Time-Evolved Hetero-Alkali Interphases Enable Long-Life Sulfide-Based Anode-Free Solid-State Batteries

Sulfide-based anode-free solid-state batteries (AFSSBs) offer compelling advantages in terms of energy density and safety, yet their practical implementation is severely hindered by undesirable interfacial reactions between sulfide solid electrolytes (SEs) and freshly plated lithium (Li), as well as non-uniform Li plating/stripping behavior. Herein, an effective interfacial stabilization strategy by incorporating sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (NaFSI) additive into the Li5.4PS4.4Cl1.6 (LPSC) is investigated. Unlike conventional Li-based additives that form static passivation layers, NaFSI introduces a transient hetero-alkali chemistry that kinetically governs interphase evolution during fresh Li plating. NaFSI induces a timesequenced interphase evolution: an initial NaF/LiF-rich layer that suppresses early sulfide reduction, followed by a LiF/Li3N-rich layer that optimizes Li⁺ transport during repeated anode-free cycling. This evolved robust and fast ion conducting layer mitigates interfacial impedance growth, enhances Li + transport kinetics, and suppresses localized Li growth and filamentary shorting. As a result, the anode-free full cell with NaFSI modified LPSC as the interlayer exhibits an excellent cycling stability over 500 cycles at 0.2 C with a capacity retention of 77.6%, whereas the cell with bare LPSC suffers from rapid capacity decay after 100 cycles, retaining only 32.1% of its initial capacity. This work establishes dynamic heteroalkali additive chemistry as a general strategy to kinetically program solid-solid interphases, guiding the interface design in anode-free solid-state batteries.

Polysulfide regulation by defect-modulated Ta 3 N 5- x electrocatalyst toward superior room-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries

Resolving low sulfur reaction activity and severe polysulfide dissolution remains challenging in metal-sulfur batteries. Motivated by a theoretical prediction, herein, we strategically propose nitrogen-vacancy tantalum nitride (Ta 3 N 5-x ) impregnated inside the interconnected nanopores of nitrogen-decorated carbon matrix as a new electrocatalyst for regulating sulfur redox reactions in room-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries. Through a pore-constriction mechanism, the nitrogen vacancies are controllably constructed during the nucleation of Ta 3 N 5-x . Further, the defect manipulation on the local environment enables well-regulated Ta 5d-orbital energy level, not only modulating band structure toward enhanced intrinsic conductivity of Ta-based materials, but also promoting polysulfide stabilization and achieving bifunctional catalytic capability toward completely reversible polysulfide conversion. Moreover, the interconnected continuous Ta 3 N 5-x -in-pore structure facilitates electron and sodium-ion transport and accommodates volume expansion of sulfur species while suppressing their shuttle behavior. Due to these attributes, the as-developed Ta 3 N 5-x -based electrode achieves superior rate capability of 730 mAh g -1 at 3.35 A g -1 , long-term cycling stability over 2000 cycles, and high areal capacity over 6 mAh cm -2 under high sulfur loading of 6.2mgcm -2 . This work not only presents a new sulfur electrocatalyst candidate for metal-sulfur batteries, but also sheds light on the controllable material design of defect structure in hopes of inspiring new ideas and directions for future research.

Investigating Multiscale Spatial Distribution of Sulfur in a CNT Scaffold and Its Impact on Li–S Cell Performance

Ever increasing demand on high energy density batteries positions sulfur as a very promising cathode material for next-generation energy storage due to its high theoretical capacity of 1675 mAh/g. Electronically sulfur is highly insulating, and therefore integration of a conducting framework such as a carbon nanotube (CNT) scaffold with sulfur is a key aspect of the cathode design. Despite numerous efforts dedicated to S-CNT cathode development, increasing sulfur loading to above 1 mg/cm 2 while maintaining the cycling stability of the Li–S cell remains challenging. This could be partly due to the lack of understanding of the spatial distribution of sulfur in the CNT matrix and its location with respect to the morphology of the CNT scaffold. We demonstrate herein that the sulfur has a hierarchical distribution in the CNT cathode at high sulfur loading (>5 mg/cm 2 ) spanning multiple length scales (from nanometer to submillimeter). Sulfur infiltration into the CNT rather than the sulfur loading plays a key role in determining the redox reaction kinetics, Li + ion diffusion, and the galvanostatic cycling capacity and stability of Li–S cells. This study provides new insights for the design and fabrication of high loading, binder-free sulfur–carbon-based cathode architectures for next-generation high energy Li–S batteries.

