Atomically dispersed Co-N4C2 catalytic sites for wide-temperature Na-Se batteries

Wen-Da Dong et al.

Summary: Sodium-selenium (Na-Se) batteries have been considered as potential large-scale energy storage systems due to their high volumetric energy density and natural abundance of sodium. However, issues such as slow redox kinetics, significant volume changes, and shuttle effect have negatively affected their electrochemical performance. In this study, a precompetitive coordination strategy was proposed to synthesize a Co-N4C2 catalyst for solid-state conversion in Na-Se batteries. The Co-N4C2 catalyst enhanced the redox kinetics and electroreduction of ethylene carbonate, leading to the formation of a robust cathode electrolyte interphase and preventing irreversible phase transformation. The study also identified the components of the cathode electrolyte interphase as sodium ethylene monocarbonate. The resulting Se@Co-N4C2 cathode exhibited high capacity, cycling stability, and rate capability at both room temperature and low temperature.

Lignin derived hierarchical porous carbon with extremely suppressed polyselenide shuttling for high-capacity and long-cycle-life lithium-selenium batteries

Pengfei Lu et al.

Summary: A low-cost strategy for scalable fabrication of lignin derived hierarchical porous carbon (LHPC) as a new high-loading Se host for high-capacity and long-term cycling Li-Se batteries is reported. The resulting LHPC exhibits a three-dimensional hierarchically porous structure, high specific surface area, and hetero-atom doping, which effectively confine Se particles and offer chemical binding sites. Li-Se batteries based on Se@LHPC demonstrate high capacity and low capacity fading rate, with theoretical simulation confirming the strong affinity of selenides on LHPC sites effectively mitigating Se losing. This strategy offers new opportunities for high-capacity and long-life Li-Se batteries.
