfactant-assisted molecular-level engineering in customizing HC microspheres for advanced SIBs.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) represent a promising energy storage technology with great safety. Because of their high operating potential, superior structural stability, and prominent thermal stability, polyanion-type phosphates have garnered significant interest in superior prospective cathode materials for SIBs. Nevertheless, the disadvantages of poor intrinsic electronic conductivity, sluggish kinetics, and volume variation during sodiation/desodiation remain great challenges for satisfactory rate performance and cycle stability, which severely hinder their further practical applications. In this work, by adjusting the amounts of pretreated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) added intentionally at the beginning of the preparation, biphasic polyanion-type phosphate materials (marked as NFC) are synthesized through a one-pot solid state reaction methodology, which are composed of CNT-interwoven Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF) and a small amount of Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP). Benefiting from the improved electronic conductivity and unique composition and structure, the optimized sample (labeled as NFC-2) illustrates exceptional cycle stability and remarkable rate performance. The discharge capacities of the NFC-2 electrode are 114.8 and 78.6 mAh g-1 tested at 20 and 5000 mA g-1, respectively. Notably, such an electrode still gives out 75.7% capacity retention upon 10 000 cycles at 5000 mA g-1. In situ X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrates that the NFC-2 cathode has outstanding structural reversibility during charge/discharge cycles. More importantly, such a biphasic material has achieved impressive electrochemical performance within a wide operating temperature range of -20-50 °C. When temperature is decreased to -20 °C, the NFC-2 electrode still delivers an initial discharge capacity of 102.4 mAh g-1 and exhibits a remarkable capacity retention of 97.8% even after 500 cycles at 50 mA g-1. In addition, the sodium-ion full cell assembled by integrating NFC-2 cathode and hard carbon anode shows a satisfying energy density of 431.3 Wh kg-1 at 20 mA g-1 with a better long-term cycle performance. The synergistic effect among high energy NVPF, conductive CNT, and stable NVP may lead to the great improvement in the electrochemical sodium storage performance of the NFC-2 sample. Such biphasic polyanion-type phosphate materials will inject new ideas into the material design for SIBs with excellent electrochemical performance and further promote practical applications of this advanced energy storage technology.

Abstract
Stannous sulfide (SnS), a conversion-alloying type anode for sodium-ion batteries, is strong Na+ storage activity, a low voltage platform, and high theoretical capacity. However, grain pulverization induced by intolerable volume change and phase aggregation causes quick capacity degradation and unsatisfactory rate capability. Herein, a novel "lasagna" strategy is developed by embedding a SnS layer into the interlayer of an electrochemically robust and electron-active TaS2 to form a misfit layered (SnS)1.15TaS2 superlattice. For Na+ storage, the rationally designed (SnS)1.15TaS2 anode exhibits high specific capacity, excellent rate capability, and robust cycling stability (729 mAh cm-3 at 15 C after 2000 cycles). Moreover, the as-assembled (SnS)1.15TaS2 || Na3V2(PO4)3 full cells achieve robust and fast Na+ storage performance with ≈100% capacity retention after 650 cycles at 15 C, which also demonstrates good low-temperature performance at -20 °C with a capacity retention of 75% and 2 C high-rate charge/discharge ability.

Novel in-situ encapsulation of tin phosphide particles in MXene conductive networks as anode materials of the durable sodium-ion battery. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 675:792-805. [PMID: 39002230 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.07.070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
Sodium-ion battery (SIB) is one of potential alternatives to lithium-ion battery, because of abundant resources and lower price of sodium. High electrical conductivity and long-term durability of MXene are advantageous as the anode material of SIB, but low energy density restricts applications. Tin phosphide possesses high theoretical capacity, low redox potential, and large energy density, but volume expansion reduces its cycling stability. In this study, tin phosphide particles are in-situ encapsulated into MXene conductive networks (SnxPy/MXene) by hydrothermal and phosphorization processes as novel anode materials of SIB. MXene amounts and hydrothermal durations are investigated to evenly distribute SnxPy in MXene. After 100 cycles, SnxPy/MXene reaches high specific capacities of 438.8 and 314.1 mAh/g at 0.2 and 1.0 A/g, respectively. The capacity retentions of 6.0% and 73.6% at 0.2 A/g are respectively obtained by SnxPy and SnxPy/MXene. The better specific capacity and cycling stability of SnxPy/MXene are attributed to less volume expansion of SnxPy during charge/discharge processes and relieved self-stacking of MXene by encapsulating SnxPy particles between MXene layers. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Galvanostatic intermittent titration technique are also applied to analyze the charge storage mechanism in SIB. Higher sodium ion diffusion coefficient and smaller charge-transfer resistance are obtained by SnxPy/MXene.

