設計缺陷豐富的高熵 (CrMnFeCoNi)₃O₄/rGO 奈米複合材料以提升釩氧化還原液流電池之性能
📄 英文摘要
High-entropy spinel oxide (CrMnFeCoNi)₃O₄ has emerged as a promising electrode material for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). In this work, a spinel-structured (CrMnFeCoNi)₃O₄/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposite was synthesized via a hydrothermal process followed by thermal reduction. The (CrMnFeCoNi)₃O₄ nanoparticles on rGO produce a strong synergistic effect, providing abundant redox-active sites and fast ion transport to enhance charge-transfer kinetics, reversibility, and stability. EXAFS analysis revealed a disordered local structure with reduced coordination and slight bond shifts, indicating that lattice distortion and oxygen vacancies reinforce defect stability. The (CrMnFeCoNi)₃O₄/rGO-modified electrode achieved a high energy efficiency of 87.14% at 80 mA cm⁻² and maintained excellent stability over 300 cycles at 200 mA cm⁻².
📄 中文摘要
高熵尖晶石氧化物 (CrMnFeCoNi)₃O₄ 已成為釩氧化還原液流電池(VRFBs)中極具潛力的 electrode 材料。本研究透過水熱法隨後進行熱還原程序,成功合成了尖晶石結構的 (CrMnFeCoNi)₃O₄/還原氧化石墨烯 (rGO) 奈米複合材料。分布於 rGO 上的 (CrMnFeCoNi)₃O₄ 奈米粒子產生了強大的協同效應,提供了豐富的氧化還原活性位點與快速的離子傳輸。EXAFS 分析顯示局部結構紊亂,具有較低的配位數與輕微的化學鍵位移,表明晶格畸變與氧空位強化了缺陷的穩定性。此複合材料在 80 mA cm⁻² 時達到了 87.14% 的高能量效率,並在 200 mA cm⁻² 下保持了超過 300 次循環的優異穩定性。
