In order to improve the electrochemical performance of LiMn 2 O 4 at elevated temperatures, a series of Li 1.2 Ni 0.2 Mn 0.6 O 2 -modified LiMn 2 O 4 samples have been synthesized by a facile sol-gel method. The structure and morphology of pristine and modified LiMn 2 O 4 are investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The Li 1.2 Ni 0.2 Mn 0.6 O 2 coating layer is identified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which plays an important role in reducing the dissolution of manganese, thereby improving the cycle performance and rate capability of the material. The 2 wt% Li 1.2 Ni 0.2 Mn 0.6 O 2 -modified LiMn 2 O 4 sample exhibits a higher capacity retention of 95.88% than that of the pristine one (81.2%) after 200 cycles at 1C and 25 °C. Furthermore, a capacity retention of 89.74% is obtained for the 2 wt%-modified LiMn 2 O 4 sample after 200 cycles at 1C and 55 °C, compared to 66.34% for the pristine one. Surface modification with a Li-rich Li 1.2 Ni 0.2 Mn 0.6 O 2 material is a good way to improve the elevated temperature performance of LiMn 2 O 4 .

Dealing with the water molecule on the surface of LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 (NCM) cathode and hydrogen fluoride in the electrolyte is one of the most difficult challenges in Li-ion battery research. In this paper, the surface polymerization of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) on NCM to generate ethoxy-functional polysiloxane (EPS) wrapped NCM (E-NCM) cathode under mild conditions and without any additions is utilized to solve this intractable problem. The differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results show that the formed amorphous coating can provide a protective shell to improve the NCM thermal stability, suppress the thickening of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, and scavenge HF in the electrolyte. The E-NCM composite with 2 mol % EPS delivers a high discharge capacity retention of 84.9% after 100 cycles at a 1 C discharge rate in the 2.8–4.3 V potential range at 55 °C. Moreover, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements reveal that the EPS coating could alleviate the impedance rise during cycling especially at an elevated temperature. Therefore, the fabricated E-NCM cathode with long-term cycling and thermal stability is a promising candidate for use in a high-energy Li-ion battery.

Monascus can produce many beneficial metabolites; however, it can simultaneously also produce citrinin, which seriously limits its application. Therefore, reducing the production of citrinin is of great interest. Herein, Monascus aurantiacus Li AS3.4384 (MAL) was used to optimize the liquid-state fermentation process and investigate the effects of genistein and other flavonoids on citrinin, pigments, and biomass of MAL. Results showed that citrinin decreased by 80%, pigments and biomass increased by approximately 20% in 12 days with addition of 20.0 g/L rice powder as a carbon source and 2.0 g/L genistein during shaking liquid-state fermentation. Further, genistein, daidzein, luteolin, apigenin, quercetin, baicalein, kaempferol myricetin, and genistin exerted different effects on citrinin production by MAL, with genistein causing the highest reduction in citrinin production during liquid-state fermentation, possibly due to the presence of C5-OH, C4′-OH, and C7-OH. Therefore, genistein can be added to the fermentation process of Monascus to reduce citrinin.

P2-type layered cathode materials have low energy density due to low initial Na content. In this research, high sodium content P2-type cathode material Na0.8Li0.08Ni0.23Mn0.67Cu0.1O1.92F0.08 (NMC-LF), was synthesized by a simple high-temperature solid-phase method. The strong electronegativity of F allows the local TM-O bond to be transformed into a TM-F bond, and the TMO6 octahedron becomes more stable. The doping of Li+ not only maintains structural stability but also transforms the two-phase reaction in the high-voltage range into a solid-solution reaction. This leads to an effective suppression of the irreversible P2–O2 phase transition in the high-voltage region. At 20 mA·g–1, the initial discharge capacity of NMC-LF reaches 131.05 mAh·g–1. At a high current density of 200 mA·g–1, the discharge capacity reaches 101.9 mAh·g–1 and remains at 99.31% after 150 cycles. The diffusion coefficient of NMC-LF is as high as 8.67 × 10–13 cm2·s–1. Furthermore, the structural evolution during material formation is elaborated by high-temperature XRD, and it is determined that there are no impurities at 900 °C. Under the joint synergy of Li/F/Cu and the design of high sodium content, the long-cyclic and high-rate performance has been significantly improved. In-situ XRD tests show that Li/F/Cu codoping inhibits the P2–O2 phase transition and enhances structural reversibility. This provides a new idea for the research of layered cathode materials.

