“…Sb is a promising anode material for high-power lithium-ion batteries due to its moderate operating potential of 0.8 V versus Li/Li + , and higher specific capacity of 660 mAh g –1 , compared with commercial graphite and lithium titanate. − However, the capacity of Sb electrodes still decays significantly with cycling, which was ascribed to the formation of intermediate phases between Sb and lithium . In addition, Sb electrodes undergo a large volume expansion (134%) during lithiation, resulting in severe mechanical issues such as pulverization, loss of contact, and delamination. − To overcome these issues, the most common approach is to introduce carbon-based − or other inactive matrixes, such as Ni, − Cu, and Co, to buffer the large volume expansion. A carbon matrix is effective in suppressing material cracking and improving electrical conductivity, but the mass production of nanocarbon materials is rather difficult. − Incorporation of inactive matrixes into Sb reduces the relative amount of volume expansion but at the same time decreases its specific capacity to less than 300 mAh g –1 , which is even lower than that of commercial graphite.…”

Reversible Interaction of Sb with an Active Se Matrix Enhances the Cycle Stability of Electrodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Sb is a promising anode material for lithiumion batteries, but it suffers from fast capacity fading. Previous works have shown that the combination of Sb with an active S or Se matrix improves the cycle stability of the electrodes, although there was no clear verification of the exact mechanism. In this study, we used ex situ X-ray diffraction, ex situ Raman spectroscopy, and in situ dilatometry to study the interactions of Sb with S and Se and to reveal the reasons for the superior cycle stability of Sb 2 Se 3 electrodes. Our results show that the poor stability of Sb electrodes is due to the crystallization of Li 3 Sb, leading to the large volume change, high stress, and mechanical failure of the particles. Addition of S or Se into the matrix can inhibit the formation of crystalline Li 3 Sb, thus improving capacity retention. The stabilization effect is stronger for a Se matrix than for a S matrix because it enables the re-formation of Sb−Se bonds upon delithiation and prevents phase segregation. In addition, the Se matrix reduces the volume change of the electrode during the charge and discharge, preventing electrode cracking and resulting in good mechanical reversibility.

“…On the other hand, in order to improve cycle life, compounding antimony oxychloride with other functional materials can also bring significant results. For example, the composited material of pure phase Sb 4 O 5 Cl 2 particles and graphene aerogel can have a better electrochemical performance used as anode of SIBs, the specific capacity can be maintained at 400 mAh g −1 after 50 cycles [115].…”

Engineering Nanostructured Antimony-Based Anode Materials for Sodium Ion Batteries

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for energy storage due to their low cost and the large abundance of sodium resources. The search for new anode materials for SIBs has become a vital approach to satisfying the ever-growing demands for better performance with higher energy/power densities, improved safety and a longer cycle life. Recently, antimony (Sb) has been extensively researched as a promising candidate due to its high specific capacity through an alloying/dealloying process. In this review article, we will focus on different categories of the emerging Sb based anode materials with distinct sodium storage mechanisms including Sb, two-dimensional antimonene and antimony chalcogenide (Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3). For each part, we emphasize that the novel construction of an advanced nanostructured anode with unique structures could effectively improve sodium storage properties. We also highlight that sodium storage capability can be enhanced through designing advanced nanocomposite materials containing Sb based materials and other carbonaceous modification or metal supports. Moreover, the recent advances in operando/in-situ investigation of its sodium storage mechanism are also summarized. By providing such a systematic probe, we aim to stress the significance of novel nanostructures and advanced compositing that would contribute to enhanced sodium storage performance, thus making Sb based materials as promising anodes for next-generation high-performance SIBs.

In the scenario of renewable clean energy gradually replacing fossil energy, grid‐scale energy storage systems are urgently necessary, where Na‐ion batteries (SIBs) could supply crucial support, due to abundant Na raw materials and a similar electrochemical mechanism to Li‐ion batteries. The limited energy density is one of the major challenges hindering the commercialization of SIBs. Alloy‐type anodes with high theoretical capacities provide good opportunities to address this issue. However, these anodes suffer from the large volume expansion and inferior conductivity, which induce rapid capacity fading, poor rate properties, and safety issues. Carbon‐based alloy‐type composites (CAC) have been extensively applied in the effective construction of anodes that improved electrochemical performance, as the carbon component could alleviate the volume change and increase the conductivity. Here, state‐of‐the‐art CAC anode materials applied in SIBs are summarized, including their design principle, characterization, and electrochemical performance. The corresponding alloying mechanism along with its advantages and disadvantages is briefly presented. The crucial roles and working mechanism of the carbon matrix in CAC anodes are discussed in depth. Lastly, the existing challenges and the perspectives are proposed. Such an understanding critically paves the way for tailoring and designing suitable alloy‐type anodes toward practical applications.
