Effect of Si Content on Extreme Fast Charging Behavior in Silicon–Graphite Composite Anodes

Commercial Li-ion batteries typically incorporate a small amount of high-capacity silicon (Si)-based materials in the composite graphite-based anode to increase the energy density of the battery. However, very little is known about the effects of Si on the fast-charging behavior of composite anodes. Herein, we examine the effects of the Si/graphite ratio in the composite anode on the fast-charging behavior of full cells. We show that addition of Si increases the rate capability from 1C to 8C and improves the capacity retention in early cycles at 6C due to reduced overpotential in constant current charging cycles. The impacts of Si content on fast-charging aging were identified by Post-Test characterization. Despite realizing benefits of available capacity and reduced Li plating at 6C, silicon–electrolyte interactions lead the time-dependent cell performance to fade quickly in the long term. The Post-Test analysis also revealed the thickening of the electrode and nonuniform distribution of electrolyte decomposition products on the Si-containing anodes, as well as the organic-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which are the factors behind cell degradation. Our study sheds insight on the advantages and disadvantages of Si/graphite composite anodes when they are used in fast-charging applications and guides further research in the area by designing an optimized composition of Si incorporated in a mature graphite matrix.

A Comprehensive Experimental Study on Microstructure‐Graded Graphite Anodes for Enhancing Fast‐Charging Capability of Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Lithium‐ion batteries with high gravimetric capacity density and improved cycle life performance under fast‐charging conditions are crucial for widespread electric vehicle (EV) adoption. This study investigates how designing graphite anode microstructure, specifically porosity, and particle‐size gradients, improves lithium‐ion (Li + ) transport during fast‐charging conditions. Three‐layered graphite anodes with varying porosity (24%, 36%, 46%) and particle size gradients (3, 5, 10 μm) were compared to a conventional single‐layered electrode in half‐cell configurations. At room temperature and high discharge rate (2C), both gradient structures showed significantly enhanced capacity retention (80% and 67% vs. 50%) compared to the conventional electrode, highlighting the effectiveness of microstructure engineering for fast charging. The study also investigated the temperature's impact on cycle life. After 200 cycles at 2°C and 45°C, all gradient structures demonstrated superior capacity retention (≈80%) compared to the conventional electrode (35%), suggesting the gradients mitigate degradation rate at high temperatures. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy confirmed superior Li+ diffusion and lower resistivity in gradient electrodes. Simulations explored the influence of gradient profiles on reaction kinetics across the electrode thickness. Overall, this research demonstrates that the fast‐charging capability of graphite electrodes can be greatly enhanced by engineering the electrode microstructure, thereby making EV technology more accessible and appealing.

Assessment of tritium effluent from Prototype Generation IV Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor

We report a tritium transport model for a pool-type sodium cooled fast reactor was developed for estimation of tritium effluents from the Prototype Generation IV Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (PGSFR). For this purpose, the transport model developed for Experimental Breeder Reactor II and Fast Flux Test Facility was updated and validated. The tritium production rate from ternary fission and activations in PGSFR were calculated by the Argonne Reactor Computation (ARC) code suite for fast reactor analysis, and due to the potential uncertainties in source terms and variations of cold trap performance and material permeability during reactor operation, the tritium distributions and tritium effluents were estimated for several bounding cases. The upper bounding gaseous and liquid tritium release rates from PGSFR are similar to ~440.7 Ci/year and 14.7 Ci/year, respectively. The gaseous tritium effluent is about few orders of magnitude smaller than the regulatory constraint of the tritium concentration in the air. The peak tritium concentration in the steam-generator feedwater is similar to ~1.1x10 -3 mu Ci/g, which is required to be diluted prior to releasing as tritiated water. The accumulated tritium in the cold trap after five cycle operations is ~ 52,000 Ci. Because of significant conservatism in these upper bounding estimations, it is expected that the tritium effluent at the nominal case with plausible source terms would be about 2 orders of magnitude smaller than that of the upper bounding case.

