Water-Activated VOPO 4 for Magnesium Ion Batteries

Rechargeable Mg batteries, using high capacity and dendrite-free Mg metal anodes, are promising energy storage devices for large scale smart grid due to low cost and high safety. However, the performance of Mg batteries is still plagued by the slow reaction kinetics of their cathode materials. Recent discoveries demonstrate that water in cathode can significantly enhance the Mg-ion diffusion in cathode by an unknown mechanism. Here, we propose the water-activated layered-structure VOPO 4 as a novel cathode material and examine the impact of water in electrode or organic electrolyte on the thermodynamics and kinetics of Mg-ion intercalation/deintercalation in cathodes. Electrochemical measurements verify that water in both VOPO 4 lattice and organic electrolyte can largely activate VOPO 4 cathode. Thermodynamic analysis demonstrates that the water in the electrolyte will equilibrate with the structural water in VOPO 4 lattice, and the water activity in the electrolyte alerts the mechanism and kinetics for electrochemical Mg-ion intercalation in VOPO 4 . Theoretical calculations and experimental results demonstrate that water reduces both the solid-state diffusion barrier in the VOPO 4 electrode and the desolvation penalty at the interface. To achieve fast reaction kinetics, the water activity in the electrolyte should be larger than 10 –2 . The proposed activation mechanism provides guidance for screening and designing novel chemistry for high performance multivalent-ion batteries.

Structure and Interface Design Enable Stable Li-Rich Cathode

Li-rich layered-oxide cathodes have the highest theoretical energy density among all the intercalated cathodes, which have attracted intense interests for high energy Li-ion batteries. However, O3-structured layered-oxide cathodes suffer from a low initial Coulombic efficiency (CE), severe voltage fade, and poor cycling stability because of the continuous oxygen release, structural rearrangements due to irreversible transition-metal migration, and serious side reactions between the delithiated cathode and electrolyte. In this work, we report that these challenges are migrated by using a stable O2-structured Li 1.2 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 Mn 0.54 O 2 (O2-LR-NCM) and all-fluorinated electrolyte. The O2-LR-NCM can restrict the transition metals migrating into the Li layer and the in situ formed fluorinated cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) on the surface of the O2-LR-NCM from the decomposition of all-fluorinated electrolyte during initial cycles effectively restrains the structure transition, suppresses the O2 release, and thereby safeguards the transition metal redox couples, enabling a highly reversible and stable oxygen redox reaction. O2-LR-NCM in all fluorinated electrolytes achieves a high initial CE of 99.82 % and cycling CE of and cycling CE of >99.9%, high reversible capacity of 278 mAh/g, and high capacity retention of 83.3% after 100 cycles. The synergic design of electrolyte and cathode structure represents a promising direction to stabilize high-energy cathodes.

Reversible (De)Intercalation of Hydrated Zn 2+ in Mg 2+ -Stabilized V 2 O 5 Nanobelts with High Areal Capacity

The rechargeable aqueous zinc ion battery (ZIB) is regarded as one of the most promising candidates for large-scale energy storage applications due to its low-cost and eco-friendly properties. However, the development of a suitable cathode operating with high areal capacity and uncovering the relevant reaction mechanisms remain challenging. Herein, the application of Mg 0.26 V 2 O 5 ∙0.73H 2 O (MVO) nanobelts as a ZIB cathode is demonstrated. In situ FT-IR reveals the shift of OH stretching from 3350 cm -1 to 3200 cm -1 , corresponding to the hydration shell of Zn 2+ , while in situ Raman suggests the interlayer charges creening effect, which would boost the intercalation of hydrated Zn 2+ . Density function theory reveals that the hydrated Zn 2+ can lower the Coulombic repulsion at the electrode-electrolyte interface and circumvents the desolvation penalty of hydrated Zn 2+ during the (de)intercalation process. Additionally, excellent structure stability and large interlayer spacing guarantee the highly reversible (de)intercalation of hydrated Zn 2+ . Therefore, the MVO nanobelts exhibit a high areal capacity of 2.12 mAh cm -2 at 0.05 A g -1 , outstanding cycling stability of 2500 cycles at 10 A g -1 with a mass loading of 5 mg cm -2 . Finally, it is believed that the use of hydrated intercalation charge carriers will boost further studies in other multivalent rechargeable batteries.

