Abstract

Abstract

Metal chloride-intercalated graphite with excellent conductivity and large interlayer spacing is highly desired for applications in sodium ion batteries. However, halogen vapor is usually indispensable in initiating the intercalation process, which makes equipment design and experiments challenging. In this work, SO₂Cl₂ was innovatively used as chlorine generator to intensify the intercalation process of BiCl₃ into graphite (BiCl₃-GICs), which avoided potential risks such as Cl₂ leakage in traditional methods. Additionally, the operational efficiency in experiment is effectively improved. After reacting SO₂Cl₂, BiCl₃, and graphite at 200 °C for 20 h, the as-synthesized BiCl₃-GICs delivered a large interlayer spacing (1.26 nm) and a high amount of BiCl₃ intercalation (42%), which endows SIBs with high specific capacity of 213 mAh g⁻¹ at 1 A g⁻¹ and fantastic rate performance (170 mAh g⁻¹ at 5 A g⁻¹). Moreover, the in-situ Raman spectra revealed that electronic interaction between graphite and intercalated BiCl₃ is weakened during the first discharge, which is favorable for the sodium storage. This work broadly enables the intercalation intensification process of other metal chloride-intercalated graphite, offering possibilities for developing advanced energy storage devices.
