In this study, we develop a direct, thermally initiated radical homopolymerization of vinyl ethers mediated by lithium salts CH3OLi and LiI. In the case of vinyl ether monomers having a hydroxyl group, for example, diethyleneglycol monovinyl ether (DEGV), a high molecular weight poly(DEGV) (Mn = 18 700) is produced in a high yield (≥68%) with negligible acetal formation. Most importantly, this method further enables the radical polymerization of alkyl vinyl ether (IBVE) which has no hydroxyl group to form hydrogen bonds to facilitate the radical polymerization. There are no evident structural defects caused by side reactions such as β-scission and hydrogen abstraction as the poly(IBVE) yield is up to about 50% and Mn = 8500. Under similar conditions, the poly(IBVE) yield of the control run is only 16.2%. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the interaction between Li+ and CC–O of IBVE significantly reduces the HOMO–LUMO energy gap from 6.83 eV to 4.61 eV. In addition, the changes in 1H-NMR chemical shifts of CH2CH–O– further support the existence of interaction between Li+ and CC–O. This cation-π complexation between Li+ and vinyl ether can effectively reduce the electron density of the vinyl group and as a result increases the stability of σ-radicals and suppresses unfavorable side reactions.

Solid-state Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have recently attracted much attention for their high safety and energy density . Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is as a potential electrolyte for solid-state LIBs due to its high permittivity, wide voltage window and excellent thermal stability. Here, Y 3+ -doped Li 29 Zr 9 Nb 3 O 40 (LZNO) Li-ionic conductor with room temperature conductivity (σ 25 ) of 1.26 × 10 −4 S cm −1 is prepared. LZNO decorated PVDF-based composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) are fabricated. The PVDF-based CSE with 10% (mass ratio) of LZNO shows σ 25 of 2.34 × 10 −4 S cm −1 , and has thermal stability with melting temperature up to 332 °C and voltage window of 4.8 V. The assembled Li ( Ni 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 ) O 2 |CSE|Li cells show initial specific discharge capacity of 216.7 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C, and exhibit high capacity and cycle performance. LiFePO 4 |CSE|Li cells display initial specific discharge capacity of 137.4 mAh g −1 at 0.5 C and high cycle performance. Addition of LZNO powder in CSEs can inhibit the dehydrofluorination of PVDF during the charge-discharge of cells, alleviate the deterioration of interface resistance, and greatly improve the specific discharge capacity of cells at high rates.

As one of the most promising battery systems, the lithium sulfur battery is expected to be widely used in fields of high energy density demands. Owing to the unique solid–solid conversion mechanism, there is no shuttle effect for the Li-SPAN (sulfurized polyacrylonitrile) battery. However, the compatibility between Li anode and carbonate electrolyte has not been resolved, which prevents the SPAN from practical applications. Herein, an organic–inorganic gel carbonate electrolyte is proposed to stabilize interphases and structures of both the anode and cathode, where polyimide (PI) is used for electrolyte gelation, which can assist in the uniform distribution of inorganic components at the electrolyte interface. Furthermore, ZnS nanodots loaded on two-dimensional MoS2 flakes provide abundant Li-ion diffusion paths, improve the transfer kinetic of Li ions, and induce uniform nucleation and deposition of Li. This gel electrolyte ensures Li symmetric cells a long-term cycle life of more than 900 h under the condition of deep lithium plating/stripping at 5 mAh cm–1. Li∥Cu cells exhibit a prolonged lifespan of 800 h with a CE of 98.3%. Furthermore, the Li-SPAN battery shows stability of more than 850 cycles, with the capacity retention of 85.1%. This work provides an approach for high-energy Li-SPAN batteries with carbonate-based electrolytes.

Polyamide/polyethylene thin film composite (PA/PE-TFC) NF membranes were prepared from reverse-phase interface polymerization (RIP) for improved Mg(II)/Li(I) separation. RIP processes between 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl chloride (TMC) in bottom organic phase and piperazine (PIP) in upper aqueous phase were developed to form continuous and intact surface PA separation layers on PE porous substrates thinner than traditional polysulfone (PSF) based substrates. After activation with isopropyl alcohol (IPA), PA/PE-TFC-IPA NF membranes were formed, whose NF performance could be tuned by adjusting the preparation conditions. When TMC concentration was kept at 0.15 % w/v, RIP with low PIP concentration (0.025 wt%) yield PA/PE-TFC-IPA NF membranes with negatively charged surfaces , high Na 2 SO 4 rejection rate (95 % ± 3 %) and water permeance (13–19 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 ). RIP with high PIP concentration (0.3 wt%) formed PA/PE-TFC-IPA NF membranes with less negative surfaces, high MgCl 2 rejection rate (94.3 ± 0.7 %), low water permeance (4.8 ± 0.3 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 ), and high Mg(II)/Li(I) separation coefficient S Li/Mg (18 ± 1) for 1000 ppm LiCl and MgCl 2 mixed solution. PA/PE-TFC-IPA NF membranes also showed good long-term stability and improved anti-fouling performance for positively charged pollutants, bearing high potential for applications in the lithium extraction processes.

