Abstract
To meet the ever-increasing demand for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), it is imperative to develop next-generation anode materials. Compared to conventional carbon-based anodes, Si-based materials are promising due to their high theoretical capacity and reasonable cost. SiOx, as a Si-derivative anode candidate, is particularly encouraging for its durable cycling life, the practical application of which is, however, severely hindered by low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) that leads to continuous lithium consumption. What is worse, low ICE also easily triggers a terrible chain reaction causing bad cycling stability. To further develop SiOx anode, researchers have obtained in-depth understandings regarding its working/failing mechanisms so as to further propose effective remedies for low ICE mitigation. In this sense, herein recent studies investigating the possible causes that fundamentally result in low ICE of SiOx, based on which a variety of solutions addressing the low ICE issue are discussed and summarized, are timely summarized. This perspective provides valuable insights into the rational design of high ICE SiOx anodes and paves the way toward industrial application of SiOx as the next generation LIB anode.

Abstract
Silicon-based anodes have been attracting attention due to their high theoretical specific capacity, but their low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) seriously hinders their commercial application. Direct contact prelithiation is considered to be one of the effective means of solving this problem. By means of prelithiation, a specific solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) was constructed, which inhibited the volume expansion of the SiO/C composite anode during prelithiation and reduced the local current generated when the lithium source was in contact with the anode. On the one hand, it can reduce the side reactions derived from the decomposition of electrolytes in the prelithiation process, and on the other hand, it can slow down the prelithiation process and inhibit the volume expansion of the SiO/C composite anode in the prelithiation process. The results of XPS, TOF-SIMS, and other tests show that the use of an electrolyte whose main component is LiTFSI can construct SEI film whose main component is LiF, which to a certain extent can slow down the rate of prelithiation, reduce the local current generated when the lithium source is in contact with the negative electrode, minimize the occurrence of side reactions, and inhibit the volume expansion of the negative electrode material. The full battery assembled with NCM111 positive electrode still exhibits 83.5% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 1 C current density. These studies provide some ideas to enhance the performance of silicon-based materials.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202404637. [PMID: 38644436 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202404637] [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: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
Application of silicon-based anodes is significantly challenged by low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and poor cyclability. Traditional pre-lithiation reagents often pose safety concerns due to their unstable chemical nature. Achieving a balance between water-stability and high ICE in prelithiated silicon is a critical issue. Here, we present a lithium-enriched silicon/graphite material with an ultra-high ICE of ≥110 % through a high-stable lithium pre-storage methodology. Lithium pre-storage prepared a nano-drilled graphite material with surficial lithium functional groups, which can form chemical bonds with adjacent silicon during high-temperature sintering. This results in an unexpected O-Li-Si interaction, leading to in situ pre-lithiation of silicon nanoparticles and providing high stability in air and water. Additionally, the lithium-enriched silicon/graphite materials impart a combination of high ICE, high specific capacity (620 mAh g-1), and long cycling stability (>400 cycles). This study opens up a promising avenue for highly air- and water-stable silicon anode prelithiation methods.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the predominant energy storage power source. However, the urgent issues of enhancing electrochemical performance, prolonging lifetime, preventing thermal runaway-caused fires, and intelligent application are obstacles to their applications. Herein, bio-inspired electrodes owning spatiotemporal management of self-healing, fast ion transport, fire-extinguishing, thermoresponsive switching, recycling, and flexibility are overviewed comprehensively, showing great promising potentials in practical application due to the significantly enhanced durability and thermal safety of LIBs. Taking advantage of the self-healing core-shell structures, binders, capsules, or liquid metal alloys, these electrodes can maintain the mechanical integrity during the lithiation-delithiation cycling. After the incorporation of fire-extinguishing binders, current collectors, or capsules, flame retardants can be released spatiotemporally during thermal runaway to ensure safety. Thermoresponsive switching electrodes are also constructed though adding thermally responsive components, which can rapidly switch LIB off under abnormal conditions and resume their functions quickly when normal operating conditions return. Finally, the challenges of bio-inspired electrode designs are presented to optimize the spatiotemporal management of LIBs. It is anticipated that the proposed electrodes with spatiotemporal management will not only promote industrial application, but also strengthen the fundamental research of bionics in energy storage.

