Lithium (Li) - and manganese (Mn)-rich oxides ( x Li 2 MnO 3 ·(1− x ) Li TM O 2 , TM = Ni, Co, Mn, etc.) are one of the most promising cathode materials because of their high theorical capacity, which is contributed by the redox of both transition metal cations and oxygen anion. However, anionic redox leads to transition-metal migration and release of lattice oxygen, which further triggers voltage decay and capacity fade. Here, we report a dual-doping and multiphase co-existence strategy to tackle the structure degradation of Li- and Mn-rich materials and enhance electrochemical kinetics. La–Ti dual cations doping strength the TM -O bonds and improve cycling stability, and the inducement of LaMnO 3+ δ (LaMO) phase provides higher conductivity. As a result, the unique architecture presents a favourable rate performance, improved capacity retention, and suppressed voltage decay. After 200 cycles at 1C (250 mA g −1 ), the La–Ti dual cations doped Li-and Mn-rich material shows 24 % higher capacity retention and 52 % lower voltage decay compared to the non-doped material. This study demonstrates the potential of dual transition-metal ion doping combined with doping-induced perovskite phase to enhance the performance of Li- and Mn-rich materials.

Li–La–Zr–O thin films were successfully fabricated using the sol-gel spin coating method and the effects of the addition of surfactant in the solution were studied. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Atomic Force Microscope were used to investigate the characteristics of these films and an amorphous structure and smooth surface on the films were revealed. The ionic conductivity of the film was investigated by impedance analysis. The results showed that the room-temperature ionic conductivity of the film increases with the content of surfactant, from 1.8 × 10 −6 S/cm for 0.5 wt% to 3.9 × 10 −6 S/cm for 1.5 wt%. However, further increasing the content of surfactant can deteriorate the property of the thin film on the contrary. The improvement of the property can be attributed to the improvement of the morphology of the film. We propose that this Li–La–Zr–O thin film is a promising solid electrolyte for thin-film lithium-ion batteries.

Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 is a promising photovoltaic material due to its tunable bandgap, high thermal stability, and low-cost production potential. However, films produced by close-spaced sublimation (CSS) often suffer from defects that reduce efficiency. In this work, lithium (Li) doping was introduced to improve crystal quality, carrier concentration, and conductivity. The lithium was incorporated into the sublimation source via molten salt treatment, resulting in a uniform Li-Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 thin film. The resulting ITO/CdS/Li-Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 /PbS/Carbon solar cell achieved a power conversion efficiency of 6.18%, a significant improvement over undoped devices. The study further investigates the optoelectronic properties, revealing that Li doping effectively reduces non-radiative recombination, improves carrier extraction, and increases the valence band maximum (VBM), optimizing energy level alignment for enhanced hole transport. Additionally, the improved surface conductivity and higher carrier concentration due to Li doping contributed to enhanced carrier transport and reduced recombination.This research demonstrates that alkali metal doping can enhance the optoelectronic properties of Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 films, providing a pathway for further efficiency improvements in antimony-based thin-film solar cells.

The NASICON-type ceramic Li 1·5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO4) 3 (LAGP) electrolyte has been proposed as the most competitive candidates of electrolyte materials toward solid-state Li metal batteries (LMBs) by reason of its high ionic conductivity , cyclic stability under extreme temperatures and wide voltage window. However, poor interface contact, high interfacial resistance and intractable mechanical properties greatly limit its practical applications. In this work, an inorganic-polymer “LAGP in PVDF” quasi-solid-state electrolyte (QSSE) is developed via solution casting method, in which pyr14TFSI ionic liquid (IL) and LiTFSI are combined as functional wetting interface . Benefiting from the coherent interaction of LAGP nanoparticles incorporated into the polymer matrix , and inherent protection of IL, the overall performance of the optimized QSSE include thermal stability, dense structure, flexibility and electrochemical properties . The XRD, SEM, XPS tests demonstrate that the IL using as a solid/electrolyte modified interlayer can enhance Li + transport, interfacial infiltration and homogenize lithium deposition. The LiFePO 4 |PL-25LAGP|Li solid-state battery presents an excellent circulation performance under ambient temperature, which displayed an initial discharge specific capacity of 146.8 mAh g −1 at 0.5C and capacity retention of 96.25 % after 150 cycles. The flexibility PL-LAGP CSE shows superior safety and greater development potential for the “LAGP in PVDF” composite electrolyte in solid state LMBs.

