Abstract
Ternary manganese-based oxides, such as CaMn2O4 (CMO) nanofibers fabricated via the electrospinning technique, have the potential to offer higher reversible capacity through conversion reactions in comparison to that of carbon-based anodes. However, its poor electrical conductivity hinders its usage in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Hence, to mitigate this issue, controlled single-step in situ decoration of highly conducting metallic-phase MoS2@CMO nanofibers has been achieved for the first time via the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique and utilized as a binder-free nanocomposite anode for LIBs. Further, the composition of MoS2@CMO nanofibers has also been optimized to attain better electronic and ionic conductivity. The morphological investigation revealed that the flakes of MoS2 nanoflowers are successfully and uniformly decorated over the CMO nanofibers' surface, forming a cactus-type morphology. As a binder-free nanocomposite LIB anode, CMOMS-7 (7 wt % MoS2@CMO) demonstrates a specific capacity of 674 mA h g-1 after 60 cycles at 50 mA g-1 and maintains a capacity of 454 mA h g-1 even after 300 cycles at 1000 mA g-1. Further, the good rate performance (102 mA h g-1 at 5000 mA g-1) of CMOMS-7 can be ascribed to the enhanced electrical conductivity provided by the metallic-phase MoS2. Moreover, the feasibility of CMOMS-7 is thoroughly investigated by using a full Li-ion cell incorporating a binder-free cathode of LiNi0.3Mn0.3Co0.3O2 (NMC). This configuration showcases an impressive energy density of 154 Wh kg-1. Thus, the hierarchical and aligned structure of CMO nanofibers combined with highly conductive MoS2 nanoflowers facilitates charge transportation within the composite electrodes. This synergistic effect significantly enhances the energy density of the conversion-based nanocomposites, making them highly promising anodes for advanced LIBs.

Abstract
Silicon-containing polyester from tetramethoxysilane, ethylene glycol, and o-Phthalic anhydride were used as encapsulating materials for silicon nano powders (SiNP) via electrospinning, with Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as spinning additives. In the correct quantities, SiNP could be well encapsulated in nano fibers (200-400 nm) using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The encapsulating materials were then carbonized to a Si-O-C material at 755 °C (Si@C-SiNF-5 and Si@C-SiNF-10, with different SiNP content). Fiber structure and SiNP crystalline structure were reserved even after high-temperature treatment, as SEM and X-ray diffraction (XRD) verified. When used as lithium ion battery (LIB) anode materials, the cycling stability of SiNPs increased after encapsulation. The capacity of SiNPs decreased to ~10 mAh/g within 30 cycles, while those from Si@C-SiNF-5 and Si@C-SiNF-10 remained over 500 mAh/g at the 30th cycle. We also found that adequate SiNP content is necessary for good encapsulation and better cycling stability. In the anode from Si@C-SiNF-10 in which SiNPs were not well encapsulated, fibers were broken and pulverized as SEM confirmed; thus, its cycling stability is poorer than that from Si@C-SiNF-5.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D-printing technology, is currently integrated in many fields as it possesses an attractive fabrication process. In this work, we deployed the 3D-print stereolithography (SLA) method to print polyurethane acrylate (PUA)-based gel polymer electrolyte (GPE). The printed PUA GPE was then characterized through several techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The printed GPE exhibited high ionic conductivity of 1.24 × 10-3 S cm-1 at low-lithium-salt content (10 wt.%) in ambient temperature and favorable thermal stability to about 300 °C. The FTIR results show that addition of LiClO4 to the polymer matrix caused a shift in carbonyl, ester and amide functional groups. In addition, FTIR deconvolution peaks of LiClO4 show 10 wt.% has the highest amount of free ions, in line with the highest conductivity achieved. Finally, the PUA GPE was printed into 3D complex structure to show SLA flexibility in designing an electrolyte, which could be a potential application in advanced battery fabrication.

Abstract
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is a facile technique to deposit quantum dots (QDs) films, which can be used as the color conversion layers for display applications. To better understand the EPD process, researchers have built many models of the EPD process. However, most of these models lack solid experimental support. Here, by adopting simple yet effective solvent engineering and well-designed experiments, this study proves the Cordelair-Greil model on EPD processes. Moreover, some supplements about this model are made according to practical experiments. The experimental verification of the Cordelair-Greil model is a solid step toward revealing the dynamics of the EPD process. Furthermore, the formation of cracks in EPD deposited QD films is prevented through solvent engineering. This work proves that besides modifying the intrinsic properties of QDs, solvent engineering is also a simple, effective, and low-cost way to study the EPD process and improve the QD film qualities deposited.

