As a promising cathode material for rechargeable lithium ion batteries , tellurium has attracted a great deal of attention due to its high conductivity and high theoretical capacity. Yet, the large volume expansion (~104 vol%) during Li-Te alloying process prevents the application of Li-Te battery . Here, by using a novel one-step nonlinear electrochemical approach, we prepared a Te x S y @polyaniline nanorod composites, in which elemental sulfur is successfully embedded into tellurium matrix to effectively tackle the volumetric variation problem. In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the Li-Te (de)alloying process on single Te x S y @polyaniline particle demonstrated that the volumetric variation was efficiently suppressed in comparison to the situation of pristine Te particles. Moreover, polyaniline binder effectively trapped Te and sulfur species in its network and guaranteed stable electric contact and fast transport of Li ions , which resulted in significant improvement of the battery performance. Interestingly, the as-obtained composites display a high initial capacity of 1141 mA h g −1 with typical Li-S battery characteristics at a low current density of 0.1 A g −1 , while it shows a good cycling stability at high current density of 5 A g −1 with Li-Te battery features.

Because of its high density, a carbon microsphere is a good candidate for ultrahigh volumetric capacity electrode materials. We find that the synergistic effects of nitrogen and iodine element can tremendously improve the carbon electrode capacity. Here, we present a high volumetric capacity anode consisting of iodine and nitrogen codoping carbon microspheres synthesized by a low-temperature solvothermal route. A reversible capacity of 1418 mAh cm–3, which is much larger than that of commercial graphitic carbon anode, is achieved at a current density of 0.05 mA cm–2 by using these carbon microspheres as anode material. After 100 charge–discharge cycles at 0.1 mA cm–2 and 500 charge–discharge cycles at 1 mA cm–2, carbon microspheres retained volumetric capacities of 1335 and 1090 mAh cm–3, respectively

Electrochemically active SnO 2 materials are prospective alternatives for graphite toward better flexible LIBs. However, significant volume changes and structural pulverization restrict the cycling stability and high capacity of SnO 2 . Here, we report a binder and conductive additive free core-shell N-doped carbon @SnO 2 hybrid paper by a subtle coaxial-electrospinning method. Core-shell N-doped C@SnO 2 fibers not only offer rapid ionic transport and sufficient buffer space for the volume expansion during the Li insertion and extraction reactions, but also enable high flexibility against both compression and bending deformation. As an anode for LIBs, the hybrid materials delivered a large initial capacity of 1799 mAhg −1 with capacity retention of 729 mAhg −1 after 100 cycles at a current rate of 390.5 mAg −1 . More importantly, flexible N-doped C@SnO 2 fabrics exhibit excellent electrochemical performance even after a rough treatment, suggesting a facile strategy for the fabrication of electrochemically stable electrodes for flexible LIBs.

The novel material K1.35Ti8O16@C was successfully fabricated via an effective, controllable, and cost-effective electrochemical synthetic method and further evaluated as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). This material delivered high reversible capacities of ∼320 mAh g−1 at 50 mA g−1 and excellent long-term cycle stability (135 mAh g−1 after 2000 cycles at 1 A g−1) owing to the high electronic conductivity and fast reversible electrochemical Li-intercalation/extraction behavior of the nanowire structure of K1.35Ti8O16.

LiI in Li-O 2 batteries has shown promise in reducing charge overpotential. However, the shuttle effect of oxidated iodine species (OISs) can lead to lithium metal corrosion and loss of OISs. During the discharging process, these iodine species can undergo side reactions, resulting in the accumulation of LiOH and other parasitic products, which in turn accelerates battery failure. In this work, we have drawn inspiration from mussel protein and utilized a simple co-deposition method to form a robust biomimetic functionalized coating on the surface of the glass fiber separator. This was achieved by grafting catechol/polyamine (CA/PA) with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA). This separator exhibits strong electrostatic repulsion towards negatively charged OISs and, conversely, electrostatic attraction towards Li + , this dual action effectively suppresses the shuttle effect and facilitates Li + transport. When equipped with this modified separator, the Li-O 2 battery effectively reduces the accumulation of LiOH and demonstrates significantly enhanced rate performance and cycle stability. Our findings provide a versatile approach for the design of modified separators for Li-O 2 batteries with redox mediators (RMs).

Li-CO 2 batteries offer a promising avenue for converting greenhouse gases into electricity. However, the inherent challenge of direct electrocatalytic reduction of inert CO 2 often results in the formation of Li 2 CO 3 , causing a dip in output voltage and energy efficiency. Our innovative approach involves solid redox mediators, affixed to the cathode via a Cu(II) coordination compound of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid. This technique effectively circumvents the shuttle effect and sluggish kinetics associated with soluble redox mediators. Results show that the electrochemically reduced Cu(I) solid redox mediator efficiently captures CO 2 , facilitating Li 2 C 2 O 4 formation through a dimerization reaction involving a dimeric oxalate intermediate. The Li-CO 2 battery employing the Cu(II) solid redox mediator boasts a higher discharge voltage of 2.8 V, a lower charge potential of 3.7 V, and superior cycling performance over 400 cycles. Simultaneously, the successful development of a Li-CO 2 pouch battery propels metal-CO 2 batteries closer to practical application.

