[PMID: 39265334 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.09.072] [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: 05/26/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 09/07/2024] [Indexed: 09/14/2024]
Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have emerged as the research hotspot due to their compelling merits, including high specific capacity (1675 mAh g-1), theoretical energy density (2600 Wh kg-1), environmental friendliness, and economic advantages. However, challenges still exist for further application due to their inherent issues such as the natural insulation, shuttle effect, and volume expansion of sulfur cathode during the continuous cycle processes. These factors obstruct the lithium ions (Li+) transfer process and sulfur utilization, resulting in significant impedance and inducing inferior battery performance. Herein, the core-shell nanocube anchoring ruthenium atoms and dicobalt phosphate (Ru@Co2P@NC) were fabricated as the effective catalyst and inhibited barrier for LSBs. On the one hand, the core-shell structure offers numerous channels to expedite Li+ diffusion. On the other hand, ruthenium (Ru) and dicobalt phosphate (Co2P) active sites facilitate the chemical capture of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), accelerating sluggish kinetics. Ru@Co2P@NC modified cells not only exhibited a high initial specific capacity (1609.35 mAh g-1) at 0.5C and enduring stability with high specific capacity retention of 906.60 mAh g-1 at 0.5C after 400 cycles but also possessed low capacity attenuation rate of 0.07 % per cycle after 600 cycles (1C, Sulfur loading: 1.2 mg). Interestingly, the modified cells demonstrated a high specific capacity and long-cycle stability with high sulfur loading (from 1.984 to 3.137 mg), which provides a promising research approach for high-performance LSBs.

Organic polymer coating induced multiple heteroatom-doped carbon framework confined Co 1-xS@NPSC core-shell hexapod for advanced sodium/potassium ion batteries.

Abstract
Synthesis of advanced structure and multiple heteroatom-doped carbon based heterostructure materials are the key to the preparation of high-performance energy storage electrode materials. Herein, the hexapod-shaped Co1-xS@NPSC has been triumphantly prepared using hexapod ZIF-67 as the sacrificial template to prepare Co1-xS inner core and N, P, and S tri-doped carbon (NPSC) as the shell through the carbonization of the organic polymer precursor. When applied as anode for Na+ batteries (SIBs) and K+ batteries (PIBs), Co1-xS@NPSC presents the high reversible specific capability of 747.4 mAh/g at 1.0 A/g after 235 cycles and 387.8 mAh/g at 5.0 A/g after 760 cycles for SIBs, as well as 326.7 mAh/g at 1.0 A/g after 180 cycles for PIBs. The excellent storage capacity and rate capability of Co1-xS@NPSC is ascribed to hexapod structure of ZIF-67 unlike the common dodecahedron, which is constructed with interior porous and exterior framework repository, donating supplemental active sites, and doping of multiple heteroatoms forming organic polymer coating inhibiting the volume expansion and restrains the agglomeration of Co1-xS nanoparticles. This approach has paved a bright avenue to exploit promising anode materials with novel structure and hetero-atom doping for high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
As a pioneering battery technology, even though sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are safe, non-flammable, and capable of exhibiting better temperature endurance performance than lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), because of lower energy density and larger ionic size, they are not amicable for large-scale applications. Generally, the electrochemical storage performance of a secondary battery can be improved by monitoring the composition and morphology of electrode materials. Because more is the intricacy of a nanostructured composite electrode material, more electrochemical storage applications would be expected. Despite the conventional methods suitable for practical production, the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) would offer enormous opportunities for next-generation battery applications by delicately systematizing the structure and composition at the molecular level to store sodium ions with larger sizes compared with lithium ions. Here, the review comprehensively discusses the progress of nanostructured MOFs and their derivatives applied as negative and positive electrode materials for effective sodium storage in SIBs. The commercialization goal has prompted the development of MOFs and their derivatives as electrode materials, before which the synthesis and mechanism for MOF-based SIB electrodes with improved sodium storage performance are systematically discussed. Finally, the existing challenges, possible perspectives, and future opportunities will be anticipated.

Abstract
The sluggish kinetics of oxygen electrocatalysis reactions on cathodes significantly suppresses the energy efficiency of zinc-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, by coupling in situ generated CoS nanoparticles rich in cobalt vacancies (VCo) with a dual-heteroatom-doped layered carbon framework, a hybrid Co-based catalyst (Co1-xS@N/S-C) is designed and synthesized from Co-MOF precursor. Experimental analyses, together with density functional theory (DFT)-based calculations, demonstrate that the facilitated ion diffusion enabled by the introduced VCo, together with the enhanced electron transport benefiting from the well-designed dual-heteroatom-doped laminated carbon framework, synergistically boost the bifunctional electrocatalytic activity of Co1-xS@N/S-C (ΔE = 0.76 V), which is much superior to that of CoS@N/S-C without VCo (ΔE = 0.89 V), CoS without VCo (ΔE = 1.23 V), and the dual-heteroatom-doped laminated carbon framework. As expected, the further assembled ZAB employing Co1-xS@N/S-C as the cathode electrocatalyst exhibits enhanced energy efficiency in terms of better cycling stability (510 cycles/170 hours) and a higher specific capacity (807 mA h g-1). Finally, a flexible/stretched solid state micro-ZAB (F/SmZAB) with Co1-xS@N/S-C as the cathode electrocatalyst and a wave-shaped GaIn-Ni-based liquid metal as the electronic circuit is further designed, which can display excellent electrical properties and long elongation. This work provides a new defect and structure coupling strategy for boosting the oxide electrolysis activities of Co-based catalysts. Furthermore, F/SmZAB represents a promising solution for a compatible micropower source in wearable microelectronics.
