Lithium Storage Mechanisms and Electrochemical Behavior of a Molybdenum Disulfide Nanoparticle Anode

This study investigates the electrochemical behavior of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) as an anode in Li-ion batteries, focusing on the extra capacity phenomenon. Employing advanced characterization methods such as in situ and ex situ X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, the research unravels the complex structural and chemical evolution of MoS 2 throughout its cycling. A key discovery is the identification of a unique Li intercalation mechanism in MoS 2 , leading to the formation of reversible Li x MoS 2 phases that contribute to the extra capacity of the MoS 2 electrode. Density function theory calculations suggest the potential for overlithiation in MoS 2 , predicting Li 5 MoS 2 as the most energetically favorable phase within the lithiation–delithiation process. Additionally, the formation of a Li-rich phase on the surface of Li 4 MoS 2 is considered energetically advantageous. After the first discharge, the battery system engages in two main reactions. One involves operation as a Li-sulfur battery within the carbonate electrolyte, and the other is the reversible intercalation and deintercalation of Li in Li x MoS 2 . The latter reaction contributes to the extra capacity of the battery. The incorporation of reduced graphene oxide as a conductive additive in MoS 2 electrodes notably improves their rate capability and cycling stability.

Vanadium and Niobium MXenes—Bilayered V 2 O 5 Asymmetric Supercapacitors

MXenes offer high metallic conductivity and redox capacitance that are attractive for high-power, high-energy storage devices. However, they operate limitedly under high anodic potentials due to irreversible oxidation. Pairing them with oxides to design asymmetric supercapacitors may expand the voltage window and increase the energy storage capabilities. Hydrated lithium preintercalated bilayered V 2 O 5 ( δ-Li x V 2 O 5 ·nH 2 O) is attractive for aqueous energy storage due to its high Li capacity at high potentials; however, its poor cyclability remains a challenge. To overcome its limitations and achieve a wide voltage window and excellent cyclability, it is combined with V 2 C and Nb 4 C 3 MXenes. Asymmetric supercapacitors employing lithium intercalated V 2 C (Li-V 2 C) or tetramethylammonium intercalated Nb 4 C 3 (TMA-Nb 4 C 3 ) MXenes as the negative electrode, and a δ-Li x V 2 O 5 ·nH 2 O composite with carbon nanotubes as the positive electrode in 5 m LiCl electrolyte operate over wide voltage windows of 2 and 1.6 V, respectively. The latter shows remarkably high cyclability—capacitance retention of ≈95% after 10 000 cycles. Here, this work highlights the importance of selecting appropriate MXenes to achieve a wide voltage window and a long cycle life in combination with oxide anodes to demonstrate the potential of MXenes beyond Ti 3 C 2 in energy storage.

Microstructure and defect engineering of graphite anodes by pulsed laser annealing for enhanced performance of lithium-ion batteries

We report nanosecond pulsed laser annealing significantly improves cyclability and current carrying capacity of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). This improvement is achieved by engineering of microstructure and defect contents present in graphite in a controlled way by using pulsed laser annealing (PLA) to increase the number density of Li + ion trapping sites. The PLA treatment causes the following changes: (1) creates surface steps and grooves between the grains to improve Li + ion charging and intercalation rates; (2) removes inactive polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) binder from the top of graphite grains and between the grains which otherwise tends to block the Li + migration; and (3) produces carbon vacancies in (0001) planes which can provide Li + charging sites. From X-ray diffraction data, we find upshift in diffraction peak or reduction in planar spacing, from which vacancy concentration was estimated to be about 1.0%, which is higher than the thermodynamic equilibrium concentration of vacancies. The laser treatment creates single and multiple C vacancies which provide sites for Li + ions, and it also produces steps and grooves for Li + ions to enter the intercalating sites. It is envisaged that the formation of these sites enhances Li+ ion absorption during charge and discharge cycles. The current capacity increases from an average 360 mAh/g to 430 mAh/g, and C–V shows significant reduction in SEI layer formation after the laser treatment. If the vacancy concentration is too high and charge-discharge cycles are long, then trapping of electrons by Li + may occur, which can lead to Li 0 formation and Li plating causing reduction in current capacity.

