Increasing the sulfur loading in the cathode of a lithium–sulfur battery is an important way to improve its capacity for practical applications. To achieve this, the present work proposes using PEDOT-PSS to encapsulate sulfur/carbon black (S/BP) by a facile solution mixing method and the formed composite is then coated on a porous carbon paper. It is believed that the formation of a core/shell structure in the PEDOT@S/BP composite can promote the electron transport and effectively impede the diffusion of polysulfides, and the porous carbon paper is able to retain the electrolyte containing the dissolved polysulfides in the cathode and alleviate the adverse effect of sulfur volumetric expansion. Due to such advantages, the proposed cathode, with a high sulfur loading of 3 mg cm−2, can yield a high reversible capacity of 1041 mA h g−1 and an excellent cycle stability with a capacity retention of 868 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles and an average coulombic efficiency of 99.4%.

Cadmium oxides (CdO), an important semiconductor material , have many superior properties when used as a cathode material for nickel-cadmium batteries. Here, the coating and the doped co-modified LiNi 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2 cathode are constructed by a continuous wet chemical process and a high-temperature sintering process, wherein the Cd 2+ are uniformly doped in a gradient form and the CdO protective layer is distributed on the outer surface of secondary particles. The Cd-modified NCA material has more stable interfacial and crystal lattice structure, thereby inhibiting harmful phase transitions and side-reactions. Accordingly, the modified sample has excellent electrochemical performance and maintaining a complete spherical morphology during long cycling compared to the pristine sample. In addition, as a pillar ion, cadmium increases the plate spacing and lithium-ion diffusion kinetics. The electrochemical results show that the capacity retention of the modified sample Cd-2000 reached 96.5% and 90.6% after 100 cycles and 200 cycles respectively at 1 C. At the high current rate of 8 C, the initial capacity and retention (100 cycles, 3.0–4.3 V) reach 166.2 mAh g −1 and 95.2%, respectively. Besides, the results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) reveal that CdO modification could decrease the resistance of the cell polarization and impedance increment upon cycling.

Safe operation of electrochemical capacitors (supercapacitors) is hindered by the flammability of commercial organic electrolytes. Non-flammable Water-in-Salt (WIS) electrolytes are promising alternatives; however, they are plagued by the limited operation voltage window (typically ≤2.3 V) and inherent corrosion of current collectors. Herein, a novel deep eutectic solvent (DES)-based electrolyte which uses formamide (FMD) as hydrogen-bond donor and sodium nitrate (NaNO 3 ) as hydrogen-bond acceptor is demonstrated. The electrolyte exhibits the wide electrochemical stability window (3.14 V), high electrical conductivity (14.01 mS cm −1 ), good flame-retardance, anticorrosive property, and ultralow cost (7% of the commercial electrolyte and 2% of WIS). Raman spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory calculations reveal that the hydrogen bonds between the FMD molecules and NO 3 − ions are primarily responsible for the superior stability and conductivity. The developed NaNO 3 /FMD-based coin cell supercapacitor is among the best-performing state-of-art DES and WIS devices, evidenced by the high voltage window (2.6 V), outstanding energy and power densities (22.77 Wh kg −1 at 630 W kg −1 and 17.37 kW kg −1 at 12.55 Wh kg −1 ), ultralong cyclic stability (86% after 30 000 cycles), and negligible current collector corrosion. The NaNO 3 /FMD industry adoption potential is demonstrated by fabricating 100 F pouch cell supercapacitors using commercial aluminum current collectors.

To develop low-cost, high-capacity and long-life anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, glucose-C and F-doped C coated SiO composites with adjustable pore structure (p-SiO@gl-C@F-doped C) are synthesized by facile and scalable methods. The combination of the heterogeneous dual-carbon shells and porous structure significantly promotes the reaction kinetics of the electrode, effectively suppresses and buffers the volume expansion of SiO, and largely enhances the stability of solid electrolyte interface of the electrode. In a half cell, the optimized p-SiO@gl-C@F-doped C (7:3) composite shows a stable discharge capacity of 785 mAh g −1 at a current density of 200 mA g −1 . The discharge capacity is maintained at 772 mAh g −1 after 200 cycles. At a current density of 400 mA g −1 , the electrode shows a discharge capacity of 633 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles, with a capacity degradation of ∼0.0096% per cycle from the 2nd cycle to the 500th cycle. The full cell which is composed of the commercial LiFePO 4 as a cathode and the optimized composite as an anode, exhibits high capacity and good cycling stability.