Ab initio investigation of the stability of electrolyte/electrode interfaces in all-solid-state Na batteries

All-solid-state batteries show great potential for achieving high energy density with less safety problems; however, (electro)chemical issues at the solid electrolyte/electrode interface may severely limit their performance. In this work, the electrochemical stability and chemical reactivity of a wide range of potential Na solid-state electrolyte chemistries were investigated using density functional theory calculations. In general, lower voltage limits are predicted for both the reduction and oxidation of Na compounds compared with those of their Li counterparts. The lower reduction limits for the Na compounds indicate their enhanced cathodic stability as well as the possibility of stable sodium metal cycling against a number of oxides and borohydrides. With increasing Na content (or chemical potential), improved cathodic stability but also reduced anodic stability are observed. An increase in the oxidation voltage is shown for Na polyanion systems, including borohydrides, NaSICON-type oxides, and aluminates, due to the covalent stabilization of the anions. In addition, the oxides exhibit remarkable chemical stability when in contact with various cathode materials (layered transition metal oxides and fluorophosphates), whereas the chalcogenides predictably display narrow electrochemical windows and high chemical reactivity. Our findings indicate some promising candidates for solid-state conductors and/or protective coating materials to enable the operation of high-energy-density all-solid-state Na batteries.

Transparent Conducting Oxides as Cathodes in Li-O2 Batteries: A First Principles Computational Investigation

Li-O2 batteries have traditionally used carbon based electrodes (graphite, buckypaper) as the cathode of choice due toits good electrical conductivity, stability against non-aqueous electrolytes like dimethoxyethane (DME) and ease ofhandling. But, the carbon cathode also leads to formation of carbonate by-products that increase overpotentials duringcharging leading to degradation of the cathode and reduction of cyclability. Recent investigations have focused on using metal-oxides like SnO2, TiO2 as viable cathodes-alternatives in Li-O2 systems. In this paper, we investigate transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) as cathodes with focus on the interface between the TCO surfaces and the discharge product, Li2O2, in the Li-O2 battery using first principles computations.

Non‐Linear Kinetics of The Lithium Metal Anode on Li 6 PS 5 Cl at High Current Density: Dendrite Growth and the Role of Lithium Microstructure on Creep

Abstract Interfacial instability, viz., pore formation in the lithium metal anode (LMA) during discharge leading to high impedance, current focusing induced solid–electrolyte (SE) fracture during charging, and formation/behaviour of the solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI), at the anode, is one of the major hurdles in the development of solid‐state batteries (SSBs). Also, understanding cell polarization behaviour at high current density is critical to achieving the goal of fast‐charging battery and electric vehicle. Herein, via in situ electrochemical scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements, performed with freshly deposited lithium microelectrodes on transgranularly fractured fresh Li6PS5Cl (LPSCl), the LiǀLPSCl interface kinetics are investigated beyond the linear regime. Even at relatively small overvoltages of a few mV, the LiǀLPSCl interface shows non‐linear kinetics. The interface kinetics possibly involve multiple rate‐limiting processes, i.e., ion transport across the SEI and SE|SEI interfaces, as well as charge transfer across the LiǀSEI interface. The total polarization resistance R P of the microelectrode interface is determined to be ≈ 0.8 Ω cm 2 . It is further shown that the nanocrystalline lithium microstructure can lead to a stable LiǀSE interface via Coble creep along with uniform stripping. Also, spatially resolved lithium deposition, i.e., at grain surface flaws, grain boundaries, and flaw‐free surfaces, indicates exceptionally high mechanical endurance of flaw‐free surfaces toward cathodic load (>150 mA cm −2 ). This highlights the prominent role of surface defects in dendrite growth.

Enhancing Cycle Life in Superoxide‐Based Na–O 2 Batteries by Reducing Interface Reactivity

Abstract Sodium–oxygen (Na–O 2 ) batteries are considered a promising energy storage alternative to current state‐of‐the‐art technologies owing to their high theoretical energy density, along with the natural abundance and low price of Na metal. The chemistry of these batteries depends on sodium superoxide (NaO 2 ) or peroxide (Na 2 O 2 ) being formed/decomposed. Most Na–O 2 batteries form NaO 2 , but reversibility is usually quite limited due to side reactions at interfaces. By using new materials, including a highly active catalyst based on vanadium phosphide (VP) nanoparticles, an ether/ionic liquid‐based electrolyte, and an effective sodium bromide (NaBr) anode protection layer, the sources of interface reactivity can be reduced to achieve a Na–O 2 battery cell that is rechargeable for 1070 cycles with a high energy efficiency of more than 83%. Density functional theory calculations, along with experimental characterization confirm the three factors leading to the long cycle life, including the effectiveness of the NaBr protective layer on the anode, a tetraglyme/EMIM‐BF 4 based electrolyte that prevents oxidation of the VP cathode catalyst surface, and the EMIM‐BF 4 ionic liquid aiding in avoiding electrolyte decomposition on NaO 2 .

