Molybdenum (Mo)-based compounds with properly engineered nanostructures usually possess improved reversible lithium storage capabilities, which offer great promise to boost the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Nevertheless, a lack efficient and high-yield methods for constructing rational has largely restricted application these potentially important materials. Herein we demonstrate metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) mediated strategy successfully synthesize series one-dimensional...
Revealing how formation protocols influence the properties of solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) on Si electrodes is key to developing next generation Li-ion batteries. SEI understanding is, however, limited by low-throughput nature conventional characterisation techniques. Herein, correlative scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) and shell-isolated nanoparticles for enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS) are used combinatorial screening under a broad experimental space (20 sets...
Anatase TiO2 is a promising material for Li-ion (Li+ ) batteries with fast charging capability. However, Li+ (de)intercalation dynamics in remain elusive and reported diffusivities span many orders of magnitude. Here, we develop smart protocol scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) situ optical (OM) to enable the high-throughput charge/discharge analysis single nanoparticle clusters. Directly probing active nanoparticles revealed that size ≈50 nm can store over 30 % theoretical...
Correlative co-located electrochemical multi-microscopy is transforming our understanding of property-function relationships in electrode materials. By coupling scanning cell microscopy (SECCM) with complementary characterization techniques applied to identical locations a surface, we can now unravel the intricate interplay between various physicochemical properties materials and interfaces their impact on phenomena, high spatial resolution. This review explores recent advances this...
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) attract more attention because of sodium's abundant availability, affordable price, and potential to be an effective anode material. Meanwhile, carbon-based materials provide the most promising materials. Because large radius sodium ions, SIBs do not exhibit favorable electrochemical performance. Introducing heteroatoms into carbon-lattice is strategy enlarge interlayer space which can improve carbon's In addition, with a surface-induced capacitive process enhance...
Understanding the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation and (de)lithiation phenomena at silicon (Si) electrodes is key to improving performance lifetime of Si-based lithium-ion batteries. However, these processes remain somewhat elusive, and, in particular, role Si surface termination merits further consideration. Here, scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) used a glovebox, followed by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) identical locations study local behavior...
The development of Li metal batteries requires a detailed understanding complex nucleation and growth processes during electrodeposition.
Thin-film electrodes, produced by coating a conductive support with thin layer (nanometer to micrometer) of active material, retain the unique properties nanomaterials (e.g., activity, surface area, conductivity, etc.) while being economically scalable, making them highly desirable as electrocatalysts. Despite ever-increasing methods thin-film deposition wet chemical synthesis, electrodeposition, vapor deposition, etc.), there is insufficient understanding on nanoscale electrochemical...
Abstract Silicon is a promising negative electrode material for high‐energy‐density Li‐ion batteries (LiBs) but suffers from significant degradation due to the mechanical stress induced by lithiation. Volume expansion and lithiation in Si are strongly anisotropic associated early interfacial transformations linked these phenomena their implications performance remain poorly understood. Here we develop novel correlative electrochemical multi‐microscopy approach study local at stages three...
Thermochemical redox catalysis is critical to a wide array of key chemical transformations and known be sensitive catalyst surface structure. Yet there exist limited operando tools for quantitatively imaging heterogeneities in catalytic rate across surface. Since many thermochemical reactions can proceed via the coupling electrochemical half-reactions, microscopies can, principle, used image catalysis. Herein, we develop methodology variations using microscopy. Using Pt-catalyzed aerobic...