Rapid Li+ transport channels in composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) are often attributed to organic–inorganic interfaces. However, slow Li+ transport through polymer chains is still dominant due to inefficient interface construction and weak interface interactions. In this study, interface-dominated Li+ transport was achieved in ultracompatible CSEs by modifying sub-1 nm inorganic cluster chains (ICCs) with polyether amine (PEA). The abundant amino groups in PEA made ICCs monodisperse in the PVDF-HFP matrix and form hydrogen bonds with polymer chains. The distribution of organic–inorganic interfaces and interfacial hydrogen bonds was amplified by the multidimensional optimized interfaces. Moreover, the direction of −CF2– groups was regulated by the hydrogen bonds to provide rich and continuous interface interaction sites and local charge accumulation regions for more free Li+ and more Li+ transport pathways, thereby making the Li+ interface transport dominant (52%) for the overall Li+ transport in CSEs. Consequently, the as-obtained composite solid electrolyte exhibits exceptional room temperature ionic conductivity (0.53 mS cm–1), a substantial Li+ transference number (0.65), and a stable cycling performance (95% capacity retention of NCM/Li batteries after 500 cycles at 0.5 C). This work introduces key concepts for the practical application of ICCs and outlines core design principles for composite solid electrolytes.

Herein, balsa wood, poplar wood, and birch wood were selected to systematically study precursors on the structure and Li-storage properties of wood-based hard carbon thick electrodes (WHCTEs). After carbonization, the densities of balsa, poplar, and birch carbon (Bal-W, Pop-W, and Bir-W) reach 99.29, 279.13, and 608.14 mg cm⁻ 3 , respectively. The specific surface areas of Bal-W, Pop-W, and Bir-W are 798, 729, and 609 m 2 g⁻ 1 , respectively. Bal-W is rich in mesopores at 2–4 nm; Pop-W also has a certain amount of mesopores; while Bir-W has almost no mesopores but large numbers of micropores concentrated at 1.2 and 1.6 nm. In the battery test, due to the highest mass loading, Bir-W retained the largest remaining capacity among the three samples after 200 cycles at 1 mA cm⁻ 2 . The remaining capacities of Bal-W, Pop-W, and Bir-W are 12.27, 34.15, and 41.03 Ah L⁻ 1 , respectively. It is found that mass loading, specific surface area, and pore size distribution have a greater influence on the electrode capacity performance. In addition, the kinetic features of the Li-ion storage of WHCTEs were studied. This work may provide an important reference for the field of WHCTEs for alkali metal ion batteries and can promote its practical application.

Although lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have long been touted as next-generation energy storage devices, the rampant dendrite growth at the anode side and sluggish redox kinetics at the cathode side drastically impede their practical application. Herein, a dual-functional fibrous skeleton implanted with single-atom Co–Nx dispersion is devised as an advanced modificator to realize concurrent regulation of both electrodes. The rational integration of single-atomic Co–Nx sites could convert the fibrous carbon skeleton from lithiophobic to lithiophilic, helping assuage the dendritic formation for the Li anode. Meanwhile, the favorable electrocatalytic activity from the Co–Nx species affording a lightweight feature effectively enables expedited bidirectional conversion kinetics of sulfur electrochemistry, thereby inhibiting the polysulfide shuttle. Moreover, the interconnected porous framework endows the entire skeleton with good mechanical robustness and fast electron/ion transportation. Benefiting from the synergistic effects between atomically dispersed Co–Nx sites and three-dimensional conductive networks, the integrated Li–S full batteries can achieve a reversible areal capacity (>7.0 mAh cm–2) at a sulfur loading of 6.9 mg cm–2. This work might be beneficial to the development of practically viable Li–S batteries harnessing single-atom mediators.