Abstract
This study explores the impact of introducing vacancy in the transition metal layer of rationally designed Na0.6[Ni0.3Ru0.3Mn0.4]O2 (NRM) cathode material. The incorporation of Ru, Ni, and vacancy enhances the structural stability during extensive cycling, increases the operation voltage, and induces a capacity increase while also activating oxygen redox, respectively, in Na0.7[Ni0.2VNi0.1Ru0.3Mn0.4]O2 (V-NRM) compound. Various analytical techniques including transmission electron microscopy, X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy, operando X-ray diffraction, and operando differential electrochemical mass spectrometry are employed to assess changes in the average oxidation states and structural distortions. The results demonstrate that V-NRM exhibits higher capacity than NRM and maintains a moderate capacity retention of 81% after 100 cycles. Furthermore, the formation of additional lone-pair electrons in the O 2p orbital enables V-NRM to utilize more capacity from the oxygen redox validated by density functional calculation, leading to a widened dominance of the OP4 phase without releasing O2 gas. These findings offer valuable insights for the design of advanced high-capacity cathode materials with improved performance and sustainability in sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Layered manganese transition metal oxides, such as NaMnO2, have attracted great interest due to the low cost and high capacity. However, complex phase transitions in NaMnO2 lead to poor cycling stability. The introduction of Li doping has been confirmed to improve the performance of NaMnO2. O3-type NaLi1/3Mn2/3O2 (NLMO), synthesized in 2021, has demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance. Notably, irreversible Li interlayer migration (Li migrates from the transition metal layer to the alkali metal layer) has been observed during cycling, which is related to the electrochemical performance. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the mechanism underlying Li interlayer migration in O3-NLMO. However, the environment of Li interlayer migration on cycling is complex and involves interlayer spacing, Na-ion concentration, the degree of O-ion oxidation, and phase transition. Here, in this work, we utilized the first-principles method to decouple the coupling factors influencing the Li interlayer migration. Through analyzing the impact of the single-factor on Li interlayer migration, we aim to identify the crucial factors affecting this process. Our results show that a decrease in Na-ion concentration and an increase in O-ion oxidation degree promote the Li interlayer migration, while the O-P phase transition suppresses the Li interlayer migration. Interlayer spacing was found to play a less influential role in Li interlayer migration. Our investigations provide effective strategies for the subsequent regulation of Li interlayer migration.

Abstract
Heterojunctions and controllable anionic vacancies are perceived to be powerful means of ameliorating the performance of sodium-ion batteries assignable to their unique physical and chemical properties. However, the mechanism by which heterojunction and vacancy structures affect sodium-ion battery storage remains to be systemically explored. In this study, the Se doped CoS2@CoS1.035@Carbon (Se-CoS2@CoS1.035@C) heterostructure with anion vacancy was synthesized by a one-step calcination. These heterostructures with lower metal oxidation states and anionic vacancies exhibit exceptional Na+ storage performance (554.3 mA h g-1 after 1500 cycles at 5.0 A g-1). Both electrochemical tests and theoretical calculations demonstrate excellent pseudocapacitive behavior and enhanced Na+ adsorption during discharge because of anionic vacancies and Se doping. Additionally, introducing weaker Co-Se bonds and extending Co-S and Co-Se bonds reduce binding energies, which effectively accelerates the conversion reaction. Our findings provide a feasible way to rationally design and facilely prepare heterostructured anode materials with rich anionic vacancies for sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as an advanced electrochemical energy storage technology with potential to alleviate the dependence on lithium resources. Similar to Li-ion batteries, the cathode materials play a decisive role in the cost and energy output of SIBs. Among various cathode materials, Na layered transition-metal (TM) oxides have become an appealing choice owing to their facile synthesis, high Na storage capacity/voltage that are suitable for use in high-energy SIBs, and high adaptivity to the large-scale manufacture of Li layered oxide analogues. However, going from the lab to the market, the practical use of Na layered oxide cathodes is limited by the ambiguous understanding of the fundamental structure-performance correlation of cathode materials and lack of customized material design strategies to meet the diverse demands in practical storage applications. In this review, we attempt to clarify the fundamental misunderstandings by elaborating the correlations between the electron configuration of the critical capacity-contributing elements (e.g., TM cations and oxygen anion) in oxides and their influence on the Na (de)intercalation (electro)chemistry and storage properties of the cathode. Subsequently, we discuss the issues that hinder the practical use of layered oxide cathodes, their origins and the corresponding strategies to address their issues and accelerate the target-oriented research and development of cathode materials. Finally, we discuss several new Na layered cathode materials that show prospects for next-generation SIBs, including layered oxides with anion redox and high entropy and highlight the use of layered oxides as cathodes for solid-state SIBs with higher energy and safety. In summary, we aim to offer insights into the rational design of high-performance Na layered oxide cathode materials towards the practical realization of sustainable electrochemical energy storage at a low cost.

Abstract
Metal selenides have garnered significant attention as promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, thanks to their high theoretical capacity, excellent conductivity, and natural abundance. However, their potential is hampered by disappointing capacity retention and unsatisfactory lifespan, primarily attributed to volume expansion and unwanted structural collapse resulting from the insertion and extraction of relatively large Na+ ions during the charge and discharge processes. This feature article provides a brief overview of our endeavors to address the challenges associated with metal selenide-based anode materials, aiming to achieve high-performance electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Our strategy encompasses nanostructure design, materials composite engineering, heteroatoms doping, and topography and interface engineering. Additionally, future research directions are also outlined.

