Appropriate properties of carbon nanotubes for the three-dimensional current collector in lithium-ion batteries
2023, Carbon TrendsCitation Excerpt :Submillimeter-long CNTs with only a few walls have been used in such self-supporting electrodes, where the CNTs played multiple roles, as the binder, conductive filler, and current collector, enhancing the mass fraction of the active materials and enabling stable charge-discharge cycles of a pouch cell (50 mm × 50 mm) with a support of lightweight combs instead of heavy foils of metal [8]. The CNT-based electrode architecture has been effective for conventional active materials, such as graphite for the negative electrode and lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) for the positive electrode [8, 12], and emerging high-capacity active materials such as silicon [13–15] and sulfur [15–18]. A CNT-based sulfur positive electrode showed high performance because of its enhanced electrical conduction pathways and high gravimetric and volumetric capacities attributed to the lightweight and flexible nature of the porous CNT sponge [16]; however, a CNT-based silicon negative electrode provided low Coulombic efficiency because of electrolyte decomposition and low volumetric capacity, which were attributed to the highly porous structure [15,16].
Fabrication of CoSe@NC nanocubes for high performance potassium ion batteries
2021, Journal of Colloid and Interface ScienceCitation Excerpt :Therefore, the major challenge for development of high performance PIBs is to explore the appropriate anode material with high capacity and cycling stability. Recently, researchers have designed a series of multifunctional composite materials with complex morphology to solve the volume change effect of K+ (de)intercalation [16-21]. Besides, the confinement of electrode active materials into carbonaceous structures has been considered as an effective strategy.
