Abstract Birnessite is a low-cost and environmentally friendly layered material for aqueous electrochemical energy storage; however, its storage capacity is poor due to its narrow potential window in aqueous electrolyte and low redox activity. Herein we report a sodium rich disordered birnessite (Na0.27MnO2) for aqueous sodium-ion electrochemical storage with a much-enhanced capacity and cycling life (83 mAh g−1 after 5000 cycles in full-cell). Neutron total scattering and in situ X-ray diffraction measurements show that both structural water and the Na-rich disordered structure contribute to the improved electrochemical performance of current cathode material. Particularly, the co-deintercalation of the hydrated water and sodium-ion during the high potential charging process results in the shrinkage of interlayer distance and thus stabilizes the layered structure. Our results provide a genuine insight into how structural disordering and structural water improve sodium-ion storage in a layered electrode and open up an exciting direction for improving aqueous batteries.

In the present work, nanocomposite cellulose fabrics with in situ generated silver nanoparticles were prepared by bioreduction method employing aqueous dispersion of low-cost natural turmeric powder as a reducing agent and different concentrated aqueous AgNO3 as source solutions. The prepared nanocomposite cellulose fabrics were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and antibacterial tests. The nanocomposite cellulose fabrics had roughly spherical silver nanoparticles in the size range of 41–130 nm with an overall average of 78 nm. The X-ray analysis indicated the generation of both silver nanoparticles and Ag2O nanoparticles in the nanocomposite cellulose fabrics. The nanocomposite cellulose fabrics retained the generated AgNPs even after repeated detergent washings. The prepared nanocomposite cellulose fabrics exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against both the Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and hence can be considered as antibacterial hospital-bed materials, apparels, etc.

Abstract Several emerging energy storage technologies and systems have been demonstrated that feature low cost, high rate capability, and durability for potential use in large-scale grid and high-power applications. Owing to its outstanding ion conductivity, ultrafast Na-ion insertion kinetics, excellent structural stability, and large theoretical capacity, the sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)-structured insertion material NaTi2(PO4)3 (NTP) has attracted considerable attention as the optimal electrode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and Na-ion hybrid capacitors (NHCs). On the basis of recent studies, NaTi2(PO4)3 has raised the rate capabilities, cycling stability, and mass loading of rechargeable SIBs and NHCs to commercially acceptable levels. In this comprehensive review, starting with the structures and electrochemical properties of NTP, we present recent progress in the application of NTP to SIBs, including non-aqueous batteries, aqueous batteries, aqueous batteries with desalination, and sodium-ion hybrid capacitors. After a thorough discussion of the unique NASICON structure of NTP, various strategies for improving the performance of NTP electrode have been presented and summarized in detail. Further, the major challenges and perspectives regarding the prospects for the use of NTP-based electrodes in energy storage systems have also been summarized to offer a guideline for further improving the performance of NTP-based electrodes.