The separation of Li + and Mg 2+ is a decisive step for achieving high-grade lithium extraction from salt-lake brines to circumvent the lithium supply shortage and sustainability. However, polymer nanofiltration membranes suffer from low lithium selectivity and are hindered by complicated preparation and miniaturized scales. Here, we report a facile surface charge-inversion strategy via a unique secondary non-aqueous medium interfacial reaction of polyethyleneimine to construct a selective positive-nanolayer on nanofiltration membranes surface for selective separation of lithium ions from concentrated magnesium/lithium mixtures. The introduction of amine moieties not only increases the Donnan potential but also improves the compactness of the membrane, which simultaneously enhances the Donnan exclusion and size sieving for the Mg 2+ ion with higher valence and larger hydration ion size. The surface interaction theory (DLVO) verified that the high positive-charge density provided an excellent selectivity to allow passage of Li + but reject Mg 2+ , and the separation factor ( S Li/Mg ) achieved 12.37 at a high Mg 2+ /Li + mass ratio of 150. Such highly positive transmembrane potential barrier simultaneously endowed the membrane surface with the anti-fouling performance against Ca 2+ . We anticipate that our facile and scalable surface charge-inversion will greatly advance lithium ions permselectivity membranes design and application in lithium extraction.

SnCo alloy nanowires were successfully electrodeposited from SnCl 2 −CoCl 2 −1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (EMIC) ionic liquid without a template. The nanowires were obtained from the molar ratio of 5:40:60 for SnCl 2 :CoCl 2 :EMIC at −0.55 V and showed a minimum diameter of about 50 nm and lengths of over 20 μm. The as-fabricated SnCo nanowires were about 70 nm in diameter and featured a Sn/Co weight ratio of 3.85:1, when used as an anode for a Li-ion battery, they presented respective specific capacities of 687 and 678 mAh·g −1 after the first charge and discharge cycle and maintained capacities of about 654 mAh·g−1 after 60 cycles and 539 mAh·g −1 after 80 cycles at a current density of 300 mA·g −1 . Both the nanowire structure and presence of elemental Co helped buffer large volume changes in the Sn anode during charging and discharging to a certain extent, thereby improving the cycling performance of the Sn anode.

Al-contained Li7–xLa3Zr2–xTaxO12 (xTa-LLZO) powder was synthesized via solid-state reaction, where increasing the Ta doping level was found to reduce the average particle size and facilitate a higher relative density in the sintered pellet. 0.8Ta-LLZO pellets sintered at 1150 °C achieved a relative density of 96.2 ± 0.2% and survived the Li striping/plating test under a unidirectional current polarization of 0.5 mA/cm2 for more than 8 h without short-circuiting. In contrast, other xTa-LLZO sintered pellets with lower Ta doping levels were short-circuited by lithium dendrites after polarization for much shorter time periods. The microstructure of the sintered body played a more essential role in lithium dendrite prevention compared to relative density alone. By characterizing the microstructure of xTa-LLZO sintered pellets, we proposed a formation mechanism of the pathways for lithium dendrite growth.

The overcharge safety performance of lithium-ion batteries has been the major bottleneck in the widespread deployment of this promising technology. Pushing the limitations further may jeopardize cell safety when it is performed at high-temperature storage. On the basis of the lacking systematic research on overcharge protection electrolyte additives with high-temperature storage capacity, we explore the promotion effect of overcharge additives on electrolyte decomposition at 60 °C. Specifically, the addition of tris(trimethylsily) phosphite (TMSP) and lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) in the electrolyte can not only form the robust cathode electrolyte interface/solid electrolyte interphase (CEI/SEI) but also improve the thermal stability of the electrolyte. Therefore, we promote the electrolyte system to realize the 18,650 LIB storage at 60 °C for 50 days by optimizing the formula in the electrolyte containing biphenyl (BP) and cyclohexylbenzene (CHB) overcharge protection additives, and the capacity retention rate can reach more than 90% with overcharge safety. Further, the optimized electrolyte system has also been implemented to commercial 18,650 LIBs and demonstrates the widening of the route to the widespread application of the electrolyte under extreme conditions.
