High-Voltage Potassium Hexacyanoferrate Cathode via High-Entropy and Potassium Incorporation for Stable Sodium-Ion Batteries

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) used as sodium ion battery (SIB) cathodes are usually the focus of attention due to their three-dimensional open frame and high theoretical capacity. Nonetheless, the disadvantages of a low working voltage and inferior structural stability of PBAs prevent their further applications. Herein, we propose constructing the K x (MnFeCoNiCu)[Fe(CN) 6 ] (HE-K-PBA) cathode by high-entropy and potassium incorporation strategy to simultaneously realize high working voltage and cycling stability. In this study, the reaction mechanism of metal cations in HE-K-PBA are revealed by synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and in situ Raman spectra. We also investigate the entropy stabilization mechanism via finite element simulation, demonstrating that HE-K-PBA with small von Mises stress and weak structure strain can significantly mitigate the structural distortion. Benefit from the stable structure and everlasting K + (de)intercalation, the HE-K-PBA delivers high output voltage (3.46 V), good reversible capacity (120.5 mAh g –1 at 0.01 A g –1 ), and capacity retention of 90.4% after 1700 cycles at 1.0 A g –1 . Moreover, the assembled full cell and all-solid-state batteries with a stable median voltage of 3.29 V over 3000 cycles further demonstrate the application prospects of the HE-K-PBA cathode.

Hydrogen bonds enhanced composite polymer electrolyte for high-voltage cathode of solid-state lithium battery

Polymer electrolyte is one of the important components for developing advanced solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs). However, the narrow electrochemical stability window restricts the practical application with high-voltage cathodes. In this study, a series of composite solid electrolytes (CSEs), possessing both wide electrochemical stability window (up to 5.0 V vs. Li + /Li) and high ionic conductivity (over 1.35×10 -3 S/cm at 25 °C), were reported by integrating SiO 2 nanoparticles into poly(vinyl ethylene carbonate) polymer electrolyte. The enhanced anti-oxidation performances are mainly caused and confirmed by the local intermolecular interactions of hydrogen bonds in CSE. Based on this CSE, the SSLBs with LiCoO 2 cathode present good cycle stability at high voltage, and the capacity retention with 4.5 V cut-off voltage is about 94% after 200 cycles. This work not only proves the importance of intermolecular interactions in CSE, but also provides an effective method for achieving high-energy SSLBs with enhanced interface compatibility between polymer electrolyte and highvoltage cathodes

Ethylene Carbonate–Free Electrolytes for Stable, Safer High–Nickel Lithium–Ion Batteries

Ethylene carbonate (EC) is an important component in state-of-the-art electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, EC is highly susceptible to oxidation on the surface of high-nickel layered oxide cathodes, making it undesirable for next-generation high-energy-density LIBs. In this study, a simple, yet effective, EC-free electrolyte (20F1.5M-1TDI) is presented by adding 20 wt% fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and 1 wt% lithium 4,5-dicyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)imidazole (LiTDI) into 1.5 M LiPF 6 in an ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) electrolyte. The 20F1.5M-1TDI electrolyte is found to efficiently passivate the graphite anode and stabilize high-nickel cathodes by a synergistic decomposition of FEC and LiTDI. The LiNi 0.9 Mn 0.05 Al 0.05 O 2 (NMA90)/graphite full cell with the 20F1.5M-1TDI electrolyte, therefore, exhibits an enhanced cycling stability and a suppressed voltage hysteresis growth compared to that with an EC-containing baseline electrolyte (1 M LiPF 6 in EC:EMC, 3:7 in weight, with 2 wt% vinyl carbonate). Advanced analytical tools, such as time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, are employed to understand the underlying working mechanism of the EC-free electrolyte. Furthermore, the present study clearly showcases the great potential of EC-free electrolytes as a straightforward, practical approach for LIBs with high-nickel cathodes.

Surface oxygenation induced strong interaction between Pd catalyst and functional support for zinc–air batteries

Employing the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) effect for promoting the catalyst's activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is promising due to the electronic structure optimization and high utilization efficiency of platinum group metal (PGM) catalysts. Metal oxides as alternative supports for PGMs facilitate intrinsic activity and improve durability as compared to conventional carbon supports. However, the restricted mass and electron transfer at the metal/support interface need to be addressed. Herein, to strengthen the interaction at the metal/support interfaces and improve the utilization efficiency of PGM, an ultralow loading of Pd was embedded in a surface-oxygenated PdNiMnO porous film. The Mn-doping was designed to promote surface oxygenation using a facile anodization process that created sufficiently exposed interfaces between Pd and the support, strengthening the SMSI effects at the Pd/oxygenated support interface for enhancing ORR performance. Furthermore, the Ni-containing oxygenated catalyst served as both the active component for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the functional support for stabilizing Pd, making PdNiMnO a bifunctional catalyst for zinc–air flow batteries (ZAFB). As a proof-of-concept, the ZAFB (PdNiMnO) shows a maximal power density of 211.6 mW cm –2 and outstanding cycling stability for over 2000 h with a minimal voltage gap of 0.69 V at a current density of 10 mA cm –2 , superior to the state-of-the-art catalysts.