Abstract
P2-phase layered cathodes play a pivotal role in sodium-ion batteries due to their efficient Na+ intercalation chemistry. However, limited by crystal disintegration and interfacial instability, bulk and interfacial failure plague their electrochemical performance. To address these challenges, a structural enhancement combined with surface modification is achieved through trace Y doping. Based on a synergistic combination of experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the introduction of partial Y ions at the Na site (2d) acts as a stabilizing pillar, mitigating the electrostatic repulsions between adjacent TMO2 slabs and thereby relieving internal structural stress. Furthermore, the presence of Y effectively optimizes the Ni 3d-O 2p hybridization, resulting in enhanced electronic conductivity and a notable rapid charging ability, with a capacity of 77.3 mA h g-1 at 40 C. Concurrently, the introduction of Y also induces the formation of perovskite nano-islands, which serve to minimize side reactions and modulate interfacial diffusion. As a result, the refined P2-Na0.65 Y0.025[Ni0.33Mn0.67]O2 cathode material exhibits an exceptionally low volume variation (≈1.99%), an impressive capacity retention of 83.3% even at -40 °C after1500 cycles at 1 C.

WATER RESEARCH 2024; 258:121753. [PMID: 38754298 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Seawater utilization is crucial for the sustainable human development. Despite growing interest in forward osmosis (FO) due to its unique properties, conventional FO membranes with salt-water selectivity have limitations in applying to specific salt-salt separation processes, which hinders their application in resource utilization. In this work, a new concept, "selective forward osmosis (SFO)", was proposed, which ingeniously employed an SFO membrane consisting of an ion-selective layer on a denser substrate. The denser substrate is designed to control water flux so as to alleviate the solution dilution and improve the salt-salt separation. Moreover, the sucrose and pure water were used separately as feed solution to provide different water flux to influence the various salt fluxes, showing that pure water feed could enhance the salt-salt separation efficiency, although it could dilute the draw solution to some extent. Therefore, pure water was selected as feed in the subsequent experiments. The optimized SFO membrane achieved high Na2SO4/NaCl selectivity (∼54.8) and MgCl2/NaCl selectivity (∼9.2) in single-salt draw solutions. With mixed-salt and heavy-metal-mixed-salt draw solutions, the Mg2+/Na+ selectivity was enhanced to ∼14.5, and further to 29.3. In real seawater tests, the SFO system effectively permeated monovalent elements (such as Na flux of ∼68.6 g m-2 h-1) while maintaining a higher rejection for bivalent elements (such as Mg flux of ∼0.08 g m-2 h-1), showing high selectivities for Mg/Na, U/Na, Sr/Na, Ni/Na, and Ca/Na. These results demonstrate the potential of SFO for resource utilization, especially in complex saline environments. This work contributes a new route for salt-salt separation in the pretreatment of seawater resources.

Abstract
All-solid-state batteries employing solid electrolytes (SEs) have received widespread attention due to their high safety. Recently, lithium halides are intensively investigated as promising SEs while their sodium counterparts are less studied. Herein, a new sodium-ion conductor with a chemical formula of Na2.5Cr0.5Zr0.5Cl6 is reported, which exhibits high room temperature ionic conductivity of 0.1 mS cm-1 with low migration energy barrier of ≈0.41 eV. Na2.5Cr0.5Zr0.5Cl6 has a Fm-3m structure with 41.67 mol.% of cationic vacancies owing to the occupation of Cr (8.33 mol.%) and Zr (8.33 mol.%) ions at Na sites. Supercell calculations show that the lowest columbic energy configuration has Cr/Zr/V (where V is the vacancy) clusters in the structure. Nonetheless, the clusters have mixed effects on the sodium ion conduction pathway, based on the Bond Valence Energy Landscape calculation. A global 3D Na-ion transport percolation network can be revealed in the lowest energy supercell. Effective pathways are connected through the NaCl6 and VCl6 nodes. Besides, Raman spectroscopy and 23Na solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy further prove the tunable structure of the SEs with different Cr to Zr ratios. The optimization between the concentration of Na+ and vacancies is crucial to create an improved network of Na+ diffusion channels.

Abstract
The development of the electric vehicle industry has spurred demand for secondary batteries capable of rapid-charging and slow-discharging. Among them, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with layered oxide as the cathode exhibit competitive advantages due to their comprehensive electrochemical performance. However, to meet the requirements of rapid-charging and slow-discharging scenarios, it is necessary to further enhance the rate performance of the cathode material to achieve symmetrical capacity at different rates. Simultaneously, minimizing lattice strain during asymmetric electrochemical processes is also significant in alleviating strain accumulation. In this study, the ordered distribution of transition metal layers and the diffusion pathway of sodium ions are optimized through targeted K-doping of sodium layers, leading to a reduction of the diffusion barrier and endowment of prominent rate performance. At a 20C rate, the capacity of the cathode can reach 94% of that at a 0.1C rate. Additionally, the rivet effect of the sodium layers resulted in a global volume strain of only 0.03% for the modified cathode during charging at a 10C rate and discharging at a 1C rate. In summary, high-performance SIBs, with promising prospects for rapid-charging and slow-discharging capability, are obtained through the regulation of sodium layers, opening up new avenues for commercial applications.

