Novel K0.45Rb0.05Mn0.85Mg0.15O2 (KRMMO) cathode encapsulated by bisphosphate K3PO4/Mn3PO4 shell layer is delicately designed for boosting potassium/sodium storage. Benefiting from the bisphosphate layer, the volume expansion of KRMMO is effectively inhibited, K3PO4/MnPO4 double-coated K0.45Rb0.05Mn0.85Mg0.15O2 (D-KRMMO) has a high electronic conductivity and fast ionic diffusivity, which can stimulate potassium/sodium storage. Meanwhile, bisphosphate K3PO4/Mn3PO4 shell directly isolates the cathode from the electrolyte to alleviate side reactions occurring between the electrolyte and the material, thus the dissolution of Mn in KRMMO host can be inhibited during the cycling process. In potassium ion batteries (PIBs), the discharge specific capacity of D-KRMMO is 105.9 mAh g−1 at a current density of 20 mA g−1 compared with pure KRMMO (94 mAh g−1 at 20 mA g−1). A highly reversible discharge specific capacity of 112.8 mAh g−1 at 100 mA g−1 is shown in the sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). And acceptable C-rate performances of 112.8 mAh g−1 and 44.8 mAh g−1 are exhibited at 100 mA g−1 and 2 A g−1, respectively. EIS and GITT measurements have shown that D-KRMMO cathode has faster ion mobility and electron mobility, as well as higher pseudocapacitance contribution.
新型 K0.45Rb0.05Mn0.85Mg0.15O2(KRMMO)阴极由双磷酸盐 K3PO4/Mn3PO4 壳层封装,设计精巧,可提高钾/钠储量。得益于双磷酸盐层有效抑制了 KRMMO 的体积膨胀,K3PO4/MnPO4 双涂层 K0.45Rb0.05Mn0.85Mg0.15O2 (D-KRMMO)具有高电子传导性和快速离子扩散性,可促进钾/钠储存。同时,双磷酸盐 K3PO4/Mn3PO4 外壳直接将阴极与电解质隔离,减轻了电解质与材料之间发生的副反应,从而在循环过程中抑制了 KRMMO 主体中锰的溶解。在钾离子电池(PIBs)中,与纯 KRMMO(在 20 mA g-1 电流密度下为 94 mAh g-1)相比,D-KRMMO 在 20 mA g-1 电流密度下的放电比容量为 105.9 mAh g-1。在钠离子电池(SIBs)中,100 mA g-1 时的高可逆放电比容量为 112.8 mAh g-1。在 100 mA g-1 和 2 A g-1 条件下,C 率分别为 112.8 mAh g-1 和 44.8 mAh g-1。EIS 和 GITT 测量结果表明,D-KRMMO 阴极具有更快的离子迁移率和电子迁移率,以及更高的假电容贡献率。

The counter gas transport of hydrogen and steam in solid oxide fuel cell anodes is numerically investigated to clarify the local behavior of gases and the effect of pore structure on the gas transport. The three-dimensional analysis simulating equimolar counter transport of hydrogen and steam revealed that diffusion is dominant in fine pores, while convection is dominant in larger pores. It is also clarified that hydrogen is primarily transported in fine pores, while steam is primarily transported in larger pores at equimolar gas transport. The hydrogen transport in large pores significantly decreases as the gas concentration gradient decreases, and this suggests the importance of diffusional property at lower gas concentration gradients. On the other hand, changes in the gas concentration gradient have little effect on the correlation between steam transport and pore size. Additionally, the dependence on the gas concentration gradient becomes more pronounced with larger pore-structural scales.

可逆氧化还原中心对长寿命电极材料至关重要。铁是地球上丰富的元素,在锂离子电池中,LiFePO4 中高度可逆的 Fe2+/Fe3+ 氧化还原作为氧化还原中心发挥着重要作用,而锂层结构氧化物中的 Fe3+/Fe4+ 氧化还原则显示出较差的电化学性能。在钠离子电池中,钠层结构氧化物中的 Fe3+/Fe4+ 氧化还原作用活跃,而含铁钠层结构氧化物正极的循环性能有待进一步提高。本文合成了一种纯相层结构高熵氧化物 O3-Na(MgCu)1/12(NiCoFeMnTi)1/6O2,并将其作为钠离子电池正极进行了研究。在充放电过程中发生了可逆相变。特别是,X 射线吸收精细结构(XAFS)揭示了高度可逆的 Fe3+/Fe4+ 氧化还原。合成的高熵氧化物在 10 mA g-1 下的放电容量为 146.6 mAh g-1,并且在 2.0 至 4.1 V 之间以 100 mA g-1 对 Na+/Na 进行 700 次循环后仍能保持 83.2% 的容量。在这项工作中,Fe3+/Fe4+ 氧化还原的 Fe K 边出现了刚性位移,HEO-MgCuNi 可作为研究 Fe3+/Fe4+ 氧化还原基本特性的平台。

