Summary: The carbon layer acting as a conductive medium is beneficial to overcoming the comparatively inferior electronic conductivity of Na3V2(PO4)3. Based on this, Na3V2(PO4)3/C composites with diverse ratios of citric acid are synthetized via rheological phase reaction way in this work. The consequences display that the Na3V2(PO4)3/C‐1.5 composite brings a higher initial discharge capacity of 113.2 mAh g−1 at a current rate of 1 C with coulombic efficiency above 99% during all cycles. The discharge capacity retains at 117.6 mAh g−1 at the 100th cycle. Even at the high current densities of 5 C and 10 C, the composite also shows superior cycling performance with negligible capacity fading. Its discharge capacities decline from 97 to 92.6 mAh g−1 at 5 C and from 85.3 to 83.7 mAh g−1 at 10 C. These remarkable outcomes arise from its preferable morphology with suitable carbon coating because both excess and skimpy carbon seriously affect the microstructure and electrochemical properties of Na3V2(PO4)3/C composites.

Summary: Polyaniline‐derived N‐doped carbon‐composited Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP@NC) are synthesized by a rheological phase reaction followed by calcination. The NVP@NC composite displays improved cycling and rate properties. Its discharge capacity remains 118.7 mAh g−1 at the 400th cycle at 0.3 C. It also obtains invertible capacities of 93.7 and 91.1 mAh g−1 at 5 and 10 C after 1000 cycles, with capacity retention rates of 92.7% and 98.4%, respectively. These enhanced results due to the N‐doped carbon layer (NC), which restrains the expansion and deformation of the crystal structure, reduce the transport length of sodium ion and electrons and improves the electroconductibility of NVP.

Summary: NaV3O8/polytriphenylamine composites were synthesized by an in situ oxypolymerization way for the first time. Among them, the NaV3O8/20 wt.% polytriphenylamine composite shows better cycling and rate performance. Its discharge capacity retains at 118.9 mAh g−1 after 300 cycles at 120 mA g−1. It also obtains a reversible capacity of 101.7 mAh g−1 at 300 mA g−1 after 100 cycles. These enhanced results arise from the excellent morphology, that is, smaller particles of clear edges and uniform distribution suppress the expansion and deformation of the crystal structure, and avoid large agglomerate particles gathering during the electrochemical reaction. In addition, tight polytriphenylamine (PTPAn) coating also improves the conductivity of NaV3O8 cathode and suppresses the dissolution of NaV3O8 in electrolyte. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: Graphene‐wrapped poly 2,5‐dihydroxy‐1,4‐benzoquinone‐3,6‐methylene (PDBM) nanocomposites with three‐dimensional nanoflower structures have been successfully prepared through the ultrasonic exfoliation and reassembly process in methanol. Compact distribution of graphene into the nanocomposite has established a three‐dimensional conductive network, which contributes to improved properties on discharge capacity and cycle performance. Composite with 20 wt% graphene was proved the best ratio when used in sodium‐ion batteries. Its initial discharge capacity can achieve 210 at 30 mA g−1. After 100 cycles, the capacity is stable at 121 mAh g−1. The composite featuring highly conductive channels and multidimensional electron transport pathway is synthesized by an easy ultrasonic way, which may be applied in large scales for sodium‐ion batteries.