Abstract
O3 phase layered oxides are highly attractive cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries because of their high capacity and decent initial Coulombic efficiency. However, their rate capability and long cycling life are unsatisfactory due to the narrow Na+ transfer channel and irreversible phase transitions of O3 phase during sodiation/desodiation process. Constructing O3/P2 multiphase structures has been proven to be an effective strategy to overcome these challenges. In this study, we synthesized bi-phasic structured O3/P2 Na(Ni2/9Fe1/3Cu1/9Mn1/3)1-xMnxO2 (x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05) materials through Mn doping during sodiation process. Benefiting from surface P2 phase layer with the enhanced Na+ transfer dynamics and high structural stability, the Na(Ni2/9Fe1/3Cu1/9Mn1/3)0.98Mn0.02O2 (NFCM-M2) cathode delivers a reversible capacity of 139.1 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C, and retains 71.4 % of its original capacity after 300 cycles at 1 C. Our work provides useful guidance for designing multiphase cathodes and offers new insights into the structure-performance correlation for sodium-ion cathode materials.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-metal batteries have attracted increasing interest for large-scale energy storage owing to their outstanding merits in terms of safety, cost and production. However, they constantly suffer from inadequate energy density and poor cycling stability due to the presence of zinc ions in the fully hydrated solvation state. Thus, designing the dehydrated solvation structure of zinc ions can effectively address the current drawbacks of aqueous Zn-metal batteries. In this case, considering the lack of studies focused on strategies for the dehydration of zinc ions, herein, we present a systematic and comprehensive review to deepen the understanding of zinc-ion solvation regulation. Two fundamental design principles of component regulation and pre-desolvation are summarized in terms of solvation environment formation and interfacial desolvation behavior. Subsequently, specific strategy based distinct principles are carefully discussed, including preparation methods, working mechanisms, analysis approaches and performance improvements. Finally, we present a general summary of the issues addressed using zinc-ion dehydration strategies, and four critical aspects to promote zinc-ion solvation regulation are presented as an outlook, involving updating (de)solvation theories, revealing interfacial evolution, enhancing analysis techniques and developing functional materials. We believe that this review will not only stimulate more creativity in optimizing aqueous electrolytes but also provide valuable insights into designing other battery systems.

Abstract
Cost-effectiveness plays a decisive role in sustainable operating of rechargeable batteries. As such, the low cost-consumption of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) provides a promising direction for "how do SIBs/PIBs replace Li-ion batteries (LIBs) counterparts" based on their resource abundance and advanced electrochemical performance. To rationalize the SIBs/PIBs technologies as alternatives to LIBs from the unit energy cost perspective, this review gives the specific criteria for their energy density at possible electrode-price grades and various battery-longevity levels. The cost ($ kWh-1 cycle-1) advantage of SIBs/PIBs is ascertained by the cheap raw-material compensation for the cycle performance deficiency and the energy density gap with LIBs. Furthermore, the cost comparison between SIBs and PIBs, especially on cost per kWh and per cycle, is also involved. This review explicitly manifests the practicability and cost-effectiveness toward SIBs are superior to PIBs whose commercialization has so far been hindered by low energy density. Even so, the huge potential on sustainability of PIBs, to outperform SIBs, as the mainstream energy storage technology is revealed as long as PIBs achieve long cycle life or enhanced energy density, the related outlook of which is proceeded as the next development directions for commercial applications.