Abstract
Si anodes suffer from poor cycling efficiency because of the pulverization induced by volume expansion, lithium trapping in Li-Si alloys, and unfavorable interfacial side reactions with the electrolyte; the comprehensive consideration of the Si anode design is required for their practical deployment. In this article, we develop a cabbage-inspired graphite scaffold to accommodate the volume expansion of silicon particles in interplanar spacing. With further interfacial modification and prelithiation processing, the Si@G/C anode with an areal capacity of 4.4 mA h cm-2 delivers highly reversible cycling at 0.5 C (Coulombic efficiency of 99.9%) and a mitigated volume expansion of 23%. Furthermore, we scale up the synthetic strategy by producing 10 kg of the Si@G/C composite in the pilot line and pair this anode with a LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode in a 1 A h pouch-type cell. The full-cell prototype realizes a robust cyclability over 500 cycles (88% capacity retention) and an energy density of 301.3 W h kg-1 at 0.5 C. Considering the scalable fabrication protocol, holistic electrode formulation design, and harmony integration of key metrics evaluated both in half-cell and full-cell tests, the reversible cycling of the prelithiated silicon species in the graphite scaffold of the composite could enable feasible use of the composite anode in high-energy density lithium batteries.

Abstract
Silicon anodes with an extremely high theoretical specific capacity of 4,200 mAh g-1 have been considered as one of the most promising anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, the large volume expansion during lithiation hinders its practical application. In this work, pomegranate-like Si@SiOx composites were prepared using a simple spray drying process, during which silicon nanoparticles reacted with oxygen and generated SiOx on the surface. The thickness of the SiOx layer was tuned by adjusting the drying temperature. In the unique architecture, the SiOx which serves as the protection layer and the void space in pomegranate-like structure could alleviate the volume expansion during repeated lithium insertion/extraction. As a lithium-ion battery anode, pomegranate-like Si@SiOx composites dried at 180°C delivered a high specific capacity of 1746.5 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles at 500 mA g-1.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) as energy supply and storage systems have been widely used in electronics, electric vehicles, and utility grids. However, there is an increasing demand to enhance the energy density of LIB. Therefore, the development of new electrode materials with high energy density becomes significant. Although many novel materials have been discovered, issues remain as (1) the weak interaction and interface problem between the binder and the active material (metal oxide, Si, Li, S, etc.), (2) large volume change, (3) low ion/electron conductivity, and (4) self-aggregation of active materials during charge and discharge processes. Currently, the binder-free electrode serves as a promising candidate to address the issues above. Firstly, the interface problem of the binder and active materials can be solved by fixing the active material directly to the conductive substrate. Secondly, the large volume expansion of active materials can be accommodated by the porosity of the binder-free electrode. Thirdly, the ion and electron conductivity can be enhanced by the close contact between the conductive substrate and the active material. Therefore, the binder-free electrode generally exhibits excellent electrochemical performances. The traditional manufacture process contains electrochemically inactive binders and conductive materials, which reduces the specific capacity and energy density of the active materials. When the binder and the conductive material are eliminated, the energy density of the battery can be largely improved. This review presents the preparation, application, and outlook of binder-free electrodes. First, different conductive substrates are introduced, which serve as carriers for the active materials. It is followed by the binder-free electrode fabrication method from the perspectives of chemistry, physics, and electricity. Subsequently, the application of the binder-free electrode in the field of the flexible battery is presented. Finally, the outlook in terms of these processing methods and the applications are provided.

Abstract
Silicon as the potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries suffers from huge volume change (up to 400%) during charging/discharging processes. Poor electrical conductivity of silicon also hinders its long-term cycling performance. Herein, we report a two-step ball milling method to prepare nanostructured P-doped Si/graphite composite. Both P-doped Si and coated graphite improved the conductivity by providing significant transport channels for lithium ions and electrons. The graphite skin is able to depress the volume expansion of Si by forming a stable SEI film. The as-prepared composite anode having 50% P-doped Si and 50% graphite exhibits outstanding cyclability with a specific capacity of 883.4 mAh/g after 200 cycles at the current density of 200 mA/g. The cost-effective materials and scalable preparation method make it feasible for large-scale application of the P-doped Si/graphite composite as anode for Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
A comprehensive understanding of the charge/discharge behaviour of high-capacity anode active materials, e.g., Si and Li, is essential for the design and development of next-generation high-performance Li-based batteries. Here, we demonstrate the in situ scanning electron microscopy (in situ SEM) of Si anodes in a configuration analogous to actual lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with an ionic liquid (IL) that is expected to be a functional LIB electrolyte in the future. We discovered that variations in the morphology of Si active materials during charge/discharge processes is strongly dependent on their size and shape. Even the diffusion of atomic Li into Si materials can be visualized using a back-scattering electron imaging technique. The electrode reactions were successfully recorded as video clips. This in situ SEM technique can simultaneously provide useful data on, for example, morphological variations and elemental distributions, as well as electrochemical data.

