Won JH, Sim WH, Kim D, Jeong HM. Densely Packed Li-Metal Growth on Anodeless Electrodes by Li + -Flux Control in Space-Confined Narrow Gap of Stratified Carbon Pack for High-Performance Li-Metal Batteries. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023; 10:e2205328. [PMID: 36424141 PMCID: PMC9875682 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202205328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Lithium (Li) is the "holy grail" for satisfying the increasing energy demand. This is because of its high theoretical capacity and low potential. Although Li is considered as a potential anode material, dendritic Li growth and the limited electrochemical properties continue to hinder its practical application. Structure-based self lithium ion (Li+ ) concentrating electrodes with high capacity and uniform Li+ -flux are recommended to overcome these shortcomings of Li. However, recent studies have been limited to structural perspectives. In addition, the electrokinetic principle of electrode materials remains a challenge. Herein, the space-confinement-based strategy is suggested for condensed Li+ -flux control in nanoscaled slit spaces that induce the dense Li growth on an anodeless electrode by using the stratified carbon pack (SCP). The micro/mesoporous slits of the SCP concentrate the electric field, which is strengthened by the space-confined electric field focusing, resulting in the accumulation of Li+ -flux in the host. The accumulated Li+ in host sites enables a uniform Li deposition with high capacity at high current density stably. Furthermore, SCPs have great compatibility with LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 (NCM811) cathode, representing the outstanding full cell performance with Li deposited electrode which show the high specific of 115 mAh g-1 at 4 C during 350 cycles.

Abstract
Lithium metal, as the "Holy Grail" of lithium battery anodes, is promising to be used in the next-generation of high-energy-density storage devices. However, serious safety risk and poor cycle performance are inevitable when bare lithium foil is used as the anode material, due to the uncontrolled growth of lithium dendrites, unstable solid electrolyte interface, and infinite volume expansion of lithium during cycling, which largely hinder the further commercial application of lithium metal batteries (LMBs). The utilization of up-to-date current collectors with specific composition and structure is believed to be effective to overcome these shortcomings. However, a systematic evaluation of the merit of different current collector materials for realizing high-performance lithium metal anodes is still lacking. This review summarizes the fashionable advanced current collector materials for long-life LMBs in recent years. The superiorities and related electrochemical performances by using these current collector materials are discussed in detail. It is expected that this review may promote the rational choice of appreciatory current collector materials with unique structure designs to extend the cycle life of lithium metal anodes for achieving the next-generation of high-energy-density LMBs.

Abstract
Lithium metal batteries have recently gained tremendous attention owing to their high energy capacity compared to other rechargeable batteries. Nevertheless, lithium (Li) dendritic growth causes low Coulombic efficiency, thermal runaway, and safety issues, all of which hinder the practical application of Li metal as an anodic material. In this review, the failure mechanisms of Li metal anode are described according to its infinite volume changes, unstable solid electrolyte interphase, and Li dendritic growth. The fundamental models that describe the Li deposition and dendritic growth, such as the thermodynamic, electrodeposition kinetics, and internal stress models are summarized. From these considerations, porous carbon-based frameworks have emerged as a promising strategy to resolve these issues. Thus, the main principles of utilizing these materials as a Li metal host are discussed. Finally, we also focus on the recent progress on utilizing one-, two-, and three-dimensional carbon-based frameworks and their composites to highlight the future outlook of these materials.

Solid-state self-template synthesis of Ta-doped Li 2ZnTi 3O 8 spheres for efficient and durable lithium storage. iScience 2021; 24:102991.

Abstract
Ta-doped Li2ZnTi3O8 (LZTO) spheres (Li2ZnTi3-x Ta x O8; where x is the synthetic chemical input, x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07) are synthesized via solid-state reaction using mesoporous TiO2 spheres as the self-template. The majority of Ta5+ ions are uniformly doped into crystal lattices of LZTO through the Ti↔Ta substitution, and the rest forms the piezoelectric LiTaO3 secondary phase on the surface, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction refinement, Raman spectroscopy, density functional theory, and electron microscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrates that the Ta5+ doping creates rapid electronic transportation channels for high Li+ ion diffusion kinetics; however, the LiTaO3 surface coating is beneficial to improve the electronic conductivity. At the optimal x = 0.05, Li2ZnTi3-x Ta x O8 spheres exhibit a reversible capacity of 90.2 mAh/g after 2000 cycles with a high coulombic efficiency of ≈100% at 5.0 A/g, thus enabling a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries with high power and energy densities.

Abstract
The exploration of electrode materials is considered to be a crucial process affecting the development of lithium-ion batteries. However, the large-scale commercial application of the great mass of anode materials has been hampered by the challenges with conductivity and volume change. These problems can be solved by the combination of a carbon-matrix with anode materials, which has proven to be an effective strategy. This review aims to outline recent advances in carbon-matrix composite anodes based on different dimensions (0D, 1D, 2D, 3D and atomic scale) and functions, with the emphasis on the regulation of carbon distribution of composite anodes. Besides, the matrix forms and carbon sources have also been summarized. This review will provide some light on the future carbon-matrix electrode design trends for LIBs.
