RSC Adv 2023; 13:34200-34209. [PMID: 38020019 PMCID: PMC10664190 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra07050f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries are currently being investigated as an attractive substitute for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries in large energy storage systems because of the more abundant and less expensive supply of Na than Li. However, the reversible capacity of Na-ions is limited because Na possesses a large ionic radius and has a higher standard electrode potential than that of Li, making it challenging to obtain electrode materials that are capable of storing large quantities of Na-ions. This study investigates the potential of CoFe2O4 synthesised via the molten salt method as an anode for Na-ion batteries. The obtained phase structure, morphology and charge and discharge properties of CoFe2O4 are thoroughly assessed. The synthesised CoFe2O4 has an octahedron morphology, with a particle size in the range of 1.1-3.6 μm and a crystallite size of ∼26 nm. Moreover, the CoFe2O4 (M800) electrodes can deliver a high discharge capacity of 839 mA h g-1 in the first cycle at a current density of 0.1 A g-1, reasonable cyclability of 98 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles and coulombic efficiency of ∼99%. The improved electrochemical performances of CoFe2O4 can be due to Na-ion-pathway shortening, wherein the homogeneity and small size of CoFe2O4 particles may enhance the Na-ion transportation. Therefore, this simple synthetic approach using molten salt favours the Na-ion diffusion and electron transport to a great extent and maximises the utilisation of CoFe2O4 as a potential anode material for Na-ion batteries.

Abstract
Li metal, because of its ultrahigh theoretical capacity, has attracted extensive attention. However, uncontrollable dendritic Li formation and infinite electrode dimensional variation hinder application of Li anodes. Herein, Zn,Co bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) were synthesized and further pyrolyzed to obtain Zn,Co-containing N-doped porous carbon nanocube (Zn/Co-N@PCN), which was further applied as lithiophilic host to construct the lithiated Zn/Co-N@PCN (Li-Zn/Co-N@PCN). Zn vapor produced many pores on the carbon framework during calcination process that could store enough Li and thus inhibit the huge electrode volume change. Additionally, there were abundant lithiophilic groups in Zn/Co-N@PCN, such as N- or Co/Zn-based species, which were beneficial to uniform Li deposition. Moreover, the stable and conductive carbon-based matrix could ensure superior and reproducible Li plating/stripping behavior in Zn/Co-N@PCN over cycling. As a result, the Li-Zn/Co-N@PCN anode showed a steady and high columbic efficiency of around 99.0 % for 600 cycles at 0.5 mA cm-2 . The Li-Zn/Co-N@PCN-based Li-O2 battery could continuously work beyond 200 cycles, superior to a cell with a Li-Cu anode. These results in this work provide a novel way for construction of the advanced Li-based anodes and the corresponding high-performance Li-O2 batteries.

Abstract
Currently, the development of the sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries has been accelerated to meet the energy demands of large-scale power applications. The difficulty of obtaining suitable electrode materials capable of storing large amount of Na-ion arises from the large radius of Na-ion that restricts its reversible capacity. Herein, Mn2O3 powders are synthesised through the thermal conversion of MnCO3 and reported for the first time as an anode for Na-ion batteries. The phase, morphology and charge/discharge characteristics of Mn2O3 obtained are evaluated systematically. The cubic-like Mn2O3 with particle sizes approximately 1.0–1.5 µm coupled with the formation of Mn2O3 sub-units on its surface create a positive effect on the insertion/deinsertion of Na-ion. Mn2O3 delivers a first discharge capacity of 544 mAh g−1 and retains its capacity by 85% after 200 cycles at 100 mA g−1, demonstrating the excellent cyclability of the Mn2O3 electrode. Therefore, this study provides a significant contribution towards exploring the potential of Mn2O3 as a promising anode in the development of Na-ion batteries.

Abstract
Herein, we have developed a facile and effective approach for synthesizing a novel kind of porous nitrogen-doped carbon-coated MnO nanosphere. The porous Mn2O3 nanospheres are initially obtained by the calcination treatment of a coordination self-assembled aggregation precursor (referred to as Mn(OAc)2-C-8). Then, MnO@N-doped carbon composites (MnO@NCs) are obtained by the calcination of the Mn2O3 nanospheres coated with polydopamine (Mn2O3@PDA). The MnO@NCs are evaluated as an anode for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), which exhibit high specific capacity, stable cycling performance (1096.6 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1) and high coulombic efficiency (about 99% over 100 cycles). The unique structure design and synergistic effect not only settle the challenges of low conductivity and poor cycling stability of transition metal oxides but also resolve the imperfection of inferior specific capacity of traditional graphite materials. Importantly, it may provide a commendable conception for developing new-fashioned anode materials to improve the lithium storage capability and electrochemical performance.
