Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries with attractive capacity give remarkable potential for prospective high-capacity application scenarios but suffer a fatal flaw of short cyclability before large-scale commercialization especially owing to polysulfide (Li 2 S n ) transmembrane shuttling. To efficiently restrain chronic Li 2 S n shuttle and expedite Li + transfer, herein, a novel electriferous charge-mosaic S(TMC@Lys-Li) separator preparation approach is recommended. Interfacial polymerizations of lithiated lysine and trimesoyl chloride establish an electriferous charge-mosaic polyamide functional layer. Substituted Li within the charge-mosaic layer offers transition or replacement sites for smoothing Li + migrations, which constructs efficient Li + fast-transfer private channels and accelerates the Li + transfer rate to 9.4 times. Negatively charged polyamide skeleton synchronously heightens Li 2 S n rejections by combining Donnan and steric effects. S(TMC@Lys-Li) replenishes Li for homogenizing Li nucleation and growth, endowing stable plating/stripping behaviors over 250 cycles for Li-Cu batteries. Assembled Li-S cells thus exhibit excellent specific capacity and cyclability at multiple application scenarios such as long periods, high areal capacity, and fast charge, holding 78.1% retention after 500 cycles at 1 C. The superior thermal stability and self-discharge of S(TMC@Lys-Li) dramatically strengthen battery thermal runaway resistance even at 155 ℃, which ensures security for Li-S battery high-power and high-temperature operations. Above alluring features enable charge-mosaic separators to be potentially adopted in practical Li-S batteries demanding strict security, high-capacity density, and fast charge technology.

Elevating the nickel (Ni) content within layered cathodes constitutes a straightforward and effective approach to enhance the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the phase transition from H2 to H3 introduces substantial alterations in lattice volume, leading to structural degradation and diminished electrochemical performance . This study employs density functional theory (DFT) calculations to determine that the formation energy for Nb 5+ occupied at Li 3 b sites is lower compared to that of Ni 3 a and Co 3 a sites, yet higher than that of Mn 3 a sites. This suggests a preference for Nb 5+ doping within the Li layer of Mn-free cathodes. Motivated by these DFT results, we show the viability of high-valence Nb 5+ as a stable pillar in the compositionally optimized binary oxide LiNi 0.9 Co 0.1 O 2 . The inclusion of this Nb 5+ pillar in the Li layer of Ni/Co-based oxide significantly enhances the reversibility of the H2–H3 redox couple and mitigates microcrack formation in polycrystalline cathodes. As a result, the Nb-doped Ni/Co-based cathode exhibits an extended cycling lifespan, elevated rate capability, and increased thermal stability compared to the undoped. This investigation achieves precise control over doping sites by optimizing the chemical composition of Ni-rich cathodes and provides novel insights into advancing their electrochemical performance for high-energy LIBs.

The high similarity in chemical properties between Li + and Mg 2+ poses a substantial challenge for their selective separation from salt lake brine with high Mg-Li (m/m) ratios. Herein, a highly efficient solvent extraction system was reported for Li + /Mg 2+ selective separation, with tributyl phosphate (TBP) and di(aminobenzo)-14-crown-4 (CE) as extractants, [C 4 mim][NTf 2 ] (IL) as co-extractant, and methylene chloride as a diluent. Simulated brines included 0.01 M LiCl and 0.01 and 0.2 M MgCl 2 with Mg/Li mass ratios of 3.5 and 70, respectively. Molecular dynamics (MD), density functional theory (DFT), and 1 H NMR analysis were employed to reveal the hydrogen bond interaction and compatibility between CE, TBP, and IL. Under the optimal extraction conditions containing a concentration of 20 mg/mL CE and 0.61 mmol/mL IL, the maximum single-stage Li + extraction rate of the TBP-CE-IL extraction system with Mg/Li mass ratios of 3.5 and 70 were 89.5 and 81.8 %, and the separation factor of Li to Mg were up to 515 and 422. Compared with the TBP-IL extraction system, the addition of CE effectively improved the extraction rate of Li + and the selectivity of Mg-Li, which was due to the hydrogen bond interaction between CE and TBP/IL and the cavity size effect between CE and Li + , improving CE coordination and endowing the complex generated in the organic phase with greater stability. The possible structure of the complex in the organic phase was determined to be 2TBP·Li·NTf 2 -CE·Li·NTf 2 through Li + extraction dynamic analysis. In summary, this work provides an efficient separation technology for Li + extraction from salt lake brine.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are preferable in the pursuit for developing high-energy Li metal batteries due to their inherent flexibility and intimate contact with electrodes. However, continuous interfacial parasitic reactions and undesired Li dendrite growth caused by inhomogeneous plating/stripping of Li+ result in rapid deterioration of an SPE/Li interface. Herein, a novel Zn2+-containing SPE (SPE-xZn) with anionic groups partially tethered on the polymer chains is developed to meet these challenges. During cycling, Zn2+ cations inside the SPE-xZn will gradually migrate to the surface of a Li electrode and then evolve to a Li-Zn alloy layer, where Li+ can diffuse more efficiently. Meanwhile, owing to the electrostatic interaction, the immobilized anionic groups within SPE-xZn can alleviate local concentrated Li+ flux. The synergistic effects of an in situ formed alloy layer and unique macromolecular structure can promote uniform plating/stripping of Li, thus yielding a more stable SPE-xZn/Li interface. Therefore, steady cycling over 300 h at 0.2 mA cm–2 is achieved by Li/SPE-5Zn/Li, and an impressive capacity retention of 87.3% at 0.5 C after 800 cycles is realized by LFP/SPE-5Zn/Li with an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.90%.