Stable all-solid-state sodium-sulfur batteries for low-temperature operation enabled by sodium alloy anode and confined sulfur cathode

All-solid-state sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries are promising for stationary energy storage devices because of their low operating temperatures (less than 100 °C), improved safety, and low-cost fabrication. Using Na alloy instead of Na metal as an anode in Na-S batteries can prevent dendrite growth and improve interfacial stability between the anode and solid electrolytes to achieve long-cycling stability. A high-sulfur content cathode possessing high sulfur utilization is also important to enable an energy-dense Na-S battery. In this work, we studied Na-Sb and Na- Sn alloy anodes and demonstrated the superiority of Na 3 Sb alloy undergoing a stable Na alloying/dealloying process at 0.04 mA cm -2 for over 500 hours. Combining the optimized Na3Sb alloy anode with sulfur-carbon composites prepared by the vapor deposition approach, the full cell shows a high sulfur specific capacity and improved rate performance. Moreover, the all-solid-state Na alloy-S battery can deliver a high initial discharge specific capacity of 1377 mAh g -1 and maintain good capacity retention of 70 % after 180 cycles at 60 °C. Further, post-cycle characterizations show that both the anode and cathode perform a reversible discharge/charge process after the 1st cycle, and the cathode undergoes significantly rearranged distributions of carbon and solid-state electrolytes after 180 cycles due to severe volume change induced by repeated sodiation/desodiation process.

Failure Process During Fast Charging of Lithium Metal Batteries with Weakly Solvating Fluoroether Electrolytes

While improving the lithium metal (Li) Coulombic efficiency has been a focus for electrolyte design, the performance under high current densities is less studied yet highly relevant for practical applications. Here, we evaluate the charge-rate-dependent cycling stability using three types of weakly solvating fluoroether electrolytes. Although good cycle life was achieved in all three electrolytes under low current densities, they all exhibited a soft shorting behavior above various threshold current densities (between 2 and 5.2 mA cm –2 ). In this study, we attributed the current-dependent electrode morphology to both Li growth and residual solid electrolyte interface (rSEI) growth processes. In early cycles, Li morphology guided the formation of rSEI structures. In later cycles, the rSEI structure partially impacted Li growth. Under low current densities, the rSEI was inhomogeneous with large voids for subsequent bulky lithium growth. Under high current densities, the rSEI became more dense, which aggravated the high-surface/volume-ratio Li growth through and on the top of the rSEI. Among the three weakly solvating fluoroether electrolytes, the ones with lower ionic conductivity were observed to short within fewer cycles and at lower charge current densities. Our work suggests that fast ion transport in electrolytes may be a desirable feature for the stable operation at >1C charging in high-energy-density lithium metal batteries.

Energizing Robust Sulfur/Lithium Electrochemistry via Nanoscale-Asymmetric-Size Synergism

Sluggish redox kinetics and dendrite growth perplex the fulfillment of efficient electrochemistry in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. The complicated sulfur phase transformation and sulfur/lithium diversity kinetics necessitate an all-inclusive approach in catalyst design. Herein, a compatible mediator with nanoscale-asymmetric-size configuration by integrating Co single atoms and defective CoTe 2–x (Co SA -CoTe 2–x @NHCF) is elaborately developed for regulating sulfur/lithium electrochemistry synchronously. Substantial electrochemistry and theoretical analyses reveal that CoTe 2–x exhibits higher catalytic activity in long-chain polysulfide transformation and Li 2 S decomposition, while monodispersed Co sites are more effective in boosting sulfur reduction kinetics to regulate Li 2 S deposition. Such cascade catalysis endows Co SA -CoTe 2–x @NHCF with the all-around service of “trapping-conversion-recuperation” for sulfur species during the whole redox reaction. Furthermore, it is demonstrated by in situ transmission electron microscopy that initially formed electronic-conductive Co and ionic-conductive Li 2 Te provide sufficient lithiophilic sites to regulate homogeneous Li plating and stripping with markedly suppressed dendrite growth. Consequently, by coupling the Co SA -CoTe 2–x @NHCF interlayer and Li@Co SA -CoTe 2–x @NHCF anode, the constructed Li–S full batteries deliver superior cycling stability and rate performance, and the flexible pouch cell exhibits stable cycling performance at 0.3 C. In conclusion, the gained insights into the synergistic effect of asymmetric-size structures pave the way for the integrated catalyst design in advanced Li–S systems.

