Quantifying the chemical, electrochemical heterogeneity and spatial distribution of (poly) sulfide species using Operando SANS
In-situ and operando measurements are done to gain a better understanding of the precipitation mechanisms during charge and discharge in lithium sulfur batteries. A carbon felt networked with microfibers consisting of pores, 2 nm and smaller, is used as a freestanding sulfur host. Three different methods of sulfur infiltration are explored in order to determine the best one to fill most of the pores. It was identified to be a melt infiltration method in a vacuum oven, where the pores including the ultra-micropores, are successfully filled. In-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements show a solid product formation occurring at the sulfur cathode, both during the high voltage plateau and at the end of discharge. In a 3-electrode EIS measurement, a similar solid product formation on the Li counter electrode due to its reaction with polysulfides is also observed. Operando small angle neutron scattering measurements show the solid product formation, in the carbon, both near the beginning and at the end of discharge, confirming the precipitation data via contrast changes as a function of charge and discharge. It is shown that Li 2 S precipitates in the pores at the beginning and the end of discharge, whereas S8 precipitates on the surface of the carbon felt. Finally, this lithium sulfur system shows both the quasi-solid-state and the solid-liquid-solid reactions in a typical ethereal electrolyte solution with a two-plateau discharge profile.

Few-layer tin sulfide (SnS): Controlled synthesis, thickness dependent vibrational properties, and ferroelectricity
Group IV monochalcogenides, anisotropic van der Waals crystals (and black phosphorus analogues), are attracting increasing interest due to a number of exceptional properties including anisotropic optoelectronics and multiferroicity predicted and in part realized in the ultrathin limit. Due to their enhanced chemical reactivity, both exfoliation and synthesis of monolayer and few-layer crystals pose challenges not found in other 2D/layered materials, such as the transition metal dichalcogenides. In this work, we show that SnS synthesis on SnS 2 van der Waals substrates can address these challenges and consistently produces few-layer flakes, a capability that is explained via analysis of real-time microscopy of the growth process. Raman spectroscopy combined with efficient computations of the Raman-active modes across an extended thickness range enables a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of the vibrational properties of SnS with number of layers. Lateral piezoresponse force microscopy provides unprecedented insight into the stacking-dependent polarization and ferroelectric domain structures in large few-layer SnS flakes. The combined results establish a basis for further fundamental studies and applications of SnS and other group IV monochalcogenides in the few-layer regime.

Promoting Reversibility of Multielectron Redox in Alkali-Rich Sulfide Cathodes through Cryomilling
We report conventional cathodes for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are reaching their theoretical capacity limits. One way to meet the growing demands for high-capacity LIBs is by developing so-called Li-rich cathode materials that greatly benefit from additional capacities from anionic moieties in the structure. Li-rich materials are intrinsically subject to higher degrees of (de)intercalation, leaving the particles more prone to fractures and thus rapid capacity fade. Alkali-rich LiNaFeS 2 reversibly cycles with capacities exceeding 300 mAh g -1 , but its capacity fades faster than an isostructural material Li 2 FeS 2 . Using synchrotron-based transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM), we demonstrate that the capacity fade of LiNaFeS 2 stems from particle fractures in the first charge cycle. We improve the cycling performance of LiNaFeS 2 by means of cryomilling, which enhances capacity retention at cycle 50 by 76%. Through crystallographic and morphological characterization techniques, we confirm that cryomilling not only decreases particle and crystallite size while increasing microstrain but also prevents particles from fracturing. Cryomilling is a powerful tool to engineer nanoscale battery materials, and TXM allows the direct observation of morphological changes of the particles, which can be leveraged to develop next-generation cathode materials for LIBs.
