Carbon dioxide (CO2) and absorbent regeneration are the most energy-intensive processes in carbon capture loops. Conventional carbon capture technologies typically consume substantial amounts of heat and involve multiple steps for regeneration. Here we demonstrated one-step electrochemical regeneration of CO2 and alkaline absorbent from carbon-containing solutions in a modular porous solid electrolyte (PSE) reactor. By performing hydrogen evolution and oxidation redox reactions, our PSE reactor selectively split NaHCO3/Na2CO3 solutions, which typically come from air contactors after CO2 absorption, into NaOH absorbent in the catholyte and high-purity CO2 gas in the PSE layer. No chemicals were consumed and no by-products were generated. High Na+-ion transport number (~90%), high capture capacity retention (~90%), low energy consumptions (50 kJ molCO2−1 and 118 kJ molCO2−1 at 1 mA cm−2 and 100 mA cm−2 for bicarbonate, respectively) and long-term stability (>100 hours) were demonstrated. We achieved industrially relevant carbon regeneration rates of up to 1 A cm−2 (~18 mmol cm−2 h−1), highlighting the promising application potential. Carbon capture technologies often consume substantial amounts of heat and require multiple steps to release CO2 and regenerate the absorbent. Here the authors report one-step electrochemical regeneration of CO2 and alkaline absorbent from (bi)carbonate solutions using a porous solid electrolyte reactor.
二氧化碳(CO2)和吸收剂再生是碳捕集循环中最耗能的过程。传统的碳捕集技术通常需要消耗大量热量,并涉及多个再生步骤。在这里,我们在模块化多孔固体电解质(PSE)反应器中演示了一步式电化学再生含碳溶液中的二氧化碳和碱性吸收剂。通过氢进化和氧化还原反应,我们的 PSE 反应器可选择性地将 NaHCO3/Na2CO3 溶液(通常来自吸收二氧化碳后的空气接触器)分离成阴溶液中的 NaOH 吸收剂和 PSE 层中的高纯度二氧化碳气体。既不消耗化学品,也不产生副产品。结果表明,该方法具有高 Na+ 离子传输数(约 90%)、高捕集能力保持率(约 90%)、低能耗(在 1 mA cm-2 和 100 mA cm-2 条件下,碳酸氢盐的能耗分别为 50 kJ molCO2-1 和 118 kJ molCO2-1)和长期稳定性(100 小时)。我们实现了高达 1 A cm-2 (约 18 mmol cm-2 h-1)的工业相关碳再生率,凸显了其巨大的应用潜力。

The cathode–electrolyte interphase plays a pivotal role in determining the usable capacity and cycling stability of electrochemical cells, yet it is overshadowed by its counterpart, the solid–electrolyte interphase. This is primarily due to the prevalence of side reactions, particularly at low potentials on the negative electrode, especially in state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries where the charge cutoff voltage is limited. However, as the quest for high-energy battery technologies intensifies, there is a pressing need to advance the study of cathode–electrolyte interphase properties. Here, we present a comprehensive approach to analyse the cathode–electrolyte interphase in battery systems. We underscore the importance of employing model cathode materials and coin cell protocols to establish baseline performance. Additionally, we delve into the factors behind the inconsistent and occasionally controversial findings related to the cathode–electrolyte interphase. We also address the challenges and opportunities in characterizing and simulating the cathode–electrolyte interphase, offering potential solutions to enhance its relevance to real-world applications. The cathode–electrolyte interphase (CEI) is vital for battery cell capacity and stability but receives less attention than the solid–electrolyte interphase. The authors review CEI properties, emphasize using model cathode materials and coin cell protocols, and address challenges and opportunities in characterizing and simulating CEI for real-world applications.
阴极-电解质相间层在决定电化学电池的可用容量和循环稳定性方面发挥着关键作用,但与之相对应的固态-电解质相间层相比,阴极-电解质相间层的作用却黯然失色。这主要是由于副反应的普遍存在,特别是在负极电位较低时,尤其是在充电截止电压有限的最先进锂离子电池中。然而,随着人们对高能电池技术的不断追求,迫切需要推进对正极-电解质相间特性的研究。在此,我们提出了一种分析电池系统中阴极-电解质相间的综合方法。我们强调了采用模型阴极材料和纽扣电池协议建立基线性能的重要性。此外,我们还深入探讨了与阴极-电解质相生相克相关的研究结果不一致且偶尔存在争议的背后因素。我们还探讨了表征和模拟阴极-电解质相间过程所面临的挑战和机遇,并提供了潜在的解决方案,以提高其与实际应用的相关性。

