Graphical Abstract

The ultrathin P-doped Bi2MoO6 nanosheets with a tunable amorphous/nanocrystalline dual-phase structure own several compelling advantages including fast ion exchange ability and superb volume change buffer capability, which can distinctly accelerate the reaction process and improve the stability of the electrode.

Abstract

The construction of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) has gradually been an appealing and attractive technology in energy storage research field. In the present work, a facile strategy of synthesizing ultrathin amorphous/nanocrystal dual-phase P-doped Bi2MoO6 (denoted as P-BiMO) nanosheets via a one-step wet-chemical synthesis approach is explored. Quite distinct from conventional two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets, our newly developed ultrathin P-BiMO nanosheets exhibit a unique tunable amorphous/nanocrystalline dual-phase structure with several compelling advantages including fast ion exchange ability and superb volume change buffer capability. The experimental results reveal that our prepared P-BiMO-6 electrode delivers an excellent reversible capacity of 509.6 mA·g−1 after continuous 1,500 cycles at the current densities of 1,500 mA·g−1 and improved rate performance for LIBs. In the meanwhile, the P-BiMO-6 electrode also shows a reversible capacity of 300.6 mA·g−1 after 100 cycles at 50 mA·g−1 when being used as the SIBs electrodes. This present work uncovers an effective dual-phase nanosheet structure to improve the performance of batteries, providing an attractive paradigm to develop superior electrode materials.
