A New Spinel‐Layered Li‐Rich Microsphere as a High‐Rate Cathode Material for Li‐Ion Batteries

Li‐rich layered materials are considered to be the promising low‐cost cathodes for lithium‐ion batteries but they suffer from poor rate capability despite of efforts toward surface coating or foreign dopings. Here, spinel‐layered Li‐rich Li‐Mn‐Co‐O microspheres are reported as a new high‐rate cathode material for Li‐ion batteries. The synthetic procedure is relatively simple, involving the formation of uniform carbonate precursor under solvothermal conditions and its subsequent transformation to an assembled microsphere that integrates a spinel‐like component with a layered component by a heat treatment. When calcined at 700 °C, the amount of transition metal Mn and Co in the Li‐Mn‐Co‐O microspheres maintained is similar to at 800 °C, while the structures of constituent particles partially transform from 2D to 3D channels. As a consequence, when tested as a cathode for lithium‐ion batteries, the spinel‐layered Li‐rich Li‐Mn‐Co‐O microspheres obtained at 700 °C show a maximum discharge capacity of 185.1 mA h g^?1 at a very high current density of 1200 mA g^?1 between 2.0 and 4.6 V. Such a capacity is among the highest reported to date at high charge‐discharge rates. Therefore, the present spinel‐layered Li‐rich Li‐Mn‐Co‐O microspheres represent an attractive alternative to high‐rate electrode materials for lithium‐ion batteries.     

Silica Restricting the Sulfur Volatilization of Nickel Sulfide for High‐Performance Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Nickel sulfides are regarded as promising anode materials for advanced rechargeable lithium‐ion batteries due to their high theoretical capacity. However, capacity fade arising from significant volume changes during operation greatly limits their practical applications. Herein, confined NiS_x@C yolk–shell microboxes are constructed to address volume changes and confine the active material in the internal void space. Having benefited from the yolk–shell structure design, the prepared NiS_x@C yolk–shell microboxes display excellent electrochemical performance in lithium‐ion batteries. Particularly, it delivers impressive cycle stability (460 mAh g^?1 after 2000 cycles at 1 A g^?1) and superior rate performance (225 mAh g^?1 at 20 A g^?1). Furthermore, the lithium storage mechanism is ascertained with in situ synchrotron high‐energy X‐ray diffractions and in situ electrochemical impedance spectra. This unique confined yolk–shell structure may open up new strategies to create other advanced electrode materials for high performance electrochemical storage systems.     

Sulfur/Oxygen Codoped Porous Hard Carbon Microspheres for High‐Performance Potassium‐Ion Batteries

Potassium‐ion batteries (KIBs) are very promising alternatives to lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) for large‐scale energy storage. However, traditional carbon anode materials usually show poor performance in KIBs due to the large size of K ions. Herein, a carbonization‐etching strategy is reported for making a class of sulfur (S) and oxygen (O) codoped porous hard carbon microspheres (PCMs) material as a novel anode for KIBs through pyrolysis of the polymer microspheres (PMs) composed of a liquid crystal/epoxy monomer/thiol hardener system. The as‐made PCMs possess a porous architecture with a large Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area (983.2 m² g^?1), an enlarged interlayer distance (0.393 nm), structural defects induced by the S/O codoping and also amorphous carbon nature. These new features are important for boosting potassium ion storage, allowing the PCMs to deliver a high potassiation capacity of 226.6 mA h g^?1 at 50 mA g^?1 over 100 cycles and be displaying high stability by showing a potassiation capacity of 108.4 mA h g^?1 over 2000 cycles at 1000 mA g^?1. The density functional theory calculations demonstrate that S/O codoping not only favors the adsorption of K to the PCMs electrode but also reduces its structural deformation during the potassiation/depotassiation. The present work highlights the important role of hierarchical porosity and S/O codoping in potassium storage.     

