High-energy nickel (Ni)-rich cathode will play a key role in advanced lithium (Li)-ion batteries, but it suffers from moisture sensitivity, side reactions, and gas generation. Single-crystalline Ni-rich has great potential to address the challenges present its polycrystalline counterpart by reducing phase boundaries materials surfaces. However, synthesis of high-performance single-crystalline is very challenging, notwithstanding fundamental linkage between overpotential, microstructure,...
The fundamental role of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer in preventing dendritic Li growth has been investigated solid-state batteries.
The interfacial impedances existing on electrode/solid electrolyte interfaces dictate the transport of Li-ions during electrochemical processes.
The renaissance of Li-S battery technology is evidenced by the intensive R&D efforts in recent years. Although theoretical capacity and energy a theoretically very high, projected usable expected to be no more than twice that state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries, or 500 Wh/kg. "sulfur fever" has certainly gathered new knowledge on sulfur chemistry electrochemistry, electrolytes, lithium metal, their interactions this "new" system; however, real advance toward practical still missing. One main...
High-energy rechargeable lithium metal batteries have been intensively revisited in recent years. Since more researchers started to use pouch cell as the platform study fundamentals at relevant scales, safe testing and handling of high-energy become critical. Cautions safety procedures are needed when cycled cells with pulverized particles inside. From design, electrode preparation, fabrication procedure, this work aims discuss possible root causes that may initiate internal short circuit...
The advent of the Internet Things and smart applications such as cities, health care, electronics will require use a vast array sensors. Sensors are key part revolution in interconnected devices. growing need for sensing, monitoring, collecting data at scales from small to large help, example, prevent future pandemics, elucidate climate change, optimize industrial processes, train machine learning models. Recent progress materials science, micro/nano technologies, integrated circuits has...
LiNi1–x–yMnxCoyO2 (NMC) is an important class of high-energy-density cathode materials. The possibility changing both x and y in the chemical formula provides numerous materials with diverse electrochemical structural properties. It highly desirable to have guidance on correlating NMC properties their composition for material designing screening. Here, using synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction, absorption spectroscopy, characterization, literature survey, content difference between Mn Co...
In vivo electronic monitoring systems for underwater applications are promising technologies obtaining information about aquatic animals. State-of-the-art devices constrained by limits on the number of integrated sensors, large dimensions and weight, short device longevity. Here, we report Lab-on-a-Fish: world's first biotelemetry tag that combines edge computing with wireless sensing in physiology [electrocardiogram (ECG) electromyogram (EMG)], behavior [activity level tail beat frequency...
Pd(OAc)(2) is an efficient catalyst precursor for Negishi coupling in the presence of Bu(4)NBr. Secondary and primary alkylzinc reagents with beta-H arylzinc all reacted aryl iodides at temperatures as low -20 degrees C, giving moderate to good yields. One example between alkynylzinc was tested yield good. Preliminary kinetic studies indicated that process involved PdNPs active catalytic species.
Silicon is a high-capacity material for the anode of rechargeable lithium-ion battery. One fundamental challenges using Si in anodes capacity fading, which has been revealed to be partially associated with interfacial instability between and liquid electrolyte due large volume swing upon charging discharging. Smart nanoscale design concepts, either presynthesized or formed situ, have led mitigation detrimental factors Si. However, it never clear how chemical state evolves contributes fading...
Silicon-dominant anodes are of great interest because their potential to boost the cell-level energy state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries. While silicon materials have been extensively studied, understanding interactions at electrode level has recieved little attention, especially coating process Si particles, which plays an equally important role in unlocking full anodes. Herein, processing a Si-dominated anode (52.8 wt%, 3.5–4.5 mAh cm −2 ) is being investigated understand relationship on...
