Abstract
Replacing liquid electrolytes and separators in conventional lithium-ion batteries with solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) is an important strategy to ensure both high energy density and high safety. Searching for fast ionic conductors with high electrochemical and chemical stability has been the core of SSE research and applications over the past decades. Based on the atomic-level thickness and infinitely expandable planar structure, numerous two-dimensional materials (2DMs) have been exploited and applied to address the most critical issues of low ionic conductivity of SSEs and lithium dendrite growth in all-solid-state lithium batteries. This review introduces the research process of 2DMs in SSEs, then summarizes the mechanisms and strategies of inert and active 2DMs toward Li+ transport to improve the ionic conductivity and enhance the electrode/SSE interfacial compatibility. More importantly, the main challenges and future directions for the application of 2DMs in SSEs are considered, including the importance of exploring the relationship between the anisotropic structure of 2DMs and Li+ diffusion behavior, the exploitation of more 2DMs, and the significance of in situ characterizations in elucidating the mechanisms of Li+ transport and interfacial reactions. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding to facilitate the application of 2DMs in SSEs.

Breaking solvation dominance of ethylene carbonate via molecular charge engineering enables lower temperature battery. Nat Commun 2023; 14:8326. [PMID: 38097577 PMCID: PMC10721867 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-43163-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
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.

[PMID: 35587769 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202201110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2022] [Revised: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Various anode materials have been widely studied to pursue higher performance for next generation lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Metal oxides hold the promise for high energy density of LIBs through conversion reactions. Among these, tin dioxide (SnO2 ) has been typically investigated after the reversible lithium storage of tin-based oxides is reported by Idota and co-workers in 1997. Numerous in/ex situ studies suggest that SnO2 stores Li+ through a conversion reaction and an alloying reaction. The difficulty of reversible conversion between Li2 O and SnO2 is a great obstacle limiting the utilization of SnO2 with high theoretical capacity of 1494 mA h g-1 . Thus, enhancing the reversibility of the conversion reaction has become the research emphasis in recent years. Here, taking SnO2 as a typical representative, the recent progress is summarized and insight into the reverse conversion reaction is elaborated. Promoting Li2 O decomposition and maintaining high Sn/Li2 O interface density are two effective approaches, which also provide implications for designing other metal oxide anodes. In addition, some in/ex situ characterizations focusing on the conversion reaction are emphatically introduced. This review, from the viewpoint of material design and advanced characterizations, aims to provide a comprehensive understanding and shed light on the development of reversible metal oxide electrodes.
