Earth-abundant Na<sub>0.67</sub>[Mn<sub>1−x</sub>Mg<sub>x</sub>]O<sub>2</sub> (0 ≤ <italic>x</italic> 0.2) cathode materials with the P2 structure have been synthesized as positive electrodes for sodium-ion batteries.
All-solid-state batteries including a garnet ceramic as electrolyte are potential candidates to replace the currently used Li-ion technology, they offer safer operation and higher energy storage performances. However, development of faces several challenges at electrode/electrolyte interfaces, which need withstand high current densities enable competing C-rates. In this work, we investigate limits anode/electrolyte interface in full cell that includes Li-metal anode, LiFePO4 cathode,...
Mg substitution of a (sustainable) sodium-ion battery positive electrode material results in faster Na-ion motion and fewer structural changes on cycling.
Magnesium substituted P2-structure Na0.67Ni0.3Mn0.7O2 materials have been prepared by a facile solid-state method and investigated as cathodes in sodium-ion batteries. The Mg-doped described here were characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (SS-NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). electrochemical performance of the samples was tested half cells vs Na metal at room temperature. operate high average voltage ca. 3.3 V Na/Na+ delivering specific capacities...

Developing scalable energy storage systems with high and power densities is essential to meeting the ever-growing portable electronics electric vehicle markets, which calls for development of thick electrode designs improve active material loading greatly enhance overall density. However, rate capabilities in lithium-ion batteries usually fall off rapidly increasing thickness due hindered ionic transport kinetics, especially issue conversion-based electroactive materials. To alleviate...
Sodium-ion batteries are considered as a favorable alternative to the widely used lithium-ion for applications such grid-scale energy storage. However, meet density and reliability that is necessary, electrodes structurally stable well characterized during electrochemical cycling need be developed.

A very simple approach for the preparation of flexible free-standing Sn-based graphene composites and their use as binder-free anodes lithium ion batteries is reported.
Here we report on technology developments implemented into the Graphene Flagship European project for integration of graphene and graphene-related materials (GRMs) energy application devices. Many technologies investigated so far aim at producing composite associating or GRMs with either metal semiconducting nanocrystals other carbon nanostructures (e.g., CNT, graphite). These composites can be used favourably as hydrogen storage solar cell absorbers. They also provide better performing...
