摘要: 高熵氧化物(HEOs)因组分可调、多阳离子协同氧化还原及丰富的缺陷化学特征,在锂离子电池负极领域展现出重要应用潜力,但其本征导电性不足和储锂动力学缓慢限制了实际应用。本研究采用高能球磨结合高温氧化-空气淬火方法构筑了具有紧密Fe-O-Ti异质界面的(FeZnCrMn)3O4/TiO2复合材料。与以尖晶石高熵氧化物相为主的Ti引入型(FeTiZnCrMn)3O4和机械混合(FeZnCrMn)3O4-TiO2对照样品相比,该异质结构表现出更优异的倍率性能和循环稳定性,在5 A·g-1下仍可实现512.9 mAh·g-1的放电比容量。(FeZnCrMn)3O4/TiO2表面O1s X射线光电子能谱中氧空位相关组分相对峰面积占比为45%,表明异质界面形成可以调控表面缺陷环境。第一性原理计算表明,Fe-O-Ti界面键诱导Fe/Ti相关轨道在费米能级附近重新分布,并引发界面电荷重新分配,同时提高导带底附近的低能电子态密度。上述电子结构重构和缺陷调控共同改善界面电荷转移动力学与Li+传输行为,从而提升高倍率储锂性能。本研究为高熵氧化物负极的异质界面工程设计提供了参考。

Abstract: High-entropy oxides (HEOs) show great potential as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries owing to their compositional tunability, synergistic multication redox activity, and rich defect chemistry. However, their practical application is still limited by insufficient intrinsic conductivity and sluggish lithium-storage kinetics. In this work, a (FeZnCrMn)3O4/TiO2 composite with tightly coupled Fe-O-Ti heterointerfaces was constructed via high-energy ball milling followed by high-temperature oxidation and air quenching. Compared with the Ti-incorporated (FeTiZnCrMn)3O4 control sample dominated by a spinel high-entropy oxide phase and the mechanically mixed (FeZnCrMn)3O4-TiO2 control sample, the heterostructured composite exhibits superior rate capability and cycling stability, delivering a discharge capacity of 512.9 mAh·g-1 at 5 A·g-1. The relative peak-area ratio of oxygen-vacancy-related components in the surface O1s X-ray photoelectron spectrum of (FeZnCrMn)3O4/TiO2 reaches 45%, indicating that the formation of heterointerfaces is accompanied by modulation of the surface defect environment. First-principles calculations demonstrate that Fe-O-Ti interfacial bonds induce redistribution of Fe/Ti-related orbitals near the Fermi level and interfacial charge rearrangement, while increasing the density of low-energy electronic states near the conduction-band minimum. The electronic structure reconstruction and defect modulation jointly improve interfacial charge-transfer kinetics and Li+ transport behavior, thereby enhancing high-rate lithium-storage performance. This work provides a reference for the heterointerface engineering of high-entropy oxide anodes.
