Unraveling electrochemo-mechanical aspects of core–shell composite cathode for sulfide based all-solid-state batteries

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) are emerging as promising next-generation batteries for electric vehicles owing to their high energy densities and safety features. However, challenges such as inadequate material percolation and low cathode utilization often hinder their potential. This paper presents a core–shell approach to optimize the cathode active material (CAM) utilization. The resultant CAM composite showed high ionic conductivity, a highly dense microstructure with <10% porosity, and minimal stack pressure changes during electrochemical cycling. The maximum CAM utilization was achieved while effectively mitigating electrochemo-mechanical side reactions by applying a uniformly coated Li 6 PS 5 Cl solid electrolyte layer (≈500 nm) and a LiNbO 3 buffer layer (≈10 nm) onto LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 particles (LPSCl@LNO@NMC). The engineered LPSCl@LNO@NMC composites, which incorporated a 5 wt% LPSCl coating on LNO@NMC powders, exhibited a dense microstructure that enhanced the mechanical stability at the cathode. Sulfide-based solid electrolyte (SSE)/SSE contact provided better ionic pathways within the composite and increased CAM utilization. Thus, an enhanced reversible capacity (197 mA h g -1 ) and exceptional high-rate cycling performance (86.3% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 2C) were observed. These findings pave the way for the advancement and commercialization of high-performance ASSLBs.

Pushing the Limits: Maximizing Energy Density in Silicon Sulfide Solid‐State Batteries

Here, for the first time, we demonstrate a silicon solid-state battery (SSB) architecture that achieves >400 Wh kg −1 , approaching the theoretical limit for silicon-based SSBs. This configuration features a 99.9 wt% micro-Si, a thin sulfide solid electrolyte (SSE), and a high-loading NMC811. Key to these results is strategically selecting and evaluating the processing techniques, whether wet or dry, for the negative electrode, positive electrode and thin sheet-type SSE. Excessive lithium incorporation into the silicon host, beyond the Li 3.75 +Si phase to form a LiSi composite, is essential to match the high capacity of the positive electrode. This SSB achieves over 1000 cycles for a 2 mAh cm −2 with ≈80% capacity retention and 94% capacity retention for 3 mAh cm −2 over 500 cycles at 25 °C. Post analysis identifies the primary capacity decay mechanisms as oxidation at the NMC/SSE interface and structural disruptions within NMC. Meanwhile, the Si electrode maintains a robust solid-electrolyte interphase layer, minimizing capacity decay. This study highlights the necessity for improved NMC coatings, lattice oxygen stabilization, and a durable positive electrode-electrolyte interface to improve the long-term stability of SSBs. Strategies leading to a single-layer pouch cell SSB exceeding 400 Wh kg −1 are developed.

Heterogeneity of the Dominant Causes of Performance Loss in End-of-Life Cathodes and Their Consequences for Direct Recycling

Recycling Li-ion batteries from electric vehicles is critical for reducing costs and supporting the development of a domestic battery supply chain. Direct recycling of cathodes, like LiNixMnyCozO2 (NMC), is attractive due to its low cost, energy use, and emissions compared to traditional recycling techniques. However, a comprehensive understanding of the active material properties at end-of-life is needed to guide direct recycling processes and the performance-dependent reuse applications. Here, NMC material from an end-of-life commercial pouch cell is characterized and bench-marked against pristine non-cycled counterparts with respect to capacity, impedance, crystallography, morphology, and microstructure to identify major degradation modes and understand variability in the end-of-life material. The spatial heterogeneity of each property throughout the cell is also quantified. While the degraded material demonstrated similar capacity as the pristine, its impedance and rate capability are severely diminished. Furthermore, samples from the periphery of the electrode layers showed more severe performance loss compared to samples extracted from central regions. The dominant culprit of performance loss is the material microstructure, where the magnitude of particle cracking showed the strongest correlation to the impedance components that are most unfavorably impacted. This work suggests severe cracks in cathode active materials are the primary challenge that direct recycling methods must overcome.