Polymer-ceramic composite electrolytes for all-solid-state lithium batteries: Ionic conductivity and chemical interaction enhanced by oxygen vacancy in ceramic nanofibers

Perovskite Li 3x La 2/3-x TiO3 (LLTO) nanofibers have been heat-treated in the hydrogen-containing atmosphere and then incorporated with the poly(vinylidene fluoride)-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) polymer to form a composite electrolyte. Hydrogen treatment has created oxygen vacancies in the LLTO nanofibers, which has reduced the activation energy of Li ion transport along intra-grains and inter-grains, leading to improvement in the ion conductivity of LLTO nanofibers. Hydrogen treatment of the LLTO nanofibers has also enhanced the chemical interaction between the LLTO nanofibers and the polymer matrix in the composite electrolyte, and favored the Li ion transport at the nanofiber/polymer interface, improving the ion conductivity of the composite electrolyte to 3.4×10- 4 S/cm at room temperature. As a result, the Li|composite-electrolyte|Li half-cell exhibits good stability during lithium plating/stripping cycling at room temperature, showing an overpotential of ~91 mV at a constant current density of 0.5 mA/cm 2 . Finally, the full-cell battery with the composite electrolyte, lithium metal anode and lithium iron phosphate cathode shows excellent rate capacity and cycling performance.

Manipulation of an ionic and electronic conductive interface for highly-stable high-voltage cathodes

A stable and conductive interface is one of the decisive factors in manipulating the performance of high voltage LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 (LNMO) cathode for Li-ion batteries. Herein, a hybrid Li 3 PO 4 -TiO 2 coating layer is designed as an interfacial material via controllable atomic layer deposition (ALD) on LNMO. The coating acts not just as a physical barrier to prevent the side-reactions between cathode and electrolyte at high voltage, more importantly, the hybrid coating material improves both interfacial ionic and electronic conductivities to build facile Li-ion and electron diffusion pathways for LNMO. The optimized LNMO demonstrates improved rate capability and long-life stability. The capacity retention is 81.2% comparing with 47.4% of bare LNMO at 0.5C after 300 cycles. Detailed surface structural evolution is studied via X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, this work provides new insights of hybrid interfacial design via ALD and promotes novel electrode architectures for batteries.

Pressure Heterogeneity and Material Utilization in Thin-Film Solid-State Cathodes

Intimate interfacial contact between the solid electrolyte and the cathode active material is critical for maximizing cathode utilization in solid-state batteries. However, volume changes during electrochemical cycling induce internal stresses that drive interfacial degradation, particularly under nonuniform stack pressure. In this study, we employ in situ energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction tomography to visualize and quantify reaction heterogeneities across a 3 mm-diameter solid-state cathode with a well-defined interface. Our results reveal that regions under a lower stack pressure exhibit reduced material utilization and reversibility, which negatively affect the high-pressure regions. Interfacial degradation further impedes lithium-ion transport and amplifies microscale reaction heterogeneity. These findings highlight the critical role of stack pressure distribution in governing interfacial stability and electrochemical performance, offering important design insights into practical solid-state battery systems.

Decoupling Failure Pathways in Li-O 2 Cells Operated Under Lean Electrolyte Conditions

The operation of lithium-oxygen (Li-O 2 ) batteries under lean electrolyte conditions offers higher energy density but leads to rapid degradation and short cycle life. Although cathode passivation and electrolyte decomposition occur in all regimes, we show that under lean electrolyte conditions, failure is primarily driven by progressive electrolyte consumption at the lithium/solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), rather than by irreversible cathode passivation. Poor wetting of the lithium surface results in heterogeneous SEI growth and high local current densities, which accelerate electrolyte loss and cell failure. Strategies aimed at improving interfacial stability, including optimized wetting and SEI forming additives, significantly extend cycle life without compromising energy density. Our results establish anode-electrolyte interactions as the dominant degradation mechanism under lean electrolyte conditions, and emphasize the need to engineer a stable Li/SEI interface for long-lasting Li-O 2 batteries.

