In Situ Constructing Ultrafast Ion Channel for Promoting High-Rate Cycle Stability of Nano-Na3V2(PO4)3 Cathode

Encapsulating nanomaterials in carbon is one of the main ways to increase the cathode stability, but it is difficult to simultaneously optimize the rate capacity and enhance durability derived from the insufficient ion transport channels and deficient ion adsorption sites that constipate the ion transport and pseudocapacitive reaction. Herein, we develop the ligand-confined growth strategy to encapsulate the nano-Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode material in various carbon channels (microporous, mesoporous, and macroporous) to discriminate the optimal carbon channels for synchronously improving rate capacity and holding the high-rate cycle stability. Benefiting from the unobstructed ion/charge transport channels and flexible maskant created by the interconnected mesoporous carbon channels, the prepared Na3V2(PO4)3 nanoparticles confined in mesoporous carbon channel (Mes-NVP/C) achieve a discharge-specific capacity of 70 mAh g-1 even at the ultrahigh rate of 100 C, higher than those of the Na3V2(PO4)3 nanoparticles confined in microporous and macroporous carbon channel (Micr-NVP/C and Macr-NVP/C), respectively. Significantly, the capacity retention rate of Mes-NVP/C after 5000 cycles at 20 C is as high as 90.48%, exceeding most of the reported work. These findings hold great promise for traditional cathode materials to synergistically realize fast charging ability and long cycle life.

Energy Storage Mechanism of C12-3-3 with High-Capacity and High-Rate Performance for Li/Mg Batteries

The low specific capacity and Mg non-affinity of graphite limit the energy density of ion rechargeable batteries. Here, we first identify that the monolayer C12-3-3 in sp2-sp3 carbon hybridization with high Li/Mg affinity is an appropriate anode material for Li-ion batteries and Mg-ion batteries via the first-principles simulations. The monolayer C12-3-3 can achieve high specific capacities of 1181 mAh/g for Li and 739 mAh/g for Mg, higher than those of most previous anodes. The Li storage reaction is an "adsorption-conversion-intercalation mechanism", while the Mg storage reaction is an "adsorption mechanism". The 2D carbon material of C12-3-3 displays fast diffusion kinetics with low diffusion barriers of 0.41 eV for Li and 0.21 eV for Mg. As a new carbon-based anode material, the monolayer C12-3-3 will promote the practical application of batteries with high-capacity and high-rate performance.

Robust Biomass-Derived Carbon Frameworks as High-Performance Anodes in Potassium-Ion Batteries

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have become one of the promising candidates for electrochemical energy storage that can provide low-cost and high-performance advantages. The poor cyclability and rate capability of PIBs are due to the intensive structural change of electrode materials during battery operation. Carbon-based materials as anodes have been successfully commercialized in lithium- and sodium-ion batteries but is still struggling in potassium-ion battery field. This work conducts structural engineering strategy to induce anionic defects within the carbon structures to boost the kinetics of PIBs anodes. The carbon framework provides a strong and stable structure to accommodate the volume variation of materials during cycling, and the further phosphorus doping modification is shown to enhance the rate capability. This is found due to the change of the pore size distribution, electronic structures, and hence charge storage mechanism. The optimized electrode in this work shows a high capacity of 175 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 0.2 A g^-1 and the enhancement of rate performance as the PIB anode (60% capacity retention with the current density increase of 50 times). This work, therefore provides a rational design for guiding future research on carbon-based anodes for PIBs.