Cyclic moisture reactivation of calcium sorbents for long duration thermochemical energy storage

The transition to a flexible and reliable energy infrastructure, using electro-thermal energy generation technologies such as geothermal, concentrated solar power, and nuclear, usually demands simultaneous advancement of thermal energy storage (TES) to support on-demand electricity generation and industrial applications while mitigating the inherent intermittency of renewable energy sources and power outages from direct energy generation. Among TES technologies, thermochemical energy storage (TCES) based on calcium looping emerges as a compelling high-power energy storage candidate due to its high reaction enthalpy, compatibility with elevated operating temperatures, and abundance of low-cost materials. However, the long-term durability of calcium-based sorbents for TCES is hindered by surface sintering and particle aggregation, leading to performance degradation over repeated thermal cycles. This study explores a moisture hydration-based strategy to regenerate a degraded calcium sorbent and mitigate performance degradation for long duration TCES. The addition of moisture transforms calcium oxide into calcium hydroxide and produces intercalation water layers, associated with a regenerated surface area and reduced calcium oxide crystallite size. Both these effects are beneficial in restoring the sorbents' reactivity for carbonization. Additionally, an optimized hydration-assisted reactivation protocol balances the recovered energy storage capacity with heating penalty required for moisture removal from hydrated samples, resulting in an enhanced energy storage capacity up to 176% compared to benchmark sorbents that undergo cycling without reactivation after 60 cycles. In conclusion, these results highlight the potential of hydration-assisted reactivation to enhance the long-term performance of TCES, providing an effective pathway to advancing electro-thermal storage technologies.

Sequestration and release of nitrite and nitrate in alkali-activated slag: A route toward smart corrosion control

Intercalating the corrosion inhibitive ions in hydrotalcite is a promising approach to improve the long-term efficiency of inhibitors in corrosion protection of steel in reinforced concrete. In this work, the potential of autogenously generating nitrite- and nitrate-intercalated hydrotalcite in alkali-activated slag (AAS) is investigated. The results show that the added nitrite and nitrate ions are preferably uptaken in the interlayer structure of hydrotalcite in AAS, and the sequestered nitrite and nitrate are released upon chloride exposure in seawater and NaCl solution. The incorporation of nitrite and nitrate has little detrimental effects on the chloride binding capacity of AAS but slightly enhances the chloride ingress due to the pore coarsening effect. Similar to ordinary Portland cement (OPC), AAS is more permeable to the chloride in seawater than NaCl solution. However, unlike the release of bound chloride contributed by ettringite formation in seawater-exposed OPC, the enhanced chloride ingress in seawater-exposed AAS is primarily attributed to the aggravated pH reduction at the exposure front due to brucite formation. This study contributes to the design of alkali-activated binders with a smart inhibitor releasing ability for mitigating corrosion of steel in concrete.

Specific molecular design of polycarboxylate polymers exhibiting optimal compatibility with clay contaminants in concrete

Highlights: • Allyl ether-based PCEs with short side chain length and low side chain density presented superior clay resistance. • PCEs with medium side chain density exhibited best clay robustness when compared at the absolute dosed quantities. • The proportion of PCE being intercalated into the layered structure of clay was quantified. It is widely recognized that the dispersing ability of polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCEs) could be hindered due to the presence of clay contaminants in concrete. In this study, a series of allyl ether-based polycarboxylate superplasticizers possessing short polyethylene glycol side chains was successfully synthesized and probed for their clay tolerance. The resulting PCE polymers were characterized via Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) to obtain their molecular properties. Thereafter, their dispersing ability was probed in the absence and presence of sodium bentonite. Allyl ether-based polycarboxylate (APEG) polymers possessing short side chains were found to exhibit enhanced clay resistance as compared to that of conventional MPEG PCEs holding long pendant chains. The mode of interaction between APEG PCEs and bentonite was investigated via sorption and XRD measurements. The data revealed that APEG PCEs possessing a lower side chain density intercalate less into the interlayer space of bentonite than those exhibiting higher side chain density.

