ABSTRACT
T-Nb2O5 characterized by the pronounced intercalation pseudocapacitance effect, is regarded as a promising and alternative anode for fast-charging Li-ion batteries. However, its electrochemical kinetics are still hindered by the absence of sufficient and homogenous conductive wiring inside active microparticles. Herein, an in situ pillaring strategy of electronic nano-wires is proposed to slice T-Nb2O5 laminated particles for the development of durable and fast-charging anodes for Li-ion batteries. A micro-level layered structure consisting of nano-carbon-inserted T-Nb2O5 composite flakes is designed and enabled by successive ion exchange, slice exfoliation, in situ polymerization, and carbonization processes. The pillared carbon interlayer (derived from polyaniline) can serve as in-built conductive wires to promote and homogenize electron transfer inside the micro-level particles. The porous structure (formed by the self-assembly of exfoliated flakes) contributes to the improved electrolyte immersion and enhanced lithium migration. Benefitting from the kinetically favorable effects, the modified T-Nb2O5 anode achieves the high-rate capability (108.4 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1) and ultralong cycling durability (138 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 8000 cycles, with an average capacity decaying rate as small as 0.043). This work provides an effective strategy of electron wire pillaring with the slicing effect for laminated electrode materials with high tap density.