Abstract
Fe3O4 is regarded as an attractive anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity, natural abundance, and low cost. However, the poor cyclic performance resulting from the low conductivity and huge volume change during cycling impedes its application. Here we have developed a facile electrophoretic deposition route to fabricate the Fe3O4/CNTs (carbon nanotubes)/rGO (reduced graphene oxide) composite electrode, simultaneously achieving material synthesis and electrode assembling. Even without binders, the adhesion and mechanical firmness of the electrode are strong enough to be used for LIB anode. In this specific structure, Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) interconnected by CNTs are sandwiched by rGO layers to form a robust network with good conductivity. The resulting Fe3O4/CNTs/rGO composite electrode exhibits much improved electrochemical performance (high reversible capacity of 540 mAh g-1 at a very high current density of 10 A g-1, and a remarkable capacity of 1080 mAh g-1 can be maintained after 450 cycles at 1 A g-1) compared with that of commercial Fe3O4 NPs electrode.

Abstract
The layer-structured LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 (L523) with high specific capacity and the spinel LiMn2O4 (LMO) with excellent thermostability complement each other in a blended cathode for better heat stability and electrochemical performance. The delithiated LMO starts to react with electrolyte at 160-200 °C to cause structural instability, and the delithiated L523 generates massive heat when its temperature is raised above 275 °C with the electrolyte present, but we found that the blended cathode shows a remarkable improvement in thermal stability since the reaction at 160-200 °C between LMO and the electrolyte disappears, and the total heat generated from the reaction between L523 and the electrolyte is drastically reduced. The reaction between LMO and the electrolyte at 160-200 °C causes structural instability of LMO as a self-accelerating attack from HF. With L523 present, this reaction is eliminated because the H(+) from HF and Li(+) in L523 undergo exchange reaction to prevent further generation of HF. The presence of LMO, however, reduces the total heat generated by L523 reacting with the electrolyte at high temperature. This thermal synergy between LMO and L523 not only improves the thermal safety of the blended cathode but also preserves their structures for better electrochemical performance.

Abstract
We investigate the use of chitosan (CS) as a new cross-linkable and water-soluble binder for the Si anode of Li-ion batteries. In contrast to the traditional binder utilizing a hydrogen bond and/or van der Waals force-linked anode electrodes, CS can easily form a 3D network to limit the movement of Si particles through the cross-linking between the amino groups of CS and the dialdehyde of glutaraldehyde (GA). Chemical, mechanical, and morphological analyses are conducted by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, tensile testing, and scanning electron microscopy. The cross-linked Si/CS-GA anode exhibits an initial discharge capacity of 2782 mAh g(-1) with a high initial Coulombic efficiency of 89% and maintained a capacity of 1969 mAh g(-1) at the current density of 500 mA g(-1) over 100 cycles.

Abstract
Silicon has been considered as one of the most promising anode material alternates for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, because of its high theoretical capacity, environmental friendliness, high safety, low cost, etc. Nevertheless, silicon-based anode materials (especially bulk silicon) suffer from severe capacity fading resulting from their low intrinsic electrical conductivity and great volume variation during lithiation/delithiation processes. To address this challenge, a few special constructions from nanostructures to anchored, flexible, sandwich, core-shell, porous and even integrated structures, have been well designed and fabricated to effectively improve the cycling performance of silicon-based anodes. In view of the fast development of silicon-based anode materials, we summarize their recent progress in structural design principles, preparation methods, morphological characteristics and electrochemical performance by highlighting the material structure. We also point out the associated problems and challenges faced by these anodes and introduce some feasible strategies to further boost their electrochemical performance. Furthermore, we give a few suggestions relating to the developing trends to better mature their practical applications in next-generation lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
A key limitation to the practical incorporation of nanostructured materials into emerging applications is the challenge of achieving low-cost, high throughput, and highly replicable scalable nanomanufacturing techniques to produce functional materials. Here, we report a benchtop roll-to-roll technique that builds upon the use of binary solutions of nanomaterials and liquid electrophoretic assembly to rapidly construct hybrid materials for battery design applications. We demonstrate surfactant-free hybrid mixtures of carbon nanotubes, silicon nanoparticles, MoS2 nanosheets, carbon nanohorns, and graphene nanoplatelets. Roll-to-roll electrophoretic assembly from these solutions enables the controlled fabrication of homogeneous coatings of these nanostructures that maintain chemical and physical properties defined by the synergistic combination of nanomaterials utilized without adverse effects of surfactants or impurities that typically limit liquid nanomanufacturing routes. To demonstrate the utility of this nanomanufacturing approach, we employed roll-to-roll electrophoretic processing to fabricate both positive and negative electrodes for lithium ion batteries in less than 30 s. The optimized full-cell battery, containing active materials of prelithiated silicon nanoparticles and MoS2 nanosheets, was assessed to exhibit energy densities of 167 Wh/kgcell(-1) and power densities of 9.6 kW/kgcell(-1).
