| Popis: | Many successful battery electrodes are based on 2D-layered materials. We have studied aluminium-ion batteries using molybdenum dichalcogenides: \ce{MoS2}, \ce{MoSe2} and MoSSe as active cathode materials. The batteries showed clear discharge voltage plateaus in the ranges 1.6 - 1.4 V for \ce{MoS2} and \ce{MoSe2}, and 0.6 - 0.5 V for MoSSe. \ce{MoS2} and \ce{MoSe2} have similar crystal structures, interestingly we found that \ce{MoSe2} performed better than \ce{MoS2}. MoSSe exhibited a higher specific capacity over \ce{MoS2} and \ce{MoSe2}, but the energy density was lower than \ce{MoSe2} at a current rate of 40 mA g$^{-1}$. \ce{MoSe2} cells recorded a discharge capacity of $\sim$ 110 mAh g$^{-1}$ with an average potential in the range of 2.0 - 1.8 V and 1.5 - 0.8 V during discharge. The cells were stable at 100 mA g$^{-1}$ for over 200 cycles with 90\% coulombic efficiency. Comment: Energy Technology, 2020 |
