Nanoklystron: A Monolithic Tube Approach to THz Power Generation

The authors propose a new approach to THz power generation: the nanoklystron. Utilizing silicon micromachining techniques, the design and fabrication concept of a monolithic THz vacuum-tube reflex-klystron source is described. The nanoklystron employs a separately fabricated cathode structure composed of densely packed carbon nanotube field emitters and an add-in repeller. The nanotube cathode is expected to increase the current density, extend the cathode life and decrease the required oscillation voltage to values below 100 V. The excitation cavity is based on ridged-waveguide and differs from the conventional cylindrical re-entrant structures found in lower frequency klystrons. A quasi-static field analysis of the cavity and output coupling structure show excellent control of the quality factor and desired field distribution. Output power is expected to occur through an iris coupled matched rectangular waveguide and integrated pyramidal feed horn. The entire circuit is designed so as to be formed monolithically from two thermocompression bonded silicon wafers processed using deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) techniques. To expedite prototyping, a 600 GHz mechanically machined structure has been designed and is in fabrication. A complete numeric analysis of the nanoklystron circuit, including the electron beam dynamics has just gotten underway. Separate evaluation of the nanotube cathodes is also ongoing. The authors will describe the progress to date as well as plans for the immediate implementation and testing of nanoklystron prototypes at 640 and 1250 GHz.

Physical and Electrical Characterization of Aluminum Polymer Capacitors

Conductive polymer aluminum capacitor (PA capacitor) is an evolution of traditional wet electrolyte aluminum capacitors by replacing liquid electrolyte with a solid, highly conductive polymer. On the other hand, the cathode construction in polymer aluminum capacitors with coating of carbon and silver epoxy for terminal connection is more like a combination of the technique that solid tantalum capacitor utilizes. This evolution and combination result in the development of several competing capacitor construction technologies in manufacturing polymer aluminum capacitors. The driving force of this research on characterization of polymer aluminum capacitors is the rapid progress in IC technology. With the microprocessor speeds exceeding a gigahertz and CPU current demands of 80 amps and more, the demand for capacitors with higher peak current and faster repetition rates bring conducting polymer capacitors to the center o( focus. This is because this type of capacitors has been known for its ultra-low ESR and high capacitance. Polymer aluminum capacitors from several manufacturers with various combinations of capacitance, rated voltage, and ESR values were obtained and tested. The construction analysis of the capacitors revealed three different constructions: conventional rolled foil, the multilayer stacking V-shape, and a dual-layer sandwich structure. The capacitor structure and its impact on the electrical characteristics has been revealed and evaluated. A destructive test with massive current over stress to fail the polymer aluminum capacitors reveals that all polymer aluminum capacitors failed in a benign mode without ignition, combustion, or any other catastrophic failures. The extraordinary low ESR (as low as 3 mOMEGA), superior frequency independence reported for polymer aluminum capacitors have been confirmed. For the applications of polymer aluminum capacitors in space programs, a thermal vacuum cycle test was performed. The results, as expected, show no impact on the electrical characteristics of the capacitors. The breakdown voltage of polymer capacitors has been evaluated using a steady step surge test. Initial results show the uniform distribution in the breakdown voltage for polymer aluminum capacitors. Polymer aluminum capacitors with a combination of very high capacitance, extraordinary low ESR, excellent frequency stability, and non-ignite benign failure mode make it a niche fit in space applications for both today and future. Polymer capacitors are apparently also the best substitutes of the currently used MnO2-based tantalum capacitors in the low voltage range. However, some critical aspects are still to be addressed in the next phase of the investigation for PA capacitors. These include the long term reliability test of 125 C dry life and 85 C/85%RH humidity, the failure mechanism and de-rating, the radiation tolerance, and the high temperature performance. All of the above requires the continuous NEPP funding and support.

