As one of the most stable metal-organtic framework (MOF), zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) has been widely studied for applications in the field of energy storage, catalysis, and environment protection. In this paper, ZIF-8 was employed to enhance the electrochemical properties and thermal stability of the electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride- co -hexafluoropropylene)/polyacrylonitrile (PVDF-HFP/PAN) composite separator. The results indicate that the test cells assembled with the composite separators show improved rate capability, high discharge capacity, and stable cycling performances. The addition of ZIF-8 can improve the affinity of PVDF-HFP/PAN toward liquid electrolytes, and further enhance the ionic conductivity of the composite separators. In addition, the thermal stability of the PVDF-HFP/PAN separator has been improved by ZIF-8 nanoparticles . This work can provide insight into the application of MOF materials in Li-ion batteries.

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have high theoretical energy density but low sulfur utilization due to the inherent insulating nature of sulfur and the shuttle effect of polysulfides. Herein, the CO2-activation carbon paper was prepared by poly(p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole) (PBO) nanofiber and was first applied as an interlayer for efficiently alleviating the shuttle effect of polysulfides in Li–S batteries. This interlayer exhibits good flexibility and strength with rich −C═O and −COOH functional groups on the three-dimensional porous structure, which improves chemical adsorption on Li2Sx species and ion rapid diffusion via interconnected diffusion channels and thus enhances the electrochemical kinetics. The initial specific capacity is 1367.4 mAh g–1 and remains 999.8 mAh g–1 after 200 cycles at 0.2C and 780.1 mAh g–1 at 5C, and the Coulombic efficiency is high, up to 99.8%, which is much better than that for the carbon paper without CO2 activation. The highly conductive flexible PBO carbon paper may bring breakthroughs in performance and thus lead to more practical applications of Li–S batteries.

With the rapid development of Li-ion batteries (LiBs), the demand for lithium sharply increased. Salt lakes contribute to major extractable lithium in the world, however, the efficient separation of Mg 2+ and Li + remains a challenge. The PEI-based nanofiltration (NF) membrane shows great potential for Mg 2+ /Li + separation in recent studies, due to its positively charged surface and tunable pore size. In this work, ethylenediamine-terminated polyethyleneimine (EDA@PEI) was utilized as the aqueous monomer reacting with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) via interfacial polymerization (IP) to fabricate a new class of PEI-based NF membranes. This work explored critical membrane fabrication parameters and characterizations of EDA@PEI NF membranes. Additionally, this work compared EDA@PEI-TMC and PEI-TMC membranes on their physicochemical properties and NF performance. The results show that PEI containing EDA groups at ends provides the probability for connection of the backbone via TMC, thus enhancing the cross-linking degree (DNC) of EDA@PEI NF membranes. Meanwhile, the presence of EDA groups enhances the Zeta potential of membranes. The best-performing EDA@PEI-TMC membrane exhibits the highest rejection for Mg 2+ of 99.21 %, and excellent Mg 2+ /Li + separation that S Li/Mg reaches 69.20, 80.62 and 46.79 at Mg 2+ /Li + mass ratios of 40:1, 60:1, and 120:1, respectively. During a 48-h NF test, EDA@PEI-TFC membrane shows consistent performance and steady flux. This work demonstrates the great application potential of EDA@PEI NF membranes for Mg 2+ /Li + separation, and provides a candidate for fabricating PEI-based NF membranes.

Silicon is regarded as the most promising candidate due to its ultrahigh theoretical energy density (4200 mAh g −1 ). However, the large volume expansion of silicon nanoparticles would result in the destruction of electrodes and a shortened cycle lifetime. Here, inspired by the natural structure of bamboo, the silicon anode with vascular bundle-like structure is proposed to improve the electrochemical performance for the first time. The dense channel wall in the silicon anode can accommodate the volume change of silicon nanoparticles and the transport of ions and electrons is also enhanced. The obtained silicon anodes display excellent mechanical properties (50% compression resilience and the average peel force of 4.34 N) and good wettability. What more, the silicon anodes exhibit high initial coulombic efficiency (94.5%), excellent cycle stability (2100 mAh g −1 after 300 cycles) which stands out among the silicon anodes. Specially, the silicon anode with impressive areal capacity of 36.36 mAh cm −2 and initial coulombic efficiency of 84% is also achieved. This work offers a novel and efficient strategy for the preparation of the flexible electrodes with outstanding performance.