Abstract
Presodiation has shown great promise in compensating sodium storage losses. In the absence of a mechanistic understanding of how presodiation affects the surface of an electrode material, packaging optimization is restricted. Focusing on interfaces, we illustrate the working principle of presodiation in virtue of short-circuiting internal circuits. The presodiated carbon nanotubes (PS-CNTs) provide a thin, denser, and more robust solid electrolyte interfacial layer, enabling a high initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE), high power density, and cycling stability with the merits of uniformly distributed NaF. As a result, our assembled sodium-ion battery (SIB) full cell with PS-CNT has an ICE of 91.6% and an energy density of 226 Wh kg-1, which was superior to the pristine CNT control electrode (ICE of 42.9% and energy density of 163 Wh kg-1). The gained insights can be practically applied to directly promote the commercial uses of carbon-based materials in sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Sacrificial cathode additives have emerged as a tempting strategy to compensate the initial capacity loss (ICL) in Li-ion batteries (LIBs) manufacturing. However, the utilization of sacrificial cathode additives inevitably brings residuals, side reactions, and negative impacts in which relevant researches are still in the early stage. In this study, we conduct a systematic investigation on the effects of employing a nickel-based sacrificial additive, Li2Cu0.1Ni0.9O2 (LCNO), and propose a feasible strategy to achieve advantageous surface reconstruction on LCNO. Specifically, we build a Li5AlO4 (LAO) coating layer on the LCNO through dry ball milling and annealing treatment. This process not only consumes surface residual lithium compounds on LCNO but also demonstrates minimal detrimental effects on its performance. The surface reconstructed LCNO (SR-LCNO) reveals mitigated gas generation and suppressed structure degradation under high working voltage (>4.1 V), thereby causing negligible negative effects on the cycling capability and rate performance of commercial cathode materials. The full cells containing SR-LCNO deliver significantly improved electrochemical properties, with no observed exacerbation of side reactions. This work awakes the awareness of the prudent utilization of sacrificial cathode additives and provides an effective strategy for harmless pre-lithiation via surface reconstructed sacrificial cathode additives.

Abstract
Commercial batteries have been largely applied in mobile electronics, electric vehicles, and scalable energy storage systems. However, thermal runaway of batteries still obstructs the reliability of electric equipment. Considering this, building upon recent investigations of energy thermal safety, commercially available organogel fiber-based implantable sensors have been developed through 3D printing technology for first operando implantable monitoring of cell temperature. The printed fibers present excellent reliability and superelasticity because of internal supramolecular cross-linking. High temperature sensitivity (-39.84% °C-1/-1.557% °C-1) within a wide range (-15 to 80 °C) is achieved, and the corresponding mechanism is clarified based on in situ temperature-dependent Raman technology. Furthermore, taking the pouch cell as an example, combined with finite element analysis, the real-time observation system of cell temperature is successfully demonstrated through an implanted sensor with wireless Bluetooth transmission. This enlightening approach paves the way for achieving safety monitoring and smart warnings for various electric equipment.

Abstract
Low Coulombic efficiency, low-capacity retention, and short cycle life are the primary challenges faced by various metal-ion batteries due to the loss of corresponding active metal. Practically, these issues can be significantly ameliorated by compensating for the loss of active metals using pre-metallization techniques. Herein, the state-of-the-art development in various pr-emetallization techniques is summarized. First, the origin of pre-metallization is elaborated and the Coulombic efficiency of different battery materials is compared. Second, different pre-metallization strategies, including direct physical contact, chemical strategies, electrochemical method, overmetallized approach, and the use of electrode additives are summarized. Third, the impact of pre-metallization on batteries, along with its role in improving Coulombic efficiency is discussed. Fourth, the various characterization techniques required for mechanistic studies in this field are outlined, from laboratory-level experiments to large scientific device. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities of pre-metallization technology in improving Coulombic efficiency and cycle stability for various metal-ion batteries are discussed. In particular, the positive influence of pre-metallization reagents is emphasized in the anode-free battery systems. It is envisioned that this review will inspire the development of high-performance energy storage systems via the effective pre-metallization technologies.
