Ligand-channel-enabled ultrafast Li-ion conduction

Li-ion batteries (LIBs) for electric vehicles and aviation demand high energy density, fast charging and a wide operating temperature range, which are virtually impossible because they require electrolytes to simultaneously have high ionic conductivity, low solvation energy and low melting point and form an anion-derived inorganic interphase. We report guidelines for designing such electrolytes by using small-sized solvents with low solvation energy. The tiny solvent in the secondary solvation sheath pulls out the Li + in the primary solvation sheath to form a fast ion-conduction ligand channel to enhance Li + transport, while the small-sized solvent with low solvation energy also allows the anion to enter the first Li + solvation shell to form an inorganic-rich interphase. The electrolyte-design concept is demonstrated by using fluoroacetonitrile (FAN) solvent. The electrolyte of 1.3 M lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) in FAN exhibits ultrahigh ionic conductivity of 40.3 mS cm -1 at 25 °C and 11.9 mS cm -1 even at -70 °C, thus enabling 4.5-V graphite||LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 pouch cells (1.2 Ah, 2.85 mAh cm -2 ) to achieve high reversibility (0.62 Ah) when the cells are charged and discharged even at -65 °C. The electrolyte with small-sized solvents enables LIBs to simultaneously achieve high energy density, fast charging and a wide operating temperature range, which is unattainable for the current electrolyte design but is highly desired for extreme LIBs. This mechanism is generalizable and can be expanded to other metal-ion battery electrolytes.

(CrMnCoNiTi) 3 O 4 high-entropy spinel oxide as a high-performance electrode for supercapacitors

In this study, spinel-structured (CrMnCoNiTi)₃O₄ high-entropy oxides (HEOs) have been successfully synthesized using the solution combustion method, and their performance as supercapacitor electrode materials was investigated. These HEOs exhibit excellent performance, stemming from the unique high-entropy effect and lattice distortion. This structure effectively buffers volumetric strain during cycling, conferring the material with extremely high structural stability and specific capacity. The material demonstrates a high specific capacity of 491.5 C∙g⁻¹ at a current density of 0.5 A∙g⁻¹. Furthermore, it shows extraordinary cycling stability: after 10,000 charge/discharge cycles at 5 A∙g⁻¹, the capacity retention rate is 99%, and the Coulombic efficiency consistently remains close to 100%. Ex-situ structural characterizations further reveal that this excellent cycling durability originates from a cooperative multination valence reconstruction mechanism within an entropy-stabilized spinel framework. Additionally, a symmetric supercapacitor assembled using this material and 1 M KOH electrolyte successfully extended the working voltage to 1.2 V. This research highlights the great potential of high-entropy oxides in synergizing high energy density and ultra-long cycling life, laying a solid foundation for the development of next-generation high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials.

Modeling Structured Electrodes and Graded Porosity for Improving Discharge Rate Capability in Ultra-Thick Graphite|LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 O 2 Batteries

Long-range electric vehicles (EVs) require high-energy-density batteries that also meet the power demands of high current charge and discharge. Ultra-thick (>100 μm) Lithium-ion battery electrodes are critical to enable this need, but slow ion transport in conventional uniform electrodes (UEs) reduces battery capacity at increasing charge/discharge rates. We present a 3D computational analysis on the impact of structured electrode (SE) and graded electrode (GE) geometries on the discharge rate capability of ultra-thick graphite|LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 O 2 (NMC-622) battery cells based on the footprint of a commercial EV pouch cell. SE cathodes with either a “grid” or “line” geometry and GEs with two layers of porosity were modeled. Based on the results of 230 models, we found that the electrolyte volume fraction is a key parameter that impacts capacity improvements in UEs, GEs, and SEs at 2 C–6 C discharge rates. SEs have the greatest discharge rate capability, outperforming GEs and UEs due to reduced Lithium-ion concentration gradients across the electrode thickness, which mitigates electrolyte depletion at high rates. The best SE model has a “grid” geometry with gravimetric and volumetric energy density improvements of 0.9%–4% at C/2–2 C and 18%–24% at 4 C–6 C relative to UEs.

