Direct synthesis of metal selenide hybrids as superior sodium storage anodes

Abstract

Transition metal selenides (TMSs) are widely used as anode in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their good electrical conductivity high energy density. Herein, we reported and prepared a class of...

A mini-review focusing on ambient-pressure chemical vapor deposition (AP-CVD) based synthesis of layered transition metal selenides for energy storage applications

“…For instance, the aggregation of TMDC nanosheets induced by van der Waals attraction can be effectively inhibited when hybridizing with other materials. [64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73] Thus, the large surface area of TMDC nanosheets could be well maintained. In addition, other layered TMSes with intricate hierarchical structures or variable morphology can be synthesized by growing layered TMSes on substrates.…”

Recent Advances of Pore Structure in Disordered Carbons for Sodium Storage: A Mini Review

“…For anode materials, alloys, transition metal oxides, metal-organic frameworks and various carbonaceous materials have been widely reported in recent years. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Similarly, multiple strategies were adopted to enhance performance that involve morphology-design to promote ions diffusion [28][29] and defect-introduction to create active sites, [30] and so on.…”

“…In terms of cathode materials, a series of elaborate compounds including layered oxides, Prussian blue, polyanionic compounds, organic materials, [6–11] and advanced technologies such as heteroatom‐doping, [12–15] surface modification, [16–17] heterojunction building, [18–20] have been developed to achieve high energy density and excellent stability. For anode materials, alloys, transition metal oxides, metal‐organic frameworks and various carbonaceous materials have been widely reported in recent years [21–27] . Similarly, multiple strategies were adopted to enhance performance that involve morphology‐design to promote ions diffusion [28–29] and defect‐introduction to create active sites, [30] and so on.…”
