LVP@C with stabilized electronic conductive layer is prepared by a facile organic–inorganic hybrid hydrogel-enabled methodology, in which LVP is chemically interacting with carbon framework via P–C and P–O–C bonds.
In this work, we designed and successfully synthesized an interconnected carbon nanosheet/MoS2/polyaniline hybrid (ICN/MoS2/PANI) by combining the hydrothermal method and in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. The as-synthesized ICNs/MoS2/PANI hybrid showed a “caramel treat-like” architecture in which the sisal fiber derived ICNs were used as hosts to grow “follower-like” MoS2 nanostructures, and the PANI film was controllably grown on the surface of ICNs and MoS2. As a LIBs anode material, the ICN/MoS2/PANI electrode possesses excellent cycling performance, superior rate capability, and high reversible capacity. The reversible capacity retains 583 mA h/g after 400 cycles at a high current density of 2 A/g. The standout electrochemical performance of the ICN/MoS2/PANI electrode can be attributed to the synergistic effects of ICNs, MoS2 nanostructures, and PANI. The ICN framework can buffer the volume change of MoS2, facilitate electron transfer, and supply more lithium inset sites. The MoS2 nanostructures provide superior rate capability and reversible capacity, and the PANI coating can further buffer the volume change and facilitate electron transfer.
In this paper, SiO2 aerogels were prepared by a sol–gel method. Using Ketjen Black (KB), Super P (SP) and Acetylene Black (AB) as a conductive agent, respectively, the effects of the structure and morphology of the three conductive agents on the electrochemical performance of SiO2 gel anode were systematically investigated and compared. The results show that KB provides far better cycling and rate performance than SP and AB for SiO2 anode electrodes, with a reversible specific capacity of 351.4 mA h g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 after 200 cycles and a stable 311.7 mA h g−1 at 1.0 A g−1 after 500 cycles. The enhanced mechanism of the lithium storage performance of SiO2-KB anode was also proposed.
