Solid Wastes from Geothermal Energy Production and Implications for Direct Lithium Extraction

Direct lithium extraction (DLE) of brines after geothermal power production offers opportunities to produce environmentally benign “green” lithium; however, some environmental impact is inevitable. We examined solid waste production at geothermal power plants in southern California that are also locations for planned DLE facilities. Currently, the geothermal plants in this region produce approximately 79,800 metric tons (wet weight) per year of solid waste, which represents about 28 metric tons per GWh of net electricity production or approximately 500 mg solids per kg geothermal brine. Approximately 15% of this waste requires management as hazardous waste. Solids produced during power production represent about 0.2% of the total dissolved solids in the brine. Lithium production will require the removal of silica, iron, and other metals as part of the DLE process. Using a mass balance approach, we calculate that precipitation of silica and metals could produce up to an additional 6800 mg solids per kg brine. Calcium occurs at very high concentrations, and the amount of solids disposed in landfills will be dependent on the amount of calcium removed during lithium recovery. Our analysis shows that evaluation of brine chemistry in the context of the DLE process is useful for evaluating the potential solid waste impacts of producing lithium from brines.

Minimizing Energy Loss by Designing Multifunctional Solid Additives to Independent Regulation of Donor and Acceptor Layers for Efficient LBL Polymer Solar Cells

Solid additives are crucial in layer-by-layer (LBL) polymer solar cells (PSCs). Despite its importance, the simultaneous application of solid additives into both donor and acceptor layers has been largely overlooked. In this work, two multifunctional solid additives are actively designed, and investigated the synergistic effect on both donor and acceptor layers. Incorporating the multifunctional solid additives into the donor layer could effectively enhance the aggregation and molecular stacking of the donor polymer, leading to reduced energy disorder and minimizing ΔE 2 . When the multifunctional solid additives are introduced into the acceptor layer, they just play a role in optimizing the morphology, thereby reducing the ΔE 3 . Excitedly, the simultaneous addition of the multifunctional solid additives into both donor and acceptor layers produced a synergistic effect for decreasing ΔE 2 and ΔE 3 simultaneously, especially adding SA2, thus enabling an excellent power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.95% (certified as 19.68%) with an open-circuit voltage (V oc ) of 0.921 V, a short circuit current density (J sc ) of 27.08 mA cm -2 and a fill factor (FF) of 79.98%. The work highlights the potential of multifunctional solid additives in independently regulating the properties of donor and acceptor layers, which is expected as a promising approach for further developing higher performance PSCs.

Operando Investigation on the Role of Densification and Chemo-Mechanics on Solid-State Cathodes

All solid-state batteries are desirable for a range of energy storage applications which require high energy density. Achieving a high energy density in a solid-state battery requires the operation of an energy dense anode with a composite solid-state cathode. Pores and/or voids within a solid state cathode are ion-blocking and thus control over the concentration and distribution of pores in the initial electrode and cycled electrode is desirable. This study provides an understanding of the interplay between electrode microstructure and mechanics on active material utilization in solid state cathodes composed of NCM 811 and Li 6 PS 5 Cl. Decreasing the solid electrolyte particle size leads to greater active material-electrolyte contact and less total deformation when exposed to an external load. Composite cathodes with greater compliance can potentially decrease strain between the active material and solid electrolyte, decrease delamination events and result in higher overall active material utilization and high capacity retention.

Deciphering the Conflict Between Ion and Electron Percolating Networks in Solid-State Battery Cathodes

High-energy- and power-density solid state batteries require an optimal cathode composition and microstructural arrangement of cathode active material, solid-state electrolyte, conductive carbon, and binder to simultaneously support lithium-ion transport, electron conduction, and storage capacity. The ion and electron conducting phases in solid-state cathodes counteract each other's percolating networks as their mass ratios increase or decrease relative to each other. Here, we investigate targeted mass ratio variations of argyrodite solid electrolyte and two different types of conductive carbon (particles and fibers) in composite LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) solid-state cathodes to ascertain the ionic-electronic tradeoffs in cathode performance. Through ionic and electronic conductivity measurements on composite cathodes, as well as rate-testing and cycling performance in full cells, it is shown that the conductive carbon fibers form a percolative electronic network within the composite at a lower mass ratio (3-5 wt%) than particulate carbon (>5 wt%). The threshold to achieve electronic percolation coincides with higher accessible capacity in the cathode as the active material particles become electronically connected. However, carbon loadings beyond this percolation threshold lead to increased ion transport resistance, arising from disruptions to ionic conduction pathways and degraded contact at the interface between the electrolyte and active materials. Imaging, spectroscopy, and physics-based models quantitatively describe the relationship between carbon and electrolyte compositions and the cell's capacity and rate performance through percolation theory. This work demonstrates the importance of quantitatively understanding percolating networks in solid-state cells and that strategic engineering of conductive carbon morphologies can further increase the energy- and power-density of solid-state cells.

