The Front Cover shows how the sluggish (de)intercalation of Mg2+ in MoS2 cathode materials was overcome by using Mg2+/Li+ dual-salt electrolytes. The simultaneous insertion of Mg2+ and Li+ ions notably boosted the electrochemical performance of MoS2 in rechargeable magnesium batteries allowing the cell to achieve a remarkable initial specific capacity of 100 mAh g−1, almost three times higher than the specific capacity of MoS2 in Mg single-salt electrolytes.

This work focuses on the combination of two strategies to improve the safety of lithium-ion batteries: The use of a glyoxylic-acetal, 1,1,2,2-tetraethoxyethane, in the solvent blend to reduce the flammability of the liquid electrolyte and further its confinement inside of a methacrylate-based polymer matrix, to prevent electrolyte leakage from the battery cells. Physicochemical characterizations of this novel gel-polymer electrolyte (GPE) confirm its improved thermal properties and suitable ionic conductivity, as well as electrochemical stability window. Tests in LFP and hard carbon half-cells vs. lithium metal show that the combination of glyoxylic-acetal-based electrolyte and the methacrylate-based polymer matrix can promote lithium-ion intercalation and deintercalation with stable capacity values. The application in lithium-ion battery full cells furthermore shows that the GPE can promote a similar performance compared to the respective liquid electrolyte and can therefore make possible the realization of energy storage devices with improved safety characteristics.

Increasing energy density without sacrificing the lifetime, power and cyclability of electrochemical capacitors is a very important goal. However, most efforts are directed toward the improvement of active charge-storing materials, while the design of devices and minimization of the weight/volume of the passive component have received less attention. We propose here a mathematical model of a carbon supercapacitor in organic electrolyte, which establishes a relationship between the specific capacitance of a device, the thickness of its electrodes, and the weight of its passive components (case, external current leads, current collectors, etc.). The model was built based on experimentally obtained dependences and has been validated using experiments with electrodes made of two porous carbon materials. Regardless of the pore size distribution in the specified range of electrode thicknesses, the functional dependence of the electrode's specific capacitance on the thickness is well described within the linear approximation. The developed model enables optimization of the electrode thickness, thus maximizing specific energy density for a chosen carbon electrode material.

Rechargeable lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) are gaining interest as next-generation energy storage devices due to their superior theoretical energy density. While recent years have seen successful operation of LOBs with high cell-level energy density, the technology for cell fabrication is still in its infancy. This is because the cell fabrication procedure for LOBs is quite different from that of conventional lithium-ion batteries. The study presents a fully automated sequential robotic experimental setup for the fabrication of stacked-type LOB cells. This approach allows for high accuracy and high throughput fabrication of the cells. The developed system enables the fabrication of over 80 cells per day, which is 10 times higher than conventional human-based experiments. In addition, the high alignment accuracy during the electrode stacking and electrolyte injection process results in improved battery performance and reproducibility. The effectiveness of the developed system was also confirmed by investigating a multi-component electrolyte to maximize battery performance. We believe the methodology demonstrated in the present study is beneficial for accelerating the research and development of LOBs.

The Nickel-based layered transition metal oxide cathode represented by NCM (LiNixCoyMnzO2, x+y+z=1) and NCA (LiNixCoyAlzO2, x+y+z=1) is widely used in the electric vehicle market due to its specific capacity and high working potential, in which Cobalt (Co) plays a huge role in improving the structural stability during the cycle. However, the limited supply of Co, due to its scarcity and the influence of geopolitics, poses a significant constraint on the further advancement of the Nickel-based layered transition metal oxide cathode in the field of energy storage. In this paper, the mechanism of Co in the Nickel-based layered transition metal oxides is reviewed, including its critical role for structural stability such as the inhibition of cationic mixing and the release of lattice oxygen et al. Subsequently, it outlines various strategies to enhance the performance of Co-lean/free materials, such as ion doping, including single-ion doping and multi-ion co-doping, and various surface coating strategies, so as to eliminate the adverse effects of Co loss on materials. Ultimately, this paper offers a glimpse into the promising future of Cobalt-free strategies for high performance of Nickel-based layered transition metal oxides.

The new energy market is growing rapidly, lithium batteries (LBs) as the most important source of energy supply in the energy storage and power market, has higher requirements for fast charge and long life, so it is necessary to improve the cell voltage and energy density of LBs. However, LBs with high voltage and high energy density will face serious challenges of electrolyte decomposition and electrode corrosion in high voltage environment. Herein, this review summarizes the effects of a series of sultones as electrolyte additives in high voltage electrolytes. It is found that DTD, ES, 1,3-PS, PES, PCS, MMDS, BDTD, BDTT, DTDph, ODTO, FPS, VES and other sultones have excellent properties on stabilizing SEI/CEI formation, inhibiting gas production, and good high temperature resistance. The preferential oxidation/reduction of sultones can protect the electrolyte from decomposition, and the uniform and dense SEI/CEI can also promote Li+ transport, protect the electrode from corrosion, prevent the growth of lithium dendrites, and promote the insertion and removal of Li+, so as to improve the cycle life of the high-voltage battery. Therefore, sultones are very suitable as high-voltage LBs electrolyte additives to improve the performance of cells. This review can provide theoretical support for the design of high voltage and high energy density LBs electrolyte and selection of additives in the future.