Machine learning for improved current-density reconstruction from two-dimensional vector magnetic images

The reconstruction of electrical current densities from magnetic field measurements is an important technique with applications in materials science, circuit design, quality control, plasma physics, and biology. Analytic reconstruction methods exist for planar currents, but break down in the presence of high-spatial-frequency noise or large standoff distance, restricting the types of systems that can be studied. Here, we demonstrate the use of a deep convolutional neural network for current density reconstruction from two-dimensional images of vector magnetic fields acquired by a quantum diamond microscope . Trained network performance significantly exceeds analytic reconstruction for data with high noise or large standoff distances. This machine learning technique can perform quality inversions on lower-signal-to-noise-ratio data, significantly reducing the data collection time and permitting reconstructions of weaker and three-dimensional current sources.

Field Emission Current Transfer for Homopolar Machines

With the increasing electrification of transportation, the need for high power density electric machines is higher than ever. The required specific power for the more demanding applications, such as airplane propulsion, is over 20 kW/kg for multi-megawatt range power levels. Fully superconducting synchronous machines could reach the required performance, but significant challenges remain to be addressed such as AC losses management and rotating cryogenics implementation. Homopolar machines constitute the simplest electro-mechanical conversion systems possible, however the difficulty of establishing reliable and efficient low voltage, high DC current transfer from a stationary to a rotating system has prevented homopolar machines from competing with AC electrical machines. While sliding contacts or liquid metal contacts are feasible, they lead to high losses, high maintenance requirements and the use of environmentally unfriendly materials. We investigated field emission current transfer as an alternative to sliding contacts. We have demonstrated field emission current transfer in vacuum between a copper electrode and carbon nanotubes and diamond pyramids to evaluate the feasibility of contact-free current transfer for homopolar machines. The initial field emission testing was successfully demonstrated with current densities in the 10 mA/cm 2 range. The initial experiments validated the concept and supported the development of a roadmap for the development of contactless current transfer for homopolar machines, helped understand the limitations of the current test system and identify the key parameters that will lead to better performance.

Small‐Molecule Mixed Ionic‐Electronic Conductors for Efficient N‐Type Electrochemical Transistors: Structure‐Function Correlations

Abstract The fundamental challenge in electron‐transporting organic mixed ionic‐electronic conductors (OMIECs) is simultaneous optimization of electron and ion transport. Beginning from Y6‐type/U‐shaped non‐fullerene solar cell acceptors, we systematically synthesize and characterize molecular structures that address the aforementioned challenge, progressively introducing increasing numbers of oligoethyleneglycol (OEG; g) sidechains from 1 g to 3 g, affording OMIECs 1gY, 2gY, and 3gY, respectively. The crystal structure of 1gY preserves key structural features of the Y n series: a U‐shaped/planar core, close π–π molecular stacking, and interlocked acceptor groups. Versus inactive Y6 and Y11, all of the new glycolated compounds exhibit mixed ion‐electron transport in both conventional organic electrochemical transistor (cOECT) and vertical OECT (vOECT) architectures. Notably, 3gY with the highest OEG density achieves a high transconductance of 16.5 mS, an on/off current ratio of ~10 6 , and a turn‐on/off response time of 94.7/5.7 ms in vOECTs. Systematic optoelectronic, electrochemical, architectural, and crystallographic analysis explains the superior 3gY‐based OECT performance in terms of denser n gY OEG content, increased crystallite dimensions with decreased long‐range crystalline order, and enhanced film hydrophilicity which facilitates ion transport and efficient redox processes. Finally, we demonstrate an efficient small‐molecule‐based complementary inverter using 3gY vOECTs, showcasing the bioelectronic applicability of these new small‐molecule OMIECs.

A Multifunctional Isostructural Bilayer Oxygen Evolution Electrode for Durable Intermediate-Temperature Electrochemical Water Splitting

The overarching goal of the proposed research is to address SOEC’s degradation problem by advancing a new isostructural highly electrocatalytically active bilayer oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrode, consisting of a LSCF (La 1-x Sr x Co 1-y Fe y O 3-δ ) core and a SCT (SrCo 0.9 Ta 0.1 O 3-δ ) shell, to achieve high and sustainable rate of oxygen evolution matching operating current densities without encountering delamination. To realize this goal, the project has adopted a combined experimental and theoretical approach to conduct research in the following six areas closely associated with SOPO tasks: 1) Development of electrocatalytically active bilayer oxygen electrodes (SOPO task-1) 2) Development of new symmetric three electrode cell (STEC) methodology to extract electrokinetic data of oxygen electrodes (SOPO task-2) 3) Quantification of electrokinetics of bilayer oxygen electrodes and correlation with degradation and delamination (SOPO task-2) 4) Performances of bilayer oxygen electrodes under fuel cells and electrolyzers modes (SOPO task-3) 5) Microscale modeling of oxygen electrode/electrolyte interface in solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOPO task-4) 6) Prediction of crack growth rate at oxygen electrode/electrolyte interface in solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOPO task-4)

