Abstract
'Anode-free' Li metal batteries offer the highest possible energy density but face low Li coulombic efficiency when operated in carbonate electrolytes. Here we report a performance improvement of anode-free Li metal batteries using p-block tin octoate additive in the carbonate electrolyte. We show that the preferential adsorption of the octoate moiety on the Cu substrate induces the construction of a carbonate-less protective layer, which inhibits the side reactions and contributes to the uniform Li plating. In the mean time, the reduction of Sn2+ at the initial charging process builds a stable lithophilic layer of Cu6Sn5 alloy and Sn, improving the affinity between the Li and the Cu substrate. Notably, anode-free Li metal pouch cells with tin octoate additive demonstrate good cycling stability with a high coulombic efficiency of ~99.1%. Furthermore, this in situ p-block layer plating strategy is also demonstrated with other types of p-block metal octoate, as well as a Na metal battery system, demonstrating the high level of universality.

Overcoming Chemical and Mechanical Instabilities in Lithium Metal Anodes with Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Artificial SEI Layer. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024:e2407381. [PMID: 39219213 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202407381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2024] [Revised: 08/04/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Construction of a robust artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer has proposed an effective strategy to overcome the instability of the lithium (Li). However, existing artificial SEI layers inadequately controlled ion distribution, leading to dendritic growth and penetration. Furthermore, the environmental impact of the manufacturing process and materials of the artificial layer is often overlooked. In this work, a chemically and physically reinforced membrane (C-Li@P) composed of the biocompatible Li+ coordinated carboxymethyl guar gum (CMGG) and polyacrylamide (PAM) polymers serves as an artificial SEI membrane for dendrite-free Li. This membrane with hollow channels not only directs ion flux along the interspace of fibers, fostering uniform Li plating but also induces a desirable interface chemistry. Consequently, artificial SEI membrane-covered Li exhibits stable electrochemical plating/stripping reactions, surpassing the cycle life of ≈750% of bare Li. It demonstrates exceptional capacity retention of ≈93.9%, ≈88.1%, and ≈79.18% in full cells paired with LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811), LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 (NMC622) and S cathodes, respectively over 200 cycles at 1 C rate. Additionally, the water-based green manufacturing and biodegradability of the membrane demonstrated the sustainable development and disposal of electrodes. This work provides a comprehensive framework for the design of an artificial layer chemically and physically regulating dendritic growth.

Abstract
We introduce a flexible microscale all-fiber-optic Raman probe which can be embedded into devices to enable operando in situ spectroscopy. The facile-constructed probe is composed of a nested antiresonant nodeless hollow-core fiber combined with an integrated high refractive index barium titanate microlens. Pump laser 785 nm excitation and near-infrared collection are independently characterized, demonstrating an excitation spot of full-width-half-maximum 1.1 μm. Since this is much smaller than the effective collection area, it has the greatest influence on the collected Raman scattering. Our characterization scheme provides a suitable protocol for testing the efficacy of these fiber probes using various combinations of fiber types and microspheres. Raman measurements on a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy sample and a copper battery electrode demonstrate the viability of the fiber probe as an alternative to bulk optic Raman microscopes, giving comparable collection to a 10 objective, thus paving the way for operando Raman studies in applications such as lithium battery monitoring.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2404245.

Abstract
The realization of lithium-metal (Li) batteries faces challenges due to dendritic Li deposition causing internal short-circuit and low Coulombic efficiency. In this regard, the Li-deposition stability largely depends on the electrolyte, which reacts with Li to form a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) with diverse physico-chemical properties, and dictates the interphasial kinetics. Therefore, optimizing the electrolyte for stability and performance remains pivotal. Hereof, glyme ethers are an emerging class of electrolytes, showing improved compatibility with metallic Li and enhanced stability in Li─Air and Li─Sulfur batteries. Yet, the criteria for selecting glyme solvents, particularly concerning Li deposition and dissolution processes, remain unclear. The SEI characteristics and Li deposition/dissolution processes are investigated in glyme-ether-based electrolytes with varying chain lengths, using lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) and lithium nitrate (LiNO₃) salts under high capacity and limited electrolyte conditions. Longer glymes led to more homogeneous SEI, particularly pronounced with LiNO₃, minimizing surface roughness during stripping, and promoting compact Li deposits. Higher reductive stability, resulting in homogeneous interphasial properties, and slower kinetics due to high desolvation barrier and viscosity, underline stable Li growth in longer glymes. This study clarifies factors guiding the selection of glyme ether-based electrolytes in Li metal batteries, offering insights for next-generation energy storage systems.

