An insightful study on the fundamental lithium storage behavior of all-solid-state lithium battery with a structure of LiNi 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2 (NCA)/Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 /Li-In is carried out in this work. The relationship between electrochemical performances and particle size, surface impurities and defects of the NCA positive material is systematically investigated. It is found that a ball-milling technique can decrease the particle size and remove surface impurities of the NCA cathode while also give rise to surface defects which could be recovered by a post-annealing process. The results indicate that the interfacial resistance between the NCA and Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 is obviously decreased during the ball-milling followed by a post-annealing. Consequently, the discharge capacity of NCA in the NCA/Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 /Li-In solid-state battery is significantly enhanced, which exhibits a discharge capacity of 146 mAh g −1 at 25 °C.

One of the key efficient strategies to optimize the silicon micro-structure and to improve the lithium-storage electrochemical performance is to introduce the metallic phase into silicon matrix to realize the silicon-metal recombination as well as the nanocrystallization of silicon structure. The present research introduced metallic titanium to synthesis TiSi 2 /Si nanocomposites by the aid of electrolyzing SiO 2 /TiO 2 in molten salt. The reduced nanocomposites exhibited excellent lithiation stability with the initial discharging specific capacity of 2107 mA h/g and the first columbic efficiency of 89.96%. Particularly benefiting from the compositional TiSi 2 phase and the structural superiority of silicon nanowires surrounded by the alloyed nanoparticles , the as-obtained anode also delivered a high rate capacity. The major objective of this study is to establish the technology for molten salt electrolytic preparation of TiSi 2 /Si nanocomposites for lithium-ion batteries and further to offer solutions for modifying the silicon anode materials .

Nitrogen/sulfur co-doped disordered porous biocarbon was facilely synthesized and applied as anode materials for lithium/sodium ion batteries. Benefiting from high nitrogen (3.38 wt%) and sulfur (9.75 wt%) doping, NS 1-1 as anode materials showed a high reversible capacity of 1010.4 mA h g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 in lithium ion batteries . In addition, it also exhibited excellent cycling stability, which can maintain at 412 mAh g -1 after 1000 cycles at 5 A g −1 . As anode materials of sodium ion batteries , NS 1-1 can still reach 745.2 mA h g −1 at 100 mAg -1 after 100 cycles. At a high current density (5 A g -1 ), the reversible capacity is 272.5 mA h g −1 after 1000 cycles, which exhibits excellent electrochemical performance and cycle stability. The preeminent electrochemical performance can be attributed to three effects: (1) the high level of sulfur and nitrogen; (2) the synergic effect of dual-doping heteroatoms; (3) the large quantity of edge defects and abundant micropores and mesopores , providing extra Li/Na storage regions. This disordered porous biocarbon co-doped with nitrogen/sulfur exhibits unique features, which is very suitable for anode materials of lithium/sodium ion batteries.

Antimony and red phosphorus (RP) hybrid is harvested via a facile mechanical milling strategy. Simultaneously, graphene sheets are introduced to boost the electronic transmission and mitigate the agglomeration of particles. In contrast to pristine Sb and RP electrodes, Sb/P/C hybrid affords comparably promising electrochemical performances. As anodes for lithium-ion batteries, Sb/P/C electrode depicts a reversible capacity of 869 mAh g −1 under 200 mA g −1 after 50 cycles and an excellent rate stability such as 452 mAh g −1 at 3200 mA g −1 . When used for sodium-ion batteries, the hybrid also shows moderate capacities of 544.8 and 511 mAh g −1 at the current of 50 and 200 mA g −1 after 50 cycles, respectively. These excellent properties can be ascribed to the synergetic effect of decreased particle size of milled Sb/P/C, large contact area, adequate energy storage sites, and enhanced electrical conductivity.

The as-prepared PPy/ACNTs electrode materials with novel nanostructure , which is very conducive to the transmission of electrons and ions, possess greatly improved electrochemical performance. The specific capacitances of PPy/ACNTs electrode materials can reach 505 F/g ( vs. the both mass of PPy and ACNTs) in three-electrode system. In two-electrode system, the specific capacitances of the PPy/ACNTs electrode materials can reach 456 F/g ( vs. the both mass of PPy and ACNTs).

Nowadays, energy conversion devices have gradually gained attention while vigorously developing clean energy. Carbon materials are promising candidates for supercapacitors , but two issues have plagued the researchers. 1) Does the cation radius in the neutral electrolyte significantly impact the electrochemical performance of carbon materials? 2) How to introduce heteroatoms while constructing hollow structures in carbon spheres. This work proposes a facile template free strategy that uses aniline and pyrrole as nitrogen sources to synthesize carbon sphere precursors. High-temperature carbonization combined with alkali treatment leads to the formation of N-doped hollow porous carbon spheres. Robust wall structure (thickness is about 60–80 nm) and ideal surface structure (the specific surface area is 1079.9 m 2 g −1 ) endow the carbon spheres with excellent electrochemical performance and outstanding cycle stability. The specific capacitance of the carbon spheres in Li 2 SO 4 and Na 2 SO 4 electrolytes under negative working potential (−0.8–0 V) are 378.4 and 367.6 F g −1 , respectively, at a current density of 1 A g −1 . After 5000 cycles, the capacitance retentions are 87.1% and 94.8% in Li 2 SO 4 and Na 2 SO 4 electrolytes. We inferred that the cation radius has a negligible effect on the specific capacitance of carbon materials, but has a more significant effect on the cycling stability and capacitance rate performance. It is hoped that this work can provide a reference for the subsequent construction of N-doped hollow carbon spheres and reasonable selection of electrolytes.

