Abstract
To meet the growing demand for energy storage, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with fast charging capabilities has emerged as a critical technology. The electrode materials affect the rate performance significantly. Organic electrodes with structural flexibility support fast lithium-ion transport and are considered promising candidates for fast-charging LIBs. However, it is a challenge to create organic electrodes that can cycle steadily and reach high energy density in a few minutes. To solve this issue, accelerating the transport of electrons and lithium ions in the electrode is the key. Here, it is demonstrated that a ferrocene-based polymer electrode (Fc-SO3Li) can be used as a fast-charging organic electrode for LIBs. Thanks to its molecular architecture, LIBs with Fc-SO3Li show exceptional cycling stability (99.99% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles) and reach an energy density of 183 Wh kg-1 in 72 seconds. Moreover, the composite material through in situ polymerization with Fc-SO3Li and 50 wt % carbon nanotube (denoted as Fc-SO3Li-CNT50) achieved optimized electron and ion transport pathways. After 10 000 cycles at a high current density of 50C, it delivered a high energy density of 304 Wh kg-1. This study provides valuable insights into designing cathode materials for LIBs that combine high power and ultralong cycle life.

Retarding anion migration for alleviating concentration polarization towards stable polymer lithium-metal batteries. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2024; 69:1706-1715. [PMID: 38616150 DOI: 10.1016/j.scib.2024.03.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
Traditional dual-ion lithium salts have been widely used in solid polymer lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). Nevertheless, concentration polarization caused by uncontrolled migration of free anions has severely caused the growth of lithium dendrites. Although single-ion conductor polymers (SICP) have been developed to reduce concentration polarization, the poor ionic conductivity caused by low carrier concentration limits their application. Herein, a dual-salt quasi-solid polymer electrolyte (QSPE), containing the SICP network as a salt and traditional dual-ion lithium salt, is designed for retarding the movement of free anions and simultaneously providing sufficient effective carriers to alleviate concentration polarization. The dual salt network of this designed QSPE is prepared through in-situ crosslinking copolymerization of SICP monomer, regular ionic conductor, crosslinker with the presence of the dual-ion lithium salt, delivering a high lithium-ion transference number (0.75) and satisfactory ionic conductivity (1.16 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 30 °C). Comprehensive characterizations combined with theoretical calculation demonstrate that polyanions from SICP exerts a potential repulsive effect on the transport of free anions to reduce concentration polarization inhibiting lithium dendrites. As a consequence, the Li||LiFePO4 cell achieves a long-cycle stability for 2000 cycles and a 90% capacity retention at 30 °C. This work provides a new perspective for reducing concentration polarization and simultaneously enabling enough lithium-ions migration for high-performance polymer LMBs.

A bipolar organic molecule towards the anion/cation-hosting cathode compatible with polymer electrolytes for quasi-solid-state dual-ion batteries. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 663:656-664.

Abstract
Ion concentration and mobility are tightly associated with the ionic conductance of polymer electrolytes in solid-state lithium batteries. However, the anions involved in the movement are irrelevant to energy generation and cause uncontrolled dendritic growth and concentration polarization. In the current study, we proposed the strategy of using a bipolar organic molecule as the anion/cation-hosting cathode to expand the active charge carriers of polymer electrolytes. As a proof-of-concept demonstration of the novel strategy, a bipolar phthalocyanine derivative (2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octamethoxyphthalocyaninato) Ni(II) (NiPc-(OH)8) that could successively store anions and cations was used as the cathode hosting material in quasi-solid-state dual-ion batteries (QSSDIBs). Interestingly, peripheral polyhydroxyl substituents could build a compatible interface with poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene-based gel polymer electrolytes (PVDF-HFP). As expected, NiPc-(OH)8 displays a high specific capacity of 248.2 mAh/g (at 50 mA g-1) and improved cyclic stability compared with that in liquid electrolyte. This study provides a solution to the issue of anion migration and could open another way to build high-performance QSSDIBs.

Abstract
Subnanometer pores/channels (SNPCs) play crucial roles in regulating electrochemical redox reactions for rechargeable batteries. The delicately designed and tailored porous structure of SNPCs not only provides ample space for ion storage but also facilitates efficient ion diffusion within the electrodes in batteries, which can greatly improve the electrochemical performance. However, due to current technological limitations, it is challenging to synthesize and control the quality, storage, and transport of nanopores at the subnanometer scale, as well as to understand the relationship between SNPCs and performances. In this review, we systematically classify and summarize materials with SNPCs from a structural perspective, dividing them into one-dimensional (1D) SNPCs, two-dimensional (2D) SNPCs, and three-dimensional (3D) SNPCs. We also unveil the unique physicochemical properties of SNPCs and analyse electrochemical couplings in SNPCs for rechargeable batteries, including cathodes, anodes, electrolytes, and functional materials. Finally, we discuss the challenges that SNPCs may face in electrochemical reactions in batteries and propose future research directions.

