{"title":"Compositional Doping Induced the Suppression of Sluggish Na+ Diffusion for a Robust Pyrophosphate Cathode toward Exceptionally Long Cycle Life","authors":"Wenlong Zhu, Yang Wang, Shuai Tong, Tao Wang, Hengxin Wang, Min Jia, Xiaohong Yan, Xiaoyu Zhang","doi":"10.1021/acssuschemeng.5c00760","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.5c00760","url":null,"abstract":"Polyanionic compounds are now viewed as attractive cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), which could be utilized broadly in large-scale energy storage equipment, especially for grid application, due to their high safety and outstanding thermal stability upon long-term cycling. Fe-based polyanionic compounds, especially Na₂FeP₂O₇, are considered promising cathode materials due to the benefits of polyanionic compounds and the further advantage of earth-abundant Fe elements, which can lead to a low cost that facilitates the scaling of the sodium-ion industry. However, issues such as low electronic conductivity and poor cyclic durability, especially under high current density, remain substantial barriers that hinder their wide application. Herein, a carbon-coated Mg- and Ti-codoped Na₂Fe_0.95(MgTi)_0.05P₂O₇ cathode material is prepared, with significantly improved rate ability and cycling performance ascribed to the synergistic effect of the compositional doping strategy. Electrochemical tests show that Na₂Fe_0.95(MgTi)_0.05P₂O₇ exhibits exceptionally long cycle life at a high current density of 20C with 80.93% capacity retention after 30,000 cycles. In situ XRD and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra disclose that Mg and Ti codoping could effectively stabilize the structure with mere lattice distortion and the barely changed local structure environment during Na extraction/insertion, thus leading to the noteworthy ultralong cycle life. A theoretical study using the DFT calculation method demonstrates that the remarkable electrochemical property can be attributed to the large improvement of the conductivity and dramatic reduction of Na⁺ diffusion barriers for Na₂Fe_0.95(MgTi)_0.05P₂O₇. This study provides insightful perspectives on material design for polyanionic compounds and also inspires an innovative approach for the improvement of high-performance SIB cathode materials.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144146254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the development of catalysts capable of enhancing hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) selectivity while suppressing carbon–carbon (C–C) bond cleavage to minimize carbon loss remains a significant challenge. In this study, a FeReO_<i>x</i>/CeO₂ catalyst was developed, which was characterized by high selectivity to octadecanol (93.8%, 210 °C) and liquid alkanes from stearic acid under mild conditions. Notably, the FeReO_<i>x</i>/CeO₂ catalyst exhibited a higher hydrodeoxygenation selectivity in the production of liquid alkanes than decarboxylation (DCO) (C₁₈: 84.2% vs C₁₇: 15.8% at 240 °C). Detailed characterization of the FeReO_<i>x</i>/CeO₂ catalyst revealed that excellent catalytic activity originated from the synergistic interaction between Fe and ReO_<i>x</i>. The introduction of ReO_<i>x</i> not only enhanced the adsorption of stearic acid but also improved the dispersion of metallic Fe. The weak acidity of metallic Fe could inhibit the cleavage of the C–C bond to a certain extent to obtain alkane products with high hydrodeoxygenation selectivity. Furthermore, the catalyst exhibited strong stability without significant deactivation after five cycles.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144146253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the graphite cathode often leads to structural damage and instability at the electrode/electrolyte interface, severely diminishing its electrochemical performance. This work presents a cost-effective approach from the perspective of electrolyte optimization to overcome these challenges. By incorporating a moderate amount (5 wt %) of vinylene carbonate (VC) as an additive into a mixed solvent of dipropylene glycol methyl ether (DPM) and water, significant improvements in electrochemical performance are achieved, primarily due to the formation of a sulfur-rich cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) on the graphite surface and the electrolyte additive fostering the generation of nanosized sulfide particles in the graphite lattice, which provide active storage sites for anions. In the graphite-Zn DIB, a high discharge-specific capacity of 140 mAh g^–1 was achieved at 100 mA g^–1, and after 500 cycles, the capacity retention rate is 84.2%, which is much higher than that of the battery without VC. This work demonstrates the potential of a cost-effective electrolyte in optimizing the composition of the graphite cathode CEI and promoting the formation of inorganic nanoparticle hosts on the graphite cathode surface for enhancing the performance of DIBs.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144146311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the Cu/MnO catalyst was employed for the hydrogenation-acetalization of diethyl oxalate (DEO) to synthesize DEE, not only achieving a green synthesis pathway but also addressing the issue of ethylene glycol (EG) overproduction from DEO, thereby enabling efficient resource integration and utilization. Results showed that the DEO conversion reached 100%, and the DEE selectivity reached 99%. Characterizations showed that the DEO-to-DEE reaction contains three sequential reactions, including DEO hydrogenation into EG over the Cu site, the intramolecular dehydration of EG into acetaldehyde over the MnO site, and the acetalization of acetaldehyde and ethanol over the MnO site. Particularly, the strong electronic interactions between Cu and MnO facilitate EG into DEE.
