In this paper, we report an interesting approach for efficient synthesis of uniform sub-micrometer carbon supported Fe 3 O 4 hollow spheres. Fe 3 O 4 precursor was first coated on the surface of sulfonated polystyrene hollow microspheres. Then, the precursor and sulfonated polystyrene hollow microspheres were converted into Fe 3 O 4 and carbon hollow spheres when heated at 550°C in N 2 atmosphere. The obtained Fe 3 O 4 @ carbon hollow microspheres exhibit enhanced lithium storage properties compared with Fe 2 O 3 hollow spheres as anode materials, delivering a reversible capacity of 612 mA hg−1 after 50 cycles at a high current density of 400 mA g−1.

AbstractAs a typical metal selenide, CoSe is a kind of foreground anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its two-dimensional layer structure, good electrical conductivity, and high theoretical capacity. In this work, the original CoSe/N-doped carbon (CoSe/NC) composites were synthesized using ZIF-67 as a precursor, in which the CoSe nanoparticles are encapsulated in NC nanolayers and they are connected through C–Se bonds. The coating structure and strong chemical coupling make the NC nanolayers could better effectively enhance the lithium storage properties of CoSe/NC composites. As a consequence, the CoSe/NC composites deliver a reversible capacity of 310.11 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles at 1.0 A g−1. Besides, the CoSe/NC composites show a distinct incremental behavior of capacity.

Shell spinel LiNi[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]O4 hollow microspheres were successfully synthesized by MnCO3 template, and characterized by XRD, SEM, and TEM. The results show that the hollow LiNi[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]O4 cathode has good cycle stability to reach 124.5, 119.8, and 96.6[Formula: see text]mAh/g at 0.5, 1, and 5 C, the corresponding retention rate of 98.1%, 98.2%, and 98.0% after 50 cycles at 20[Formula: see text]C, and the reversible capacity of 94.6[Formula: see text]mAh/g can be obtained at 1 C rate at 55[Formula: see text]C, 83.3% retention after 100 cycles. As the temperature decreases from 10[Formula: see text]C to [Formula: see text]C, the resistance of [Formula: see text] increases from 5.5 [Formula: see text] to 135 [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] from 27 [Formula: see text] to 353.2 [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] from 12.7 [Formula: see text] to 73.0 [Formula: see text]. Moreover, the B constant and [Formula: see text] activation energy are 4480[Formula: see text]K and 37.22[Formula: see text]KJ/mol for the NTC spinel material, respectively.

To improve Li storage capacity and the structural stability of Ti3C2 MXene-based electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), a facile strategy is developed to construct three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical porous Ti3C2/bimetal-organic framework (NiCo-MOF) nanoarchitectures as anodes for high-performance LIBs. 2D Ti3C2 nanosheets are coupled with NiCo-MOF nanoflakes induced by hydrogen bonds to form 3D Ti3C2/NiCo-MOF composite films through vacuum-assisted filtration technology. The morphology and electrochemical properties of Ti3C2/NiCo-MOF are influenced by the mass ratio of MOF to Ti3C2. Owing to the interconnected porous structures with a high specific surface area, rapid charge transfer process, and Li+ diffusion rate, the Ti3C2/NiCo-MOF-0.4 electrode delivers a high reversible capacity of 402 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1 after 300 cycles; excellent rate performance (256 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1); and long-term stability with a capacity retention of 85.7% even after 400 cycles at a high current density, much higher than pristine Ti3C2 MXene. The results highlight that Ti3C2/NiCo-MOF have great potential in the development of high-performance energy storage devices.
