Abstract
In this study, cuboid-like anhydrous CoC2 O4 particles (CoC2 O4 -HK) are synthesized through a potassium citrate-assisted hydrothermal method, which possess well-crystallized structure for fast Li+ transportation and efficient Li+ intercalation pseudocapacitive behaviors. When being used in lithium-ion batteries, the as-prepared CoC2 O4 -HK delivers a high reversible capacity (≈1360 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ), good rate capability (≈650 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 ) and outstanding cycling stability (835 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1 ). Characterizations illustrate that the Li+ -intercalation pseudocapacitance dominates the charge storage of CoC2 O4 -HK electrode, together with the reversible reaction of CoC2 O4 +2Li+ +2e- →Co+Li2 C2 O4 on discharging and charging. In addition, CoC2 O4 -HK particles are also used together with carbon-sulfur composite materials as the electrocatalysts for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery, which displays a gratifying sulfur electrochemistry with a high reversibility of 1021.5 mAh g-1 at 2 C and a low decay rate of 0.079% per cycle after 500 cycles. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that CoC2 O4 /C can regulate the adsorption-activation of reaction intermediates and therefore boost the catalytic conversion of polysulfides. Therefore, this work presents a new prospect of applying CoC2 O4 as the high-performance electrode materials for rechargeable Li-ion and Li-S batteries.

Rod-like Ni 0.5Co 0.5C 2O 4·2H 2O in-situ formed on rGO by an interface induced engineering: Extraordinary rate and cycle performance as an anode in lithium-ion and sodium-ion half/full cells. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 607:1153-1162. [PMID: 34571302 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.09.066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 09/09/2021] [Accepted: 09/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Transition metal oxalates have attracted wide attention due to the characteristics of the conversion reaction as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), However, there are huge volume expansion and sluggish circulation dynamics during the reversible Li+ and Na+ insertion/extraction process, which would lead to unsatisfactory reversible capacity and stability. In order to solve these problems, a rod-like structure Ni0.5Co0.5C2O4·2H2O is in-situ formed on the reduced graphene oxide layer (Ni0.5Co0.5C2O4·2H2O/rGO) in a glycol-water mixture medium via an interface induced engineering strategy. Benefitting from the synergistic cooperation of nano-diameter rod-like structure and high conductive rGO networks, the experimental results show that the prepared Ni0.5Co0.5C2O4·2H2O/rGO electrode has predominant rate performance and ultra-long cycle stability. For the LIBs, it not only exhibits an ultrahigh reversible capacity (1179.9 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 after 300 cycles), but also presents outstanding rate and cycling performance (646.5 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 1200 cycles). Besides, the Ni0.5Co0.5C2O4·2H2O/rGO electrode displays remarkable sodium storage capacity of 221.6 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.5 A g-1. Further, the extraordinary electrochemical capability of Ni0.5Co0.5C2O4·2H2O/rGO active material is also reflected in two full-cells, assembled using commercial LiCoO2 as cathode for LIBs and commercial Na3V2(PO4)3 as cathode for SIBs, both of which can show wonderful specific capacity and cycling stability. It is found in in-situ Raman experiments that the reversible changes of oxalate peaks are monitored in a charge/discharge process, which is scientific evidence for the transform reaction mechanism of metal oxalates in LIBs. These findings not only provide important ideas for studying the charge/discharge storage mechanism but also give scientific basis for the design of high-performance electrode materials.

Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have found a potential application in various domains such as gas storage/separation, drug delivery, catalysis, etc. Recently, they have found considerable attention for energy storage applications such as Li- and Na-ion batteries. However, the development of MOFs is plagued by their limited energy density that arises from high molecular weight and low volumetric density. The choice of ligand plays a crucial role in determining the performance of the MOFs. Here, we report a nickel-based one-dimensional metal-organic framework, NiC4H2O4, built from bidentate fumarate ligands for anode application in Li-ion batteries. The material was obtained by a simple chimie douce precipitation method using nickel acetate and fumaric acid. Moreover, a composite material of the MOF with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was prepared to enhance the lithium storage performance as the rGO can enhance the electronic conductivity. Electrochemical lithium storage in the framework and the effect of rGO on the performance have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge measurements, and EIS studies. The pristine nickel formate encounters serious capacity fading while the rGO composite offers good cycling stability with high reversible capacities of over 800 mAh g−1.

