Abstract Constructing transition metal nitrides (TMNs) with a 2D porous structure is an effective strategy to alleviate their volume expansion and self-aggregation issues, eventually enhancing their electrochemical performance. However, very few studies have been reported up to now. Herein, 2D porous Nb4N5@Nb2C heterojunctions are successfully synthesized from Nb2C MXene precursor by employing a two-step nitridation method in NH3 atmosphere. Owing to the abundant active sites, fast Li-ions diffusion paths, and sufficient buffer space for releasing volume expansion, 2D porous Nb4N5@Nb2C heterojunctions achieve high rate performance and excellent cycling stablility, maintaining 109.2 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 800 cycles. This work provides a facile strategy for building 2D porous TMNs and their heterojunctions with excellent electrochemical performances.

AbstractIn view of rich potassium resources and their working potential, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are deemed as next generation rechargeable batteries. Owing to carbon materials with the preponderance of durability and economic price, they are widely employed in PIBs anode materials. Currently, porosity design and heteroatom doping as efficacious improvement strategies have been applied to the structural design of carbon materials to improve their electrochemical performances. Herein, nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon spheres (MCS) are synthesized by a facile hard template method. The MCS demonstrate larger interlayer spacing in a short range, high specific surface area, abundant mesoporous structures and active sites, enhancing K-ion migration and diffusion. Furthermore, we screen out the pyrolysis temperature of 900 °C and the pore diameter of 7 nm as optimized conditions for MCS to improve performances. In detail, the optimized MCS-7-900 electrode achieves high rate capacity (107.9 mAh g−1 at 5000 mA g−1) and stably brings about 3600 cycles at 1000 mA g−1. According to electrochemical kinetic analysis, the capacitive-controlled effects play dominant roles in total storage mechanism. Additionally, the full-cell equipped MCS-7-900 as anode is successfully constructed to evaluate the practicality of MCS.
