Abstract The recent proliferation of renewable energy generation offers mankind hope, with regard to combatting global climate change. However, reaping the full benefits these sources requires ability store and distribute any generated in a cost‐effective, safe, sustainable manner. As such, sodium‐ion batteries (NIBs) have been touted as an attractive storage technology due their elemental abundance, promising electrochemical performance environmentally benign nature. Moreover, new...
Breakthroughs in performance of Li/Cu with Ni-rich cathodes can be achieved <italic>via</italic> manipulation anion interfacial chemistry, as uncovered by experiment/modeling.
Enabling long cyclability of high-voltage oxide cathodes is a persistent challenge for all-solid-state batteries, largely because their poor interfacial stabilities against sulfide solid electrolytes. While protective coating layers such as LiNbO3 (LNO) have been proposed, its precise working mechanisms are still not fully understood. Existing literature attributes reductions in impedance growth to the coating's ability prevent reactions. However, true nature more complex, with cathode...