Detailed biomass fast pyrolysis kinetics integrated to computational fluid dynamic (CFD) and discrete element modeling framework: Predicting product yields at the bench-scale

Fast pyrolysis is an intricate process due to the variability and anisotropy of lignocellulosic biomass and the complicated chemistry and physics during conversion in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor (BFBR). The complexity of biomass fast pyrolysis lends itself well to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element (DEM) analysis, which promises to reduce experimental time and its associated cost. This work investigated switchgrass fast pyrolysis simulated by computational fluid dynamics coupled with a discrete element method to track individual reacting biomass particles throughout a bench-scale BFBR reactor. We accounted for the fast pyrolysis chemistry through a comprehensive reaction scheme with secondary cracking reactions. We performed a three-step reduction for secondary cracking reactions to convert the full cracking scheme into a reduced scheme easily incorporated into our model. We assessed the impact of operational conditions on the steady-state yields of liquid bio-oil, non-condensable gases (NCG), at 550 °C over a range of fluidization numbers (2 – 6 Umf), reported as a ratio to the minimum fluidization velocity (Umf). At steady-state, the volatile bio-oil yield had a range of 49.3–50.4 wt%. Levoglucosan was the primary volatile component present with 21 wt% of the bio-oil while water was the second largest with 20 wt%. The reduction of the secondary reaction schemes did not appreciably affect the overall yields of switchgrass pyrolysis compared to the full secondary scheme.

Fast meta-solvers for 3D complex-shape scatterers using neural operators trained on a non-scattering problem

Three-dimensional target identification using scattering techniques requires high accuracy solutions and very fast computations for real-time predictions in some critical applications. We first train a deep neural operator (DeepONet) to solve wave propagation problems described by the Helmholtz equation in a domain without scatterers but at different wavenumbers and with a complex absorbing boundary condition. We then design two classes of fast meta-solvers by combining DeepONet with either relaxation methods, such as Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel, or with Krylov methods, such as GMRES and BiCGStab, using the trunk basis of DeepONet as a coarse-scale preconditioner. We leverage the spectral bias of neural networks to account for the lower part of the spectrum in the error distribution while the upper part is handled inexpensively using relaxation methods or fine-scale preconditioners. The meta-solvers are then applied to solve scattering problems with different shape of scatterers, at no extra training cost. We first demonstrate that the resulting meta-solvers are shape-agnostic, fast, and robust, whereas the standard standalone solvers may even fail to converge without the DeepONet. We then apply both classes of meta-solvers to scattering from a submarine, a complex three-dimensional problem. We achieve very fast solutions, especially with the DeepONet-Krylov methods, which require orders of magnitude fewer iterations than any of the standalone solvers.

Lithium plating induced degradation during fast charging of batteries subjected to compressive loading

Here we report the lithium plating associated capacity loss during fast charging of compressively loaded lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The charging and discharging of LIB under compressive loading during service may affect the cell performance or initiate localized defects in the electrodes. Pouch cells of capacity 20 mAh were compressively loaded to nominal pressures of 0–440 kPa and subjected to 10 cycles of fast charging at 1 C and 4 C. Experimental results show that cells charged at 4 C-rate experienced significant capacity fade, and applying compressive loads exacerbated the capacity loss. The coulombic efficiency study shows that active lithium loss was higher for the initial cycles before gradually reducing to a minimal capacity loss for the tenth charging cycle. The cell voltage relaxation immediately after charging was monitored to identify the stripping of plated lithium after fast charging cycles and showed that the duration of lithium stripping was higher for cells under mechanical compressive loading. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) characterization of the anode showed significantly higher lithium deposits on the anodes charged at a 4 C rate under compressive loads. These results indicate that applied mechanical compression causes increased lithium plating during fast charging of batteries.

Unravelling fast-charging degradation in NMC/Gr pouch cells: Lithium plating and SEI properties

As fast-charging technology expands across the electric vehicle and emerging energy-storage applications, understanding its impact on battery performance and longevity is critical. In this study, 1.8 Ah LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 O 2 /graphite pouch cells were charged at various charging rates (0.5C, 2C, 4C, and 6C) to investigate the degradation mechanisms. Our results showed that well-designed NMC/Gr pouch cells could reach over 1000 cycles with a 2C charging rate, while only reaching around 500 cycles with 4C and 6C charging rates. Fast-charging effects on NMC and graphite electrodes were obtained through a series of post-mortem characterizations, including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Although higher charging rates cause pulverization of NMC secondary particles, the dominant degradation mechanism driving the fading of fast-charging-related performance lies in the graphite anode, where lithium plating and LiF-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation result in Li inventory loss and impedance growth. The postmortem results suggest that the formation of a LiF-rich SEI, which exacerbates anode impedance and some irreversible Li + ion loss, is likely driven by the substantial decomposition of PF 6 − during fast charging, an effect often overlooked in smaller laboratory-scale studies.

