Abstract Nonaqueous carbonate electrolytes are commonly used in commercial lithium‐ion battery (LIB). However, the sluggish Li + diffusivity and high interfacial charge transfer resistance at low temperature (LT) limit their wide adoption among geographical areas with latitudes altitudes. Herein, a rational design of new is demonstrated, which can significantly improve performance below −20 °C. This electrolyte achieved by tailoring chemical structure, i.e., altering fluorination position...
Low-temperature electrolytes (LTEs) have been considered as one of the most challenging aspects for wide adoption lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) since SOA cannot sufficiently support redox reactions at LT resulting in dramatic performance degradation. Although many attempts taken by employing various noncarbonate solvent electrolytes, there was a lack fundamental understanding limiting factors low-temperature operations (e.g., -20 to -40 °C). In this paper, crucial role...
Silicon is seen as one of the most promising anode candidates for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, due to its high theoretical capacity and energy density. However, many technical barriers remain implementation, chemical/electrochemical reactivities with standard electrolytes incomplete passivation from large volume changes. Herein, we report an isosorbide dimethyl ether (IDE) based electrolyte, which exhibits greatly improved stability, evidenced by long cycle life calendar life. An...
Abstract To impart high stretchability to semiconducting polymers, researchers have used a photocrosslinking approach based on the nitrene chemistry of an azide‐incorporated molecular additive.

Silicon is a promising alternative anode material to graphite because of its high gravimetric and volumetric energy densities. However, severe capacity fading observed in Si electrodes, it result mechanical changes Si, such as volume changes, stress or fracture. Furthermore, these behaviors are strongly coupled with the electrochemistry Li–Si alloying reaction Si-based including both thermodynamics kinetics. Therefore, electrochemical properties electrodes dependent on control mechanics...
Crosstalk between the cathode and anode in lithium-ion batteries has a great impact on performance, safety, cycle lifetime. However, no report exists for systematic investigation crosstalk behavior silicon (Si)-based cells as function of transition metal composition cathodes. We studied effect degradation Si-rich anodes full with different cathodes having same crystal structure but compositions, such LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NM111), LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 (NMC532), LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811)....
An enhanced CO 2 electrolysis current density of 2.20 A cm −2 @ 1.5 V at 1123 K is achieved for LSFM electrodes using Fe catalyst rather than Ru, Ni, and Co catalysts.
We report a new triplite-type iron fluoro-sulfate compound, cation-disordered NaFeSO4F that has redox potential of ∼3.7 V versus Na+/Na0 and can have 138 mA·h/g theoretical capacity. This compound shows practical energy density (∼430 W·h/kg) comparable to several Li-ion battery positive electrode materials such as LiMn2O4 (430 W·h/kg). Therefore, triplite is candidate material which meet the requirements for high Na-ion batteries. Furthermore, this study contributes expanding spectrum Na...
Abstract Noble bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) are nowadays essential in various applications, like CO 2 utilization by dry reforming of methane (DRM), due to their unique and potential properties. A synthesis method for Ru based Janus‐structured NPs is presented via surface interactive assembly deposited emerged Ni species from carefully tailored perovskite oxide support. As noble‐metals typically result the alloy, an exclusive formation mechanism introduced utilizing energetically favorable...
Galvanostatic intermittent titration experiments were performed in three-electrode cells to characterize the effect of C/2, 2-C and 4-C charge rates on observed lithium diffusion coefficient. As part data analysis process, we compared classic Weppner-Huggins polarization with a newer (Wang et al.) method for depolarization data. At low values x LixC6, both methods showed same general trend apparent coefficient, > C/2. The two techniques differed magnitude estimated coefficient by about...
