Mixed Anionic and Cationic Redox Chemistry in a Tetrathiomolybdate Amorphous Coordination Framework

Abstract: We report the electrochemistry of a hitherto unexplored Na2MoS4 phase as a conversion electrode material for Na‐ and Li‐ion batteries. The material adopts an amorphous coordination polymer structure with mixed Mo and S valences. XPS and XRD analysis reveal a complex interplay between Mo and S redox chemistry, while excluding the formation of free sulfur, lithium sulfide, or other crystalline phases. Na2MoS4 behaves as a mixed ionic–electronic conductor, with electronic conductivity of 6.1×10−4 S cm−1, that per… Show more

“…Recently, Zhu et al report the electrochemistry of a hitherto unexplored Na 2 MoS 4 phase behaved as a mixed ionic-electronic conductor as a conversion electrode material that permits carbon-free application in SIBs. [4] These materials can be sorted as layered transition metal oxide compounds (TMOs), [5] polyanionic compounds, [6] Prussian blue analogs (PBAs), [7] and organic cathodes. [8] Phosphates materials, such as NaFePO 4 , Na 3 Fe 2 (PO 4 ) 3 Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 , and Na 2 MPO 4 F (M = Fe, Mn, Co, and Ni), have obtained the most attention for their outstanding stability and high operating voltage generated by effect of the phosphate polyanion.…”

“…Metastable phases and materials for energy applications remain sporadically studied yet seem to hold significant promises. [ 12a ] The poor exploration comes from the fact that it is usually considered to work with stable thermodynamic phases as these are also much easier to prepare. It is also typically assumed that the thermodynamically stable phases may also be the best ones with the best electrochemical performances, as is indeed the case for most positive or negative battery electrode materials.…”

“…However, many metastable (or transient) phases have been shown already to outperform their stable counterparts. [ 12a ] Furthermore essential is the richness of the multiple possibilities here, hence the multitude of the reaction channels a process can follow before reaching its lowest energy equilibrium might be endless (Figure 1B ). Our work analyses only a few of these, available in the simple chemical, yet complex compositional and phases diagram of Na‐Fe‐PO 4 ‐F.…”

“…Lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) exhibit plenty of advantages, including high gravimetric/volumetric capacities, power density, long lifespan and start attaining practically appealing cost metrics. [ 1–3 ] Ever since Sony Co. commercialized the world's first LIBs with a tailor‐made carbon negative electrode, [ 4 ] great efforts have been devoted to exploring novel energy storage materials. [ 5–20 ] Graphite is commonplace among commercial LIBs because of low redox potential, good stability and electrical conductivity.…”