Germanium (Ge) is demonstrated to be prospective as a lithium-ion battery anode material, yet the cycling stability is undermined by substantial volume fluctuations, restricting its viability for practical applications. Here, we present a facile Zn-based metal−organic framework (MOF) engaged route to produce Ge nanoparticles in situ encapsulated in nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon (denoted as Ge@N-C) as an anode material. This method uses a zinc-triazolate MOF (MET-6) and commercial GeO2 as the hybrid carbon and Ge precursors. After a heating treatment, the Ge@N-C composite is readily obtained along with the simultaneous thermal decomposition of MET-6 and the reduction of GeO2. Benefiting from the mesoporous structure and high electrical conductivity of N−C, along with the strong interaction between Ge and N−C, the obtained Ge@N-C electrode exhibits a significant reversible charge capacity of 1012.8 mAh g−1 after 150 cycles at 0.1 A g−1, and excellent rate capability. Furthermore, a reversible charge capacity of 521.1 mAh g−1 can be maintained at 5.0 A g−1 after 1000 cycles.

For rechargeable magnesium batteries, chlorine-containing electrolytes are used because chlorine species reduce the energy barrier for the intercalation process at the cathode. However, these species can cause corrosion of the cathode-side current collectors during polarization. In this study, carbon-coated aluminum and Nickel metal substrates, as well as a graphite foil, were investigated using Linear Sweep Voltammetry, Chronoamperometry, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy to evaluate their potential as current collectors in APC electrolyte. The graphite-based current collector withstood corrosive environments at polarization potentials up to 2 V, displaying passivating behavior comparable to platinum in Chronoamperometry measurements. During Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy measurements, the graphite foil exhibited exceptionally high polarization resistance of at least 4.5 MΩ cm2. Combined with its low areal density of 5 mg/cm−2, this makes it an excellent current collector material for rechargeable magnesium batteries with chlorine-containing electrolytes. In contrast, Al foil are instable towards corrosion – despite protective coatings.

Lithium ion intercalation chemistry in graphite underpins commercial lithium-ion batteries since 1991. In exploring the potential of cost-effective graphite anodes in alternative battery systems, the conventional intercalation chemistry falls short for Na ions, which exhibited minimal capacity and thermodynamic unfavourability in sodium ion batteries (SIBs). The introduction of an alternative intercalation chemistry involving solvated-Na-ion co-intercalation gives a rebirth to graphite anodes. The co-intercalation chemistry allows appreciable Na ion storage capacities and extraordinary rate capabilities. The fundamental differences between intercalation and co-intercalation chemistries have attracted extensive investigation over the past decade for high-power SIBs. Herein, we focus on the state-of-the-art advances on the co-intercalation chemistry in the SIBs for the purpose of enriching insights into graphite intercalation chemistry. Following our introducing the thermodynamic features of co-intercalation reactions, we will illuminate the electrochemical properties and mechanic issues of co-intercalated graphite, finalized by the perspective challenges and potential resolutions.
自 1991 年以来,石墨中的锂离子插层化学一直是商用锂离子电池的基础。在探索具有成本效益的石墨负极在替代电池系统中的潜力时,传统的插层化学在钠离子电池(SIBs)中表现出最小容量和热力学上的不利性,而对 Na 离子而言则存在不足。溶解态 Na 离子共插层化学的引入为石墨阳极带来了新生。共掺杂化学可实现可观的 Na 离子存储容量和非凡的速率能力。在过去十年中,插层化学与共插层化学之间的根本区别吸引了人们对大功率 SIB 的广泛研究。在此,我们重点介绍 SIB 中共闰化学的最新进展,以丰富对石墨插层化学的认识。在介绍共插层反应的热力学特征之后,我们将阐明共插层石墨的电化学特性和力学问题,最后提出面临的挑战和可能的解决方案。

The emerging concept of weakly solvating electrolytes in multivalent ion aqueous batteries has garnered attention due to their enhanced kinetic performance at a low cost. This article aims to dissect the concept of “weakly solvating electrolyte” into three revelations, i. e., ion solvation, hydrogen bonding strength, and ionic interactions. It is revealed that a weakly interacting solvent must satisfy the requirements of having a solvation strength weaker than water molecules, as well as disrupting rather than strengthening hydrogen bonding within them. Moreover, electrolyte chemistry requires balancing multiple factors, and one weakly interacting solvent can exhibit varying effects with different anions of zinc salts. This study offers quantitative descriptors to the concept of weak solvation, particularly for aqueous electrolytes, and provides insights for future electrolyte advancements for multivalent ion batteries.

This article aims to dissect the concept of “weakly solvating electrolyte” into three revelations, i. e., ion solvation, hydrogen bonding strength, and ionic interactions. It is revealed that a weakly interacting solvent must satisfy the requirements of having a solvation strength weaker than water molecules, as well as disrupting rather than strengthening hydrogen bonding within them. Moreover, electrolyte chemistry requires balancing multiple factors, and one weakly interacting solvent can exhibit varying effects with different anions of zinc salts.
