Nanoscale localized growth of SnSb for general-purpose high performance alkali (Li, Na, K) ion storage

Integrated Anodes from Heteroatoms (N, S, and F) Co-Doping Antimony/Carbon Composite for Efficient Alkaline Ion (Li+/K+) Storage

“…As the temperature rises to 900 °C, the Sb and C components are eventually oxidized to Sb 2 O 4 and CO 2 , respectively. 36,37 The calculated contents of Sb for the three samples are 13.8, 36.1, and 42.2 wt % (Figure 2d), which is consistent with the initial amount of SbF 3 . The elemental composition and chemical states are explored via Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).…”

Bimetallic-based composites for potassium-ion storage: challenges and perspectives

“…3h). 65 As shown in Fig. 3i, SnSb was encapsulated in a double N-doped carbon network, leading to a limitation in the growth of SnSb nanoparticles.…”

Lightweight and Flexible 3D ERGO@Cu/PA Mesh Current Collector of Li Metal Battery for Dendrite Suppression

“…To satisfy the requirement of developing intermittent energy and electric vehicles for high energy density batteries, rechargeable Li metal-based batteries with evidently high-specific theoretical capacity of 3860 mAh g –1 and the smallest working potential (−3.04 V vs the standard hydrogen electrode) arouse great concern. − Nonetheless, because of the instinct nature of Li metal, during the reiterant Li deposition/dissolution process, dendritic Li crystals continue to grow and eventually penetrate the diaphragm, resulting in internal short-circuiting and complete failure. − Besides, the enormous volume expansion of metallic Li during the cycle destroys the solid electrolyte interface (SEI). − This will lead to continuous loss of active Li and electrolyte, making cells have lower CE.…”