Performance and lifetime of intercalative water deionization cells for mono- and divalent ion removal

We report intercalative deionization (IDI) uses two cation intercalation electrodes separated by an anion exchange membrane in a symmetric cell design that has the potential to deliver electrochemically desalinated water in an energy- and water-efficient way. Here, we define and measure metrics to describe the performance and lifetime of IDI cells and compare them for NaCl and CaCl 2 feed solutions. With 20 mM NaCl, NiHCF/AEM/NiHCF flow cells achieve 10 mM average concentration change at a productivity of 20 l/h/m 2 and 5 mM average concentration change at 130 l/h/m 2 . In both cases the cells are operated at a 3C current rate and consume ~30 Wh/m 3 of energy. With 10 mM CaCl 2 , the specific capacity and salt removal of IDI flow cells is ~4 times lower. NiHCF/NiHCF beaker cells with CaCl 2 electrolyte suffer from strong capacity fade, while the same cells with NaCl electrolyte achieve 500 cycles without any capacity fade. Our post-mortem analysis using X-ray diffraction, secondary electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy and micro X-ray fluorescence mapping reveals that NiHCF dissolves upon repeated intercalation with Ca 2+ , releasing residual K + , Ni 2+ and Fe(CN) 6 3 , which precipitates as a crystalline decomposition product on the electrodes. This side reaction deprives the active material NiHCF of charge compensating Fe, and thus accounts for the observed capacity fade.

Consequences of plane-strain and plane-stress assumptions in fully coupled chemo-mechanical Li-ion battery models

In Li-ion battery research, it is common to simulate chemo-mechanical phenomena in reduced dimensions (e.g., 2-D) as opposed to fully resolve these complex physics in 3-D. It is common to assume either (1) the out-of-plane strain is negligible (commonly referred to as plane-strain), or (2) the out-of-plane stress is negligible (commonly referred to as plane-stress). However, there is typically little consideration as to the quantitative consequences of these approximations. Furthermore, the influence of these out-of-plane assumptions can be compounded and convoluted when chemo-mechanics models implement so-called “fully coupled” formulations, where the local species concentrations influence the stress-state and the stress-state influences the local species fluxes. Here, the present manuscript explores the implications of using plane-stress and plane-strain assumptions in 2-D as compared to simulating a full 3-D electrode particle. This comparative study includes simulating both isotropic and anisotropic particle intercalation where the particles can be surrounded by either a liquid or solid electrolyte. Additionally, common Li-ion battery-model metrics such as the state-of-stress, intercalation fraction distribution, and specific capacity are compared, while also considering the effects of particle size and C-rate. As alternatives to the pure plane-strain and plane stress approximations, two modified plane-strain assumptions are found to better approximate the fully coupled chemo-mechanical 3-D behavior.

Structural and magnetic properties of hard magnetic system Ce(Co 1 -Fe ) 4.4 Cu 0.6 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.19)

The Ce(Co 1 -Fe ) 4.4 Cu 0.6 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.19) is a composite, hard magnetic system that is based on the CaCu 5 -type structure (1:5). It shows both, unique magnetic and microstructural features that are essential for permanent magnets, e.g., exceptional squareness of the 2nd. quadrant of the magnetization loops and microstructural features typically needed for pinning. Samples solidified in alumina crucibles are coarse-grained and often clearly faceted and readily align in a magnetic field. X-ray, SEM, and TEM analyses show a 1:5-type single-phase material when quenched from high temperature, which, after heat treatment, transforms into a laminar coherent nanostructure through the formation of a dense array of extended intercalated regions. Furthermore, these extended intercalated regions are comprised of segments of the Ce 2 Ni 7 –type structure (2:7) which segregate into various closely related precipitates forming a nanostructure similar to the SmCo 5 - Sm 2 Co 17 composites seen in Sm-Co permanent magnets. Based on TEM and Lorentz microscopy of well-aligned single grain particles, the magnetic domains’ reversal mechanism is regulated by anisotropy fluctuations occurring along the easy direction of magnetization and strong exchange interactions between the matrix and defects (e.g.: stacking faults). Lorentz microscopy suggests the domain wall is not physically pinned by the defect, but rather is offset/deflected when it interacts with the defect. The Lorentz and magnetization data suggest that defects cause a bending of the moment away from the c axis inside the grains.

