ABSTRACTAn efficient microwave-assisted polyol (MP) approach is report to prepare SnO2/graphene hybrid as an anode material for lithium ion batteries. The key factor to this MP method is to start with uniform graphene oxide (GO) suspension, in which a large amount of surface oxygenate groups ensures homogeneous distribution of the SnO2 nanoparticles onto the GO sheets under the microwave irradiation. The period for the microwave heating only takes 10 min. The obtained SnO2/graphene hybrid anode possesses a reversible capacity of 967 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and a high Coulombic efficiency of 80.5% at the first cycle. The cycling performance and the rate capability of the hybrid anode are enhanced in comparison with that of the bare graphene anode. This improvement of electrochemical performance can be attributed to the formation of a 3-dimensional framework. Accordingly, this study provides an economical MP route for the fabrication of SnO2/graphene hybrid as an anode material for high-performance Li-ion batteries.

Three-dimensional (3D) porous self-supported MoS2 electrodes are constructed by electrodepositing coupled with high-temperature heat treatment using 3D porous Cu prepared via electroless plating as the substrate, and directly used as anode of sodium-ion battery. The 3D porous structure can accommodate the volumetric expansion/shrinkage and alleviate the stress caused from the large volumetric changes of MoS2 electrodes during electrochemical cycling. Meanwhile, large surface area of this unique configuration enables sufficient electrode/electrolyte interaction and fast electron transportation. Besides, the influence of heat treatment temperatures on the sodium storage performance of MoS2 electrode is also investigated. The electrochemical test result shows that the 3D porous self-supported MoS2 electrode heat treated at 350[Formula: see text]C has the best electrochemical performance. It demonstrates a high first reversible capacity of 714.1[Formula: see text]mAh g[Formula: see text] at 50[Formula: see text]mA g[Formula: see text] with a high first Coulombic efficiency of 84%, and a good capacity retention of 306.8[Formula: see text]mAh g[Formula: see text] after 100 cycles at 2[Formula: see text]A g[Formula: see text]. The reversible capacity at 3.2[Formula: see text]A g[Formula: see text] shows high value of 241[Formula: see text]mAh g[Formula: see text], which is 37% of that at 0.05[Formula: see text]A g[Formula: see text].

Abstract1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (TTE), a kind of fluorinated ether, was used as an electrolyte additive for Li-S batteries. A compact, smooth, and homogenous surface layer was formed on lithium anode at the optimized amount of added TTE. In addition, TTE additive played a crucial role in modifying the composition of the passivation layer on the sulfur/carbon cathode. Consequently, the dissolution and shuttling of polysulfides were effectively prevented. The reversible capacity, initial coulombic efficiency, electrode reaction kinetic, and cycling stability of Li-S batteries were greatly improved.

AbstractCu2SnS3, as a modified material for high-capacity tin-based anodes, has great potential for lithium-ion battery applications. The solvothermal method is simple, convenient, cost-effective, and easy to scale up, and has thus been widely used for the preparation of nanocrystals. In this work, Cu2SnS3 nanoparticles were prepared by the solvothermal method. The effects of high-temperature annealing on the morphology, crystal structure, and electrochemical performance of a Cu2SnS3 nano-anode were studied. The experimental results indicate that high-temperature annealing improves the electrochemical performance of Cu2SnS3, resulting in higher initial coulombic efficiency and improved cycling and rate characteristics compared with those of the as-prepared sample.