Abstract
Structural symmetry breaking plays a pivotal role in fine-tuning the properties of nano-layered materials. Here, based on the first-principles approaches we propose a Janus monolayer of metallic CoSb by breaking the out-of-plane structural symmetry. Specifically, within the CoSb monolayer by replacing the top-layer 'Sb' with 'As' atoms entirely, the Janus Co2AsSb monolayer can be formed, whose structure is confirmed via structural optimization and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Notably, the Janus Co2AsSb monolayer demonstrates stability at an elevated temperature of 1200 K, surpassing the stability of the CoSb monolayer, which remains stable only up to 900 K. We propose that both the CoSb and Janus Co2AsSb monolayers could serve as capable anode materials for power-driven metal-ion batteries, owing to their substantial theoretical capacity and robust binding strength. The theoretical specific capacities for Li/Na reach up to 1038.28/1186.60 mA h g-1 for CoSb, while Janus Co2AsSb demonstrates a marked improvement in electrochemical storage capacity of 3578.69/2215.38 mA h g-1 for Li/Na, representing a significant leap forward in this domain. The symmetry-breaking effect upgrades the CoSb monolayer, as a more viable contender for power-driven metal-ion batteries. Furthermore, electronic structure calculations indicate a notable charge transfer that augments the metallic nature, which would boost electrical conductivity. These simulations demonstrate that the CoSb and Janus Co2AsSb monolayers have immense potential for application in the design of metal-ion battery technologies.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3(NVP) is an ideal cathode material for sodium ion battery due to its stable three-dimensional frame structure and high operating voltage. However, the low intrinsic conductivity and serious structural collapse limit its further application. In this work, a simultaneous optimized Na3V1.96Ru0.04(PO4)3/C@CNTs cathode material is synthesized by a simple sol-gel method. Specifically, the ionic radius of Ru3+ is slightly larger than that of V3+ (0.68 Å vs 0.64 Å), which not only ensures the feasibility of Ru3+ replacing V3+ site, but also appropriately expands the migration channel of sodium ions in NVP and stabilizes the structure, effectively improving the diffusion efficiency of sodium ions. Moreover, CNTs construct a three-dimensional conductive network between the grains, reducing the impedance at the interface and effectively improving the electronic conductivity. Ex-situ XRD analysis at different SOC were performed to determine the change in the crystal structure of Ru3+doped Na3V2(PO4)3, and the refinement results simultaneously demonstrate the relatively low volume shrinkage value of less than 3 % during the de-intercalation process, further verifying the stabilized crystal construction after Ru3+ substitution. Furthermore, the ex-situ XRD/SEM/CV/EIS after cycling indicate the significantly improved kinetic characteristics and enhanced structural stability. Notably, the modified Na3V1.96Ru0.04(PO4)3/C@CNTs reveals superior rate capability and ultralong cyclic performance. It submits high capacities of 82.3/80.9 mAh g-1 at 80/120C and maintains 71.3/59.6 mAh g-1 after 14800/6250 cycles, indicating excellent retention ratios of 86.6 % and 73.6 %, respectively. This work provides a multi-modification strategy for the realization of high-performance cathode materials, which can be widely applied in the optimization of various materials.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) cathode materials with the advantages of long cycle life and superior thermal stability have been considered promising cathode candidates for SIBs. However, the unsatisfactory energy density derived from low theoretical capacity and operating voltage (3.35 V vs. Na+/Na, based on the V3+/V4+ redox couple) inevitably limits their practical application. Therefore, the activation of the V4+/V5+ redox couple (∼4.0 V vs. Na+/Na) in NVP-based cathode materials to boost the energy density of SIBs has attracted extensive attention.

Achieving High Initial Coulombic Efficiency and Capacity in a Surface Chemical Grafting Layer of Plateau-type Sodium Titanate. CHEMSUSCHEM 2024; 17:e202301598. [PMID: 38264796 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202301598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
The plateau-type sodium titanate with suitable sodiation potential is a promising anode candidate for high safe and high energy density of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the poor initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and cyclic instability of sodium titanate are attributed to the unstable interfacial structure along with the decomposition of electrolytes, resulting in the continuous formation of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film. To address this issue, a chemical grafting method is developed to fabricate a highly stable interface layer of inert Al2O3 on the sodium titanate anode, rendering the high ICE and excellent cycling stability. Based on theoretical calculations, NaPF6 are more likely adsorption on the Al2O3 surface and produce sodium fluoride. The formation of a thin and dense SEI film with rich sodium fluoride achieves the low interfacial resistances and charge-transfer resistances. Benefitting from our design, the obtained sodium titanate exhibits a high ICE from 67.7 % to 79.4 % and an enhanced reversible capacity from 151 mAh g-1 to 181 mAh g-1 at 20 mA g-1, along with an increase in capacity retention from 56.5 % to 80.6 % after 500 cycles. This work heralds a promising paradigm for rational regulation of interfacial stability to achieve high-performance anodes for SIBs.

