The nanosize effect in nanostructured
electrode materials is significant
for boosting rate performance; however, it brings about low capacity,
low Coulombic efficiency, and poor stability. In this work, 2D atomically
thin (001)-oriented single-crystalline LCO (SC-LCO) nanosheets with
longer Li+ intercalation distance and a surface dominated
with (001) planes are constructed to regulate the nanosize effect.
The SC-LCO not only owns large plateau region capacity even at high
rate (194 mAh g–1 at 1C and 111 mAh g–1 at 50C) but also realizes remarkable improvement in the initial
Coulombic efficiency (92% at 1C) and cycling stability (83% capacity
retention for 500 cycles). The battery-supercapacitor hybrid devices
(BSHDs) assembled with kinetics and capacity doubly matched SC-LCO
and mesoporous TiNb2O7 nanosheets offer high
energy density (244 Wh kg–1 @ 693 W kg–1) and power density (15 kW kg–1 @ 151 Wh kg–1). Further, pouch-type full cells are assembled, demonstrating
the enormous applicability of this strategy.
