Abstract
- To balance the electrochemical performance gap between the Li<superscript>+</superscript> insertion/deintercalation anode and the anion adsorption/desorption cathode, in this paper, for the first time, we investigated MnNb<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>6</subscript> as a new rate capability type anode material for lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). Novel calendula-like MnNb<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>6</subscript> particles anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were prepared via a simple two-step hydrothermal route. The special three-dimensional structure and cross-linked conductive network constructed by graphene could shorten the lithium-ion diffusion path, efficiently facilitate electron transmission and adapt to volume strain without shedding during the long-term charge/discharge process. This resulted in excellent charge storage capacity and reasonably superior cycling stability. MnNb<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>6</subscript>@rGO//AC LICs assembled with MnNb<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>6</subscript>@rGO as the cathode and activated carbon (AC) as the anode exhibited excellent performance with maximum energy density of 118 W h kg<superscript>−1</superscript> and power density of 8000 W kg<superscript>−1</superscript> based on the total mass loading of the active material weight. The initial capacity retention was up to 88% after 10 000 charge/discharge cycles, which was higher than that of bimetallic oxide materials reported so far. Therefore, this study might provide a novel rate capability anode material for LICs with high performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
