Abstract

It is still challenging to develop suitable cathode structures for high-rate and stable aqueous Zn-ion batteries. Herein, a phosphating-assisted interfacial engineering strategy is designed for the controllable conversion of NiCo2S4 nanosheets into heterostructured NiCoP/NiCo2S4 as the cathodes in aqueous Zn-ion batteries. The multicomponent heterostructures with rich interfaces can not only improve the electrical conductivity but also enhance the diffusion pathways for Zn-ion storage. As expected, the NiCoP/NiCo2S4 electrode has high performance with a large specific capacity of 251.1 mA h g−1 at a high current density of 10 A g−1 and excellent rate capability (retaining about 76% even at 50 A g−1). Accordingly, the Zn-ion battery using NiCoP/NiCo2S4 as the cathode delivers a high specific capacity (265.1 mA h g−1 at 5A g−1), a long-term cycling stability (96.9% retention after 5000 cycles), and a competitive energy density (444.7 W h kg−1 at the power density of 8.4 kW kg−1). This work therefore provides a simple phosphating-assisted interfacial engineering strategy to construct heterostructured electrode materials with rich interfaces for the development of high-performance energy storage devices in the future.

摘要

目前开发高倍率和稳定的水系锌离子电池电极材料仍然是一个 挑战. 本研究提出了一种磷化辅助界面工程策略, 将NiCo2S4纳米片可 控转化为NiCoP/NiCo2S4异质结构作为水系锌离子电池电极材料. 具有 丰富界面的多组分异质结构不仅提高了电极材料的电导率, 而且增强 了锌离子的扩散路径. 和预期结果一样, NiCoP/NiCo2S4电极材料在 10 A g−1的电流密度下其容量高达251.1 mA h g−1, 且具有优异的倍率性 能(电流密度高达50 A g−1时, 其容量保持约为76%). 此外, 以NiCoP/NiCo2S4为正极组装的锌离子电池也展现了优异的比容量(在5 A g−1的 电流密度下高达265.1mAh g−1), 长循环稳定性(经过5000圈循环后比容 量保持率为96.9%)和高能量密度(在8.4 kW kg−1的功率密度下高达 444.7Wh kg−1). 因此, 本研究为构建具有丰富界面的异质结电极材料 提供了一种简单的磷化辅助界面工程策略, 为未来开发高性能储能器 件提供了理论基础.
