Abstract
Transition metal sulfides (TMSs) are considered as promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high theoretical capacities. However, the relatively low electrical conductivity, large volume variation, and easy aggregation/pulverization of active materials seriously hinder their practical application. Herein, okra-like NiS2/FeS2 particles encapsulated in multichannel N-doped carbon nanofibers (NiS2/FeS2@MCNFs) are fabricated by a coprecipitation, electrospinning, and carbonization/sulfurization strategy. The combined advantages arising from the hollow multichannel structure in carbon skeleton and heterogeneous NiS2/FeS2 particles with rich interfaces can provide facile ion/electron transfer paths, ensure boosted reaction kinetics, and help maintain the structural integrity, thereby resulting in a high reversible capacity (457 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1), excellent rate performance (350 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1), and outstanding long-term cycling stability (93.5% retention after 1100 cycles). This work provides a facile and efficient synthetic strategy to develop TMS-based heterostructured anode materials with high-rate and stable sodium storage properties.

Construction of MoB@LDH heterojunction and its derivates through phase and interface engineering for advanced supercapacitor applications. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 660:10-20. [PMID: 38241858 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.12.184] [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: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
Layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been attracted widespread attention in supercapacitor due to their unique layered structure and associated advantages. However, the inherent limitations of low electrical conductivity and reaction kinetics rate of LDH restrict its widespread application. Various modification techniques, such as heterojunction formation, phosphorization and introduction of phosphorus vacancies, are employed to modify LDH with the goal of improving the electrochemical performance. Preparation of composite materials using MoB MBene as conductive template and phosphorization are the effective ways for enhancing the electrical conductivity of electrode materials. MoB MBene is prepared using a modified method that combines NaOH etching and a high-temperature hydrothermal process. The presence of phosphorus vacancy is beneficial for enhancing the kinetics rate during electrode reactions. Through the synergistic effect of various modification methods, MP2 demonstrates an optimal electrochemical performance with a superior specific capacitance of 1731.19F/g (238.28 mAh g-1) at 1 A/g. It also demonstrates an impressive rate capacity of 81.28 % at 10 A/g and maintains a satisfactory capacitance retention of 88.14 % after 5000 cycles. In addition, a fabricated MP2//AC ASC device achieves an impressive energy density of 39.91 Wh kg-1 at the power density of 948.25 W kg-1 and demonstrates satisfactory cycling stability of 78.76 % after 5000 cycles. This work presents a comprehensive framework for analyzing the impact of material structure, components, and crystal phases on energy storage performance. It also examines the regulatory impact of different modification methods on energy storage mechanisms.

Abstract
Metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts obtained from zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have great potential in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, based on the same three-dimensional (3D) topological structure of ZIF-67 and ZIF-8, ZIF-67 is grown on the ZIF-8 surface by the epitaxial growth method, and ZIF-8 is used as a sacrificial template to obtain a Co-embedded layered porous carbon nanocage (CoPCN) electrocatalyst. Meanwhile, the self-sacrificing template effectively improves the specific surface area of the porous structure and reduces the depletion of active sites. The CoPCN shows a high half-wave potential of 0.885 V and superior stability as well as excellent methanol resistance. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the Co-N1-C2 sites of CoPCN effectively reduce the energy barrier of ORR. In addition, a zinc-air battery (ZAB) based on the CoPCN exhibits excellent peak power density (90 mW cm-2) and superior cycle performance. This work presents a novel idea in the design of ZIF precursor systems to synthesize efficient ORR catalysts.