Flux Upcycling of Degraded Layered Cathodes to LiNi x Mn y Co z O 2 (NMCs) with Gradient Transition Metal Distribution

The rising demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has intensified the need for efficient recycling methods to address both supply chain constraints and environmental impacts. Direct upcycling, distinguished by its ability to achieve both the structural and compositional integrity of cathode materials, has gained prominence as a sustainable alternative to conventional pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes. However, the current direct upcycling methods are typically limited by incorporating Li and/or Ni, significantly constraining the adaptability across diverse LiNi x Mn y Co z O 2 (NMCs). Here, in this study, a versatile molten salt approach is reported that expands the scope of direct upcycling by enabling simultaneous incorporation of Li, Ni, and Mn. This methodology facilitates flexible conversion among diverse NMC compositions, including non-stoichiometric Co/Mn systems such as upcycling degraded LiCoO 2 (D-LCO), LiNi 1/3 Mn 1/3 Co 1/3 O 2 (D-NMC111), LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 (D-NMC811) to surface Mn enriched NMC111, LiNi 0.5 Mn 0.3 Co 0.2 O 2 (NMC532), and NMC811, respectively. The gradient transition metal distribution in upcycled products, characterized by Mn-enriched outer layers and Co/Ni-enriched cores enhances the interfacial stability of NMC cathodes, addressing critical challenges in long-term performance and structural integrity. These results highlight the potential of flux methods for advancing the upcycling of spent cathodes and producing high-performance materials for next-generation LIBs applications.

Addressing Inherent Challenges to Chemical Relithiation of Cycled End‐of‐Life Cathode Materials

Recycling end‐of‐life (EOL) lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) is important to retain valuable resources from critical materials present in EOL battery waste. Direct recycling methods offer an opportunity to recover intact valuable cathode materials with minimal re‐processing. An important step of the direct recycling process is relithiation which is used to restore lithium content to EOL cathode materials. However, little has been done to study how preprocessing steps such as washing or binder removal may affect relithiation methods in the direct recycling process. Here, the evolution of fluorine byproducts left over from preprocessing steps during a low‐temperature chemical redox mediator relithiation process is tracked. A facile washing step is presented as a solution for mediating adverse effects of surface contamination on the chemical relithiation performance. The structure, lithium content, and electrochemical performance of relithiated EOL NMC 622 material that underwent a pre‐relithiation washing step to remove fluorine byproducts is shown to match that of pristine NMC 622. In this work, it is showed that redox mediator relithiation as a part of a direct recycling process is a promising low energy method that can be applied to EOL material with inherent surface impurities if the proper pre‐relithiation processing steps are implemented.

Distinct Melt Infusion Architectures of Antiperovskite Solid Electrolytes

Antiperovskite solid electrolytes are an emerging class of lithium‐ion conductors distinguished by their unusually low melting points, enabling scalable, low‐temperature processing routes not accessible to most solid electrolytes. In this work, we synthesize phase‐pure chloride (Cl), bromide (Br), and mixed halide (ClBr) variants of antiperovskites and investigate their ionic conductivities in both powder and hot‐pressed forms. Hot pressing significantly enhances conductivity across all compositions, while energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS) of the mixed halide system reveals halide surface migration during densification. We further investigate the melt‐infiltration behavior of these electrolytes into substrates relevant to solid‐state battery architectures, including Al and Cu current collectors, conventional NMC and LFP cathodes, and a foamed NMC cathode with a highly porous architecture. The foamed cathode enables deep and uniform electrolyte penetration, highlighting the role of electrode architecture in facilitating melt infiltration. Across all substrates, electrolyte halide chemistry strongly influences wetting behavior, penetration depth, and resulting microstructural morphology. Together, these results establish clear processing–structure relationships for melt‐infiltrated antiperovskite solid electrolytes and demonstrate how electrolyte chemistry and electrode architecture govern interfacial morphology during integration, providing practical guidelines for processing and structural design in solid‐state battery systems.

Electric-vehicle battery second-life and recycling pathways: How economics depend on chemistry, processing, and application

We assess the economics of repurposing and recycling electric vehicle (EV) batteries by estimating the maximum acquisition price repurposers and recyclers could pay for used EV packs across cathode chemistries, first-life conditions, second-life applications, and recycling processes. We develop a novel open-source process-based cost model of a UL-1974-certified repurposing facility and leverage battery degradation models to estimate the maximum acquisition price repurposers could pay for used EV batteries while producing second-life battery energy storage systems with life-adjusted costs equivalent to new systems. We compare these maximum price estimates to maximum prices for recyclers based on cost and revenue estimates from the EverBatt model. We find that repurposing is more economical than recycling for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, due to their relatively long life and low value materials; recycling is generally more economical than repurposing for lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA) batteries, due to their shorter life and higher value materials; and the economics for lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) batteries depend more heavily on first life retirement conditions and second life application intensity. These results suggest an overall strategy: reuse LFP, recycle NCA, and sort NMC into recycling or repurposing pathways based on state of health and second-life application.

