Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is essential for non-invasive battery characterization. This paper addresses the challenge of adequate interpretation of EIS spectra, which are often complicated by overlapping internal phenomena occurring on similar time scales. We present, for the first time, a high-fidelity numerical time-domain electrochemical model that can virtually replicate experimental EIS spectra with three superimposed high-frequency semicircles, a transition to the diffusion tail at elevated imaginary values, and a tilted diffusion tail at low frequencies. These advanced features were made possible by extending state-of-the-art porous electrode model with innovative sub-models for the double layer phenomenon at the carbon black/electrolyte and metal Li-anode/electrolyte interfaces, and transport phenomena of charged species through the solid electrolyte interphase at the Li-anode interface. Additionally, we modelled the diffusion tail inclination by introducing representative active particles of varying sizes. Results from custom-made half-cells confirm the model’s ability to decipher EIS spectra more accurately compared to existing models. Moreover, innovative physics-based battery model that is capable of accurately modelling intra-cell phenomena can reveal internal states and physical parameters of batteries using measured EIS spectra. The model, therefore, also enables functionality of an advanced virtual sensor, which is an important diagnostics feature in next-generation battery management systems.
电化学阻抗光谱(EIS)对于非侵入式电池特性分析至关重要。本文探讨了如何充分解释 EIS 光谱的难题,因为在相似的时间尺度上发生的重叠内部现象通常会使 EIS 光谱变得复杂。我们首次提出了一种高保真数值时域电化学模型,该模型可以几乎复制实验 EIS 光谱,其中包括三个叠加的高频半圆、虚值升高时向扩散尾部的过渡以及低频时倾斜的扩散尾部。这些先进特性是通过扩展最先进的多孔电极模型实现的,该模型具有创新的子模型,可用于模拟炭黑/电解质和金属锂阳极/电解质界面的双层现象,以及带电物种通过锂阳极界面上的固体电解质相间层的传输现象。此外,我们还通过引入不同尺寸的代表性活性颗粒来模拟扩散尾部的倾斜度。定制半电池的结果证实,与现有模型相比,该模型能够更准确地解读 EIS 光谱。此外,基于物理学的创新电池模型能够准确模拟电池内部现象,利用测量的 EIS 光谱揭示电池的内部状态和物理参数。因此,该模型还能实现先进虚拟传感器的功能,而这正是下一代电池管理系统的重要诊断功能。

Polyoxometalates (POMs) are inorganic nanoclusters that consist of oxygen and transition metals. These nanoclusters serve as excellent precursors for creating electrode materials that contain transition metals. Additionally, the interaction between POMs and carbon substrates produces positive synergistic effects. There has been considerable attention on employing POMs and carbon nanostructures (for example carbon nanotubes, graphene, and mesoporous carbon) in composite materials for diverse purposes including catalysis, transformation, storage of energy, molecular detection, and electrical detection. By combining the reactive nature of POMs with the exceptional electrical properties of carbon nanostructures, highly desirable composite features can be achieved. This review delves into the extensive use of POM/nanocarbon materials for constructing rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, providing an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of POMs and the techniques employed for binding carbon.

The effects of potential and the presence of B(OH)3 on Pt1-xCox alloy electrodeposition from aqueous chloride-based solutions on Ru substrates was investigated. Films deposited at potentials more reducing than −0.65 V vs SCE were hexagonal close packed and greater than 90% Co (mole basis), and films deposited at potentials more oxidizing than −0.65 V were face centered cubic and showed a monotonic decrease in cobalt content as the potential increased. The composition and structure-potential dependences were not strongly affected by the presence of B(OH)3. Structural change coincided with a distinct knee-like feature in the composition-potential relationship, along with a prominent narrow voltammetric peak associated with Co deposition, possibly related to nucleation and growth of the hcp phase. The presence of B(OH)3 produced a sharp minimum in both Coulombic efficiency and deposition rate at potentials near −0.65 V and almost entirely suppressed the voltammetric feature. This may be associated with a combination of B(OH)3-derived proton reduction and inhibition of metal deposition by adsorbed B(OH)3 or B(OH)3-derived species. The presence of B(OH)3 affected the magnetic behavior of films deposited at potentials more oxidizing than −0.55 V (i.e., those with compositions less than about 40% Co) only weakly, but resulted in generally smaller maximum magnetizations for films deposited at more reducing potentials, and notably a much lower magnetization for films deposited at −0.65 V.
研究了电位和 B(OH)3 的存在对 Pt1-xCox 合金在 Ru 基底上从氯化物水溶液中电沉积的影响。在相对于 SCE 的还原电位高于 -0.65 V 时沉积的薄膜为六方紧密堆积,钴含量超过 90%(摩尔基);而在相对于 SCE 的氧化电位高于 -0.65 V 时沉积的薄膜为面中心立方体,并且随着电位的升高,钴含量呈单调下降趋势。结构变化与成分-电位关系中明显的膝状特征以及与钴沉积有关的突出窄伏安峰相吻合,这可能与 hcp 相的成核和生长有关。在电位接近 -0.65 V 时,B(OH)3 的存在会使库仑效率和沉积速率急剧下降,并几乎完全抑制了伏安特性。这可能与 B(OH)3 衍生的质子还原以及吸附的 B(OH)3 或 B(OH)3 衍生物种对金属沉积的抑制作用有关。B(OH)3 的存在对在氧化性比 -0.55 V 更强的电位下沉积的薄膜(即钴含量低于 40% 的薄膜)的磁性行为影响较弱,但对在还原性更强的电位下沉积的薄膜的最大磁化率普遍较小,尤其是在 -0.65 V 下沉积的薄膜的磁化率更低。

Bisphenol A is a widely used endocrine disruptor known for its toxicity and prevalence in the environment. It contaminates drinking water, especially when plastic bottles are exposed to Sunlight. Rapid, on-site detection of BPA in drinking water is crucial for protecting human health and the environment. Herein, we developed an electrochemical sensor for detecting and monitoring bisphenol A in water bodies utilizing biobased materials. The device uses a biopolymeric membrane with agarose and gelified green tea tannins (GT/Agar). A sensitive part was made using this natural composite due to its high ability to attach bisphenol A to tannin monomers. Green tea tannins were purified and characterized through HPLC, FTIR, SEM, and AFM. The electrochemical activity of the GT-Agar/Au sensor is also evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and scan rate. Based on its redox signal under the optimal experimental conditions, this sensor has a detection range of 10−16 M to 10−4 M, a limit of detection of 1.52 to 10−17 M and very high selectivity. The proposed sensor successfully determined BPA levels from ultra-trace concentrations in bottled water samples, achieving satisfactory recovery rates. Compared to the results obtained using HPLC, it demonstrates high reliability.
