Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have been considered as attractive alternatives for next-generation battery systems, which have promising application potential due to their earth abundance of potassium and sodium, high capacity and suitable working potential, however, the design and application of bi-functional high-performance anode still remain a great challenge up to date. Bismuth sulfide is suitable as anode owing to its unique laminar structure with relatively large interlayer distance to accommodate larger radius ions, high theoretical capacity and high volumetric capacity etc. In this study, dandelion-like Bi2S3/rGO hierarchical microspheres as anode material for PIBs displayed reversible capacity, and 206.91 mAh·g−1 could be remained after 1,200 cycles at a current density of 100 mA·g−1. When applied as anode materials for SIBs, 300 mAh·g−1 could be retained after 300 cycles at 2 A·g−1 and its initial Coulombic efficiency is as high as 97.43%. Even at high current density of 10 A·g−1, 120.3 mAh·g−1 could be preserved after 3,400 cycles. The Na3V2(PO4)3@rGO//Bi2S3/rGO sodium ion full cells were successfully assembled which displays stable performance after 60 cycles at 100 mA·g−1. The above results demonstrate that Bi2S3/rGO has application potential as high performance bi-functional anode for PIBs and SIBs.

The Al effect on the electrochemical properties of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) is not properly probed, although it is demonstrated to notably promote the capacitive behavior of LDHs. Herein, ternary NiCo2Alx layered double hydroxides with varying levels of Al stoichiometry are purposely developed, grown directly on mechanically flexible and electrically conducting carbon cloth (CC@NiCo2Alx‐LDH). Al plays a significant role in determining the structure, morphology, and electrochemical behavior of NiCo2Alx‐LDHs. At an increasing level of Al in NiCo2Alx‐LDHs, there is a steady evolution from 1D nanowire to 2D nanosheets. The CC@NiCo2Al‐LDH at an appropriate level of Al and with the nanowire–nanosheet mixed morphology exhibits both significantly enhanced electrochemical performance and excellent structural stability, with about a 2.3‐fold capacitance of NiCo2‐OH. When applied as the anode in a flexible asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC), the CC@NiCo2Al‐LDH gives rise to a remarkable energy density of 44 Wh kg?1 at the power density of 462 W kg?1, together with remarkable cyclic stability with 91.2% capacitance retention over 15 000 charge–discharge cycles. The present study demonstrates a new pathway to significantly improve the electrochemical performance and stability of transition metal LDHs, which are otherwise unstable in structure and poorly performing in both rate and cycling capability. 相似文献