Highly Efficient Cu-Porphyrin-Based Metal-Organic Framework Nanosheet as Cathode for High-Rate Li-CO2 Battery

The lithium-carbon dioxide (Li-CO₂ ) battery as a novel metal-air battery has a high specific energy density and unique CO₂ conversion ability. However, its further development is limited by incomplete product decomposition resulting in poor cycling and rate performance. In this work, Cu-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (Cu-TCPP) nanosheets are prepared through the solvothermal method successfully. An efficient Li-CO₂ battery with Cu-TCPP as catalyst achieves a high discharge capacity of 20393 mAh g^-1 at 100 mA g^-1 , a long-life cycle of 123 at 500 mA g^-1 , and a lower overpotential of 1.8 V at 2000 mA g^-1 . Density functional theory calculation reveals that Cu-TCPP has higher adsorption energy of CO₂ and Li₂ CO₃ compared with TCPP, and a large number of electrons gather near the Cu-N₄ active sites in Cu-TCPP. Therefore, the excellent CO₂ capture ability of the porphyrin ligand and the synergic catalytic effect of Cu atom in Cu-TCPP promote the thermodynamics and kinetics of CO₂ reduction and evolution processes.

Step-by-step desolvation enables high-rate and ultra-stable sodium storage in hard carbon anodes

Hard carbon is regarded as the most promising anode material for sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, owing to its advantages of high abundance, low cost, and low operating potential. However, the rate capability and cycle life span of hard carbon anodes are far from satisfactory, severely hindering its industrial applications. Here, we demonstrate that the desolvation process defines the Na-ion diffusion kinetics and the formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI). The 3A zeolite molecular sieve film on the hard carbon is proposed to develop a step-by-step desolvation pathway that effectively reduces the high activation energy of the direct desolvation process. Moreover, step-by-step desolvation yields a thin and inorganic-dominated SEI with a lower activation energy for Na⁺ transport. As a result, it contributes to greatly improved power density and cycling stability for both ester and ether electrolytes. When the above insights are applied, the hard carbon anode achieves the longest life span and minimum capacity fading rate at all evaluated current densities. Moreover, with the increase in current densities, an improved plateau capacity ratio is observed. This step-by-step desolvation strategy comprehensively enhances various properties of hard carbon anodes, which provides the possibility of building practical Na-ion batteries with high power density, high energy density, and durability.

3D Printed Lithium-Metal Full Batteries Based on a High-Performance Three-Dimensional Anode Current Collector

A three-dimensional (3D) printing method has been developed for preparing a lithium anode base on 3D-structured copper mesh current collectors. Through in situ observations and computer simulations, the deposition behavior and mechanism of lithium ions in the 3D copper mesh current collector are clarified. Benefiting from the characteristics that the large pores can transport electrolyte and provide space for dendrite growth, and the small holes guide the deposition of dendrites, the 3D Cu mesh anode exhibits excellent deposition and stripping capability (50 mAh cm^-2), high-rate capability (50 mA cm^-2), and a long-term stable cycle (1000 h). A full lithium battery with a LiFePO₄ cathode based on this anode exhibits a good cycle life. Moreover, a 3D fully printed lithium-sulfur battery with a 3D printed high-load sulfur cathode can easily charge mobile phones and light up 51 LED indicators, which indicates the great potential for the practicability of lithium-metal batteries with the characteristic of high energy densities. Most importantly, this unique and simple strategy is also able to solve the dendrite problem of other secondary metal batteries. Furthermore, this method has great potential in the continuous mass production of electrodes.

Highly Ordered SnO2 Nanopillar Array as Binder-Free Anodes for Long-Life and High-Rate Li-Ion Batteries

SnO₂, a typical transition metal oxide, is a promising conversion-type electrode material with an ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity of 1494 mAh g⁻¹. Nevertheless, the electrochemical performance of SnO₂ electrode is limited by large volumetric changes (~300%) during the charge/discharge process, leading to rapid capacity decay, poor cyclic performance, and inferior rate capability. In order to overcome these bottlenecks, we develop highly ordered SnO₂ nanopillar array as binder-free anodes for LIBs, which are realized by anodic aluminum oxide-assisted pulsed laser deposition. The as-synthesized SnO₂ nanopillar exhibit an ultrahigh initial specific capacity of 1082 mAh g⁻¹ and maintain a high specific capacity of 524/313 mAh g⁻¹ after 1100/6500 cycles, outperforming SnO₂ thin film-based anodes and other reported binder-free SnO₂ anodes. Moreover, SnO₂ nanopillar demonstrate excellent rate performance under high current density of 64 C (1 C = 782 mA g⁻¹), delivering a specific capacity of 278 mAh g⁻¹, which can be restored to 670 mAh g⁻¹ after high-rate cycling. The superior electrochemical performance of SnO₂ nanoarray can be attributed to the unique architecture of SnO₂, where highly ordered SnO₂ nanopillar array provided adequate room for volumetric expansion and ensured structural integrity during the lithiation/delithiation process. The current study presents an effective approach to mitigate the inferior cyclic performance of SnO₂-based electrodes, offering a realistic prospect for its applications as next-generation energy storage devices.

