Bifunctional Sulfonated Graphene-Modified LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 for Long-Life and High-Energy-Density Lithium-Ion Batteries

Huiling Chen et al.

Summary: This paper utilizes sulfonated graphene (SA-GE) to modify high-voltage LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, achieving greatly improved cycling life and rate capability. The SA-GE layer inhibits the rapid growth of the cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer, enhances Li+ diffusion kinetics, reduces polarization degree, charge transfer resistance, and structure degradation of the cathode. This demonstrates that optimized chemical decorations of graphene modifiers with sulfonic acid groups are a promising strategy for constructing lithium-ion batteries with long life and high energy density.

An artificial hybrid interphase for an ultrahigh-rate and practical lithium metal anode

Anjun Hu et al.

Summary: An artificial hybrid SEI layer composed of lithium-antimony alloy and lithium fluoride was constructed to reduce electron tunneling between the Li anode and SEI, resulting in uniform Li deposition and stable Li plating/stripping behaviors at an ultrahigh rate. This work uncovers the internal mechanism of Li+ transport within the SEI component, providing a pathway to stabilize the Li anode under practical high-rate conditions.

Selective extraction of lithium from a spent lithium iron phosphate battery by mechanochemical solid-phase oxidation

Kang Liu et al.

Summary: This study presents a green process for the selective and rapid extraction of lithium from spent lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries via mechanochemical solid-phase oxidation. The designed process is acid/base free, has an extremely short time, wastewater-free discharge, and high economic profit. The results show that mechanochemical solid-phase oxidation can selectively release lithium from LiFePO4, providing a new approach to the recovery of lithium.