Lithium-ion battery physics and statistics-based state of health model

A pseudo-2d model using COMSOL Multiphysics® software is developed to simulate performance and performance degradation of Li-ion batteries consisting of layered and olivine cathodes with graphite anode when subjected to peak shaving grid service. Multiple degradation pathways are considered, including solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation and breakdown at the anode, cathode dissolution and its synergistic effect on SEI formation at the anode. The model is validated by simulating commercial cylindrical cell performance. A global model is developed to simulate performance across all chemistries, along with individual chemistry models using global model parameters as initial values. There is good agreement between these models for various optimization parameters such as SEI equilibrium potential, cathode dissolution exchange current density, solvent diffusivity in the SEI and SEI ionic conductivity. To circumvent time constraints related to the COMSOL model, a 0d global model is developed which fits data well and provides more clarity on differences in cathode dissolution exchange current density. Again, good agreement for various optimization parameters is obtained among the COMSOL global & individual chemistry models and the 0-d model. The lessons learned from the physics-based model is used to develop a top down statistics-based model using current, voltage and anode volumetric change per mole lithium intercalated, along with their interactions as degradation predictors. This model predicts out of sample degradation for multiple grid services and electric vehicle drive cycle with high accuracy and provides the pathway to develop an efficient battery management system combining machine learning and findings from physics-based computationally intensive algorithms.

Revealing causes of macroscale heterogeneity in lithium ion pouch cells via synchrotron X-ray diffraction

Heterogeneous battery performance is a critical issue for maximization of cell lifetime capacity and safety. Using high energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction, the influence of charge rate, voltage limit, uneven stack pressure, and gas generation on the lithium transport properties was quantified in single-layer graphite/LiNi 0.5 Mn 0.3 Co 0.2 O 2 pouch cells. A freshly formatted cell tracked in operando during initial fast charge cycles indicated variable position-dependent performances, while lateral mapping showed a significant fast charge (6C) heterogeneity compared to slow charge (C/2). Pressure effects were non-dominant compared to charge rate. Maps of previously aged and rested cells indicate that lateral heterogeneity slowly equilibrates at rest, but regenerates upon further cycling at fast charge rate. Furthermore, an unformatted cell was mapped at charge and discharge during its first formation cycle to analyze the effect of byproduct gases on the heterogeneous lithium transport. Gas was observed as randomly interspersed “bubbles” which locally hindered lithium intercalation and caused significant heterogeneity. Electrode architectures and charging protocols that promote homogeneous intercalation are critical for predictable high-performance and long-life batteries.

A pseudo-two-dimensional (P2D) model for FeS 2 conversion cathode batteries

Conversion cathode materials are gaining interest for secondary batteries due to their high theoretical energy and power density. However, practical application as a secondary battery material is currently limited by practical issues such as poor cyclability. To better understand these materials, we have, for this study, developed a pseudo-two-dimensional model for conversion cathodes. We apply this model to FeS 2 – a material that undergoes intercalation followed by conversion during discharge. The model is derived from the half-cell Doyle–Fuller–Newman model with additional loss terms added to reflect the converted shell resistance as the reaction progresses. We also account for polydisperse active material particles by incorporating a variable active surface area and effective particle radius. Using the model, we show that the leading loss mechanisms for FeS 2 are associated with solid-state diffusion and electrical transport limitations through the converted shell material. The polydisperse simulations are also compared to a monodisperse system, and we show that polydispersity has very little effect on the intercalation behavior yet leads to capacity loss during the conversion reaction. Finally, we provide the code as an open-source Python Battery Mathematical Modeling (PyBaMM) model that can be used to identify performance limitations for other conversion cathode materials.