Local Cation-Ordered Superlattice Stabilizing Ni-Rich Single-Crystalline Cathodes

Ni-rich single-crystalline cathodes are pivotal for advancing lithium-ion battery technology due to their high energy density and mechanical stability. However, Ni-rich single-crystalline particles face intrinsic structural heterogeneity due to excessively high sintering temperature required to shape micron-sized morphologies─typically over 150 °C above the polycrystalline optimum, leading to rapid electrochemical decay and unsatisfied rate performance that hinder their practical application. Here, in this work, we propose a lithium-deficient presintering strategy to synthesize cation-ordered single-crystalline LiNi 0.83 Co 0.12 Mn 0.05 O 2 (S-NCM83), effectively minimizing lattice chemical heterogeneity and defect formation. The resulting cation-ordered percolation network enhances the structural stability of the bulk, reduces the energy barrier for Li + migration, and stabilizes Li + diffusion pathways. Consequently, S-NCM83 demonstrates significantly improved cycling stability across various operating temperatures and achieves exceptional rate performance, delivering 206 mAh g –1 at 0.1 C and 170 mAh g –1 at 5 C, without requiring surface coatings or doping. This work introduces a universal strategy to address the long-standing structural instability issues in single-crystalline cathodes, paving the way for simplified and scalable approaches to long-life and high-energy lithium-ion batteries.

Upcycling Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Waste into Graphene for High Mass Loading Supercapacitors

Polyethylene is notoriously difficult to upcycle because it decomposes into light gases at approximately 350-400 °C which prevents processing it at higher temperatures to convert it into electrode materials. We address this challenge by using an air-based, thermos-oxidative process, which heats linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) just below the decomposition point to initiate oxidation and cross-linking of LLDPE alkyl chains. These molecular transformations allow LLDPE to be graphenized at 950 °C without decomposing. The LLDPE-derived graphene (LLDPE-G) has a BET specific surface area up to 1,800 m2/g and Raman ID/IG ratio of 0.85. When used as electrode material for a symmetric supercapacitor with the 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte, LLDPE-G possesses an specific capacitance up to 175 F/g at mass loading of 20 mg/cm2, yielding an areal capacitance of 3.5 F/cm2. The cycling stability with capacitance demonstrates a retention of 95.8% after 100,000 cycles at high current density of 4.0 A/g.

Synergetic Dual‐Additive Electrolyte Enables Highly Stable Performance in Sodium Metal Batteries

Sodium (Na)-metal batteries (SMBs) are considered one of the most promising candidates for the large-scale energy storage market owing to their high theoretical capacity (1,166 mAh g -1 ) and the abundance of Na raw material. However, the limited stability of electrolytes still hindered the application of SMBs. Herein, sulfolane (Sul) and vinylene carbonate (VC) are identified as effective dual additives that can largely stabilize propylene carbonate (PC)-based electrolytes, prevent dendrite growth, and extend the cycle life of SMBs. The cycling stability of the Na/NaNi 0.68 Mn 0.22 Co 0.1 O 2 (NaNMC) cell with this dual-additive electrolyte is remarkably enhanced, with a capacity retention of 94% and a Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 99.9% over 600 cycles at a 5 C (750 mA g -1 ) rate. The superior cycling performance of the cells can be attributed to the homogenous, dense, and thin hybrid solid electrolyte interphase consisting of F- and S-containing species on the surface of both the Na metal anode and the NaNMC cathode by adding dual additives. Such unique interphases can effectively facilitate Na-ion transport kinetics and avoid electrolyte depletion during repeated cycling at a very high rate of 5 C. This electrolyte design is believed to result in further improvements in the performance of SMBs.

