文摘Sluggish kinetics of Mg^2+intercalation and low working potential seriously hinder the development of highenergy-density magnesium-ion batteries(MIBs).Hence developing cathode materials with fast Mg^2+diffusion and high working voltage is a key to overcome the obstacles in MIBs.Herein,a tetragonal NaV2O2(PO4)2 F/reduced graphene oxide(r GO)is proposed as an effective Mg^2+host for the first time.It exhibits the highest average discharge voltage(3.3 V vs.Mg^2+/Mg),fast diffusion kinetics of Mg^2+with the average diffusivity of 2.99×10^-10 cm^2s^-1,and ultralong cycling stability(up to 9500 cycles).The Mg^2+storage mechanism of NaV2O2(PO4)2 F/r GO is demonstrated as a single-phase(de)intercalation reaction by in situ X-ray diffraction(XRD)technology.Density functional theory(DFT)computations further reveal that Mg^2+ions tend to migrate along the a direction.X-ray absorption near edge structure(XANES)demonstrates a decrease in the average valence of vanadium,and the local coordination environment around vanadium site is highly conserved after magnesiation.Moreover,the assembled NaV2O2(PO4)2 F//Mg0.79NaTi2(PO4)3 Mg-ion full cell exhibits high power and energy densities,which indicates that NaV2O2(PO4)2 F/r GO owns potential for practical applications.This work achieves a breakthrough in the working voltage of cathode materials for MIBs and provides a new opportunity for high-energy-density MIBs.

文摘Rechargeable magnesium batteries are identified as a promising next-generation energy storage system,but their development is hindered by the anode−electrolyte−cathode incompatibilities and passivation of magnesium metal anode.To avoid or alleviate these problems,the exploitation of alternative anode materials is a promising choice.Herein,we present titanium pyrophosphate(TiP_(2)O_(7))as anode materials for magnesium-ion batteries(MIBs)and investigate the effect of the crystal phase on its magnesium storage performance.Compared with the me-tastable layered TiP_(2)O_(7),the thermodynamically stable cubic TiP_(2)O_(7) displays a better rate capability of 72 mAh g^(−1) at 5000 mA g^(−1).Moreover,cubic TiP_(2)O_(7) exhibits excellent cycling stability with the capacity of 60 mAh g^(−1) after 5000 cycles at 1000 mA g^(−1),which are better than pre-viously reported Ti-based anode materials for MIBs.In situ X-ray diffraction technology confirms the single-phase magnesiumion inter-calation/deintercalation reaction mechanism of cubic TiP_(2)O_(7) with a low volume change of 3.2%.In addition,the density functional theory calcu-lation results demonstrate that three-dimensional magnesiumion diffu-sion can be allowed in cubic TiP_(2)O_(7) with a low migration energy barrier of 0.62 eV.Our work demonstrates the promise of TiP_(2)O_(7) as high-rate and long-life anode materials for MIBs and may pave the way for further development of MIBs.

文摘The low-cost and high-capacity metal oxides/oxyhydroxides possess great merits as anodes for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)with high energy density.However,their commercialization is greatly hindered by insufficient rate capability and cyclability.Rational regulations of metal oxides/oxyhydroxides with hollow geometry and disordered atomic frameworks represent efficient ways to improve their electrochemical properties.Herein,we propose a fast alkalietching method to realize the in-situ fabrication of iron oxyhydroxide with one-dimensional(1D)hierarchical hollow nanostructure and amorphous atomic structure from the iron vanadate nanowires.Benefiting from the improved electron/ion kinetics and efficient buffer ability for the volumetric change during the electro-cycles both in nanoscale and atomic level,the graphene-modified amorphous hierarchical FeOOH nanotubes(FeOOH-NTs)display high rate capability(~650 mA h g^−1 at 2000 mA g^−1)and superior long-term cycling stability(463 mA h g^−1 after 1800 cycles),which represents the best cycling performance among the reported FeOOH-based materials.More importantly,the selective dissolutionregrowth mechanism is demonstrated based on the time tracking of the whole transition process,in which the dissolution of FeVO4 and the in-situ selective re-nucleation of FeOOH during the formation of FeOOH-NTs play the key roles.The present strategy is also a general method to prepare various metal(such as Fe,Mn,Co,and Cu)oxides/oxyhydroxides with 1D hierarchical nanostructures.