All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs) owing to their advantage of enhanced safety are considered to be a promising candidate for next-generation energy storage devices. However, the poor cycling performance and low areal capacities of ASSLIBs with S, Li2S or traditional oxide cathodes hinder the development of high-energy-density ASSLIBs. Herein, a Li6PS5Cl solid-state electrolyte has been systematically investigated for use as a cathode active material in ASSLIBs for the first time. ASSLIBs employing Li6PS5Cl as both the active material and electrolyte with a Li–In alloy anode are fabricated. A Li6PS5Cl-based cell with an active material loading of 3.1 mg cm−2 exhibits a high discharge capacity of around 535 mA h g−1 after 650 cycles at 56 mA g−1 (∼0.1C) at room temperature, which is the highest value among ASSLIBs using sulfide SSEs as active materials and is even comparable with those of cells with S, Li2S or transition metal sulfides as the active material. This superior long-term cycling performance is attributed to the highly reversible electrochemical activity of Li6PS5Cl revealed by ex situ XRD and XPS analyses.

Commercial lithium-ion batteries have safety risks due to the use of electrolyte-containing flammable organic solvents. The development of all solid-state lithium ion batteries with solid electrolyte is a feasible technical way to improve the safety of batteries. In this work, PVDF-based composite solid-state electrolytes (CSEs) were prepared by coupling Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 (LLZTO) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The electrochemical performance and interfacial compatibility between composite electrolyte and electrode were improved by the combination of appropriate amount of Li-ion-conducting particles and the insulating polymer. The corresponding solid-state battery of LiFePO 4 |PVDF-LLZTO-CSE| Li is fabricated and delivers initial discharge capacity of 162.4 mAh g -1 , and coulomb efficiency is approximately 98.5%. And the solid-state battery exhibits satisfactory rate capability and cycling stability at room temperature. This study suggests that a combination of the lithium garnet particles and insulating polymer is one of the promising methods to solve the problem of liquid electrolyte.

Silicon is a strong competitor for the anode of the next generation of lithium-ion batteries, and ball-milled silicon has broad prospects as a low-cost method for preparing nano silicon. In order to match ball-milled silicon, it is imperative to develop better bonding agents with lower costs. Through adding amino silane coupling agent, the performance of ball-milling silicon anode is enhanced. This study explored the network structure formed by amino silane coupling agent with different chain lengths and polyacrylic acids. Herein, the crosslinked network prepared with 3-[2-(2-aminoethyl amino) ethyl amino] propyl-trimethoxysilane as coupling agent had the best performance, and the initial discharge capacity of the silicon anode prepared by this binder reached 3297.4 mAh·g −1 at a constant current density of 0.5A·g −1 , the initial Coulomb efficiency reached 92.25%. After 100 cycles, the discharge capacity of anode was still maintained at 2229.5 mAh·g −1 with excellent charge/discharge performance.

To address the large structural and volume changes of commercial WO 3 during charge/discharge, which make this material unsuitable for use in Li-ion batteries (LIBs), we herein prepared oxygen deficient WO 3- x nanosheets on a large scale by thermal treatment of ammonium paratungstate in a reducing atmosphere followed by sonication and freeze-drying. The above nanosheets were employed as LIB anode materials and exhibited a specific capacity and cycling stability significantly exceeding those of oxygen-deficient WO 3- x nanoparticles and commercial WO 3 . In addition, we investigated the effect of nanosheet loading on electrode performance, demonstrating that the best results (Li storage capacity of ∼628 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g −1 ) were obtained at a nanosheet content of 20 wt%. This excellent performance was ascribe to the good exposure of defects caused by the comparatively small size of WO 3- x nanosheets , which resulted in an increased number of sites and diffusion paths available for Li-ion storage and transfer. The novel electrode-optimized strategy may be extended to the fabrication of other electrodes that use nanomaterials as active substances due to its superior comprehensive performance and low cost.

