Hollow-structured CoSe2/C Anode Materials: Preparation and Sodium Storage Properties for Sodium-ion Batteries

doi:10.15541/jim20220224

Abstract

Abstract:

Transition metal selenides (TMSs) with the merits of their versatile material species, ample abundance and high theoretical specific capacity have been regarded as attractive anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the large volume changes during the electrochemical reactions which result in limited cycle performance hinder their commercialization. Herein, the hollow structure composed of CoSe₂ and carbon skeleton (denoted as H-CoSe₂/C), derived from the metal organic framework material ZIF-67 using tannic acid as the etching agent, was used as the anode for SIBs. Owing to the unique hollow structure which can alleviate the volume change of the material, H-CoSe₂/C exhibited excellent sodium ions storage performances in terms of cycling stability. Compared with the solid counterpart, the reversible specific capacity of the H-CoSe₂/C electrode remains 383.4 mAh·g^-1 after 350 cycles at a current density of 50 mA·g^-1 with the capacity retention of 83.6%. Even at 500 mA·g^-1, the capacity retention can still reach 72.2% after 350 cycles. This work manifests that hollow structure can provide enough space to alleviate the problem of volume changes for TMSs during the sodiation/desodiation process, thus the cycle performances can be improved.
