Ion Insertion

Two prelithiation processes (shallow Li-ion insertion, and thrice-repeated deep Li-ion insertion and extraction) were applied to the hard carbon (HC) negative electrode (NE) used in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). LIB full-cells were assembled using Li(Ni0.5Co0.2Mn0.3)O2 positive electrodes (PEs) and the prelithiated HC NEs. The assembled full-cells were charged and discharged under a low current density, increasing current densities in a stepwise manner, and then constant under a high current density. The prelithiation process of shallow Li-ion insertion resulted in the high Coulombic efficiency (CE) of the full-cell at the initial charge-discharge cycles as well as in a superior rate capability. The prelithiation process of thrice-repeated Li-ion insertion and extraction attained an even higher CE and a high charge-discharge specific capacity under a low current density. However, both prelithiation processes decreased the capacity retention during charge-discharge cycling under a high current density, ascertaining a trade-off relationship between the increased CE and the cycling performance. Further elimination of the irreversible capacity of the HC NE was responsible for the higher utilization of both the PE and NE, attaining higher initial performances, but allowing the larger capacity to fade throughout charge-discharge cycling.

Molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) has become a potential anode of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, the volume expansion, poor electrical conductivity and dissolution of polysulfides in the electrolyte during the cycling process severely limited its applications. Herein, few-layered MoS2@N-doped carbon (F-MoS2@NC) was synthesized through a facile solvothermal and annealing process. It was found that the addition of N-doped carbon precursor could significantly promote the formation of few-layered MoS2 and improve the performances of lithium and sodium storage. A high reversible capacity of 482.6 mA h g−1 at a high current density of 2000 mA g−1 could be obtained for LIBs. When used as anode material for SIBs, F-MoS2@NC hybrids could maintain a reversible capacity of 171 mA h g−1 at a high current density of 1,000 mA g−1 after 600 cycles. This work should provide new insights into carbon hybrid anode materials for both LIBs and SIBs.

Hierarchical Porous

High energy density batteries with high performance are significantly important for intelligent electrical vehicular systems. Iron sulfurs are recognized as one of the most promising anodes for high energy density lithium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical specific capacity and relatively stable electrochemical performance. However, their large-scale commercialized application for lithium-ion batteries are plagued by high-cost and complicated preparation methods. Here, we report a simple and cost-effective method for the scalable synthesis of nanoconfined FeS in porous carbon (defined as FeS@C) as anodes by direct pyrolysis of an iron(III) p-toluenesulfonate precursor. The carbon architecture embedded with FeS nanoparticles provides a rapid electron transport property, and its hierarchical porous structure effectively enhances the ion transport rate, thereby leading to a good electrochemical performance. The resultant FeS@C anodes exhibit high reversible capacity and long cycle life up to 500 cycles at high current density. This work provides a simple strategy for the mass production of FeS@C particles, which represents a critical step forward toward practical applications of iron sulfurs anodes.

In this paper, a series of Li3V2(PO4)3/C composite nanofibers is prepared by a facile and environmentally friendly electrospinning method and calcined under different temperatures. The LVP nanofiber calcined under 900 ℃ exhibits the best electrochemical performance. The bicontinuous morphologies of LVP/CNF are the fibers shrunk and the LVP crystals simultaneously grown. At the range of 3.0–4.3 V, LVP/CNF obtained under 900 ℃ delivers the initial capacity of 135 mAh/g, close to the theoretical capacity of LVP. Even at high current density, the sample of LVP/CNF still presents good electrochemical performance.

Enhanced Electrochemical Performance

A facile approach is developed to fabricate polypyrrole-encapsulated lamellar iron (II) selenide (FeSe/PPy) by directly exposing FeSe to pyrrole atmosphere at room temperature. A high FeSe loading of 97 wt.% is achieved for the FeSe/PPy composite, which is designed as an anode for lithium-ion battery (LIB) with much enhanced electrochemical performance than that of the FeSe sample. The FeSe/PPy electrodes demonstrate a reversible discharge capacity of 274 mAh g[Formula: see text] after 50 cycles at a high current density of 0.5 A g[Formula: see text], whereas the lower discharge capacity of 124 mAh g[Formula: see text] for the FeSe electrodes. The FeSe/PPy electrodes also deliver greater rate capability compared to the FeSe electrodes. The improved electrochemical performance should be assigned to the contributions of fast charge transfer and structural defense from the encapsulated PPy. Hence, the FeSe/PPy composite could serve the purpose for constructing reliable anode for LIB, and the simple method of PPy coating can also be used to build high-performance electrodes for other battery systems.

In this study, three kinds of round-shaped pitch-based graphite fiber with different microstructural features (crystallinity and carbon layer orientation) were fabricated by melt-spinning, preoxidation, carbonization and graphitization. The morphology, crystalline size and carbon layer orientation of carbon fibers from different pitch precursors and spinning rates were characterized through X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron analyses. The correlation of the electrochemical performance and microstructure of graphite fibers as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries was investigated. The results suggest that large-diameter anisotropic graphite fibers (L-AF3000) with a radial texture of the transverse section are more favorable for lithium intercalation storage. The discharge capacity of L-AF3000 is 319.1 mAh∙g−1 at 0.1 C (current density). Nevertheless, the capacity drops to 209.9 mAh∙g−1 at a high current density of 1 C, and the capacity retention is only 82.2% over 100 cycles at 0.1 C. Small-diameter anisotropic graphite fibers (S-AF3000) with a spiral-shaped wrinkle texture of the transverse section possess discharge capacities of 284.1 mAh∙g−1 at 0.1 C and 260.2 mAh∙g−1 at a high current density of 1 C. Meanwhile, the best capacity retention of the fibers is 101.6% over 100 cycles at 0.1 C. The results suggest that the disordered carbon layers in S-AF3000 can retain the structural integrity of fibers as anode material for lithium-ion batteries and thus obtain excellent cycle stability. In addition, larger crystalline sizes of fibers correspond to higher discharge capacity, and a smaller diameter is beneficial to the fast insertion and extraction of lithium-ion in fibers.
