Fe₂O₃/NiMoO₄ Heterostructured Microspheres as an Anode Material for Long‐Life and High‐Performance Lithium Storage

Abstract

Fe 2 O 3 /NiMoO 4 heterostructured microspheres were prepared by a two-step hydrothermal method followed by calcination. The Fe 2 O 3 component in the composite is evolved from FeMoO 4 , which inherits the advantage of high capacity of FeMoO 4 . The heterogeneous structure of the microspheres can enlarge the contact area between the active material and electrolyte so as to reduce the charge transfer resistance. When applied to the anode of lithium-ion battery, the material shows distinguished lithium storage performance and mechanical robustness, benefiting from the high capacity of Fe 2 O 3 and good stability of NiMoO 4 . Moreover, the voids on the surface of the material effectively buffer the volume effect during the repeated cycling. The specific capacity of the composite can reach 1063 mA h g À 1 and 584 mA h g À 1 after 460 and 420 cycles at 300 mA g À 1 and 2 A g À 1 , respectively. The improvement of the electrochemical performance is attributed to the unique structural characteristics and synergistic effect of its heterogeneous phases.

Three‐Dimensional Porous Diboron Dinitride as a High‐Performance Anode Material for Sodium/Potassium‐Ion Batteries: A First Principles Study

“…[21][22][23] The commonly used anode materials of LIBs are not suitable for SIB/PIBs. [24][25][26] Thus, it is an urgent need to search novel anode materials for SIBs/PIBs with excellent rate performance, high capacity and long-term cycle life.…”

Half‐Metallic PN2 Monolayer as High‐performance Anode Material for Metal Ion (Li, Na and K) Batteries: A First‐Principles Study

“…[1] Among various energy storage systems, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) stand out because of their good reversible capacity, excellent cyclability, and high energy density. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Nonetheless, the practical applications of LIBs are severely impeded by the poor rate capability and low capacity. Moreover, the low natural abundance and uneven distribution of Li resource is another obstacle in the large-scale development of LIBs.…”