Recently, constructing heterostructures at the working electrode has emerged as a promising technique in energy storage. This approach utilizes the interfacial energy level difference between two semiconductors to enhance charge transfer and improve Li + diffusion kinetics. In this work, we employed an in-situ hydrothermal method to successfully fabricate TiO 2 /MoO 3 heterostructured electrodes. The resulting interface driving force of approximately 0.54 V exhibited a significant enhancement in charge transfer and demonstrated superior Li + storage performance compared to individual MoO 3 electrodes. Additionally, the incorporation of TiO 2 effectively reduced volume expansion, enhancing the stability of the electrode material. As expected, the heterostructure electrode TiO 2 /MoO 3 (x = 10) exhibits the highest specific capacitance of 606.36 F·g −1 . Our further fabricated asymmetric supercapacitor TiO 2 /MoO 3 (x = 10)//PPy device presents an energy density of 42.28 Wh·kg −1 , which is 1.57-fold higher than that of the MoO 3 //PPy device. This study introduces a methodology that enhances the efficiency and accessibility in the process of creating electrode materials, thereby offering a more streamlined and user-friendly avenue for the advancement of supercapacitor.

The limited stability and the excessive dependence on external heating sources restrict the development of polymer-based solid-state Li-O 2 batteries . Herein, we propose a multifunctional composed cathode with the photo-electro-thermal synergy to achieve a PEO-based solid-state Li-O 2 (PSS Li-O 2 ) battery operating at room temperature. The multifunctional composed cathode consists of the traditional black TiO 2 photocatalyst and carbon cloth (b-TiO 2 /CC). The b-TiO 2 /CC harvests a full spectrum of sunlight, besides the photo-generated electrons and holes enhancing reaction kinetics during discharging and charging processes, though converting solar energy into heat to achieve self-heated replace on external. The photo-electro-thermal synergy-triggered PSS Li-O 2 battery establishes a low overpotential of 0.26 V and long durability of up to 90 cycles, which is a breakthrough for PEO-based Li-O 2 batteries operating at room temperature. A flexible PSS Li-O 2 battery is constructed and exhibits superior flexibility and mechanical stability . The mechanism of the photo-electro-thermal synergy provides a new strategy for PSS Li-O 2 batteries and advances the high-efficiency utilization of solar energy in portable devices.

Replacing flammable liquid electrolytes with solid polymer electrolytes is a promising route to improve safety of lithium (Li)-metal batteries. However, developing a suitable high-performance electrolyte with both high ionic conductivity and interface stability against electrodes remains as a challenge. Herein, we design a poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC)/poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) [P(VDF-HFP)]–based asymmetric solid electrolyte with a 3D blow-spun Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) framework. The controllable degradation of PPC facilitates the wettability and stability between the electrolyte and Li metal. The P(VDF-HFP) with good electrochemical stability is used to match with cathode. With the support of the 3D LLZO Li-ion conductor, the electrolyte displays high ionic conductivity (4.9 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at room temperature). The Li||Li symmetric cells assembled with this electrolyte show a long cycling life of more than 2700 h at 100 μA cm −2 . The electrolyte also delivers an excellent cycling performance in solid-state LiFePO 4 ||Li batteries (300 cycles with a capacity retention of 91.3%).

As a recently developed anode material for lithium-ion batteries, Ti 2 Nb 10 O 29 shows high theoretical/practical capacities and safety, but suffers from a poor rate capability due to its insulator nature and insufficient Li + -ion diffusion coefficient . To tackle this issue, a strategy combining nanosizing, Cr 3+ –Nb 5+ co-doping and carbon nanotube (CNT) compositing is employed. A novel TiCr 0.5 Nb 10.5 O 29 /CNTs nanocomposite with 9.1 wt% CNTs is fabricated by a direct hydrolysis process followed by calcination in N 2 . The Cr 3+ –Nb 5+ co-doping significantly improves the electronic conductivity and Li + -ion diffusion coefficient of Ti 2 Nb 10 O 29 by three orders and one order of magnitude, respectively. The CNT compositing not only enhances the electrical conduction among the TiCr 0.5 Nb 10.5 O 29 particles but also hinders the particle growth in the hydrolysis process, leading to the small particle sizes. Due to the synergistic effect of these advantages, the TiCr 0.5 Nb 10.5 O 29 /CNTs nanocomposite exhibits a high rate capability with a high capacity of 206 mAh g −1 at 20 C, surpassing those of Ti 2 Nb 10 O 29 (145 mAh g −1 ) and TiCr 0.5 Nb 10.5 O 29 nanoparticles (187 mAh g −1 ). Additionally, TiCr 0.5 Nb 10.5 O 29 /CNTs delivers a high reversible capacity (297 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C) and cyclic stability (95.0% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 10 C). This good electrochemical performance reveals that TiCr 0.5 Nb 10.5 O 29 /CNTs can be an advanced anode material for high-performance Li + -ion storage.