Traditionally polyvinylidene fluoride membranes have been used in applications such as membrane distillation , wastewater treatment , desalination and separator fabrication. Within this work we demonstrate that a novel carbon nanofiber/polyvinylidene fluoride (CNF/PVDF) composite membrane can be used as an interlayer for Lithium Sulfur (Li S) batteries yielding both high capacity and long cycling life. This PVDF membrane is shown to effectively separate dissolved lithium polysulfide with the high electronic conductivity CNF not only reducing the internal resistance in the sulfur cathode but also helping immobilize the polysulfide through its abundant nanospaces. The resulting Li S battery assembled with the CNF/PVDF composite membrane effectively solves the polysulfide permeation problem and exhibits excellent electrochemical performance. It is further shown that the CNF/PVDF electrode has an excellent cycling stability and retains a capacity of 768.6 mAh g −1 with a coulombic efficiency above 99% over 200 cycles at 0.5C, which is more than twice that of a cell without CNF/PVDF (374 mAh g −1 ). In addition, the low-cost raw materials and the simple preparation process of CNF/PVDF composite membrane is also amenable for industrial production.

To optimize the electrochemical behavior of NCM-based high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in wide temperature ranges, Phenyl trifluoromethane sulfonate (PTM) is demonstrated as the novel electrolyte additive to enhance the electrochemical behavior of LiNi 0·6 Co 0·2 Mn 0·2 O 2 /graphite cells at 25 °C, −20 °C and 45 °C. The cells with 1.0 wt% PTM-containing electrolyte deliver 80.6% capacity retention after 350 cycles at 25 °C, 73.4% after 100 cycles at −20 °C, and 82.6% after 300 cycles at 45 °C, which are significantly higher than that in standard electrolyte (STD), corresponding to 36.4% at 25 °C, 40.3% at −20 °C, and failure at 45 °C, respectively. According to density functional theory (DFT) simulations and quantitative calculations, the PTM preferentially reduces on the anode and oxidizes on the cathode to participate in the formation of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) films. In addition, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and other analysis suggest that the formed SEI films are thinner and more stable for the electrolyte containing PTM, and the formed SEI films effectively control the decomposition of carbonate-based electrolytes and greatly decrease the increased resistance during the cycle.

ZnO-coated LiMn 2 O 4 cathode materials were prepared by a combustion method using glucose as fuel. The phase structures, size of particles, morphology, and electrochemical performance of pristine and ZnO-coated LiMn 2 O 4 powders are studied in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), galvanostatic charge-discharge test, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XRD patterns indicated that surface-modified ZnO have no obvious effect on the bulk structure of the LiMn 2 O 4 . TEM and XPS proved ZnO formation on the surface of the LiMn 2 O 4 particles. Galvanostatic charge/discharge test and rate performance showed that the ZnO coating could improve the capacity and cycling performance of LiMn 2 O 4 . The 2 wt% ZnO-coated LiMn 2 O 4 sample exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 112.8 mAh g −1 with a capacity retention of 84.1 % after 500 cycles at 0.5 C. Besides, a good rate capability at different current densities from 0.5 to 5.0 C can be acquired. CV and EIS measurements showed that the ZnO coating effectively reduced the impacts of polarization and charge transfer resistance upon cycling.

As a kind of anode materials, iron matrix oxide cannot be widely used in the lithium-ion batteries due to their poor electrical conductivity and huge volume change during the electrochemical cycles. Herein, the porous carbon@Fe 2 O 3 composites are prepared by hydrothermal method. Due to the porous structure and introduction of carbon, the electrical conductivity can be greatly improved. Additionally, the porous structure could buffer the volume change during electrochemical cycles. As a result, the as-prepared carbon@Fe 2 O 3 composites deliver a high initial specific capacity of 1168 mAh/g at 0.1 C. Moreover, the carbon@Fe 2 O 3 composites show outstanding rate performance and superior cycling stability. This work provides a potential anode material for high electrochemical performance Li-ion batteries.