Developing rapid electrochemical relithiation protocols for scalable relithiation of lithium-ion battery cathode materials

The recent and ongoing boom in electric vehicle sales has caused the circularity of the supply chain for electric vehicle battery materials to come under a great deal of scrutiny. Innovative recycling processes, or direct recycling, that offer the possibility of reducing the cost of recycling are one possible solution to regaining resources from end-of-life (EoL) electric vehicle batteries. Electrochemically shuttling lithium back into the cathode, or electrochemical relithiation, is a possible technique for restoring lithium content to NMC materials (EoL) in a direct recycling process. This study provides essential understanding towards developing an electrochemical relithiation protocol that will restore lithium loss in intercalation cathode materials that reach EoL by loss of lithium inventory (LLI) as opposed to other degradation mechanisms like loss of active material (LAM), cation mixing or phase transition. Electrochemically aged NMC cathode materials have been prepared and characterized to establish the extent of EoL material structural degradation and lithium loss. A model-informed experimental process is used to identify the optimal electrochemical relithiation protocol to minimize the time taken to relithiate EoL materials and maximize the amount of lithium restored. Protocols were evaluated based on their ability to enable rapid lithium intercalation, maintain structural uniformity in the EoL material and fully restore lithium content. An optimal protocol was identified at elevated temperatures utilizing a novel scanning voltage step.

Utilizing Conjugated Imine Polymers to Stabilize Nanoparticle Silicon Anodes

Silicon anodes provide a compelling route towards delivering high-capacity lithium-ion batteries, however they are notoriously difficult to stabilize in conventional liquid electrolytes that are compatible with high performance cathodes. Furthermore, the drastic changes in volume that occur as silicon is lithiated and delithiated can lead to rapid cell failure and novel polymeric binders are known to help mitigate mechanical issues. We have recently developed a novel method to synthesize the conjugated polymer phenylmethylimine (polyPMI) using an imine metathesis reaction. We have demonstrated that this polymer can be used to stabilize silicon nanoparticles to produce a composite lithium-ion battery anode that is electrochemically stable for hundreds of lithiation and delithiation cycles with a Coulombic efficiency that is greater than 99.95% in a traditional carbonate liquid electrolyte. This work covers the structure and properties of polyPMI within the context of the unique mechanical and electrochemical requirements of nanoparticle silicon anodes. The electrochemical behavior of this polymer also offers new opportunities as an organic lithium-coordinating material that can be used to stabilize a variety of other battery electrodes. More broadly, we posit that this solution-processed, ionically conductive, and electronically conductive polymer is applicable for a variety of energy storage and conversion technologies. Finally, this work demonstrates how this novel polymer chemistry provides additional opportunities for tuning electrode architecture to target high energy full cells.

Electrochemical-driven green recovery of lithium, graphite and cathode from lithium-ion batteries using water

The expected exponential increase in consumption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) would pose a unique challenge to the availability of near-critical resources like lithium and graphite in the upcoming decade. In this work, we present a lithium recovery process that utilizes a degradation mechanism, i.e., lithium plating, as a tool to concentrate metallic lithium at the anode/separator interface for convenient extraction at room temperature – using only water. Electrochemical characterization of fast charged (1–6 C) LIBs yielded a maximum capacity fade of 50% over ten cycles. The lithium plating was confirmed via voltage plateau analysis, coulombic efficiency, and DC resistance measurements. A maximum lithium plating condition was observed to exist between 4C and 5C, thereby limiting the energy consumption in the extraction process. Post-mortem film thickness measurement showed an incrementing film deposition with a maximum of 35 µm thickness. SEM and XPS analysis confirmed increasing concentration of a dense dendritic metallic lithium deposition on the anode/separator interface with C-rate. A green recovery process was adopted to extract the concentrated metallic lithium using distilled water. The lithium from the plated film, solid/electrolyte interface (SEI), electrolyte, anode, and cathode, was extracted as salts. A 37% improvement in lithium recoverability was achieved with fast charging under ambient conditions. XPS analysis showed ~92% of lithium yield with no residual lithium in the graphite. In addition, the battery-grade graphite was recovered with 97% purity after heat treatment of the washed anode film, and concentrated transition metals oxides in the cathode to 93% purity for convenient extraction.

Sulfonated Diels–Alder Poly(Phenylene)s in Membrane Electrode Assemblies for Fuel Cells

The transition to environmentally sustainable materials in fuel cells requires alternatives to persistent polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) like Nafion. This study investigates the performance-limiting factors of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) utilizing sulfonated Diels–Alder poly(phenylene)s (sDAPPs) as PFAS-free polymer electrolytes. Among the configurations evaluated, the greatest performance loss occurred when sDAPP is used as the cathode binder, primarily due to phenyl group adsorption on catalyst surfaces, which reduces oxygen reduction reaction activity and impedes oxygen transport. Additional performance degradation arises from membrane-electrode interfacial incompatibility and insufficient ionomer hydrophobicity. By addressing ionomer adsorption and improving interfacial contact, an sDAPP-based cathode achieved a current density of 1.57 A cm −2 at 0.6 V under fully humidified H 2 /air conditions at 80 °C and 150 kPa abs . These results offer key insights for advancing high-performance, PFAS-free fuel cell technologies.

