Recently, polyanionic material has been identified as the most attractive choice for the cathode in sodium-ion batteries. However, the poor electronic conductivity of Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF) limits its electrochemical performance, while the presence of vanadium increases material costs. To address these challenges, we have synthesized carbon-coated Fe, Ni dual-doped NVPF (Na3V1.9Fe0.01Ni0.09(PO4)2F3) via a rota tumbler assisted sol-gel process and reported for the first time. Comprehensive studies reveal that dual doping significantly affects the structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties of the material. Rietveld refinement shows that doping adjusts the crystal structure, enlarging Na⁺ diffusion pathways and enhancing diffusion kinetics. Na3V1.9Fe0.01Ni0.09(PO4)2F3 exhibits a superior capacity of 115.58 mAhg−1 at 0.1C, 92.86 mAhg−1 at 2C, 87.79 % cyclic retention at 2C after 500 cycles. The optimized material demonstrates robust performance across a wide temperature range (55 °C to −21.1 °C). Furthermore, full-cell constructed using Na3V1.9Fe0.01Ni0.09(PO4)2F3 as cathode and hard carbon as anode delivers an impressive capacity of 87.01 mAhg−1 at 1C and a retention of 94.50 % for 100 cycles at 0.5C. Moreover, reducing the vanadium content in the cathode helps lower the overall manufacturing costs. Our research demonstrates that Na3V1.9Fe0.01Ni0.09(PO4)2F3 is a promising option for a high-performance cathode in sodium-ion batteries.

We suggest a novel bioelectrochemical approach for simultaneous precious metals recovery from Au(I)- and Ag(I)-dithiosulfate complexes with equivalent concentrations of Ag+ and Au+ in a two-chamber microbial fuel cell. The graphitized paper, used as a cathode, was short-circuited with the bioanode of a sediment microbial fuel cell thus operating the system as a microbial electrochemical snorkel without additional energy input. The generated current, the cathodic, and the anodic potentials were continuously recorded. Cyclic voltammetry was carried out as a fast method for the determination of the ion concentration depletion in the catholyte. The bimetallic deposits on the cathode surface have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, etc. It was established that the silver and gold particles are deposited at zero valence state only under polarization in proportion 0.89:1.00 on the cathode. The Au-Ag recovery of 96.7 ± 3.3 % was achieved for 24h of operation in short-circuited mode, and the cathodic efficiency approached 100 %. The obtained bimetallic deposits reveal better performance as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions compared to deposits obtained from the individual thiosulfate complexes of both metals suggesting their combined use as modified cathodes.

In pursuing sustainable energy solutions, there is growing interest in flexible thermoelectric generators, which can convert body heat into electricity. This study introduces a strategy to improve performance by integrating novel Tau-shaped fins as an advanced heat sink and perforated polyimide substrate to enhance flexibility. The fins are designed and optimized for maximum heat dissipation and electric power output. The Tau-shaped fins characterized by this research have a unique bend structure, offering enhanced surface area for heat dissipation and improved fluid flow dynamics compared to conventional designs.
Employing numerical simulations and experimental validation, the study shows that integrating Tau-shaped fins with a flexible thermoelectric generator at a 0.708 Ω load resistance and a temperature gradient of 17 °C resulted in a maximum power output of 253.62 μW, with a power density of 188.48 μW/cm2 over an effective area of 1.3456 cm2, making a more than fourfold increase in power output compared to a generator without Tau-shaped fins. The findings highlight the potential of Tau-shaped fins to significantly enhance the power output of flexible thermoelectric generators, making them suitable for powering small-scale wearable electronics.

