AbstractManganese oxides are regarded as one of the most promising cathode materials in rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) because of the low price and high security. However, the practical application of Mn2O3 in ZIBs is still plagued by the low specific capacity and poor rate capability. Herein, highly crystalline Mn2O3 materials with interconnected mesostructures and controllable pore sizes are obtained via a ligand-assisted self-assembly process and used as high-performance electrode materials for reversible aqueous ZIBs. The coordination degree between Mn2+ and citric acid ligand plays a crucial role in the formation of the mesostructure, and the pore sizes can be easily tuned from 3.2 to 7.3 nm. Ascribed to the unique feature of nanoporous architectures, excellent zinc-storage performance can be achieved in ZIBs during charge/discharge processes. The Mn2O3 electrode exhibits high reversible capacity (233 mAh g−1 at 0.3 A g−1), superior rate capability (162 mAh g−1 retains at 3.08 A g−1) and remarkable cycling durability over 3000 cycles at a high current rate of 3.08 A g−1. Moreover, the corresponding electrode reaction mechanism is studied in depth according to a series of analytical methods. These results suggest that rational design of the nanoporous architecture for electrode materials can effectively improve the battery performance. "Image missing"

Abstract The development of energy storage electrode materials is important for enhancing the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors. Despite extensive research on improving electrochemical performance with polymer-based materials, electrode materials with micro/nanostructures are needed for fast and efficient ion and electron transfer. In this work, highly ordered phosphomolybdate (PMoO)-grafted polyaniline (PMoO-PAI) deposited onto Au hole-cylinder nanopillar arrays is developed for high-performance pseudocapacitors. The three-dimensional nanostructured arrays are easily fabricated by secondary sputtering lithography, which has recently gained attention and features a high resolution of 10 nm, a high aspect ratio greater than 20, excellent uniformity/accuracy/precision, and compatibility with large area substrates. These 10nm scale Au nanostructures with a high aspect ratio of ~30 on Au substrates facilitate efficient ion and electron transfer. The resultant PMoO-PAI electrode exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance, including a high specific capacitance of 114 mF/cm2, a high-rate capability of 88%, and excellent long-term stability.

Hierarchical nanostructured graphene–manganese dioxide nanowire (G-MnO2-NW) composites have been prepared by hydrothermal synthesis route using water/1-decanol as the medium. Synthesized materials were analyzed using various characterization tools to corroborate their chemical compositions, structure/morphology and surface area. Electrochemical measurements of the synthesized G-MnO2-NW electrode materials delivered the highest specific capacity (255 Fg-1), high rate capability and improved cycling stability at 0.5 Ag–1 in 1M sodium sulfate solution and this fact may be attributed to its high surface area and porosity. Moreover, synthesized G-MnO2-NW electrodes displayed better energy and power density, when compared to the MnO2-NW based electrodes.

High Rate Performance

The development of new electrode materials with high storage capacity is indispensable for improving rechargeable lithium batteries. Herein, high performance TiO2 microspheres have been fabricated by a facile solvothermal method. The obtained TiO2 microspheres were investigated by the measurements of X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electronic microscopy, and electrochemical tests. As the rates increase from 1C to 20C, the TiO2 composites display high discharge capacities of 414.6 mAh g-1 for the first cycle at 1 C and 244.6 mAh g-1 at 20 C over 100 cycles. CV experiments indicate that there are two peculiar pairs of cathodic/anodic peaks occurred in the range of 1.0-3.0V, which clearly demonstrates that the structure of the TiO2 microspheres here is quite different from the ordinary anatase TiO2. Excellent rate capability and cycle ability are ascribed presumablely to the unique structure.

<p>Carbon-based material has been regarded as one of the most promising electrode materials for Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). However, the battery performance based on reported porous carbon electrodes is still unsatisfactory, while the in-depth K-ion storage mechanism remains relatively ambiguous. Herein, we propose a facile “<i>in situ</i> template bubbling” method for synthesizing interlayer tuned hierarchically porous carbon with different metallic ions, which delivers superior K-ion storage performance, especially the rate capability (158.6 mAh g<sup>-1</sup>@10.0 A g<sup>-1</sup>) and high-rate cycling stability (82.8% capacity retention after 2000 cycles at 5.0 A g<sup>-1</sup>). The origin of the excellent rate performance is revealed by the deliberately designed consecutive CV measurements, <i>Ex situ</i> Raman tests, GITT and theoretical simulations. Considering the facile preparation strategy, superior electrochemical performance and insightful mechanism investigations, this work can provide fundamental understandings for high performance PIBs and related energy storage devices like sodium-ion batteries, aluminum-ion batteries, electrochemical capacitors and dual-ion batteries.</p>

A low-cost bio-mass-derived carbon substrate has been employed to synthesize MoS2@carbon composites through a hydrothermal method. Carbon fibers derived from natural cotton provide a three-dimensional and open framework for the uniform growth of MoS2 nanosheets, thus constructing hierarchically coaxial architecture. The unique structure could synergistically benefit fast Li-ion and electron transport from the conductive carbon scaffold and porous MoS2 nanostructures. As a result, the MoS2@carbon composites, when served as anodes for Li-ion batteries, exhibit a high reversible specific capacity of 820 mAh g-1, high-rate capability (457 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1), and excellent cycling stability. The superior electrochemical performance makes the MoS2@carbon composites to be low-cost and promising anode materials for Li-ion batteries.

There is great demand for high-performance, low-cost electrode materials for anodes of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, we report the recovery of carbon materials by treating waste tire rubber via a facile one-step carbonization process. Electrochemical studies revealed that the waste tire carbon anode had a higher reversible capacity than that of commercial graphite and shows the positive effect of ZnS in the waste tire carbon. When used as the anode for LIBs, waste tire carbon shows a high specific capacity of 510.6 mAh·g−1 at 100 mA·g−1 with almost 97% capacity retention after 100 cycles. Even at a high rate of 1 A·g−1, the carbon electrode presents an excellent cyclic capability of 255.1 mAh·g−1 after 3000 cycles. This high-performance carbon material has many potential applications in LIBs and provide an alternative avenue for the recycling of waste tires.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage applications. High-performance cathode material with high-energy density and long cycle life is of great interest. Here, an F-doped Nax[Formula: see text]Fy with layered-tunnel intergrowth structure is synthesized by a facile solid-state reaction method. The microstructure and composition of prepared material was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscopy. The aim of the structure design is to combine the complementary features of high capacity from P2 phase and excellent structural stability from tunnel phase, as well as to improve rate performance by F doping. When investigated as high-rate and long-life cathode materials for Na-ion batteries, the layered-tunnel intergrowth structure exhibits synergistic effect including high discharge capacity (194.0[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]), good rate capability (86[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] at 15 C) as well as good cycling stability (81.2% capacity retention after 100 cycles). The as-prepared layered-tunnel intergrowth Nax[Formula: see text]Fy provides new insight into the development of intergrowth electrode materials and their application in rechargeable SIBs.