Although Mg-Li dual metal-ion batteries are proposed as a superior system that unite safety of Mg-batteries and performance of Li-ion based systems, its practical implantation is limited due to the lack of reliable high performance cathodes. Herein, we report a high-performance Mg-Li dual metal-ion battery system based on highly pseudocapacitive hierarchical TiO2-B nanosheet assembled spheres (NS) cathode. This 2D cathode displayed exceptional pseudocapacitance (a maximum of 93%) specific capacity (303 mAh/g at 25 mA/g), rate performance (210 mAh/g at 1A/g), consistent cycling (retain ~100% capacity for 3000 cycles at 1A/g), coulombic efficiency (nearly 100%) and fast-charging (~12.1 min). These properties are remarkably dominant to the existing Mg-Li dual metal-ion battery cathodes. Spectroscopic and microscopic mechanistic studies confirmed negligible structural changes during charge-discharge cycles of the TiO2-B nanosheet assembled spheres electrodes. Exceptional electrochemical properties of the 2D electrode is ascribed to remarkable pseudocapacitive Mg-Li dual metal-ion diffusion via the numerous nanointerfaces of TiO2-B caused by its hierarchical microstrucrure. Large surface area, nanosheet morphology, mesoporous structure and ultrathin nature also acted as secondary factors facilitating improved electrode-electrolyte contact. Demonstrated approach of pseudocapacitive type Mg-Li dual metal-ion intercalation through hierarchical nanointerfaces may be further utilized for the designing of numerous top-notch electrode materials for futuristic Mg-Li dual metal-ion batteries

In this work, Li preintercalated λ-Li x MnO 2 with tunable lithium content is synthesized, which exhibited excellent electrochemical performance and dual-mode electrochemical storage behavior. Double-layer capacitive and diffusion-controlled Faradaic processes play a role in the charge–discharge process, leading to an enhanced lithium selective adsorption capacity. When employed in hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI), the λ-Li 1.5 MnO 2 obtains a Li + adsorption capacity of 33.68 mg g −1 in 32.74 mg L −1 Li + ion solution and low energy consumption of 0.19 Wh g −1 . Moreover, the λ-Li 1.5 MnO 2 electrode exhibited outstanding cycling stability, with a significant capacity retention rate of 80% and a manganese mass dissolution rate of 1.2% over 100 intercalation/deintercalation cycles. λ-Li 1.5 MnO 2 achieved outstanding lithium selectivity with a separation factor ≈32.7 at a Mg 2+ /Li + molar ratio of 30 in synthetic brine. Importantly, λ-Li 1.5 MnO 2 achieved a high Li + adsorption capacity and good selectivity in Lop Nor, the low-grade original brine of the XieLi salt flats, making it a candidate electrode for lithium extraction from low-grade original brine. The pre-intercalation strategy offers a viable option for rationalizing other intercalation electrode materials for electrochemical lithium extraction from low-grade original brine.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are regarded as promising candidates for developing high energy–density Li metal batteries because of their flexible processability and low cost. However, the application of SPEs is still inherently impeded by the mediocre ionic conductivity and unstable Li/electrolyte interface. In this work, the silver fluoride (AgF) additive is introduced to optimize the ionic conductivity of PEO and induce the formation of stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer between Li metal and SPEs interface, thereby inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites. AgF can be complex with anions to promote the dissociation of Li + -TFSI − ion pairs, improving the mobility of Li + ions, as confirmed by experimental and computational studies. Moreover, the AgF converses to LiF and Li-Ag alloys via in-situ electrochemical reaction with Li anode, which can not only prevent the Li metal from parasitic reactions, but also reduce the concentration gradient of Li + ions. Hence, the Li|Li symmetric cell containing PEO-3 % AgF electrolyte demonstrates stable cyclability for 1800 h at 0.2 mA cm −2 (60 °C). When paired with a commercial LiFePO 4 cathode, the resulting all-solid-state Li-metal battery delivers remarkable cyclic performance of 126.9 mAh g −1 after 400 cycles (0.5 C). This work provides a new approach for the development of composite solid-state electrolyte films and lithium metal anodes in all-solid-state batteries.

Solid electrolytes are generated through in situ polymerization within batteries, which is one of the most promising methods for achieving solid-state lithium metal batteries with good interfacial contact, high safety, and high performance. Poly-1,3-dioxolane (PDOL), although a good in situ solidified electrolyte for lithium stability, has poor applicability in high-voltage battery systems. In order to improve the interfacial compatibility between PDOL and both the cathode and anode of high-voltage batteries. we herein design a sacrificial additive, diethyl (2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) phosphite (DETFPi), with a lower lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and higher highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy, through methods of calculation. After being loaded into the battery, DETFPi-DOL is in situ polymerized to form DETFPi-PDOL electrolyte. The Li||DETFPi-PDOL||Li symmetric battery operates stably for 2000 h at 0.5 mA cm–2, with an overpotential of only 16 mV. XPS analysis shows that an SEI layer with high LiF content is formed on the surface of the lithium anode after cycling, which promotes the uniform deposition of lithium ions and inhibits the growth of lithium dendrites. After 300 cycles, the NCM811||DETFPi-PDOL||Li battery exhibits a remaining capacity of 154.8 mAh g–1 (81%) within the 3.0–4.35 V range, meanwhile demonstrating excellent rate performance. Moreover, a uniform CEI layer containing pentavalent phosphorus and low LiF content is formed on the surface of the cathode after battery cycling. Finally, due to the improvement of the cathode interface, the increase of interfacial impedance of the battery after 300 cycles is reduced to half that of the PDOL battery.