Probing the elastic modulus and hardness of superionic boron cluster solid electrolytes

Polyhedral borane salts are highly tunable compounds with the potential to be used as solid electrolytes due to their high Li and Na superionic conductivity and relatively wide electrochemical stability window. In considering their application to all solid-state batteries, their mechanical properties play a critical role in their operation due to stresses the solid electrolyte is subjected to during battery operation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have provided an initial assessment of bulk and elastic moduli for some selected boron cluster solid electrolytes, but direct measurements are still scarce. Here, in this paper, we report the elastic moduli and hardnesses of LiCB 11 H 12 , LiCB 9 H 10 , NaCB 11 H 12 , and NaCB 9 H 10 for the first time using nanoindentation continuous stiffness method (CSM) measurements under inert atmosphere. Experimental modulus values ranging 8.8–12.3 GPa and hardness values ranging 0.15–0.38 GPa are lower than that of other inorganic solid-state electrolytes such as oxide- and sulfide-based solid electrolytes. DFT calculations on the expected moduli of these compounds are also presented and discussed. Analysis of the indentation plasticity index reveals that these compounds have higher plasticity index compared to other common oxide and sulfide solid electrolytes. According to the calculated Pugh's ratio, all compounds in this study except LiCB 11 H 12 are considered ductile.

Multiple Sources of Riparian Wetland Suspended Solids during Episodic Rain Events: Influence on Uranium Transport

Suspended solids can be the primary vector for transporting contaminants in streams. The objective of this study was to determine whether changes in the properties of suspended solids during rain events impacted contaminant transport. Stream water was collected during five episodic events downstream from a U-contaminated wetland located in South Carolina, USA. The suspended particles were initially composed of Fe-flocs (particles formed in situ prior to the rain event) that had significantly greater Fe, Mn, organic-C, and U content than particles collected later during a sampling rain event. XANES and EXAFS revealed that U in the Fe-flocs was U(VI) and that it was not incorporated in a mineral structure but existed as inner- or outer-sphere adsorbed uranyl species associated with organic matter and Fe-oxides. The uranyl had an extraordinarily high affinity for the suspended solids, with solid to liquid U ratios of >72,000 (μg/kg)/(μg/L). After the initial flush of Fe-flocs, a greater fraction of the suspended solids had lower organic-C, Fe, Mn, and amorphous phases and were composed of more quartz, kaolinite, and gibbsite, resulting in lower U concentrations than those in the solids collected earlier in the rain event. This study highlights the importance of understanding suspended solids as transport vectors and their potential dynamic nature during rain events.

Enhanced light absorption for solid-state brown carbon from wildfires due to organic and water coatings

Abstract Wildfires emit solid-state strongly absorptive brown carbon (solid S-BrC, commonly known as tar ball), critical to Earth’s radiation budget and climate, but their highly variable light absorption properties are typically not accounted for in climate models. Here, we show that from a Pacific Northwest wildfire, over 90% of particles are solid S-BrC with a mean refractive index of 1.49 + 0.056 i at 550 nm. Model sensitivity studies show refractive index variation can cause a ~200% difference in regional absorption aerosol optical depth. We show that ~50% of solid S-BrC particles from this sample uptake water above 97% relative humidity. We hypothesize these results from a hygroscopic organic coating, potentially facilitating solid S-BrC as nuclei for cloud droplets. This water uptake doubles absorption at 550 nm and the organic coating on solid S-BrC can lead to even higher absorption enhancements than water. Incorporating solid S-BrC and water interactions should improve Earth’s radiation budget predictions.