Multi-Time Resolution Ensemble LSTMs for Enhanced Feature Extraction in High-Rate Time Series

Systems experiencing high-rate dynamic events, termed high-rate systems, typically undergo accelerations of amplitudes higher than 100 g-force in less than 10 ms. Examples include adaptive airbag deployment systems, hypersonic vehicles, and active blast mitigation systems. Given their critical functions, accurate and fast modeling tools are necessary for ensuring the target performance. However, the unique characteristics of these systems, which consist of (1) large uncertainties in the external loads, (2) high levels of non-stationarities and heavy disturbances, and (3) unmodeled dynamics generated from changes in system configurations, in combination with the fast-changing environments, limit the applicability of physical modeling tools. In this paper, a deep learning algorithm is used to model high-rate systems and predict their response measurements. It consists of an ensemble of short-sequence long short-term memory (LSTM) cells which are concurrently trained. To empower multi-step ahead predictions, a multi-rate sampler is designed to individually select the input space of each LSTM cell based on local dynamics extracted using the embedding theorem. The proposed algorithm is validated on experimental data obtained from a high-rate system. Results showed that the use of the multi-rate sampler yields better feature extraction from non-stationary time series compared with a more heuristic method, resulting in significant improvement in step ahead prediction accuracy and horizon. The lean and efficient architecture of the algorithm results in an average computing time of 25 μμs, which is below the maximum prediction horizon, therefore demonstrating the algorithm's promise in real-time high-rate applications.

Performance of an anaerobic plug-flow reactor treating agro-industrial wastes supplemented with lipids at high organic loading rate

This study evaluated the performance of a plug-flow reactor (PFR) for high-rate anaerobic co-digestion of complex agro-industrial wastes and used cooking oil or animal fat. The PFR was successfully operated up to an organic loading rate (OLR) of 21 g L^-1 d^-1, yielding biogas at 0.35 L g^-1 chemical oxygen demand (COD) influent. During the study period, supernatant COD at the PFR effluent remained between 4 and 7 g L^-1, with negligible volatile fatty acids' concentrations (<500 mg L^-1) and no presence of foaming incidents. The biomass concentration inside the PFR, expressed as total suspended solids, remained between 30 and 60 g L^-1. Moreover, the above-mentioned anaerobic digestion technology has been currently scaled-up at 50 m³ PFR, while a full-scale facility of 240 kW-el is under construction in the region of north-eastern Greece.

A Queue-Ordered Layered Mn-Based Oxides with Al Substitution as High-Rate and High-Stabilized Cathode for Sodium-Ion Batteries

Development of highly stabilized and reversible cathode materials has become a great challenge for sodium-ion batteries. O'3-type layered Mn-based oxides have deserved much attention as one of largely reversible-capacity cathodes featured by the resource-rich and low-toxic elements. However, the fragile slabs structure of typical layered oxides, low Mn-ion migration barriers, and Jahn-Teller distortion of Mn³⁺ have easily resulted in the severe degradation of cyclability and rate performances. Herein, a new queue-ordered superstructure is built up in the O'3-NaMn_0.6 Al_0.4 O₂ cathode material. Through the light-metal Al substitution in O'3-NaMnO₂ , the MnO₆ and AlO₆ octahedrons display the queue-ordered arrangements in the transition metal (TM) slabs. Interestingly, the presence of this superstructure can strengthen the layered structure, reduce the influence from Jahn-Teller effect, and suppress the TM-ions migrations during long-terms cycles. These characteristics results in O'3-NaMn_0.6 Al_0.4 O₂ cathode deliver a high capacity of 160 mAh g^-1 , an enhanced rate capability and the excellent cycling performance. This research strategy can provide the broaden insight for future electrode materials with high-performance sodium-ions storage.