Extreme Enhancement-Mode Operation Accumulation Channel Hydrogen-Terminated Diamond FETs with V th < -6 V and High on-Current

In this work, a new Field Effect Transistor device concept based on hydrogen-terminated diamond (H-diamond) is demonstrated that operates in an Accumulation Channel rather than a Transfer Doping regime. The FET devices demonstrate both extreme enhancement-mode operation and high on-current with improved channel charge mobility compared to Transfer-Doped equivalents. Electron-beam evaporated Al 2 O 3 is used on H-diamond to suppress the Transfer Doping mechanism and produce an extremely high ungated channel resistance. A high-quality H-diamond surface with an unpinned Fermi level is crucially achieved, allowing for the formation of a high-density hole accumulation layer by gating the entire device channel which is encapsulated in dual-stacks of Al 2 O 3 . Completed devices with gate/channel length of 1 µm demonstrate record threshold voltage < -6 V with on-current > 80 mA mm -1 . Carrier density and mobility figures extracted by CV analysis indicate a high 2D charge density of ≈ 2 × 10 12 cm -2 and increased hole mobility of 110 cm 2 V -1 s -1 in comparison with more traditional Transfer-Doped H-diamond FETs. These results demonstrate the most negative threshold voltage yet reported for H-diamond FETs and highlight a powerful new strategy to greatly improve carrier mobility and enable enhanced high power and high frequency diamond transistor performance.

Hyperconjugation-controlled molecular conformation weakens lithium-ion solvation and stabilizes lithium metal anodes

Tuning the solvation structure of lithium ions via electrolyte engineering has proven effective for lithium metal (Li) anodes. Further advancement that bypasses the trial-and-error practice relies on the establishment of molecular design principles. Expanding the scope of our previous work on solvent fluorination, we report here an alternative design principle for non-fluorinated solvents, which potentially have reduced cost, environmental impact, and toxicity. By studying non-fluorinated ethers systematically, we found that the short-chain acetals favor the [gauche, gauche] molecular conformation due to hyperconjugation, which leads to weakened monodentate coordination with Li + . The dimethoxymethane electrolyte showed fast activation to >99% coulombic efficiency (CE) and high ionic conductivity of 8.03 mS cm -1 . The electrolyte performance was demonstrated in anode-free Cu$∥$LFP pouch cells at current densities up to 4 mA cm -2 (70 to 100 cycles) and thin-Li$∥$high-loading-LFP coin cells (200–300 cycles). Overall, we demonstrated and rationalized the improvement in Li metal cyclability by the acetal structure compared to ethylene glycol ethers. We expect further improvement in performance by tuning the acetal structure.

Characterization of power delivery and losses in a long coaxial inner MITL

The long coaxial inner magnetically insulated transmission line (MITL) is considered as a possible transmission line to guide power to deep underground high yield fusion experiments. The considered dimensions are of order 10-15 meters in length, 60 cm radius, and 6 mm AK gap, with peak current 60 MA and peak pulse 100 ns. In designing such a MITL, the main concern is power loss due to low density plasmas being produced by high electric fields and temperatures. It is found that a 10m-long prototypical MITL is a viable design, with maximum current losses below 10% and temperature rise due to electron impact not exceeding 400°C, thereby avoiding thermal desorption of contaminants and the formation of low density plasmas.