Solid-state platform for cooperative quantum dynamics driven by correlated emission

While traditionally regarded as an obstacle to quantum coherence, recent breakthroughs in quantum optics have shown that the dissipative interaction of a qubit with its environment can be leveraged to protect quantum states and synthesize many-body entanglement. Inspired by this progress, here we set the stage for the—as yet uncharted—exploration of analogous cooperative phenomena in hybrid solid-state platforms. We develop a comprehensive formalism for the quantum many-body dynamics of an ensemble of solid-state spin defects interacting with the magnetic field fluctuations of a common solid-state reservoir. Our framework applies to any solid-state reservoir whose fluctuating spin, pseudospin, or charge degrees of freedom generate magnetic fields. To understand whether correlations induced by dissipative processes can play a relevant role in a realistic experimental setup, we apply our model to a qubit array interacting via the spin fluctuations of a ferromagnetic bath. Our results show that the low-temperature collective relaxation rates of the qubit ensemble can display clear signatures of super- and subradiance, i.e., forms of cooperative dynamics traditionally achieved in atomic ensembles. We find that the solid-state analog of these cooperative phenomena is robust against spatial disorder in the qubit ensemble and thermal fluctuations of the magnetic reservoir, providing a route for their feasibility in near-term experiments. Finally, our work lays the foundation for a multiqubit approach to quantum sensing of solid-state systems and the direct generation of many-body entanglement in spin-defect ensembles. Furthermore, we discuss how the tunability of solid-state reservoirs opens up novel pathways for exploring cooperative phenomena in regimes beyond the reach of conventional quantum optics setups.

Imaging quantum melting in a disordered 2D Wigner solid

Two-dimensional strongly interacting electrons crystalize into a solid phase known as the Wigner crystal at low densities and form a Fermi liquid at high densities. At intermediate densities, the two-dimensional solid evolves into a strongly correlated liquid phase around a critical density. We observed this quantum melting of a disordered Wigner solid in bilayer molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) using a noninvasive scanning tunneling microscopy imaging technique. At low densities, the Wigner solid forms nanocrystalline domains pinned by local disorder. It exhibits a quantum densification behavior with increased densities in the solid phase. Above a threshold density, the Wigner solid melts locally and enters a mixed phase in which solid and liquid regions coexist. The liquid regions expand and form a percolation network at even higher densities.

Improved Stability of Oxysulfide Solid-State Electrolytes in Li(G3)TFSI Solvate Ionic Liquid Electrolyte

The performance of all solid-state batteries is limited by poor interfacial contact between active material and solid-state electrolyte (SSE) particles. Semi-solid batteries utilize a secondary electrolyte phase to wet the SSE/AM interface to improve cell performance. Solvate ionic liquids (SILs) are one class of liquid electrolytes under consideration for use in semi-solid batteries. This paper focuses on the Li(G3)TFSI SIL consisting of the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI − ) anion coupled to a [Li(G3)] + solvate cation. Sulfide SSEs are normally subject to nucleophilic attack by trigylme (G3), however, strong coordination of Li + to G3 in the [Li(G3)] + solvate cation prevents this reaction from taking place. Consequently, the stability of sulfide SSE depends on the ideal 1:1 molar ratio of G3 to TFSI, which may be difficult to maintain. We studied the chemical stability of 70Li 2 S·(30-x)P 2 S 5 ·xP 2 O 5 (x = 0, 2, 5, 10) (oxy)sulfide solid-state electrolyte in Li(G3)TFSI SIL. By physical measurement, UV–vis spectroscopy, electrochemical evaluation, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and first principles calculation it is shown that increased oxygen content improves the stability of SSE in various Li(G3) x TFSI (x = 1, 2, 3, 4) liquid electrolytes. The results suggest that an oxysulfide SSE + SIL semi-solid electrolyte is a good choice for future semi-solid battery designs.

Probing degradation at solid-state battery interfaces using machine-learning interatomic potential

Solid-state batteries featuring fast ion-conducting solid electrolytes are promising next-generation energy storage technologies, yet challenges remain for practical deployment due to electro-chemo-mechanical instabilities at solid-solid interfaces. These interfaces, which include homogeneous/internal interfaces such as grain boundaries (GBs) and heterogeneous/external interfaces between solid-electrolyte and electrode materials, can impede Li-ion transport, deteriorate performance, and eventually lead to cell failure. Here, in this study, we leverage large-scale molecular simulations, enabled by validated machine-learning interatomic potentials, to directly probe the onset of interfacial degradation at the garnet Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) solid-electrolyte/LiCoO 2 (LCO) cathode interface. By surveying different interfacial geometries and compositions, it is found that Li-deficient interfaces can lead to severe interfacial disordering with cation mixing and Co interdiffusion from LCO into LLZO. By contrast, Li-sufficient interfaces are less disordered, although elemental segregation with local ordering is observed. As a consequence of Co interdiffusion, Co-rich regions are formed at the GBs of LLZO due to cation segregation and trapping effects. This behavior is independent of the GB tilting axis, degree of disorder at the GBs, and Co concentration, which implies Co clustering at GBs is a general phenomenon in polycrystalline LLZO and can dictate its overall transport and mechanical properties. Our findings elucidate the underlying fundamental mechanisms that give rise to experimentally observed physicochemical properties and provide guidelines for interface design that can mitigate interfacial degradation and improve cycling performance.

