Abstract

Titanium dioxide is considered to be promising anode for sodium-ion batteries due to stable structure during the charge/discharge process. However, its practical application is hindered by the slow electron/ion transport. Herein, phosphorus-doped anatase TiO2 nanoparticles with oxygen vacancies are successfully synthesized and utilized as high-performance sodium-storage materials. The dual strategy of phosphorus-doping and oxygen vacancies can concurrently boost electronic conductivity and adjust ion diffusion kinetics. They significantly contribute to the improved rate performance (167 mAh·g−1 at 20.0C) and stable cycling (95.9% after 2000 cycles at 20.0C). The proposed dual strategy can be potentially used to improve other oxide anodes for rechargeable batteries.

摘要

二氧化钛是一种非常有潜力的钠离子电池负极材料。然而, TiO2属于半导体材料, 离子扩散速率小和电子电导率低, 限制了其发展空间。本文成功合成了具有氧空位和磷掺杂的锐钛矿型TiO2纳米颗粒, 并将其用作钠离子电池负极材料。引入磷掺杂和氧空位的双重策略可以同时提高电子电导率和调节离子扩散动力学, 这对于提高高倍率性能 (在20.0 C下为容量为167 mAh·g-1) 和循环稳定性 (在20.0 C下循环2000次后容量保持率为95.9%) 起着重要作用。这项工作对改善二次电池氧化物负极材料的稳定性和储钠性能提供了可行的策略。