Abstract
Electronic waste (e-waste) and diabetes are global challenges to modern societies. However, solving these two challenges together has been challenging until now. Herein, we propose a laser-induced transfer method to fabricate portable glucose sensors by recycling copper from e-waste. We bring up a laser-induced full-automatic fabrication method for synthesizing continuous heterogeneous CuxO (h-CuxO) nano-skeletons electrode for glucose sensing, offering rapid (< 1 min), clean, air-compatible, and continuous fabrication, applicable to a wide range of Cu-containing substrates. Leveraging this approach, h-CuxO nano-skeletons, with an inner core predominantly composed of Cu2O with lower oxygen content, juxtaposed with an outer layer rich in amorphous CuxO (a-CuxO) with higher oxygen content, are derived from discarded printed circuit boards. When employed in glucose detection, the h-CuxO nano-skeletons undergo a structural evolution process, transitioning into rigid Cu2O@CuO nano-skeletons prompted by electrochemical activation. This transformation yields exceptional glucose-sensing performance (sensitivity: 9.893 mA mM-1 cm-2; detection limit: 0.34 μM), outperforming most previously reported glucose sensors. Density functional theory analysis elucidates that the heterogeneous structure facilitates gluconolactone desorption. This glucose detection device has also been downsized to optimize its scalability and portability for convenient integration into people's everyday lives.

Abstract
The performance of next-generation particle accelerators has been adversely affected by the occurrence of electron multipacting and vacuum instabilities. Particularly, minimization of secondary electron emission (SEE) and reduction of surface resistance are two critical issues to prevent some of the phenomena such as beam instability, reduction of beam lifetime, and residual gas ionization, all of which occur as a result of these adverse effects in next-generation particle accelerators. For the first time, novel quinary alloy Ti-Zr-V-Hf-Cu non-evaporable getter (NEG) films were prepared on stainless steel substrates by using the direct current magnetron sputtering technique to reduce surface resistance and SEE yield with an efficient pumping performance. Based on the experimental findings, the surface resistance of the quinary Ti-Zr-V-Hf-Cu NEG films was established to be 6.6 × 10-7 Ω m for sample no. 1, 6.4 × 10-7 Ω m for sample no. 2, and 6.2 × 10-7 Ω m for sample no. 3. The δmax measurements recorded for Ti-Zr-V-Hf-Cu NEG films are 1.33 for sample no. 1, 1.34 for sample no. 2, and 1.35 for sample no. 3. Upon heating the Ti-Zr-V-Hf-Cu NEG film to 150 °C, the XPS spectra results indicated that there are significant changes in the chemical states of its constituent metals, Ti, Zr, V, Hf, and Cu, and these chemical state changes continued with heating at 180 °C. This implies that upon heating at 150 °C, the Ti-Zr-V-Hf-Cu NEG film becomes activated, showing that novel quinary NEG films can be effectively employed as getter pumps for generating ultra-high vacuum conditions.

Abstract
The renewable energy industry demands rechargeable batteries that can be manufactured at low cost using abundant resources while offering high energy density, good safety, wide operating temperature windows, and long lifespans. Utilizing fluorine chemistry to redesign battery configurations/components is considered a critical strategy to fulfill these requirements due to the natural abundance, robust bond strength, and extraordinary electronegativity of fluorine and the high free energy of fluoride formation, which enables the fluorinated components with cost effectiveness, nonflammability, and intrinsic stability. In particular, fluorinated materials and electrode|electrolyte interphases have been demonstrated to significantly affect reaction reversibility/kinetics, safety, and temperature tolerance of rechargeable batteries. However, the underlining principles governing material design and the mechanistic insights of interphases at the atomic level have been largely overlooked. This review covers a wide range of topics from the exploration of fluorine-containing electrodes, fluorinated electrolyte constituents, and other fluorinated battery components for metal-ion shuttle batteries to constructing fluoride-ion batteries, dual-ion batteries, and other new chemistries. In doing so, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure-property interactions, the features of fluorinated interphases, and cutting-edge techniques for elucidating the role of fluorine chemistry in rechargeable batteries. Further, we present current challenges and promising strategies for employing fluorine chemistry, aiming to advance the electrochemical performance, wide temperature operation, and safety attributes of rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Lithium metal anodes have the potential to be a disruptive technology for next-generation batteries with high energy densities, but their electrochemical performance is limited by a lack of fundamental understanding into the mechanistic origins that underpin their poor reversibility, morphological evolution (including dendrite growth), and interfacial instability. The goal of this perspective is to summarize the current state-of-the-art understanding of these phenomena, and highlight knowledge gaps where additional research is needed. The various stages of cycling are described sequentially, including nucleation, growth, open-circuit rest periods, and electrodissolution (stripping). A direct comparison of lessons learned from liquid and solid-state electrolyte systems is made throughout the discussion, providing cross-cutting insights between these research communities. Major themes of the discussion include electro-chemo-mechanical coupling, insights from in situ/operando analysis, and the interplay between experimental observations and computational modeling. Finally, a series of fundamental research questions are proposed to identify critical knowledge gaps and inform future research directions.