Promising performance of sulfide catholytes compared to halide alternatives in NMC811 cathodes for sheet-type sulfide solid-state batteries

Sulfide-based solid-state batteries (SSBs) show promise in achieving energy densities over 350 Wh/kg, yet challenges persist with their incorporation of high-voltage, nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes, such as LiNi₀.₈Mn₀.₁Co₀.₁O₂ (NMC811), due to the poor oxidation stability of sulfide solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) like Li₆PS₅Cl (LPSCl). Although halide SSEs such as Li₃InCl₆ (LIC) and Li₃YCl₆ (LYC) have previously shown promise in stabilizing high-voltage NMC cathodes, our research reveals that sulfide SSE catholytes, particularly when combined with surface-coated NMC cathodes, deliver superior performance. Here, this investigation assesses the cycling stability of various catholytes—LPSCl, LIC, Li₁₀GeP₂S₁₂ (LGPS), combined LIC-LPSCl, and LYC-LPSCl—in SSBs with LiNbO₃-coated NMC811 cathodes against sheet-type LPSCl separators. Findings indicate that while LGPS-based cathodes maintain higher capacity retention, they yield lower deliverable capacity, and LIC cathodes experience significant electrochemical degradation. Importantly, our results underscore that sulfide SSE catholytes, in conjunction with LiNbO₃-coated cathodes, optimize the cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI), enhancing both kinetics and mass transport. These insights provide a strategic direction for optimizing catholyte composition in the development of sheet-type sulfide-based SSBs.

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.

Investigation of electrode-electrolyte interfaces to enable non-flammable Li-ion batteries operating up to 125°C with liquid electrolyte

Non-flammable and high-temperature stable ionic liquid (IL)-based electrolytes could eliminate catastrophic battery failures and improve battery safety, but their poor electrochemical interaction with the LiNi x Mn y Co z O 2 (NMC) family of cathodes is a long-standing problem due to severe parasitic reactions at high temperature. Understanding surface and bulk structural mechanisms of NMC-type cathodes at elevated operational temperature is of paramount importance to facilitate stable electrochemical performance. Here, we report a non-flammable phosphonium IL-based cell chemistry that offers stable electrode-electrolyte interfaces, leading to electrochemical performance up to 125°C and high-temperature safety. We combine electrochemistry with multimodal X-ray spectroscopy methods to understand interfaces at elevated temperature (100°C). This nanoscale understating enables a proof-of-concept high-temperature cylindrical cell (14500), and the design achieves an average Coulombic efficiency of ≈99.5% up to 300 cycles at 100°C. The results ascertain the significance of depth-dependent degradation at the interface, guiding room-temperature Li-ion technology toward extreme-temperature applications.

Designing Particle Morphologies for Materials with Solid Transport Limitations: A Case Study of Lithium and Manganese Rich Cathode Oxides

A lithium and manganese rich nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide (LMR-NMC) cathode is a promising candidate for next-generation batteries due to its high specific capacity, low cost, and low cobalt content. However, the material suffers from poor rate capability due to the diffusion limitations of lithium in the cathode particles. Understanding the material performance requires careful control of the morphology of the cathode particles, taking into account the primary and agglomerated diffusion pathways and the presence of pores, some of which could be closed from electrolyte infiltration. Here, in this study, we use a microstructure-based mathematical model combined with experimental data to understand the role of the complex cathode particle morphology in the rate performance of the material. Scanning electron microscopy images of cathodes made under different synthesis conditions, which results in different agglomerate morphologies, serve as the input into the mathematical model. The model is then compared to rate data to understand the controlling parameters. The presence of intra-agglomerate closed pores results in a large agglomerate diffusion length in comparison to the ideal condition, where the primary particles are agglomerated in an open and dispersed manner such that the entire interfacial area is available for electrochemical reaction. Smaller primary and agglomerate diffusion lengths result in better electrochemical performance. This points us toward designing the morphology of the cathode particles to compensate for the diffusion limitation of LMR-NMC while maximizing the density.

