  • tin selenide n doped carbon composite as a conversion and alloying type anode for sodium ion batteries
    Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2020
    Co-Authors: Nitheesha Shaji, P Santhoshkumar, Hyeong Seop Kang, Murugan Nanthagopal, Jae Woo Park, Sekar Praveen, Gyu Sang Sim, Chenrayan Senthil, Chang Woo Lee
    Abstract:

    Abstract Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted remarkable attention since they are considered a low-cost alternative for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for large scale energy storage system applications. Tin Selenides such as SnSe and SnSe2 are earth-abundant, environmentally friendly, chemically stable, and capable candidates as the negative electrode for SIBs, in which the capacity is provided by a conversion reaction together with the alloying mechanism. However, these materials suffer from low conductivity, drastic volume changes, and aggregation of particles during the electrochemical reaction, which lead to poor cycling performance, hindering their practical application. The combination of tin selenide with conductive carbon is an effective strategy to overcome the issues mentioned above. Herein, we report tin selenide/N-doped carbon composite as an anode material for SIBs fabricated by solvothermal synthesis followed by a dry solid state method and calcination. The as-prepared tin selenide/N-doped carbon composite electrode delivers an initial discharge capacity of 460 mAh g−1 and maintained a discharge capacity of 348 mAh g−1 at the end of the 100th cycle at a current density of 200 mA g−1, which is almost 3.5 times higher in discharge capacity than the pristine electrodes. Moreover, the composite electrode exhibits outstanding rate capability compared to pristine tin selenide with a discharge capacity of 234 mAh g−1 even at a high current density of 1600 mA g−1. N-doped carbon provides improved conductivity as well as buffering the volume change during sodiation/desodiation, resulting in an overall enhancement of electrochemical performance.

  • Formation and volatilisation of alkyl-iodides and -Selenides in macrotidal estuaries
    Biogeochemistry, 2002
    Co-Authors: Emmanuel Tessier, David Amouroux, G. Abril, E. Lemaire, Olivier F X Donard
    Abstract:

    The occurrence of alkylated volatile iodide and selenide species was evidenced and investigated in water, sediments and overlying atmosphere of three major European estuaries, such as the Gironde (F), the Rhine (NL) and the Scheldt (B/NL), along with the salinity gradient. For iodine, up to eight volatile species were observed as alkyl-iodides in estuarine waters. The major one (ca. 40%) was methyl-iodide (MeI) with average seasonal concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 pmol l-1. Other species observed were found to correspond to several halomethane derivatives and light alkyl-iodide species. For selenium, dimethyl selenide (Me2Se) was the main compound (ca. 90%) over three methyl-Selenides encountered in estuarine waters. Me2Se average seasonal concentrations were found to range between 0.2 and 100 pmol l-1 in the water column. The occurrence of methylated iodides and Selenides seems to be mainly related to the algae's biomass turnover as indicated by photosynthetic pigment tracers (i.e. chlorophyll a and phaeopigments) and seasonal variation of surface water concentrations. The production and release of gaseous iodide and selenide compounds may then result from natural biological pathways leading to the methylation of their inorganic form. Finally, significant volatilisation rates were evaluated leading to average seasonal flux rates for total volatile iodide and selenide compounds ranging from 4 to 100 and from 1 to 75 nmol m-2 d-1, respectively. Estuarine mass balance estimated from MeI and Me2Se distributions indicates that volatilisation to the atmosphere represents a primary sink for MeI and Me2Se from estuarine surface waters.

  • Maritime emission of selenium to the atmosphere in Eastern Mediterranean seas
    Geophysical Research Letters, 1996
    Co-Authors: David Amouroux, Olivier F X Donard
    Abstract:

    Results presented in this article report the first assessment of at least 3 volatile selenium species (MeSeH, DMSe, DMDSe) in marine water and air. Dimethyl selenide (DMSe) was the main compound encountered and the total concentration of the volatile Selenides was found to be correlated with the marine plankton biomass as measured through chlorophyll a content. Estimation of a net selenium flux from the ocean to the marine atmosphere has been established. This gaseous flux corroborates previous hypotheses on selenium cycling and indicates that maritime emissions are a major source of selenium to the atmosphere in the Mediterranean basin.
