[PMID: 38668210 PMCID: PMC11053989 DOI: 10.3390/nano14080716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we synthesized a transition metal sulfide (TMS) with a spinel structure, i.e., MnIn2S4 (MIS), using a two-step hydrothermal and sintering process. In the context of lithium-ion battery (LIB) applications, ternary TMSs are being considered as interesting options for anode materials. This consideration arises from their notable attributes, including high theoretical capacity, excellent cycle stability, and cost-effectiveness. However, dramatic volume changes result in the electrochemical performance being severely limited, so we introduced single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and prepared an MIS/SWCNT composite to enhance the structural stability and electronic conductivity. The synthesized MIS/SWCNT composite exhibits better cycle performance than bare MIS. Undergoing 100 cycles, MIS only yields a reversible capacity of 117 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g. However, the MIS/SWCNT composite exhibits a reversible capacity as high as 536 mAh/g after 100 cycles. Moreover, the MIS/SWCNT composite shows a better rate capability. The current density increases with cycling, and the SWCNT composite exhibits high reversible capacities of 232 and 102 mAh/g at 2 A/g and 5 A/g, respectively. Under the same conditions, pristine MIS can only deliver reversible capacities of 21 and 4 mAh/g. The results indicate that MIS/SWCNT composites are promising anode materials for LIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion battery (AZIBs) has attracted the attention of many researchers because of its safety, economy, environmental protection, and high ionic conductivity of electrolytes. However, the battery greatly suffers from zinc dendrite produced by zinc metal anode leading to poor cycle life and even unsafe problems, which limit its further development for various important applications. It is known that the success of the commercialization of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is mainly due to replacement of lithium metal anode with graphite, which avoids the formation of Li dendrite. Therefore, it is an important step to develop aqueous zinc ion anode to replace conventional zinc metal one with zinc-metal free anode material. In this review, the working principle and development prospect of "rocking-chair" AZIBs are introduced. The research progress of different types of zinc metal-free anode materials and cathode materials in "rocking-chair" AZIBs is reviewed. Finally, the limitations and challenges of the Zn metal-free "rocking-chair" AZIBs as well as solutions are deeply discussed, aiming to provide new strategies for the development of advanced zinc-ion batteries.

Abstract
Low temperatures severely impair the performance of lithium-ion batteries, which demand powerful electrolytes with wide liquidity ranges, facilitated ion diffusion, and lower desolvation energy. The keys lie in establishing mild interactions between Li+ and solvent molecules internally, which are hard to achieve in commercial ethylene-carbonate based electrolytes. Herein, we tailor the solvation structure with low-ε solvent-dominated coordination, and unlock ethylene-carbonate via electronegativity regulation of carbonyl oxygen. The modified electrolyte exhibits high ion conductivity (1.46 mS·cm-1) at -90 °C, and remains liquid at -110 °C. Consequently, 4.5 V graphite-based pouch cells achieve ~98% capacity over 200 cycles at -10 °C without lithium dendrite. These cells also retain ~60% of their room-temperature discharge capacity at -70 °C, and miraculously retain discharge functionality even at ~-100 °C after being fully charged at 25 °C. This strategy of disrupting solvation dominance of ethylene-carbonate through molecular charge engineering, opens new avenues for advanced electrolyte design.

Abstract
Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is regarded as a key factor to enable high power outputs of Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, we demonstrate a modified electrolyte consisting of a novel electrolyte additive, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltrimethoxysilane (FTMS) to construct a highly robust and stable SEI on a graphite anode for LIBs to enhance its rate performance. With 2% FTMS, the anode presents an improved capacity retention from 77.6 to 91.2% at 0.5 C after 100 cycles and an improved capacity from 86 to 229 mAh g-1 at 2 C. Experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations reveal that FTMS is preferentially absorbed and reduced on graphite to construct an interface chemistry with uniform fluoride-containing organic lithium salt and silicon-containing polymer, which exhibits high flexibility and conductivity and endows the SEI with high robustness and stability. This work provides an effective way to address the issue of slow lithium insertion/desertion kinetics of graphite anodes.