Highly Conductive Two-Dimensional Metal-Organic Frameworks for Resilient Lithium Storage with Superb Rate Capability

Redox-active organic cathode materials have drawn growing attention because of the broad availability of raw materials, eco-friendliness, scalable production, and diverse structural flexibility. However, organic materials commonly suffer from fragile stability in organic solvents, poor electrochemical stability in charge/discharge processes, and insufficient electrical conductivity. To address these issues, using Cu(II) salt and benzenehexathiolate (BHT) as the precursors, we synthesized a robust and redox-active 2D metal-organic framework (MOF), [Cu₃(C₆S₆)]_n, namely, Cu-BHT. The Cu-BHT MOFs have a highly conjugated structure, affording a high electronic conductivity of 231 S cm^-1, which could further be increased upon lithiation in lithium-ion battery (LIB) applications. A reversible four-electron reaction reveals the Li storage mechanism of the Cu-BHT for a theoretical capacity of 236 mAh g^-1. The as-prepared Cu-BHT cathode delivers an excellent reversible capacity of 175 mAh g^-1 with ultralow capacity deterioration (0.048% per cycle) upon 500 cycles at a high current density of 300 mA g^-1. Therefore, we believe this work would provide a practical strategy for the development of high-power energy storage materials.

Growth of Bouquet-like Zn2GeO4 Crystal Clusters in Molten Salt and Understanding the Fast Na-Storage Properties

The exploration of high-performance anode materials is imperative for the development of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, a molten-salt-assisted approach is developed to prepare crystallized Zn₂GeO₄ clusters constructed by interconnected nanorods, and the Na-ion storage mechanism is studied systemically through in situ X-ray diffraction, ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission microscopy associated with galvanostatic intermittent titration technique. The Zn₂GeO₄ anode undergoes conversion reactions followed by the alloying reaction. The large channel in the Zn₂GeO₄ crystal structure ensures insertion of sodium ions. The amorphous transformation during the initial discharge process increases the active site for the fast electrochemical reaction. As the anode for SIBs, the Zn₂GeO₄ cluster exhibits good rate capability with a capacity retention of 111.1 mA h g^-1 at 20 A g^-1 in half cells and 118.9 mA h g^-1 at 2 A g^-1 in full cells, associated with a capacity of 184.2 mA h g^-1 at 0.5 A g^-1 after 500 cycles. The ex situ scanning electron microscopy images of the electrode material disclose that the hierarchical structure can accommodate the volume variation of Zn₂GeO₄ during discharge/charge cycling, facilitating long cycling stability. The investigation of Zn₂GeO₄ provides new insight for the development of high-rate anode materials for SIBs.

Electrochemically Treated TiO₂ for Enhanced Performance in Aqueous Al-Ion Batteries

The potential for low cost, environmentally friendly and high rate energy storage has led to the study of anatase-TiO₂ as an electrode material in aqueous Al3+ electrolytes. This paper describes the improved performance from an electrochemically treated composite TiO₂ electrode for use in aqueous Al-ion batteries. After application of the cathodic electrochemical treatment in 1 mol/dm³ KOH, Mott⁻Schottky analysis showed the treated electrode as having an increased electron density and an altered open circuit potential, which remained stable throughout cycling. The cathodic treatment also resulted in a change in colour of TiO₂. Treated-TiO₂ demonstrated improved capacity, coulombic efficiency and stability when galvanostatically cycled in 1 mol·dm-3AlCl₃/1 mol·dm-3 KCl. A treated-TiO₂ electrode produced a capacity of 15.3 mA·h·g-1 with 99.95% coulombic efficiency at the high specific current of 10 A/g. Additionally, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were employed to elucidate the origin of this improved performance.