Metal aluminum is inexpensive, pollution-free, safe to use, and abundant in resources. It has great potential in electrochemical energy storage, with a theoretical specific capacity of up to 2980 mAh g−1. Sulfur not only has the advantages of abundant raw materials and low prices, but also has a theoretical capacity of 1675 mAh g−1. The theoretical energy density of Al-S batteries can reach up to 1340 Wh kg−1 when matched with metallic aluminum. However, the current research on Al-S batteries is still in its early stages, and the impact of differences in electrolyte systems on the electrochemical performance and working mechanism of Al-S batteries is not yet clear. The research on the electrochemical reaction mechanism, capacity degradation mechanism, and strategies to improve charge transfer kinetics of aluminum sulfur batteries is crucial for improving their electrochemical performance. From this perspective, this paper comprehensively summarizes the electrochemical performance, charging/discharging mechanisms, and battery level cost advantages of Al-S batteries with different electrolyte systems. The influence of the phase transition process of S and the shuttle effect of polysulfides on the electrochemical performance of Al-S batteries is elucidated based on different electrolyte systems. In addition, in response to the key issues currently existing in Al-S batteries, the next research directions are summarized and prospected.

With the rapid advancement of the electric vehicle industry, traditional lithium-ion batteries with organic liquid electrolytes are increasingly falling short of meeting the demanding standards for energy density and safety. All-solid-state batteries, characterized by their high safety and energy density, are considered the next generation of battery technologies. Among these, sulfide solid-state electrolytes have garnered significant attention due to their high ionic conductivity and excellent processability. However, the aging mechanisms of sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries remain inadequately studied, and the development of aging models for these systems is still in its early stages. This paper primarily investigates the aging mechanisms of the cathode of a sulfide-based all-solid-state battery through various characterization techniques and establishes a coupled electrochemical-aging model correspondingly. Additionally, it emphasizes the often-overlooked role of sulfide electrolyte cracking in the composite cathode as a contributor to the loss of active material. The proposed model demonstrates high accuracy in estimating the state of health of the battery during cyclic aging, offering a new approach to the aging modeling of all-solid-state batteries.

Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) present a promising alternative to conventional lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries due to their high energy density and theoretical capacity. However, their practical application is hindered by issues such as poor sulfur utilization, highly soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), and rapid capacity decay. This study introduces an innovative cell configuration using a separator coated with reduced graphene oxide/carbon nanotube (rGO/CNT) microspheres. The rGO/CNT-coated separator aims to enhance electron transfer, confine LiPSs within the cathode region, and mitigate their migration to the anode. In particular, the LSB cell with an rGO/CNT-modified separator delivers an impressive initial capacity of 1482 mAh g−1 and demonstrates a low capacity decay rate of 0.09% per cycle. The highly conductive rGO/CNT-coated separator enhances active material utilization even at high rates, resulting in a significant capacity of 824 mAh g−1 at 4C. Furthermore, the rGO/CNT-modified separator shows an impressive capacity of 895 mAh g−1 under high sulfur loading of 4.8 mg cm−2 with long-term cycling performance. The results demonstrate that the rGO/CNT-coated separator significantly enhances sulfur reutilization, reduces capacity decay, and improves the electrochemical stability of LSBs. This configuration simplifies the manufacturing process and offers a viable solution for the practical application of LSBs.