In-situ electrochemical optical techniques in the investigation of lithium interfacial phenomena with a liquid and a solid-state electrolyte

An in-situ electrochemical optical diagnosis is the key to the investigation of electrode interface during a redox reaction. Because the morphology changes particularly, dendrite formation, dendrite shapes, solid electrolyte interface formation and gas generation can be revealed visually. The challenge of ensuring uniform current density on a flat Li anode in a liquid electrolyte was addressed and uniform Li plating was demonstrated. The dendrite shape change under different reduction current density was discussed. Here the Li dendrite shape change and the performance of Li anodes with a surface lamination of graphite and red phosphate were used as examples to demonstrate the capability of the in-situ optical cell. An in-situ electrochemical optical cell used in the investigation of the increasingly popular solid-state Li batteries has its own challenges. Due to the untransparent nature of a solid-state electrolyte, an optical investigation on a solid-state electrolyte Li battery needs to be done by exposing the cross-section of the cell. In addition, it is very difficult to assemble an optical cell with a brittle and fragile solid-state electrolyte in a glove box. A set of formation and transfer dies, and an optical cell were introduced. The Li dendrite growth at the interface can be observed in a solid-state Li cell.

Electrochemical Oxidation in Garnet-Type Solid Electrolyte by Formation of Point Defects

All-solid-state batteries hold greater promise for improving safety and energy density over conventional battery technology employing organic liquid electrolytes. One of the required features of a Li + conducting solid electrolyte is electrochemical stability, attained thermodynamically or kinetically, within the targeted operating voltage and temperature ranges. Therefore, understanding of the oxidative or reductive degradation mechanism is important to allow the design of stable solid electrolyte materials. This work contributes to building an understanding of the oxidative degradation mechanism in lithium solid electrolytes at cell operating conditions. Here, we have focused on resolving the oxidative decomposition mechanism of Al-doped lithium garnet Li 6.28 Al 0.24 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) as a state-of-the-art inorganic ceramic electrolyte. By combining experimental and computational analyses, we show that oxidation of LLZO occurs by simultaneous loss of oxygen and lithium from the structure, resulting in substoichiometric LLZO, at a moderate temperature (80 °C) and a high electrode potential (4.3 V vs Li/Li + ). Based on X-ray absorption and diffraction analyses, we find that the zirconium coordination shells in LLZO contract while the crystal structure experiences positive chemical strain upon electrochemical oxidation. The results from ex situ structural characterization of both the local structure and crystal symmetry are supported by a substoichiometric LLZO with lithium and oxygen vacancies, modeled by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These chemical and structural changes in LLZO suppress effective lithium-ion conductivity by an order of magnitude. Formation of lithium and oxygen vacancies in LLZO upon electrochemical oxidation is different from prior thermodynamic predictions of phase decomposition of LLZO. The difference here is that the experiments were conducted at near-room temperature, which can hinder the kinetics of phase separation, and thus, the resultant LLZO solid electrolyte is still single-phase but substoichiometric in Li and O. In conclusion, these findings contribute an important degradation mechanism of the electrolyte, relevant for practical operational conditions of solid-state batteries.

Superionic conducting vacancy-rich β-Li 3 N electrolyte for stable cycling of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries

The advancement of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries requires breakthroughs in solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) for the suppression of lithium dendrite growth at high current densities and high capacities (>3 mAh cm -2 ) and innovation of SSEs in terms of crystal structure, ionic conductivity and rigidness. Here we report a superionic conducting, highly lithium-compatible and air-stable vacancy-rich β-Li 3 N SSE. This vacancy-rich β-Li 3 N SSE shows a high ionic conductivity of 2.14 × 10 -3 S cm -1 at 25 °C and surpasses almost all the reported nitride-based SSEs. A Li- and N-vacancy-mediated fast lithium-ion migration mechanism is unravelled regarding vacancy-triggered reduced activation energy and increased mobile lithium-ion population. All-solid-state lithium symmetric cells using vacancy-rich β-Li 3 N achieve breakthroughs in high critical current densities up to 45 mA cm -2 and high capacities up to 7.5 mAh cm -2 , and ultra-stable lithium stripping and plating processes over 2,000 cycles. The high lithium compatibility mechanism of vacancy-rich β-Li 3 N is unveiled as intrinsic stability to lithium metal. In addition, β-Li 3 N possesses excellent air stability through the formation of protection surfaces. All-solid-state lithium metal batteries using the vacancy-rich β-Li 3 N as SSE interlayers and lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) and Ni-rich LiNi 0.83 Co 0.11 Mn 0.06 O 2 (NCM83) cathodes exhibit excellent battery performance. Extremely stable cycling performance is demonstrated with high capacity retentions of 82.05% with 95.2 mAh g -1 over 5,000 cycles at 1.0 C for LCO and 92.5% with 153.6 mAh g -1 over 3,500 cycles at 1.0 C for NCM83. Utilizing the vacancy-rich β-Li 3 N SSE and NCM83 cathodes, the all-solid-state lithium metal batteries successfully accomplished mild rapid charge and discharge rates up to 5.0 C, retaining 60.47% of the capacity. Notably, these batteries exhibited a high areal capacity, registering approximately 5.0 mAh cm -2 for the compact pellet-type cells and around 2.2 mAh cm -2 for the all-solid-state lithium metal pouch cells.

