Title: Research progress of metal complexes and metal oxides as new-generation anode materials of lithium-ion batteries

Abstract: Our team studied the electrochemical properties of new anode materials, especially the preparation of manganese-cobalt-nickel-based polymetal coordination polymers (CPs), explored the structures and lithium storage properties of lithium ionic batteries (Libs), the combination of CPs, metal oxides, and the influence of rare earth elements on lithium storage properties of the oxide composites. The following three conclusions are summarized: 1. Under the same conditions, different crystal structures have a great impact on electrochemical performance, relatively speaking, the higher capacity of complexes are with more stable structure; 2. Comparing with polymetallic coordination polymers of the same structure, the electrochemical properties of manganese-cobalt and nickel are different; 3. Cerium plays a stable role on the electrochemical properties of metal complexes, mainly inhibiting the decomposition of the complex structure and providing lithium ion transport channels to improve lithium storage performance.

Title: Self-assembled hematite-based core-shell heteronanostructured arrays for photoelectrochemical water splitting

Abstract: Significantly boosting the water splitting performance of the hematite-based photoanodes is highly challenging but desirable for realizing their practical applications. Self-assembly of water oxidation catalysts on hematite to form core-shell structures could be a promising strategy. Our group has previously developed various effective WOR catalysts and demonstrated their applications for electrochemical water splitting. We have also fabricated various TiO2 and ZnO-based composite photoanodes for enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting utilizing the effects of sensitizers and n-p heterojunctions. Based on these achievements, we are recently exploring the self-assembly of hematite-based core-shell heteronanostructured array for PEC water splitting. In this presentation, I will introduce our work on the design, self-assembly, PEC water splitting applications, and enhancement mechanism of the hematite-based core-shell nanostructured arrays. This study could not only provide novel strategies for developing highly efficient hematite-based photoanodes for water splitting, but shed light on the mechanism for self-assembly and for synergistic effects of the core-shell structures, which can be further extended for broad applications in the fields such as sensing, energy, and environment.