Abstract
Flexible electrodes based on conversion-type materials have potential applications in low-cost and high-performance flexible sodium-ion batteries (FSIBs), owing to their high theoretical capacity and appropriate sodiation potential. However, they suffer from flexible electrodes with poor mechanical properties and sluggish reaction kinetics. In this study, freestanding CoS2 nanoparticles coupled with graphene oxides and carbon nanotubes (CoS2/GO/CNTs) flexible films with robust and interconnected architectures were successfully synthesized. CoS2/GO/CNTs flexible film displays high electronic conductivity and superior mechanical properties (average tensile strength of 21.27 MPa and average toughness of 393.18 KJ m-3) owing to the defect bridge for electron transfer and the formation of the π-π interactions between CNTs and GO. In addition, the close contact between the CoS2 nanoparticles and carbon networks enabled by the Co-N chemical bond prevents the self-aggregation of the CoS2 nanoparticles. As a result, the CoS2/GO/CNTs flexible film delivered superior rate capability (213.5 mAh g-1 at 6 A g-1, better than most reported flexible anode) and long-term cycling stability. Moreover, the conversion reaction that occurred in the CoS2/GO/CNTs flexible film exhibited pseudocapacitive behavior. This study provides meaningful insights into the development of flexible electrodes with superior mechanical properties and electrochemical performance for energy storage.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn)-based Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are of great interest as a prospective cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high redox potential, easy synthesis, and low cost. However, the Jahn-Teller effect and low electrical conductivity of Mn-based PBA cause poor structure stability and unsatisfactory performance during the cycling. Herein, a novel nickel- and copper-codoped K2Mn[Fe(CN)6] cathode is developed via a simple coprecipitation strategy. The doping elements improve the electrical conductivity of Mn-based PBA by reducing the bandgap, as well as suppress the Jahn-Teller effect by stabilizing the framework, as verified by the density functional theory calculations. Simultaneously, the substitution of sodium with potassium in the lattice is beneficial for filling vacancies in the PBA framework, leading to higher average operating voltages and superior structural stability. As a result, the as-prepared Mn-based cathode exhibits excellent reversible capacity (116.0 mAh g-1 at 0.01 A g-1) and superior cycling stability (81.8% capacity retention over 500 cycles at 0.1 A g-1). This work provides a profitable doping strategy to inhibit the Jahn-Teller structural deformation for designing stable cathode material of SIBs.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped carbon submicrospheres (NCSMs) are synthesized via an efficient and environmentally friendly one-pot polymerization reaction at room temperature, in which dopamine hydrochloride serves as the source for both carbon and nitrogen. Through leverage of its distinctive structure characterized by minimal surface area, fewer oxygen-containing functional groups, and a heightened presence of active nitrogen-doping sites, the synthesized NCSM showcases a noteworthy initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of 84.8%, a remarkable sodium storage capacity of 384 mAh g-1, an impressive rate capability of 215 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1, and a superior cyclic performance, maintaining 83.0% of its capacity after 2000 cycles. The submicron spherical structure, with its limited surface area and scarce oxygen-containing moieties, effectively curtails the irreversible sodium-ion loss in solid-electrolyte interphase film formation, resulting in heightened ICE. The abundant nitrogen doping can expand carbon-layer spacing as well as improve the electron/ion-transport dynamics, guaranteeing a high sodium storage capacity and a strong rate capability. Crucially, the synthesis method presented here is straightforward, effective, and amenable to scaling, offering a novel avenue for the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
NASICON structured Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) has captured enormous attention as a potential cathode for next-generation sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), owing to its sturdy crystal structure and high theoretical capacity. Nonetheless, its poor intrinsic electronic conductivity has led to inferior electrochemical performance in terms of rate capability and long cycling performance. To address this problem, a combined strategy is adopted, such as (1) carbon coating and (2) high valent Sn4+ ion doping in the lattice site of vanadium in the NVP cathode. Carbon coating can effectively enhance the surface electronic conductivity, wherein high-valent Sn4+ improves the bulk intrinsic electronic conductivity of the materials. Moreover, Sn is a well-known alloying/dealloying type anode for SIBs; thus, doping of such metal in cathode materials will assume the role of structure stabilizing pillars and establishing high-performing cathode materials. Herein, Na3V2-xSnx(PO4)3/C (denoted as Sn(x)-NVP/C, where x = 0.00, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1) were synthesized via sol-gel route, followed by calcination at 800 °C. XRD, Raman, XPS, and electron microscopy data confirmed the high purity of the synthesized cathode. The optimized Sn(0.07)-NVP/C exhibited excellent electrochemical performance in terms of high rate capability and long cycling performance, a high appreciable capacity of 98 mAh g-1 with capacity retention of 85% after 500 cycles. Similarly, at a high current of 20C, it is still able to deliver a stable capacity of 76 mAh g-1 with 85% capacity retention after 3000 cycles. The rate capability study indicates the high current tolerance of Sn(0.07)-NVP/C up to 70 C with a capacity delivery of 55 mAh g-1. It is worth mentioning that CV and EIS analysis for Sn(0.07)-NVP/C cathode displayed minimum voltage polarization and enhanced diffusion coefficient. Moreover, DFT calculation also proved that the electronic and ionic conductivity of NVP is promoted by Sn doping. Hence, the present results demonstrated that Sn(0.07)-NVP/C is considered a promising cathode for sodium-ion battery application.

Abstract
Na superionic conductor (NASICON)-structured Na4MnCr(PO4)3 (NMCP) possessing unique three-electron transfer process renders admirable energy density for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). However, the current issues like its sluggish Na+ diffusion kinetics, deficient intrinsic conductivity, and unsatisfactory structural stability, hinder its practical application. Herein, a selective replacement of O elements in PO4 group by Cl anions in the NMCP system was developed to significantly enhance its electrochemical performance. The results affirm that the enhanced performance of Cl doped samples can be attributed to the enlargement of cell size, the creation of Na vacancies and the weakness of Na2O bond after Cl doping. The as-prepared Na3.85□0.15MnCr(PO3.95Cl0.05)3/C (NMCPC - 15/C) cathode delivers a high capacity (128.0 mAh/g at 50 mA g-1) and excellent rate performance (73.0 mAh/g at 1000 mA g-1) in contrast to NMCP/C that merely provides 105.2 mAh/g at 50 mA g-1 and reduces to 47.4 mAh/g at 1000 mA g-1. Meanwhile, NMCPC - 15/C shows a capacity retention of 60.7 % at 1000 mA g-1 after 500 cycles, while only 37.1 % for NMCP/C in the same test conditions. Moreover, the satisfactory performance and energy density of NMCPC - 15/C||hard carbon (HC) full cell confirm the potential practicality of NMCPC - 15. Therefore, chloride ions doping into NMCP has practical application prospects in the preparation of high-performance cathode materials and our work also offers new inspiration to apply anion doping strategies in promoting the performance of the other NASICON-structured cathodes for SIBs.