Effect of Reverse Bias Stress on Leakage Currents and Breakdown Voltages of Solid Tantalum Capacitors

The majority of solid tantalum capacitors are produced by high-temperature sintering of a fine tantalum powder around a tantalum wire followed by electrolytic anodization that forms a thin amorphous Ta2O5 dielectric layer and pyrolysis of manganese nitrite on the oxide to create a conductive manganese dioxide electrode. A contact to tantalum wire is used as anode terminal and to the manganese layer as a cathode terminal of the device. This process results in formation of an asymmetric Ta -- Ta2O5 -- MnO2 capacitor that has different characteristics at forward (positive bias applied to tantalum) and reverse (positive bias applied to manganese cathode) voltages. Reverse bias currents might be several orders of magnitude larger than forward leakage currents so I-V characteristics of tantalum capacitors resemble characteristics of semiconductor rectifiers. Asymmetric I-V characteristics of Ta -- anodic Ta2O5 systems have been observed at different top electrode materials including metals, electrolytes, conductive polymers, and manganese oxide thus indicating that this phenomenon is likely related to the specifics of the Ta -- Ta2O5 interface. There have been multiple attempts to explain rectifying characteristics of capacitors employing anodic tantalum pentoxide dielectrics. A brief review of works related to reverse bias (RB) behavior of tantalum capacitors shows that the mechanism of conduction in Ta -- Ta2O5 systems is still not clear and more testing and analysis is necessary to understand the processes involved. If tantalum capacitors behave just as rectifiers, then the assessment of the safe reverse bias operating conditions would be a relatively simple task. Unfortunately, these parts can degrade with time under reverse bias significantly, and this further complicates analysis of the I-V characteristics and establishing safe operating areas of the parts. On other hand, time dependence of reverse currents might provide additional information for investigation of the processes under reverse bias conditions. In practice, there were instances when, due to unforeseen events, the system operated at conditions when capacitors experience periodically a relatively small reverse bias for some time followed by normal, forward bias conditions. In such a case an assessment should be made on the degree to which these capacitors are degraded by application of low-voltage reverse bias, and whether this degradation can be reversed by normal operating conditions. In this study, reverse currents in different types of tantalum capacitors were monitored at different reverse voltages below 15%VR and temperatures in the range from room to 145 C for up to 150 hours to get better understanding of the degradation process and determine conditions favorable to the unstable mode of operation. The reversibility of RB degradation has been evaluated after operation of the capacitors at forward bias conditions. The effect of reverse bias stress (RBS) on reliability at normal operating conditions was evaluated using highly accelerated life testing at voltages of 1.5VR and 2 VR and by analysis of changes in distributions of breakdown voltages. Possible mechanisms of RB degradation are discussed.

Spontaneous Lithiation of Binary Oxides during Epitaxial Growth on LiCoO 2

Epitaxial growth is a powerful tool for synthesizing heterostructures and integrating multiple functionalities. Interfacial mixing can readily occur at temperatures required for complete film crystallization and can significantly modify the properties of layered structures, particularly for those containing energy storage materials with smaller cations. Here we show a two-step sequence involving the growth of an epitaxial LiCoO 2 cathode layer followed by the deposition of a binary transition metal oxide (WO 3 , TiO 2 , and others) in which controlled lithiation of the binary oxide occurs. Orientation-controlled epitaxial synthesis of the model solid-state-electrolyte Li 2 WO 4 and model anode material Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 occurs as WO 3 and TiO 2 nucleate their respective host lattices and attract Li ions from the underlying cathode. The cathode layer readily provides a tunable amount of Li ions for the controlled lithiation of the subsequent layer. We demonstrate that this approach can be used for energy materials discovery and exploring different combinations of epitaxial interfaces that can serve as well-defined model systems for mechanistic studies of energy storage and conversion processes.

Synergistic Coupling of Proton Conductors BaZr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3–δ and La 2 Ce 2 O 7 to Create Chemical Stable, Interface Active Electrolyte for Steam Electrolysis Cells