It is well known that the improvement of crystal quality and photoelectric properties of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) is one of the key issues in enhancing power conversion efficiency (PCE). To resolve this problem, we selected Li2CO3 as a Li source to prepare Li-doped CZTSSe by annealing Li-doped Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) precursor films in air, followed by selenization (CZTSSe-Li-A). It is interesting that the air annealing leads to the incorporation of Li and O into CZTSSe in the form of Li-O pairs, which improves the crystal quality and absorption coefficient (α) of CZTSSe-Li-A and decreases its hole concentration and resistivity compared with Li-doped CZTSSe prepared using Li-doped CZTS that is not annealed in air (CZTSSe-Li). By optimizing Li doping concentration, annealing temperature and time, the highest PCE of CZTSSe-Li-A solar cell without MgF anti-reflection layer reaches 11.13%, which is larger than the highest PCE of CZTSSe-Li solar cell (10.21%). Quantitative analysis indicates that the increased PCE of CZTSSe-Li-A solar cell compared to CZTSSe-Li solar cell is mainly attributed to the decrease in reverse saturation current density (J0) and series resistance (Rs) caused by thermal effect of the air annealing, followed by an increase in photogeneration density (JL) and shunt resistance (Rsh). The decreased J0 is due to a reduction in interfacial defect density, increased JL is due to increase in α and depletion region width, and decreased Rs and increased Rsh are due to improve crystal quality. This work offers a route for the improvement of PCE of CZTSSe solar cells.

Nanosized oxygen-deficient orthorhombic niobium pentoxide (Nb 2 O 5-x ) that possess high electronic conductivity and stable cycle performance for Li storage are uniformly deposited on the surface of mesophase carbon microspheres (MCMB), which as a whole exhibits very encouraging electrochemical Li ion storage performance, including a high specific capacity of 107 mAh g −1 at 10C (1C = 372 mA g −1 ) and a high capacity retention of 85.4 % after 300 cycles at 3C in the optimized case. The Li + diffusion coefficient of the composite anode as determined by the potentiostatic intermittent titration technique (PITT) is obviously improved as compared to that of pristine MCMB. Ex situ X-ray diffraction characterizations confirm the phase transformation from orthorhombic Nb 2 O 5-x to amorphous Li y Nb 2 O 5-x accompanied by the formation of NbO through a conversion reaction in the first lithiation process. The ultrafast Li + diffusion within the amorphous Li y Nb 2 O 5-x as well as the current-sharing effect of the secondary particles can explain the much enhanced Li ion storage property. The results of this work convincingly demonstrate that designing MCMB/Nb 2 O 5-x composite can be a more practical way to improve the energy and powder densities of Li-ion batteries rather than seeking alternative anode materials with higher capacities.

The Mg 2+ /Li + screening selectivity determines the practical application of nanofiltration technology in lithium extraction from salt-lake brines and industrial lithium production. In this work, a membrane structure design strategy based on the interlayers was developed to prepare nanofiltration (NF) membranes with high Mg 2+ /Li + separation selectivity and high permeability. Through investigating the influence of the interlayer charge on the structure and performance of the NF membrane, the interlayer for the preparation of the NF membrane with high Mg 2+ /Li + separation selectivity was screened. Relevant characterizations indicate that the positively charged interlayer can endow the NF membrane with appropriate pore size and surface charge density to achieve high Mg 2+ /Li + separation selectivity through the synergistic effect of size sieving and Donnan exclusion. Moreover, the pore size of the NF membrane is controlled by the release rate of the piperazine (PIP) from the interlayer, while the surface charge density of the NF membrane is jointly determined by the charge of the interlayer and PA layer. The performance evaluation suggests that the NF membrane prepared with the best screened interlayer has a Mg 2+ /Li + separation factor up to 88.6 while maintaining a high permeability (22.5 L m −2 h −1 ·bar −1 ), which is better than that of the most membranes reported in the literature. Overall, this work is expected to promote the practical application of NF membranes in lithium extraction from salt-lake brines and industrial lithium production.

Modification of three-dimensional (3D) carbon hosts with metal oxides has been considered as advantageous for the formation of Li 2 O-rich solid electrolyte interface (SEI), which can show fast Li + diffusion, and meanwhile alleviate dendrite problems caused by fragility and nonuniformity of native SEIs. However, the lack of convincing experimental evidence has made it difficult to unveil the true origin of oxygen in Li 2 O-rich SEIs until now. Herein, CoO x embedded carbon nanofibers (CNF-CoO x ) are successfully prepared as high-performance Li anode hosts. By employing 18 O isotope labeling, the role of CoO x during SEI evolution is elucidated, revealing that CoO x contributes significantly to Li 2 O formation by delivering oxygen. Benefiting from the rich Li 2 O content, the as-formed SEIs greatly improve the Li + migration kinetics, and therefore, the CNF-CoO x @Li anode can exhibit excellent cycling stability in half, symmetrical, and full cells.