Irreparable Interphase Chemistry Degradation Induced by Temperature Pulse in Lithium–Ion Batteries

While it is widely recognized that the operating temperature significantly affects the energy density and cycle life of lithium-ion batteries, the consequence of electrode-electrolyte interphase chemistry to sudden environmental temperature changes remains inadequately understood. Here, we systematically investigate the effects of a temperature pulse (T pulse) on the electrochemical performance of LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 (NMC811) pouch full cells. By utilizing advanced characterization tools, such as time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry, we reveal that the T pulse can lead to an irreversible degradation of cathode-electrolyte interphase chemistry and architecture. Despite negligible immediate impacts on the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) on graphite anode, aggregated cathode-to-anode chemical crossover gradually degrades the SEI by catalyzing electrolyte reduction decomposition and inducing metallic dead Li formation because of insufficient cathode passivation after the T pulse. Consequently, pouch cells subjected to the T pulse show an inferior cycle stability to those free of the T pulse. Furthermore, this work unveils the effects of sudden temperature changes on the interphase chemistry and cell performance, emphasizing the importance of a proper temperature management in assessing performance.

Enhanced adsorption removal of arsenic from mining wastewater using birnessite under electrochemical redox reactions

Manganese oxides have been extensively investigated for arsenic (As) adsorption from aqueous solution. However, the effect of electrochemical redox reactions on the adsorption performance and underlying mechanism remain elusive. Herein, birnessite was used for electrochemical adsorption of As from mining wastewater at a constant cell voltage, and the effect of cell voltage and the continuous use (without desorption) performance of birnessite electrode were also evaluated. We report that at 1.2 V for 24 h, the concentrations of total As (As(T)) and As(III) in wastewater decreased from 3808.7 to 73.7 μg L -1 and 682.8 to 21.4 μg L -1 , respectively. The As(T) removal ratio increased with increasing cell voltage and reached 98.1% at 1.2 V, which was higher than that at open circuit (84.1%). The Mn 2+ concentration also significantly decreased in wastewater during As adsorption. The high potential of birnessite anode and the generation of H 2 O 2 on cathode facilitated As(III) oxidation, and the electrochemical redox reactions of birnessite contributed to the enhancement of As(T) removal. The application of cell voltage reversal could improve the utilization rate of birnessite electrodes by dissolution-recrystallization during continuous use, and the As(T) removal ratio was increased from 73.5% to 85.1% after five cycles of voltage alteration. The present work indicates that birnessite is a promising absorbent for the electrochemical adsorption of As from real wastewaters.

Stabilizing alkaline fuel cells with a niobium-doped brookite titanium dioxide catalyst support

Anion-exchange membrane fuel cells represent a promising and scalable approach for hydrogen energy utilization. However, their development is hindered by the weak bonding between metal catalysts and carbon supports, along with challenges in fabricating electronically/ionically conductive electrodes. Here, we report a composite cathode of Nb-doped brookite TiO 2 nanorods that have robust stability when combined with Pt nanoscale catalysts in an alkaline fuel cell. The composite cathode, fabricated without the addition of an ionomer, delivers a power density of 419 mW cm −2 at a current density of 650 mA cm −2 and a voltage retention of 81% at 100 mA cm −2 after 25 h, substantially outperforming a cathode fabricated from commercial Pt/C. Further investigations of the chemical structure, anion exchange capacity, and mass transfer resistance reveal that a solvent residue derived from N-methylpyrrolidone plays an important role in charge transfer and mass transport in the alkaline fuel cell.

Modeling Single-Crystal Battery Materials: From Fundamental Understanding to Performance Evaluation

The performance of rechargeable batteries is fundamentally influenced by the physicochemical properties and microstructural features of their key material components. Recent experimental advancements have highlighted the potential of single-crystal (SC) morphologies to address inherent limitations of polycrystalline (PC) electrodes and solid-state electrolytes, offering tunable charge transport kinetics and improved cell cycling performance. Here, this review examines how state-of-the-art computational modeling, from atomistic and mesoscale to continuum-level approaches, including machine learning methodologies, has been utilized to investigate the critical factors governing the electrochemical behavior of SC battery materials. We explore how predictive modeling can elucidate the processing–structure–property–performance relationships of SC cathodes, anodes, and solid-state electrolytes, with a focus on unique SC characteristics such as crystallographic anisotropy, size effects, and facet-dependent properties. Additionally, we identify limitations in commonly used modeling techniques and discuss strategies to address these challenges. By integrating high-fidelity simulations with experimental insights, this review aims to outline a clear path for the rational design and optimization of SC battery components, paving the way for accelerated advancements in energy storage technologies.