For the first time, proton conductors BaZr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3–δ (BZCYYb) and La 2 Ce 2 O 7 (LCO) are combined to create an interface active and steam-tolerant electrolyte for high-performance proton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis cells. LCO shows good chemical compatibility with BZCYYb. The readily fabricated LCO/BZCYYb bilayer electrolyte can be densified at a temperature of as low as 1300 °C versus ~1600 °C for the benchmark steam-stable BaZr 0.8 Y 0.2 O 3–δ electrolyte. With Pr 2 NiO 4+δ as the anode and Ni as the cathode catalyst, this bilayer electrolyte cell yields a current density of 975 and 300 mA/cm 2 under a 1.3 V applied potential at 700 and 600 °C, respectively. This performance is among the best of all H-SOECs equipped with a chemically stable electrolyte so far. A BZCYYb layer in the bilayer electrolyte promotes the hydrogen evolution reaction at the cathode side, resulting in a 108% improvement over the cell without this layer. The LCO layer, on the other hand, effectively protects this functional BZCYYb layer from the high concentration of steam in a practical SOEC operation condition. The cell without the LCO layer shows degradation in terms of an increased electrolyzing potential from 1.07 to 1.29 V during a constant 400 mA/cm 2 operation at 700 °C. In contrast, the bilayer electrolyte cell maintains the same electrolyzing potential of 1.13 V under the same conduction for a 102 h operation. These findings demonstrate that this synergic bilayer electrolyte design is a vital strategy to overcome the dilemma between performance and stability faced by the current benchmark Zr- or Ce-rich Ba(CeZr)O 3–δ electrolysis cells to achieve excellent performance and stability at the same time.

Functioning Mechanism of AlF 3 Coating on the Li- and Mn-Rich Cathode Materials

We report systematic studies of the microstructural changes of uncoated and AlF3-coated Li-rich Mn-rich (LMR) cathode materials (Li1.2Ni0.15Co0.10Mn0.55O2) before and after cycling using a combination of aberration-corrected scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). TEM coupled with EELS provides detailed information about the crystallographic and electronic structure changes that occur after cycling, thus revealing the fundamental improvement mechanism of surface coating. The results demonstrate that the surface coating reduces oxidation of the electrolyte at high voltage, suppressing the accumulation of a thick solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer on electrode particle surface. Surface coating significantly enhances the stability of the surface structure and protects the electrode from severe etching/corrosion by the acidic species in the electrolyte, reducing the formation of etched surfaces and corrosion pits. Moreover, surface coating alleviates the undesirable voltage fade by mitigating layered to spinel-like phase transformation in the bulk region of the material. These fundamental findings may also be widely applied to explain the functioning mechanisms of other surface coatings used in a broad range of electrode materials.

Status and prospect of in situ and operando characterization of solid-state batteries

Electrification of the transportation sector relies on radical re-imagining of energy storage technologies to provide affordable, high energy density, durable and safe systems. Next generation energy storage systems will need to leverage high energy density anodes and high voltage cathodes to achieve the required performance metrics (longer vehicle range, long life, production costs, safety). Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are promising materials technology for achieving these metrics by enabling these electrode systems due to the underlying material properties of the solid electrolyte (viz. mechanical strength, electrochemical stability, ionic conductivity). Electro-chemo-mechanical degradation in SSBs detrimentally impact the Coulombic efficiencies, capacity retention, durability and safety in SSBs restricting their practical implementation. Solid|solid interfaces in SSBs are hot-spots of dynamics that contribute to the degradation of SSBs. Characterizing and understanding the processes at the solid|solid interfaces in SSBs is crucial towards designing of resilient, durable, high energy density SSBs. This work provides a comprehensive and critical summary of the SSB characterization with a focus on in situ and operando studies. Additionally, perspectives on experimental design, emerging characterization techniques and data analysis methods are provided. Furthermore, this work provides a thorough analysis of current status of SSB characterization as well as highlights important avenues for future work.

Pure-Water-Fed Forward-Bias Bipolar Membrane CO 2 Electrolyzer

Coupling renewable electricity to reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) electrochemically into carbon feedstocks offers a promising pathway to produce chemical fuels sustainably. While there has been success in developing materials and theory for CO 2 reduction, the widespread deployment of CO 2 electrolyzers has been hindered by challenges in the reactor design and operational stability due to CO 2 crossover and (bi)carbonate salt precipitation. Herein, we design asymmetrical bipolar membranes assembled into a zero-gap CO 2 electrolyzer fed with pure water, solving both challenges. By investigating and optimizing the anion-exchangelayer thickness, cathode differential pressure, and cell temperature, the forward-bias bipolar membrane CO 2 electrolyzer achieves a CO faradic efficiency over 80% with a partial current density over 200 mA cm –2 at less than 3.0 V with negligible CO 2 crossover. In addition, this electrolyzer achieves 0.61 and 2.1 mV h –1 decay rates at 150 and 300 mA cm –2 for 200 and 100 h, respectively. Postmortem analysis indicates that the deterioration of catalyst/polymer– electrolyte interfaces resulted from catalyst structural change, and ionomer degradation at reductive potential shows the decay mechanism. Furthermore, all these results point to the future research direction and show a promising pathway to deploy CO 2 electrolyzers at scale for industrial applications.
