摘要
Ultrathin two-dimensional(2 D)porous nanosheets are one of the most promising nanomaterials in various applications,whereas their synthesis is still challenging.Herein,ultrathin 2 D amorphous TiO_(2)(a-TiO_(2))porous nanosheet aerogel is synthesized via a surfactant-free assembly process followed by low-temperature calcination.The co-existing O-O and-OH groups on the surface of TiO_(2)precursor break the 3 D spherical symmetry,and the hydrogen bonding among the TiO_(2)precursors is proposed as the main driving force guiding the 2 D assembly.The surfactant-free assembly endows the ultrathin a-TiO_(2)porous nanosheet with improved ionic and electronic conductivity.The porous structure provides high surface area and easy electrolyte penetration,accelerating the Li ion diffusion rate of the a-TiO_(2)porous nanosheet.Attributing to the above advantages,the obtained a-TiO_(2)porous nanosheets are one of the best anode materials for lithium-ion batteries,which is proved by the enhanced electrochemical performance.
超薄多孔纳米片是应用领域极有前途的纳米材料之一,但它的合成仍具有很大的挑战性.本文报道了一种无表面活性剂组装工艺,低温煅烧后合成超薄二维非晶a-TiO_(2)多孔纳米片的方法.TiO_(2)前驱体(PTA)表面共存的O-O和-OH基团打破了三维球对称,而-OH基团之间的强氢键引发了各向异性的二维纳米片组装,最终获得超薄的PTA多孔纳米片.所得超薄PTA多孔纳米片经250℃煅烧可成功转化为aTiO_(2)多孔纳米片.通过原位透射电镜观察PTA纳米粒子的组装过程,进一步验证了PTA之间的氢键作用是引导二维结构组装的主要驱动力.另外,无表面活性剂的组装过程,以及非晶态导致的大量阳离子缺陷,使a-TiO_(2)多孔纳米片具有较高的离子导电性和电子导电性,同时,多孔结构为a-TiO_(2)多孔纳米片提供了高表面积、高电解液浸润性,加速了锂离子扩散速率.由于上述优点,制备的a-TiO_(2)多孔纳米片在锂离子电池负极材料应用中表现出较好的性能,未来有望用于高性能锂离子电池.
