High-voltage Ni-rich based lithium-ion batteries with long-term cycled life can be obtained by reasonable regulation of the nonaqueous electrolyte components. Herein, a novel multifunctional electrolyte additive , isatin anhydride (IAn) is dedicated to construct stable solid-electrolyte-interface (SEI) films on the both Ni-rich layered LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 (NCM523) cathode and graphite anode in a high-voltage pouch cell. Electrochemical tests reveal that IAn can significantly enhance the long-term cycling performance of the graphite/NCM523 full-cell at high voltage and high temperature. The pouch cell containing 1.0 wt% IAn shows an excellent capacity retention of 92.3% after 200 cycles between 3.0 and 4.5 V at 1.0C under 45 °C condition. In contrast, the cell without IAn appears a lower cycle performance after 192 cycles while the capacity retention decrease to 18.3%. Such obvious improvement of electrochemical performance contributes from the formation of thin and stable SEI films at two electrodes’ surfaces, leading to restraining the electrolyte decomposition and protecting material structures on the both cathode and anode .

Li-rich layered oxides (LLO) feature high delivery capacity are considered the most promising cathodes for the next-generation high-energy–density battery systems. Unfortunately, the LLO cathode suffers from poor cycling stability and fast voltage fading because of structural failure and unstable electrode/electrolyte interphase. Herein, we propose 2,4,6-trimethoxyboroxine (TMBX) as an effective electrolyte additive for enhancing the specific capacity and service life of LLO cathode. Impressively, the LLO/Li cell with 1 wt% TMBX exhibits a specific capacity of 226.3 mAh/g with a considerable cycling retention of 96.1% at 0.5 C after 200 cycles, while the capacity of the baseline cell is only 133.8 mAh/g and the cycling retention is less than 60%. Even at 1 C, the cell using TMBX additive still sustains a capacity retention of as high as 91.1% after 400 cycles. The cell with excellent performance is attributed to TMBX additive which can form a uniform, robust, and boron-rich interface film on both the cathode and anode surfaces simultaneously. Structural characterization and mechanism analysis reveal that TMBX additive can effectively eliminate HF hydrolysis from LiPF 6 , alleviate the loss of transition metal ions, maintain the integrity of crystal structure and improve the interfacial charge transfer.

Three-dimensional (3D) LiFePO 4 @MWCNTs composite has been prepared using phytic acid as the phosphorus source by a simple solvothermal method combined with freeze drying under vacuum. The relationships between the phase structures, the morphologies and electrochemical performance characteristics of the as-prepared samples are studied using a series of characterization methods. It is found that the MWCNTs wrap around the LiFePO 4 particles to form a 3D network because of the reactions between the special functional groups of the phytic acid with Fe 2+ and –C O or –COOH on the surface of the functionalized MWCNTs, resulting in the improvement of conductivity and the electron and ion transport. Due to these merits of MWCNTs and phytic acid, the LiFePO 4 @MWCNTs exhibits good electrochemical performance with high initial discharge capacities of 152.7, 149.6 and 138.8 mAh g −1 at 1, 2 and 5C, respectively. Even at 10C, it still delivers a capacity of 117.5 mAh g −1 .

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are considered to be promising candidates for next-generation storage systems. However, the practical applications are still hindered by the severe capacity decay, mainly caused by the large volume change, polysulfide shuttle and sluggish sulfur conversion kinetics. Herein, hollow urchin-like Mn 3 O 4 (HU-Mn 3 O 4 ) microspheres as sulfur hosts have been synthesized by the hydrothermal method and calcination treatment, aiming to prevent the polysulfide dissolution (benefiting from the strong polysulfide anchoring effect of Mn 3 O 4 ) and alleviate the volume expansion of sulfur (benefiting from the special hollow structure). Meanwhile, the urchin-like thorny surface also facilitates the rapid ion/electron transfer and the abundant active sites for the fast sulfur redox kinetics. When used as the sulfur host in Li-S batteries, the S@HU-Mn 3 O 4 cathode delivers a high initial capacity of 1137.4 mAh g −1 with a slow capacity decay of 0.042% after 200 cycles at 0.2 C. Even under the conditions of lean electrolyte (E/S = 7 mL g −1 ) and low N/P ratio (N/P = 2.1), the S@HU-Mn 3 O 4 cathode still enables a stable cycling performance with a high gravimetric energy density (202 Wh kg cell −1 ), demonstrating its great potential in the development of future practical Li-S battery materials.