Abstract
The demand for electric vehicles with extended ranges has created a renaissance of interest in replacing the common metal-ion with higher energy-density metal-anode batteries. However, the potential battery safety issues associated with lithium metal must be addressed to enable lithium metal battery chemistries. A considerable performance gap between lithium (Li) symmetric cells and practical Li batteries motivated us to explore the correlation between the shape of voltage traces and degradation. We coupled impedance spectroscopy and operando NMR and used the new approach to show that transient (i.e., soft) shorts form in realistic conditions for battery applications; however, they are typically overlooked, as their electrochemical signatures are often not distinct. The typical rectangular-shaped voltage trace, widely considered ideal, was proven, under the conditions studied here, to be a result of soft shorts. Recoverable soft-shorted cells were demonstrated during a symmetric cell polarisation experiment, defining a new type of critical current density: the current density at which the soft shorts are not reversible. Moreover, we demonstrated that soft shorts, detected via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and validated via operando NMR, are predictive towards the formation of hard shorts, showing the potential use of EIS as a relatively low-cost and non-destructive method for early detection of catastrophic shorts and battery failure while demonstrating the strength of operando NMR as a research tool for metal plating in lithium batteries.

Abstract
The lithium-air battery (LAB) is arguably the battery with the highest energy density, but also a battery with significant challenges to be overcome before it can be used commercially in practical devices. Here, we discuss experimental approaches developed by some of the authors to understand the function and failure of lithium-oxygen batteries. For example, experiments in which nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to quantify dissolved oxygen concentrations and diffusivity are described. 17O magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra of electrodes extracted from batteries at different states of charge (SOC) allowed the electrolyte decomposition products at each stage to be determined. For instance, the formation of Li2CO3 and LiOH in a dimethoxyethane (DME) solvent and their subsequent removal on charging was followed. Redox mediators have been used to chemically reduce oxygen or to chemically oxidise Li2O2 in order to prevent electrode clogging by insulating compounds, which leads to lower capacities and rapid degradation; the studies of these mediators represent an area where NMR and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies could play a role in unravelling reaction mechanisms. Finally, recently developed coupled in situ NMR and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) are used to characterise the charge transport mechanism in lithium symmetric cells and to distinguish between electronic and ionic transport, demonstrating the formation of transient (soft) shorts in common lithium-oxygen electrolytes. More stable solid electrolyte interphases are formed under an oxygen atmosphere, which helps stabilise the lithium anode on cycling.

Abstract
Formation cycling is a critical process aimed at improving the performance of lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries during subsequent use. Achieving highly reversible Li-metal anodes, which would boost battery energy density, is a formidable challenge. Here, formation cycling and its impact on the subsequent cycling are largely unexplored. Through solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy experiments, we reveal the critical role of the Li-ion diffusion dynamics between the electrodeposited Li-metal (ED-Li) and the as-formed solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The most stable cycling performance is realized after formation cycling at a relatively high current density, causing an optimum in Li-ion diffusion over the Li-metal-SEI interface. We can relate this to a specific balance in the SEI chemistry, explaining the lasting impact of formation cycling. Thereby, this work highlights the importance and opportunities of regulating initial electrochemical conditions for improving the stability and life cycle of lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a layered redox-active, antiferromagnetic metal organic semiconductor crystals with the chemical formula [Cu(H2 O)2 V(µ-O)(PPA)2 ] (where PPA is phenylphosphonate). The crystal structure of [Cu(H2 O)2 V(µ-O)(PPA)2 ] shows that the metal phosphonate layers are separated by phenyl groups of the phenyl phosphonate linker. Tauc plotting of diffuse reflectance spectra indicates that [Cu(H2 O)2 V(µ-O)(PPA)2 ] has an indirect band gap of 2.19 eV. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra indicate a complex landscape of energy states with PL peaks at 1.8 and 2.2 eV. [Cu(H2 O)2 V(µ-O)(PPA)2 ] has estimated hybrid ionic and electronic conductivity values between 0.13 and 0.6 S m-1 . Temperature-dependent magnetization measurements show that [Cu(H2 O)2 V(µ-O)(PPA)2 ] exhibits short range antiferromagnetic order between Cu(II) and V(IV) ions. [Cu(H2 O)2 V(µ-O)(PPA)2 ] is also photoluminescent with photoluminescence quantum yield of 0.02%. [Cu(H2 O)2 V(µ-O)(PPA)2 ] shows high electrochemical, and thermal stability.

