The Electrochemical Characterization of Nanostructured Bi<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub> Thin Films in an Aqueous Na Electrolyte

Due to their layered structure and high theoretical capacity, bismuth chalcogenides have been proposed as anodes in organic electrolyte Li- and Na-ion batteries. On the other hand, their electrochemical properties in aqueous systems have not been reported. Here, the electrochemical performance of Bi...

description Due to their layered structure and high theoretical capacity, bismuth chalcogenides have been proposed as anodes in organic electrolyte Li- and Na-ion batteries. On the other hand, their electrochemical properties in aqueous systems have not been reported. Here, the electrochemical performance of Bi<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub> thin films in 1 M NaNO<sub>3</sub> aqueous electrolyte is presented. This aqueous Bi<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub> system was found to have up to two orders of magnitude increased diffusion coefficients, compared to other anode materials in Na electrolyte-based systems, as well as limited anode electrode degradation over 5 CVs and significant changes in the anode after 30 CVs.