- Abstract
Abstract: Different dimensions of carbon materials with various features have captured numerous interests due to their applications on the tremendous fields. Restricted by the raw materials and devices, the controlling of their morphology is a major challenge. Utilizing the catalytic features of the intermediates from the low‐cost salts and polymerization of 0D carbon quantum dots (CQDs), 0D CQDs are expected to self‐assemble into 1/2/3D carbon structures with the assistance of temperature‐induced intermediates (e.g., ZnO, Ni, and Cu) from the salts (ZnCl
2 , NiCl2 , and CuCl). The formation mechanisms are illustrated as follows: 1) the “orient induction” to evoke “vine style” growth mechanism of ZnO; 2) the “dissolution–precipitation” of Ni; and 3) the “surface adsorption self‐limited” of Cu. Subsequently, the degree of graphitization, interlayer distance, and special surface area are investigated in detail. 1D structure from 700 °C as anode displays a high Na‐storage capacity of 301.2 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1 after 200 cycles and 107 mAh g−1 at 5.0 A g−1 after 5000 cycles. Quantitative kinetics analysis confirms the fundamentals of the enhanced rate capacity and the potential region of Na‐insertion/extraction. This elaborate work opens up an avenue toward the design of carbon with multidimensions and in‐depth understanding of their sodium‐storage features. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Development of novel cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries with high capacity and excellent cyclic performance is an exciting and demanding research direction. Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of NaV
3 O8 via a rheological phase reaction method. The crystal structure and morphology of synthesized NaV3 O8 were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The NaV3 O8 powder, calcined at moderate temperature (350 °C) with more uniform and smaller nanorod/nanoplate morphology, and largerd 001 spacing, exhibited excellent electrochemical performance as cathode material in sodium ion batteries. A specific discharge capacity of 120 mAh g−1 was achieved at the current density of 120 mA g−1 , with exceptional cyclic performance (discharge capacity of 95 mAh g−1 at the 500th cycle). In addition, the NaV3 O8 cathode demonstrated excellent rate capability and delivered specific capacity of 80.8 mAh g−1 at current density of 300 mA g−1 . The superior electrochemical performance corresponds to the structural stability and faster ionic diffusion. The preliminary results indicate that NaV3 O8 can be an alternative cathode material for high-performance sodium-ion batteries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

As a result of its high‐energy density, metal–selenides have demanded attention as a potential energy‐storage material. But they suffer from volume expansion, dissolved poly‐selenides and sluggish kinetics. Herein, utilizing' thermal selenization via the Kirkendall effect, microspheres of NiSe2 confined by carbon are successfully obtained from the self‐assembly of Ni‐precursor/PPy. The derived hierarchical hollow architecture increases the active defects for sodium storage, while the existing double N‐doped carbon layers significantly alleviate the volume swelling. As a result, it shows ultrafast rate capability, delivering a stable capacity of 374 mAh g−1, even after 3000 loops at 10.0 A g−1. These remarkable results may be ascribed to the NiOC bonds on the interface of NiSe2 and the carbon film, which leads to the faster transfer of ions, the effective trapping of poly‐selenide, and the highly reversible conversion reaction. The kinetic analysis of cyclic voltammetry (CV) demonstrates that the electrochemical process is mainly dominated by pseudocapacitive behaviors. Supported by the results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), it is confirmed that the solid–electrolyte interface films are reversibly formed/decomposed during cycling. Given this, this elaborate work might open up a potential avenue for the rational design of metal‐sulfur/selenide anodes for advanced battery systems. Hierarchial hollow‐structured NiSe2/N‐C with double carbon films are designed from the self‐assembled clew‐like Ni‐Pr by the Kirkendall effect. And it is found that incorporation of NiOC into the carbon layers enables tailoring of the interfacial traits, inducing the fascinating electrochemical behaviors. This elaborate work might open up a potential avenue for these rational TMDs anodes designs for advanced battery storage systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