We analyse US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentives for electric vehicle battery technology and supply chain decisions. We find that the total value of available credits exceeds estimated battery production costs, but qualifying for all available credits is difficult. IRA cell and module credits alone bring estimated US battery production costs in line with China. In contrast, IRA material extraction and processing credits are modest. IRA’s end-user purchase credits are restricted to electric vehicles whose battery supply chains exclude foreign entities of concern, including China. This incentivizes diversification of the entire supply chain, but leasing avoids these restrictions. Lithium iron phosphate batteries have potential to more easily reduce supply chain vulnerabilities and qualify for incentives, but they have smaller total available incentives than nickel/cobalt-based batteries. Overall, the IRA primarily incentivizes downstream battery manufacturing diversification, whereas upstream supply implications depend on automaker responses to foreign entities of concern and leasing rules. The Inflation Reduction Act increases the competitiveness of US electric vehicle battery manufacturing and incentivizes supply chain diversification, but reducing vulnerabilities will depend on automaker choices in battery design and navigating regulations.
我们分析了美国《通货膨胀削减法案》(IRA)对电动汽车电池技术和供应链决策的激励作用。我们发现,可用信用额度的总价值超过了估计的电池生产成本,但要获得所有可用信用额度却很困难。仅 IRA 电池和模块抵免就能使美国电池生产成本与中国持平。相比之下,IRA 的材料提取和加工抵免额度并不高。IRA 的最终用户购买信用额度仅限于电池供应链不包括包括中国在内的外国相关实体的电动汽车。这激励了整个供应链的多样化,但租赁避免了这些限制。磷酸铁锂电池有可能更容易减少供应链漏洞,并符合激励条件,但与镍基/钴基电池相比,其可用激励总额较小。总体而言,《综合减排法》主要激励下游电池制造多样化,而上游供应的影响则取决于汽车制造商对外国相关实体和租赁规则的反应。

As Europe’s renewable energy capacities expand, electricity systems face increased risks of energy droughts—periods of low production coinciding with high demand. We evaluate characteristics of electricity variability due to weather variations by calculating 1,600 years of daily production and demand. Focusing on five European countries—chosen for their energy mix including hydropower—we find that energy droughts result from processes that cause (temporally) compounding impacts in the energy and meteorological system. These can turn what might have been short-term droughts into prolonged high unmet energy demand. For instance, low reservoir inflows in spring quadruple the chance of prolonged energy droughts: reduced snowpack and rainfall lower hydro availability but also dry out subsoils, increasing the chance of heatwaves and therewith extending the energy problems into summer. We identify and quantify three compounding energy/climate conditions and the associated characteristics and risks of multi-year energy droughts, crucial for informing future energy system design. As Europe’s renewable energy grows, energy droughts become more likely. This analysis of daily production and demand from five EU countries shows that compounded weather impacts, such as low spring reservoir inflows, can quadruple drought risks in summer and winter.
随着欧洲可再生能源容量的扩大,电力系统面临着更大的能源干旱风险--低产量与高需求并存的时期。我们通过计算 1600 年的日产量和需求量,评估了天气变化导致的电力变化特征。我们以五个欧洲国家为重点,选择了包括水电在内的能源组合,发现能源干旱是由能源和气象系统中造成(时间上的)复合影响的过程导致的。这可能会使原本短期的干旱变成长期的高能源需求得不到满足。例如,春季水库进水量低会使长期能源干旱的几率增加四倍:积雪和降雨量减少会降低水力供应,同时也会使底土干燥,增加热浪的几率,从而将能源问题延长到夏季。我们确定并量化了三种复合能源/气候条件以及多年能源干旱的相关特征和风险,这对未来能源系统的设计至关重要。

