Abstract

Incorporating four cations into a single-phase oxide is beneficial for maintaining structural stability during Li+ insertion/desertion because of the produced entropy-dominated phase stabilization effects. However, medium-entropy oxides exhibit inherently poor electron and ion conductivity. As such, in this work, a single-phase medium-entropy oxide of NixCuyCozMn1–x–y–zO (named as NCCM@oxides(H2)) is prepared by modified-NiCuCoMn alloy through the epitaxial-growing-based self-combustion and hydrogen reduction. During hydrogen reduction, some Cu ions are reduced to elemental Cu (defined as Cu0), which is distributed among the metal oxides, while generating extensive oxygen vacancies around Cu. The synergetic effect between nanoporous metal-core oxide-shell structure and enriched oxygen/Cu0 vacancies greatly enhances the electronic/ionic conductivity. In addition, the lattice of single-phase quaternary metal oxides has the configuration entropy stability, which enables the rock-salt structure to remain stable during repeated conversion reactions. Benefiting from the above-mentioned merits, the anode for Li-ion batteries with entropy-stabled NCCM@oxides(H2) composite shows a high specific capacity of 699 mAh·g−1 at 0.1 A·g−1 and ultra-stable cycling stability, which maintains 618 and 489 mAh·g−1 at 0.1 and 1.0 A·g−1 after 200 cycles, respectively. This is the first use of this novel and simple strategy for modifying medium-entropy oxides, which paves the way for the development of high-entropy oxides as high-performance electrodes.

摘要

基于中熵氧化物的构型熵相稳定效应, 单相固溶氧化物中掺杂四个金属阳离子有利于保持结构稳定, 因此在锂离子嵌入/脱出过程中表现出良好的电化学性能。但是中熵氧化物电子和离子导电性相对较差的缺点依然亟待解决。在此项工作中, 以改性NiCuCoMn合金为基底, 通过可控自燃烧外延生长和氢气还原的处理, 制备出NixCuyCozMn1-x–y-zO的单相中熵氧化物 (命名为NCCM@oxides(H2)) 。在氢气还原的过程中, 部分铜离子被还原成单质铜, 并分布在中熵氧化物的晶格中, 同时在单质铜周围产生大量的氧空位。纳米多孔金属氧化物的核-壳结构与丰富的Cu0/氧空位之间的协同效应将大大提高电子/离子导电性, 并在充放电过程中保持结构稳定。基于上述优点, NCCM@oxides(H2)复合材料的锂离子电池负极展现出高比容量和长循环寿命, 其中在电流密度为 0.1 A·g−1时具有 699 mAh·g−1的初始稳定比容量, 并且在1.0 A·g−1大电流密度时经过 200 次循环后能够保持489 mAh·g−1的比容量, 这是首次使用该策略对中熵氧化物进行修饰, 这为开发高性能锂离子电池的高熵氧化物负极材料提供了新的思路。
