Size Effect of a Piezoelectric Material as a Separator Coating Layer for Suppressing Dendritic Li Growth in Li Metal Batteries

Junghwan Kim et al.

Summary: In order to solve the problem of dendritic growth of Li metal in battery anode, researchers proposed a strategy of surface modification by coating the separator with a piezoelectric material. The modified separator showed higher thermal resistance and the ability to regulate Li-ion flux when punctured by Li dendrite. Different solvents were used to synthesize the piezoelectric material via solvothermal method to explore the size effect. This strategy would be helpful to overcome the intrinsic Li metal anode problems.

A new approach to stabilize the electrochemical performance of Li metal batteries through the structure alteration of CNT scaffolds

Junghwan Kim et al.

Summary: Li-metal batteries (LMBs) have attracted renewed interest due to their high specific capacity and low operating potential, which can help overcome the limitations of conventional Li-ion batteries. However, poor coulombic efficiency and dendritic Li formation pose challenges for the commercial use of Li-metal anodes. Among various strategies, the utilization of 3D current collectors, specifically carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), has shown promising results in improving the electrochemical stability of LMBs. The MWNT current collector facilitates uniform and stable Li deposition, thereby reducing the growth of dendritic Li and contributing to the stable operation of Li-metal cells at high current densities.

Synergistic Composite Coating for Separators in Lithium Metal Batteries

Saebom Ryu et al.

Summary: The study focuses on formulating a separator coating using a mixture of an ionic liquid, a block copolymer, and microspheres to address the issue of uncontrolled lithium dendrite growth in lithium metal batteries. The coated polyethylene separator mechanically strengthens the layer against dendrite growth, while also supporting lithium ion conduction and providing robust connections among the composite components for uniform lithium ion flux and compact lithium metal plating. This composite coating demonstrates improved thermal stability and superior cyclability in various battery configurations, making it useful for both developing lithium metal batteries and common commercial lithium ion batteries.

Investigating the Degradation of Nb2O5 Thin Films Across 10,000 Lithiation/Delithiation Cycles

Ilektra Andoni et al.

Summary: The study reveals a reproducible degradation process of Nb2O5 films after lithiation/delithiation cycling, with irreversible capacity loss occurring after 1000 cycles and stabilization of Csp after 9000 cycles. The research indicates that the decline in capacity is concurrent with an increase in charge transfer resistance, loss of crystalline order, and dissolution of niobium from the film.