The growing demand for advanced technologies to support the Internet of Things has prompted the search for innovative, flexible, lightweight, and cost-effective optoelectronic devices for large-scale applications. Photodetectors (PDs) convert optical signals into measurable electrical signals, making them essential in fields such as health monitoring, optical communication, and solar cells. This work embeds inorganic ZnO and CuO nanoparticles, as well as CsPbI3 perovskite nanocrystals, in flexible and stretchable thermoplastic copolymer styrene ethylene butylene styrene (SEBS). The films were processed using the doctor blade technique and evaluated for their mechanical, optical, morphological, and thermal properties. Interdigitated electrodes were screen-printed on the films, which were then irradiated with visible and X-ray radiation to assess their electrical properties. Pristine SEBS films showed consistent conductivity under all irradiation conditions. In turn, SEBS@ZnO films showed increased conductivity under visible irradiation (∼9.9 × 10−5(Ω·mm)−1) but minimal response to X-rays, while CuO@SEBS films exhibited conductivity under both visible light and X-rays, with slightly higher conductivity under X-ray irradiation (∼6.2 × 10−6(Ω·mm)−1) compared to visible light (∼2.8 × 10−6(Ω·mm)−1). Finally, SEBS@CsPbI3 films uniquely responded to X-ray irradiation with a conductivity of ∼5.9 × 10−4(Ω·mm)−1. These findings highlight the potential of flexible polymer-based composites for diverse applications, paving the way for lightweight, cost-effective, and adaptable PD systems.

Si undergoes significant volume change over cycles which degrades the structural integrity and stability of the electrode. This volume change is the primary barrier to the commercialization of Si anodes, and it is more pronounced for Si particle sizes over 150 nm. In this study, a crosslinked polymer binder is developed using poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) (PAAM) with enhanced elasticity compared to the widely used poly(acrylic acid). PAAM is further grafted with boronic acid and dopamine, yielding PAAM-B-D, a binder with improved adhesion due to its 3D crosslinked network. Additionally, 350-nm Si is coated with cyclized polyacrylonitrile (cPAN) and heat-treated to form a conjugated structure. The cPAN-coated Si (cSi) exhibits enhanced conductivity and mechanical stiffness and is used as an active material. The developed Si anode effectively combines cPAN-coated Si with the crosslinked network formed in the PAAM-B-D polymer for enhanced adhesion. The cSi@PAAM-B-D electrode sufficiently maintains its structural integrity and mitigates the Si volume change even with the large-sized 350-nm Si. The cSi@PAAM-B-D exhibits a high initial Coulombic efficiency of 86.5 %, at a Si mass loading of 2 mg cm−2. It also shows a capacity retention of 83.6 % and a high areal capacity of 3 mAh cm−2 after 50 cycles.

An effective strategy for CO2 electrolysis by solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) is to design high-performance cathode material by interface engineering. In this work, a Ni-doped Sr0.95Ti0.3Fe0.7O3-δ/Ce0.9Gd0.1O2-δ (denoted as STFN/GDCN) nanofiber composite is directly obtained via electrospinning. Then, Ni nanoparticles are dual-exsolved by 10%H2/Ar reduction to in-situ anchor on the surface of STFN and GDCN (denoted as Ni@STFN/GDCN), which is used as SOECs cathode. This developed composite cathode not only facilitates CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) rate but also resists thermal aggregation and carbon deposition. The Ni@STFN/GDCN cathode operating in pure CO2 with an applied voltage of 1.6 V achieves a current density of 1.85 A cm−2, surpassing most of the advanced electrodes reports by other works. Furthermore, the CO2RR testing at a current density of 1.5 A cm−2 shows no significant voltage fluctuations during 180 h, demonstrating excellent long-term stability. Our testing results show that the in-situ dual-exsolved nanometal anchoring on heterogeneous composite nanofiber is a reliable and stable SOEC cathode for direct and highly efficient CO2 electrolysis.
利用固体氧化物电解槽(SOEC)电解二氧化碳的有效策略是通过界面工程设计高性能阴极材料。在这项工作中,通过电纺丝直接获得了掺镍的 Sr0.95Ti0.3Fe0.7O3-δ/Ce0.9Gd0.1O2-δ (简称 STFN/GDCN)纳米纤维复合材料。然后,通过 10%H2/Ar还原法将镍纳米粒子双溶解,原位锚定在STFN和GDCN表面(记为Ni@STFN/GDCN),用作SOECs阴极。所开发的这种复合阴极不仅能提高二氧化碳还原反应(CO2RR)的速率,还能防止热聚集和碳沉积。镍@STFN/GDCN阴极在纯二氧化碳中工作时,外加电压为 1.6 V,电流密度达到 1.85 A cm-2,超过了其他研究报告中的大多数先进电极。此外,在电流密度为 1.5 A cm-2 的 CO2RR 测试中,电压在 180 小时内没有明显波动,显示出出色的长期稳定性。测试结果表明,异质复合纳米纤维上的原位双溶解纳米金属锚定是一种可靠、稳定的 SOEC 阴极,可直接高效地电解二氧化碳。

