[PMID: 39032342 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103249] [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: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
Energy storage systems, particularly rechargeable batteries, play a crucial role in establishing a sustainable energy infrastructure. Today, researchers focus on improving battery energy density, cycling stability, and rate performance. This involves enhancing existing materials or creating new ones with advanced properties for cathodes and anodes to achieve peak battery performance. Graphene aerogels (GAs) possess extraordinary attributes, including a hierarchical porous and lightweight structure, high electrical conductivity, and robust mechanical stability. These qualities facilitate the uniform distribution of active sites within electrodes, mitigate volume changes during repeated cycling, and enhance overall conductivity. When integrated into batteries, GAs expedite electron/ion transport, offer exceptional structural stability, and deliver outstanding cycling performance. This review offers a comprehensive survey of the advancements in the preparation, functionalization, and modification of GAs in the context of battery research. It explores their application as electrodes and hosts for the dispersion of active material nanoparticles, resulting in the creation of hybrid electrodes for a wide range of rechargeable batteries including lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), Li-metal-air batteries, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) and zinc-air batteries (ZABs), aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) and aluminum-air batteries and other.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:1660. [PMID: 38612173 PMCID: PMC11012685 DOI: 10.3390/ma17071660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries have attracted a lot of attention owing to their cost effectiveness and plentiful resources, but less research has been conducted on the aspect of high volumetric energy density, which is crucial to the space available for the batteries in practical applications. In this work, highly crystalline V2O5 microspheres were self-assembled from one-dimensional V2O5 nanorod structures by a template-free solvothermal method, which were used as cathode materials for zinc-ion batteries with high performance, enabling fast ion transport, outstanding cycle stability and excellent rate capability, as well as a significant increase in tap density. Specifically, the V2O5 microspheres achieve a reversible specific capacity of 414.7 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, and show a long-term cycling stability retaining 76.5% after 3000 cycles at 2 A g-1. This work provides an efficient route for the synthesis of three-dimensional materials with stable structures, excellent electrochemical performance and high tap density.

Abstract
Aqueous potassium-ion batteries have garnered significant interest due to their eco-friendly characteristics and affordability. However, The suboptimal lifetime and restricted energy density of electrode materials present considerable obstacles to the advancement of aqueous potassium ion batteries. In this paper, we report a Ce doped MnO2 material (Ce-MnO2). Ce-MnO2 with large lattice spacing and abundant oxygen defects successfully triggered the intercalation pseudocapacitance behavior in aqueous potassium ion batteries. The intercalation pseudocapacitance mechanism gives MnO2 good capacity and enhanced stability. The Ce-MnO2 demonstrates a high discharge capacity of 120 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 with a low concentration electrolyte. It also has a capacity retention rate of 82.5% at 2000 cycles at 5 A g-1. The application of the intercalation pseudocapacitance mechanism offers a new approach to addressing the challenges associated with aqueous potassium-ion batteries.
