Anode-Free Full Cells: A Pathway to High-Energy Density Lithium-Metal Batteries

Sanjay Nanda et al.

Summary: The anode-free full cell configuration is ideal for high energy density and lithium storage, but poor efficiencies of lithium plating and stripping lead to short cycle life. Recent studies have shown that advanced electrolytes and other methods can stabilize lithium deposition and improve cycle life.

Multiscale operando X-ray investigations provide insights into electro-chemo-mechanical behavior of lithium intercalation cathodes

Laisuo Su et al.

Summary: This study utilizes multiscale operando techniques to investigate battery electrodes, integrating synchrotron X-ray scattering and high-resolution transmission X-ray microscopy. Through an over-lithiation test of LiCoO2 electrodes, the complementarity of the two operando techniques is demonstrated, and the mechanism of the polymer coating in improving cycling stability is discovered.

Tailoring Electrode-Electrolyte Interfaces in Lithium-Ion Batteries Using Molecularly Engineered Functional Polymers

Laisuo Su et al.

Summary: Tailoring electrode-electrolyte interfaces (EEIs) using nanoscale polymer thin films deposited via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) can enhance the rate of Li+ transport and improve the charging speed of LiCoO2 in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). PEDOT coatings form chemical bonds with LiCoO2, reducing Co dissolution and inhibiting electrolyte decomposition, leading to a significant increase in the cycle life of LiCoO2.

Revealing causes of macroscale heterogeneity in lithium ion pouch cells via synchrotron X-ray diffraction

Harry Charalambous et al.

Summary: The study reveals that heterogeneous battery performance is critical for maximizing cell lifetime capacity and safety, with significant heterogeneity observed during high voltage rapid charging, while pressure effects are not dominant compared to charge rate. Resting periods can slowly balance out lateral heterogeneity, but it regenerates after further fast charging cycles.

Designing reliable electrochemical cells for operando lithium-ion battery study

Laisuo Su et al.

Summary: Operando experiments are gaining attention in lithium-ion battery studies for capturing non-equilibrium and fast-transient processes during electrochemical reactions. Designing a suitable and reliable electrochemical cell is crucial for ensuring accurate results, as poorly designed in-situ cells may introduce artifacts and lead to misleading data. This study introduces the steps and details of a specific type of in-situ cell, the modified coin cell, which has shown reliability in various operando experiments.
