Investigating the impact of preparation routes on the properties of copper-decorated silicon particles as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries

In recent years, the calendar life of Si has been recognized as a significant issue that must be addressed prior to technology deployment: The carbon conductive additive is a potential source of parasitic side reactions. However, carbon remains essential due to the low electronic conductivity of Si. In this study, we investigate the use of Cu as a conductive additive and potential alternative to carbon. Some Cu-decorated silicon particles (Si Cu ) were prepared using physical vapor deposition (PVD) via sputtering and high-energy milling. Other Si Cu particles were prepared by using a solution method and examined briefly. The milling method caused Cu to appear as island-like features on the Si surface, whereas the PVD method initially produced similar island-like features that gradually developed into a continuous coating around the Si as sputtering time increased. Electrodes fabricated from Si Cu exhibited lower overall resistivity, demonstrating the beneficial effect of Cu in improving electronic percolation through the electrode. Electrochemical tests showed that the milled SiCu exhibited higher capacity retention, improved rate capability, and lower overpotential. Furthermore, Si Cu coupled with an NMC811 cathode exhibited lower leakage currents compared with the baseline silicon, indicating that incorporating Cu provided an additional advantage of minimizing parasitic currents in the cells.

Cobalt Metal–Cobalt Carbide Composite Microspheres for Water Reduction Electrocatalysis

Microspheres of cobalt metal–cobalt carbide (Co–Co x C, Co x C: Co 2 C and Co 3 C) composite with carbon shells were prepared via an OH – - and Cl – -assisted polyol method and explored for electrocatalytic activity and stability for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic media. From our transmission electron microscopy observations, the outermost surfaces of the as-prepared Co–Co x C composites were primarily covered with Co 2 C crystallites. Our best performing electrocatalyst exhibited superior HER activity with an overpotential of 78 mV to reach a current density of -10 mA·cm –2 , a Tafel slope of 87.8 mV·dec –1 , and 1 h of electrode durability. We show that this excellent HER performance is primarily due to the superior intrinsic activity of Co 2 C, as well as the high electrical conductivity resulting from the inclusion of cobalt metal and the presence of graphitic carbon shells in and on the composite, respectively. Using both computational and experimental approaches, we determine here that the carbon-rich cobalt carbide (Co 2 C) phase is more favorable for the HER than the carbon-poor phase (Co 3 C).

Electrostatic‐Attraction‐Driven Self‐Assembled Graphene‐Disordered Rocksalt Composite Cathode for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Disordered rocksalt cathodes hold promise for achieving high-capacity lithium-ion batteries while using low-cost, earth-abundant elements. However, their electrochemical performance remains critically limited by their poor electronic conductivity. Conventional strategies such as high-energy ball milling with excess carbon additives can improve conductivity but remain challenging to scale and often produce defects and increase surface area, thereby accelerating capacity degradation. Herein, we report an alternative approach of electrostatic-attraction-driven self-assembly to fabricate Li 1.2 Mn 0.6 Ti 0.2 O 1.8 F 0.2 (LMTOF) particles uniformly wrapped with electronically conductive graphene sheets without associated materials degradation. The graphene-wrapped LMTOF demonstrates significantly improved cycling stability (89% capacity retention after 100 cycles) and superior rate capability compared with an LMTOF-carbon composite electrode fabricated using the conventional high-energy ball-milling process. Post-cycling analysis reveals reduced oxygen evolution, suppressed unwanted side reactions, and improved structural integrity for the graphene-LMTOF composite. This work highlights the advantages of solution-based carbon wrapping and offers a scalable strategy to prepare high-performance DRX cathodes for lithium-ion batteries.

Phase-Selective Epitaxial Growth of Heterophase Nanostructures on Unconventional 2H-Pd Nanoparticles

Heterostructured, including heterophase, noble-metal nanomaterials have attracted much interest due to their promising applications in diverse fields. However, great challenges still remain in the rational synthesis of well-defined noble-metal heterophase nanostructures. Furthermore, we report the preparation of Pd nanoparticles with an unconventional hexagonal close-packed (2H type) phase, referred to as 2H-Pd nanoparticles, via a controlled phase transformation of amorphous Pd nanoparticles. Impressively, by using the 2H-Pd nanoparticles as seeds, Au nanomaterials with different crystal phases epitaxially grow on the specific exposed facets of the 2H-Pd, i.e., face-centered cubic (fcc) Au (fcc-Au) on the (002)h facets of 2H-Pd while 2H-Au on the other exposed facets, to achieve well-defined fcc-2H-fcc heterophase Pd@Au core–shell nanorods. Moreover, through such unique facet-directed crystal-phase-selective epitaxial growth, a series of unconventional fcc-2H-fcc heterophase core–shell nanostructures, including Pd@Ag, Pd@Pt, Pd@PtNi, and Pd@PtCo, have also been prepared. Impressively, the fcc-2H-fcc heterophase Pd@Au nanorods show excellent performance toward the electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) for production of carbon monoxide with Faradaic efficiencies of over 90% in an exceptionally wide applied potential window from –0.9 to –0.4 V (versus the reversible hydrogen electrode), which is among the best reported CO 2 RR catalysts in H-type electrochemical cells.

