Abstract:Metal oxides are promising alkaline battery electrodes with high theoretical capacity, but the low energy density and poor stability make them far away from actual application. Herein, single Bi-MOF derived ultrastable Bi 2 O 3 @C and BiOCl@C anodes are architected via a two-for-one manner. Specifically, optimal Bi 2 O 3 @C anode with hierarchical and porous structure delivers high specific capacity (278.3 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 ) owing to the exposed electrochemical active sites, fast charge transfer, and effic… Show more
“…The synthesis of Bi-MOF was analogous to previous reports [27,31,32]. Typically, 768.90 mg of trimesic acid (H3BTC) (>98%) and 149.88 mg of Bi(NO3)3•5H2O (>99%) were dispersed into 60 mL of methanol at room temperature.…”
Rechargeable potassium ion batteries have long been regarded as one alternative to conventional lithium ion batteries because of their resource sustainability and cost advantages. However, the compatibility between anodes and electrolytes remains to be resolved, impeding their commercial adoption. In this work, the K-ion storage properties of Bi nanoparticles encapsulated in N-doped carbon nanocomposites have been examined in two typical electrolyte solutions, which show a significant effect on potassium insertion/removal processes. In a KFSI-based electrolyte, the N-C@Bi nanocomposites exhibit a high specific capacity of 255.2 mAh g−1 at 0.5 A g−1, which remains at 245.6 mAh g−1 after 50 cycles, corresponding to a high capacity retention rate of 96.24%. In a KPF6-based electrolyte, the N-C@Bi nanocomposites show a specific capacity of 209.0 mAh g−1, which remains at 71.5 mAh g−1 after 50 cycles, corresponding to an inferior capacity retention rate of only 34.21%. Post-investigations reveal the formation of a KF interphase derived from salt decomposition and an intact rod-like morphology after cycling in K2 electrolytes, which are responsible for better K-ion storage properties.
