Abstract
Broad adoption has already been started of MXene materials in various energy storage technologies, such as super-capacitors and batteries, due to the increasing versatility of the preparation methods, as well as the ongoing discovery of new members. The essential requirements for an excellent anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are high safety, minimal volume expansion during the lithiation/de-lithiation process, high cyclic stability, and high Li+ storage capability. However, most of the anode materials for LIBs, such as graphite, SnO2, Si, Al, and Li4Ti5O12, have at least one issue. Hence, creating novel anode materials continues to be difficult. To date, a few MXenes have been investigated experimentally as anodes of LIBs due to their distinct active voltage windows, large power capabilities, and longer cyclic life. The objective of this review paper is to provide an overview of the synthesis and characterization characteristics of the MXenes as anode materials of LIBs, including their discharge/charge capacity, rate performance, and cycle ability. In addition, a summary of the potential outlook for developments of these materials as anodes is provided.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 650:892-900. [PMID: 37450978 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.07.004] [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: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 06/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/02/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
Research and development of flexible electrodes with high performance are crucial to largely determine the performance of flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs) to a large extent. In this work, a flexible anode (TiO2 NRs-MoS2 NSFs/CC) is rationally designed and successfully constructed, in which TiO2 nanorods arrays (NRs) vertically grown on CC as a supporting backbone for MoS2 nanosheets flowers (NSFs) to form a TiO2 NRs-MoS2 NSFs heterostructure. The backbone can not only serve as a mechanical support MoS2 and improve its electronic conductivity, but also limit the dissolution of polysulfides issue during cycling. The density functional theory (DFT) analysis manifests that the obvious interaction between O and S at the interface for the TiO2 NRs-MoS2 NSFs heterostructure changes the electronic structure and reduces the band gap of TiO2 NRs-MoS2 NSFs. The small band gap and high electron state at the Fermi level are both beneficial to the transport of electrons, enhancing the kinetics, and giving the long cycling stability at high density and excellent rate capacity. Furthermore, the assembled TiO2 NRs-MoS2 NSFs/CC//NCM622 full cell delivers superior rate capacity and good cycling stability. Meanwhile, the soft-packed cell shows good mechanical flexibility, which can be lighted up successfully and keep brightness when folding with different angles. This result illustrates that it is a highly potential strategy for constructing flexible electrodes with the controlled electronic structure through band engineering to not only improve the electrochemical performance, but also possibly meet the requirements of high-performance FLIBs.

Abstract
High efficient and durable catalysts are always needed to lower the kinetic barriers as well as prolong the service life associated with oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, a sequential synthetic strategy is considered to prepare a hierarchical nanostructure, in which each component can be configured to achieve their full potential so that endows the resulting nanocatalyst a good overall performance. In order to realize this, well-organized cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanopillars are firstly grown onto ultrathin 1T-molybdenum sulfide (1T-MoS2) to obtain high surface area electrocatalyst, providing electron transfer pathways and structural stability. After that, zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) derived carbonization film is further in situ deposited on the surface of nanopillars to generate plentiful active sites, thereby accelerating OER kinetics. Based on the combination of different components, the electron transfer capability, catalytic activity and durability are optimized and fully implemented. The obtained nanocatalyst (defined as 1T-MoS2/Co3O4/CN) exhibits the superior OER catalytic ability with the overpotential of 202 mV and Tafel slope of 57 mV·dec-1 at 10 mA·cm-2 in 0.1 M KOH, and good durability with a minor chronoamperometric decay of 9.15 % after 60,000 s of polarization.

Abstract
The design and development of new and light weight two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures as anode materials to enhance the electrochemical properties for Li-ion batteries (LIB's) is a challenge. In this work, using first-principles study, we have demonstrated that the ratio of two-dimensional polyaniline (C3N) and graphene in the multilayer heterostructures plays a major role to define the Li storage properties and to provide metallicity for easy conduction of electrons. We have found that charge transfer between Li and the host depends on the interface and site, which helps in the improvement in specific capacity. The proposed heterostructures shows specific capacity varies from 558 mAh/gm to 423 mAh/gm. The specific capacity is high for heterostructures with more graphene in ratio which is correlated to higher charge accumulation in the host. Also, graphene helps to minimize the open-circuit voltage (OCV) of C3N and maintained an average of 0.4 V. The volume expansion for fully lithiated heterostructures is within 22 %. Li diffusion barrier energy varies in the range of 0.57 to 0.25 eV. The proposed 2D heterostructures could be a future material for anode in LIB's and the description of the interface effect on Li storage properties will help for further development of 2D heterostructure materials.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials with abundant resources, environmental friendliness and recyclability play a crucial role in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the inferior electrical conductivity and unsatisfactory long-term cycling performance seriously impede their large-scale application in LIBs. Herein, a novel salen-based porous framework polymer (SPP) with a large conjugated skeleton was constructed and utilized as anode for LIBs. Owing to its unique architecture with a large conjugated skeleton facilitating the electron transport, rich pores accelerating the organic electrolyte infiltration, and stable skeleton structure improving the long-term cycling performance, SPP delivered a high specific capacity of 337 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C (1 C=250 mA g-1 ) after 100 cycles, and robust rate capacity of 95.5 mA h g-1 at 32 C. Importantly, an impressive long-term cycling performance with a storage capacity of 155.7 mA h g-1 at 8 C after 4000 cycles was obtained, showing a durable cyclic stability of SPP. Furthermore, the lithium storage mechanism of SPP was evaluated by ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, manifesting that the multiple active sites of C=N, -OH, and benzene ring were responsible for the superior lithium storage performance. The novel SPP presented in this work should be a promising organic electrode for energy storage applications.
