By virtue of diverse structures and tunable properties, metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have presented extensive applications including gas capture, energy storage, and catalysis. Recently, synthesis of MOFs and their derived nanomaterials provide an opportunity to obtain competent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts due to their large surface area, controllable composition and pore structure. This review starts with the introduction of MOFs and current challenges of ORR, followed by the discussion of MOF‐based non‐precious metal nanocatalysts (metal‐free and metal/metal oxide‐based carbonaceous materials) and their application in ORR electrocatalysis. Current issues in MOF‐derived ORR catalysts and some corresponding strategies in terms of composition and morphology to enhance their electrocatalytic performance are highlighted. In the last section, a perspective for future development of MOFs and their derivatives as catalysts for ORR is discussed.  相似文献

Highly efficient hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) will determine the mass distributions of hydrogen‐powered clean technologies in the future. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as a class of crystalline porous materials. Along with their derivatives, MOFs have recently been under intense study for their applications in various hydrogen production techniques. MOF‐based materials possess unique advantages, such as high specific surface area, crystalline porous structure, diverse and tunable chemical components, which offer attractive functionalities in catalyzing hydrogen evolution processes, by lowering reaction potentials, and speeding up reaction rates. Considering the rapid increase in research interest in hydrogen evolution in the last several years, this review aims to summarize recent advances in MOF‐associated hydrogen evolution research, including electrocatalytic, photocatalytic, and chemocatalytic HER. Particular attention is paid to the design and utilization of postsynthetic modification of MOFs, MOF‐supported catalysts, and MOF derivatives for highly efficient HER. The opportunities and challenges for MOF‐based materials in a hydrogen‐powered clean future are also discussed.  相似文献

Benefiting from higher volumetric capacity, environmental friendliness and metallic dendrite‐free magnesium (Mg) anodes, rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are of great importance to the development of energy storage technology beyond lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). However, their practical applications are still limited by the absence of suitable electrode materials, the sluggish kinetics of Mg2+ insertion/extraction and incompatibilities between electrodes and electrolytes. Herein, a systematic and insightful review of recent advances in RMBs, including intercalation‐based cathode materials and conversion reaction‐based compounds is presented. The relationship between microstructures with their electrochemical performances is comprehensively elucidated. In particular, anode materials are discussed beyond metallic Mg for RMBs. Furthermore, other Mg‐based battery systems are also summarized, including Mg–air batteries, Mg–sulfur batteries, and Mg–iodine batteries. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of Mg‐based energy storage technology and could offer new strategies for designing high‐performance rechargeable magnesium batteries.  相似文献

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with intrinsically porous structures are promising candidates for energy storage, however, their low electrical conductivity limits their electrochemical energy storage applications. Herein, the hybrid architecture of intrinsically conductive Cu‐MOF nanowire arrays on self‐supported polypyrrole (PPy) membrane is reported for integrated flexible supercapacitor (SC) electrodes without any inactive additives, binders, or substrates involved. The conductive Cu‐MOFs nanowire arrays afford high conductivity and a sufficiently active surface area for the accessibility of electrolyte, whereas the PPy membrane provides decent mechanical flexibility, efficient charge transfer skeleton, and extra capacitance. The all‐solid‐state flexible SC using integrated hybrid electrode demonstrates an exceptional areal capacitance of 252.1 mF cm?2, an energy density of 22.4 µWh cm?2, and a power density of 1.1 mW cm?2, accompanied by an excellent cycle capability and mechanical flexibility over a wide range of working temperatures. This work not only presents a robust and flexible electrode for wide temperature range operating SC but also offers valuable concepts with regards to designing MOF‐based hybrid materials for energy storage and conversion systems.  相似文献

Two‐dimensional (2D) nanomaterials (i.e., graphene and its derivatives, transition metal oxides and transition metal dichalcogenides) are receiving a lot attention in energy storage application because of their unprecedented properties and great diversities. However, their re‐stacking or aggregation during the electrode fabrication process has greatly hindered their further developments and applications in rechargeable lithium batteries. Recently, rationally designed hierarchical structures based on 2D nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates in rechargeable lithium battery applications. Numerous synthetic strategies have been developed to obtain hierarchical structures and high‐performance energy storage devices based on these hierarchical structure have been realized. This review summarizes the synthesis and characteristics of three styles of hierarchical architecture, namely three‐dimensional (3D) porous network nanostructures, hollow nanostructures and self‐supported nanoarrays, presents the representative applications of hierarchical structured nanomaterials as functional materials for lithium ion batteries, lithium‐sulfur batteries and lithium‐oxygen batteries, meanwhile sheds light particularly on the relationship between structure engineering and improved electrochemical performance; and provides the existing challenges and the perspectives for this fast emerging field.  相似文献

Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) have been considered as the most promising candidate for large‐scale energy storage system owing to the economic efficiency resulting from abundant sodium resources, superior safety, and similar chemical properties to the commercial lithium‐ion battery. Despite the long period of academic research, how to realize sodium‐ion battery commercialization for market applications is still a great challenge. Thus, from the perspective of future practical application, this review will identify the factors that are restricting commercialization, and evaluate the existing active materials and sodium‐ion‐based full‐cell system. The design and development trends that are needed for SIBs to meet the requirements of practical applications in large‐scale energy storage will also be discussed in detail.  相似文献

The development of two‐dimensional (2D) materials is experiencing a renaissance since the adventure of graphene. 2D materials typically exhibit strong in‐plane covalent bonding and weak out‐of‐plane van der Waals interactions through the interlayer gap. Opening 2D materials is an effective way to alter the physical and chemical properties, such as band gap, conductivity, optical property, thermoelectric property, photovoltaic property and superconductivity. A larger interlayer distance means more accessible active sites for catalysis, an ion‐accessible surface in the interlayer space, which may greatly enhance the performance of 2D materials for energy conversion and storage. Moreover, opening 2D materials by intercalation can change the band filling state and the Fermi level. This review mainly focuses on the opening of 2D materials and their subsequent applications in energy conversion and storage fields, expecting to promote the development of such a new class of materials, namely expanded 2D materials. The exciting progresses of these expanded materials made in both energy conversion and storage devices including solar cells, thermoelectric devices, electrocatalyst, supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries, is presented and discussed in depth. Furthermore, prospects and further developments in these exciting fields of the expanded 2D materials are also commented.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Hydrogen is an appealing energy storage solution for electric vehicles due to its low environmental impact and faster recharge times compared to batteries. However, there are many engineering challenges involved in safely storing a sufficient amount of hydrogen onboard a vehicle with a reasonable volumetric density. Nanoporous materials such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have the potential to store hydrogen at high density and only moderate pressure. Considerable research has been devoted to finding new MOFs for hydrogen storage in recent years; however, a MOF that provides sufficient hydrogen density and is suitable to commercial applications has not yet been found. Much of this research makes use of molecular modelling to screen thousands of materials in a high-throughput way. Computational screening can be an effective tool for gaining insight into structure-performance relationships as well as finding specific candidates for an application. Recently, some research groups have also used machine learning to analyze data more effectively and accelerate the screening process. In this review, we discuss some recent advances in using molecular modelling and machine learning to find materials for hydrogen storage. We also discuss and compare some popular models for the hydrogen molecule and the accuracy of different equations of state, which are important considerations for accurate molecular simulations.  相似文献

The development of a feasible and inexpensive strategy to obtain and utilize sustainable energy is an important issue for the sustainable development of human society. Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in the development of novel functional materials for energy conversion and storage. Owing to their unique physico‐chemical properties, 2D layered materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, have attracted great interest in energy‐related research. 1T‐MoS2 is a metallic phase of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) with extraordinary electronic conductivity, enlarged interlayer spacing, and more electrochemically active sites along the basal plane, which offers intriguing benefits for energy‐related applications compared to its semiconducting counterpart (2H‐MoS2). This review summarizes the preparation and structure–property relationships of 1T‐MoS2, as well as the underlying relations between the metallic (1T) and semiconducting (2H) phases of MoS2. Recent progress in the preparation and stabilization of 1T‐MoS2 materials and their applications for energy conversion and storage are discussed, including water splitting to form hydrogen via photo/electrocatalysis and electricity storage in lithium‐ion batteries, sodium‐ion batteries, magnesium‐ion batteries, and supercapacitors. Optimization strategies of 1T‐MoS2 to obtain enhanced practical properties based on theoretical calculations are also presented.  相似文献

