Abstract
Li-rich manganese-based oxide (LRMO) is considered one of the most promising cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to its high energy density. However, many issues need to be addressed before its large-scale commercialization, including significant voltage decay and capacity fading. Herein, a Sn4+/Na+ co-doping induced integrated defect structure (oxygen vacancies, stacking faults, and surface spinel phase) strategy is proposed to suppress the voltage decay and enhance the cycling performance of LRMO. The integrated surface defect structures have significantly favorable effects on the LRMO, where the oxygen vacancies remove surface labile oxygen and suppress surface oxygen release, the induced stacking faults alleviate the stress accumulation during cycling, the surface spinel phase promotes the Li+ diffusion and prevents the outward migration of cations, and the co-doped Sn4+/Na+ stabilize the layered structure. As a result, the modified sample Na2SnO3-1 % (NSO-1) achieves excellent cycling performance (capacity of 207 mAh/g and capacity retention of 96.71 % after 100 cycles at 0.5C) and a smaller voltage decay (less than 1.5 mV per cycle) compared with the unmodified LRMO. This work provides a new valuable strategy to suppress capacity fading and voltage decay of LRMO through dual-element substitution induced surface defect engineering.

Abstract
The safety concerns surrounding lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have garnered increasing attention due to their potential to endanger lives and incur significant financial losses. However, the origins of battery failures are diverse, presenting significant challenges in developing safety measures to mitigate accidental catastrophes. In this study, the aging mechanism of LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2||graphite-based cylindrical 18,650 LIBs stored at room temperature for two years was investigated. It was found that an uneven distribution of electrolytes can be caused by gravity, leading to temperature variations within the battery. Specifically, it was observed that the temperature at the top of the battery was approximately -0.89 °C higher than at the bottom, correlating with an increase in partial internal resistance. Additionally, upon disassembly and analysis of spent batteries, the most significant damage to electrode materials at the top of the battery was observed. These findings suggest that gravity-induced electrolyte insufficiency exacerbates side reactions, particularly at the top of the battery. This study offers a unique perspective on the safety concerns associated with high-energy-density batteries in long-term and large-scale applications.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) metal batteries are highly sought after for their exceptional energy density. However, their practical implementation is impeded by the formation of dendrites and significant volume fluctuations in Li, which stem from the uneven distribution of Li-ions and uncontrolled deposition of Li on the current collector. Here, an amino-functionalized reduced graphene oxide covered with polyacrylonitrile (PrGN) film with an electric field gradient structure is prepared to deal with such difficulties. This novel current collector serves to stabilize Li-metal anodes by regulating Li-ion flux through vertically aligned channels formed by porous polyacrylonitrile (PAN). Moreover, the amino-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGN) acts as a three-dimensional (3D) host, reducing nucleation overpotential and accommodating volume expansion during cycling. The combination of the insulating PAN and conducting rGN creates an electric field gradient that promotes a bottom-up mode of Li electrodeposition and safeguards the anode from interfacial parasitic reactions. Consequently, the electrodes exhibit exceptional cycle life with stable voltage profiles and minimal hysteresis under high current densities and large areal capacities.

Abstract
Lithium-rich layered oxides (LLOs, Li1.2 Mn0.54 Ni0.13 Co0.13 O2 ) are widely used as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity, high operating voltage and low cost. However, the LLOs are faced with rapid decay of charge/discharge capacity and voltage, as well as interface side reactions, which limit its electrochemical performance. Herein, the dual strategies of sulfite/sodium ion co-doping and lithium carbonate coating were used to improve it. It founds that modified LLOs achieve 88.74 % initial coulomb efficiency, 295.3 mAh g-1 first turn discharge capacity, in addition to 216.9 mAh g-1 at 1 C, and 87.23 % capacity retention after 100 cycles. Mechanism research indicated that the excellent electrochemical performance benefits from the doping of both Na+ and SO3 2- , and it could significantly reduce the migration energy barrier of Li+ and promote Li+ migration. Meanwhile, anion and cation are co-doped greatly reduces the band gap of LLOs and increase its electrical conductivity, and its binding effect on Li+ is weakened, making it easier for Li+ to shuttle through the material. In addition, the lithium carbonate coating significantly inhibits the occurrence of interfacial side reactions of LLOs. This work provides a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the further development of LLOs with higher electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Li-rich layered oxides are considered as one of the most promising cathode materials for secondary lithium batteries due to their high specific capacities, but the issue of continuous voltage decay during cycling hinders their market entry. Increasing the Ni content in Li-rich materials is assumed to be an effective way to address this issue and attracts recent research interests. However, a high Ni content may induce increased intrinsic reactivity of materials, resulting in severe side reactions with the electrolyte. Thus, a comprehensive study to differentiate the two effects of the Ni content on the cell performance with Li-rich cathode is carried out in this work. Herein, it is demonstrated that a properly dosed amount of Ni can effectively suppress the voltage decay in Li-rich cathodes, while over-loading of Ni, on the contrary, can cause structural instability, Ni dissolution, and nonuniform Li deposition during cycling as well as severe oxygen loss. This work offers a deep understanding on the impacts of Ni content in Li-rich materials, which can be a good guidance for the future design of such cathodes for high energy density lithium batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (RAIBs) have emerged as a promising battery storage technology owing to their cost-effectiveness, operational safety, and high energy density. However, their actual capacity is substantially lower than their true capacity and their cycling stability is poor. Therefore, understanding the energy-storage mechanism may contribute to the successful design of a stable electrode material, on which the performance can be optimized. The aim of this study is to investigate AlCl4 - ions in transition metal cathode materials and mechanisms that enable for their high-energy-storage potential and low Coulombic efficiency. Results of theoretical analysis and experimental verification show that a multi-ion transport mechanism is responsible for the electrochemical behavior of the battery. The lattice distortion of CoSe2 caused by AlCl4 - ion intercalation, has a considerable effect on the initial stability of the battery. MXene as a support material reduces the size of CoSe2 growing on its surface, effectively inhibiting the lattice distortion caused by the interaction with the aluminum-anion complex, thus addressing the issues of poor reversibility, cycle instability, and low Coulombic efficiency of the battery. Hence, understanding the impact of MXene on the battery may aid in further improving the design of electrode materials.

