Title: Selenium-sulfur (SeS) fast charging cathode for sodium and lithium metal batteries

Abstract

In this paper, we report a bifunctional sodium metal battery (SMB) and lithium metal battery (LMB) cathode based on 63 wt.%SeS covalently bonded to a co-pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile (PAN) host, termed “SeSPAN”. This dense, low surface area, fully-amorphous electrode offers a highly favorable combination of reversible capacity, rate capability, and cycling life: At a fast charging rate of 1 A g^-1, the reversible capacities with Na and Li are 632 and 749 mAh g^-1 (based on active SeS), with cycle 1 CE of 81% in both cases. At an ultra-fast charging rate of 4 A g^-1 (∼5C) the reversible capacities with Na and Li are 453 and 604 mAh g^-1. Li-SeSPAN degrades 3% at cycle 500, while with Na-SeSPAN degrades by 17% after 150 cycles at 0.5 A g^-1. Both Na and Li cells display a uniquely low voltage hysteresis (210 and 200 mV at a current density of 0.2 A g^-1), indicative of facile charge-discharge kinetics. Lastly, analysis of the post-cycled anodes shows negligible S or Se crossover, with neither species being detected in the Li-SEI after extended cycling.

Tutorial review on structure – dendrite growth relations in metal battery anode supports

Journal Article Liu, Wei ; Liu, Pengcheng ; Mitlin, David - Chemical Society Reviews

This tutorial review explains the emerging understanding of the surface and bulk chemistry – electrochemical performance relations in anode supports (aka secondary current collectors, substrates, templates, hosts) for lithium, sodium and potassium metal batteries (LMBs, SMBs or NMBs, and KMBs or PMBs). In relation to each section, the possible future research directions that may yield both new insight and improved cycling behavior are explored. Representative case studies from Li, Na and K metal anode literature are discussed. The tutorial starts with an overview of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), covering both the “classic” understanding of the SEI structure and themore »« less

Selenium Impregnated Monolithic Carbons as Free-Standing Cathodes for High Volumetric Energy Lithium and Sodium Metal Batteries

Journal Article Ding, Jia ; Zhou, Hui ; Zhang, Hanlei ; ... - Advanced Energy Materials

Abstract Energy density (energy per volume) is a key consideration for portable, automotive, and stationary battery applications. Selenium (Se) lithium and sodium metal cathodes are created that are monolithic and free‐standing, and with record Se loading of 70 wt%. The carbon host is derived from nanocellulose, an abundant and sustainable forestry product. The composite is extremely dense (2.37 g cm ⁻³ ), enabling theoretical volumetric capacity of 1120 mA h cm ⁻³ . Such architecture is fully distinct from previous Se–carbon nano‐ or micropowders, intrinsically offering up to 2× higher energy density. For Li storage, the cathode delivers reversible capacitymore »« less

Ultrahigh coulombic efficiency electrolyte enables Li||SPAN batteries with superior cycling performance

Journal Article Liu, Haodong ; Holoubek, John ; Zhou, Hongyao ; ... - Materials Today

Raising the coulombic efficiency of lithium metal anode cycling is the deciding step in realizing long-life rechargeable lithium batteries. Here, we designed a highly concentrated salt/ether electrolyte diluted in a fluorinated ether: 1.8 M LiFSI in DEE/BTFE (diethyl ether/bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)ether), which realized an average coulombic efficiency of 99.37% at 0.5 mA cm^-2 and 1 mAh cm^-2 for more than 900 cycles. This electrolyte also maintained a record coulombic efficiency of 98.7% at 10 mA cm^-2, indicative of its ability to provide fast-charging with high cathode loadings. Morphological studies reveal dense, dendrite free Li depositions after prolonged cycling, while surface analyses confirmedmore »« less

Molybdenum Carbide Electrocatalyst In Situ Embedded in Porous Nitrogen–Rich Carbon Nanotubes Promotes Rapid Kinetics in Sodium–Metal–Sulfur Batteries

Journal Article Hao, Hongchang ; Wang, Yixian ; Katyal, Naman ; ... - Advanced Materials

This work is the first report of a molybdenum carbide-based electrocatalyst for sulfur-based sodium metal batteries (SMBs/NMBs). MoC/Mo₂C is in-situ grown on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes in parallel with formation of extensive nanoporosity. Sulfur impregnation (50 wt% S) results in unique triphasic architecture termed MoC/Mo₂C@PCNT-S. Quasi-solid-state phase transformation to Na₂S is promoted in carbonate electrolyte, with in-situ time-resolved Raman, XPS and optical analysis demonstrating minimal soluble polysulfides. MoC/Mo₂C@PCNT-S cathodes delivered among the most promising rate performance characteristics in literature, achieving 987 mAh g^-1 at 1 Ag^-1, 818 mAh g^-1 at 3 A g^-1, and 621 mAh g^-1 at 5 A g^-1.more »« less

High-Entropy and Superstructure-Stabilized Layered Oxide Cathodes for Sodium-Ion Batteries

Journal Article Yao, Libing ; Zou, Peichao ; Wang, Chunyang ; ... - Advanced Energy Materials

Abstract Layered transition metal oxides are appealing cathodes for sodium‐ion batteries due to their overall advantages in energy density and cost. But their stabilities are usually compromised by the complicated phase transition and the oxygen redox, particularly when operating at high voltages, leading to poor structural stability and substantial capacity loss. Here an integrated strategy combing the high‐entropy design with the superlattice‐stabilization to extend the cycle life and enhance the rate capability of layered cathodes is reported. It is shown that the as‐prepared high‐entropy Na _2/3 Li _1/6 Fe _1/6 Co _1/6 Ni _1/6 Mn _1/3 O ₂ cathode enablesmore »« less