Commissioning a time-gated camera for fast neutron beamline spatial-energy characterization at LANSCE-WNR spallation source

An energy-resolved fast neutron beam imaging diagnostic has been successfully commissioned at the Weapons Neutron Research (WNR) spallation source within the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) facility. This diagnostic replaces the existing analog phosphor image plates, which integrate across all neutron energies, as well as other particles, with a near-real-time energy-sensitive imaging capability. The system uses a fast plastic scintillator coupled with an intensified CCD camera. Specifically, the Teledyne Pi-MAX4 camera is coupled with either a 4 mm thick Eljen (EJ) 204 or 228 plastic scintillator. These scintillators are most sensitive to the fast neutrons (0.8-800 MeV) directly from the spallation source rather than low energy background radiation. Experimentally, these plastic scintillators were shown to have sufficiently fast decay to differentiate the bright gamma flash from the spallation neutrons. The spatial resolution is dominated by neutron beam divergence, with minimal additional contributions from scatter and light divergence. The system successfully resolved changes in neutron beam characteristics caused by intentional proton steering variations. Additionally, simulations of scintillator light yield as a function of thickness conducted using PHITS (with Scinful-QMD package) found that increasing scintillator thickness from 4 mm to 6 or 8 mm could potentially increase brightness ~ 3x. This may be explored if there is a need to reduce image acquisition time from several minutes to under one minute.

Crystal growth, scintillation properties & fast neutron-gamma discrimination of cubic halide perovskite CsCaCl 3 :(Eu 2+ , Tl + )

The vast variety of nuclear security applications require radiation detection materials tailored to their operational needs. A scintillator’s properties are strongly influenced by the choice of luminescent dopant, which facilitates customization to different applications. In this work, transparent Ø12 mm single crystals of undoped CsCaCl 3 , CsCaCl 3 :1% Eu, CsCaCl 3 :1% Tl, and CsCaCl 3 :1% Eu, 1% Tl were grown via the Vertical Bridgman method. Their scintillation properties and fast neutron-gamma discrimination capabilities were investigated. Undoped CsCaCl 3 had a light yield of 2,500 ph/MeV, which is the highest reported to date for this CVL material. The incorporation of Eu 2+ or Tl + into CsCaCl 3 as luminescence centers resulted in significantly higher light yields of ∼16,000 ph/MeV and energy resolutions of ∼8% at 662 keV. Compared to the single dopant counterparts, CsCaCl 3 :Eu, Tl had significantly suppressed afterglow; however, this came at the cost of reduced light yield. Among the materials tested, only CsCaCl 3 :Tl showed effective fast neutron and gamma discrimination capabilities, achieving a Figure of Merit of 3.2 between gamma-rays and fast neutron captures that produce protons and 1.6 between gamma-rays and fast neutron captures that produce alpha particles.

Applying U.S. metal fuel experience to new fuel designs for fast reactors

With the increasing interest in small modular reactors or microreactors, developers are working to design and submit licensing approval requests of U–10Zr-fueled fast reactors. The developers and their proponents cite prior metal fuel experience (worldwide, but U.S. experience in particular for many developers) as the motivation and justification for their reactor concepts. The experience with metal fuel deployment in sodium-cooled fast reactors as well as the underlying irradiation testing database, provide a suitable basis for analytically justifying the use of metal fuel in new reactors. The evolution of metal fuel design and capability illustrates the importance of key fuel design parameters to consider in new applications of the prior experience: fuel smeared density, plenum-to-fuel volume ratio, the ratio of cladding radius to thickness, fuel composition, and cladding and duct materials. In-service operating and deployment conditions to be considered include fuel linear heat generation rate, fuel temperature, cladding temperature, peak burnup and peak fast fluence. Fuel designs and in-service conditions that are bounded by the database and experience are most easily addressed, but deviations from those previous parameters and conditions can be addressed by considering impacts on previously established behavior and applying other mitigating conservatisms, as appropriate. Here, the authors recommend any new deployment proceed with fuel surveillance and monitoring to mitigate risk, application of conservative measures to address uncertainties, and a fuel qualification program that addresses a range of in-service operating conditions with production fuel. The work reported should be of interest to students and regulators unfamiliar with metal fuel in fast reactors.

