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.

At present, due to the depletion of fossil fuels and increasingly serious environmental problems, more and more attention has been paid to the development and application of functional nanostructured materials as renewable energy storage materials. Herein, lithium and sodium storage properties of hard carbons (HC) prepared by pyrolyzing cellulose were investigated. The orderliness and bonding mode of hard carbon were analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. Electrochemical properties were characterized by Cyclic Voltammetry, electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and charge–discharge test. Results showed that the cellulose-derived hard carbon had good lithium and sodium storage performance. The charge–discharge capacity was about 400 mAh/g and 240 mAh/g, respectively, at a current density of 0.2 A/g, and capacity was also stable under high current density of 2 A/g.

The charge/discharge properties of V2O5/carbon composites with controlled microstructures were investigated to achieve a high-rate lithium electrode performance. Composite electrodes were synthesized by mixing a V2O5 sol, carbon and a surfactant, followed by drying. V2O5/AB (acetylene black) and V2O5/VGCF (vapor-grown carbon fiber) composite electrodes showed high-rate charge/discharge properties only when they had very high carbon contents. V2O5/ (AB and VGCF) composite electrodes with controlled microstructures exhibited a discharge capacity of 245 mA·h·g-1 at a high current density of 40 A·g-1, which was approximately 70% of that at a low current density of 100 mA·g-1. The improvement in the high-rate charge/discharge properties was attributed to the short lithium ion diffusion distance, large reaction area and high electronic conductivity of those composite electrodes.

A lignite-based activated carbon (LAC) for electrochemical capacitors (ECs) was prepared from high moisture lignite by KOH activation, and the as-prepared sample was characterized by the N 2-sorption, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The electrochemical performances of ECs with activated carbon as electrodes in 3 M KOH aqueous solution were evaluated by constant current charge-discharge and cyclic voltammetry. The LAC exhibits a well-developed surface area of 2581 m2/g, a relative wide pore size distribution of 0.5–10 nm. The ECs with LAC as electrode materials presents a high specific capacitance of 392 F/g at a low current density of 50 mA/g, and still remains 315 F/g even at a high current density of 5 A/g. The residual specific capacitance is as high as 92.9% after 2000 cycles. Compared with the commercial activated carbon (Maxsorb: Commercial product, Kansai, Japan), the LAC based electrode materials shows superior capacitive performance in terms of specific capacitance and charge–discharge performance at the high current density.

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.
