Electrolyte-concentration dependent formation of artificial interface for prolonging the cycle life of Li-based anion storage batteries

Soft carbon in non-aqueous rechargeable batteries: a review of its synthesis, carbonization mechanism, characterization, and multifarious applications

“…Therefore, we have coined the term ‘scissor cutting mechanism’ and the system is known as ‘dual-graphite’/‘dual-ion’/‘dual-carbon’ batteries. 122,123 Through the scissor cutting mechanism, the system could deliver ∼4.5 V output voltage without using any scarce, costly, and toxic transition metals, thereby emerging as a sustainable analog of next-generation LIBs. 124…”

Transforming Residual Lithium Compounds on the LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 Surface into a Li–Mn–P–O-Based Composite Coating for Multifaceted Improvements

“…Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the current state-of-the-art battery technology for high-energy power sources. , Burgeoning demands to increase energy density beyond 300 Wh kg –1 and the limited resources of cobalt have driven the research interests to Co-less (<20%)–Ni-rich (>60%) layered oxide cathodes. ,− To achieve the target of 300 Wh kg –1 at the pack level, LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 (NMC811) is projected as the suitable cathode material due to its ∼200 mAh g –1 capacity at an average voltage of ∼3.8 V . Nevertheless, the lack of long-term cyclability originating from the surface and bulk structural instabilities hinders the commercialization of NMC811. , …”