Overview of ASDEX upgrade results in view of ITER and DEMO

Experiments on ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) in 2021 and 2022 have addressed a number of critical issues for ITER and EU DEMO. A major objective of the AUG programme is to shed light on the underlying physics of confinement, stability, and plasma exhaust in order to allow reliable extrapolation of results obtained on present day machines to these reactor-grade devices. Concerning pedestal physics, the mitigation of edge localised modes (ELMs) using resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) was found to be consistent with a reduction of the linear peeling-ballooning stability threshold due to the helical deformation of the plasma. Conversely, ELM suppression by RMPs is ascribed to an increased pedestal transport that keeps the plasma away from this boundary. Candidates for this increased transport are locally enhanced turbulence and a locked magnetic island in the pedestal. The enhanced D-alpha (EDA) and quasi-continuous exhaust (QCE) regimes have been established as promising ELM-free scenarios. Here, the pressure gradient at the foot of the H-mode pedestal is reduced by a quasi-coherent mode, consistent with violation of the high-n ballooning mode stability limit there. This is suggestive that the EDA and QCE regimes have a common underlying physics origin. In the area of transport physics, full radius models for both L- and H-modes have been developed. These models predict energy confinement in AUG better than the commonly used global scaling laws, representing a large step towards the goal of predictive capability. A new momentum transport analysis framework has been developed that provides access to the intrinsic torque in the plasma core. In the field of exhaust, the X-Point Radiator (XPR), a cold and dense plasma region on closed flux surfaces close to the X-point, was described by an analytical model that provides an understanding of its formation as well as its stability, i.e., the conditions under which it transitions into a deleterious MARFE with the potential to result in a disruptive termination. With the XPR close to the divertor target, a new detached divertor concept, the compact radiative divertor, was developed. Here, the exhaust power is radiated before reaching the target, allowing close proximity of the X-point to the target. No limitations by the shallow field line angle due to the large flux expansion were observed, and sufficient compression of neutral density was demonstrated. With respect to the pumping of non-recycling impurities, the divertor enrichment was found to mainly depend on the ionisation energy of the impurity under consideration. In the area of MHD physics, analysis of the hot plasma core motion in sawtooth crashes showed good agreement with nonlinear 2-fluid simulations. This indicates that the fast reconnection observed in these events is adequately described including the pressure gradient and the electron inertia in the parallel Ohm’s law. Concerning disruption physics, a shattered pellet injection system was installed in collaboration with the ITER International Organisation. Thanks to the ability to vary the shard size distribution independently of the injection velocity, as well as its impurity admixture, it was possible to tailor the current quench rate, which is an important requirement for future large devices such as ITER. Progress was also made modelling the force reduction of VDEs induced by massive gas injection on AUG. The H-mode density limit was characterised in terms of safe operational space with a newly developed active feedback control method that allowed the stability boundary to be probed several times within a single discharge without inducing a disruptive termination. Regarding integrated operation scenarios, the role of density peaking in the confinement of the ITER baseline scenario (high plasma current) was clarified. The usual energy confinement scaling ITER98(p,y) does not capture this effect, but the more recent H20 scaling does, highlighting again the importance of developing adequate physics based models. Advanced tokamak scenarios, aiming at large non-inductive current fraction due to non-standard profiles of the safety factor in combination with high normalised plasma pressure were studied with a focus on their access conditions. A method to guide the approach of the targeted safety factor profiles was developed, and the conditions for achieving good confinement were clarified. Based on this, two types of advanced scenarios (‘hybrid’ and ‘elevated’

Amorphous Iridium Oxide-Integrated Anode Electrodes with Ultrahigh Material Utilization for Hydrogen Production at Industrial Current Densities

Herein, ionomer-free amorphous iridium oxide (IrO x ) thin electrodes are first developed as highly active anodes for proton exchange membrane electrolyzer cells (PEMECs) via low-cost, environmentally friendly, and easily scalable electrodeposition at room temperature. Combined with a Nafion 117 membrane, the IrO x -integrated electrode with an ultralow loading of 0.075 mg cm –2 delivers a high cell efficiency of about 90%, achieving more than 96% catalyst savings and 42-fold higher catalyst utilization compared to commercial catalyst-coated membrane (2 mg cm –2 ). Additionally, the IrO x electrode demonstrates superior performance, higher catalyst utilization and significantly simplified fabrication with easy scalability compared with the most previously reported anodes. Notably, the remarkable performance could be mainly due to the amorphous phase property, sufficient Ir 3+ content, and rich surface hydroxide groups in catalysts. Overall, due to the high activity, high cell efficiency, an economical, greatly simplified and easily scalable fabrication process, and ultrahigh material utilization, the IrO x electrode shows great potential to be applied in industry and accelerates the commercialization of PEMECs and renewable energy evolution.