Thermodynamic and Kinetic Mechanisms Governing the Synthesis of Nickel-Poor Cathodes

A deeper understanding of the thermodynamics and kinetics governing the lithiation and layering mechanisms of NMC cathode materials (LiNixMnyCozO 2 , where x + y + z = 1) offers valuable insights for enhancing synthesis methods and improving cathode performance. By employing atomistic and mesoscale approaches informed by in situ powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) experiments, critical parameters for comprehending lithiation and layering processes and reaction rates were identified. The mesoscale approach captured the evolution of the phases and crystallite size observed in the in situ PXRD, revealing the differences in reaction rates with the use of different lithium salts and starting precursors. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) underscored the importance of vacancies and structural defects in promoting ion mobility and facilitating the nucleation of a layered domain. This nucleation disrupts the symmetry of disordered phases, ultimately creating a strained phase that serves as a buffer between layered and disordered regions. The lithiation and layering processes reflect a dynamic balance between the thermodynamic drive for a low-energy layered structure and the kinetic of diffusion, which is influenced by temperature and lithium vacancy concentration. Overall, reaction mechanisms are driven by the inherent defects of the intermediate phase that differ for NMC cathode materials. The lithium salts impact the rates of lithiation and layering, with a much slower process for Li 2 CO 3 .

Isolated Single Metal Atoms Supported on Silica for One Step Non-Oxidative Methane Upgrading to Hydrogen and Value-Added Hydrocarbons

Natural gas in the United States offers substantial economic opportunities due to its abundance but its transportation is challenging because its primary component, methane (CH 4 ), does not liquefy at ambient temperature and typical pressures. As a result, a significant portion of natural gas is either used for heat, flared in remote locations, or remains unutilized, presenting a lost economic opportunity and an environmental harm. Converting natural gas to larger hydrocarbons in an economically competitive manner would enable transportation of products and further boost the economy and reduce environmental footprint. Our research goal is to enable efficient non-oxidative methane conversion (NMC) via catalyst innovation to convert CH 4 in one-step to olefins and aromatics and hydrogen (H 2 ) co-product. The catalysts are made of supported single metal atoms and operated at medium-high temperatures. The single metal atoms achieve methane activation by heterogeneous surface dehydrogenation to generate a hydrocarbon pool and importantly limit coke formation. The integration of novel single atom catalysts in a short contact time microreactor enable unprecedented NMC performance that could lead to economically-feasible, distributed natural gas upgrading by advanced manufacturing and process intensification. Our innovated catalyst and reactor technology promise to tap into previously uneconomic natural gas resources, such as stranded, vented, and flared methane.

Achieving high rate performance in hybrid pristine-recycled cathodes using model-informed electrode designs

Direct recycling lithium-ion battery cathodes, a process that retains the engineered oxide structures from end-of-life materials, presents a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to other battery recycling methods. However, while direct-recycled cathodes have demonstrated performance comparable to that of pristine materials at low cycling rates, their high-rate performance remains uncertain. Morphology changes in cathode particles, a main mode of degradation, directly impact rate performance by limiting surface kinetics and solid-phase diffusion. If direct recycling processes do not sufficiently restore pristine-like morphologies, the recycled materials may retain structural defects that hinder high-rate performance. The present work uses a physics-based pseudo-2D model to simulate hybrid electrodes with pristine and artificially “aged/recycled” NMC materials to investigate potential impacts of incorporating performance-limited aged cathode materials into cells. The study highlights how differences in transport and kinetic properties can influence rate capabilities in mixed electrodes — particularly in high-loading cells in high-demand applications. However, model results also reveal a possible mitigation strategy via dual-layer electrode architectures with lower-performing materials positioned near the current collector. Simulations of 4.0 mAh cm −2 cells cycled at 4C using a dual-layer architecture provided approximately 5%–30% more capacity in constant-current protocols compared to homogeneously blended electrode architectures with the same loadings and mixed-material compositions. These findings highlight the importance of strategic electrode design in minimizing potential performance losses and facilitating the integration of recycled materials into high-performance batteries, advancing sustainable and cost-effective battery manufacturing.

Semi-automatic image annotation using 3D LiDAR projections and depth camera data

Efficient image annotation is necessary to utilize deep learning object recognition neural networks in nuclear safeguards, such as for the detection and localization of target objects like nuclear material containers (NMCs). This capability can help automate the inventory accounting of different types of NMCs within nuclear storage facilities. The conventional manual annotation process is labor-intensive and time-consuming, hindering the rapid deployment of deep learning models for NMC identifications. This paper introduces a novel semi-automatic method for annotating 2D images of nuclear material containers (NMCs) by combining 3D light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data with color and depth camera images collected from a handheld scan system. The annotation pipeline involves an operator manually marking new target objects on a LiDAR-generated map, and projecting these 3D locations to images, thereby automatically creating annotations from the projections. The semi-automatic approach significantly reduces manual efforts and the expertise in image annotation that is required to perform the task, allowing deep learning models to be trained on-site within a few hours. The paper compares the performance of models trained on datasets annotated through various methods, including semi-automatic, manual, and commercial annotation services. The evaluation demonstrates that the semi-automatic annotation method achieves comparable or superior results, with a mean average precision (mAP) above 0.9, showcasing its efficiency in training object recognition models. Additionally, the paper explores the application of the proposed method to instance segmentation, achieving promising results in detecting multiple types of NMCs in various formations.

