Abstract Uncontrolled growth of insulating lithium sulfide leads to passivation sulfur cathodes, which limits high utilization in lithium-sulfur batteries. Sulfur can be augmented electrolytes based on solvents with Gutmann Donor Number; however, violent metal corrosion is a drawback. Here we report that particulate achieved using salt anion donor number, such as bromide or triflate. The use ~95 % by suppressing electrode passivation. More importantly, the high-donor-number anions are...
A series of composite polymer electrolytes containing poly(ethylene glycol)-grafted graphene oxide fillers were prepared for all-solid-state lithium-ion battery applications.
Owing to the natural abundance of sodium resources and their low price, next-generation batteries employing an Na metal anode, such as Na–O2 Na–S systems, have attracted a great deal interest. However, poor reversibility electrode during repeated electrochemical plating stripping is major obstacle realizing rechargeable batteries. It mainly originates from dendrite formation exhaustive electrolyte decomposition due high reactivity metal. Herein, we report free-standing composite protective...
Abstract Minimizing electrolyte use is essential to achieve high practical energy density of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. However, the sulfur cathode more readily passivated under a lean condition, resulting in low utilization. In addition, continuous decomposition on Li metal anode aggravates problem, provoking rapid capacity decay. this work, dual functionalities NO 3 − as high‐donor‐number (DN) salt anion presented, which improves utilization and cycling stability lean‐electrolyte...
Interfacial stability is one of the crucial factors for long-term cyclability lithium (Li) metal batteries (LMBs). While cross-contamination phenomena have been well-studied in Li-ion (LIBs), similar rarely reported LMBs. Here, we investigated cathode failure triggered by chemical crossover from anode In contrast to LIBs, LMBs suffers more significant capacity fading, and its cannot be fully recovered replacing Li anode. In-depth surface characterization reveals severe deterioration related...
Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) based on semi-interpenetrating network (IPN) structure for lithium-ion batteries were prepared by mixing boron-containing cross-linker (BC) composed of ethylene oxide (EO) chains, cross-linkable methacrylate group, and anion-trapping boron moiety with poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) followed ultraviolet light-induced curing process. Various physical electrochemical properties the GPEs systematically investigated varying EO chain length content. Dimensional...
Abstract This work reports a new class of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) cross‐linked with poly(ether‐thiourea) comprising triethylene glycol spacer (LCE‐TUEG) wherein thiourea bonds impart hydrogen bonding capability as well permit dynamic covalent bond (DCB) exchange at elevated temperatures. While enhances the mechanical properties LCE‐TUEG, DCB allows macromolecular network rearrangement LCEs, resulting in various useful that are not present conventional including ability to undergo...
Abstract Cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs) are unique anisotropic rubbers that can change their structural color in response to various stimuli such as heat, chemicals, electric fields, and mechanical stress.