Abstract
The Ni-rich layered cathode material LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) with high specific capacity and acceptable rate performance is one of the key cathode materials for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. Coprecipitation, the widely utilized method in the precursor synthesis of NCM811 materials, however, suffers long synthetic processes and challenges in uniform element distribution. The spray pyrolysis method is able to prepare oxide precursors in seconds where all transition-metal elements are well distributed, but the difficulty of lithium distribution will also arise when the lithium salts are added in the subsequent sintering process. Herein, a fresh one-step spray pyrolysis approach is proposed for preparing high-performance NCM811 cathode materials by synthesizing lithium-contained precursors in which all elements are well distributed at a molecular level. The precursors with folded morphology and exceptional uniformity are successfully obtained at a low pyrolysis temperature of 300 °C by an acetate system. Furthermore, the final products commendably inherit the folded morphology of the precursors and exhibit excellent cyclic retentions of 94.6% and 88.8% after 100 and 200 cycles at 1 C (1 C = 200 mA g-1), respectively.

Abstract
HIGHLIGHTS First report of a lithium-ion battery cathode as a deionization electrode for desalination. A novel approach to suppress manganese dissolution by exposing the (111) facet is proposed. Excellent desalination performance by the LiMn2O4/C cathode. The material achieves an ultrahigh desalination capacity of 117.3 mg g−1 at 1.0 V and a longer cycle life (200 cycles without capacity decay) with minor manganese dissolution during the cycling test in 10 mM aqueous LiCl solution. ABSTRACT Battery materials as emerging capacitive deionization electrodes for desalination have better salt removal capacities than traditional carbon-based materials. LiMn2O4, a widely used cathode material, is difficult to utilize as a deionization electrode due to its structural instability upon cycling and Mn dissolution in aqueous-based electrolytes. Herein, a facile and low-cost ball-milling routine was proposed to prepare a LiMn2O4 material with highly exposed (111) facets. The prepared electrode exhibited relatively low dissolution of Mn during cycling, which shows its long cycle stability. In the hybrid capacitive deionization system, the LiMn2O4/C electrode delivered a high desalination capacity of 117.3 mg g−1 without obvious capacity decay at a voltage of 1.0 V with a 20 mM initial salt concentration. In addition, the exposed (111) facets significantly alleviated Mn ion dissolution, which also enhanced the structural steadiness.

Xu J. Critical Review on cathode-electrolyte Interphase Toward High-Voltage Cathodes for Li-Ion Batteries. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2022; 14:166. [PMID: 35974213 PMCID: PMC9381680 DOI: 10.1007/s40820-022-00917-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
The thermal stability window of current commercial carbonate-based electrolytes is no longer sufficient to meet the ever-increasing cathode working voltage requirements of high energy density lithium-ion batteries. It is crucial to construct a robust cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) for high-voltage cathode electrodes to separate the electrolytes from the active cathode materials and thereby suppress the side reactions. Herein, this review presents a brief historic evolution of the mechanism of CEI formation and compositions, the state-of-art characterizations and modeling associated with CEI, and how to construct robust CEI from a practical electrolyte design perspective. The focus on electrolyte design is categorized into three parts: CEI-forming additives, anti-oxidation solvents, and lithium salts. Moreover, practical considerations for electrolyte design applications are proposed. This review will shed light on the future electrolyte design which enables aggressive high-voltage cathodes.

[PMID: 35760758 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202200942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The high capacity of Li-rich and Mn-based (LRM) cathode materials is originally due to the unique hybrid anion- and cation redox, which also induces detrimental oxygen escape. Furthermore, the counter diffusion of released oxygen (into electrolyte) and induced oxygen vacancies (into the interior bulk phase) that occurs at the interface will cause uncontrolled phase collapse and other issues. Therefore, due to its higher working voltage (>4.7 V) than the activation voltage of lattice oxygen in LRM (≈4.5 V), the anion-redox-free and structurally consistent cobalt-free LiNi0.5 Mn1.5 O4 (LNMO) is selected to in situ construct a robust, crystal-dense and lattice-matched oxygen-passivation-layer (OPL) on the surface of LRM particles by the electrochemical delithiation to protect the core layered components. As expected, the modified sample displays continuously decreasing interfacial impedance and high specific capacity of 135.5 mAh g-1 with a very small voltage decay of 0.67 mV per cycle after 1000 cycles at 2 C rate. Moreover, the stress accumulation during cycling is mitigated effectively. This semicoherent OPL strengthens the surface stability and interrupts the counter diffusion of oxygen and oxygen vacancies in LRM cathode materials, which would provide guidance for designing high-energy-density layered cathode materials.
