“…A large number of new graphene-containing hybrids was also tested for the fi rst time (see Table 2 ) as LIB anode active materials (e.g., graphene-containing cobaltites, [291][292][293] carbonates, [ 294,295 ] sulfi des, [ 296,297 ] nitrides, [298][299][300][301] [ 309 ] Sb, [ 310 ] Sn-In, [ 311 ] In 2 O 3 , [ 312 ] Co 2 (OH) 3 Cl, [ 313 ] LiVPO 4 F, [ 314 ] V 2 O 3 [ 315 ] and V 2 O 5 [ 316 ] hybrids) but, unfortunately, none could entirely fulfi l the requirements of the ideal anode material for LIBs, although two hybrids [ 291,303 ] displayed a promisingly low 1 st cycle irreversible capacity (i.e., <20%).…”

that its extraordinary properties would enable revolutionary new technologies, which gave birth to the "graphene era". [ 3,4 ] Relying on this scenario, in 2013, the European Union launched the ¤1 billion "Graphene Flagship" project aimed to investigate the properties of this new form of carbon for various applications (e.g., electronics, sensors and energy storage devices), with the ambitious goal of guiding graphene from laboratories to commercial applications within a decade. [ 5,6 ] In the same period, the Chinese Government set up a similar investment to mass-produce graphene as thin fi lms (e.g., for touchscreen electrodes) and platelets (e.g., for use in batteries). [ 6 ] In the following years, hundreds of patents, mainly focused on manufacturing and application in energy storage, were fi led and the worldwide production of graphene and graphene-containing materials rapidly increased. Although a few Chinese industries claimed to already use graphene-containing materials for smartphone production, no revolutionary practical application relying on graphene has been yet developed. [ 6 ] Specifi cally with respect to the battery fi eld, a close analysis of the scientifi c literature reveals a struggle to meet the ambitious initial targets. A potential loss of focus from the fi nal application caused by hype and ease of publication on such a novel matter, together with the delivery of very misleading information [ 7,8 ] and erroneous statements [ 7 ] concerning the use of graphene in batteries are emerging as possible reasons of the ineffective graphene-era outburst. In this progress report, we do not focus on production and classifi cation of graphene and graphene-containing materials, which were already well reported in the past years. [ 3,[9][10][11] In contrast, due to the lack of an exhaustive analysis of the progression of the use of such materials in lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes, we report here a critical evaluation of the most prominent research papers published from 2008 until the end of 2015. As shown in Figure 1 , three different stages of the graphene research in LIB anodes can be distinguished: a fi rst stationary phase between 2008 and 2010 where the lithium-ion storage properties of different graphene and graphene-containing materials were preliminarily explored, a second exponential stage, spanning from 2010 to 2014, where graphene and graphene-containing anode materials were broadly developed and investigated, and fi nally, a third phase, (i.e., starting from 2015), where the research seems to have approached a plateau. After Used as a bare active material or component in hybrids, graphene has been the subject of numerous studies in recent years. Indeed, from the fi rst report that appeared in late July 2008, almost 1600 papers were published as of the end 2015 that investigated the properties of graphene as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Although an impressive amount of data has been collected, a real advance in the fi eld still seems to be missing. In this framework, atten...

Nanostructured layered vanadium oxide as cathode for high-performance sodium-ion batteries: a perspective

2017

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have received intensive attentions owing to the abundant and inexpensive sodium (Na) resource. Layered vanadium oxides are featured with various valence states and corresponding compounds, and through multi-electron reaction they are capable to deliver high Na storage capacity. The rational construction of unique structures is verified to improve their Na storage properties. This perspective provides an overview of recent advances in layered vanadium oxide for SIBs, with a particular focus on construction of novel nanostructures, and mechanism studies via in situ characterization. Finally, we predict possible breakthroughs and future trends that lie ahead for high-performance layered vanadium oxides SIBs cathode.

“…V 2 O 5 is intensively studied materials both as cathode and anode for LIBs because of a high specific capacity, natural abundance, and relatively low cost 17 18 . If consider a fully reduction from V 5+ to V 0 , V 2 O 5 gains a theoretical capacity of 1472 mAhg −1 , the highest capacity among all metal oxides, and thus can be an ideal component for high energy anodes 19 20 21 22 . Despite this unique property, there is limited data on the high potential capacity of the V 2 O 5 anodes that enables a stable cyclic performance 22 23 24 .…”

The superior performance of metal oxide nanocomposites has introduced them as excellent candidates for emerging energy sources, and attracted significant attention in recent years. The drawback of these materials is their inherent structural pulverization which adversely impacts their performance and makes the rational design of stable nanocomposites a great challenge. In this work, functional V2O5-C-SnO2 hybrid nanobelts (VCSNs) with a stable structure are introduced where the ultradispersed SnO2 nanocrystals are tightly linked with glucose on the V2O5 surface. The nanostructured V2O5 acts as a supporting matrix as well as an active electrode component. Compared with existing carbon-V2O5 hybrid nanobelts, these hybrid nanobelts exhibit a much higher reversible capacity and architectural stability when used as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The superior cyclic performance of VCSNs can be attributed to the synergistic effects of SnO2 and V2O5. However, limited data are available for V2O5-based anodes in lithium-ion battery design.