When used for Li/Na-ion storage, the FeS₂@MXene nanohybrid present excellent rate capabilities. Particularly, for Li-ion storage, an elevated reversible specific capacity of 762 mAh g^-1 at 10 A g^-1 after 1000 cycles was achieved. And for Na-ion storage, the FeS₂@MXene nanohybrid also delivering a reversible specific capacity of 563 mAh g^-1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A g^-1.

ZnSe Microsphere/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Composites as High-Rate and Long-Life Anodes for Sodium-Ion Batteries

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered as one of the most favorable alternative devices for sustainable development of modern society. However, it is still a big challenge to search for proper anode materials which have excellent cycling and rate performance. Here, zinc selenide microsphere and multiwalled carbon nanotube (ZnSe/MWCNT) composites are prepared via hydrothermal reaction and following grinding process. The performance of ZnSe/MWCNT composites as a SIB anode is studied for the first time. As a result, ZnSe/MWCNTs exhibit excellent rate capacity and superior cycling life. The capacity retains as high as 382 mA h g^-1 after 180 cycles even at a current density of 0.5 A g^-1. The initial Coulombic efficiency of ZnSe/MWCNTs can reach 88% and nearby 100% in the following cycles. The superior electrochemical properties are attributed to continuous electron transport pathway, improved electrical conductivity, and excellent stress relaxation.

Introduction to State Estimation of High-Rate System Dynamics

Engineering systems experiencing high-rate dynamic events, including airbags, debris detection, and active blast protection systems, could benefit from real-time observability for enhanced performance. However, the task of high-rate state estimation is challenging, in particular for real-time applications where the rate of the observer’s convergence needs to be in the microsecond range. This paper identifies the challenges of state estimation of high-rate systems and discusses the fundamental characteristics of high-rate systems. A survey of applications and methods for estimators that have the potential to produce accurate estimations for a complex system experiencing highly dynamic events is presented. It is argued that adaptive observers are important to this research. In particular, adaptive data-driven observers are advantageous due to their adaptability and lack of dependence on the system model.

Salt-Templated Synthesis of 2D Metallic MoN and Other Nitrides

Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal nitrides just recently entered the research arena, but already offer a potential for high-rate energy storage, which is needed for portable/wearable electronics and many other applications. However, a lack of efficient and high-yield synthesis methods for 2D metal nitrides has been a major bottleneck for the manufacturing of those potentially very important materials, and only MoN, Ti₄N₃, and GaN have been reported so far. Here we report a scalable method that uses reduction of 2D hexagonal oxides in ammonia to produce 2D nitrides, such as MoN. MoN nanosheets with subnanometer thickness have been studied in depth. Both theoretical calculation and experiments demonstrate the metallic nature of 2D MoN. The hydrophilic restacked 2D MoN film exhibits a very high volumetric capacitance of 928 F cm^-3 in sulfuric acid electrolyte with an excellent rate performance. We expect that the synthesis of metallic 2D MoN and two other nitrides (W₂N and V₂N) demonstrated here will provide an efficient way to expand the family of 2D materials and add many members with attractive properties.

NiSe2 Nanooctahedra as an Anode Material for High-Rate and Long-Life Sodium-Ion Battery

In this article, we report NiSe₂ nanooctahedra as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). They exhibit outstanding long-term cyclic stability (313 mAh/g after 4000 cycles at 5 A/g) and excellent high-rate capability (175 mAh/g at 20 A/g). Besides, the initial Coulombic efficiency of NiSe₂ is also very impressive (over 90%). Such remarkable performances are attributed to good conductivity, structural stability, and the pseudocapacitive behavior of the NiSe₂. Furthermore, the sodium ion storage mechanism of NiSe₂ is first investigated by in situ XRD and ex situ XRD. These highlights give NiSe₂ a competitive strength for rechargeable SIBs.

