Evaluating a Dual-Ion Battery with an Antimony-Carbon
The work explores novel dual-ion batteries that use an antimony-containing anode and a graphitic cathode. The results contribute to the development of new batteries that may involve anode
An antimony electrode has a puckered layered structure which enables it to exhibit high conductivity and reactivity, and reversibility at a moderate current density. Sb also shows a very high volumetric capacity of 1890 Ah L −1, which is equivalent to that of Si and 2.5 times higher than the commercially used graphite anodes .
Research which focused on DFT studies also showed the potential of monolayer Sb for LIB anodes in rechargeable batteries, which could provide relatively strong Li adsorption. In conclusion, antimony is a rare element on the planet, but it offers intriguing features when it comes to the needs of energy storage systems.
Among various anode materials, elements that alloy and dealloy with lithium are assumed to be prospective in bringing higher capacities and increasing the energy density of DIBs. In this work, antimony in the form of a composite with carbon (Sb−C) is evaluated as an anode material for DIB full cells for the first time.
Sb also shows a very high volumetric capacity of 1890 Ah L −1, which is equivalent to that of Si and 2.5 times higher than the commercially used graphite anodes . These exciting properties of antimony have garnered great attention from the scientific community in search of alternative anodes with enhanced performance.