Li||LiFePO 4 (LFP) batteries have good stability and high energy density . However, they exhibit unsatisfactory low-temperature electrochemical performance . Due to the fragile interfacial passivation layers and sluggish kinetics, commercial electrolytes fail to simultaneously achieve acceptable stabilization with dual electrodes in low-temperature Li||LFP batteries. Herein, a novel localized high-concentration electrolyte (LHCE) with great dual-electrodes compatibility is proposed to match with the low-temperature Li||LFP batteries. With increasing local concentration, the FSI - sequentially replaces the solvent molecules and enters the first solvation sheath, forming the anion-dominated solvation structures. This effectively suppresses free solvents decomposition and constructs the anion-derived passivation layers with inorganic-rich components, further contributing to the rapid transport kinetics and endowing the LHCE with great dual electrodes compatibility. These dual-electrodes co-stabilization effects of the LHCE are originally clarified in the low-temperature Li||LFP batteries. The designed LHCE also delivers low freezing point (-99.8 ℃), high ionic conductivity (2.4 mS cm −1 at −40 ℃), and superior stability (>4.7 V vs. Li/Li + ). Hence, the Li||LFP batteries with LHCE possess superb cyclic stability at low temperatures, delivering a high discharge capacity of 120 mAh g −1 over 300 cycles at −20 ℃. Moreover, compared to commercial electrolytes, LHCE endows the Li||LFP batteries with superior low-temperature performances under practical conditions, including limited Li anode (3 mAh cm −2 ) and a wide temperature range (30 ℃ to −40 ℃).

Commercial separators (polyolefin separators) for lithium-ion batteries still have defects such as low thermostability and inferior interface compatibility, which result in serious potential safety distress and poor electrochemical performance. Zeolite/Polyacrylonitrile (Z/PAN) composite separators have been fabricated by electrospinning a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane and then dip-coating it with zeolite (ZSM-5). Different from commercial separators, the Z/PAN composite separators exhibit high electrolyte uptake, excellent ionic conductivity, and prominent thermal stability. Specifically, the Z/PAN-1.5 separator exhibits the best performance, with a high electrolyte uptake of 308.1% and an excellent ionic conductivity of 2.158 mS·cm−1. The Z/PAN-1.5 separator may mechanically shrink less than 10% when held at 180 °C for 30 min, proving good thermal stability. Compared with the pristine PAN separator, the Li/separator/LiFePO4cells with the Z/PAN-1.5 composite separator have excellent high-rate discharge capacity (102.2 mAh·g−1at 7 C) and favorable cycling performance (144.9 mAh·g−1at 0.5 C after 100 cycles). Obviously, the Z/PAN-1.5 separator holds great promise in furthering the safety and performance of lithium-ion batteries.Keywords:separator;electrospinning;polyacrylonitrile;zeolite;lithium-ion batteries

The transition metal oxides (TMOs) with high volumetric capacities are promising anodes for the future electronics, however, they usually suffer from severe capacity decay and poor rate capability. Carbon hybridization and nanosizing can resolve these challenges, yet these significantly compromise the volumetric capacity. Herein, both high capacity and long cycling stability are simultaneously achieved in the micrometer-sized Mo-based oxide particles by designing the dual conductive MoO 2 /β-MoO 3- x mosaics. The rational combination of the highly electronically conductive MoO 2 with the highly ionically conductive and open-structured β-MoO 3 achieves a promising volumetric capacity of 1742 mAh cm −3 , which is four times higher than the commercial graphite. Simultaneously, both stable cycling performance (87% retention after 500 cycles) and excellent rate capability (outperformed a majority of the MoO 2 -based anodes reported in literature) are obtained in the lithium-ion batteries. For the sodium-ion batteries, the composite exhibits three times higher Na + storage than pure MoO 2 . Moreover, the decisive role of the bond energy on the electrochemical performance of TMOs is also identified. This study may open up new perspectives for choosing and designing the TMO anodes with a high volumetric capacity for the practical applications.

The reduction of O 2 to solid Li 2 O 2 on discharge and the reverse oxidation of Li 2 O 2 to O 2 on recharge are the essential processes to determine the performance of Li-O 2 batteries. The discovery of effective catalysts with a favorable Li 2 O 2 formation/decomposition mechanism is vital for the development of high-performance Li-O 2 batteries. Here, a soluble catalyst of iodosylbenzene (PhIO) that can offer a highly reversible O 2 conversion is reported for the first time. Benefiting from its ability to capture and couple the LiO 2 intermediate, which is endowed by its polarized I 3+ O 2− bond where the I atom and O atom can serve as a Lewis acidic site and basic site (dual site) to interact with O 2 − and Li + , respectively, the formation and decomposition of Li 2 O 2 by a one-electron pathway can be effectively promoted, thus greatly improving the electrode surface passivation issue and the reaction kinetics. In addition, the side reactions caused by the traditional high-reactive LiO 2 intermediate can also be effectively suppressed by forming a series of low-reactive intermediates (LiO 2 3PhIO, (LiO 2 ) 2 4PhIO, and Li 2 O 2 4PhIO) instead. Consequently, the PhIO-catalyzed Li–O 2 batteries exhibit a low overpotential, a large capacity, and a good cyclability.