Aluminum-air batteries with acidic xanthan-based gel polymer electrolytes and metal-free cathodes made of wood-derived activated carbons have been prepared and their electrochemical performances have been compared with those of the same cells assembled with benchmark platinum/carbon cathodes. Three-electrode electrochemical tests made possible to decouple the anodic and cathodic contributions during the functioning of the cells, allowing unambiguous interpretations of the electrode processes. Compared to the platinum/carbon cathodes, the cathodic potentials of the cheaper wood-derived cathodes show higher values, responsible for the enhanced cell potentials. The galvanostatic impedance spectroscopy carried out at different discharge currents and during discharge tests highlighted a lower impedance for both the charge transfer reaction and the mass transport phenomena of the activated carbon compared to the platinum/carbon one. We found that cells made with xanthan-based polymer gel electrolyte and wood-derived activated carbon have stable potentials at around 1 V @ 1 mA cm−2, moderate capacity of about 25 mAh cm−2 and gravimetric capacities that can reach the outstanding value of 2682 mAh g−1 even at low discharge currents.
我们制备了使用酸性黄原胶聚合物电解质和木质活性碳制成的无金属阴极的铝空气电池,并将其电化学性能与使用基准铂/碳阴极组装的相同电池进行了比较。通过三电极电化学测试,可以将电池运行过程中的阳极和阴极贡献解耦,从而对电极过程做出明确的解释。与铂/碳阴极相比,廉价木材衍生阴极的阴极电位值更高,这也是电池电位增强的原因。在不同的放电电流下和放电测试过程中进行的电静电阻抗光谱分析表明,与铂/碳阴极相比,活性碳阴极的电荷转移反应和质量传输现象的阻抗较低。我们发现,使用黄原胶聚合物凝胶电解质和木质活性炭制成的电池电位稳定在 1 V @ 1 mA cm-2 左右,容量适中,约为 25 mAh cm-2,即使在低放电电流下,重力容量也能达到 2682 mAh g-1 的卓越值。

The galvanostatic impedance spectroscopy carried out at different discharge currents and during discharge tests highlighted a lower impedance for both the charge transfer reaction and the mass transport phenomena of the activated carbon compared to the platinum/carbon one. We found that cells made with xanthan-based polymer gel electrolyte and wood-derived activated carbon have stable potentials at around 1 V @ 1 mA cm<sup>−2</sup>, moderate capacity of about 25 mAh cm<sup>−2</sup> and gravimetric capacities that can reach the outstanding value of 2682 mAh g<sup>−1</sup> even at low discharge currents.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":377,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Power Sources","volume":"626 ","pages":"Article 235784"},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142656580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surface functionalization of two-dimensional (2D) materials like Sc2C MXenes offers a promising avenue for tailoring their properties for various applications. At the same time, significant research has focused on pure terminations involving oxygen (-O), fluorine (-F), or hydroxyl (-OH) groups. Binary surface functionalization still needs to be explored. Our work addresses this gap by investigating binary functionalized Sc2C monolayers, specifically Sc2CFN and Sc2COS. Using first-principles calculations, we explore the structural, electronic, and quantum capacitance (CQ) properties of pristine Sc2C and functionalized Sc2CFN and Sc2COS. The CQ measurements reveal distinctive electronic behaviour, with Sc2CFN and Sc2COS exhibiting indirect bandgaps of 0.90 and 1.48 eV, respectively. Introducing functional groups induces a metal-to-semiconductor transition, enhancing charge storage at the cathode and increasing the CQ to 371.64 and 341.23 μF/cm2 for Sc2CFN and Sc2COS, respectively. As far as energy applications are concerned, we also calculate the Shockley-Queisser (SQ) efficiency, which is a widely accepted quantity to get an estimate of the photovoltaic efficiency of 28.77 % for Sc2CFN and 32.97 % for Sc2COS materials. Additionally, we analyze the current-voltage (IV) characteristics, uncovering negative differential conductance (NDC) effects in Sc2COS, indicative of its potential for fast molecular switching applications. Our study provides valuable insights into the properties of binary functionalized Sc2C MXenes, paving the way for their utilization in energy storage and nanoelectronic devices.

