Stable bismuth-antimony alloy cathode with a conversion-dissolution/deposition mechanism for high-performance zinc batteries
Abstract
Although a large number of intercalation cathode materials for aqueous Zn batteries have been reported, limited intercalation capacity precludes achieving a higher energy density. Here, for this work, we develop a high-performance aqueous Zn battery based on BiSb alloy (Bi0.5Sb0.5) using a high-concentrated strong-basic polyelectrolyte. We demonstrate that a conversion-dissolution/deposition electrochemical mechanism (BiSb ↔ Bi + SbO2– ↔ Bi + SbO3– ↔ Bi2O3) through in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) characterizations with the help of density functional theory calculations. The BiSb cathode delivers large capacity of 512 mAh g–1 at 0.3 Ag–1 and superior rate capability of 90 mAh g–1 even at 20 Ag–1, and long-term cyclability with capacity retentions of 184 mAh g–1 after 600 cycles at 0.5 Ag–1 and 130 mAh g–1 after 1300 cycles at 1 Ag–1. Remarkably, even at temperatures as low as –10 and –20 °C, capacities of 210 and 197 mAh g–1 are reserved at 1 Ag–1, respectively. Moreover, the prepared pouch Zn//BiSb battery delivers a high energy density of 303 Wh kg–1BiSb at 0.3 Ag–1. When coupled with a high concentration polyelectrolyte, the Zn/BiSb battery exhibits an excellent performance over a wide temperature range (–40 to 40more »