Magnesium batteries based on Mg 2+ /Li + dual ion electrolytes (MLIBs) have attracted increasing attention due to fast Li + or Mg 2+ /Li + insertion kinetics, abundant Mg resources, and high volumetric capacity of dendrite-free Mg anodes. Herein, we report polyaniline (PANI)–coated VS 4 @reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with nanostructures synthesized via hydrothermal synthesis and subsequent PANI polymerization as the cathode material for MLIBs. The PANI layer serves as a conductive medium to enhance electron transfer and Mg 2+ /Li + transportation as well as to mitigate the structure changes of VS 4 during the cycling process. Indeed, this material demonstrates enhanced electrochemical performance with a high discharge capacity of 200.7 mAh g −1 after 20 cycles and 91.2% retention after 50 cycles. Mechanism analysis reveals that Li + insertion into VS 4 produced an amorphous VS 4 host in the first discharge, which inclined to store Mg 2+ rather than Li + in the subsequent cycles. Our study provides new insights into the development of amorphous electrode materials for magnesium batteries.

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have attracted tremendous attention as the next generation of lithium batteries. In the battery construction, a nanopore separator can improve the performance of the Li–S battery by working as a nanofiltration film, inhibiting the migration of soluble polysulfide ions between the electrodes. Herein, a new strategy to synthesize a nanopore separator of poly(propylene glycol)-co-pentaerythritol triacrylate (PPG-co-PETA) particles to suppress polysulfide shuttling has been proposed. The PPG-co-PETA cross-linked particles were easily obtained by a facile approach of UV-induced monomer polymerization while implementing molecular cross-linking for nanopore control. The characteristic nanopore size of the PPG-co-PETA separator ranged from ∼1.24 nm to ∼1.86 nm upon changing the type of photo-initiator and content of cross-linking agent. The results showed that the optimized separator for a Li–S battery could possess an electrolyte uptake of 350% with excellent thermal, mechanical and electrochemical properties. Notably, the Li–S battery using such a new type of nanopore separator exhibits superior retention discharge capacity (>200 cycles). It is believed that the nanopore separator of cross-linked PPG-co-PETA is a potential alternative to the commercial Celgard separator for effectively blocking polysulfide shuttling in Li–S batteries.

Graphical Nanocomposite anodes : Uniform peapod-like Cu 3 Ge/Ge@C composites are fabricated successfully through a facile dopamine-coating and annealing route (see figure). Owing to the homogeneous carbon encapsulation and the addition of the inactive alloying phase Cu 3 Ge, this Ge-based anode exhibits an excellent high specific capacity, outstanding cycle stability, and excellent rate performance for LIBs. As anode materials for high-performance Li-ion batteries, peapod-like Ge-based composites, including Ge, a Li-inactive conducting Cu 3 Ge, and a porous carbon matrix are synthesized simply by annealing CuGeO 3 @dopamine in a H 2 /Ar atmosphere. The introduction of the carbon layer and inactive alloying phase Cu 3 Ge not only enhances the electrical conductivity of the Ge anode, but also reduces the volume change of Ge during the cell cycle as a buffer. In particular, the anode of this peapod-like Cu 3 Ge/Ge@C shows an excellent long cycle life as well as outstanding capacity performance, with a discharge specific capacity up to 934 mA h g −1 after 500 cycles.

High-temperature battery system operated at or below 300 °C is highly desired for geothermal borehole applications. However, it remains a challenge to find suitable electrode materials meeting the need of wide borehole temperature. In this study, the discharge performance of Li 2 MoO 4 /LiNO 3 -KNO 3 /Li-Mg-B alloy battery system was studied over the temperature range of 150~300 °C with different current densities ranging from 10 to 30 mA cm −2 . The electrochemical test result showed that the single cell delivered maximum discharge capacity at 250 °C, with value of 1178.6 mAh g −1 at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . Besides, it is found that the discharge capacities of the single cell increased as the current density rose at 300 °C attributed to the enhanced ionic conductivity at high temperature. As a result, the Li 2 MoO 4 /LiNO 3 -KNO 3 /Li-Mg-B alloy system is capable of being used in instrumentation for geothermal and oil/gas borehole explore between 200 and 250 °C.

