Vanadium oxide nanosheets for flexible dendrite-free hybrid Al-Li-ion batteries with excellent cycling performance
Aluminum (Al)-ion batteries can be an attractive alternative to lithium-ion batteries because of low costs, high volumetric capacities and dendrite-free formation when Al is used as anode. However, there are limited cathode materials for Al-ion batteries that can deliver satisfactory electrochemi...

description |
Aluminum (Al)-ion batteries can be an attractive alternative to lithium-ion batteries
because of low costs, high volumetric capacities and dendrite-free formation when Al is used as
anode. However, there are limited cathode materials for Al-ion batteries that can deliver
satisfactory electrochemical performance, especially cycling stability. The major reason for that is
the sluggish kinetics of ion intercalation/deintercalation, resulting from large coulombic attraction
between Al3+ and cathodes. Herein, a concept of hybrid Al-Li-ion batteries is proposed to
circumvent the poor Al3+ ions insertion/extraction kinetics in Al-ion batteries, and maintain the
dendrite-free characteristics of Al-ion batteries. The high volumetric capacity (32.5 mAh/cm3 at
100 mA/cm3, based on the total volume of cathode), enhanced rate capability (21.5 mAh/cm3 at
1000 mA/cm3) and excellent cycling performance (70.1% retention after 3000 cycles) have been
achieved in the hybrid Al-Li-ion battery composed of vanadium oxide nanosheets on carbon fibers
as cathode and Al as anode in a mixed [EMIM][Cl]/AlCl3/LiCl electrolyte. Combining with the
good flexibility of cathode and anode, the hybrid Al-Li-ion battery maintains structural and
capacity stability under different bending angles. This study unveils a safe, cost-effective and
flexible hybrid Al-Li-ion battery that presents highly competitive advantages among various
energy storage devices. |