Achieving stable all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries by tuning the cathode-electrolyte interface and ionic/electronic transport within the cathode

All-solid-state batteries with sulfide electrolytes and high-nickel layered oxide cathodes attract much interest due to their high specific energy. However, their cycling performance is primarily influenced by the interface between the sulfide electrolyte and the high-Ni layered oxide particles, which requires the use of composite cathodes with high ionic and electronic conductivities to achieve a kinetically stable interface inside the cathode. Here, we apply Ti 2 O 3 particles to the high-Ni cathode LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NCM811), where Ti 2 O 3 not only acts as an electronic conductor to provide a fast diffusion path for electrons in the composite cathode, but also absorbs the lattice oxygen released from NCM811 cathode during cycling, stabilizing the Li 6 PS 5 Cl/NCM811 interface and suppressing electrolyte oxidation. The as-modified cathode exhibits an initial specific capacity of 192 mAh g -1 and retains 166 mAh g -1 after 140 cycles at 0.1C rate with a good capacity retention of 86.5%. Furthermore, the composite cathode displays high rate capability even at 1C rate. By contrast, the unmodified Li 6 PS 5 Cl/NCM811 cathode shows poor cycling performance with only 130 mAh g -1 remaining after 130 cycles. This work provides a new direction for the design of cathodes for all-solid-state batteries that can deliver high specific energy with long cycle life.

Structure and Interface Design Enable Stable Li-Rich Cathode

Li-rich layered-oxide cathodes have the highest theoretical energy density among all the intercalated cathodes, which have attracted intense interests for high energy Li-ion batteries. However, O3-structured layered-oxide cathodes suffer from a low initial Coulombic efficiency (CE), severe voltage fade, and poor cycling stability because of the continuous oxygen release, structural rearrangements due to irreversible transition-metal migration, and serious side reactions between the delithiated cathode and electrolyte. In this work, we report that these challenges are migrated by using a stable O2-structured Li 1.2 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 Mn 0.54 O 2 (O2-LR-NCM) and all-fluorinated electrolyte. The O2-LR-NCM can restrict the transition metals migrating into the Li layer and the in situ formed fluorinated cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) on the surface of the O2-LR-NCM from the decomposition of all-fluorinated electrolyte during initial cycles effectively restrains the structure transition, suppresses the O2 release, and thereby safeguards the transition metal redox couples, enabling a highly reversible and stable oxygen redox reaction. O2-LR-NCM in all fluorinated electrolytes achieves a high initial CE of 99.82 % and cycling CE of and cycling CE of >99.9%, high reversible capacity of 278 mAh/g, and high capacity retention of 83.3% after 100 cycles. The synergic design of electrolyte and cathode structure represents a promising direction to stabilize high-energy cathodes.

In Situ Cyclized Polyacrylonitrile Coating: Key to Stabilizing Porous High-Entropy Oxide Anodes for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) composed of multiple metal elements have attracted great attention as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the synergistic effects of various metal species. However, the practical applications of HEOs are still plagued by poor conductivity, unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and poor cycling stability. In this work, nanosized (FeCoNiCrMn) 3 O 4 HEO (NHEO) is prepared successfully by the NaCl-assisted mechanical ball-milling strategy. Novelly, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is used as the binder and then in situ thermochemically cyclized to construct a cyclized PAN (cPAN) outer layer onto NHEO (NHEO-cPAN). The in situ formed cPAN coating not only improves the electrical conductivity, but also reinforces the structural and interfacial stability, and thereby, the resulted NHEO-cPAN electrode exhibits significantly enhanced rate and cyclic performance. Specifically, NHEO-PAN500 electrode delivers a high reversible capacity of 560 mAh g –1 at 5 A g –1 and a high-capacity retention of 83% over 800 cycles at 3 A g –1 . Furthermore, the structural evolution and electrochemical behavior of NHEO-PAN electrode during discharge/charge is systematically investigated by operando X-ray diffraction, in situ impedance spectroscopy and ex situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Therefore, this work provides new insights into the engineering of electrode and interphase for high-performance HEO electrode materials, potentially enlightening the practical applications of HEO-based LIBs.