Cu and Ni Co-sputtered heteroatomic thin film for enhanced nonenzymatic glucose detection

Abstract In this work, we report a wafer-scale and chemical-free fabrication of nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) heteroatomic Cu–Ni thin films using RF magnetron sputtering technique for non-enzymatic glucose sensing application. The as-prepared wafer-scale Cu–Ni thin films exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity toward glucose oxidation with a 1.86 μM detection limit in the range of 0.01 mM to 20 mM range. The Cu–Ni film shows 1.3- and 5.4-times higher glucose oxidation activity in comparison to the Cu and Ni electrodes, respectively. The improved electrocatalytic activity is attributed to the synergistic effect of the bimetallic catalyst and high density of grain boundaries. The Cu–Ni electrodes also possessed excellent anti-interference characteristics. These results indicate that Cu–Ni heteroatomic thin film can be a potential candidate for the development of non-enzymatic glucose biosensor because of its chemical free synthesis, excellent reproducibility, reusability, and long-term stability.

Mesoporous PdAg Nanospheres for Stable Electrochemical CO 2 Reduction to Formate

Palladium is a promising material for electrochemical CO 2 reduction to formate with high Faradaic efficiency near the equilibrium potential. It unfortunately suffers from problematic operation stability due to CO poisoning on surface. In this work, it is demonstrated that alloying is an effective strategy to alleviate this problem. Mesoporous PdAg nanospheres with uniform size and composition are prepared from the co-reduction of palladium and silver precursors in aqueous solution using dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride as the structure-directing agent. The best candidate can initiate CO 2 reduction at zero overpotential and achieve high formate selectivity close to 100% and great stability even at <-0.2 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. The high selectivity and stability are believed to result from the electronic coupling between Pd and Ag, which lowers the d-band center of Pd and thereby significantly enhances its CO tolerance, as evidenced by both electrochemical analysis and theoretical simulations.

Light-Controlled Nanoparticle Collision Experiments

Electrochemical monitoring of catalytically amplified collisions of individual metal nanoparticles (NP) with ultramicroelectrodes (UME) has been extensively used to study electrocatalysis, mass-transport, and charge-transfer processes at the single NP level. More recently, photoelectrochemical collision experiments were carried out with semiconductive NPs. Here we introduce two new types of light-controlled nano-impact experiments. The first experiment involves localized photodeposition of catalyst (Pt) on TiO 2 NPs with a glass-sheathed carbon fiber simultaneously serving as the light guide and collector UME. The collisions of in situ prepared Pt@TiO 2 NPs with the carbon surface produced blips of water oxidation current, while the activity of pristine TiO 2 NPs was too low to yield measurable signal. In another experiment, collisions of catalytic (Ir oxide) NPs with the semiconductor (Nb doped n-type TiO 2 rutile single crystal) electrode are monitored by measuring the photocurrent of water oxidation.

Bismuth Subcarbonate Decorated Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite for the Sensitive Stripping Voltammetry Analysis of Pb(II) and Cd(II) in Water

In this paper, bismuth subcarbonate (BiO)2CO3-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite incorporated in Nafion matrix ((BiO)2CO3-rGO-Nafion) was synthesized and further applied, for the first time, in the sensitive detection of Pb(II) and Cd(II) by square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). The as-synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). (BiO)2CO3 composite plays a key role in the improvement of the detection sensitivity, which can form multicomponent alloy with cadmium and lead. Additionally, the unique structure of rGO can enlarge the surface area and provide abundant active sites. Moreover, Nafion incorporation in the nanocomposite can effectively increase the adhesion and mechanical strength of the film, and further improve the preconcetration ability due to the cation-exchange capacity of its abundant sulfonate groups. As expected, the (BiO)2CO3-rGO/Nafion nanocomposite-modified glassy carbon electrode ((BiO)2CO3-rGO-Nafion/GCE) achieved low detection limits of 0.24 μg/L for Pb(II) and 0.16 μg/L for Cd(II), in the linear range of 1.0–60 μg/L, and showed some excellent performance, such as high stability, good selectivity, and sensitivity. Finally, synthetic water samples were prepared and further used to verify the practicability of the (BiO)2CO3-rGO-Nafion/GCE with satisfactory results.

