Aluminium has shown its superiority in stabilization of the monoclinic VO2(B) in free-standing nanobelts. In this paper, aluminium-doped VO2(B) nanobelts are successfully fabricated by a facile one-step hydrothermal method and used as cathode for lithium-ion battery. XPS results show that Al-doping promotes the formation of high valence state of vanadium in VO2(B) nanobelts. Due to the accommodation of valence state of vanadium and lattice volume, Al-doped VO2(B) nanobelts used as the cathode material for lithium-ion batteries exhibit better lithium storage properties with high capacity of 172[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] and cycling stability than undoped VO2(B) nanobelts. This work demonstrates that the doping of aluminium can significantly enhance the electrochemical performance of VO2(B), suggesting that appropriate cationic doping is an efficient path to improve the electrochemical performance of electrode materials.

The demand for well-designed nanostructured composites with enhanced electrochemical performance for lithium-ion batteries electrode materials has been emerging. In order to improve the electrochemical performance of MoS2-based anode materials, MoS2 nanosheets integrated with g-C3N4 (MoS2/g-C3N4 composite) was synthesized by a facile heating treatment from the precursors of thiourea and sodium molybdate at 550 °C under N2 gas flow. The structure and composition of MoS2/g-C3N4 were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and elemental analysis. The lithium storage capability of the MoS2/g-C3N4 composite was evaluated, indicating high capacity and stable cycling performance at 1 C (A·g−1) with a reversible capacity of 1204 mA·h·g−1 for 200 cycles. This result is believed the role of g-C3N4 as a supporting material to accommodate the volume change and improve charge transport for nanostructured MoS2. Additionally, the contribution of the pseudocapacitive effect was also calculated to further clarify the enhancement in Li-ion storage performance of the composite.

Alloying-based electrode materials (e.g. Si, Sn, Sb, Bi, etc.) are the promising anode candidates for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to their high specific capacities, but they suffer from huge volume changes upon lithium/sodium insertion/extraction processes. On the other hand, such alloying anodes usually require a complicated and high energy-consumption synthesis process (e.g. Si anode by a magnesiothermic reduction at over [Formula: see text]C, Sn, Sb and Bi anodes by a high-temperature carbothermic reduction at 600–[Formula: see text]C), thus limiting their practical application for replacing low-cost graphite. In this work, we develop a straightforward solid-state strategy for a general synthesis of metal nanodots (Sn, Sb and Bi) supported on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by using the reduction potential differences of metal salts and NaBH4 as the reaction power at room temperature. Owing to the very mild reaction, the resulted active component is small enough (2–5[Formula: see text]nm) with diffusion-less and nucleation-less barriers upon alloying/dealloying reaction, thus enabling high electrode stability and high capacity retention. Taking Sn anode as an example, the obtained Sn/CNTs deliver a high reversible capacity of 415[Formula: see text]mAh g[Formula: see text] at 0.5[Formula: see text]A g[Formula: see text] after 1000 cycles without obvious capacity decay. Such findings indicate that the proposed solid-state synthetic method could offer a great potential for realizing large-scale and economic applications of energy storage materials.
