Abstract

Abstract:

Rechargeable aqueous ammonium-ion batteries using ammonium ions as carriers have many inherent advantages; however, research and exploration of full batteries are still in their infancy. Herein, we developed a 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI)//δ-MnO₂ ammonium-ion battery system. The battery uses 0.5 mol/L NH₄Ac as the electrolyte, layered δ-MnO₂ as the cathode material, and PTCDI as the organic anode material, and it can work stably in the voltage range of 0—1.5 V. The layered δ-MnO₂ cathode material was prepared through simple thermal decomposition of KMnO₄ and was characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy. Through a proper combination of the PTCDI nanoparticle anode, the capacity retention rate of the full battery remained 92% of the initial capacity after 500 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A/g, and the coulombic efficiency was close to 100%, indicating excellent cycle stability. In addition, the energy storage mechanism of the δ-MnO₂ nanosheet cathode and the ammonium-ion storage dynamics kinetics of the PTCDI organic anode were systematically studied. Ex situ XPS revealed that NH₄⁺ can be reversibly intercalated/deintercalated in the cathode material. The full battery has a relatively high voltage window; thus, it can easily supply power to common electrical appliances, such as small fans and LEDs, and has a good development prospects. In summary, developing novel materials is of great significance to the construction of a new generation of safe and environmentally friendly aqueous ammonium-ion batteries.

Key words: aqueous ammonium-ion battery, δ-MnO₂, PTCDI, cycle stability, ammonium-ion storage mechanism