Unsupported and carbon-supported silver catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media

Quick and easy Ag catalysts preparation via wet chemical synthesis method using only reducing agent (pure-Ag); reducing agent and citric acid as the capping agent (Ag-CA); and carbon support (KetjenBlack 600J), capping agent, and the reducing agent (Ag/C) is demonstrated. The Ag-based electrocatalysts are characterized by high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrocatalytic activity of Ag catalysts for O 2 reduction reaction (ORR) in 1 M KOH is evaluated using the rotating (ring)-disc electrode method. SEM and HAADF-STEM results show that the unsupported pure-Ag and Ag-CA catalysts consist mainly of big agglomerates, and Ag/C has the smallest agglomerates and some sub-3 nm Ag nanoparticles. The XPS results reveal that Ag in all the catalysts is in the metallic form (Ag 0 ). Despite consisting of big agglomerates, the Ag-CA catalyst exhibits similar ORR electrocatalytic activity to that of Ag/C. Ag-CA (unsupported) shows the lowest hydrogen peroxide yield. These results are of great importance for the development of Ag-based catalysts that can be prepared in a fast, simple and easily up scalable fashion, for anion exchange membrane fuel cells.

An electrochemical rebalance cell for Redox systems

An electrochemical rebalance cell for maintaining electrochemical balance, at the system level, of the acidified aqueous iron chloride and chromium chloride reactant solutions in the redox energy storage system was constructed and evaluated. The electrochemical reaction for the cathode is Fe(+3) + e(-) yields Fe(+2), and that for the anode is 1/2H2 yields H(+) + e(-). The iron (carbon felt) electrode and the hydrogen (platinized carbon) electrode are separated by an anion exchange membrane. The performance of the rebalance cell is discussed as well as the assembly of a single rebalance cell and multicell stacks. Various cell configurations were tested and the results are presented and discussed. The rebalance cell was also used to demonstrate its ability, as a preparative tool, for making high purity solutions of soluble reduced metal ionic species. Preparations of titanium, copper, vanadium and chromium ions in acidified solutions were evaluated.

Study of palladium plating components

Palladium deposits were prepared by electrolysis for evaluation as catalytic materials. Electrolysis was carried out in acidic solutions consisting of either 1.0 M in NaCl and 0.01 M PdCl2 or 1.0 M NaCl and 0.04 M PdCl2. It was during the preparation of the palladium deposits that unexpected observations were made that led to the request for analytical services. The analyses did not, nor were they intended to, answer all of the questions. They did, however, shed light on the nature and magnitude of some of the contaminants in the solutions and in the palladium electrodes, as well as characterize the forms of the palladium deposits. Results of analyses are grouped into solution, deposit, and electrode categories for comparison purposes.

LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 Thin Films Prepared by Polymer-Assisted Deposition for the Study of Cathode-Electrolyte Interphases in Lithium-Ion Batteries

High-nickel layered oxide cathodes such as LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) are critical for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their superior energy density and reduced reliance on cobalt. However, many Ni-rich cathodes suffer from rapid capacity fade and structural instability originating from complex interfacial reactions at the cathode-electrolyte interface. Traditional composite electrodes exhibit degradation mechanisms that are challenging to quantitatively understand due to additives, including binders and carbon black. In this study, we demonstrate a new synthesis approach for binder- and additive-free NMC811 thin films using polymer-assisted deposition (PAD). PAD-NMC811 are model thin-film cathodes for investigating interfacial phenomena that can be obscured in composite cathodes. Structural and chemical characterization by X-ray diffraction, soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy show that PAD-NMC811 films possess high phase purity, crystallinity, chemical homogeneity, and morphological uniformity. Electrochemical analyses using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic cycling revealed electrochemical behavior consistent with that of composite electrodes, along with a moderate capacity fade indicative of cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) formation. Our findings illustrate the effectiveness of PAD synthesis of thin films tailored for detailed mechanistic studies, which offer critical insights into CEI evolution and cathode degradation pathways.