Abstract
We investigate the reassembly techniques for utilizing fine graphite particles, smaller than 5 µm, as high-efficiency, high-rate anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Fine graphite particles of two sizes (0.4-1.2 µm and 5 µm) are utilized, and the mixing ratio of the two particles is varied to control the porosity of the assembled graphite. The packing characteristics of the assembled graphite change based on the mixing ratio of the two types of fine graphite particles, forming assembled graphite with varying porosities. The open porosity of the manufactured assembled graphite samples ranges from 0.94% to 3.55%, while the closed porosity ranges from 21.41% to 26.51%. All the assembled graphite shows improved electrochemical characteristics properties compared with anodes composed solely of fine graphite particles without granulation. The sample assembled by mixing 1.2 µm and 5 µm graphite at a 60:40 ratio exhibits the lowest total porosity (27.45%). Moreover, it exhibits a 92.3% initial Coulombic efficiency (a 4.7% improvement over fine graphite particles) and a capacity of 163.4 mAh/g at a 5C-rate (a 1.9-fold improvement over fine graphite particles).

Abstract
Safety hazards arising from lithium (Li) plating during the operation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are a constant concern. Herein, this work explores the coaction of low temperatures and current rates (C rates) on Li plating in LIBs by electrochemical tests, material characterization, and numerical analysis. With a decrease in temperature and an increase in C rate, the battery charging process shifts from normal intercalation to Li plating and even ultimately fails at -20 °C and 0.5C. The morphology observations reveal the detailed growth process of individual plated Li through sand-like Li, whisker Li, dendritic Li, mossy Li, and finally bulk Li, as well as aggregated Li from sparse to dense. Through quantitative analysis, the dynamic pattern under long-term cycles is revealed. The low temperature and high C rate will lead to an increase in Li plating capacity and irreversibility, which are further deteriorated with the cycles. In addition, a critical condition of high Li plating and high reversibility at -10 °C and 0.2C is found, and further studies are needed to reveal the competition between kinetics and thermodynamics in the Li plating process. This work provides detailed information on the range and growth process of Li plating and quantifies Li plating, which can be used for practical Li plating prediction and regulation.

Abstract
Graphite is one of the most widely used negative electrode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, because of the rapid growth of demands pursuing higher energy density and charging rates, comprehensive insights into the lithium intercalation and plating processes are critical for further boosting the potential of graphite electrodes. Herein, by utilizing the dihedral-angle-corrected registry-dependent potential (DRIP) (Wen et al., Phys. Rev. B 2018, 98, 235404), the Ziegler-Biersack-Littmark (ZBL) potential (Ziegler and Biersack, Astrophysics, Chemistry, and Condensed Matter; 1985, pp 93-129), and the machine learning-based spectral neighbor analysis (SNAP) potential (Thompson et al., J. Comput, Phys. 2015, 285, 316-330), we have successfully trained a hybrid machine learning-enabled potential energy model capable of simulating a wide spectrum of lithium intercalation scenario from plating to overlithiation. Our extensive atomistic simulations reveal the trapping of intercalated lithium atoms close to the graphite edges due to high hopping barriers, resulting in lithium plating. Furthermore, we report a stable dense graphite intercalation compound (GIC) LiC4 with a theoretical capacity of 558 mAh/g, wherein lithium atoms occupy alternating upper/lower graphene hollow sites with a nearest Li-Li distance of 2.8 Å. Surprisingly, following the same lithium insertion manner would allow the nearest Li-Li distance to be retained until the capacity reaches 845.2 mAh/g, corresponding to a GIC of LiC2.6. Hence, the present study demonstrates that the hybrid machine learning approach could further extend the scope of machine learning energy models, allowing us to investigate the lithium intercalation into graphite over a wide range of intercalation capacity to unveil the underlying mechanisms of lithium plating, diffusion, and discovery of new dense GICs for advanced LIBs with high charging rates and high energy densities.