Abstract
CONTEXT This work focuses on the study of six molecules composed of the TetraAmineLithium (TALi+) and TetraAmineSodium (TANa+) structures linked with the anions H-, Li- and Na-. The NLO results obtained by these calculations showed significant values of static first hyperpolarizabilities (βtot) ranging from 8.74 * 10-30 to 691.99 * 10-30 esu. The two molecules TALi-Li and TALi-Na gave the highest values of static βtot equal to 563.20 and 691.99 * 10-30 esu respectively and static second hyperpolarizabilities (γav) of 680.02 and 779.05 * 10-35 esu. The highest dynamic first hyperpolarizabilities (β||) values are around 1474080.00 * 10-30 esu and 6,145,080.00 * 10-30 esu at 720 nm lasers and which are attributed to the two molecules TANa-Li and TANa-Na respectively. Four molecules have push-pull behavior where the anions are donor groups, the Li+-NH3 and Na+-NH3 groups are acceptor groups and a bridge composed by the three remaining NH3 ligands. The maximum wavelengths (λmax) in vacuum and in the presence of solvents for all molecules are in the range 240 to 870 nm. METHOD The software used in this study is Gaussian 16. The optimizations of the molecules were calculated by B3LYP-D3/6-31 + + G(d,p). The static first hyperpolarizability (βtot) was calculated by different functionals: CAM-B3LYP, LC-wPBE, LC-BLYP, M11, wB97X, HSEh1PBE and M06-2X and the MP2 method, the basis-set used is 6-31 + + G(d,p). Other calculations of static βtot were carried out by the CAM-B3LYP functional combined with several basis-sets: 6-31G(d,p), 6-31 + + G(d,p), cc-pVDZ, AUG-cc- pVDZ, 6-311G(d,p), 6-311 + + G(d,p), cc-pVTZ and AUG-cc-pVTZ. The calculations of the first (β||) and second (γ||) hyperpolarizabilities in second harmonic generation (SHG) were calculated by CAM-B3LYP/6-31 + + G(d,p). The delocalization energies (E(2)) were determined by the NBO approach and calculated by the same functional and basis-set cited before. The solvation Gibbs energies (ΔGsolv) were calculated using the implicit SMD model. Maximum wavelengths (λmax) and oscillator strengths ([Formula: see text]) were calculated by TD-CAM-B3LYP/6-31 + + G(d,p) in the presence of the implicit CPCM model.

Abstract
Developing solid-state electrolyte with sufficient ionic conduction and flexible-intimate interface is vital to advance fast-charging solid-state lithium batteries. Solid polymer electrolyte yields the promise of interfacial compatibility, yet its critical bottleneck is how to simultaneously achieve high ionic conductivity and lithium-ion transference number. Herein, single-ion conducting network polymer electrolyte (SICNP) enabling fast charging is proposed to positively realize fast lithium-ion locomotion with both high ionic conductivity of 1.1 × 10-3 S cm-1 and lithium-ion transference number of 0.92 at room temperature. Experimental characterization and theoretical simulations demonstrate that the construction of polymer network structure for single-ion conductor not only facilitates fast hopping of lithium ions for boosting ionic kinetics, but also enables a high dissociation level of the negative charge for lithium-ion transference number close to unity. As a result, the solid-state lithium batteries constructed by coupling SICNP with lithium anodes and various cathodes (e.g., LiFePO4 , sulfur, and LiCoO2 ) display impressive high-rate cycling performance (e.g., 95% capacity retention at 5 C for 1000 cycles in LiFePO4 |SICNP|lithium cell) and fast-charging capability (e.g., being charged within 6 min and discharged over than 180 min in LiCoO2 |SICNP|lithium cell). Our study provides a prospective direction for solid-state electrolyte that meets the lithium-ion dynamics for practical fast-charging solid-state lithium batteries.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are considered as the promising higher-energy and improved-safety energy-storage systems. Nevertheless, the electrolyte-electrodes interfacial issues due to the limited solid physical contact lead to discontinuous interfacial charge transport and large interfacial resistance, thereby suffering from unsatisfactory electrochemical performance. Herein, we construct an integrated cathode/polymer electrolyte for all-solid-state LMBs under the action of polymer chains exchange and recombination originating from multiple dynamic bonds in our well-designed dynamic supramolecular ionic conductive elastomers (DSICE) molecular structure. The DSICE acts as polymer electrolytes with excellent electrochemical performance and mechanical properties, achieving the ultrathin pure polymer electrolyte thickness (12 μm). Notably, the DSICE also functions as lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 , LFP) cathode binders with enhanced adhesive capability. Such well-constructed Li|DSICE|LFP-DSICE cells generate delicate electrolyte-electrodes interfacial contact at the molecular level, providing continuous Li+ transport pathways and promoting uniform Li+ deposition, further delivering superior long-term charge/discharge stability (>600 cycles, Coulombic efficiency, >99.8 %) and high capacity retention (80 % after 400 cycles). More practically, the Li|DSICE|LFP-DSICE pouch cells show stable electrochemical performance, excellent flexibility and safety under abusive tests.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are promising owing to their high energy density, environmental benignity, and low cost. Most of the commonly used binders in Li-S battery cathodes are inert and have no significant effect on the challenges of sulfur as a cathode material, such as the polysulfide shuttle effect, low ionic/electronic conductivity, and a sluggish redox reaction. In this work, we demonstrate the use of poly(vinylferrocene) (PvFc) as a binder additive that can effectively increase the ionic conductivity of the cathode and act as a sulfide-confining agent. Electrochemical tests performed with PvFc as part of the binder mixture used to cast the cathodes demonstrate an increase in rate capability and cycle life when compared to the baseline samples. Ionic conductivity measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy suggest that the π-cation molecular interaction between the cyclopentadienyl rings from ferrocene and Li+ behaves like an ion couple with ferrocene acting as a static, covalently bound acceptor of Li+ ions that enhances their mobility through the cathode. This coupled with the affinity between the ferrocenyl cations and the Li salt anions, which provides more distribution of counterions for Li+ movement and improves accessibility to the cathode S reservoir, make PvFc a promising ionomer for Li-S batteries. In addition, the π-cation bonds between cyclopentadienyl and lithium polysulfides produce a sulfide-confining effect that mitigates capacity fade through polysulfide dissolution. This work demonstrates an expansion in the utility of PvFc as a component in Li-ion batteries, which so far is mostly limited to use as an active material in organometallic batteries.

