Cathode materials are crucial for lithium-ion battery (LIB) performance, significantly affecting cost, energy density, cycle life, rate performance, and safety. However, a single cathode usually cannot satisfy diverse performance requirements. With the development of LIBs technology, blending two or more different cathode materials can achieve a more balanced electrochemical performance than a single component. The olivine-type LiMnxFe1-xPO4 material is a derivative of LiFePO4, and LiMnxFe1-xPO4 is promising for LIBs due to its high energy density, low cost, environmental friendliness, and safety. Its voltage plateau also matches that of oxide-type cathode materials, making it suitable for blended cathode materials systems. This paper reviews the characteristics of LiMnxFe1-xPO4 cathode material and its electrochemical performance when combined with other oxide cathode materials to form blended materials. Based on current results, it also discusses future research directions, suggesting strategies such as combining LiMnxFe1-xPO4 with higher Mn content and optimizing battery fabrication processes to enhance safety, energy density, and wide-temperature performance of blended cathode battery systems.

All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs) are expected to replace traditional lithium-ion batteries due to their excellent safety and high energy density. However, the poor interfacial stability between lithium metal and solid electrolyte is a major obstacle. Here, we design a stable interface with “dredging+blocking” dual protection. The interface is composed of a composite lithium anode and a functionalized electrolyte. During lithium-ion plating/stripping, the composite lithium anode of the hybrid SEI interface has a good electron/ion conductive network to ensure the rapid transmission of electrons in the lithium anode, enhance the bulk diffusion of lithium, and play a role in “dredging” the distribution of lithium ions. When lithium dendrites further grow along the interparticle space of the electrolyte, especially at high current density, the functional electrolyte can be used as a second protective line. By reacting with lithium metal, consuming lithium, and further forming a stable interface, it plays a role in “blocking” lithium dendrite growth. Therefore, the symmetrical battery achieves a stable cycle (1400 h, 0.5 mA cm−2) and an ultra-high critical current density (5.2 mA cm−2). ASSLMBs achieve long-cycle performance (700 cycles, 70 % capacity retention) and good rate performance in a wide temperature range. This dual modification strategy significantly enhances lithium metal compatibility, offering a viable path for the development of high-performance ASSLMBs.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, featuring superior electronic/thermal/mechanical properties, offer a paradigm shift in material science for boosting the rapid development of various sophisticated electronics. Combining with 2D materials, emerging piezotronics and tribotronics can further utilize external mechanical stimuli to modulate their transport properties in an active and direct fashion, delivering more diverse and versatile possibilities in the post-Moore era. Starting with the origin and development of piezotronics and tribotronics with 2D materials, this review provides a comprehensive investigation of their working mechanism, piezotronics in 2D materials, and research progress on piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG)/triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) modulated 2D field-effect transistors (FETs) and their broad applications. First, this review focuses on non-centrosymmetric piezoelectric materials and interface engineering to endow 2D materials with piezoelectric properties, and discusses diverse structural designs and applications in environmental/mechanical sensing. Second, the applications of PENG/TENG modulated 2D FETs are discussed regarding mechanical sensing, band structure engineering, artificial synapses, and so on. Finally, the advantages of piezotronics and tribotronics of 2D materials from material to device level are summarized in terms of structural design and functionality. Challenges related to the preparation and processing, reliability and stability of the devices are also pointed out. Synergistic integration of 2D materials with piezo/tribotronics is expected to be a significant complement to current information technology to go beyond Moore's Law, presenting great promise in self-powered smart devices/systems, adaptive human-robot interaction, edge-intelligent artificial prosthesis, etc.

The fabrication of high-density electrodes for practical Li-ion batteries requires a high calendaring pressure. However, inevitable cathode particle fracturing increases the cathode–electrolyte contact area, thereby inducing undesirable side reactions that deteriorate battery performance and safety. To resolve this issue, we propose an intergranular protection strategy that can mitigate the crack-induced performance deterioration of Ni-rich cathodes. Our approach is primarily based on microstructure engineering. The introduction of fast interdiffusion pathways for F infusion enables the formation of F-rich species on the surfaces of internal grains. In addition, some F− is doped into the cathode crystal structure, promoting the formation of a structurally stable cation-ordered phase. The chemical and structural engineering of Li[Ni0.9Co0.05Mn0.05]O2 protects the cracked surfaces from electrolyte attack and thus improves the electrochemical performance of the cathode. The proposed strategy can also reduce the gassing of Ni-rich cathodes. As the incorporation of only trace amounts of Mo and F plays a crucial role in battery performance, this approach is promising for the development of advanced Ni-rich cathodes for future Li-ion batteries.
制造实用锂离子电池的高密度电极需要很高的压延压力。然而，不可避免的阴极颗粒断裂会增加阴极与电解液的接触面积，从而诱发不良的副反应，导致电池性能和安全性下降。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一种晶间保护策略，可以减轻裂纹引起的富镍阴极性能下降。我们的方法主要基于微结构工程。为 F 注入引入快速的相互扩散途径可在内部晶粒表面形成富含 F 的物种。此外，一些 F- 掺杂到阴极晶体结构中，促进了结构稳定的阳离子有序相的形成。锂[Ni0.9Co0.05Mn0.05]O2的化学和结构工程可保护裂纹表面免受电解质侵蚀，从而提高阴极的电化学性能。建议的策略还能减少富镍阴极的气化现象。由于仅掺入微量的 Mo 和 F 对电池性能起着至关重要的作用，因此这种方法有望为未来的锂离子电池开发出先进的富镍阴极。

