The application of MnCo2O4 (MCO) decorated Ti4O7 as a carbon-free cathode for Li–O2 batteries is reported for the first time. The high performance of Ti4O7/MCO cathode is attributed to the high electronic conductivity of Ti4O7, the high electrocatalytic activity of MCO and the synergistic interaction between Ti4O7 and MCO toward ORR and OER.

Although lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are one of the promising candidates for next-generation energy storage, their practical implementation is limited by rapid capacity fading due to lithium polysulfide (LiPSs) formation and the low electronic conductivity of sulfur. Herein, we report a high-performance lithium-sulfur battery based on multidimensional cathode architecture consisting of nanosulfur, graphene nanoplatelets (2D) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (1D). The ultrasonic synthesis method results in the generation of sulfur nanoparticles and their intercalation into the multilayered graphene nanoplatelets. The optimized multidimensional graphene-sulfur-CNT hybrid cathode (GNS58-CNT10) demonstrated a high specific capacity (1067 mAh g−1 @ 50 mA g−1), rate performance (539 @ 1 A g−1), coulombic efficiency (~95%) and cycling stability (726 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles @ 200 mA g−1) compared to the reference cathode. Superior electrochemical performances are credited to the encapsulation of nanosulfur between the individual layers of graphene nanoplatelets with high electronic conductivity, and effective polysulfide trapping by MWCNT bundles.

AbstractTwo-dimensional (2D) MXenes are promising as electrode materials for energy storage, owing to their high electronic conductivity and low diffusion barrier. Unfortunately, similar to most 2D materials, MXene nanosheets easily restack during the electrode preparation, which degrades the electrochemical performance of MXene-based materials. A novel synthetic strategy is proposed for converting MXene into restacking-inhibited three-dimensional (3D) balls coated with iron selenides and carbon. This strategy involves the preparation of Fe2O3@carbon/MXene microspheres via a facile ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and subsequent selenization process. Such 3D structuring effectively prevents interlayer restacking, increases the surface area, and accelerates ion transport, while maintaining the attractive properties of MXene. Furthermore, combining iron selenides and carbon with 3D MXene balls offers many more sites for ion storage and enhances the structural robustness of the composite balls. The resultant 3D structured microspheres exhibit a high reversible capacity of 410 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles at 0.1 A g−1 in potassium-ion batteries, corresponding to the capacity retention of 97% as calculated based on 100 cycles. Even at a high current density of 5.0 A g−1, the composite exhibits a discharge capacity of 169 mAh g−1.

AbstractThe segregated vacancies in the A site-ordered oxygen-deficient double perovskites REBaCo2O5+x (RE = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu) (RBCO) are thought to greatly enhance the diffusivity of oxide ions in the bulk of these materials and possibly supply surface defect sites with enhanced reactivity towards molecular oxygen. Some materials in this family of REBaCo2O5+x compounds, such as PrBaCo2O5+x, (PBCO), have already demonstrated high electronic conductivity, rapid oxygen ion diffusion and surface exchange kinetics. Therefore, the family of REBaCo2O5+x compounds were synthesized and evaluated as cathode materials for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) based on gadolinium doped ceria (CGO) electrolytes. The electrochemical performance of symmetrical cells (REBaCo2O5+x + CGO composite cathodes on the CGO electrolytes) was evaluated by using AC impedance spectroscopy. The area specific resistance (ASR) performance was measured as a function of temperature as well as oxygen partial pressure.

Nickel cobalt manganese ternary cathode materials are some of the most promising cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries, due to their high specific capacity, low cost, etc. However, they do have a few disadvantages, such as an unstable cycle performance and a poor rate performance. In this work, polyethylene oxide (PEO) with high ionic conductance and flexibility was utilized as a multifunctional binder to improve the electrochemical performance of LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathode materials. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the addition of PEO can greatly improve the adhesion of the electrode components and simultaneously enhance the integrity of the electrode. Thus, the PEO-based electrode (20 wt% PEO in PEO/PVDF) shows a high electronic conductivity of 19.8 S/cm, which is around 15,000 times that of the pristine PVDF-based electrode. Moreover, the PEO-based electrode exhibits better cycling stability and rate performance, i.e., the capacity increases from 131.1 mAh/g to 147.3 mAh/g at 2 C with 20 wt% PEO addition. Electrochemical impedance measurements further indicate that the addition of the PEO binder can reduce the electrode resistance and protect the LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathode materials from the liquid electrolyte attack. This work offers a simple yet effective method to improve the cycling performance of the ternary cathode materials by adding an appropriate amount of PEO as a binder in the electrode fabrication process.