Amino Acid Sequence Controls Enhanced Electron Transport in Heme-Binding Peptide Monolayers

Metal-binding proteins have the exceptional ability to facilitate long-range electron transport in nature. Despite recent progress, the sequence-structure–function relationships governing electron transport in heme-binding peptides and protein assemblies are not yet fully understood. In this work, the electronic properties of a series of heme-binding peptides inspired by cytochrome bc1 are studied using a combination of molecular electronics experiments, molecular modeling, and simulation. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are prepared using sequence-defined heme-binding peptides capable of forming helical secondary structures. Following monolayer formation, the structural properties and chemical composition of assembled peptides are determined using atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the electronic properties (current density–voltage response) are characterized using a soft contact liquid metal electrode method based on eutectic gallium–indium alloys (EGaIn). Our results show a substantial 1000-fold increase in current density across SAM junctions upon addition of heme compared to identical peptide sequences in the absence of heme, while maintaining a constant junction thickness. These findings show that amino acid composition and sequence directly control enhancements in electron transport in heme-binding peptides. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of using sequence-defined synthetic peptides inspired by nature as functional bioelectronic materials.

Direct Nano‐Synthesis Methods Notably Benefit Mg‐Battery Cathode Performance

Abstract Rechargeable magnesium batteries are promising candidates for next‐generation electrochemical energy storage, but their development is severely hindered by sluggish solid‐state diffusion and significant desolvation penalties of the divalent cation. Studies suggest that nano‐sized electrode materials alleviate these issues by shortening diffusion lengths and increasing electrode/electrolyte interaction. Here, the effect of particle size and synthetic methodology on the electrochemical performance of four sulfide cathode materials in Mg batteries is investigated: layered TiS 2 , CuS, spinel Ti 2 S 4 , and CuCo 2 S 4 . In these sulfide hosts, the direct preparation of nano‐dimensional crystallites is critical to activate or improve electrochemistry. Even promising cathode materials can appear electrochemically inert when micron‐sized particles are investigated (e.g., CuCo 2 S 4 ), and mechanical milling leads to surface degradation of active material which severely limits performance. However, nano‐sized CuCo 2 S 4 prepared directly reaches a capacity nearly double that of ball‐milled material and delivers 350 mAh g −1 at 60 °C. This work provides synthetic considerations which may be crucial in the discovery and design of novel Mg cathode materials, so that promising candidates are not overlooked. By extension, in oxide materials where Mg 2+ diffusion is expected to be much more sluggish, this factor is anticipated to be even more important when screening for new hosts.

Highly Loaded Sulfur Cathode, Coated Separator and Gel Electrolyte for High Rate Li-Sulfur Batteries

As one of DOE Battery 500 Seedling projects, Cornell University and EIC Labs investigated and developed i) highly loaded sulfur cathodes (> 3 mg/cm 2 ), ii) hybrid separators, and iii) gel ceramic electrolytes (GCE) to mitigate the low rate capability, shuttling effect and limited cycle life in high performance Li-Sulfur batteries. Scalable nanomanufacturing processes such as air-controlled electrospray (ACES) and gas-assisted electrospinning (GAES) have been utilized to develop directly deposited electrodes and polymer/ceramic hybrid separators. First, in the development of highly loaded cathodes, alternating layers of sulfur impregnated mesoporous carbon and graphene were fabricated via ACES and the resulting layered cathodes and coated separators exhibit higher capacity and capacity retention (about 1,000 mAh/g capacity with less than 0.02% fade/cycles) than single layer cathode or cathode prepared by conventional slurry cast. Alternating layer approach via ACES has been applied to high loading systems (3 - 5 mg S/cm 2 ), demonstrating the potential to increase sulfur utilization and capacity retention. We have also incorporated iron oxides (Fe 3 O 4 ) into S/mesoporous carbon/graphene cathodes to enhance sulfur utilization and mitigation of polysulfide shuttling. and the effect of Fe 3 O 4 in mesoporous carbon and Gr is highly pronounced at high C rates of 1C and 2C cycling performance. To further improve the cathodes at high rates, graphene nanoribbons (GNR) which can promote ion transport were incorporated in the cathode, resulting in 550 mAh/g at 5C/5C rates. Hybrid Li-ion/Li-S cathodes has also been explored to better engage unreacted polysulfides during charge/discharge. S/LFP hybrid cathodes offer higher sulfur utilization and enhanced rate capability, as well as higher areal loading. This study suggests inclusion of iron phosphide (Fe2P) which can chemically interact with polysulfides can further enhance sulfur utilization and mitigation of soluble polysulfides at high rates. Secondly, in the development of hybrid separators, we first employed graphene coating on the commercial polyolefin separators, which exhibits higher capability, better capacity retention and enhanced rate capability. To improve the rate capability with enhanced safety features such as thermal stability and nonflammability, we developed polymer/ceramic hybrids based on thermally stable polyimide (PI) and room temperature curable ceramic precursors such as organopolysilazane (OPSZ) or polysilsesquioxanes (PSSQ), which exhibit no shrinkages up to 300 ºC and non-flammability. To improve mechanical properties and electrochemical stability, polybenzimidazole (PBI) and alumina have been incorporated in polymer/ceramic hybrid separator, replacing PI and OPSZ/PSSQ, respectively. Finally, the gel ceramic electrolyte (GCE) based on ceramic cross linkers have been applied to make Li-S cells even safer and also to mitigate the polysulfide shuttling further. The resulting gel ceramic electrolyte offers improved capacity retention and rate capability, and also effectively mitigates polysulfide shuttling which was also confirmed by modeling. Inclusion of high ion conducting additives into GCE together with polymer/ceramic hybrid separators exhibit the higher ionic conductivity than liquid electrolyte with commercial polyolefin separator. We demonstrated that the developed highly loaded sulfur cathodes, polymer/ceramic hybrid separators and gel ceramic electrolyte can effectively mitigate the low rate capability, shuttling effect and limited cycle life in high performance Li-Sulfur batteries with improved safety.