Lithium-doped bismuth oxide nanoplates with the thickness of 50–150 nm and tetragonal bismuth oxide, monoclinic lithium bismuthate phases have been synthesized via a simple hydrothermal process using lithium acetate and sodium bismuthate as the raw materials. Cobalt nanoparticles modified lithium-doped bismuth oxide nanoplates hybrids were obtained by an in situ photo-deposition route. The cobalt nanoparticles-modified nanoplates hybrids display significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity toward gentian violet compared with the nanoplates. Gentian violet solution can be totally degraded by the hybrids within 60 min under ultraviolet–visible light irradiation. The superior photocatalytic activity of the cobalt nanoparticles modified nanoplates hybrids originates from the superior charge transfer capacity and the energy band structure of the hybrids. The excellent photocatalytic performance makes the cobalt nanoparticles modified nanoplates hybrids a promising candidate as the photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.

It is crucial to design effective cathode catalysts for high performance of Li–O 2 batteries (LOBs). Herein, porous LaCo 0.6 Ni 0.4 O 3 nanofibers decorated with ultrafine Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles (Co 3 O 4 @LCN NFs) are designed and employed as cathode catalyst for LOBs. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement results suggested that uniform dispreading of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles on LCN NFs surface could largely increase the surface chemisorbed oxygen, resulting in enhanced catalytic activity. Furthermore, with the assistance of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles, Co 3 O 4 @LCN NFs can significantly facilitate O 2 adsorption and diffusion, Li 2 O 2 nucleation/decomposition and the formation of tiny sheet-like Li 2 O 2 , thereby achieving a low charge overpotential. A high specific capacity of 11,288 mA h g −1 , a low charge voltage plateau of 3.72 V at first cycle and excellent cycle stability of 116 cycles at 1000 mA g −1 are obtained for LOBs with Co 3 O 4 @LCN NFs.

The Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 : Er 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphors co-doped with Li + and Li + /Mg 2+ ions were prepared via solid state reaction method. The effects of Li + and Mg 2+ co-doping on the structure and morphology of Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 : Er 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphors were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) observations. The 980 nm excitation assisted UC luminescence intensity for green and red band was enhanced by 8.7 and 14.3 times respectively after co-doping with Li + /Mg 2+ ions in Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 : Er 3+ /Yb 3+ , which could be explained based on the variations in crystal structure and particle size. Using the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique, the impact of 980 nm pump power on the thermometric behaviors was studied based on the thermally coupled levels of 2 H 11/2 and 4 S 3/2 of Er 3+ ions. Due to the unique thermal properties of the Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 host, the temperature increment caused by laser thermal effect was minimized, benefiting the consistency of FIR data over a wide range of pump power density. Besides, a high relative sensor sensitivity of 1.17%K −1 was obtained for Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 : Er 3+ /Yb 3+ /Li + /Mg 2+ phosphors. These characteristics may make the studied system applicable for optical temperature sensor with high accuracy.

Li–S battery is considered as one of the most competitive energy storage devices mainly due to the high theoretical specific capacity and high specific energy. However, when facing with the practical application, some issues, especially poor electro-conductivity of element sulfur and severe polysulfides (LiPSs) migration, are still needed to solve to further improve the performance of the Li–S batteries. Aiming at the above two disadvantages, in this work, multifunctional separators are designed as efficient LiPSs absorber via coating vapor grown carbon fiber/MoS 2 (VGCF/MoS 2 ) composites on the polypropylene separator (PP) near the cathode side. For the as-prepared VGCF/MoS 2 coated polypropylene separator (VM/PP), MoS 2 could provide strong chemical adsorption for the LiPSs, while the VGCF framework could act as an electronic transmission channel for the conversion of LiPSs, and also provide physical adsorption for LiPSs at the same time. Benefit from these characteristics, the batteries with VM/PP exhibits a high initial capacity of 1208.7 mAh g −1 at 0.2C and maintains at 862.4 mAh g −1 after 200 cycles. Impressively, the VM/PP shows the high specific capacity of 904.3 mAh g −1 and long-lasting cycling stability with 0.03% capacity attenuation per cycle over 600 cycles at 1.0C, demonstrating excellent electrochemical performance.