Abstract
In nature, the human body is a perfect self-organizing and self-repairing system, with the skin protecting the internal organs and tissues from external damages. In this work, inspired by the human skin, we design a metal electrode skin (MES) to protect the metal interface. MES can increase the flatness of electrode and uniform the electric field distribution, inhibiting the growth of dendrites. In detail, an artificial film made of fluorinated graphene oxide serves as the first protection layer. At molecular level, fluorine is released and in-situ formed a robust SEI as the second protection "skin" for metal anode. As a result, Cu@MES | | K asymmetric cell is able to achieve an unprecedented cycle life (over 1600 cycles). More impressively, the full cell of K@MES | | Prussian blue exhibits a long cycle lifespan over 5000 cycles. This work illustrates a mechanism for metal electrode protection and provides a strategy for the applying bionics in batteries.

Abstract
Due to the unique safety qualities, solid composite polymer electrolyte (SCPE) has achieved considerable attentions to fabricate high-energy-density lithium metal batteries, but its overall performance still has to be improved. Herein, a high lithium salt content poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based SCPE was developed, enhanced by hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets, presenting perfect electrochemical performance, fast ion transport, and efficient inhibition of lithium dendrite growth. The optimized SCPE (PVDF-L70-B5) could deliver high ionic conductivity (2.98×10-4 S cm-1 ), ultra-high Li+ ion transfer number (0.62), wide electrochemical stability window (5.24 V), and strong mechanical strength (3.45 MPa) at room temperature. Density functional theory calculation further confirmed that the presence of h-BN could promote the dissociation of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide lithium (LiTFSI) and the rapid transfer of Li+ ions. As a result, the assembled symmetric Li/Li battery and asymmetric Li/LiFePO4 battery using PVDF-L70-B5 SCPEs both exhibited high reversible capacity, long-term cycle stability, and high-rate performance when cycled at 60 or 30 °C. The designed SCPEs will open up a new route to synthesize solid-state lithium batteries with high energy density and high safety.

Abstract
The application of rechargeable lithium batteries involves all aspects of our daily life, such as new energy vehicles, computers, watches and other electronic mobile devices, so it is becoming more and more important in contemporary society. However, commercial liquid rechargeable lithium batteries have safety hazards such as leakage or explosion, all-solid-state lithium rechargeable lithium batteries will become the best alternatives. But the biggest challenge we face at present is the large solid-solid interface contact resistance between the solid electrolyte and the electrode as well as the low ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte. Due to the large relative molecular mass, polymers usually exhibit solid or gel state with good mechanical strength. The intermolecules are connected by covalent bonds, so that the chemical and physical stability, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and fire resistance are good. Many researchers have found that polymers play an important role in improving the performance of all-solid-state lithium rechargeable batteries. This review mainly describes the application of polymers in the fields of electrodes, electrolytes, electrolyte-electrode contact interfaces, and electrode binders in all-solid-state lithium rechargeable batteries, and how to improve battery performance. This review mainly introduces the recent applications of polymers in solid-state lithium battery electrodes, electrolytes, electrode binders, etc., and describes the performance of emerging porous polymer materials and materials based on traditional polymers in solid-state lithium batteries. The comparative analysis shows the application advantages and disadvantages of the emerging porous polymer materials in this field which provides valuable reference information for further development.