Stable bismuth-antimony alloy cathode with a conversion-dissolution/deposition mechanism for high-performance zinc batteries

Although a large number of intercalation cathode materials for aqueous Zn batteries have been reported, limited intercalation capacity precludes achieving a higher energy density. Here, for this work, we develop a high-performance aqueous Zn battery based on BiSb alloy (Bi 0.5 Sb 0.5 ) using a high-concentrated strong-basic polyelectrolyte. We demonstrate that a conversion-dissolution/deposition electrochemical mechanism (BiSb ↔ Bi + SbO 2 – ↔ Bi + SbO 3 – ↔ Bi 2 O 3 ) through in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) characterizations with the help of density functional theory calculations. The BiSb cathode delivers large capacity of 512 mAh g –1 at 0.3 Ag –1 and superior rate capability of 90 mAh g –1 even at 20 Ag –1 , and long-term cyclability with capacity retentions of 184 mAh g –1 after 600 cycles at 0.5 Ag –1 and 130 mAh g –1 after 1300 cycles at 1 Ag –1 . Remarkably, even at temperatures as low as –10 and –20 °C, capacities of 210 and 197 mAh g –1 are reserved at 1 Ag –1 , respectively. Moreover, the prepared pouch Zn//BiSb battery delivers a high energy density of 303 Wh kg –1 BiSb at 0.3 Ag –1 . When coupled with a high concentration polyelectrolyte, the Zn/BiSb battery exhibits an excellent performance over a wide temperature range (–40 to 40 °C). Our research reveals the metal cathode is promising for Zn batteries to achieve a high performance with the unique mechanism and alloys can be an effective approach to stabilize metal electrodes for cycling.

Expanding the interlayer spacing of MXene through nanoarchitecture design

MXenes, a diverse class of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides with distinct surface chem istries, offer remarkable electrochemical and physicochemical properties. Yet, their performance can be hindered by the intrinsic restacking of layers, which restricts surface activity. This review outlines recent advances in interlayer spacing modulation strategies designed to overcome this limitation. A wide range of guest spe cies–including mono- and polyatomic ions, small molecules, low-dimensional nanomaterials, and polymers–are discussed with respect to their intercalation mechanisms, structural effects, and capacity to introduce functional enhancements. These intercalating species interact with MXene via electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, redox reactions, or covalent linkages, resulting in stable, expanded nanoarchitectures. The influence of expanded spacing on capacitive behavior is briefly highlighted to illustrate its practical relevance. Although Ti 3 C 2 T x is currently the most extensively investigated MXene, applying these interlayer engineering strategies to other MXene compositions will be essential for accessing a wider range of properties and functionalities.

On the irreversible sodiation of tin disulfide

Tin disulfide is considered as a promising electrode material for sodium-ion batteries because of its two-dimensional layered structural characteristics allowing the intercalation of Na ions. Understanding the underlying reaction mechanisms and the decisive step of the reaction reversibility is critical for its applications. Herein, we investigate the sodiation and desodiation processes of SnS 2 by employing in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). After the initial intercalation reaction, a rock-salt Na y SnS 2 phase with disordering Na and Sn cations is observed, followed with a conversion reaction and an alloying reaction. Additionally, the disordering reaction occurs along <1-10> direction of pristine SnS 2 phase which is correlated with local bonding rearrangements induced by the exchange of Sn and Na cations. In-situ TEM studies and first-principles calculations indicate that the original 2D SnS 2 structure could not be recovered during desodiation. Instead, the disordered Na y SnS 2 phase is finally formed, which indicates that the irreversible disordering transition is the determining step of irreversible cycling. This work probes the structural evolution of sodiation, providing a fundamental understanding of the electrochemical properties of metal sulfides and inspiring rational designs of high performance electrodes for sodium-ion batteries.