Abstract
Integration of fast charging, high capacity, and mechanical flexibility into one electrode is highly desired for portable energy-storage devices. However, a high charging rate is always accompanied by capacity decay and cycling instability. Here, a necklace-structured composite membrane consisting of micron-sized FeSe2 cubes uniformly threaded by carbon nanofibers (CNF) is reported. This unique electrode configuration can not only accommodate the volumetric expansion of FeSe2 during the lithiation/delithiation processes for structural robustness but also guarantee ultrafast kinetics for Li+ entry. At a high mass loading of 6.2 mg cm-2 , the necklace-like FeSe2 @CNF electrode exhibits exceptional rate capability (80.7% capacity retention from 0.1 to 10 A g-1 ) and long-term cycling stability (no capacity decay after 1100 charge-discharge cycles at 2 A g-1 ). The flexible lithium-ion capacitor (LIC) fabricated by coupling a pre-lithiated FeSe2 @CNF anode with a porous carbon cathode delivers impressive volumetric energy//power densities (98.4 Wh L-1 at 157.1 W L-1 , and 58.9 Wh L-1 at 15714.3 W L-1 ). The top performance, long-term cycling stability, low self-discharge rate, and high mechanical flexibility make it among the best LICs ever reported.

Abstract
ConspectusBuilding rechargeable batteries for subzero temperature application is highly demanding for various specific applications including electric vehicles, grid energy storage, defense/space/subsea explorations, and so forth. Commercialized nonaqueous lithium ion batteries generally adapt to a temperature above -20 °C, which cannot well meet the requirements under colder conditions. Certain improvements have been achieved with nascent materials and electrolyte systems but have mainly been restrained to discharge and within a small rate at temperatures above -40 °C. Moreover, the recharging process of batteries based on the graphite anode still faces huge challenges from the simultaneous Li+ intercalation and potential Li stripping at subzero temperatures. Revealing the temperature-dependent evolution of physicochemical and electrochemical properties will greatly benefit our understanding of the limiting factors at low temperature, which is of significant importance.Herein, we dissect the ion movements in the liquid electrolyte and solid electrode as well as their interphase to analyze the temperature effect on Li+-diffusion behavior during charging/discharging processes. An electrolyte is the vital factor, and its ionic conductivity guarantees the smooth operation of the battery. However, it is the sluggish diffusion in the solid, especially the charge transfer at the solid electrolyte/electrode interfaces (SEI), that greatly limits the kinetics at low temperature. Many strategies have been put forward to tame electrolytes for low-temperature application. From a macroscopic point of view, multiple solvents are mixed to adjust the liquid temperature range and viscosity. With respect to the microscopic nature, research is focusing on the solvation structure by formulating the ratio of Li+ ions to solvent molecules. The binding energy of the Li+-solvent complex is crucial for the desolvation process at low temperature, which is manipulated with fluorinated solvents or other weakly solvating electrolytes. On the basis of an optimized electrolyte, electrodes and their reaction mechanism need to be coupled carefully because different materials show totally different responses to temperature change. To avoid the sluggish desolvation process or slow diffusion in the bulk intercalation compounds, several kinds of materials are summarized for low temperature use. The intercalation pseudocapacitive behavior can compensate for the kinetics to some extent, and a metal anode is a good candidate for replacing a graphite anode to build high-energy-density batteries at subzero temperature. It is also a wise choice to develop nascent battery chemistry based on the co-intercalation of solvent molecules into electrodes. Furthermore, the interfacial resistance contributes a lot at low temperature, which need be modified to accelerate the Li+ diffusion across the film. This will be linked to the electrolyte, exactly speaking, the solvation structure, to regulate the organic and inorganic components as well as the structure. Although it is difficult to investigate SEI on a graphite anode owing to its poor performance at low temperature, great efforts on Li metal anodes have offered some valuable information as reference. It is worth mentioning that the improvement in low-temperature performance calls for not only a change in the single composition but also the synergetic effect of each part in the whole battery. The elementary studies covered in this account could be taken as insight into some key strategies that help advance the low-temperature battery chemistry.
