文摘Sodium-ion batteries have emerged as promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries due to their abundant raw material reserves,low cost,enhanced safety,and environmental sustainability.Na_(2)Fe_(2)OS_(2),featuring a layered anti-perovskite structure,has attracted significant interest for its high capacity and facile synthesis.In this study,density functional theory calculations were performed to systematically investigate the phase stability,ionic conductivity,and voltage characteristics of Na_(2)Fe_(2)OS_(2)as a model system for anti-perovskite layered cathode materials.The compound exhibits excellent phase stability,and its equilibrium potential was calculated for the series Na_(x)Fe_(2)OCh_(2)(0<±<2)(where Ch represents chalcogenides).Naion transport analysis using the climbing image nudged elastic band method reveals a relatively low migration barrier(~0.47eV)along a dingonal pathway,indicating efficient Na^(+)mobility.To expand the materials design space,we systematically explored the effects of substituting Fe with various transition metals and replacing S with Se in NaaTM_(2)OCh_(2)structures.Among the variants studied,Na_(2)Mn_(2)OS_(2) demonstrates the most favorable combination of high voltage(~2.51V),robust phase stability,and superior energy density(~427 W-h/kg).This comprehensive comparison of transition metal substitutions provides vnluable insights for the rational design and experimental development of next-generation anti-perovskite layered cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

文摘Sluggish conversion reaction kinetics and spontaneous shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)are deemed as the two big mountains that hinder the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs).Herein,dual-defect engineering strategy is implemented by introducing boron-doping and phosphorusvacancy sites with MoP@NC composite as the precursor.Based on the experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations,B-MoP_(1-x)@NC-based electrode presents low oxidation potential,high lithium diffusivity,small Tafel slope and strong adsorption capability for polysulfides,which is beneficial to enhance the adsorption capability for LiPSs,reduce the lithium diffusion energy barriers and Gibbs free energy for the conversion reactions of LiPSs.As demonstrated,the corresponding Li-S/B-MoP1-x@NC batteries can remain high reversible capacity of 753 mAh/g at 0.5 C after 300 cycles,and keep a stable capacity of 520 mAh/g at 0.5 C after 100 cycles even at the high-loading content of 5.1mg/cm^(2).According to the results of in-situ UV–vis spectra,the satisfactory battery performance majorly originates from the existence of dual-defect characteristics in B-MoP1-x@NC catalyst,which effectively promotes the conversion reaction kinetics of LiPSs,and restrains the shuttle behavior of LiPSs.The key ideas of this work will enlighten the development of catalytic cathode materials for sulfur-based secondary batteries.

文摘Although lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)currently dominate a wide spectrum of energy storage applications,they face challenges such as fast cycle life decay and poor stability that hinder their further application.To address these limitations,element doping has emerged as a prevalent strategy to enhance the discharge capacity and extend the durability of Li-Ni-Co-Mn(LNCM)ternary compounds.This study utilized a machine learning-driven feature screening method to effectively pinpoint four key features crucially impacting the initial discharge capacity(IC)of Li-Ni-Co-Mn(LNCM)ternary cathode materials.These features were also proved highly predictive for the 50^(th)cycle discharge capacity(EC).Additionally,the application of SHAP value analysis yielded an in-depth understanding of the interplay between these features and discharge performance.This insight offers valuable direction for future advancements in the development of LNCM cathode materials,effectively promoting this field toward greater efficiency and sustainability.

文摘With the rapid development of new energy and the high proportion of new energy connected to the grid,energy storage has become the leading technology driving significant adjustments in the global energy landscape.Electrochemical energy storage,as the most popular and promising energy storage method,has received extensive attention.Currently,the most widely used energy storage method is metal-ion secondary batteries,whose performance mainly depends on the cathode material.Prussian blue analogues(PBAs)have a unique open framework structures that allow quick and reversible insertion/extraction of metal ions such as Na^(+),K^(+),Zn^(2+),Li^(+)etc.,thus attracting widespread attention.The advantages of simple synthesis process,abundant resources,and low cost also distinguish it from its counterparts.Unfortunately,the crystal water and structural defects in the PBAs lattice that is generated during the synthesis process,as well as the low Na content,significantly affect their electrochemical performance.This paper focuses on PBAs’synthesis methods,crystal structure,modification strategies,and their potential applications as cathode materials for various metal ion secondary batteries and looks forward to their future development direction.