Role of Fast Dynamics in Conductivity of Polymerized Ionic Liquids

Polymerized ionic liquids (PolyILs) are promising candidates for a broad range of technologies. However, the relatively low conductivity of PolyILs at room temperature has strongly limited their applications. In this work, we provide new insights into the roles of various microscopic parameters controlling ion transport in these polymers, which are crucial for their rational design and practical applications. Using broadband dielectric spectroscopy and neutron and light scattering techniques, we found a clear connection between the activation energy for conductivity, fast dynamics, and high-frequency shear modulus in PolyILs at their glass transition temperature (T g ). In particular, our analysis reveals a correlation between conductivity and the amplitude of fast picosecond fluctuations at T g , suggesting the possible involvement of fast dynamics in lowering the energy barrier for ion conductivity. We also demonstrate that both the activation energy for ion transport and the amplitude of the fast fluctuations depend on the high-frequency shear moduli of PolyILs, thus identifying a practically important parameter for tuning conductivity. Finally, the parameters recognized in this work and their connection to the ionic conductivity of PolyILs set the stage for a deeper understanding of the mechanism of ion transport in PolyILs in the glassy state.

Fast Advective Water Flow through Nanochannels in Clay Interlayers: Implications for Moisture Transport in Soils and Unconventional Oil/Gas Production

Water flow in nanometer or sub-nanometer hydrophilic channels bears special importance in diverse fields of science and engineering. However, the nature of such water flow remains elusive. In this work, we report our molecular-modeling results on water flow in a sub-nanometer clay interlayer between two montmorillonite layers. We show that a fast advective flow can be induced by evaporation at one end of the interlayer channel, that is, a large suction pressure created by evaporation (~818 MPa) is able to drive the fast water flow through the channel (~0.88 m/s for a 46 Å-long channel). Scaled up for the pressure gradient to a 2 μm particle, the velocity of water is estimated to be about 95 μm/s, indicating that water can quickly flow through a μm-sized clay particle within seconds. The prediction seems to be confirmed by our thermogravimetric analysis of bentonite hydration and dehydration processes, which indicates that water transport at the early stage of the dehydration is a fast advective process, followed by a slow diffusion process. The possible occurrence of a fast advective water flow in clay interlayers prompts us to reassess water transport in a broad set of natural and engineered systems such as clay swelling/shrinking, moisture transport in soils, water uptake by plants, water imbibition/release in unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs, and cap rock integrity of supercritical CO 2 storage.

Detection Limits and Near‐Field Ground Motions of Fast and Slow Earthquakes

Abstract We investigate theoretical limits to detection of fast and slow seismic events, and spatial variations of ground motion expected from M 6 earthquakes at short epicentral distances. The analyses are based on synthetic velocity seismograms calculated with the discrete wavenumber method assuming seismic velocities and attenuation properties of the crust in Southern California. The examined source properties include different magnitudes ( M −1.0 to M 6.0), static stress drops (0.1–10 MPa), and slow and fast ruptures (0.1–0.9 of shear wave velocity). For the M 6 events we also consider variations in rise times producing crack‐ and pulse‐type events and different rupture directivities. Slow events produce ground motion with considerably lower amplitude than corresponding regular fast earthquakes with the same magnitude, and hence are significantly more difficult to detect. The static stress drop and slip rise time also affect the maximum radiated seismic motion, and hence event detectability. Apart from geometrical factors, the saturation and depletion of seismic ground motion at short epicentral distances stem from radiation pattern, earthquake size (magnitude, stress drop), and rupture directivity. The rupture velocity, rise time, and directivity affect significantly the spatial pattern of the ground motions. The results can help optimizing detection of slow and fast small earthquakes and understand the spatial distribution of ground motion generated by large events.

