Abstract
The rocking-chair lithium-ion capacitors (RLICs), composed of a battery-type cathode and capacitive-type anode, alleviates the issue of increased internal resistance caused by electrolyte consumption during the cycling process of the lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). However, the poor conductivity of cathode materials and the mismatch between the cathode and anode are the key issues that hinder its commercial application. In this work, a modification simplification strategy is proposed to tailor the conductivity of the cathode and matching characteristic with the anode. The in situ grown lithium manganate (LMO) is featured with a three-dimensional conductive network constructed by reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The optimized LMO/rGO composite cathode demonstrates an excellent rate performance, lithium-ion diffusion rate, and cycling performance. After assembling an RLICs with activated carbon (AC), the RLICs exhibits an energy density of as high as 239.11 Wh/kg at a power density of 400 W/kg. Even at a power density of 200 kW/kg, its energy density can maintain at 39.9 Wh/kg. These excellent electrochemical performances are mainly attributed to the compounding of LMO with rGO, which not only improves the conductivity of the cathode but also realizes a better matching with the capacitive-type anode. This modification strategy provides a reference for the further development of energy storage devices suitable for actual production conditions and application scenarios.

Abstract
In this work, the properties of a novel electrolyte based on the combination of bio-based ƴ-valerolactone (GVL) solvent with lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB) salt and its use for lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) are presented. It is shown that the 1 m LiBOB in GVL electrolyte displays good transport properties, high thermal stability, and the ability to prevent anodic dissolution. Its impact on the performance of both battery-type and capacitive-type electrodes is evaluated. In this regard, special attention is paid to the filming properties associated with LiBOB and GVL decomposition at the electrode surfaces. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the full-cell devices assembled in this study are the first example of a fluorine-free LIC. These devices exhibit a favorable energy-to-power ratio, delivering 80 Wh kg-1 AM at 10 000 W kg-1 AM along with excellent cycling stability, retaining 80% of the initial capacitance after 25 000 cycles. Furthermore, post-mortem analysis of the LIC electrodes is conducted to gain deeper insights into the degradation mechanisms within the device.

Improving Natural Microcrystalline Graphite Performances by a Dual Modification Strategy toward Practical Application of Lithium Ion Batteries. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15:59552-59560. [PMID: 38088861 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c15484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
Microcrystalline graphite (MG), as a kind of natural graphite (NG), holds great potential for use as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to low raw material cost, good electrolyte compatibility, and relatively long cycle life. Nevertheless, the relatively low reversible capacity and poor initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of the MG anode largely limit its practical application in LIBs. In order to improve the lithium storage capacity of MG, three kinds of oxidant intercalators are applied to treat the original MG, and the as-obtained MG is further modified by a thin carbon layer. The results indicate that using H2SO4-C2H2O4 as oxidant intercalators and subsequent carbon coating layer modification are the optimum techniques, and they can increase the interlayer distance, introduce defects to decrease the volume expansion, and generate channels for fast Li+ diffusion. Meanwhile, the carbon coating layer can reduce the specific surface area of graphite and greatly improve the ICE and cycling performance. Especially, the OEMGC-2 anodes prepared by the dual modification strategies represent a high reversible capacity of 349.4 mA h g-1 at 0.2C with a satisfactory ICE of 90.2%, indicating that the MG can also be considered as a high performance and low-cost anode material of LIBs.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have drawn increasing attention, due to their appealing potential for bridging the performance gap between lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Especially, dual-carbon lithium-ion capacitors (DC-LICs) are even more attractive because of the low cost, high conductivity, and tunable nanostructure/surface chemistry/composition, as well as excellent chemical/electrochemical stability of carbon materials. Based on the well-matched capacity and rate between the cathode and anode, DC-LICs show superior electrochemical performances over traditional LICs and are considered to be one of the most promising alternatives to the current energy storage devices. In particular, the mismatch between the cathode and anode could be further suppressed by applying carbon nanomaterials. Although great progresses of DC-LICs have been achieved, a comprehensive review about the advances of electrode materials is still absent. Herein, in this review, the progresses of traditional and nanosized carbons as cathode/anode materials for DC-LICs are systematically summarized, with an emphasis on their synthesis, structure, morphology, and electrochemical performances. Furthermore, an outlook is tentatively presented, aiming to develop advanced DC-LICs for commercial applications.