Structural Changes during the Conversion Reaction of Tungsten Oxide Electrodes with Tailored, Mesoscale Porosity

In-plane tungsten oxide nanostructures, including hexagonally patterned cylinders and holes in a matrix, were fabricated via sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) on self-assembled block copolymer templates. Using the tailored morphology and porosity of these model electrodes with in situ grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering, the intrinsic structural change of nanoscale active materials during the conversion reaction of WO 3 + 6Li ↔ W + 3 Li 2 O was investigated at controlled electrochemical conditions. Reversible electrode volume expansion and contraction was observed during lithiation and delithiation cycles, respectively. The potential where electrode’s thickness expansion started was ~1.6 V, which is close to thermodynamically expected one for conversion reaction of WO 3 with lithium (1.65 V). The temporal evolution of the electrode volume at constant electrode potentials revealed high overpotential for bulk lithiation and slow conversion reaction kinetics, despite the tailored porosity of the SIS electrodes. Oxide cylinders showed smaller overall electrode thickness change, likely due to unconstrained lateral volume change, as compared to a matrix with holes. On the other hand, better connectivity and guided volume change of the latter electrode morphology provided improved cycling stability. Additionally, heterogeneity in an electrode, from internal pores and density gradients, was found to aggravate the fragmentation of the electrode during conversion reaction. Insights into oxide conversion reaction kinetics and the relationship between electrode mesostructure and cycling behavior obtained from this study can help guide the more rational design of conversion electrode for high performing batteries.

Biomimetic composite architecture achieves ultrahigh rate capability and cycling life of sodium ion battery cathodes

Sodium ion batteries are an emerging candidate to replace lithium ion batteries in large-scale electrical energy storage systems due to the abundance and widespread distribution of sodium. Despite the growing interest, the development of high-performance sodium cathode materials remains a challenge. In particular, polyanionic compounds are considered as a strong cathode candidate owing to their better cycling stability, a flatter voltage profile, and stronger thermal stability compared to other cathode materials. Here, we report the rational design of a biomimetic bone-inspired polyanionic Na3V2(PO4)3-reduced graphene oxide composite (BI-NVP) cathode that achieves ultrahigh rate charging and ultralong cycling life in a sodium ion battery. At a charging rate of 1 C, BI-NVP delivers 97% of its theoretical capacity and is able to retain a voltage plateau even at the ultra-high rate of 200 C. It also shows long cycling life with capacity retention of 91% after 10 000 cycles at 50 C. The sodium ion battery cells with a BI-NVP cathode and Na metal anode were able to deliver a maximum specific energy of 350 W h kg−1 and maximum specific power of 154 kW kg−1. In situ and postmortem analyses of cycled BI-NVP (including by Raman and XRD spectra) HRTEM, and STEM-EELS, indicate highly reversible dilation–contraction, negligible electrode pulverization, and a stable NVP-reduced graphene oxide layer interface. The results presented here provide a rational and biomimetic material design for the electrode architecture for ultrahigh power and ultralong cyclability of the sodium ion battery full cells when paired with a sodium metal anode.

Additive engineering for robust interphases to stabilize high-Ni layered structures at ultra-high voltage of 4.8 V

Nickel-rich layered cathode materials promise high energy density for next-generation batteries when coupled with lithium metal anodes. However, the practical capacities accessible are far less than the theoretical values due to their structural instability during cycling, especially when charged at high voltages. Here we demonstrate that stable cycling with an ultra-high cut-off voltage of 4.8 V can be realized by using an appropriate amount of lithium difluorophosphate in a common commercial electrolyte. The Li||LiNi 0.76 Mn 0.14 Co 0.10 O 2 cell retains 97% of the initial capacity (235 mAh g -1 ) after 200 cycles. The cycling stability is ascribed to the robust interphase on the cathode. It is formed by lithium difluorophosphate decomposition, which is facilitated by the catalytic effect of transition metals. The decomposition products (Li 3 PO 4 and LiF) form a protective interphase. This suppresses transition metal dissolution and cathode surface reconstruction. It also facilitates uniform Li distribution within the cathode, effectively mitigating the strain and crack formation.