Electrochemical capacitors (best known as supercapacitors) are high‐performance energy storage devices featuring higher capacity than conventional capacitors and higher power densities than batteries, and are among the key enabling technologies of the clean energy future. This review focuses on performance enhancement of carbon‐based supercapacitors by doping other elements (heteroatoms) into the nanostructured carbon electrodes. The nanocarbon materials currently exist in all dimensionalities (from 0D quantum dots to 3D bulk materials) and show good stability and other properties in diverse electrode architectures. However, relatively low energy density and high manufacturing cost impede widespread commercial applications of nanocarbon‐based supercapacitors. Heteroatom doping into the carbon matrix is one of the most promising and versatile ways to enhance the device performance, yet the mechanisms of the doping effects still remain poorly understood. Here the effects of heteroatom doping by boron, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, fluorine, chlorine, silicon, and functionalizing with oxygen on the elemental composition, structure, property, and performance relationships of nanocarbon electrodes are critically examined. The limitations of doping approaches are further discussed and guidelines for reporting the performance of heteroatom doped nanocarbon electrode‐based electrochemical capacitors are proposed. The current challenges and promising future directions for clean energy applications are discussed as well.  相似文献

Emerging health monitoring bioelectronics require energy storage units with improved stretchability, biocompatibility, and self‐charging capability. Stretchable supercapacitors hold great potential for such systems due to their superior specific capacitances, power densities, and tissue‐conforming properties, as compared to both batteries and conventional capacitors. Despite the rapid progress that has been made in supercapacitor research, practical applications in health monitoring bioelectronics have yet to be achieved, requiring innovations in materials, device configurations, and fabrications tailored for such applications. In this review, the progress in stretchable supercapacitor‐powered health monitoring bioelectronics is summarized and the required specifications of supercapacitors for different types of application settings with varying demands on biocompatibility are discussed, including nontouching wearables, skin‐touching wearables, skin‐conforming wearables, and implantables. The perspective of this review is then broadened to focus on integration of stretchable supercapacitors in bioelectronics and aspects of energy harvesting and sensing. Finally further insights on the existing challenges in this developing field and potential solutions are provided.  相似文献

Lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) with outstanding energy and power density have been extensively investigated in recent years, rendering them the most suitable energy storage technology for application in emerging markets such as electric vehicles and stationary storage. More recently, sodium, one of the most abundant elements on earth, exhibiting similar physicochemical properties as lithium, has been gaining increasing attention for the development of sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) in order to address the concern about Li availability and cost—especially with regard to stationary applications for which size and volume of the battery are of less importance. Compared with traditional intercalation reactions, conversion reaction‐based transition metal oxides (TMOs) are prospective anode materials for rechargeable batteries thanks to their low cost and high gravimetric specific capacities. In this review, the recent progress and remaining challenges of conversion reactions for LIBs and SIBs are discussed, covering an overview about the different synthesis methods, morphological characteristics, as well as their electrochemical performance. Potential future research directions and a perspective toward the practical application of TMOs for electrochemical energy storage are also provided.  相似文献

The increasing demand for replacing conventional fossil fuels with clean energy or economical and sustainable energy storage drives better battery research today. Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) are considered as a promising alternative for grid‐scale storage applications due to their similar “rocking‐chair” sodium storage mechanism to lithium‐ion batteries, the natural abundance, and the low cost of Na resources. Searching for appropriate electrode materials with acceptable electrochemical performance is the key point for development of SIBs. Layered transition metal oxides represent one of the most fascinating electrode materials owing to their superior specific capacity, environmental benignity, and facile synthesis. However, three major challenges (irreversible phase transition, storage instability, and insufficient battery performance) are known for cathodes in SIBs. Herein, a comprehensive review on the latest advances and progresses in the exploration of layered oxides for SIBs is presented, and a detailed and deep understanding of the relationship of phase transition, air stability, and electrochemical performance in layered oxide cathodes is provided in terms of refining the structure–function–property relationship to design improved battery materials. Layered oxides will be a competitive and attractive choice as cathodes for SIBs in next‐generation energy storage devices.  相似文献

Conductive 2D metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have merits beyond traditional MOFs for electrochemical applications, but reports on using MOFs as electrodes for electrochemical microsupercapacitors (MSCs) are practically non‐existent. In this work, a Ni‐catecholate‐based MOF (Ni‐CAT MOF) having good conductivity and exhibiting redox chemistry in the positive and negative voltage windows is developed. A novel process is developed to selectively grow the conductive Ni‐CAT MOF on 3D laser scribed graphene (LSG). The LSG with its superior wettability serves as a functional matrix‐current collector for the hybridization of conductive Ni‐CAT MOF nanocrystals. Impressively, MSCs fabricated using the hybrid LSG/Ni‐CAT MOF show significant improvement compared with MOF‐free LSG electrodes. Specifically, the LSG/Ni‐CAT MOF electrodes can deliver MSCs with a wide operating voltage (1.4 V), high areal capacitance (15.2 mF cm?2), energy density (4.1 µWh cm?2), power density (7 mW cm?2), good rate performance, and decent cycling stability. This work opens up an avenue for developing electrochemical microsupercapacitors using conductive MOF electrodes.  相似文献