Formation of Uniform N‐doped Carbon‐Coated SnO2 Submicroboxes with Enhanced Lithium Storage Properties

Rational design and preparation of SnO₂‐based materials with superior electrochemical performance for lithium‐ion batteries are highly desirable. In this work, the synthesis of SnO₂/nitrogen‐doped carbon (SnO₂/NC) submicroboxes with excellent lithium storage properties is reported. The as‐synthesized SnO₂/NC submicroboxes are highly porous with a high specific surface area of 125 m² g^?1, well‐defined hollow structure (around 400 nm in size) with a shell thickness of 40 nm, and ultrasmall SnO₂ nanoparticles uniformly coated with nitrogen‐doped carbon layer. As a result, the SnO₂/NC submicroboxes show outstanding electrochemical performance as an anode material for lithium‐ion batteries. A high reversible capacity of 491 mAh g^?1 can be retained after 100 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A g^?1.     

An Ion‐Exchange Promoted Phase Transition in a Li‐Excess Layered Cathode Material for High‐Performance Lithium Ion Batteries

A new approach to intentionally induce phase transition of Li‐excess layered cathode materials for high‐performance lithium ion batteries is reported. In high contrast to the limited layered‐to‐spinel phase transformation that occurred during in situ electrochemical cycles, a Li‐excess layered Li[Li_0.2Mn_0.54Ni_0.13Co_0.13]O₂ is completely converted to a Li₄Mn₅O₁₂‐type spinel product via ex situ ion‐exchanges and a post‐annealing process. Such a layered‐to‐spinel phase conversion is examined using in situ X‐ray diffraction and in situ high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy. It is found that generation of sufficient lithium ion vacancies within the Li‐excess layered oxide plays a critical role for realizing a complete phase transition. The newly formed spinel material exhibits initial discharge capacities of 313.6, 267.2, 204.0, and 126.3 mAh g^?1 when cycled at 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 5 C (1 C = 250 mA g^?1), respectively, and can retain a specific capacity of 197.5 mAh g^?1 at 1 C after 100 electrochemical cycles, demonstrating remarkably improved rate capability and cycling stability in comparison with the original Li‐excess layered cathode materials. This work sheds light on fundamental understanding of phase transitions within Li‐excess layered oxides. It also provides a novel route for tailoring electrochemical performance of Li‐excess layered cathode materials for high‐capacity lithium ion batteries.

High‐performance and lost‐cost lithium‐ion and sodium‐ion batteries are highly desirable for a wide range of applications including portable electronic devices, transportation (e.g., electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, etc.), and renewable energy storage systems. Great research efforts have been devoted to developing alternative anode materials with superior electrochemical properties since the anode materials used are closely related to the capacity and safety characteristics of the batteries. With the theoretical capacity of 2596 mA h g^?1, phosphorus is considered to be the highest capacity anode material for sodium‐ion batteries and one of the most attractive anode materials for lithium‐ion batteries.

Pseudo‐Zn–Air and Zn‐Ion Intercalation Dual Mechanisms to Realize High‐Areal Capacitance and Long‐Life Energy Storage in Aqueous Zn Battery

Aqueous zinc batteries are considered as promising alternatives to lithium ion batteries owing to their low cost and high safety. However, the developments of state‐of‐the‐art zinc‐ion batteries (ZIB) and zinc–air batteries (ZAB) are limited by the unsatisfied capacities and poor cycling stabilities, respectively. It is of significance in utilizing the long‐cycle life of ZIB and high capacity of ZAB to exploit advanced energy storage systems. Herein, a bulk composite of graphene oxide and vanadium oxide (V₅O₁₂·6H₂O) as cathode material for aqueous Zn batteries in a mild electrolyte is employed. The battery performance is demonstrated to arise from a combination of the reversible cations insertion/extraction in vanadium oxide and especially the electrochemical redox reactions on the surface functional groups of graphene oxide (named as pseudo‐Zn–air mechanism). Along with adjusting the hydroxyl content on the surface of graphene oxide, the specific capacity is significantly increased from 342 mAh g^?1 to a maximum of 496 mAh g^?1 at 100 mA g^?1. The surface‐controlled kinetics occurring in the bulk composite ensure a high areal capacity of 10.6 mAh cm^?2 at a mass loading of 26.5 mg cm^?2, and a capacity retention of 84.7% over 10 000 cycles at a high current density of 10 A g^?1.     