Computational modeling of coupled mechanical damage and electrochemistry in ternary oxide composite electrodes

Performance degradation of ternary layered oxide cathodes largely originates from their loss of structural integrity in cyclic usage. Mechanical damage, such as intergranular fracture of the active particles, is not only a mechanical cleavage process but also interferes with electrochemical kinetics such as infiltration of liquid electrolyte, surface corrosion of the constituent primary particles, and may eventually isolate the primary grains from the electron conducting network. Here, in this work, we develop a computational framework that integrates electrochemistry of a LiNi x Mn y Co 1−x−y O 2 (NMC) composite cathode with mechanical damage of the active particles. To fully examine the intricate chemomechanical behavior of the electrode, we evaluate the effects of the anisotropic material properties, the influence of mechanical potential on Li transport, and the concurrent intergranular fracture and electrolyte penetration along the grain boundaries upon multiple cycles. Electrolyte infiltration benefits capacity retention but aggravates further mechanical damage by corrosion. Structural failure mostly occurs in the first charging due to the anisotropic mechanical strain between the primary grains, while the resulting damage remains stable in the later few cycles. The results are consistent with experimental observations and the integration of electrochemistry and mechanical failure enables a step further understanding of the complex mechanism of battery degradation.

A technoeconomic analysis of poly- and single-crystalline NMCxyz from material synthesis to battery pack design

A process model was developed for estimating the cost of manufacturing lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LiNi x Mn y Co z O 2 , NMCxyz), the main cathode active material in lithium-ion batteries used for electric vehicles in the United States. The model was used to estimate the prices of NMC622, NMC811, and NMC955 with poly- and single-crystalline morphologies. The Battery Performance and Cost Model (BatPaC) was used to translate the NMC prices into battery pack prices. A decrease in cobalt content from NMC622 (20% Co) to NMC955 (5% Ni) decreases the material price by $\$$0.85/kg (−3%) due to a decrease in the cost of battery materials, which account for >60% of the total price. NMC622 only produce cheaper packs if the nickel sulfate cost is > 4 × its baseline, indicating higher nickel materials will lower pack cost under normal market conditions. Single-crystalline materials are $\$$2/kg (+8%) more expensive than their polycrystalline counterparts due to higher manufacturing costs from longer, hotter calcinations in less densely packed saggars. This increases the pack price by ∼$\$$3/kWh, assuming identical electrochemical properties. In conclusion, the single-crystalline materials could yield cheaper packs if cycled to higher upper cutoff voltages (i.e., 4.35 to 4.43 V for the single-crystalline material vs. 4.25 V for their polycrystalline counterparts).

Constructing synthetic organosulfur additive for high voltage lithium-ion batteries

Despite its high anodic stability, common organosulfur solvents such as ethyl methyl sulfone and sulfolane typically exhibit poor solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation capability. Here, to address this, the fluorinated organic sulfate 4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,2-dioxathiolane 2,2-dioxide (TFDTD) was developed as an effective additive for tailoring organosulfur-based electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries. This development was guided by the functionality selection principle and careful evaluation of feasibility in organic synthesis. TFDTD can be readily synthesized through the reaction between trifluoropropylene glycol and sulfuryl chloride. The ring structure of the organic sulfate enables the formation of a stable SEI on the anode, while the fluorination of the sulfate not only enhances its chemical stability and oxidation potential, but also its effectiveness to protect the anode by increasing its reduction potential, rendering it preferentially reduced on the anode surface before the decomposition of other electrolyte components. Introducing TFDTD facilitates the generation of a robust solidelectrolyte interphase on the graphite anode, significantly enhancing cell performance. Moreover, coupling the use of TFDTD with vinylene carbonate provides further protection on the cathode surface, enabling exceptionally stable, high-voltage, long-term cycling of Gr||NMC full cells.