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with Ni-rich cathodes and Si-based anodes hold great promise for achieving high energy densities over 350 Wh kg−1. However, interfacial instability and crossover effects severely degrade their cycling life. The inner Helmholtz plane (IHP) layer, where molecules readily engage in electrochemical reactions, plays a critical role in interface chemistry. In this study, we construct a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM) via a facile wet chemical process to regulate the IHP layer. The ordered SAM, composed of highly fluorinated thiol molecules, drastically weakens the affinity to carbonate molecules, producing IHP layers with fewer solvent components and effectively suppresses adverse side reactions. This alternation bolsters cathodic interfacial and structural stability, further mitigating the dissolution of transition metals and their crossover effects. As a result, the SAM-modified NCM cathodes exhibit a capacity retention of 90.5 %, outperforming unmodified NCM (72.5 %) upon 150 cycles at 0.2 C. More impressively, the SAM layer improves the capacity retention of SiOx/C||NCM full-cells from 48 % to 74 % over 500 cycles. This work provides a straightforward yet effective approach for enhancing interfacial stability in LIBs, offering valuable insights into interfacial chemistry regulation and advancing high-energy-density battery technologies.

The development of functional sodium-containing solid-state batteries (SSBs) depends on advancing solid-state electrolyte (SSE) materials with high ionic conductivity and exceptional chemical-electrochemical stability, which continues to pose significant challenges. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various sodium-containing SSEs, including oxides, sulfides, halides, and polymers. It begins with a brief historical perspective on the evolution of each SSE type, followed by an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms governing ion transport. We then evaluate the relative advantages and limitations of these SSEs, focusing on their suitability for integration into sodium-containing battery systems. The characterization techniques used to decouple and understand the complex processes within SSBs are also discussed. Furthermore, we highlight the most promising solutions to the current challenges in SSE development, with particular emphasis on recent advancements in interfacial design aimed at enhancing battery performance.

Wearable biosensors capable of long-term operation facilitate future precision medicine and personalized health monitoring by in-situ acquisition, real-time processing, and continuous transmission of biological signals. Self-powered technologies provide effective strategies to achieve the above goals, but make the entire bioelectronic system more complex. Ultimately, challenges of material engineering, miniaturization, and performance enhancement converge into the all-in-one engineering of self-powered wearable biosensor systems. Matching the power output of the energy module with the power consumption requirements of the signal module is the basic prerequisite for achieving all-in-one design. This review takes power as the entry point to comprehensively analyze and summarize the mechanisms, performance ranges, enhancement strategies, application examples, and future prospects of self-powered wearable biosensors. We review the principles, engineering strategies, and capabilities in energy collection, management, and storage of current self-powered technologies to determine the output power range and methods for performance enhancement. Next, we discuss and compare the strategies and mechanisms for signal acquisition, processing, and transmission, focusing on the performance, size, wearability and enhancement strategies of each module. Most importantly, we summarize the four representative all-in-one engineering strategies in the system, covering design principles, basic materials, targeted parts, integration levels, advantages and disadvantages. Finally, we outline key challenges and potential solutions for six modules in preparation for intelligent and networked sensing.

N-type organic mixed ion-electron conductors (OMIECs) are a unique class of organic materials, capable of both transporting and coupling cations and electrons. While important for various devices operating in an aqueous electrolyte, understanding n-type mixed conduction remains challenging due to a lack of comprehensive data, which impedes the rational design of high performance electronic materials. Using a diverse array of in situ spectroscopy techniques, including an electrochemical spectro-gravimetric tool, Raman spectroscopy, and grazing-incidence wide angle X-Ray scattering, we investigate the electrochemical doping of two polymeric n-type OMIECs with differing oligoether side chain length. We find that the polymer films swell drastically during electrochemical reduction, with electrolyte uptake scaling proportionally to the length of the polar side chains, ultimately disrupting the crystalline structure. Electrolyte ingress in the film has two important consequences. First, the extent of water uptake during reduction governs the nature of polaronic species formed at the same doping voltage, which we studied by varying aqueous salt concentration and using ionic liquid electrolytes. Second, swelling regulates oxygen reduction reaction rates, revealing the importance of side-chain chemistry in controlling the electrochemical side reactions of the OMIECs. This study underscores the critical role of water, traditionally perceived as a passive element, in influencing the optoelectronic and electrochemical properties of OMIEC films and suggests in situ electrolyte permeation as a crucial material specification when designing n-type devices for electrochromic displays, energy storage, and catalysis.

While important for various devices operating in an aqueous electrolyte, understanding n-type mixed conduction remains challenging due to a lack of comprehensive data, which impedes the rational design of high performance electronic materials. Using a diverse array of in situ spectroscopy techniques, including an electrochemical spectro-gravimetric tool, Raman spectroscopy, and grazing-incidence wide angle X-Ray scattering, we investigate the electrochemical doping of two polymeric n-type OMIECs with differing oligoether side chain length.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as a class of materials with exceptional electronic, optical, and mechanical properties, making them highly tunable for diverse applications in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and catalysis. This review focuses on substitutional doping of TMDs, a key strategy to tailor their properties and enhance device performance, with a focus on its applications over the past five years (2019–2024). We delve into both theoretical and experimental doping approaches, including established methods like chemical vapor transport (CVT) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) alongside liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) and post-synthesis treatments. Advanced growth techniques are also explored. Challenges like dopant uniformity, concentration control, and stability are addressed. The influence of various dopants on the electronic band structure, carrier concentration, and defect engineering is analyzed in detail. We further explore recent advancements in utilizing doped TMDs for field-effect transistors (FETs), photodetectors, sensors, photovoltaics, optoelectronic devices, energy storage and conversion, and even quantum computers. By examining both the potential and limitations of substitutional doping, this review aims to propel future research and technological advancements in this exciting field.
