Exploring advanced electrochemical energy storage systems and clarifying their charge storage mechanisms are key scientific frontiers presenting a great challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a novel concept of Li-ion supercabatteries (, Li-ion capacitors/batteries, LICBs), which were realized using a novel trimetallic Ni-Co-Mn perovskite fluoride (KNiCoMnF, denoted as KNCMF-111 (8)) anode and a high-performance activated carbon/LiFePO (AC/LFP) cathode, which makes the boundary between LICs and LIBs less distinctive. Thanks to the pseudocapacitive conversion mechanism of the KNCMF-111 (8) anode with superior kinetics and the enhanced capacity of the capacitor/battery hybrid AC/LFP cathode, the designed KNCMF-111 (8)//AC/LFP LICBs, integrating the synergistic superiority of pseudocapacitive, capacitive and faradaic characteristics, exhibit remarkable energy/power densities and a long cycle life, indicating a high-efficiency energy storage application.

Herein, dual-vacancy (including K and F vacancies) perovskite fluoride K MnF @reduced graphene oxide (rGO; recorded as Mn-G) as anode for NICs and Na-DIBs has been developed. The special conversion/intercalation dual Na-ion energy storage mechanism and pseudocapacitive dynamics are analyzed in detail.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe behavior of Li/Na-ion capacitors (LICs/NICs) is largely limited by the low number of electroactive sites in conventional insertion-type anodes. In this work, we demonstrated a novel doping-vacancy double-defective and conversion-type Mn-O-F ultrafine nanowire (denoted as MnF-E) anode to boost the number of electroactive sites for enhanced LICs/NICs. Owing to the unique hetero oxygen-doping and intrinsic fluorine-vacancy double defects, the Mn-O-F nanowires exhibited superior electroactive sites and thus dramatically enhanced Li/Na-ion storage capability than pristine MnF micro/nano-crystals.

The optimal K-Co-Mn-F candidate (Co/Mn=6:1) showed a size range of 0.1-1 μm and uniform elemental distribution; exhibiting small changes in XRD peaks and XPS binding energy in comparison to the bare K-Co-F and K-Mn-F, due to the structural/electronic effects.