Abstract
Alkali metal-sulfur batteries (particularly, lithium/sodium- sulfur (Li/Na-S)) have attracted much attention because of their high energy density, the natural abundance of sulfur, and environmental friendliness. However, Li/Na-S batteries still face big challenges, such as limited cycle life, poor conductivity, large volume changes, and the "shuttle effect" caused by the high solubility of Li/Na-polysulfides. Herein, novel organosulfur-containing materials, i.e., bis(4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)disulfide (BiTEMPS-OH) and 2,4-thiophene/arene copolymer (TAC) are proposed as cathode materials for Li and Na batteries. BiTEMPS-OH shows an initial discharge/charge capacity of 353/192 mAh g-1 and a capacity of 62 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 100 mA g-1 in ether-based Li-ion electrolyte. Meanwhile, TAC has an initial discharge/charge capacity of 270/248 mAh g-1 and better cycling performance (106 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles) than BiTEMPS-OH in the same electrolyte. However, the rate capability of TAC is limited by the slow diffusion of Li-ions. Both materials show inferior electrochemical performances in Na battery cells compared to the Li analogs. X-ray powder diffraction reveals that BiTEMPS-OH loses its crystalline structure permanently upon cycling in Li battery cells. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrates the cleavage and partially reversible formation of S-S bonds in BiTEMPS-OH and the formation/decomposition of thick solid electrolyte interphase on the electrode surface of TAC.

[PMID: 38569202 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202314271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) emerge as promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), heralding a new era of energy storage solutions. Despite their potential, the mechanisms underlying their performance enhancement and susceptibility to failure in ether-based electrolytes remain elusive. This study delves into these aspects, employing CoS2 electrodes as a case in point to elucidate the phenomena. The investigation reveals that CoS2 undergoes a unique irreversible and progressive solid-liquid-solid phase transition from its native state to sodium polysulfides (NaPSs), and ultimately to a Cu1.8S/Co composite, accompanied by a gradual morphological transformation from microspheres to a stable 3D porous architecture. This reconstructed 3D porous structure is pivotal for its exceptional Na+ diffusion kinetics and resilience to cycling-induced stress, being the main reason for ultrastable cycling and ultrahigh rate capability. Nonetheless, the CoS2 electrode suffers from an inevitable cycle life termination due to the microshort-circuit induced by Na metal corrosion and separator degradation. Through a comparative analysis of various TMCs, a predictive framework linking electrode longevity is established to electrode potential and Gibbs free energy. Finally, the cell failure issue is significantly mitigated at a material level (graphene encapsulation) and cell level (polypropylene membrane incorporation) by alleviating the NaPSs shuttling and microshort-circuit.

Abstract
Metal sulfides (MSs) have attracted much attention as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high sodium storage capacity. However, the unsatisfactory electrochemical performance induced by the huge volume change and sluggish kinetics hampered the practical application of SIBs. Herein, guided by the heterostructure interface engineering, novel multicomponent metal sulfide-based anodes, including SnS, FeS, and Fe3N embedded in N-doped carbon nanosheets (SnS/FeS/Fe3N/NC NSs), have been synthesized for high-performance SIBs. The as-prepared SnS/FeS/Fe3N/NC NSs with abundant heterointerfaces and high conductivity of N-doped carbon nanosheet matrix can shorten the Na+ diffusion path and promote reaction kinetics during the sodiation/desodiation process. Moreover, the presence of Fe3N can promote the reversible conversion of SnS and FeS during the cycling process. As a consequence, when evaluated as anode materials for SIBs, the SnS/FeS/Fe3N/NC NSs can maintain a high sodium storage capacity of 473.6 mAh g-1 after 600 cycles at 2.0 A g-1 and can still provide a high reversible capacity of 537.4 mAh g-1 even at 5.0 A g-1 This discovery offers a novel strategy for constructing metal sulfide-based anode materials for high-performance SIBs.