Laser sintering of Al nanoparticles for Al-air batteries

With the growing price of lithium material and associated safety concerns, there is an urgent need for developing new efficient, cost-effective battery systems as a successor for lithium ion batteries. Metal-air batteries have drawn huge attention and interest as energy storage devices due to their high theoretical energy density when Al, Zn, Ni, and Fe are used. In particular, Al-air batteries have the potential to become a promising primary battery system with their relatively low prices and significantly high energy density. In this paper, the authors report a printed Al anode for Al-air battery combined with a laser sintering method. The anode was fabricated by Al nanoparticle ink using squeezing printing. Furthermore, a laser sintering method was applied to remove the organic solvent in the slurry and increase the conductivity of the printed anode. By application of infrared laser sintering, the authors significantly improved electrical conductivity of Al nanoparticles and electrochemical performance of Al-air cells. A Pt/C coated hydrophobicity carbon paper was used for the air cathode to provide a good electrical conductivity, an oxygen flow ability, and the water vapor sealing. Gel-style KOH was introduced as the electrolyte, and waterways were also utilized in the chemical reaction. The authors show a full battery cell with a printed Al anode on flexible substrates. This microbattery can provide a 227 mWh/g energy density and a 239 mAh/g capacity at an operation voltage of 0.95 V.

Revisiting the initial irreversible capacity loss of LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O 2 cathode material batteries

Layered LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O 2 (NCM622) attracts widespread attention primarily due to its potential for high energy density and moderate thermal stability. However, the low initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) of the material limits the maximum utilization of their capacity. The capacity loss in the first cycle occurs under 4.0V and keep almost constant are considered as common characteristics for NCM-based materials. A clear cognition on the initial capacity loss may light the way to improve the practical reversible capacity of NCM622 at 4.0V. Conducting operando X-ray diffraction during galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling at different temperature (25 degrees C, 45 degrees C and 60 degrees C) and different current (0.1C, 0.01C, 1C=120 mA g -1 ) in the voltage range of 2.7-4.0V, we find that only 8% of the measured initial irreversible capacity loss is associated with parasitic reactions that form cathode/electrolyte interface, and that the dominant contributors include the slow Li + diffusion kinetics (similar to 46% contribution) and irreversible O3/H1-3 phase transition (similar to 46% contribution). Finally, this semi-quantitative study provides new insight on initial capacity loss, guiding further targeted modification and fully utilization of NCM622.

A multi-stage electrochemical hydrogen compressor incorporates membrane-electrode-assemblies (MEAs) separated by proton exchange membranes (PEMs) in series to reach higher pressures, when a current is passed through the MEA protons and electrons are generated at the anode. The protons are electrochemically driven across the membrane to the cathode, after which they combine with the rerouted electrons to form hydrogen, which is fed to the hydrogen compressor to be oxidized at the anode of each cell to form protons and electrons. This type of compressor has no moving parts and can be applied to refrigeration systems technologies. This project investigated the viability of commercialization of heat pumps based on electrochemical compressor technology.

Atomic-scale constituting stable interface for improved LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 O 2 cathodes of lithium-ion batteries