Stabilizing a Li–Mn–O Cathode by Blocking Lattice O Migration through a Nanoscale Phase Complex

Among all intercalation cathodes for Li-ion batteries, Li–Mn–O layered oxides offer the highest initial energy density at the lowest cost, due to the joint contribution from cationic and anionic redox chemistry. However, the poor cycling capability, resulting from the continuous lattice O loss at high potentials (>4.5 V), hinders practical applications. Herein, we employed phase complex engineering to obtain a new Li–Mn–O nanohybrid cathode featuring the uniform and coherent integration of layered nanodomains and spinel nanodomains. The combination of DFT calculations, synchrotron-based transmission X-ray microscopy, in situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry, in situ synchrotron XRD, and electrochemical tests demonstrated that the O migration path in layered nanodomains was blocked by the neighboring spinel nanodomains with a higher oxygen vacancy migration energy, thus effectively suppressing the irreversible lattice O loss at high potentials and enhancing the cycling stability in both capacity and average voltage. Finally, the strategy is experimentally demonstrated to be effective and it leads to a new path for developing stable high-energy-density cathode materials.

Efficient Lithium Metal Cycling over a Wide Range of Pressures from an Anion-Derived Solid-Electrolyte Interphase Framework

Advanced electrolytes were developed to improve the cyclability of lithium (Li) metal anodes, yet their working mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we study the Li cycling performance under different pressures in a 1 M Li bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide/fluorinated 1,4-dimethoxybutane electrolyte. A consistently long cycle life is achieved over a wide range of pressures (30–600 psi). We find that this is due to a completely different Li plating mode with more favorable deposition morphologies compared to that in a conventional carbonate electrolyte, which exhibits increasing cycle stability with increased pressure. We show that this is enabled by the properties of an anion-derived residual solid-electrolyte interphase (rSEI) framework on the electrode surface, an undercharacterized structure with profound implications for Li metal cycling. This anion-derived rSEI chemistry is likely the key to a prolonged cycle life of Li metal batteries and should be vigorously addressed in future electrolyte designs.

Dispersed Nickel Phthalocyanine Molecules on Carbon Nanotubes as Cathode Catalysts for Li-CO 2 Batteries

The Li-CO 2 battery has great potential for both CO 2 utilization and energy storage, but its practical application is limited by low energy efficiency and short cycle life. Efficient cathode catalysts are needed to address this issue. Herein, this work reports on molecularly dispersed electrocatalysts (MDEs) of nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc) anchored on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the cathode catalyst for Li-CO 2 batteries. The dispersed NiPc molecules efficiently catalyze CO 2 reduction, while the conductive and porous CNTs networks facilitate CO 2 evolution reaction, leading to enhanced discharging and charging performance compared to the NiPc and CNTs mixture. Octa-cyano substitution on NiPc (NiPc-CN) further enhances the interaction between the molecule and CNTs, resulting in better cycling stability. The Li-CO 2 battery with the NiPc-CN MDE cathode shows a high discharge voltage of 2.72 V and a small discharging–charging potential gap of 1.4 V, and can work stably for over 120 cycles. The reversibility of the cathode is confirmed by experimental characterizations. Finally, this work lays a foundation for the development of molecular catalysts for Li-CO 2 battery cathodes.

Understanding Charge Storage in Hydrated Layered Solids MOPO 4 (M = V, Nb) with Tunable Interlayer Chemistry

Hydrated layered solids are interesting charge storage hosts with potentially high electrochemical activity and interlayer tunability. Although it is often possible to tune their interlayer distance by a pillaring strategy, the poor electrochemical stability of such artificial structures remains a major issue in device operation. Here we investigate the charge storage properties of MOPO 4 (M = V, Nb) hydrates with a nanosheet morphology to understand the influence of the interlayer environment on cycling stability, as well as ion selectivity. While in hydrated VOPO 4 interlayer H 2 O molecules act as compressible springs to enable fast Li-/Na-ion transport kinetics and reasonable structural reversibility, NbOPO 4 layers with bridging PO 4 groups serving as permanent linkers exhibit highly stable cyclability for Li-ions, owing to a zero-volume-change ion transport process. However, the latter suffers from a much larger migration energy barrier for Na-ions. Lastly, our findings not only highlight a structurally intriguing material system, but also provide insights into reviving materials with an originally unstable interlayer chemical environment, and shed light on the design principles for creating electrochemically stable charge storage hosts.