All‐Manganese‐Based Binder‐Free Stretchable Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced electrode materials with bendability and stretchability are critical for the rapid development of fully flexible/stretchable lithium‐ion batteries. However, the sufficiently stretchable lithium‐ion battery is still underdeveloped that is one of the biggest challenges preventing from realizing fully deformable power sources. Here, a low‐temperature hydrothermal synthesis of a cathode material for stretchable lithium‐ion battery is reported by the in situ growth of LiMn₂O₄ (LMO) nanocrystals inside 3D carbon nanotube (CNT) film networks. The LMO/CNT film composite has demonstrated the chemical bonding between the LMO active materials and CNT scaffolds, which is the most important characteristic of the stretchable electrodes. When coupled with a wrinkled MnO_x /CNT film anode, a binder‐free, all‐manganese‐based stretchable full battery cell is assembled which delivers a high average specific capacity of ≈97 mA h g^?1 and stabilizes after over 300 cycles with an enormous strain of 100%. Furthermore, combining with other merits such as low cost, natural abundance, and environmentally friendly, the all‐manganese design is expected to accelerate the practical applications of stretchable lithium‐ion batteries for fully flexible and biomedical electronics.     

Ethylene Carbonate‐Free Electrolytes for High‐Nickel Layered Oxide Cathodes in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Layered lithium nickel oxide (LiNiO₂) can provide very high energy density among intercalation cathode materials for lithium‐ion batteries, but suffers from poor cycle life and thermal‐abuse tolerance with large lithium utilization. In addition to stabilization of the active cathode material, a concurrent development of electrolyte systems of better compatibility is critical to overcome these limitations for practical applications. Here, with nonaqueous electrolytes based on exclusively aprotic acyclic carbonates free of ethylene carbonate (EC), superior electrochemical and thermal characteristics are obtained with an ultrahigh‐nickel cathode (LiNi_0.94Co_0.06O₂), capable of reaching a 235 mA h g^?1 specific capacity. Pouch‐type graphite|LiNi_0.94Co_0.06O₂ cells in EC‐free electrolytes withstand several hundred charge–discharge cycles with minor degradation at both ambient and elevated temperatures. In thermal‐abuse tests, the cathode at full charge, while reacting aggressively with EC‐based electrolytes below 200 °C, shows suppressed self‐heating without EC. Through 3D chemical and structural analyses, the intriguing impact of EC is visualized in aggravating unwanted surface parasitic reactions and irreversible bulk structural degradation of the cathode at high voltages. These results provide important insights in designing high‐energy electrodes for long‐lasting and reliable lithium‐ion batteries.     

An Organic Anode for High Temperature Potassium‐Ion Batteries

The wide applications of rechargeable batteries require state‐of‐the‐art batteries that are sustainable (abundant resource), tolerant to high‐temperature operations, and excellent in delivering high capacity and long‐term cycling life. Due to the scarcity and uneven distribution of lithium, it is urgent to develop alternative rechargeable batteries. Herein, an organic compound, azobenzene‐4,4′‐dicarboxylic acid potassium salts (ADAPTS) is developed, with an azo group as the redox center for high performance potassium‐ion batteries (KIBs). The extended π‐conjugated structure in ADAPTS and surface reactions between ADAPTS and K‐ions enable the stable charge/discharge of K‐ion batteries even at high temperatures up to 60 °C. When operated at 50 °C, ADAPTS anode delivers a reversible capacity of 109 mAh g^?1 at 1C for 400 cycles. A reversible capacity of 77 mAh g^?1 is retained at 2C for 1000 cycles. At 60 °C, the ADAPTS‐based KIBs deliver a high capacity of 113 mAh g^?1 with 81% capacity retention at 2C after 80 cycles. The exceptional electrochemical performance demonstrates that ADAPTS is a promising electrode material for high‐temperature KIBs.

In light of possible concerns over the cost and future availability of lithium, sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) and other new technologies have emerged as candidates for large‐scale stationary energy storage. Research in these technologies has increased dramatically with a focus on the development of new materials for both the positive and negative electrodes that can enhance the cycling stability, rate capability, and energy density. Two‐dimensional (2D) materials are showing promise for many energy‐related applications and particularly for energy storage, because of the efficient ion transport between the layers and the large surface areas available for improved ion adsorption and faster surface redox reactions. Recent research highlights on the use of 2D materials in these future ‘beyond‐lithium‐ion’ battery systems are reviewed, and strategies to address challenges are discussed as well as their prospects.     