Zinc‐based batteries have a high capacity and are safe, cost‐effective, environmentally‐friendly, and capable of scalable production. However, dendrite formation and poor reversibility hinder their performance. Metal‐organic framework (MOF)‐based Zn anodes are made by wet chemistry to address these issues. These MOF‐based anodes exhibit high efficiency during Zn plating‐stripping and prevent dendrite formation, as shown by ex situ SEM analysis. The practicality of the MOF‐based anodes is demonstrated in aqueous Zn ion batteries, which show improved performance including specific capacity, cycle life, and safety relative to the pristine Zn anode due to their hydrophilic and porous surface. These results, along with the easy scalability of the process, demonstrate the high potential of MOF‐modified Zn anodes for use in dendrite‐free, higher‐performance, Zn‐based energy storage systems.  相似文献

Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) are now being actively developed as low cost and sustainable alternatives to lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) for large‐scale electric energy storage applications. In recent years, various inorganic and organic Na compounds, mostly mimicked from their Li counterparts, have been synthesized and tested for SIBs, and some of them indeed demonstrate comparable specific capacity to the presently developed LIB electrodes. However, the lack of suitable cathode materials is still a major obstacle to the commercial development of SIBs. Here, we present a brief review on the recent developments of SIB cathodes, with a focus on low cost and high energy density materials (> 450 Wh kg?1 vs Na) together with discussion of their Na‐storage mechanisms. The considerable differences in the structural requirements for Li‐ and Na‐storage reactions mean that it is not sufficient to design SIB cathode materials by simply mimicking LIB materials, and therefore great efforts are needed to discover new materials and reaction mechanisms to further develop variable cathodes for advanced SIB technology. Some directions for future research and possible strategies for building advanced cathode materials are also proposed here.  相似文献

Since the first report of using micromechanical cleavage method to produce graphene sheets in 2004, graphene/graphene‐based nanocomposites have attracted wide attention both for fundamental aspects as well as applications in advanced energy storage and conversion systems. In comparison to other materials, graphene‐based nanostructured materials have unique 2D structure, high electronic mobility, exceptional electronic and thermal conductivities, excellent optical transmittance, good mechanical strength, and ultrahigh surface area. Therefore, they are considered as attractive materials for hydrogen (H2) storage and high‐performance electrochemical energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors, rechargeable lithium (Li)‐ion batteries, Li–sulfur batteries, Li–air batteries, sodium (Na)‐ion batteries, Na–air batteries, zinc (Zn)–air batteries, and vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB), etc., as they can improve the efficiency, capacity, gravimetric energy/power densities, and cycle life of these energy storage devices. In this article, recent progress reported on the synthesis and fabrication of graphene nanocomposite materials for applications in these aforementioned various energy storage systems is reviewed. Importantly, the prospects and future challenges in both scalable manufacturing and more energy storage‐related applications are discussed.  相似文献

The demand for electrochemical energy storage technologies is rapidly increasing due to the proliferation of renewable energy sources and the emerging markets of grid‐scale battery applications. The properties of batteries are ideal for most electrical energy storage (EES) needs, yet, faced with resource constraints, the ability of current lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) to match this overwhelming demand is uncertain. Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) are a novel class of batteries with similar performance characteristics to LIBs. Since they are composed of earth‐abundant elements, cheaper and utility scale battery modules can be assembled. As a result of the learning curve in the LIB technology, a phenomenal progression in material development has been realized in the SIB technology. In this review, innovative strategies used in SIB material development, and the electrochemical properties of anode, cathode, and electrolyte combinations are elucidated. Attractive performance characteristics are herein evidenced, based on comparative gravimetric and volumetric energy densities to state‐of‐the‐art LIBs. In addition, opportunities and challenges toward commercialization are herein discussed based on patent data trend analysis. With extensive industrial adaptations expected, the commercial prospects of SIBs look promising and this once discarded technology is set to play a major role in EES applications.  相似文献