In our recent report (ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces2016, 8, 5308), Li+ ions had been successfully incorporated into the lattice of the selenized Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin film on a quartz substrate by substituting equivalent Cu+ ions, and Li+ ions was also found to have the little effect on the crystal growth and defect passivation. To further improve the cell performance of Li-doped CZTSSe devices, we conducted the same experiments on the sodium-rich soda-lime glass (SLG) substrate in this study, instead of sodium-free quartz substrate. Surprisingly, only trace amounts of Li (Li/Cu molar ratio ∼1 × 10–4) were detected in the final CZTSSe thin films; meanwhile, a large amount of sodium was present on the surface and at the grain boundaries of the selenized thin films. A Li/Na exchange mechanism is used to explain this phenomenon. Only on the sodium-free substrate can Li+ ions enter the CZTSSe host lattice, and doping Li+ ions on the SLG substrate are nearly identical to doping Na+ ions.

The demand for lithium resources is increasing globally. Salt lakes have been an important source of lithium exploitation. However, Mg 2+ /Li + separation is a challenge mainly for lithium extraction from salt lakes with high Mg 2+ /Li + ratio. In this paper, a novel monomer QTHEED with bis-quaternary ammonium was designed and synthesized. Composite nanofiltration membranes were also prepared by surface modification of polyamide membranes. The permeance (23.08 L m −2 h −1 MPa −1 ) and Li + /Mg 2+ selectivity (21.7) of modified membranes are both ∼3 times higher than those of the pristine membrane. Increased positive charge of membranes enhances the rejection of Mg 2+ . Furthermore, QTHEED modification brings hydrophilic groups, Turing structure, and larger membrane pores. Simulation results confirmed that the incorporation of the QTHEED enabled the membranes to effectively separate Mg 2+ and Li + and to be more conducive to the passage of water molecules. In addition, the nanofiltration performance of the modified membrane was stable after 40 h of continuous nanofiltration tests at 4 bar pressure. This study presented a novel and efficient approach for separating Mg 2+ and Li + in industrial settings.

Lithium/aluminum layered double hydroxides (LDH) have been industrially applied to extract lithium from salt-lake brine. Different from traditional granulation methods, chitosan with high hydrophilicity was used as the binder of LDH in this work, and LDH/chitosan composite hydrogel granules (CLDH) with a diameter of about 1–2 mm were successfully prepared. The new granulation method is simple, cost-effective, and does not require the use of organic solvents. The chemical composition and structure of CLDH were characterized by techniques such as FTIR, XRD, FESEM, TEM, TGA, and XPS. In simulated brine with a Mg 2+ /Li + ratio of 102, the maximum saturated adsorption capacity of lithium on CLDH-3 reached 12.5 mg g −1 (pH = 6.5), but it took 24 h to reach adsorption equilibrium. During the three successive cycles for the extraction of Li + from simulated brine by the CLDH-3 column at the flow rate of 1 mL min −1 , the adsorption capacities of Li + on CLDH-3 in the three cycles were 15.4, 15.9 and 12.1 mg g −1 , respectively. Moreover, deionized water (30 °C) was used as the eluent to recover lithium adsorbed on the CLDH-3 column, and the lithium recovery efficiencies reached 50.7 %, 53.6 %, and 62.8 % of the column adsorption capacities over the three cycles, respectively, and the Mg/Li ratios in the eluents were 0.47, 0.71, and 0.50, respectively. Overall, CLDH-3 exhibits good reusability, mechanical strength, structural stability, and selectivity in the process of lithium extraction from simulated salt-lake brine, and has potential industrial application value.

Li-SF 6 battery has been proposed as a novel energy conversion device for both reducing greenhouse-effect SF 6 and potentially providing large specific energy . However, the real discharge process of SF 6 remains ambiguous with fast cathode passivation and large polarization. Here we report that the Li-SF 6 chemistry is able to deliver an unprecedented capacity of >20,000 mA h g c −1 with reduced polarization and excellent rate capability by using a low-cost, high-surface-area porous carbon as cathode host. More importantly, by adjusting the SF 6 atmosphere, an approximately eight-electron transfer process with predominant products of LiF and Li 2 S is realized via two voltage steps, whereas previously only a little Li 2 S could be found with one plateau appearing. The eight-electron process leads to a high energy density about 2,300 W h kg −1 based on the mass of carbon and discharge products, which sheds light on SF 6 as a promising high-energy-density cathode.