An Air‐Stable Densely Packed Phosphorene–Graphene Composite Toward Advanced Lithium Storage Properties

Phosphorene, monolayer or few‐layer black phosphorus (BP), has recently triggered strong scientific interest for lithium/sodium ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs) applications. However, there are still challenges regarding large‐scale fabrication, poor air stability. Herein, we report the high‐yield synthesis of phosphorene with good crystallinity and tunable size distributions via liquid‐phase exfoliation of bulk BP in formamide. Afterwards, a densely packed phosphorene–graphene composite (PG‐SPS, a packing density of 0.6 g cm^?3) is prepared by a simple and easily up‐scalable spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. When working as anode materials of LIBs, PG‐SPS exhibit much improved first‐cycle Coloumbic efficiency (60.2%) compared to phosphorene (11.5%) and loosely stacked phosphorene–graphene composite (34.3%), high specific capacity (1306.7 mAh g^?1) and volumetric capacity (256.4 mAh cm^?3), good rate capabilities (e.g., 415.0 mAh g^?1 at 10 A g^?1) as well as outstanding long‐term cycling life (91.9% retention after 800 cycles at 10 A g^?1). Importantly, excellent air stability of PG‐SPS over the 60 days observation in maintaining its high Li storage properties can be achieved. On the contrary, 95.2% of BP in PG sample was oxidized after only 10 days exposure to ambience, leading to severe degradation of electrochemical properties.     

Ultrathin Li4Ti5O12 Nanosheet Based Hierarchical Microspheres for High‐Rate and Long‐Cycle Life Li‐Ion Batteries

Ultrathin Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ nanosheet based hierarchical microspheres are synthesized through a three‐step hydrothermal procedure. The average thickness of the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ sheets is only ≈(6.6 ± 0.25) nm and the specific surface area of the sample is 178 m² g^?1. When applied into lithium ion batteries as anode materials, the hierarchical Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ microspheres exhibit high specific capacities at high rates (156 mA h g^?1 at 20 C, 150 mA h g^?1 at 50 C) and maintain a capacity of 126 mA h g^?1 after 3000 cycles at 20 C. The results clearly suggest that the utility of hierarchical structures based on ultrathin nanosheets can promote the lithium insertion/extraction reactions in Li₄Ti₅O₁₂. The obtained hierarchical Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ with ultrathin nanosheets and large specific surface area can be perfect anode materials for the lithium ion batteries applied in high power facilities, such as electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles.     

A Hollow‐Shell Structured V2O5 Electrode‐Based Symmetric Full Li‐Ion Battery with Highest Capacity

The symmetric batteries with an electrode material possessing dual cathodic and anodic properties are regarded as an ideal battery configuration because of their distinctive advantages over the asymmetric batteries in terms of fabrication process, cost, and safety concerns. However, the development of high‐performance symmetric batteries is highly challenging due to the limited availability of suitable symmetric electrode materials with such properties of highly reversible capacity. Herein, a triple‐hollow‐shell structured V₂O₅ (THS‐V₂O₅) symmetric electrode material with a reversible capacity of >400 mAh g^?1 between 1.5 and 4.0 V and >600 mAh g^?1 between 0.1 and 3.0 V, respectively, when used as the cathode and anode, is reported. The THS‐V₂O₅ electrodes assembled symmetric full lithium‐ion battery (LIB) exhibits a reversible capacity of ≈290 mAh g^?1 between 2 and 4.0 V, the best performed symmetric energy storage systems reported to date. The unique triple‐shell structured electrode makes the symmetric LIB possessing very high initial coulombic efficiency (94.2%), outstanding cycling stability (with 94% capacity retained after 1000 cycles), and excellent rate performance (over 140 mAh g^?1 at 1000 mA g^?1). The demonstrated approach in this work leaps forward the symmetric LIB performance and paves a way to develop high‐performance symmetric battery electrode materials.     

