چکیده

An in-depth understanding of Na2Ti3O7 as a Na-ion battery anode is reported. The battery performance is enhanced by carbon coating, due to increased electronic conductivity and reduced solid electrolyte interphase formation. Ti(4+) reduction upon discharge is demonstrated using in situ XAS. The self-relaxation behaviour of the fully intercalated phase is revealed.

Boron-doped graphene as a promising anode for Na-ion batteries.

The Na-ion battery has recently gained a lot of interest as a low-cost alternative to the current Li-ion battery technology. Its feasibility strongly depends on the development of suitable electrode materials. In the present work we propose a novel anode candidate, boron-doped graphene, for the Na-ion battery. Our first-principles calculations demonstrate that the sodiation of boron-doped graph...

Aqueous Mg-Ion Battery Based on Polyimide Anode and Prussian Blue Cathode

The magnesium-metal battery, which consists of a cathode, a Mg-metal anode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte, is a safer and less expensive alternative to the popular Li-ion battery. However, the performance of Mg batteries is greatly limited by the low electrochemical oxidative stability of nonaqueous electrolytes, the slow Mg diffusion into the cathode, and the irreversibility of Mg striping and ...

Experimental visualization of the diffusion pathway of sodium ions in the Na3[Ti2P2O10F] anode for sodium-ion battery

Sodium-ion batteries have attracted considerable interest as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries for electric storage applications because of the low cost and natural abundance of sodium resources. The materials with an open framework are highly desired for Na-ion insertion/extraction. Here we report on the first visualization of the sodium-ion diffusion path in Na3[Ti2P2O10F] through high-...

Micro-nano structure hard carbon as a high performance anode material for sodium-ion batteries

Superior first-cycle Coulomb efficiency (above 80%) is displayed by filter paper-derived micro-nano structure hard carbon, and it delivers a high reversible capacity of 286 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles as the anode for Na-ion battery at 20 mA g-1. These advantageous performance characteristics are attributed to the unique micro-nano structure, which reduced the first irreversible capacity loss by l...
