石墨烯化聚合物:一种兼具电子和离子传输通道的三维富碳高分子能源材料

近年来,用于电化学能源存储和转化的石墨烯材料,得到了研究者们越来越多的关注。但是,这些石墨烯材料不同于严格定义的单原子碳层结构,往往具有孔洞、杂原子和化学官能团等缺陷结构。由于制备方法的不同,缺陷结构各不相同,其电化学性能也表现各异。结构分析表明,这类材料是由类似石墨烯片段的单元与聚合物链共价连接而成,使其具有石墨烯和聚合物的双重特性,我们称之为石墨烯化聚合物。由小分子通过自下而上的方法制备的多孔聚合物,也可以通过进一步热交联等方法,使其形成包含石墨烯片段单元与聚合物链的化学结构。这些材料与石墨烯衍生材料一起组成了石墨烯化聚合物的整个谱系;这个谱系涵盖了由聚合物到石墨烯的过渡区。更重要的是,这类材料特殊的结构与性质,使其成为一种兼具电子和离子传输通道的三维富碳高分子材料,非常适合作为电极材料应用于电化学能源存储和转化,这为我们深入研究储能器件中电极材料的结构与性能的相关关系提供了很好的材料平台。

Ab initio simulations of liquid electrolytes for energy conversion and storage

Understanding physicochemical properties of liquid electrolytes is essential for predicting and optimizing device performance for a wide variety of emerging energy technologies, including photoelectrochemical water splitting, supercapacitors, and batteries. In this work, we review recent progress and open challenges in predicting structural, dynamical, and electronic properties of the liquids using first-principles approaches. We briefly summarize the basic concepts of first-principles molecular dynamics (FPMD), and we discuss how FPMD methods have enriched our understanding of a number of liquids, including aqueous solutions, organic electrolytes and ionic liquids. We also discuss technical challenges in extending FPMD simulations to the study of liquid electrolytes in more complex environments, including the interface between electrolytes and electrodes, which is a key component in many energy storage and conversion systems.     

Perspective on antiferroelectrics for energy storage and conversion applications

As a close relative of ferroelectricity,antiferroelectricity has received a recent resurgence of interest driven by technological aspirations in energy-efficient applications,such as energy storage capacitors,solid-state cooling devices,explosive energy conversion,and displacement transducers.Though prolonged efforts in this area have led to certain progress and the discovery of more than 100 antiferroelectric materials over the last 70 years,some scientific and technological issues remain unresolved.Herein,we provide perspectives on the development of antiferroelectrics for energy storage and conversion applications,as well as a comprehensive understanding of the structural origin of antiferroelectricity and field-induced phase transitions,followed by design strategies for new lead-free antiferroelectrics.We also envision unprecedented challenges in the development of promising antiferroelectric materials that bridge materials design and real applications.Future research in these directions will open up new possibilities in resolving the mystery of antiferroelectricity,provide opportunities for comprehending structure-property correlation and developing antiferroelectric/ferroelectric theories,and suggest an approach to the manipulation of phase transitions for real-world applications.     

Membraneless energy conversion and storage using immiscible electrolyte solutions

Breakthrough alternative technologies are urgently required to alleviate the critical need to decarbonise our energy supply. We showcase non-conventional approaches to battery and solar energy conversion and storage (ECS) system designs that harness key attributes of immiscible electrolyte solutions, especially the membraneless separation of redox active species and ability to electrify certain liquid–liquid interfaces. We critically evaluate the recent development of membraneless redox flow batteries based on biphasic systems, where one redox couple is confined to an immiscible ionic liquid or organic solvent phase, and the other couple to an aqueous phase. Common to all solar ECS devices are the abilities to harvest light, leading to photo-induced charge carrier separation, and separate the products of the photo-reaction, minimising recombination. We summarise recent progress towards achieving this accepted solar ECS design using immiscible electrolyte solutions in photo-ionic cells, to generate redox fuels, and biphasic “batch” water splitting, to generate solar fuels.