[Display omitted] Carbon materials are promising anode materials for rechargeable lithium and sodium-ion batteries, due to their low cost, high capacity, and structural designability. In this work, we selected a waste biomass, garlic stem, as the carbon precursor, and we systematically investigated the effect of pyrolysis temperature and time on their battery performance. We find that 800 °C and 2 h are the best pyrolysis conditions, which leads to the optimal carbon material (800C-2H) with a large layer spacing, abundant defect sites, high surface area, and sufficient micro/meso-porous structures. Due to these favorable properties, this carbon anode exhibits an impressive performance for Lithium-ion batteries, with a very high capacity of 480 mAh g−1 and no significant capacity fading after 3000 cycles. Besides, this anode also shows promising performance for Sodium-ion batteries, where a good capacity of 151.9 mAh g−1 and reasonable cycling of 100 cycles are achievable. We also carried out in-situ X-ray diffraction and in-situ Raman spectroscopy experiments to understand the relationship between carbon microstructures and their Li-ion storage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In this work, nitrogen-doped carbon-coated NaV 3 O 8 (NVO@NC) were successfully synthesized by a simple rheological phase method using melamine as a nitrogen source. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses revealed that nitrogen-doped carbon-coated didn't change the crystal structure of NVO but altered the thickness and properties of the surface coating. Among obtained composites, NVO@NC containing a molar ratio of melamine to citric acid of 2.75:1.25 displayed the best electrochemical properties. The electrochemical tests suggested discharge capacity reaching 231.3 mAh g−1 at 150 mA g−1, with discharge capacity remaining at 169.4 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) proved that the coated materials delivered a much lower resistance than that of bulk NVO. Galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) tests demonstrated sodium ion diffusion coefficient was greatly enhanced after nitrogen-doped carbon coating. In conclusion, nitrogen-doped carbon might increase material conductivity, aid in the formation of SEI films on electrode surfaces, and improve electrode material stability, resulting in NVO materials with high-capacity and ultrafast Na-ion storage.

Sodium titanate (Na 2 Ti 6 O 13) exhibits great potential as a sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) anode material, nevertheless the limited electronic conductivity markedly hampers its applications. To combat this shortcoming, carbon coating has been widely employed to fabricate Na 2 Ti 6 O 13 /C composites; however, this method requires a high-temperature processing that is energy-intensive releases environmental pollutants. Herein, silver is used as a novel conducting agent, and we demonstrated a simple and efficient method to prepare Ag@Na 2 Ti 6 O 13 composites. We find that nano-sized silver particles (3%) are well distributed on the Na 2 Ti 6 O 13 surface, leading to boosted conductivity of the composites. As a result, the Ag@Na 2 Ti 6 O 13 electrode exhibits an excellent performance for Na+ insertion, where after 100 cycles a discharge capacity of 189 mAh g −1 is achieved, demonstrating superior capacity retention of 97.9%. The result of silver coating on the battery performance was investigated coherently by various techniques, such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Our work provides a feasible approach to prepare electronically conductive compounds for battery applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