To obtain highly active electrocatalyst for the whole electrochemical water splitting is of importance to generate hydrogen. Co(OH) 2 is used as electrocatalyst towards OER, however, the performance can be improved further. Usually, to construct the interface and adjust the electronic environment of electrocatalysts are regarded as powerful ways to improve the activity. Herein, CeO 2 -Co(OH) 2 sheets supported on copper foam (CF) are fabricated by electrodeposition method. The morphology and the electron structure of metals are adjusted by changing the molar ratio of Co to Ce, thus, resulting in different electrocatalytic activity. The optimal hybrids of CeO 2 -Co(OH) 2 exhibits lower overpotentials of 188, 269 mV to reach 10 mA cm −2 towards HER and OER, respectively, and good stability. Notably, it is found that the electroactivity is extremely superior to that of bare CF as well as the counterparts in the literature. Also, we try to employ M(OH) 2 (M = Fe, Ni) to substitute Co(OH) 2 to investigate the effect of species of hydroxides on the electron interaction between CeO 2 and hydroxides, the XPS results indicate that Ce and Co shows stronger electron interaction compared to other two control hydroxides. As electrocatalysts for alkaline full water splitting, CeO 2 -Co(OH) 2 requires a cell voltage of 1.62 V to drive 10 mA cm −2 . Experimental results prove the advantages of the electron engineering and morphology control.

Designing lead-free inorganic perovskite or perovskite-like structure materials and researching the corresponding photoinduced charge carrier dynamics are always promising due to both the environment and power conversion efficiency considerations. In this work, we intelligently employ a bilayer metal Bi/Cu thin film with different atomic ratios as the precursor to fabricate a CuBiI4 perovskite-like film in situ with a controlled Bi gradient at room temperature. This structure can significantly affect the photoinduced charge carrier dynamics of the resulting products. Next, a series of transient surface photovoltage (TSPV) measurements are carried out to investigate the photoinduced charge carrier dynamics of such CuBiI4 and CuBiI4:organic hybrid thin films. The results reveal that the gradually decreasing Bi content from ITO to CuBiI4 can facilitate the photoinduced charge carrier transportation. Finally, a champion PCE of 1.10% is obtained for an ITO/CuBiI4:polythieno[3,4-b]-thiophene-co-benzodithiophene (PTB7)/Au solar cell device. In particular, we find an exact negative correlation of the defined parameter L (the defined value for evaluating the photoinduced charge carrier dynamics in TSPV measurements) with the corresponding PCE of various devices for the first time, which may pave a new way for evaluating the potential photoelectric and photovoltaic performances of new materials without the assembly of solar cell devices.

High-performance polymer electrolytes with the capability to self-heal mechanical damage can effectively enhance reliability, safety and service life of the batteries. Herein, a novel polymer electrolyte (PBPE) with excellent self-healing capacity and high ionic conductivity was developed. PBPE with polymer networks cross-linked by highly reversible imine bonds was fabricated by the Schiff-base reaction between poly(ethylene glycol) diamine and benzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde. PBPE can quickly repair the cut damage spontaneously within 1 h at room temperature and recover its mechanical strength and electrochemical properties. The healed PBPE exhibits almost the same ionic conductivities and mechanical properties as the original PBPE shows. PBPE possesses the highest ionic conductivity (4.79 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 30 °C) among the self-healing polymer electrolytes. PBPE can promote the generation of LiF-rich SEI and effectively suppress dendrite growth on Li metal anodes. LiFePO 4 (LFP) cells assembled with PBPE exhibit excellent rate capability (discharge capacity of 118.2 mAh g −1 at 5 C rate) and good cycling performance (capacity retention of 97.8% over 125 cycles). More importantly, the healed PBPE can completely recover its properties from damage in LFP cells and enable the cells to possess cycle performance identical to original PBPE.

Architecture construction of electrode is one key factor for hydrogen generation from electrochemical water splitting. To enhance the efficiency of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at high current density , the architecture construction must be designed skillfully to prevent the surface blanketed by gas bubbles. In this work, we developed a three-level hierarchical surface with cluster-like nickel (Ni) nanowire array. The contact angle measurement indicates the surface having excellent hydrophilicity . The OER performance characterization reveals that after the surface is loaded with NiFe-based catalyst the Ni nanowire array electrode can deliver 500 mA cm −2 at an overpotential of 297 mV in 1 M KOH solution and can survive for over 24 h under 500 mA cm −2 operation. All the results demonstrate that the cluster-like nanowire array is beneficial for the spatial pathway separation for electrolyte supply and gas bubbles departure and the enhancement of OER efficiency.

The effect of ethylene glycol bis(propionitrile) ether(DENE) as a novel electrolyte additive on the electrochemical performance of a graphite anode was studied in this paper. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), charge/discharge tests, cyclic voltammetry(CV), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) were used to investigate the SEI film and the cycle performance of graphite anode. The initial charge capacities of the graphite electrode in the electrolytes without and with 1% DENE were 319 mAhg −1 and 349 mAhg −1 , respectively. After 60 cycles, the charge capacities without and with 1% DENE were 315 mAhg -1 and 350 mAhg -1 , respectively. and the capacity retention rates were 95.8% and 98.1%, respectively. DENE promoted the formation of a thin and uniform SEI layer and improved the stability of the electrode. The addition of DENE effectively improved the electrochemical performance of graphite anodes.

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.