Bottom‐Up Confined Synthesis of Nanorod‐in‐Nanotube Structured Sb@N‐C for Durable Lithium and Sodium Storage

Antimony (Sb) has emerged as an attractive anode material for both lithium and sodium ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity of 660 mA h g^?1. In this work, a novel peapod‐like N‐doped carbon hollow nanotube encapsulated Sb nanorod composite, the so‐called nanorod‐in‐nanotube structured Sb@N‐C, via a bottom‐up confinement approach is designed and fabricated. The N‐doped‐carbon coating and thermal‐reduction process is monitored by in situ high‐temperature X‐ray diffraction characterization. Due to its advanced structural merits, such as sufficient N‐doping, 1D conductive carbon coating, and substantial inner void space, the Sb@N‐C demonstrates superior lithium/sodium storage performance. For lithium storage, the Sb@N‐C exhibits a high reversible capacity (650.8 mA h g^?1 at 0.2 A g^?1), excellent long‐term cycling stability (a capacity decay of only 0.022% per cycle for 3000 cycles at 2 A g^?1), and ultrahigh rate capability (343.3 mA h g^?1 at 20 A g^?1). For sodium storage, the Sb@N‐C nanocomposite displays the best long‐term cycle performance among the reported Sb‐based anode materials (a capacity of 345.6 mA h g^?1 after 3000 cycles at 2 A g^?1) and an impressive rate capability of up to 10 A g^?1. The results demonstrate that the Sb@N‐C nanocomposite is a promising anode material for high‐performance lithium/sodium storage.     

Ultrafine Co3Se4 Nanoparticles in Nitrogen‐Doped 3D Carbon Matrix for High‐Stable and Long‐Cycle‐Life Lithium Sulfur Batteries

Lithium–sulfur batteries are a promising high energy output solution for substitution of traditional lithium ion batteries. In recent times research in this field has stepped into the exploration of practical applications. However, their applications are impeded by cycling stability and short life‐span mainly due to the notorious polysulfide shuttle effect. In this work, a multifunctional sulfur host fabricated by grafting highly conductive Co₃Se₄ nanoparticles onto the surface of an N‐doped 3D carbon matrix to inhibit the polysulfide shuttle and improve the sulfur utilization is proposed. By regulating the carbon matrix and the Co₃Se₄ distribution, N‐CN‐750@Co₃Se₄‐0.1 m with abundant polar sites is experimentally and theoretically shown to be a good LiPSs absorbent and a sulfur conversion accelerator. The S/N‐CN‐750@Co₃Se₄‐0.1 m cathode shows excellent sulfur utilization, rate performance, and cyclic durability. A prolonged cycling test of the as‐fabricated S/N‐CN‐750@Co₃Se₄‐0.1 m cathode is carried out at 0.2 C for more than 5 months which delivers a high initial capacity of 1150.3 mAh g^?1 and retains 531.0 mAh g^?1 after 800 cycles with an ultralow capacity reduction of 0.067% per cycle, maintaining Coulombic efficiency of more than 99.3%. The reaction details are characterized and analyzed by ex situ measurements. This work highly emphasizes the potential capabilities of transition‐metal selenides in lithium–sulfur batteries.     

Construction of Hierarchical K1.39Mn3O6 Spheres via AlF3 Coating for High‐Performance Potassium‐Ion Batteries

Potassium‐ion batteries are attracting great interest for emerging large‐scale energy storage owing to their advantages such as low cost and high operational voltage. However, they are still suffering from poor cycling stability and sluggish thermodynamic kinetics, which inhibits their practical applications. Herein, the synthesis of hierarchical K_1.39Mn₃O₆ microspheres as cathode materials for potassium‐ion batteries is reported. Additionally, an effective AlF₃ surface coating strategy is applied to further improve the electrochemical performance of K_1.39Mn₃O₆ microspheres. The as‐synthesized AlF₃ coated K_1.39Mn₃O₆ microspheres show a high reversible capacity (about 110 mA h g^?1 at 10 mA g^?1), excellent rate capability, and cycling stability. Galvanostatic intermittent titration technique results demonstrate that the increased diffusion kinetics of potassium‐ion insertion and extraction during discharge and charge processes benefit from both the hierarchical sphere structure and surface modification. Furthermore, ex situ X‐ray diffraction measurements reveal that the irreversible structure evolution can be significantly mitigated via surface modification. This work sheds light on rational design of high‐performance cathode materials for potassium‐ion batteries.     

