1成果简介

本文,北京服装学院Rui Wang、Xiaoting Zhang等在《Nanotechnology 》期刊发表名为“Flexible electrode of NiTe2/porous graphene film as binder-free anode for lithium-ion batteries”的论文,研究通过真空过滤、退火和碲化处理的连续工艺,在多孔石墨烯薄膜上制备了NiTe2纳米晶(NiTe2@PG)。该结构中,NiTe2纳米晶通过NiTe2纳米颗粒的限域生长形成。采用扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜和X射线衍射对NiTe2@PG复合材料的形貌与结构进行了表征,同时利用X射线光电子能谱和拉曼光谱探究了NiTe2与石墨烯之间的界面相互作用。作为锂离子电池负极材料评估时,NiTe2@PG电极在100 mA g−1的电流密度下展现出875.7 mAh g−1的初始可逆容量。

此外,该电极展现出卓越的长期循环性能,在2 A g−1和5 A g−1高电流密度下经10 000次循环后,仍分别保持243.5 mAh g−1和135 mAh g−1的比容量。其优异电化学性能归因于NiTe2@PG的独特结构及石墨烯/NiTe2界面形成的强健共价键。多孔石墨烯支架不仅作为NiTe₂纳米晶生长的导电基底,还促进了电子传输。其多孔网络同时缩短了锂离子扩散路径并增强了电解质渗透性。此外,石墨烯与NiTe₂形成的C–Te–Ni共价键在循环过程中对维持电极结构完整性起到了关键作用。

3小结

综上所述,通过在多孔石墨烯上原位生长NiTe₂纳米晶,成功制备了NiTe₂@PG复合材料。在此结构中,多孔石墨烯不仅作为NiTe₂成核与生长的支撑基底,还显著提升了电极的整体电导率。此外,其多孔结构促进了电解质渗透性。值得注意的是,石墨烯/NiTe₂界面形成了C–Te–Ni共价键,且随碲化时间延长其浓度呈渐进式增长。该界面共价键的存在对稳定复合结构、促进电荷转移起到了关键作用,使NiTe₂@PG能够作为锂离子电池的卓越阳极材料,具有高比容量、优异倍率性能及长期循环稳定性等显著特性。