Radiation-hydrodynamics simulations are critical to the NNSA complex for understanding high energy density physics and for addressing problems in national security science. However, current rad-hydro codes typically do not account for viscosity, which generally leads to large uncertainties in problems involving mixing of materials under shock loading. This report details progress made towards experimental measurements of fluid viscosity at high pressures and temperatures achieved by shock wave compression techniques, as well as complementary material model development and hydrodynamic simulations.

A Dendrite-Resistant Sodium/Porous-Carbon Anode for Solid-State Batteries – Strategies and Challenges for Low-Pressure Operation

Sodium solid-state batteries (Na-SSB) have gained interest recently due to the abundance of Na over Li, but they still tend to fail due to dendrites under practical current densities and cycling capacities. To overcome this, Na-SSBs are frequently tested with impractically high applied pressure. In this work, a porous carbon interfacial layer is utilized in conjunction with Na-ß”-Al2O3 solid electrolytes to enable Na-cycling at milder cell pressures. This sodium/porous carbon layer enables improved solid-state Na cycling in symmetric cells, up to a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at 25 °C. Cycling up to 1 mAh cm-2 is challenging with low pressure, but 1 mAh cm-2 capacity can be reliably cycled at 1 mA cm-2 at an elevated temperature of 60 °C in symmetric cells. Finally, the evolution of the interface and sodium/carbon anode is evaluated with cryogenic ion-milling and cross-sectional imaging revealing that, depending on testing temperature, pressure, current density, and capacity, void formation, Na-extraction from porous carbon, delamination of the porous carbon matrix, or a combination of these occurs at the interface between Na-metal and BASE. Despite this, excellent dendrite resistance is achieved, and a full-cell design utilizing a Na-transition metal oxide cathode is still able to achieve an areal capacity of ~ 2.7 mAh cm-2 at 0.125 mA cm-2. This work demonstrates an alternative pathway toward a Na-metal anode for Na-SSBs without the requirement of excessive stack pressure.

Complete Phase Transformation of Ir Nanowire Network into Defect-Rich Oxide Catalyst for High-Performance PEM Water Electrolysis

Iridium-based catalysts remain the most reliable option for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs). However, their high cost and limited performance represent critical barriers to the commercialization of this green hydrogen production technology. Herein, we report the creation of a metallic Ir nanowire network (IrNWN), which exhibits superior OER performance through its in-situ transition into an oxide structure with high intrinsic activity. At a low loading of 0.25 mgIr/cm2 in PEMWEs, IrNWN achieved a current density of 3.13 A/cm2 at a cell voltage of 1.8 V, outperforming the commercial Ir-based catalyst and surpassing the Department of Energy (DOE) 2026 technical target. Moreover, the high activity of IrNWN was maintained for 900 hours in a durability test at 2 A/cm2, showing a low degradation rate of 0.042 mV/hour. Structural analysis of the electrochemically oxidized IrNWN revealed the presence of mixed Ir oxidation states and a high density of surface terminal oxygen groups (μ1-O), which contributed to a reduced energy barrier for the rate-determining O-O coupling step.

Cellulose regulated lignin/cellulose-based carbon materials with hierarchical porous structure for energy storage

Lignin has gained extensive attention as an ideal carbon precursor due to its abundance and high carbon content. However, the agglomeration of lignin and additional corrosive and unrecyclable reagents in direct pyrolysis still limit the development of lignin-based porous carbons. Herein, a facile and eco-friendly strategy was proposed to fabricate hierarchical porous lignin/cellulose-based carbon materials (LCs). In the process, cellulose nanofibrils acted as the skeleton of the bio-aerogels, which supported lignin and benefit the preparation of the LCs. Moreover, the specific surface area and the graphitization degree of LCs can be regulated by varying the cellulose content. Without activation, the bio-based carbon material (LC30) had a high specific surface area of 1770 m 2 g –1 , which displayed high specific capacitance of 216.2 F g –1 at the current density of 0.5 A g –1 . The supercapacitor based on LC30 also showed outstanding energy density of 12.3 Wh kg –1 at the power density of 50 W kg –1 . The sustainable raw material, simple and harmless preparation process, and remarkable electrochemical performance enable LC30, a promising supercapacitor electrode for energy storage.