Ice Templated Free‐Standing Hierarchically WS2/CNT‐rGO Aerogel for High‐Performance Rechargeable Lithium and Sodium Ion Batteries

A hybrid nanoarchitecture aerogel composed of WS₂ nanosheets and carbon nanotube‐reduced graphene oxide (CNT‐rGO) with ordered microchannel three‐dimensional (3D) scaffold structure was synthesized by a simple solvothermal method followed by freeze‐drying and post annealing process. The 3D ordered microchannel structures not only provide good electronic transportation routes, but also provide excellent ionic conductive channels, leading to an enhanced electrochemical performance as anode materials both for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). Significantly, WS₂/CNT‐rGO aerogel nanostructure can deliver a specific capacity of 749 mA h g^?1 at 100 mA g^?1 and a high first‐cycle coulombic efficiency of 53.4% as the anode material of LIBs. In addition, it also can deliver a capacity of 311.4 mA h g^?1 at 100 mA g^?1, and retain a capacity of 252.9 mA h g^?1 at 200 mA g^?1 after 100 cycles as the anode electrode of SIBs. The excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to the synergistic effect between the WS₂ nanosheets and CNT‐rGO scaffold network and rational design of 3D ordered structure. These results demonstrate the potential applications of ordered CNT‐rGO aerogel platform to support transition‐metal‐dichalcogenides (i.e., WS₂) for energy storage devices and open up a route for material design for future generation energy storage devices.     

A Novel α‐MoO3/Single‐Walled Carbon Nanohorns Composite as High‐Performance Anode Material for Fast‐Charging Lithium‐Ion Battery

Orthorhombic α‐MoO₃ is a potential anode material for lithium‐ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity of 1100 mAh g^?1 and excellent structural stability. However, its intrinsic poor electronic conductivity and high volume expansion during the charge–discharge process impede it from achieving a high practical capacity. A novel composite of α‐MoO₃ nanobelts and single‐walled carbon nanohorns (SWCNHs) is synthesized by a facile microwave hydrothermal technique and demonstrated as a high‐performance anode material for lithium‐ion batteries. The α‐MoO₃/SWCNH composite displays superior electrochemical properties (654 mAh g^?1 at 1 C), excellent rate capability (275 mAh g^?1 at 5 C), and outstanding cycle life (capacity retention of >99% after 3000 cycles at 1 C) without any cracking of the electrode. The presence of SWCNHs in the composite enhances the electrochemical properties of α‐MoO₃ by acting as a lithium storage material, electronic conductive medium, and buffer against pulverization.     

Hydrogenated Core–Shell MAX@K2Ti8O17 Pseudocapacitance with Ultrafast Sodium Storage and Long‐Term Cycling

Sodium‐ion batteries are considered alternatives to lithium‐ion batteries for energy storage devices due to their competitive cost and source abundance. However, the development of electrode materials with long‐term stability and high capacity remains a great challenge. Here, this paper describes for the first time the synthesis of a new class of core–shell MAX@K₂Ti₈O₁₇ by alkaline hydrothermal reaction and hydrogenation of MAX, which grants high sodium ion‐intercalation pseudocapacitance. This composite electrode displays extraordinary reversible capacities of 190 mA h g^?1 at 200 mA g^?1 (0.9 C, theoretical value of ≈219 mA h g^?1) and 150 mA h g^?1 at 1000 mA g^?1 (4.6 C). More importantly, a reversible capacity of 75 mA h g^?1 at 10 000 mA g^?1 (46 C) is retained without any apparent capacity decay even after more than 10 000 cycles. Experimental tests and first‐principle calculations confirm that the increase in Ti³⁺ on the surface layers of MAX@K₂Ti₈O₁₇ by hydrogenation increases its conductivity in addition to enhancing the sodium‐ion intercalation pseudocapacitive process. Furthermore, the distorted dodecahedrons between Ti and O layers not only provide abundant sites for sodium‐ion accommodation but also act as wide tunnels for sodium‐ion transport.