High-Mass Loading of Flower-like Ni-MoS 2 microspheres Toward Efficient Intercalation pseudocapacitive Electrode

This work reports the exploration of intercalation pseudocapacitance in a thicker electrode of flowerlike Ni-doped MoS 2 microspheres that features a mass loading of ~10 mg/cm 2 without sacrificing the gravimetric capacitance (~425 F/g at 5 mV/s). Integration of Ni atoms into MoS 2 microspheres not only stabilized the structural integrity but also ameliorated the rapid intercalation and deintercalation of electrolyte ions even at a commercial-level mass loading. The energy instability by Ni doping significantly changed the local bonding behavior and the overall electronic structure of MoS 2 , facilitating the breaking of the MoS 2 layer and generation of more active edge sites, which are responsible for faster reaction kinetics. The experiments attribute the overall capacitance enhancement in (Mo-Ni)S 2 to the increased rate of electrolyte ion insertion and extraction, which is confirmed by b-values close to 0.5, at different potentials, indicating that the current response predominantly depends on the diffusive mechanism for both MoS 2 and Ni-MoS 2 thicker electrodes. The symmetric device constructed with Ni-MoS 2 microspheres exhibited a capacitance value of 101 F/g in 1 mV/s, for which the energy density is 9 Wh/kg, as well as attained an outstanding cycling stability of 10000 cycles with 60% retention at 2 A/g. In addition to providing insights into the development of 2D TMDs, this work explores the design of robust and highly efficient intercalation electrode material for electrochemical energy storage devices.

Analysis of the Stable Interphase Responsible for the Excellent Electrochemical Performance of Graphite Electrodes in Sodium-Ion Batteries

Considerable efforts have been exerted to understand the formation and properties of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) in sodium ion batteries. However, the puzzling existence and role of SEI behind the huge volume changes of the graphite electrodes need to be answered. Herein, the reason of how ether-derived SEI maintains excellent reversibility despite the huge volume changes during cycling is unraveled. Theoretical simulations and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrate the formation mechanism of an SEI between the graphite anode and electrolyte. Furthermore, the high mechanical tolerance of the ether-derived SEI is confirmed in atomic force microscopy. A depth profile of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy points to a multilayer structure of the ether-derived SEI. The outer layer comprises organics (sodium alkoxide), while the inorganics (Na 2 CO 3 , NaF) in interior region are mixed with some organics. Notably, the presence of organics ensures the adaptability of the SEI to the volume expansion of graphite during cycling, and the concentrated distribution of inorganics improves the Young's modulus (resistance to deformation). Therefore, the graphite anode exhibits high cycle stability (96.6% capacity retention ratio at 1 A g –1 over 860 cycles) and efficiency (≈99.5%).

Enhancing lithium storage performance of bimetallic oxides anode by synergistic effects

Spinel bimetallic transition metal oxide anode such as ZnMn 2 O 4 , has drawn increasing interest due to attractive bimetal interaction and high theoretical capacity. While it suffers from huge volume expansion and poor ionic/electronic conductivity. Nanosizing and carbon modification can alleviate these issues, while the optimal particle size within host is unclear yet. We here propose an in-situ confinement growth strategy to fabricate pomegranate-structured ZnMn 2 O 4 nanocomposite with calculated optimal particle size in mesoporous carbon host. Theoretical calculations reveal favorable interatomic interactions between the metal atoms. Further, by the synergistic effects of structural merits and bimetal interaction, the optimal ZnMn 2 O 4 composite achieves greatly improved cycling stability (811 mAh g -1 at 0.2 A g -1 after 100 cycles), which can maintain its structural integrity upon cycling. X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis further confirms delithiated Mn species (Mn 2 O 3 but little MnO). Briefly, this strategy brings new opportunity to ZnMn 2 O 4 anode, which could be adopted to other conversion/alloying-type electrodes.

In this work, a novel electrode comprising cobalt nanoparticles and Co 3 O 4 embedded in wastepaper-derived porous carbon has been developed for use in a flexible all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor. The integration of cobalt nanoparticles and Co 3 O 4 introduces redox-active centres, which enhance the electrochemical activity of the carbon framework. Mean while, the interconnected porous and conductive carbon network enables rapid ion diffusion and efficient electron transport, synergistically improving the overall electrochemical performance.