Influence of Ink Formulation and Drying Conditions on Ionomer Distribution in High-Performance Roll-to-Roll-Coated Gas-Diffusion Electrodes

To enable mass production of fuel cell membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) catalyst layers production will require continuous roll-to-roll (R2R) coating processes. Gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) are advantageous for mass production because the catalyst layer can be directely coated on the microporous layer of the gas diffusion media without the need for a decal-transfer process. It is known that the water-to-alcohol ratio in the catalyst ink influences the interactions of the ionomer with the catalyst leading to different distributions of ionomer in spray-coated catalyst layers. It is also known that during drying of colloidal mixtures, like fuel cell inks, factors such as drying rate, particle size, and agglomeration influence how the materials distribute themselves throughout the thickness of the dired film. Thus far there have only been limited studies to understand how process conditions such as ink formulation and drying temperature influence the distribution of ionomer and catalyst coated using scalable methods. This understanding is especially important for GDEs since it is known that having a sufficient amount of ionomer at the catalyst layer-membrane interface is critical for high performance. In this study we have focused on determining how the ratio of water to 1-propanol in the catalyst ink ink and drying temperature influence the distribution of ionomer throughout the thickness of the catalyst layer. Using a combination of Kelvin probe and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy we show that an ionomer-rich surface is promoted by a higher drying rate and a water-rich catalyst ink. In contrast, a 1-propanol catalyst ink leads to a lower concentration of ionomer on the top surface. Using x-ray computed tomography, we are able to characterize the ionomer distribution throughout the thickness of the layer. We find that, in addition to promoting an ionomer-rich top surface, water-rich inks lead to a more homogenous distribution of ionomer, whereas a 1-propanol-rich ink leads to a more irregular distribution. It is found that MEA performance is improved by selecting conditions and ink formulations that promote ionomer enrichment at the top surface to facilitate a good interface with the membrane. MEAs prepared with a 75 wt% water catalyst ink with a 0.9 I/C have equivalent performance to spray-coated GDEs. Critically, these R2R-coated GDEs do not need an additional ionomer overlayer like the spray-coated GDEs do, reducing the number of processing steps in a manufacturing setting. This work shows that with the appropriate selection of materials, ink formulation, and processing conditions gas-diffusion electrodes are a viable pathway for fuel cell manufacturing.

The NASA GSFC MEMS Colloidal Thruster

A number of upcoming missions require different thrust levels on the same spacecraft. A highly scaleable and efficient propulsion system would allow substantial mass savings. One type of thruster that can throttle from high to low thrust while maintaining a high specific impulse is a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) colloidal thruster. The NASA GSFC MEMS colloidal thruster has solved the problem of electrical breakdown to permit the integration of the electrode on top of the emitter by a novel MEMS fabrication technique. Devices have been successfully fabricated and the insulation properties have been tested to show they can support the required electric field. A computational finite element model was created and used to verify the voltage required to successfully operate the thruster. An experimental setup has been prepared to test the devices with both optical and Time-Of-Flight diagnostics.
