The advantages of LIBs are small size, light weight, low cost, high reversible capacity, long cycle performance, environmental friendliness as well as no memory effect. [3][4][5] Up to certain period of time, commercial graphite has been used for LIBs anodes. However, the graphite anode has to deal with issues, such as low charge storage capability (372 mAh g -1 ) due to the intercalation forming LiC 6 , [6] poor lithium-ion transport rate capability [7] and potential safety, [8] which hampers further application in LIBs. [9] Nowadays, transition metal oxides (TMOs), such as NiO, Fe 3 O 4 , Co 3 O 4 , ZnO, SnO 2 , etc., have been under a vigorous consideration by researchers as anode materials because of the low cost, widespread availability, environmental benignity, and much higher theoretical capacities (sometimes as high as several multitudes of commercial graphite) that they possess. [9,10] However, there still remain the limitations concerning all the TMOs, such as slower ion diffusion, low-capacity reservation, serious aggregation and drastic volume fluctuations during lithium insertion-deinsertion processes, ultimately causing the deformation of anode material, which limit their performances as lithium-ion batteries anodes. [11] There are several ways to overcome the above drawbacks. The first method is to explore the nanoarchitectures that will shorten the charge diffusion length and extend electronic pathway. [12] The second one is to construct special structures (such as hollow, yolk-shell, multishelled), which not only create large electrode-electrolyte contact sites but alleviate the volume changes during cyclic process. [13] Third, to mix multicomponent together is the promising strategy to have the benefit of synergistic effect. Thus, compared to single metal oxides, multicomponent materials favor more notable performance because of the possible synergistic effect. [14] After doping different metals, the metal of active materials can enhance the electrical conductivity and also serve as a catalytic agent, thus improving the electrochemical properties of whole electrode material. [15,16] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are 3D crystalline structures formed with the help of inorganic metal clusters, metal centers, organic linkers, and organometallic components, Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the preeminent technology for energy storage, having the highest energy density for large-scale commercial applications. Owing to üast assiduous studies, a good number of reported advanced anode materials possess excellent electrochemical properties. In this work, a porous C, N dual-doped ZnO/Co composite is successfully prepared by metalorganic frameworks (MOF)-template mediated synthesis method utilizing a self-sacrificing template of bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate framework (denoted as ZnCo-ZIF) and is tested as a lithium-ion battery anode material. Due to the advantageous structural and morphological features, such as well-defined open framework clusters with polyhedron crystal structure, conductive porous c...

In order to deepen the understanding of the role of transition metal oxides in electron transfer at the electrochemical interface, the performance of Zn x Ni1−x Fe2O4 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1) nanomaterials in electrochemical sensing is studied. Nanomaterials are synthesized by simple autocombustion synthesis procedure. Field‐emission scanning electron microscopy characterization shows that the particles have a size between 30 and 70 nm with an average crystallite size between 24 and 35 nm. The bandgap energies of the nanomaterials, as estimated by UV–vis experiments, are in the 2.32–2.56 eV range. The valence band maximum is evaluated using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the position of the conduction band minimum is estimated. The ZnFe2O4 sensor has the best performances: highest rate constant (13.1 ± 2.8 ms−1), lowest peak‐to‐peak separation (386 ± 2 mV), and highest sensitivity (37.75 ± 0.17 μA mM−1). Its limit of detection (7.94 ± 0.04 μM) is second best, and its sensitivity is more than twice the sensitivity of the bare sensor (16.7 ± 0.9 μA mM−1). Nanomaterials energy bands mapping with the experimental redox potentials is performed to predict the electron transfer at the electrochemical interface, and the importance of surface states/defects is highlighted in the electron transfer mechanism.

ZnFe2O4, a Green and High-Capacity Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries: A Review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ferrites, a broad class of ceramic oxides, possess intriguing physico-chemical properties, mainly due to their unique structural features, that, during these last 50–60 years, made them the materials of choice for many different applications. They are, indeed, applied as inductors, high-frequency materials, for electric field suppression, as catalysts and sensors, in nanomedicine for magneto-fluid hyperthermia and magnetic resonance imaging, and, more recently, in electrochemistry. In particular, ZnFe2O4 and its solid solutions are drawing scientists’ attention for the application as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The main reasons are found in the low cost, abundance, and environmental friendliness of both Zn and Fe precursors, high surface-to-volume ratio, relatively short path for Li-ion diffusion, low working voltage of about 1.5 V for lithium extraction, and the high theoretical specific capacity (1072 mA h g−1). However, some drawbacks are represented by fast capacity fading and poor rate capability, resulting from a low electronic conductivity, severe agglomeration, and large volume change during lithiation/delithiation processes. In this review, the main synthesis methods of spinels will be briefly discussed before presenting the most recent and promising electrochemical results on ZnFe2O4 obtained with peculiar morphologies/architectures or as composites, which represent the focus of this review.