In recent years, lithium (Li) has become a valuable commodity widely used in rechargeable batteries. The present study aims to extract battery-grade lithium-ion, as lithium hydroxide (LiOH), from lithium chloride (LiCl) solution by the membrane electrolysis process. Experiments are performed using a commercial cation exchange membrane and an indigenous High flux-Nanofiltration 300 alkali resistant (HF-NF 300 AR) nanoporous membrane. The dual-chamber electrolytic cell incorporates a selective membrane to separate the feed and concentrate chambers containing LiCl solution and deionized water. These two chambers are connected with titanium electrodes through the external circuit. The in-situ design of the compact two-chambered acrylic electrolytic cell helps to separate metal ions from ionizable salts of sodium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, etc. The experiment is conducted on a laboratory scale by varying the LiCl concentration at voltages of 24 V and 36 V. The feed and concentrate solutions are analyzed for pH, conductivity, and total dissolved solids. Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry evaluates the presence of metal ions in the solution. The study shows effective metal ion recovery and separation to achieve battery-grade Li.

Physicochemical lithium-ion battery models are promising for advanced battery management systems because they can estimate internal electrochemical states to ensure battery durability and safety. However, these models involve numerous unknown parameters to be identified, and conventional terminal voltage measurements are insufficient for reliable parameter identification. Dynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (DEIS), which can be measured in real time during charging, provides more comprehensive battery characteristics than voltage measurements alone. Therefore, this study develops a lumped-parameter version of joint time-frequency physicochemical models, reducing the number of model parameters and enabling DEIS response simulation. A parameter sensitivity analysis is performed on terminal voltage and DEIS responses under different charging currents and impedance frequencies. The results indicate that 24 model parameters exhibit varying degrees of sensitivity for terminal voltage and dynamic impedance real and imaginary parts. For most parameters, low-current charging enhances their impedance sensitivity, while high-current charging increases their voltage sensitivity. Based on the sensitivity rankings for voltage and DEIS responses, the 24 parameters are divided into eight groups. For each parameter group, appropriate response selections for identification are determined. This study can assist in improving parameter identification of battery models and developing advanced battery management systems.
物理化学锂离子电池模型可以估算内部电化学状态,从而确保电池的耐用性和安全性,因此在先进的电池管理系统中大有可为。然而,这些模型需要识别大量未知参数,而传统的端电压测量不足以进行可靠的参数识别。动态电化学阻抗谱(DEIS)可在充电过程中实时测量,比单纯的电压测量能提供更全面的电池特性。因此,本研究开发了时频联合物理化学模型的整块参数版本,减少了模型参数数量,实现了 DEIS 响应模拟。在不同充电电流和阻抗频率下,对终端电压和 DEIS 响应进行了参数敏感性分析。结果表明,24 个模型参数对终端电压和动态阻抗的实部和虚部表现出不同程度的敏感性。对大多数参数而言,小电流充电会增强其阻抗灵敏度,而大电流充电则会提高其电压灵敏度。根据电压和 DEIS 响应的灵敏度排序,24 个参数被分为八组。针对每个参数组,确定了适当的识别响应选择。这项研究有助于改进电池模型的参数识别和开发先进的电池管理系统。