Solid structure of Li 2 BeF 4 (FLiBe) from room temperature to melting studied by neutron and X-ray diffraction

Molten fluoride salts such as Li 2 BeF 4 (FLiBe) are used in molten salt reactors, fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactors and fusion reactors as a fuel solvent, coolant and/or tritium breeding medium. In engineered systems that use molten salt, solid-state material will be present during melting and freezing scenarios, and therefore the temperature-dependent properties of the solid and solid/liquid phase transition merit investigation. To observe the behavior of the solid state of Li 2 BeF 4 from room temperature to melting, this work used neutron and X-ray diffraction to measure the changes in the lattice parameters and volume of the crystalline unit cell and compared the results with prior low-temperature data for solid Li 2 BeF 4 . From neutron diffraction data it is also possible to identify anisotropy: centimetre-scaled crystals align preferentially with the a axes parallel to the direction of freezing front propagation, and the c axes expand 54% more than the a axes. This work provides the lattice constants as a function of temperature, quantifies the thermal expansion, and determines the equation describing the change in density for solid Li 2 BeF 4 from room temperature to 459°C to be ρ solid (kg m −3 ) = 2182 (3) − 0.115 (2) T (°C) and the volume expansion upon melting to be less than 5%. This density changes depending on molecular weight and enrichment.

Stress engineering for crack and dendrite prevention in solid electrolytes via ion implantation

Solid-state batteries represent a promising technology that offers safer and more densely packed energy storage. A primary cause of failure in solid-state cells is the penetration of metal dendrites through the solid electrolyte. Here, we report that fluorine-ion implantation can enhance the mechanical resistance of solid electrolyte Li 6.5 La 3 Zr 1.5 Ta 0.5 O 12 to dendrite propagation by inducing residual compressive stress in the subsurface of the electrolyte. Ion implantation modifies subsurface residual stress and also alters the electrolyte’s surface, resulting in multifunctional enhancement. The combined chemical and mechanical effects of ion implantation enable reversible lithium metal stripping and plating at elevated current densities while enhancing air stability and mitigating the formation of a harmful carbonate layer at the surface. This study provides new insights into a scalable dendrite-suppression strategy for designing solid-state batteries suitable for cycling at room temperature and low stack pressures.

Ultrafast Reactive Laser Sintering of Highly Conductive Garnet-Type LLZTO Solid Electrolytes

Rapid and scalable fabrication of garnet-type solid electrolytes remains a major challenge for the practical deployment of lithium metal batteries. Here, we report reactive laser sintering (RLS) as an ultrafast and potentially scalable strategy for fabricating garnet-type Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 (LLZTO) solid electrolytes. RLS of LLZTO enables simultaneous reaction and densification, achieving ∼95% relative density while minimizing lithium loss and suppressing secondary phase formation. Compared to conventional furnace sintering, RLS promotes enhanced grain growth and improved densification, leading to improved ionic conductivity (0.36 ± 0.08 mS cm −1 ) while maintaining comparable activation energies for Li + transport. Structural characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and solid-state 6 Li/ 7 Li NMR confirms the formation of cubic garnet LLZTO with homogeneous microscale elemental distribution. In addition, nanoindentation measurements demonstrate that RLS preserves the mechanical properties of the garnet framework despite ultrafast localized thermal processing. By integrating simultaneous reaction and densification with tunable microstructural control, reactive laser sintering provides a promising manufacturing pathway for high-performance garnet solid electrolytes toward next-generation solid-state batteries.