Ascribed to their higher capacity and lower cost compared to conventional LiCoO 2 , the Ni-rich layered LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 O 2 (NMC622) is now considered as one promising cathode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, it still suffers from some evident performance degradation, especially under high cutoff voltages (i.e., >4.3 V versus Li/Li + ). The performance degradation typically is exhibited as capacity fading and voltage drop, mainly originating from an instable interface between the NMC622 and electrolyte as well as the evolution of the NMC structure. To improve the interfacial and structural stability of NMC cathodes, herein we deposited an ultrathin layer of Al 2 O 3 coatings (<5 nm) conformally over NMC622 composite electrodes directly using atomic layer deposition (ALD). It was found that, under different upper cutoff voltages (4.3, 4.5, and 4.7 V), the ALD Al 2 O 3 coatings enable enhanced performance of NMC622 cathodes with better cyclability and higher capacity. Particularly, the beneficial effects of the ALD Al 2 O 3 coatings are more remarkable at higher upper cutoff voltages (4.5 and 4.7 V). Furthermore, the ALD coatings can significantly improve the rate capability of NMC622. To this end, we utilized a suite of characterization tools and performed a series of electrochemical tests to clarify the effects of the ALD Al 2 O 3 coatings. This study revealed that the beneficial effects of the Al 2 O 3 ALD coatings are multiple: (i) serving as an artificial layer of solid electrolyte interphase to mitigate undesirable interfacial reactions; (ii) acting as a physical barrier to inhibit metal dissolution of NMC; and (iii) forming a reinforced networked overcoating to boost the mechanical integrity of NMC cathodes. This study is favorable for designing high-performance NMC cathodes.

Performance of a Natural Gas Solid Oxide Fuel Cell System With and Without Carbon Capture

The fuel cell program at the United States Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is focused on the development of low-cost, highly efficient, and reliable fossil-fuel-based solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) power systems that can generate environmentally-friendly electric power with at least 90 percent carbon capture. NETL’s SOFC technology development roadmap is aligned with near-term market opportunities in the distributed generation sector to validate and advance the technology while paving the way for utility-scale natural gas (NG)- and coal-derived synthesis gas-fueled applications via progressively larger system demonstrations. The present study represents a part of a series of system evaluations being carried out at NETL to aid in prioritizing technological advances along research pathways to the realization of utility-scale SOFC systems, a transformational goal of the fuel cell program. In particular, the system performance of utility-scale NG fuel cell (NGFC) systems with and without carbon dioxide (CO2) capture is presented. The NGFC system analyzed features an external auto-thermal reformer (ATR) feeding the fuel to the SOFC system consisting of planar anode-supported SOFC with separated anode and cathode off-gas streams. In systems with CO2 capture, an air separation unit (ASU) is used to provide the oxygen for the ATR and for the combustion of unutilized fuel in the SOFC anode exhaust along with a CO2 purification unit to provide a nearly pure CO2 stream suitable for transport for usage in enhanced oil recovery operations or for storage in underground saline formations. Remaining thermal energy in the exhaust gases is recovered in a bottoming steam Rankine cycle while supplying any process heat requirements. A reduced order model (ROM) developed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is used to predict the SOFC performance. The ROM, while being computationally effective for system studies, provides other detailed information about the state of the stack, such as the internal temperature gradient, generally not available from simple performance models often used to represent the SOFC. Such additional information can be important in system optimization studies to preclude operation under off-design conditions that can adversely impact overall system reliability. The NGFC system performance was analyzed by varying salient system parameters, including the percent of internal (to the SOFC module) NG reformation—ranging from 0 to 100 percent—fuel utilization, and current density. The impact of advances in underlying SOFC technology on electrical performance was also explored.

Decoding the Oxygen Activity with Iron through Ligand-to-Metal Charge Transfer in Li-Rich Layered Cathodes

The quest for high-energy-density and cost-effective cathode materials has revitalized lithium-rich iron-based oxides, where Fe 3+ ions with their stable half-filled d 5 electronic configuration demonstrate unique potentials in regulating oxygen redox activity through ligand-to-metal charge transfer. Using operando 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, synchrotron X-ray techniques, and density functional theory calculations, we unravel the enhanced Fe–O redox activity through the LMCT process and the concomitant evolution of local structure distortion in the Li-rich layered system Li 1.2 MO 2 (M = Ni, Mn, Fe). The metastable Fe 4+ intermediates facilitate early activation of oxygen redox through LMCT along with increased delithiation at a lowered potential (below 4.5 V). Here, this process inherently suppresses Jahn–Teller distortion of Fe 4+ and exhibits Fe–O redox dominance over conventional Fe 3+ /Fe 4+ redox in Li-rich oxides. The Fe–O coupling redox exhibits improved initial Coulombic efficiency and 95% capacity retention over 200 cycles at 4.4 V. However, the LMCT process is accompanied by aggravated cation migration and voltage fade at low cutoff potentials, which requires further mitigation for the utilization of Fe–O redox. Overall, these findings demonstrate the regulating mechanism of iron for oxygen redox through LMCT and provide fundamental insights into the design principles for high-performance, cost-effective iron-based cathode materials.
