Nickel-plated sulfur nanocomposites for electrochemically stable high-loading sulfur cathodes in a lean-electrolyte lithium-sulfur cell

Cun-Sheng Cheng et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel electroless-nickel-plated sulfur nanocomposite was developed by chemically plating conductive and electrocatalytic nickel onto the surface of sulfur particles. This cathode material demonstrated high charge-storage capacity and excellent rate performance, along with stable long-term cyclability for 200 cycles. The improved electrochemical characteristics were achieved by simultaneously reaching high sulfur loading and content, as well as a low electrolyte-to-sulfur ratio.

Lotus-Root-Like Carbon Fibers Embedded with Ni-Co Nanoparticles for Dendrite-Free Lithium Metal Anodes

Chen Chen et al.

Summary: This study proposed a spatial control strategy using lotus-root-like Ni-Co hollow prisms@carbon fibers as the host to address the challenges of lithium dendrites growth and huge volume change for practical applications of Li-metal anodes. The homogeneous distribution of bimetallic Ni-Co particles and the 3D conductive network effectively reduced the overpotential for Li nucleation and guided uniform Li nucleation and non-dendritic growth. As a result, the NCH@CFs host enabled a stable Li metal anode with low voltage hysteresis during repeated Li plating/stripping.

Scalable production of high-performing woven lithium-ion fibre batteries

Jiqing He et al.

Summary: Research has shown that there is a hyperbolic cotangent function relationship between the internal resistance of long fibre lithium-ion batteries and their length, with the resistance decreasing before leveling off as the length of the fibres increases. Through an optimized scalable industrial process, high-performing metre-long fibre lithium-ion batteries with high energy density and cycle stability can be mass-produced. These batteries are able to maintain over 80% capacity even after bending the fibre for 100,000 cycles, and can wirelessly charge devices or power fabric-based electronic components such as a health management jacket with fibre sensors and a textile display.
