Published: August 2011

Electrospinning and galvanic displacement reaction are combined to fabricate ultra-long hollow chalcogen and chalcogenide nanofibers in a cost-effective and high throughput manner. This procedure exploits electrospinning to fabricate ultra-long sacrificial nanofibers with controlled dimensions and morphology, thereby imparting control over the composition and shape of the nanostructures evolved during galvanic displacement reaction. It is believed to be a general route to form various ultra-long hollow semiconducting nanofibers.

Manganese-based oxides are be regarded as one of the most promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs). A major restriction of manganese-based oxides in practical applications is their unsatisfied structural stability due to the irreversible manganese dissolution. Additionally, the poor electrical conductivity also limits the rate capability.

Silicon (Si) has attracted considerable attention as a promising alternative to graphite in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high theoretical capacity and voltage. However, the durability and cycling stability of Si-based composites have emerged as major obstacles to their widespread adoption as LIBs anode materials. To tackle these challenges, a hollow core-shell dodecahedra structure of a Si-based composite (HD-Si@C) is developed through a novel double-layer in situ growth approach.

Precise control of pore volume and size of carbon nanoscale materials is crucial for achieving high capacity and rate performances of charge/discharge. In this paper, starting from the unique mechanism of the role of In, Zn combination, and carboxyl functional groups in the formation of the lumen and pore size, the composition of InZn-MIL-68 is regulated to precisely tune the diameter and wall pore size of the hollow carbon tubes. The hollow carbon nanotubes (CNT) with high-capacity storage and fast exchange of Na ions and charges are prepared.

A topochemical reaction induced the formation of BiS micro-straws from a Bi-MOF for an ultra-long Zn storage life.

Aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are considered as promising energy storage devices in the post-lithium-ion era, due to their high energy density, low cost, high safety, and environmental benignity, however their commercialization is hindered by the sluggish diffusion kinetics of cathode materials due to the large hydrate Zn radius. In this work, we propose a unique structure inheritance strategy for preparing BiS micro-straws in which a metal-organic framework (MOF) denoted as Bi-PYDC (PYDC = 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate) with a string of [BiO] chains is judiciously selected as the structure-directing template to induce the formation of micro-straws based on a topochemical reaction. The distinctive hollow structure significantly enhances the ionic storage kinetics.