Reversible redox chemistry in azobenzene-based organic molecules for high-capacity and long-life nonaqueous redox flow batteries

Redox flow batteries (RFBs), often categorized as aqueous and nonaqueous systems, represent a type of large-scale energy storage technology for renewable energy resources. Redox-active organic molecules have recently drawn extensive interests in RFBs as promising active materials due to their elemental abundance, structural diversity and high tunability of properties, but employing organic molecules in nonaqueous systems is far limited in terms of useable capacity and cycling stability. Here we introduce a class of azobenzene-based organic compounds with the azo group as redox-active center in the p-conjugated structure as new active materials to realize high-performance nonaqueous RFBs with long cycling life and high capacity. By screening suitable organic solvents with high solubility and conductivity, the azobenzene organic molecule was capable to achieve a stable long cycling with a low capacity decay of 0.014% per cycle and 0.16% per day over 1000 cycles. And the stable cycling of electrolytes under a high concentration of 1 M was also realized, delivering a high reversible capacity of ~46 Ah L -1 . The unique lithium-coupled redox chemistry accompanied with a voltage increase was observed and revealed by experimental characterization and theoretical simulation. With the reversible two-electron redox activity of azo group in p-conjugated structures, azobenzene as an azo-aromatic molecule represents a class of promising redox-active organics for potential grid-scale energy storage systems.

Accelerated Degradation in a Quasi-Single-Crystalline Layered Oxide Cathode for Lithium-Ion Batteries Caused by Residual Grain Boundaries

The rapidly growing demand of electrical vehicle (EV) requires high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with excellent cycling stability and safety performance. However, conventional polycrystalline high-Ni cathodes severely suffer from intrinsic chemo-mechanical degradation and fast capacity fade. The emerging single-crystallization strategy offers a promising pathway to improve the chemo-mechanical stability, however, the single-crystallinity of the cathode is not always guaranteed and residual grain boundaries (GBs) could persist in nonideal synthesis conditions, leading to the formation of ‘quasi’ single-crystalline (QSC) cathodes. So far, there is a lack of understanding of the influence of these residual GBs on the electrochemical performance and structural stability. Herein, we investigate the degradation pathway of a QSC high-Ni cathode through transmission electron microscopy and X-ray techniques. The residual GBs caused by insufficient calcination time, dramatically exacerbate the cathode’s chemo-mechanical instability and cycling performance. Our work offers important guidance for the next-generation cathodes for long-life LIBs.

Direct electrode-to-electrode regeneration of end-of-life batteries via electrode–electrolyte interphase dissolution

Lithium-ion battery recycling remains constrained by processes that recover metals at the expense of electrode integrity, while even direct recycling typically requires shredding to black mass followed by binder removal, separation, and full electrode refabrication. Here, we introduce direct electrode-to-electrode regeneration (DEER), a simultaneous electrochemical regeneration of used NMC and graphite electrodes from end-of-life batteries in their intact form by dissolving the passivating electrode–electrolyte interphase (EEI). DEER employs 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI), a high donor number solvent that creates a thermodynamic environment favorable for solubilizing redox inactive EEI components. DEER dissolves the thick EEI on both used electrodes while preserving electrode integrity, enabling up to 95% capacity regain and improved cycling stability with a residual LiF-rich interphase. Operando Raman, operando IR, and post-mortem NMR directly track the electrochemically driven dissolution of carbonate-derived EEI species in the used DMI-based recycling electrolyte. Technoeconomic and life-cycle analyses show that DEER reduces the cost of recycled cell manufacturing by 56% relative to pyro- and hydrometallurgy, while lowering energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, DEER establishes the first validated pathway to directly regenerate and reuse electrodes harvested from truly end-of-life batteries, converting the key interfacial bottleneck into a controllable dissolution process and opening a practical route toward electrode level circularity.

Progressive growth of the solid–electrolyte interphase towards the Si anode interior causes capacity fading

The solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI), a layer formed on the electrode surface, is essential for electrochemical reactions in batteries and critically governs the battery stability. Active materials, especially those with extremely high energy density, such as silicon (Si), often inevitably undergo a large volume swing upon ion insertion and extraction, raising a critical question as to how the SEI interactively responds to and evolves with the material and consequently controls the cycling stability of the battery. Here, by integrating sensitive elemental tomography, an advanced algorithm and cryogenic scanning transmission electron microscopy, we unveil, in three dimensions, a correlated structural and chemical evolution of Si and SEI. Furthermore, corroborated with a chemomechanical model, we demonstrate progressive electrolyte permeation and SEI growth along the percolation channel of the nanovoids due to vacancy injection and condensation during the delithiation process. Consequently, the Si–SEI spatial configuration evolves from the classic ‘core–shell’ structure in the first few cycles to a ‘plum-pudding’ structure following extended cycling, featuring the engulfing of Si domains by the SEI, which leads to the disruption of electron conduction pathways and formation of dead Si, contributing to capacity loss. The spatially coupled interactive evolution model of SEI and active materials, in principle, applies to a broad class of high-capacity electrode materials, leading to a critical insight for remedying the fading of high-capacity electrodes.