A series of non-stoichiometric carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate (LiFexPO4/C) have been prepared by a solid-state reaction to study the variation of electrochemical performance at different x values. Characterized by XRD in conjunction with Rietveld refinement, Mössbauer, TEM, Raman, etc., it is indicated that the Li–O bond is elongated in the Fe-poor non-stoichiometric lithium iron phosphate with decreasing x value, while the content of Fe2P and graphitization degree of carbon layer in LiFexPO4/C samples is associated with the ratio of x. The powder electronic conductivity increases from 8.33 × 10−2 S cm−1 to 16.67 × 10−2 S cm−1 as the x value decreases from 1.04 to 0.98, which is due to a suitable amount of Fe2P and a superior graphitized carbon layer. Among different Fe/Li ratios, LiFe0.98PO4/C exhibits the highest rate capability of 163.5 mA h g−1 at 0.1C and 93.5 mA h g−1 at 20C, as well as the largest diffusion coefficient of 12.6 × 10−14 cm2 s−1. It is illustrated that the synergy effect of elongated Li–O bonds, moderate Fe2P and graphitized carbon layer results in the high performance of non-stoichiometric LiFexPO4/C.

The carbon substrate with unique 3D macroporous structure has been prepared through the immediate carbonization of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and KOH mixture. The porous carbon composed of micro- and small mesoporous (2–5 nm) structure has a BET specific surface area of 1824.8 m 2 g −1 . The amorphous and nanosized Se is uniformly encapsulated into the porous structure of porous carbon using melting diffusion route, and the weight content of Se in target Se/C composite can be as high as ~50 %. As an Li–Se battery cathode, the Se/C composite delivers a reversible (2nd) discharge capacity of 597.4 mAh g −1 at 0.24C and retains a discharge capacity of 538.4 mAh g −1 at 0.24C after 100 cycles. Furthermore, the composite also has a stable capacity of 291.0 mAh g −1 at a high current of 4.8C. The high specific area and good porous size of EDTA-derived carbon substrate may a be responsibility for the excellent electrochemical performances of Se/C composite.

Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (S@pPAN) composites have been synthesized in a high pressure reactor under certain vapor pressure. According to elemental analysis, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the hydrogen content and the degree of graphitization in S@pPAN composites decreases with increasing synthesis vapor pressure, indicating that a suitably high vapor pressure is helpful in promoting the reaction between polyacrylonitrile and elemental sulfur and finally making the conductive molecular structure of sulfurized polyacrylonitrile more complete. The results show that the sulfurized polyacrylonitrile composite prepared under 5 MPa vapor pressure (S@pPAN-5) delivers a high initial discharge specific capacity of 1821 mA h g−1 and the capacity remains at 1357 mA h g−1 (616.8 mA h gcomposite−1) after 100 cycles with a retention rate of 88% calculated from the 2nd discharge capacity.

RMgPO 4 :Mn 2+ (R = Li, Na, and K) phosphors are synthesized by a solid-state reaction method in air. The crystal structures and luminescence properties are investigated. A broad emission band peaking at 638 nm of RMgPO 4 :Mn 2+ (R = Li and Na) phosphors with excitation 408 nm is observed in the range of 550–800 nm owing to the 4 T 1 (G) → 6 A 1 transition of the Mn 2+ ion. KMgPO 4 :Mn 2+ phosphor with excitation 416 nm shows a broad emission band peaking at 658 nm in the range of 550–800 nm owing to the 4 T 1 (G) → 6 A 1 transition of the Mn 2+ ion. The optimal Mn 2+ ion concentration in RMgPO 4 :Mn 2+ (R = Li, Na, and K) phosphors is about 5 mol%. The lifetimes of RMg 0.95 PO 4 :0.05Mn 2+ (R = Li, Na, and K) phosphors is ~6.21, 6.03, and 6.28 ms, respectively. The luminous mechanism is explained by Tanabe-Sugano diagram of Mn 2+ ion.

Abstract A three-dimensionally macroporous–mesoporous lithium ion sieve (3DM-H 4 Ti 5 O 12 ) was transformed from 3DM-Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 through washing with HCl solution, which was synthesized by a combination of hydrothermal and low-temperature calcination (600 °C) treatment, using polystyrene microarray as hard-template, and titanium isopropoxide and lithium acetate as co-precursors. The influence of HCl concentration and temperature on the deintercalation rate of Li and Ti from Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 was specifically explored to maximize the extraction ratio of Li/Ti. The acceleration of Li extraction and insertion in a porous structure was verified using nonporous Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 as a control. 3DM-H 4 Ti 5 O 12 showed superior Li + adsorption performance (5.51 mmol/g) compared with its nonporous counterpart (1.12 mmol/g), which was ascribed to the reduced Li + mass transfer resistance in the highly interconnected porous channel. The ion selectivity of the 3DM-H 4 Ti 5 O 12 lithium ion sieve followed the order of Li + > Na + ~ Ca 2+ > K + > Mg 2+ . The adsorption performance could be maintained after six cycles. The high adsorption capacity, excellent selectivity, and good recyclability demonstrate the prosperous potential application of 3DM-H 4 Ti 5 O 12 . Graphical Abstract

A series of subphthalocyanines with different substituents (RPhO-BSubPc(COOCH 3 ) 3 ) have been synthesized and used as catalysts to catalyze lithium/thionyl chloride (Li/SOCl 2 ) battery. All the compounds are structurally characterized by IR, UV, and element analysis. After adding RPhO-BSubPc(COOCH 3 ) 3 into the battery’s electrolyte, the energy and the capacity of the battery are increased by approximately 3.27–40.6 and 10.9–53.2 % than that of the battery in the absence of them. In addition, a three-step hypothetical mechanism is figured out to explain the complex catalytic process. By comparing the images of SEM, it is found that the addition of catalysts makes the lithium chloride layer looser, which is conducive to the transfer of electrons. Moreover, the hypothetical mechanism is confirmed by the results of cyclic voltammetry.