Elemental Sulfur and Molybdenum Disulfide Composites for Li-S Batteries with Long Cycle Life and High-Rate Capability

The practical implementation of Li-S technology has been hindered by short cycle life and poor rate capability owing to deleterious effects resulting from the varied solubilities of different Li polysulfide redox products. Here, we report the preparation and utilization of composites with a sulfur-rich matrix and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) particulate inclusions as Li-S cathode materials with the capability to mitigate the dissolution of the Li polysulfide redox products via the MoS2 inclusions acting as "polysulfide anchors". In situ composite formation was completed via a facile, one-pot method with commercially available starting materials. The composites were afforded by first dispersing MoS2 directly in liquid elemental sulfur (S8) with sequential polymerization of the sulfur phase via thermal ring opening polymerization or copolymerization via inverse vulcanization. For the practical utility of this system to be highlighted, it was demonstrated that the composite formation methodology was amenable to larger scale processes with composites easily prepared in 100 g batches. Cathodes fabricated with the high sulfur content composites as the active material afforded Li-S cells that exhibited extended cycle lifetimes of up to 1000 cycles with low capacity decay (0.07% per cycle) and demonstrated exceptional rate capability with the delivery of reversible capacity up to 500 mAh/g at 5 C.

Intercalation Pseudocapacitance in Ultrathin VOPO4 Nanosheets: Toward High-Rate Alkali-Ion-Based Electrochemical Energy Storage

There is a growing need for energy storage devices in numerous applications where a large amount of energy needs to be either stored or delivered quickly. The present paper details the study of alkali-ion intercalation pseudocapacitance in ultrathin VOPO4 nanosheets, which hold promise in high-rate alkali-ion based electrochemical energy storage. Starting from bulk VOPO4·2H2O chunks, VOPO4 nanosheets were obtained through simple ultrasonication in 2-propanol. These nanosheets as the cathode exhibit a specific capacity of 154 and 136 mAh/g (close to theoretical value 166 mAh/g) for lithium and sodium storage devices at 0.1 C and 100 and ∼70 mAh/g at 5 C, demonstrating their high rate capability. Moreover, the capacity retention is maintained at 90% for lithium ion storage and 73% for sodium ion storage after 500 cycles, showing their reasonable stability. The demonstrated alkali-ion intercalation pseudocapacitance represents a promising direction for developing battery materials with promising high rate capability.

Carbon-Anchored MnO Nanosheets as an Anode for High-Rate and Long-Life Lithium-Ion Batteries

Developing electrode materials with high rate as well as prolonged cycle is particularly necessary for the ever-growing market penetration of electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicle. Herein, we demonstrate a facile and efficient strategy to synthesize MnO/C hybrid via freeze-drying followed by thermal treatment in N2 atmosphere. The MnO nanosheets are firmly anchored onto carbon layers to form MnO/C hybrid. When used as an anode in lithium-ion batteries, the typical MnO/C hybrid displays a high initial Coulombic efficiency of 83.1% and delivers a high capacity of 1449.8 mAh g(-1) after 100 cycles at 0.3 A g(-1). Furthermore, the typical MnO/C hybrid can still maintain significantly high capacity of 1467.0 mAh g(-1) after 2000 cycles at 5 A g(-1), which may be the best performance reported so far for MnO-based materials. The superior electrochemical performance of the MnO/C hybrid may be attributed to its unique microstructure features such as effective conductive pathway of carbon sheets, firm connection between MnO and carbon sheets, and small-sized MnO.

Here we report an easy and versatile strategy to fabricate high-rate and cycling-stable hierarchical sphered cathode Li(1.2)Ni(0.13)Mn(0.54)Co(0.13)O2, by using an ionic interfusion method. The sphere-shaped hierarchical cathode is assembled with primary nanoplates with enhanced growth of nanocrystal planes in favor of Li(+) intercalation/deintercalation, such as (010), (100), and (110) planes. This material with such unique structural features exhibits outstanding rate capability, cyclability, and high discharge capacities, achieving around 70% (175 mAh g(-1)) of the capacity at 0.1 C rate within about 2.1 min of ultrafast charging. Such cathode is feasible to construct high-energy and high-power Li-ion batteries.