Silicon-based anode materials attract ever-increasing attention owing to their high theoretical capacity. However, their practical application is significantly hindered by the dramatic volume change during the charge/discharge process, during which not only the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) but also the electrode might be ruined. Here, we propose a H-bond network-regulated binder by introducing low-molecular-weight cross-linkers, lithium oxalate and α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), into alginate (Alg). The balance between the binding strength and Li ion diffusion is realized through the control of the ratio between them. Lithium oxalate and α-CD can effectively regulate the H-bond network of the binder by forming intermolecular dynamic H bonds with Alg and reducing the intramolecular ones. Although the hybrid binder shows lower adhesion force than Alg, better electrode integrity is obtained during the charge/discharge process. Meanwhile, Li+ transportation is facilitated due to extra Li+ supplied by lithium oxalate, thereby achieving better rate capability.

To simultaneously increase the Mg 2+ /Li + separating performance under high Mg 2+ /Li + ratios of polyethylene/polyamide (PE/PA) thin film composite (TFC) nanofiltration (NF) membranes, 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (Cyclen) was added in the aqueous phase with polyethyleneimine (PEI) monomer. During reverse interface polymerization (RIP) on polyethylene (PE) substrates, phthaloyl chloride (PC) was added to the organic phase with terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) monomer. It was found that the addition of Cyclen and/or PC could both increase the hydrophilicity, surface roughness and average pore sizes of formed virgin PE/PA TFC NF membranes, leading to increased water permeability. The Li + /Mg 2+ separating factor S Li/Mg first increased and then decreased with maximum points at the TPC/PC ratio of 5:1 and Cyclen addition level of 0.02 wt%. Cation absorption, especially Mg(II)-Cyclen interactions in the PA layers under higher Mg 2+ /Li + ratio led to increased surface Zeta potential, decreased average pore diameters μ p, and greatly increased Li + /Mg 2+ separating factor (S Li/Mg ). S Li/Mg value of PEI-TPC/PC 5:1 -Cyclen 0.02 membranes could be increased from 5.0 to 55.47, keeping the water permeability around 6.5 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 when Mg 2+ /Li + ratio increased from 1 to 100 in the brine.

Sophisticated efficient electrocatalysts are essential to rectifying the shuttle effect and realizing the high performance of flexible lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Phase transformation of MoSe 2 from the 2H phase to the 1T phase has been proven to be a significant method to improve the catalytic activity. However, precisely controllable phase engineering of MoSe 2 has rarely been reported. Herein, by in situ Li ions intercalation in MoSe 2 , a precisely controllable phase evolution from 2H-MoSe 2 to 1T-MoSe 2 was realized. More importantly, the definite functional relationship between cut-off voltage and phase structure was first identified for phase engineering through in situ observation and modulation methods. The sulfur host (CNFs/1T-MoSe 2 ) presents high charge density, strong polysulfides adsorption, and catalytic kinetics. Moreover, Li-S cells based on it display capacity retention of 875.3 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles at 1 C and an areal capacity of 8.71 mAh cm −2 even at a high sulfur loading of 8.47 mg cm −2 . Furthermore, the flexible pouch cell exhibiting decent performance will endow a promising potential in the wearable energy storage field. This study proposes an effective strategy to precisely control the phase structure of MoSe 2 , which may provide the reference to fabricate the highly efficient electrocatalysts for LSBs and other energy systems.

The waste materials may result in the environment pollution and the rapid consumption of the non-renewable natural resources if they aren't reasonably recycled in time. LiMn x Fe 1-x PO 4 can combine the advantages of good rate capability of LiFePO 4 and high voltage of LiMnPO 4 , thus attracting more attentions. Herein, LiMn x Fe 1-x PO 4 /C (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2) powders are prepared from three wastes (spent Li foil, expired manganese gluconate and rust) by FePO 4 process. The results show that LiMn x Fe 1-x PO 4 /C (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2) powders appear as the irregular particles with 100–300 nm in size, and Mn 2+ partly substituted at Fe 2+ site. Especially, optimal 10 % Mn 2+ -doping improves the voltage plateau and energy density of LiFePO 4 /C. In detail, LiMn 0.1 Fe 0.9 PO 4 /C cathode delivers the specific discharge capacity of 159.3 mAh/g at 0.2C and 137.7 mAh/g at 1.0C, higher than those of LiFePO 4 /C cathode, LiMn 0.05 Fe 0.95 PO 4 /C cathode and LiMn 0.2 Fe 0.8 PO 4 /C cathode due to high diffusion coefficient (8.36 × 10 −14 cm 2 /s) and wider ionic diffusion channels of LiMn 0.1 Fe 0.9 PO 4 /C. The capacity retention rate of LiMn 0.1 Fe 0.9 PO 4 /C remains 91.0 % even after 500 cycles at 1.0C. Seemingly, optimal 10 % Mn 2+ -doping can indeed improve the reversible capacity and cyclic performance of LiFePO 4 cathode mainly due to lower charge transfer impedance and widen Li ion diffusion channel.
