Abstract
Iodine-based aqueous zinc ion (Zn-I2) batteries have received wider attention due to their excellent electrochemical reversibility, low cost and environmental friendliness. In this work, we report a polymeric nanocomposite with great potential for zinc-ion (Zn-I2) water battery. Nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon (NMC) was prepared using phenol, formaldehyde and melamine by a simple and easy sol–gel technique. The rich-pore structure is conducive to improving the adsorption effect of iodine and accelerating the wetting of electrolyte, ensuring the stability of battery during cycling process. The NMC/I2 cathode material exhibits excellent electrochemical performance, which ensure rapid equilibration of iodine adsorption and dissolution in the electrolyte, showing 80.7 % capacity retention and 91mAh g−1 reversible specific capacity after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