Enhancing the fast-charging capability of lithium-ion batteries is a promising way to extend the driving range of electric vehicles. One of the most effective and economic ways is to regulate the electrode-electrolyte interphase chemistry by employing electrolyte additives. This requires a comprehensive understanding of the intrinsic role and effectiveness of different electrolyte additives. In this work, five common electrolyte additives are comprehensively compared in graphite | LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 lithium-ion cells, including lithium difluorophosphate (PFO), lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB), lithium difluoro (oxalato)borate (DFOB), tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite (TMSPi), and tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphate (TMSPA). Although all of them are found to improve fast-charging performance over the baseline electrolyte, comprehensive analyses show that DFOB and TMSPi are the most effective additives, which results from their capability of ameliorating the electrode-electrolyte interphases at both the cathode and anode. This is confirmed with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and comprehensive electrochemical characterizations. In contrast, LiBOB and PFO can stabilize the cathode well, but make the anode-electrolyte interphase more resistive. Overall, this research expands the understanding of the role of electrolyte additives in fast-charging lithium-ion batteries.

The growing emergence of electric vehicles brings the problem of retired lithium-ion batteries (LiB) proliferation, so the retired LiB with different state-of-health (SOH) values are urgent to be employed for the second-life application. Due to the Matthew's effect caused by SOH difference, effective SOH equalization is required to achieve stable performance. In this study, the SOH equalization for large LiB system is established as large-scale global optimization problem, and the model predictive control (MPC) is introduced to control the depth of discharge (DOD) dynamically. In order to overcome the “curse of dimensionality” problem, a novel algorithm namely GALSE is proposed, in which the solution space segmentation and reorganization mechanism, and the improved selection, crossover and mutation operations are introduced to dispatch the power flows to achieve fast equalization speed. Experimental results show that with the utilization of GALSE algorithm, the high-dimensional equalization model with up to 1000 variables can be effectively optimized, the convergence speed and accuracy are significantly better than that of the state-of-the-art algorithms. In addition, when the GALSE algorithm is further integrated with MPC-based DOD control mechanism, the SOH values of large retired LiB packs can be effectively equalized with high accuracy and fast response speed.

Symmetrical solid oxide cell (SSOC) that uses the same electrode material for both oxygen electrode and fuel electrode can simplify the preparation process and enhance the durability of the cell. In this study, the Pr and Ni doped SmBaFe2O5+δ (SBF), Sm0.9Pr0.1BaFe2O5+δ (SPBF91) and Sm0.9Pr0.1BaFe1.6Ni0.4O5+δ (SPBFN) as symmetrical electrodes for SSOC are successfully prepared, and their properties are investigated. First principles calculation indicates that the oxygen vacancy formation energy of SPBF91 (2.24 eV), SPBFN (1.76 eV) is lower than that of SBF (2.49 eV). In addition, the doping of Pr and Ni significantly reduces the band center energy of Fe-3d and O-2p in SPBFN, which is conducive to oxygen ion and charge transfer. At 800 °C, the polarization resistance of SPBFN are 0.025 Ωcm2, and 0.11 Ωcm2 in air and H2, respectively. At 800 °C, using H2, CH3OH, and wet C3H8 as fuel, the maximum power density (MPD) of fuel cell with SPBFN as a symmetrical electrode reaches 850, 651 and 648 mWcm−2, respectively. The FeNi alloy is observed on the SPBFN surface at fuel electrode side. The FeNi alloy on SPBFN surface significantly improves the output performance and stability of symmetrical electrode. Furthermore, the solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) with PBSFN as a symmetrical electrode exhibits good stability during a 200 h test when electrolyzing H2-50%H2O and electrolysis CO2.

The flow field organization in liquid-cooled BTMS (Battery Thermal Management System) is crucial to the thermal performance of lithium-ion batteries. This study introduces an innovative single-phase spray technology to optimize the flow field and enhance thermal characteristics in BTMS. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations, key factors such as dielectric fluid type, nozzle diameter, spray angle, and nozzle position are analyzed. Novec 7500 is identified as the optimal dielectric fluid, with thermal conductivity and viscosity playing significant roles. Response Surface Analysis and the entropy weight TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution) determine optimal conditions: a 0.47 mm nozzle diameter, 0 mm nozzle offset, and an 88.16° spray angle. These parameters reduce the maximum battery temperature to 25.43 °C and minimize the temperature gradient to 3.41 °C, achieving reductions of 14.20 % and 57.74 %, respectively, compared to non-spray systems. Furthermore, the system reduces the maximum temperature of a 36-cell battery module by 27.28 % to 25.33 °C and the maximum temperature difference by 69.39 % to 4.35 °C. The optimized spray cooling technology is effective for smaller battery stacks and demonstrates the potential to maintain high cooling efficiency in complex systems, providing a solution for BTMS.