Lithium titanate (Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 , LTO) has several disadvantages as active material for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) such as low conductivity and poor capacity. To overcome these drawbacks and specifically to improve electrical performance of LTO, we used solvothermal method to synthesis LTO and to dope it simultaneously with Al and Mn. Doped LTO was then incorporated into composites containing graphene (G), carbon nanotube (CNT) or carbon quantum dots (CQDs) to enhance specific capacity and conductivity of LIB anodes containing these composites as active materials. To have a further study of different carbon materials composite with doped LTO, these materials we obtained were thoroughly characterized. LTO doping and incorporation into composites not only increased its specific capacity and also decreased its impedance. Al 3+ and Mn 4+ substituted Ti 4+ located at 16 d sites. First cycle specific capacity values and impedance values of anodes consisting of composites containing doped LTO and G, CNT or CQDs were 261.7, 286.2 and 296.5 mA h/g (at C/10 rate) and 13.99, 8.28, 18.79 Ω, respectively. Capacity retention after 100 cycles for these anodes was 84.6, 90.67 and 83.4%. LTO doping by Al 3+ and Mn 4+ and combining it with G, CNT or CQDs effectively improved its electrochemical performance. The best performance was obtained for anodes containing composites consisting of a combination of doped LTO and CNT.

Graphical In the mix : A mixed-surfactant-assisted synthesis of dual-phase Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 -TiO 2 hierarchical microspheres is proposed. The ratio of anionic/cationic surfactant regulates the dual-phase ratio and primary structure morphology of the final product. The optimal sample obtained has a better electrochemical performance than similar state-of-the-art materials. A mixed-surfactant-assisted method was developed to synthesize dual-phase Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 -TiO 2 hierarchical microspheres. The ratio of anionic/cationic surfactant could regulate the primary structure morphology and the dual-phase ratio of the final product, in which the primary structure morphology could be stacked nanosheets, small nanoparticles, or large nanoparticles. The sample with a primary structure morphology of small nanoparticles had the highest specific surface area of 79.38 m 2 g −1 and the best electrochemical performance because of its high Li + migration rate, low polarization, and appropriate TiO 2 content. Its capacity reached 153.5 mA h g −1 at a current rate of 40 C, and it retained nearly 100 % of its capacity after 100 cycles. A self-assembly mechanism of the mixed surfactant was highlighted to explain the formation of hierarchical microspheres. The physical and electrochemical properties of obtained material were correlated effectively.

Absolute quantum efficiency (QE) of up-conversion (UC) materials is still limited to ∼3%, which strongly limits their applications in many areas. Herein, we report highly efficient UC β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ micro-cylinders prepared via a newly developed Li+/Na+ ion exchange method (IEM) with absolute QE as high as ∼4.0%. A small amount of Li+ is interstitially incorporated in β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+, which not only maintains well the micro-cylindrical morphology but also enhances the emission intensity by ∼40%, doubles absolute UCQE (∼3.0% under a fixed excitation power density of 15 W cm−2), and prolongs the lifetime. The UC excitation profile is composed of a sharp peak at 976 nm and a weak shoulder at 935 nm. The absolute UCQE of Li+/Na+ IEM β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ is systemically studied over a wide excitation power density of 0.4–100 W cm−2, and we obtained impressively high UCQE of 4.0% under 60 W cm−2 power density, which is among the highest values in the literature. The application of two green UC emissions of Li+/Na+ IEM β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ in ratiometric thermometers is successfully demonstrated. The high relative temperature sensitivity (SR) of 1113/T2 and excellent repeatability as indicated by three heating–cooling cycles (293–753 K) suggest their promising application as a temperature sensor.

The thermal runaway is now recognized to be a main cause for the unsafety of Li-ion batteries, which poses a serious concern for large scale electric vehicles and energy storage applications . To address this issue, we propose in this work a new positive-temperature-coefficient (PTC) material, poly(3-Octylpyrrole):poly(styrenesulfonate) (P3OPy:PSS)/carbon composite, and use it as conductive matrix of cathode to enhance thermal stability of Li-ion batteries. The electrochemical and safety evaluations reveal that the such-fabricated graphite/LiCoO 2 full pouch cells exhibit not only improved electrochemical performances compared to the conventional cells at ambient temperature conditions, but also a reliable thermal-switching function at an elevated temperature of ≥ 120 °C, demonstrating a strong tolerance to overcharge, thermal impact and short-circuiting. Such a thermal stable mechanism originates from the PTC effect of the cathode matrix , which turns the conductive network into an insulating state under thermally abusive conditions and therefore terminates the charge/discharge reactions, thus protecting the cell from thermal runaway. This work provides a new strategy and electrode design for constructing safer LIBs. In addition, the materials and fabrication technique of the thermal stable cathode is facile and also fully compatible with the present industrial manufacture process, making it convenient for use in practical LIBs.