文摘The recycling of cathode materials from spent lithium-ion battery has attracted extensive attention,but few research have focused on spent blended cathode materials.In reality,the blended materials of lithium iron phosphate and ternary are widely used in electric vehicles,so it is critical to design an effective recycling technique.In this study,an efficient method for recovering Li and Fe from the blended cathode materials of spent LiFePO_(4)and LiNi_(x)Co_(y)Mn_(1-x-y)O_(2)batteries is proposed.First,87%A1 was removed by alkali leaching.Then,91.65%Li,72.08%Ni,64.6%Co and 71.66%Mn were further separated by selective leaching with H_(2)SO_(4)and H_(2)O_(2).Li,Ni,Co and Mn in solution were recovered in the form of Li_(2)CO_(3)and hydroxide respectively.Subsequently,98.38%Fe was leached from the residue by two stage process,and it is recovered as FePO_(4)·2H_(2)O with a purity of 99.5%by precipitation.Fe and P were present in FePO_(4)·2H_(2)O in amounts of 28.34%and 15.98%,respectively.Additionally,the drift and control of various components were discussed,and cost-benefit analysis was used to assess the feasibility of potential application.

文摘Undoubtedly,the enormous progress observed in recent years in the Ni-rich layered cathode materials has been crucial in terms of pushing boundaries of the Li-ion battery(LIB)technology.The achieved improvements in the energy density,cyclability,charging speed,reduced costs,as well as safety and stability,already contribute to the wider adoption of LIBs,which extends nowadays beyond mobile electronics,power tools,and electric vehicles,to the new range of applications,including grid storage solutions.With numerous published papers and broad reviews already available on the subject of Ni-rich oxides,this review focuses more on the most recent progress and new ideas presented in the literature references.The covered topics include doping and composition optimization,advanced coating,concentration gradient and single crystal materials,as well as innovations concerning new electrolytes and their modification,with the application of Ni-rich cathodes in solid-state batteries also discussed.Related cathode materials are briefly mentioned,with the high-entropy approach and zero-strain concept presented as well.A critical overview of the still unresolved issues is given,with perspectives on the further directions of studies and the expected gains provided.
文摘With the increasing spotlight in electric vehicles,there is a growing demand for high-energy-density batteries to enhance driving range.Consequently,several studies have been conducted on high-energy-density LiNi_(x)Co_(y)Mn_(z)O_(2)cathodes.However,there is a limit to permanent performance deterioration because of side reactions caused by moisture in the atmosphere and continuous microcracks during cycling as the Ni content to express high energy increases and the content of Mn and Co that maintain structural and electrochemical stabilization decreases.The direct modification of the surface and bulk regions aims to enhance the capacity and long-term performance of high-Ni cathode materials.Therefore,an efficient modification requires a study based on a thorough understanding of the degradation mechanisms in the surface and bulk region.In this review,a comprehensive analysis of various modifications,including doping,coating,concentration gradient,and single crystals,is conducted to solve degradation issues along with an analysis of the overall degradation mechanism occurring in high-Ni cathode materials.It also summarizes recent research developments related to the following modifications,aims to provide notable points and directions for post-studies,and provides valuable references for the commercialization of stable high-energy-density cathode materials.

文摘The synthesis of layered oxide cathode materials by the traditional high-temperature ceramic method usually requires calcination and annealing at temperatures in the range of 700-1000℃,with high energy consumption and serious cation mixing problems.Herein,we present a novel hydrothermalLi^(+)/H^(+)exchange method for the preparation of layered oxide cathodes at temperatures as low as 200℃.In contrast to the widely reported Li^(+)/Na^(+)exchange method using sodium-containing:precursors,layered oxide cathodes can be directly synthesized by hydrothermal reaction between commercial hydroxide precursors and LiOH·H2O.The reaction pathway consists of two steps.(1)The hydroxyl oxide intermediate is obtained by oxidizing the hydroxide precursor.(2)The layered oxide product is obtained by theLi^(+)/H^(+)exchange reaction of the hydroxyl oxide with Li+in solution.Through studying the time-resolved structural evolution,we reveal that the mechanism of material formation duringLi^(+)/H^(+)ion exchange is in situ crystallization,and the ion exchange process is accompanied by lattice distortion caused by internal diffusion of ions.These findings not only provide valuable insights into theLi^(+)/H^(+)exchange process,but also provide a new paradigm for the lowtemperature synthesis of advanced cathode materials.