Lithium-metal battery (LMB) research and development has been ongoing for six decades across academia, industry and national laboratories. Despite this extensive effort, commercial LMBs have yet to displace, or offer a ready alternative to, lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles (EVs). Here we explore some of the most critical industry needs that will have to be resolved to advance practical LMB designs for implementation in EVs. We begin our exploration with a brief overview of LMBs, then consider the following needs: energy density, anode thickness and cathode loading, electrolyte formulation and gas generation, electrolyte injection amount, cathode oxygen release, cell pressure control, cell format, cell manufacturing quality checks and battery modelling. We conclude with generic cell design recommendations for future LMB EV applications. Despite extensive research, lithium-metal batteries have not yet replaced lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. The authors explore critical industry needs for advancing lithium-metal battery designs for electric vehicles and conclude with cell design recommendations.
六十年来,学术界、工业界和国家实验室一直在进行锂金属电池(LMB)的研究和开发。尽管付出了如此巨大的努力,但商用锂金属电池仍未能取代电动汽车(EV)中的锂离子电池,或成为锂离子电池的替代品。在此,我们将探讨一些最关键的行业需求,这些需求必须得到解决,才能推动实用的锂电池设计在电动汽车中的应用。我们首先简要介绍了锂离子电池,然后考虑了以下需求:能量密度、阳极厚度和阴极负载、电解液配方和气体生成、电解液注入量、阴极氧气释放、电池压力控制、电池形式、电池制造质量检查和电池建模。最后,我们为未来的 LMB 电动汽车应用提出了通用电池设计建议。

We begin our exploration with a brief overview of LMBs, then consider the following needs: energy density, anode thickness and cathode loading, electrolyte formulation and gas generation, electrolyte injection amount, cathode oxygen release, cell pressure control, cell format, cell manufacturing quality checks and battery modelling. We conclude with generic cell design recommendations for future LMB EV applications. Despite extensive research, lithium-metal batteries have not yet replaced lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. The authors explore critical industry needs for advancing lithium-metal battery designs for electric vehicles and conclude with cell design recommendations.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"9 10","pages":"1199-1205"},"PeriodicalIF":49.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142324972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Climate stabilization requires the mobilization of substantial investments in low- and zero-carbon technologies, especially in emerging and developing economies. However, access to stable and affordable finance varies dramatically across countries. Models used to evaluate the energy transition do not differentiate regional financing costs and therefore cannot study risk-sharing mechanisms for renewable electricity generation. In this study, we incorporated the empirically estimated cost of capital differentiated by country and technology into an ensemble of five climate–energy–economy models. We quantified the additional financing cost of decarbonization borne by developing regions and explored policies of risk premium convergence across countries. We found that alleviating financial constraints benefits both climate and equity as a result of more renewable and affordable energy in the developing world. This highlights the importance of fair finance for energy availability, affordability and sustainability, as well as the need to include financial considerations in model-based assessments. Fair finance in the energy sector is modelled in five climate–energy–economy models. The results show that convergence costs of capital could improve energy availability, affordability and sustainability in developing countries, thereby increasing the international equity of the energy transition.
要稳定气候,就必须调动大量资金投资于低碳和零碳技术,特别是在新兴和发展中经济体。然而,各国在获得稳定且可负担的资金方面存在巨大差异。用于评估能源转型的模型没有区分地区融资成本,因此无法研究可再生能源发电的风险分担机制。在本研究中,我们将根据经验估算的、按国家和技术区分的资本成本纳入五个气候-能源-经济模型的组合中。我们量化了发展中地区承担的去碳化额外融资成本,并探讨了各国风险溢价趋同的政策。我们发现,由于发展中世界有了更多可再生的、负担得起的能源,缓解资金限制既有利于气候,也有利于公平。这凸显了公平融资对能源可用性、可负担性和可持续性的重要性,以及将金融因素纳入基于模型的评估的必要性。