Abstract
The development of "anode-free" lithium-metal batteries with high energy densities is, at present, mainly limited by the poor control of the nucleation of lithium directly on the copper current collector, especially in conventional carbonate electrolytes. It is therefore essential to improve the understanding of the lithium nucleation process and its interactions with the copper substrate. In this study, it is shown that diffusion of lithium into the copper substrate, most likely via the grain boundaries, can significantly influence the nucleation process. Such diffusion makes it more difficult to obtain a great number of homogeneously distributed lithium nuclei on the copper surface and thus leads to inhomogeneous electrodeposition. It is, however, demonstrated that the nucleation of lithium on copper is significantly improved if an initial chemical prelithiation of the copper surface is performed. This prelithiation saturates the copper surface with lithium and hence decreases the influence of lithium diffusion via the grain boundaries. In this way, the lithium nucleation can be made to take place more homogenously, especially when a short potentiostatic nucleation pulse that can generate a large number of nuclei on the surface of the copper substrate is applied.

Abstract
Anode-free lithium-metal batteries (AFLMBs) have the potential to double the energy density of Li-ion batteries, but face the challenges of mossy dendritic lithium plating and an unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Previous studies have shown that the AFLMBs with an electrolyte containing lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) salt outperform those with lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), but the mechanism behind this improvement is not fully understood. In this study, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profile analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were conducted to investigate the SEI on plated Li from the two conducting salts and their evolution in Cu‖NMC full cells during cycling. XPS results revealed that an inorganic-rich SEI layer is formed in the cell with LiDFOB-based electrolyte, with a low carbon/oxygen ratio of 0.56 compared to 1.42 in the LiPF6-based cell. With the inorganic-rich SEI, a dense electroplated Li with a shining surface on the Cu substrate can be retained after ten cycles. The inorganic-rich SEI enhances the reversibility of Li plating and stripping, with a high average CE of ∼98% and a stable charge/discharge voltage profile. The changes in SEI resistance and cathode electrolyte interphase resistance are more prominent compared to the changes in solution and charge transfer resistances, which further validate the role of the passivation films on Li deposits and NMC cathode surfaces in stabilizing AFLMB cycling performance.

Abstract
Due to the widespread employment of carbon materials in novel dual-ion batteries (DIBs) with high energy density, they possess the potential for large-scale energy storage and are inexpensive and environmentally friendly. However, drawbacks such as Al current collector corrosion and significant self-weight, as well as lithium metal abuse and poor deposition reversibility, impair the energy density and cycle performance of lithium-graphite DIBs (Li-G DIBs), severely limiting their application potential. Therefore, an integrated electrode structure design was proposed. That is, the flexible graphite and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) composite cathode (GSC), which is light-weight and self-supporting, and the self-supporting lithium metal anode, which is loaded on the flexible carbon cloth (CC) derived from waste mask (Li@CC), were prepared. Not only were the impacts of current collector corrosion and active material exfoliation avoided on the electrochemical performance, but the areal loading of Li metal was also regulated and its reversibility of deposition enhanced. At a current density of 200 mA g-1 , the constructed Li@CC//GSC full cell could release a specific capacity of 100.5 mAh g-1 , and the capacity retention rate after 300 cycles was greater than 80 %. Moreover, the fabricated flexible Li@CC//GSC full cell is not only recyclable and produces less environmental pollution but also has potential applications in wearable devices.

Abstract
The Mo/Fe nitrogenase enzyme is unique in its ability to efficiently reduce dinitrogen to ammonia at atmospheric pressures and room temperature. Should an artificial electrolytic device achieve the same feat, it would revolutionize fertilizer production and even provide an energy-dense, truly carbon-free fuel. This Review provides a coherent comparison of recent progress made in dinitrogen fixation on solid electrodes, homogeneous catalysts and nitrogenases. Specific emphasis is placed on systems for which there is unequivocal evidence that dinitrogen reduction has taken place. By establishing the cross-cutting themes and synergies between these systems, we identify viable avenues for future research.