Entropy-Stabilized Multication Fluorides as a Conversion-Type Cathode for Li-Ion Batteries–Impact of Element Selection

Metal fluorides (e.g., FeF 2 and FeF 3 ) have received attention as conversion-type cathode materials for Li-ion batteries due to their higher theoretical capacity compared to that of common intercalation materials. However, their practical use has been hindered by low round-trip efficiency, voltage hysteresis, and capacity fading. Cation substitution has been proposed to address these challenges, and recent advancements in battery performance involve the introduction of entropy stabilization in an attempt to facilitate reversible conversion reactions by increasing configurational entropy. Building on this concept, high entropy fluorides with five cations were synthesized by using a simple mechanochemical route. In order to examine the impact of element selection, Co 0.2 Cu 0.2 Ni 0.2 Zn 0.2 Fe 0.2 F 2 (HEF-Fe) was compared with Co 0.2 Cu 0.2 Ni 0.2 Zn 0.2 Mg 0.2 F 2 (HEF-Mg), replacing electrochemically inactive Mg with Fe as an active participant in the conversion reaction. Combining electrochemical measurements with first-principles calculations, high-resolution electron microscopy, and synchrotron X-ray analysis, HEFs’ battery performances and conversion reaction mechanisms were investigated in detail. The results highlighted that replacement of Mg with Fe was beneficial, with enhanced capacity, rate capability, and surface stability. In addition, it was found that HEF-Fe showed similar cycle stability without an electrochemically inactive element. In conclusion, these findings provide valuable insights for the design of high entropy multielement fluorides for improved Li-ion battery performance.

A universal etching method for synthesizing high-performance single crystal cathode materials

LiNi x MnyCo 1-x-y O 2 (NMC) is considered the most appealing cathode material due to its high energy density and low cost. However, the stability and safety concerns, caused by the degradation of polycrystalline cathode materials during cycling, have restricted their practical applications. To overcome this shortcoming, converting polycrystalline cathode to high-performance single-crystal cathode materials becomes an appealing solution. In this work, a universal etching approach is firstly developed to synthesize single-crystal cathode materials. The rate performance of the obtained single-crystal NMC111 is 10–15% more than that of polycrystalline NMC111 whereas the capacity retention of single-crystal NMC111 is enhanced by ~12% after 300 cycles at 0.5C. The obtained single-crystal NMC622 exhibits a pronounced improvement in rate performance, especially at high rates (~28.6% better at 5C and ~129% better at 10C) and has a comparable cycle performance compared to polycrystalline NMC622. Altogether, the findings propose an alternative approach to generate single-crystal particles with high energy density and cycle stability for the next generation lithium-ion batteries.

Nanostructured C@CuS Core–Shell Framework with High Lithium-Ion Storage Performance

In this study, we have synthesized a nanostructured core–shell framework of carbon-coated copper sulfide (C@CuS) through a one-step precipitation technique. The carbon sphere template facilitated the nucleation of CuS nanostructures. The synthesized nanocomposites have demonstrated remarkable lithium-ion storage capabilities when utilized as an anode in lithium-ion batteries. Notably, they exhibit an impressive rate capability of 314 mAh g -1 at a high current density of 5000 mA g -1 , along with excellent long-term cycle stability, maintaining 463 mAh g -1 at 1000 mA g -1 after 800 cycles. This superior performance is due to the core–shell architecture of the composite, where the carbon core enhances the conductivity of CuS nanoparticles and mitigates volume expansion, thus preventing capacity loss. Our study not only elucidates the significance of carbon in the construction of nano-heterojunctions or composite electrodes but also presents a practical approach to significantly boost the electrochemical performance of CuS and other metal sulfides.

Improving Ionic Conformality Across Polymer Electrolyte|Electrode Interfaces

Maintaining uniform ionic transport at electrode|electrolyte interfaces, i.e., ionic conformality, remains challenging in polymer electrolyte (PE)-based solid-state batteries. Morphological conformality does not necessarily imply ionic conformality. In PEs, which typically consist of a mechanically supporting component and distinct ionically conductive components, the rearrangement or depletion of mobile ion-conductive domains at interfaces can disrupt ionic transport pathways. Such localized ionic depletion contributes to interfacial instability and capacity degradation in high-voltage lithium-metal batteries. Herein, an electrolyte design approach aimed at minimizing interfacial heterogeneities is demonstrated through compositional adjustments, characterized by spatially resolved structural and chemical X-ray techniques and NMR diffusometry to elucidate ion transport dynamics. This approach improves ionic conformality at electrode interfaces, enhancing cycling stability in Li||LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NMC811) coin and pouch cells cycled at high voltages. These results contribute to understanding interfacial behaviors in multiphase PEs and inform strategies for improving stability across solid-state battery interfaces.