[Display omitted] • Na 2 THBQ were combined with CDs as cathode materials in SIBs for the first time. • o -Na 2 THBQ/CDs-2 performed good cycling stability and rate performance. • The mechanism of o -Na 2 THBQ/CDs-2 was explored by ex-situ tests. • The sodium ion diffusion coefficient of the materials was tested by GITT. Organic compounds are considered auspicious due to their widespread presence in nature, low cost, and sustainability. However, the inherent drawbacks of these organics' compounds, like low-conductivity and high-solubility, restrict their large-scale application. To solve these problems, we innovatively combined carbon quantum dots (CDs) with active substances (tetrahydroxybenzoquinone ortho -disodium salt (o -Na 2 THBQ)) at different mass ratios. The optimized o -Na 2 THBQ/CDs-2 (the mass ratio of o -Na 2 THBQ to CDs is 10:2) exhibited excellent electrochemical performance, the first-cycle discharge specific capacity was 410 mAh g−1 and maintained 182 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles, and the Coulombic efficiency was nearly 100 %. After 1300 cycles, the o -Na 2 THBQ/CDs-2 composite demonstrated a high specific capacity of 63 mAh g−1 at 500 mA g−1. This work provides a reference to design an optimal composite ratio of carbon dots (CDs) and organics to fabricate cathode materials for high-performance sodium-ion batteries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• NVO material doped by niobium ion (Nb5+) was successfully prepared by the rheological phase method. • Nb-doping lead to an expansion of the lattice volume and increase the intrinsic conductivity. • NaNb 0.018 V 2.982 O 8 demonstrates high-rate capability and long-term cyclability. • Pseudocapacitive behavior of Nb-doped NVO is confirmed by kinetics analysis. In this work, NaNb 0.018 V 2.982 O 8 (NVO-0.018Nb) composite was served as the cathode of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) to deliver a superior Na-storage capacity of 187 mA h g−1 at the current density of 1 C and voltage range of 1.5–4.0 V, and favorable energy density (419.3 Wh kg−1). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements displayed decreased charge transfer resistance in the NVO-0.018Nb composite. The detailed kinetic analysis revealed enhanced surface-controlled behaviors, leading to improved sodium-storage capability. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analyses demonstrated that NVO-0.018Nb composite exhibited unique structure with significantly enhanced structural stability during fast cycling. In sum, the proposed method looks promising for the design of future advanced electrode materials of SIBs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Conjugated carbonyl compounds with high theoretical capacity, low cost, structural flexibility and abundant resources are potential cathodes in metal-ion batteries (lithium-LIBs, sodium-SIBs, kalium-KIBs). Regrettably, their inherent drawbacks of high solubility and low electrical conductivity limit their further application. Herein, different mass ratios of reduced graphene oxide wrapped poly (1,5-anthraquinonyl sulfide) (PAQS/rGO) composites were prepared through a calcination-treatment process aiming at decreasing the dissolution and enhancing the conductivity. XRD, FTIR and Raman analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of PAQS. XRD analysis also confirmed the conversion of GO to rGO. Four-probe test results showed that the conductivity of composites increased as the rGO ratio increased. SEM images showed that PAQS/rGO composites presented microsphere morphologies. Profiting from the enhanced conductivity and limited dissolution in electrolyte, the PAQS2 (the mass ratios of PAQS and rGO is 10:2) composite exhibited outstanding performance both in half- and full-batteries. In LIBs/SIBs, PAQS2 exhibited reservable discharge capacities of 121 and 115 mAh g−1 at 50 mA g−1 after 200 and 400 cycles, respectively. In PTPAn/PAQS2 all-organic Li/Na-ion batteries, reservable charge/discharge capacities of 42.1/39 and 42.1/40.4 mAh g−1 were retained at 50 mA g−1 after 200 cycles, respectively. Ex-situ FT-IR analysis further performed the redox reaction of carbonyl groups during charging and discharging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The impacts of Cu substitution upon the cycling stability of Na x MO 2 (M = Fe, Mn) cathodes are systematically studied. Evidenced by CuO segregation and XPS analysis, the average valence of Mn can hardly reach +4, possibly owing to the production of Mn(II). It is proposed that, Cu substitution can efficiently enhance the cycling stability by reducing the content of Mn(III) and suppressing the electrochemical activities of Mn4+/3+ redox couple. • Cycling stability of Na x MO 2 (M = Cu, Fe, Mn) cathodes are systematically studied. • CuO segregation is evidenced to be associated with the limited valent state of Mn. • Adding Cu2+ actually lower Mn valence by decreasing Mn(III) and generating Mn(II). • Cu2+-substitution may enhance the cycling stability mainly by suppressing Mn(III). Adding Cu2+ has substantially boosted the practical potentiality of Fe/Mn-based layered cathodes for sodium ion batteries (SIBs) owing to the enhanced stabilities, which were previously ascribed to the raised valence of Mn. Herein, the roles of Cu2+ are verified by investigating Cu2+-substituted materials with the stoichiometry of Na 0.5+x Cu x Fe 0.5-x Mn(IV) 0.5 O 2. Surprisingly, it is found that Mn valence can hardly reach the expected value (IV) even by adjusting Cu2+ content. For the first time, the separation of CuO, which has been previously detected but rarely explained, is ascribed to the restrained chemical states of Mn. Detailed analyses show that, Mn(II) is generated while Mn(III) is decreased in pace of Cu2+ substitution, actually lowering down the oxidation states of Mn. Moreover, Mn4+/3+ redox can be efficiently restricted by importing Cu2+. Albeit the loss of capacity, the cycling stability is greatly enhanced, achieving a high capacity retention of 92.3% after 200 cycles within 4.2–2.5 V. Therefore, the suppression of Jahn-Teller Mn(III) should be intrinsically responsible for the superior cycling stability after Cu2+ substitution. These findings may present a new sight to probe the roles of Cu in layered Na x MO 2 system for the design of advanced cathodes for SIBs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
