Pengfei Xu et al.

Summary: In this study, a soluble organic cathode material is developed for lithium-ion batteries, which exhibits high reversible capacity and stability. The high stability is attributed to the insoluble property caused by hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, the amino functionalization reduces the band gap of HATN, leading to improved conductivity and performance.

Biao Zhang et al.

Summary: A physicochemical dual cross-linking conductive polymeric network is designed to address the poor stability and cycling performance of silicon microparticles as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. This network enables stress dissipation and enhances the electrode interface stability through folded molecular chains slipping and sequential cleavage of H-bonds. The resulting electrode demonstrates high capacity retention and low capacity loss, making it a promising strategy for practical high-capacity anodes in energy-dense batteries.

Carbon nanotube-hyperbranched polymer core-shell nanowires with highly accessible redox-active sites for fast-charge organic lithium batteries

Zhonghui Sun et al.

Summary: Organic electrode materials, such as the hexaazatrinaphthalene-based azo-linked hyperbranched polymer (HAHP) synthesized in this study, show promise for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their environmental friendliness and structural diversity. To improve their performance, the HAHP@SWCNT nanocomposites were developed by growing nanosized HAHP on the surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using a template. This resulted in porous structures with highly accessible active sites and improved cycling stability and fast charge-discharge rates. The HAHP@SWCNT nanocomposites exhibited high specific capacity, excellent cycling stability, and outstanding rate performance, making them potential candidates for high-performance LIBs.

Redox-active polymers: The magic key towards energy storage - a polymer design guideline progress in polymer science

Philip Rohland et al.

Summary: Renewable organic batteries are valuable for storing sustainably generated energy and phasing out carbon-based energy production. Over the past 80 years, various approaches using organic redox materials in batteries have emerged, with polymers gaining considerable interest. Polymers offer fast redox chemistry, straightforward synthesis, and tunable solubility, making them suitable for diverse electronic devices. Redox-active polymers were studied as early as 1944 and have evolved from an interesting phenomenon to a promising family of tailor-made battery materials, with commercial applications. This review focuses on the design of interesting polymeric, redox-active materials, discussing polymerization techniques, architectures, and practical properties, as well as their applications in solid-state batteries, pseudo-capacitors, and redox-flow batteries.

Mesoporous Polyimide-Linked Covalent Organic Framework with Multiple Redox-Active Sites for High-Performance Cathodic Li Storage

Xiya Yang et al.

Summary: Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have gained attention as promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. However, the capacity of COF electrodes reported so far is still unsatisfactory. In this study, a new two-dimensional polyimide-linked COF, HATN-AQ-COF, was designed and fabricated. It possesses multiple redox-active sites for Li+ ion storage, excellent stability, good conductivity, and a large pore size. The HATN-AQ-COF electrode demonstrates a high reversible capacity, active site utilization, and cycle performance, making it one of the best performers among reported COF electrodes.

Origin of structural degradation in Li-rich layered oxide cathode

Tongchao Liu et al.

Summary: Utilizing Li- and Mn-rich (LMR) cathode materials can increase battery energy density. However, voltage decay issues impede commercialization. In this study, it is revealed that nanostrain and lattice displacement accumulate continuously during operation, leading to structure degradation and oxygen loss, which cause rapid voltage decay. The heterogeneous nature of LMR cathodes results in pernicious phase displacement/strain. Mesostructural design is proposed as a strategy to mitigate lattice displacement and achieve stable voltage and capacity profiles.