Abstract
The formation of inactive lithium by side reactions with liquid electrolyte contributes to cell failure of lithium metal batteries. To inhibit the formation and growth of inactive lithium, further understanding of the formation mechanisms and composition of inactive lithium are needed. Here we study the impact of gas producing reactions on the formation of inactive lithium using ethylene carbonate as a case study. Ethylene carbonate is a common electrolyte component used with graphite-based anodes but is incompatible with Li metal anodes. Using mass spectrometry titrations combined with 13C and 2H isotopic labeling, we reveal that ethylene carbonate decomposition continuously releases ethylene gas, which further reacts with lithium metal to form the electrochemically inactive species LiH and Li2C2. In addition, phase-field simulations suggest the non-ionically conducting gaseous species could result in an uneven distribution of lithium ions, detrimentally enhancing the formation of dendrites and dead Li. By optimizing the electrolyte composition, we selectively suppress the formation of ethylene gas to limit the formation of LiH and Li2C2 for both Li metal and graphite-based anodes.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries based on Li-S chemistry show promise as being possible for next-generation energy storage devices because of their ultrahigh capacities and energy densities. Research over the past decade has demonstrated that the morphology of lithium polysulfides (LPSs) in electrolytes (soluble or insoluble) plays a decisive role in battery performance. Early studies have focused mainly on inhibiting the dissolution of LPSs and invested considerable effort to realize this objective. However, in recent years, a completely different view that the dissolution of LPSs during battery discharge/charge should be promoted has emerged. At this critical juncture in the large-scale application of Li-S batteries, it is time to summarize and discuss both sides of the contradiction. Herein, an overview of these two opposite views pertaining to soluble and insoluble LPSs, including their historical environment, classical strategies, advantages, and disadvantages. Finally, the future morphology of LPSs in Li-S batteries is predicted based on a multiangle review of research studies conducted thus far, and the reasoning behind this conjecture is thoroughly discussed.

Abstract
The uncontrollable formation of polymorphous Li deposits, e.g., whiskers, mosses, or dendrites resulting from nonuniform interfacial current distribution and internal stress release in the upward direction on the conventional current collector (e.g., Cu foil) of Li metal rechargeable batteries with a lithium-metal-free negatrode (LMFRBs), leads to rapid performance degradation or serious safety problems. The 3D carbon nanotubes (CNTs) skeleton has been proven to effectively reduce the current density and eliminate the internal accumulated stress. However, remarkable electrolyte decomposition, inherent Li source consumption due to repeated SEI formation, and Li+ intercalation in CNTs limit the application of 3D CNTs skeleton. Thus, it is necessary to avoid the side effects of the 3D CNTs skeleton and retain uniform interfacial current distribution and stress mitigation. In this work, we integrate the CNTs network with a soft functional polymer polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to form a relatively dense coating layer on Cu foil, which can shield the contact between the internal surface of the 3D CNTs framework and the electrolyte. Simultaneously, the Li-F-rich SEI resulting from the partial reduction of PVDF with deposited Li and the soft nature of the coating layer release the accumulation of internal stress in the horizontal direction, resulting in mosses/whisker-free Li deposition. Thus, improved Li deposition/dissolution and stable cycling performance of the LMFRBs can be achieved.

Abstract
Anode-free batteries (AFB) have attracted increasing interest in recent times because they allow the elimination of the conventional anode from the cell, exploiting lithium inventory from a lithiated cathode. This implies a much simpler, cost-effective, and sustainable approach. The AFB configuration with liquid electrolytes is being explored widely in research but rarely using solid electrolytes. One of the main issues of AFB is the poor reversibility of the lithium-plating/striping process at the anode side. Therefore, in this work, different metal foils have been tested as anode current collectors (CC), and copper foil has been selected as the most promising one. Surface modifications of the selected copper foil have been achieved by its coating using composite layers made of carbon and different metal nanoparticles—such as Ag, Sn, or Zn—in different proportions and with different amounts of a binder. The impact of such coatings and their thickness on the electrochemical performance of single-layer solid-state anode-free pouch cells, based on a PEO electrolyte and a LiFePO4 cathode has been systematically studied. Consequently, a post-mortem analysis of the investigated solid-state AFB is also presented, trying to identify and elucidate possible failure mechanisms to enhance the electrochemical performance of solid-state AFB in the future.

Abstract
The solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a key role in the stability of lithium-ion batteries as the SEI prevents the continuous degradation of the electrolyte at the anode. The SEI acts as an insulating layer for electron transfer, still allowing the ionic flux through the layer. We combine the feedback and multi-frequency alternating-current modes of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) for the first time to assess quantitatively the local electronic and ionic properties of the SEI varying the SEI formation conditions and the used electrolytes in the field of Li-ion batteries (LIB). Correlations between the electronic and ionic properties of the resulting SEI on a model Cu electrode demonstrates the unique feasibility of the proposed strategy to provide the two essential properties of an SEI: ionic and electronic conductivity in dependence on the formation conditions, which is anticipated to exhibit a significant impact on the field of LIBs.