Abstract
Metal oxalate has become a most promising candidate as an anode material for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. However, capacity decrease owing to the volume expansion of the active material during cycling is a problem. Herein, a rod-like CoC2 O4 ⋅2 H2 O/rGO hybrid is fabricated through a novel multistep solvo/hydrothermal strategy. The structural characteristics of the CoC2 O4 ⋅2 H2 O microrod wrapped using rGO sheets not only inhibit the volume variation of the hybrid electrode during cycling, but also accelerate the transfer of electrons and ions in the 3 D graphene network, thereby improving the electrochemical properties of CoC2 O4 ⋅2 H2 O. The CoC2 O4 ⋅2 H2 O/rGO electrode delivers a specific capacity of 1011.5 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 200 cycles for lithium storage, and a high capacity of 221.1 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 100 cycles for sodium storage. Moreover, the full cell CoC2 O4 ⋅2 H2 O/rGO//LiCoO2 consisting of the CoC2 O4 ⋅2 H2 O/rGO anode and LiCoO2 cathode maintains 138.1 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.2 A g-1 and has superior long-cycle stability. In addition, in situ Raman spectroscopy and in situ and ex situ X-ray diffraction techniques provide a unique opportunity to understand fully the reaction mechanism of CoC2 O4 ⋅2 H2 O/rGO. This work also gives a new perspective and solid research basis for the application of metal oxalate materials in high-performance lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging power sources for the replacement of lithium-ion batteries. Recent studies have focused on the development of electrodes and electrolytes, with thick glass fiber separators (~380 μm) generally adopted. In this work, we introduce a new thin (~50 μm) cellulose–polyacrylonitrile–alumina composite as a separator for SIBs. The separator exhibits excellent thermal stability with no shrinkage up to 300°C and electrolyte uptake with a contact angle of 0°. The sodium ion transference number, tNa+, of the separator is measured to be 0.78, which is higher than that of bare cellulose (tNa+: 0.31). These outstanding physical properties of the separator enable the long-term operation of NaCrO2 cathode/hard carbon anode full cells in a conventional carbonate electrolyte, with capacity retention of 82% for 500 cycles. Time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectroscopy analysis reveals the additional role of the Al2O3 coating, which is transformed into AlF3 upon long-term cycling owing to HF scavenging. Our findings will open the door to the use of cellulose-based functional separators for high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Owing to the synergy between metals, trimetal oxalate micropolyhedrons have been synthesized by means of a room-temperature coprecipitation strategy. The effect of their nanoscale size on their electrochemical performance toward glucose oxidation was investigated. In particular, the Co0.5 Mn0.1 Ni0.4 C2 O4 ⋅n H2 O micropolyhedrons illustrated prominent electrocatalytic activity for the glucose oxidation reaction. Additionally, the Co0.5 Mn0.1 Ni0.4 C2 O4 ⋅n H2 O micropolyhedrons, when used as an electrode material, illustrated an excellent lower limit of detection (1.5 μm), a wide detection concentration range (0.5-5065.5 μm), and a high sensitivity (493.5 μA mm-1 cm-2 ). Further analysis indicated that the effectively improved conductivity may have been due to the small size of the materials, and it was easier to form a flat film when Nafion was coated onto the glassy carbon electrode.

Abstract
Metal selenides have caused widespread concern due to their high theoretical capacities and appropriate working potential; however, they suffer from large volume variation during cycling and low electrical conductivity, which limit their practical applications. In this article, a three-dimensional (3D) porous carbon framework embedded with homogeneous FeSe2 nanoparticles (3D porous FeSe2/C composite) was synthesized by a facile calcined approach, following a selenized method without a template. As the uniformity of FeSe2 nanoparticles and 3D porous structure are beneficial to accommodate volume stress upon cycling and shorten electrons/ions transport path, associated with carbon as a buffer matrix for increasing conductivity, the 3D porous FeSe2/C composite displays excellent electrochemical properties with high reversible capacities of 798.4 and 455.0 mA h g-1 for lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries, respectively, when the current density is 100 mA g-1 after 100 cycles. In addition, the as-prepared composite exhibits good cycling stability as compared to bare FeSe2 nanoparticles. Therefore, the facile synthetic strategy in the current work provides a new perspective in constructing a high-performance anode.
