Abstract
Bimetallic transition metal nitrides have gained significant attention as battery-grade electrode materials for the application of energy storage. This study investigates the electrochemical performance of co-sputtered tungsten (W) with titanium nitride (TiN) and chromium nitride (CrN), where the electrode fabrication is carried out using an RF/DC magnetron sputtering unit. The structural properties, surface morphology, and elemental content of the sample are analyzed with X-ray diffraction, SEM, and EDX, respectively. The battery-grade nature of the electrode materials is revealed by the electrochemical performance in half-cell configuration. In half-cell assembly specific capacity (Qs) of 1408 C/ g is achieved with W-TiN and 583.8 C/ g with W-CrN electrode, respectively. The device (W-TiN//AC) delivers a specific capacity of 347.2 C/g, with energy and power densities of 88 Wh/kg and 1700 W/kg. Linear and quadratic models are employed to deconvolute the capacitive and diffusive impact on the total capacity of the device.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
