Abstract

Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) have rapidly risen to the forefront of energy storage systems as a promising supplementary for Lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF) as a common cathode of SIBs, features the merits of high operating voltage, small volume change and favorable specific energy density. However, it suffers from poor cycling stability and rate performance induced by its low intrinsic conductivity. Herein, we propose an ingenious strategy targeting superior SIBs through cross‐linked NVPF with multi‐dimensional nanocarbon frameworks composed of amorphous carbon and carbon nanotubes (NVPF@C@CNTs). This rational design ensures favorable particle size for shortened sodium ion transmission pathway as well as improved electronic transfer network, thus leading to enhanced charge transfer kinetics and superior cycling stability. Benefited from this unique structure, significantly improved electrochemical properties are obtained, including high specific capacity (126.9 mAh g−1 at 1 C, 1 C = 128 mA g−1) and remarkably improved long‐term cycling stability with 93.9% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 20 C. The energy density of 286.8 Wh kg−1 can be reached for full cells with hard carbon as anode (NVPF@C@CNTs//HC). Additionally, the electrochemical performance of the full cell at high temperature is also investigated (95.3 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at 1 C at 50 °C). Such nanoscale dual‐carbon networks engineering and thorough discussion of ion diffusion kinetics might make contributions to accelerating the process of phosphate cathodes in SIBs for large‐scale energy storages.

Abstract

Hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs) comprising a battery‐type cathode and capacitive anode have recently become a research hotspot. Nevertheless, the low capacity utilization, poor kinetic behavior, and unstable structure of a single battery‐type oxide cathode restrict the overall performance of the device. Herein, the carbon quantum dots (CQDs) modified NiO/Co3O4 heterostructured flower‐like microspheres are constructed, and enhanced specific capacity, rate capability, and cycling performance are achieved when used as the cathode for HSCs. This is attributed to the fact that the modification of bifunctional CQDs as size regulators and conductive agents and the construction of heterostructure can not only improve the specific surface area and provide more electroactive sites, thereby enhancing the charge storage performance but also regulate the electronic structure and boost the interface charge transfer capability and electronic conductivity, thereby boosting the reaction kinetics and cycle stability. The enhanced electrochemical kinetic behavior is revealed by electrochemical kinetic analyses based on cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests and density functional theory calculations. Meanwhile, the electrochemical reaction process and energy storage mechanism are illustrated by ex‐situ X‐ray diffraction and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterizations. Furthermore, an HSC is further constructed using the CQDs/NiO/Co3O4 heterostructured flower‐like microspheres as the cathode, simultaneously achieving high energy density (40.9 Wh kg−1), high power density (24 kW kg−1), and splendid cyclic stability (94.2% capacity retention after 5000 cycles at 10 A g−1). These synergistic modification strategies of bifunctional CQDs modification and heterostructure design provide a valuable direction for the design and development of HSCs with both high energy density and high power density.

Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely adopted in various fields (catalysis, sensor, energy storage, etc.) during the last decade owing to the trait of abundant surface chemistry, porous structure, easy‐to‐adjust pore size, and diverse functional groups. However, the limited active sites and the poor conductivity hinder the relative practical application. 2D MOFs can shorten the ion transport path with the merit of layered structure. The large surface area can increase the number of active sites as well as effectively utilize the sufficient active sites, exhibiting enormous potential in the field of energy storage systems (EESs). In this review, the characteristics of the 2D MOFs have been introduced, and the systematic synthesis methods (top‐down and bottom‐up) of 2D MOFs are presented, providing fundamental understanding for the construction of 2D MOFs. Moreover, the applications of 2D MOFs in energy storage fields such as supercapacitors and batteries are demonstrated in detail. Finally, the future development prospects have been proposed, offering guidelines for the rational utilization of 2D MOFs and promoting the understanding of 2D MOFs in EESs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