Nanofiltration (NF) is commonly recognized as one of the effective technologies for the separation of magnesium (Mg 2+ ) and lithium (Li + ) from salt-lake brines. Charge repulsion and size exclusion effects often play an important role, whose functions primarily occur at the top surface and the matrix, respectively, of the skin layer. In this study, a novel nanofiltration (NF) membrane is prepared that integrates both size exclusion and charge repulsion effects into the matrix of the skin layer for enhanced Mg 2+ /Li + separation. With the surface-modified hydrophilic polyethylene (PE) membrane as the supporting layer, the prepared NF membrane successfully incorporated Fe 3+ ions into the matrix of the skin layer during the interfacial polymerization (IP). Fe 3+ ions which chelate with amine groups of PEI (aqueous-phase monomers during IP) ensure abundant positive charges within the matrix of the skin layer, providing good hydrophilicity and sustained electrostatic repulsive force against the transmembrane transport of Mg 2+ , and thus the enhanced rejection. Results exhibited a remarkable 92.6 % rejection rate for MgCl 2 and a higher water permeance of 22 LMH/bar, which is 1.57 times greater than that of the traditional PEI-TMC membranes. The nanofiltration process effectively reduced the Mg 2+ /Li + ratio from 50 in the feed to 5.4 in the permeate solution. It is also interesting to find that although the pore size of the skin layer (0.53 nm in radius) exceeds both the hydrated radii of Mg 2+ and Li + , the positive charges within the matrix of the skin layer still provide good selective separation performance, thus effectively breaking the trade-off of permeability and selectivity. This study offers a fresh perspective on the preparation of nanofiltration membranes by systematically exploring the potential of integration of charge repulsion and size exclusion effects into one location, i.e., the matrix of the skin layer for enhanced Mg 2+ /Li + separation performance.

The photo-assisted strategy is viewed as a promising method to improve the ORR and OER performance of Li–O 2 batteries. Nevertheless, designing a photocatalyst that ensures wide light absorption and minimizes the recombination of photoinduced electrons and holes is still a notable challenge. In this study, 2D porous Co 3 O 4 nanosheets are synthesized as photocatalysts for photo-assisted Li–O 2 batteries. Their unique structure improves surface area, facilitates O 2 transport, and stores discharge products. Equally, the Co 3 O 4 nanosheets exhibit strong light responsiveness and photocatalytic activity. Upon optical field, photoinduced electrons and holes are successfully separated on Co 3 O 4 nanosheets, which promotes the formation and decomposition of Li 2 O 2 , respectively. Li–O 2 cells using Co 3 O 4 nanosheets display a low overpotential of 0.15 V and good cycling stability under optical field. These findings highlight the potential of Co 3 O 4 nanosheets as photocatalysts for photo-assisted Li–O 2 batteries, providing a foundation for future energy storage advancements.

Li-rich Mn-based layered oxides with high specific capacity and operating voltages have become one of the most promising materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, it still faces several issues of low initial Coulombic efficiency, poor electronic conductivity, and voltage fading due to oxygen release and transition metal rearrangement during cycling. In this study, Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 (LMR) cathode material with Na ion doping (LMNaR) and CeO2 nanoparticle surface modification (LMNaR@CeO2) is prepared to realize a synergistic modification effect. The doping of Na ions enlarges Li layer spacing to effectively promote the insertion and extraction of lithium ions, which makes the layered structure more stable to reduce the effect of the phase transition. And the CeO2 nanoparticle surface modification restrains the side reactions between electrode and electrolyte, stabilizes lattice oxygen, and eases oxygen release. As a result, LMNaR@CeO2 displays a specific capacity of 196 mAh g–1 after 100 cycles at 0.5 C with a capacity retention of 94% and a merely voltage decay of 0.16 V, which are much better than those of LMR with a specific capacity of 159.6 mAh g–1 and only a 79% capacity retention. Our strategy here provides a feasible approach for the development of Li-rich Mn-based cathode materials for long-lived LIBs.

A facile synthesis of the hierarchically porous cathode with Mo 2 C nanoparticles through the electrospinning technique and heat treatment is proposed. The carbonization temperature of the precursors is the key factor for the formation of Mo 2 C nanoparticles on the carbon nanofibers (MCNFs). Compared with the Mo 2 N nanoparticles embedded into N-doped carbon nanofibers film (MNNFs) and N-doped carbon nanofibers film (NFs), the battery with MCNFs cathode is capable of operation with a high-capacity (10,509 mAh g −1 at 100 mA g −1 ), a much reduced discharge-charge voltage gap , and a long-term life (124 cycles at 200 mA g −1 with a specific capacity limit of 500 mAh g −1 ). These excellent performances are derived from the synergy of the following advantageous factors: (1) the hierarchically self-standing and binder-free structure of MCNFs could ensure the high diffusion flux of Li + and O 2 as well as avoid clogging of the discharge product, bulk Li 2 O 2 ; (2) the well dispersed Mo 2 C nanoparticles not only afford rich active sites, but also facilitate the electronic transfer for catalysis.
