A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Formation of Complex Ions

A type of Lewis acid-base chemistry involves the formation of a complex ion (or a coordination complex) comprising a central atom, typically a transition metal cation, surrounded by ions or molecules called ligands. These ligands can be neutral molecules like H2O or NH3, or ions such as CN− or OH−. Often, the ligands act as Lewis bases, donating a pair of electrons to the central atom. These types of Lewis acid-base reactions are examples of a broad subdiscipline called coordination...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Two-dimensional materials are used as interface protective coatings (IPCs) in zinc-ion batteries to ensure uniform Zn2+ flux and suppress dendrite growth.
  • Solvent-induced swelling of IPCs during plating/stripping cycles causes material rupture, hindering uniform zinc deposition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an antiswelling interface protective coating (IPC) with stable subnanometer channels using MXene.
  • To investigate the effect of atomic-level metal ion intercalation on MXene structure and ion transport properties.

Main Methods:

  • An atomic-level intercalation strategy was employed to insert metal ions into MXene layers, creating metal ion-intercalated MXene membranes (M-MXMs).
  • Structural characterization and electrochemical performance testing of Al3+-MXM based symmetric and asymmetric zinc-ion batteries.

Main Results:

  • Al3+-MXM demonstrated excellent antiswelling properties with only 0.5% static expansivity, effectively locking the MXene structure.
  • Al3+-MXM@Zn symmetric batteries achieved a high Zn ion migration number (0.75) and stable cycling for 2800 hours.
  • Al3+-MXM@Zn-I2 batteries maintained 83.5% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles.

Conclusions:

  • Atomic-level metal ion intercalation is an effective strategy to create antiswelling IPCs for stable zinc-ion batteries.
  • Al3+-MXM shows significant potential as a protective layer for high-performance and long-lasting zinc-ion batteries.