Persistence of crystal orientations across sub-micron-scale "super-grains" in self-organized Cu-W nanocomposites

We use precession electron diffraction to investigate the crystallographic character of copper (Cu)-tungsten (W) nanocomposites fabricated via physical vapor co-deposition at 400 oC. We observe sub-micron-scale regions, where apparently disconnected Cu and W grains have near identical crystallographic orientations. This persistence of grain orientations suggests Cu and W grains within these regions are interconnected in 3-D when they first form and may be considered as intercalated, sub-micron-scale "super-grains". Indeed, atom probe tomography provides direct evidence of 3-D interconnectivity of W domains. Our findings shed light on the structure and self organization mechanisms of nanocomposites formed by spontaneous phase separation of co-deposited metals.

Hydration structure and energetics of iron-exchanged montmorillonite

The interaction between iron released from corroded steel canisters and bentonite is a key process influencing the long-term performance of nuclear waste repositories. In particular, the migration of Fe²⁺ into montmorillonite (Mnt) interlayers may alter its hydration, swelling, and ion-transport properties. In the present study, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the hydration behavior, structural response, and transport properties of Fe-exchanged montmorillonite (Fe-Mnt) under varying hydration states. The simulations focus on short- to intermediate-time-scale Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ interlayer exchange and hydration effects, and do not consider long-term structural substitution, Fe-bearing clay phase stabilization, or secondary iron mineral precipitation. Systems containing Na + -, Fe 2+ -, and Fe 3+ -Mnt were examined using both periodic and edge-exposed configurations to evaluate interlayer structure, ion exchange, and free energy of Fe intercalation. The results show that Fe ions influence the interlayer spacing primarily at low water contents (<1 bilayer), where Fe-Mnt exhibits a d-spacing 1–2 Å larger than Na-Mnt due to stronger hydration. The calculated hydration energies follow the order Fe 2+ $<$Fe 3+ $<$Na + . Both water and ion diffusion coefficients decrease upon Fe ion intercalation, with Fe 2+ ions diffusing an order of magnitude more slowly than those of Na + . Free energy profiles further confirm that Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ ions are thermodynamically favored in the interlayer, with Fe 3+ being the most stable. In conclusion, these findings provide molecular-scale insights into the mechanisms of Fe–Na exchange and their implications for bentonite alteration in repository environments.

Facile Electrochemical Mg-Ion Transport in a Defect-Free Spinel Oxide

Inversion, i.e. Mg/Mn antisite disorder, in a spinel oxide simultaneously causes blockage of favorable Mg 2+ migration paths, raising activation barriers for diffusion, and it reduces the number of redox-active metals, limiting the maximum capacity in the spinel. Here, an inversion-free spinel, MgCr 1.5 Mn 0.5 O 4 , was synthesized by exploiting the different intrinsic crystal field stabilization of redox-active Cr and Mn in the form of a solid-solution. The capability of the tailored spinel to reversibly (de)intercalate Mg 2+ at high redox potentials was investigated. The decrease in inversion dramatically lowered the electrochemical overpotential and hysteresis, and enabled utilization of high potentials at ~2.9 V (vs. Mg/Mg 2+ ) upon re-intercalation of Mg 2+ . A combination of characterization techniques reveals that the structural, compositional, and redox changes within the spinel oxide were consistent with the observed electrochemical Mg 2+ activity. Quantification of selective solely to lattice Mg 2+ upon the electrochemical reaction was investigated by monitoring NMR signals in isotope 25 Mg-enriched spinel oxides. Our findings enhance the understanding of Mg 2+ transport within spinel oxide frameworks and provide conclusive evidence for bulk Mg migration in oxide lattices at high redox potentials with minimized electrochemical hysteresis.