Fast Na + Kinetics and Suppressed Voltage Hysteresis Enabled by a High-Entropy Strategy for Sodium Oxide Cathodes. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2312300. [PMID: 38552255 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202312300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
O3-type layered transition metal cathodes are promising energy storage materials due to their sufficient sodium reservoir. However, sluggish sodium ions kinetics and large voltage hysteresis, which are generally associated with Na+ diffusion properties and electrochemical phase transition reversibility, drastically minimize energy density, reduce energy efficiency, and hinder further commercialization of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Here, this work proposes a high-entropy tailoring strategy through manipulating the electronic local environment within transition metal slabs to circumvent these issues. Experimental analysis combined with theoretical calculations verify that high-entropy metal ion mixing contributes to the improved reversibility of redox reaction and O3-P3-O3 phase transition behaviors as well as the enhanced Na+ diffusivity. Consequently, the designed O3-Na0.9Ni0.2Fe0.2Co0.2Mn0.2Ti0.15Cu0.05O2 material with high-entropy characteristic could display a negligible voltage hysteresis (<0.09 V), impressive rate capability (98.6 mAh g-1 at 10 C) and long-term cycling stability (79.4% capacity retention over 2000 cycles at 5 C). This work provides insightful guidance in mitigating the voltage hysteresis and facilitating Na+ diffusion of layered oxide cathode materials to realize high-rate and high-energy SIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-metal batteries (AZMBs) have gained great interest due to their low cost, eco-friendliness, and inherent safety, which serve as a promising complement to the existing metal-based batteries, e.g., lithium-metal batteries and sodium-metal batteries. Although the utilization of aqueous electrolytes and Zn metal anode in AZMBs ensures their improved safety over other metal batteries meanwhile guaranteeing their decent energy density at the cell level, plenty of challenges involved with metallic Zn anode still await to be addressed, including dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction, and zinc corrosion and passivation. In the past years, several attempts have been adopted to address these problems, among which engineering the aqueous electrolytes and additives is regarded as a facile and promising approach. In this review, a comprehensive summary of aqueous electrolytes and electrolyte additives will be given based on the recent literature, aiming at providing a fundamental understanding of the challenges associated with the metallic Zn anode in aqueous electrolytes, meanwhile offering a guideline for the electrolytes and additives engineering strategies toward stable AZMBs in the future.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) have recently garnered significant interest in being employed alongside conventional lithium-ion batteries, particularly in applications where cost and sustainability are particularly relevant. The rapid progress in NIBs will undoubtedly expedite the commercialization process. In this regard, tailoring and designing electrolyte formulation is a top priority, as they profoundly influence the overall electrochemical performance and thermal, mechanical, and dimensional stability. Moreover, electrolytes play a critical role in determining the system's safety level and overall lifespan. This review delves into recent electrolyte advancements from liquid (organic and ionic liquid) to solid and quasi-solid electrolyte (dry, hybrid, and single ion conducting electrolyte) for NIBs, encompassing comprehensive strategies for electrolyte design across various materials, systems, and their functional applications. The objective is to offer strategic direction for the systematic production of safe electrolytes and to investigate the potential applications of these designs in real-world scenarios while thoroughly assessing the current obstacles and forthcoming prospects within this rapidly evolving field.

Abstract
Designing cathode materials that effectively enhancing structural stability under high voltage is paramount for rationally enhancing energy density and safety of Na-ion batteries. This study introduces a novel P2-Na0.73K0.03Ni0.23Li0.1Mn0.67O2 (KLi-NaNMO) cathode through dual-site synergistic doping of K and Li in Na and transition metal (TM) layers. Combining theoretical and experimental studies, this study discovers that Li doping significantly strengthens the orbital overlap of Ni (3d) and O (2p) near the Fermi level, thereby regulates the phase transition and charge compensation processes with synchronized Ni and O redox. The introduction of K further adjusts the ratio of Nae and Naf sites at Na layer with enhanced structural stability and extended lattice space distance, enabling the suppression of TM dissolution, achieving a single-phase transition reaction even at a high voltage of 4.4 V, and improving reaction kinetics. Consequently, KLi-NaNMO exhibits a high capacity (105 and 120 mAh g-1 in the voltage of 2-4.2 V and 2-4.4 V at 0.1 C, respectively) and outstanding cycling performance over 300 cycles under 4.2 and 4.4 V. This work provides a dual-site doping strategy to employ synchronized TM and O redox with improved capacity and high structural stability via electronic and crystal structure modulation.

Abstract
Presodiation has shown great promise in compensating sodium storage losses. In the absence of a mechanistic understanding of how presodiation affects the surface of an electrode material, packaging optimization is restricted. Focusing on interfaces, we illustrate the working principle of presodiation in virtue of short-circuiting internal circuits. The presodiated carbon nanotubes (PS-CNTs) provide a thin, denser, and more robust solid electrolyte interfacial layer, enabling a high initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE), high power density, and cycling stability with the merits of uniformly distributed NaF. As a result, our assembled sodium-ion battery (SIB) full cell with PS-CNT has an ICE of 91.6% and an energy density of 226 Wh kg-1, which was superior to the pristine CNT control electrode (ICE of 42.9% and energy density of 163 Wh kg-1). The gained insights can be practically applied to directly promote the commercial uses of carbon-based materials in sodium-ion batteries.