Foreshock properties illuminate nucleation processes of slow and fast laboratory earthquakes

Understanding the connection between seismic activity and the earthquake nucleation process is a fundamental goal in earthquake seismology with important implications for earthquake early warning systems and forecasting. We use high-resolution acoustic emission (AE) waveform measurements from laboratory stick-slip experiments that span a spectrum of slow to fast slip rates to probe spatiotemporal properties of laboratory foreshocks and nucleation processes. We measure waveform similarity and pairwise differential travel-times (DTT) between AEs throughout the seismic cycle. AEs broadcasted prior to slow labquakes have small DTT and high waveform similarity relative to fast labquakes. We show that during slow stick-slip, the fault never fully locks, and waveform similarity and pairwise differential travel times do not evolve throughout the seismic cycle. In contrast, fast laboratory earthquakes are preceded by a rapid increase in waveform similarity late in the seismic cycle and a reduction in differential travel times, indicating that AEs begin to coalesce as the fault slip velocity increases leading up to failure. These observations point to key differences in the nucleation process of slow and fast labquakes and suggest that the spatiotemporal evolution of laboratory foreshocks is linked to fault slip velocity.

Multimodal quantification of degradation pathways during extreme fast charging of lithium-ion batteries

Enabling fast charging of Li-ion batteries will be a key step towards realizing the technology's full potential in electric vehicles. Currently, fast charging is limited by a variety of processes that reduce cell capacity upon extended cycling. Using a multimodal approach combining incremental capacity analysis (dQ/dV), high energy X-ray diffraction (HEXRD), and mass spectrometry titration (MST), we identify specific degradation mechanisms—including Li plating, dead Li x C 6 formation, Li 2 C 2 formation, solid carbonate solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) deposition, and loss of positive electrode active material (LAM PE )—that occur during extended fast charge cycling. We find that Li plating is the major source of capacity loss in cells cycled at 6C, while non-carbonate SEI species deposition on the graphite anode is the main source of capacity loss when cycled at 4C. We also study local degradative phenomena by examining specific ~1–5 cm 2 regions of the cells using HEXRD and MST. Here, we find that plated Li is often collocated with dead Li x C 6 , Li 2 C 2 , and solid carbonate SEI species, and these additional species cumulatively account for ~20% of the capacity lost during 6C cycling. Finally, in a cell with an anomalously high amount of LAM PE (quantified via dQ/dV), we find that regions of cathode degradation were accompanied by non-carbonate SEI products on the adjacent region of the anode. We postulate that this phenomenon arises due to crosstalk between the electrodes, wherein soluble electrolyte oxidation products formed at the delithiated cathode migrate to the graphite anode and are ultimately deposited on the graphite surface. This work demonstrates the utility of combining multiple characterization techniques to reveal a more holistic understanding of degradative phenomena that occur across multiple length scales during fast charge.

Interplay of intercalation dynamics and lithium plating in monolithic and architectured graphite anodes during fast charging

Fast charging of high-capacity anodes is challenging due to lithium plating reactions, which lead to poor cycling performance and safety concerns. Thus, accurate predictions of plating onset and an understanding of this electrochemical process are crucial for robust battery design. However, the most commonly used models, based on porous electrode theory (e.g., the pseudo-2D model), are notoriously difficult to calibrate due to their complexity, limiting their predictive power. This work studies the process of lithium plating during fast charging of (small-particle) graphite half-cells by measuring local reaction progression and plating behavior using optical operando techniques. These experiments employ a realistic 1D graphite electrode geometry with commercially-relevant mass loading charged at fast charge rates. It is demonstrated that the local reaction progression and plating onset can not only be predicted accurately with a p2D numerical model, but that these processes follow a simple scaling law. Remarkably, the entire reaction histories of different electrodes charged at different rates (e.g., 160 μm thickness at 0.5C, 111 μm at 1C or 66 μm at 4C) were observed to have self-similar intercalation profiles. It is demonstrated that plating onset is in turn governed by the reaction profile which explains why both processes exhibit the same scaling behavior. Finally, operando measurements of local reaction dynamics are conducted for the first time in electrodes with channeled architectures, quantitatively determining how channels affect reaction uniformity and plating onset. Together, these results reveal underlying simplicity in the complex electrochemical environment of fast charging and lithium plating, improving understanding of this process. These fundamental insights are broadly applicable for design processes, modeling and experimental evaluation of lithium ion batteries.
