Insights into Anion-Solvent Interactions to Boost Stable Operation of Ether-Based Electrolytes in Pure-SiOx||LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 Full Cells

Ether solvents with superior reductive stability promise excellent interphasial stability with high-capacity anodes while the limited oxidative resistance hinders their high-voltage operation. Extending the intrinsic electrochemical stability of ether-based electrolytes to construct stable-cycling high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries is challenging but rewarding. Herein, the anion-solvent interactions were concerned as the key point to optimize the anodic stability of the ether-based electrolytes and an optimized interphase was realized on both pure-SiO_x anodes and LiNi_0.8Mn_0.1Co_0.1O₂ cathodes. Specifically, the small-anion-size LiNO₃ and tetrahydrofuran with high dipole moment to dielectric constant ratio realized strengthened anion-solvent interactions, which enhance the oxidative stability of the electrolyte. The designed ether-based electrolyte enabled a stable cycling performance over 500 cycles in pure-SiO_x||LiNi_0.8Mn_0.1Co_0.1O₂ full cell, demonstrating its superior practical prospects. This work provides new insight into the design of new electrolytes for emerging high-energy density lithium-ion batteries through the regulation of interactions between species in electrolytes.

透明KTN薄膜的PLD法制备及其铁电性能研究

Using the Sol-Gel method for producing the KTN ultrafine powder and the sintering technique with K2O atmosphere to prepare KTN ceramics as the targets instead of the KTN single crystal, highly oriented KTN thin films were produced on the transparent single crystal quartz (100) by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The XRD analysis indicates that the perovskite structure with (h00) orientation is the major phase (>98%) in KTN. The Current-Voltage characteristics were found to be Ohmic at low fields and space-charge-limited at higher fields. This phenomenon is reasonably explained by SCLC theory. The leakage current was lower than 250 μA/mm2 at 0-5 V, which shows the film has good ferroelectric performances. The frequency dependence of dielectric constant results demonstrates that the dispersion of electric capacity is large at low frequency but small at high frequency. The dielectric constant was 12600 at frequency of 10 kHz. The P~E hysteresis loop shows that the remanent polarization and the coercive field are 9.25 μC/cm2 and 7.32 kV/cm, respectively. The SEM results shows that the surfaces are homogeneous, smooth, crack-free and dense. The refractive index was 1.776 at incident wave length 1.2 μm, the thickness 968 nm, and the growth rate 0.027 nm per pulse.

Pulsed Laser Deposition as a Tool for the Development of All Solid-State Microbatteries

All-solid-state lithium ion batteries (LIB) are currently the most promising technology for next generation electrochemical energy storage. Many efforts have been devoted in the past years to improve performance and safety of these devices. Nevertheless, issues regarding chemical and mechanical stability of the different components still hinder substantial improvements. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has proved to be an outstanding technique for the deposition of thin films of materials of interest for the fabrication of LIB. Thanks to its versatility and possible fine tuning of the thin film properties, PLD promises to be a very powerful tool for the fabrication of model systems which would allow to study in detail material properties and mechanisms contributing to LIB degradation. Nevertheless, PLD presents difficulties in the deposition of LIB components, mainly due to the presence of elements with large difference of atomic mass in their chemical composition. In this review, we report the main challenges and solution strategies used for the deposition through PLD of complex oxides thin films for LIB.

A Fast Deposition‐Crystallization Procedure for Highly Efficient Lead Iodide Perovskite Thin‐Film Solar Cells

Thin‐film photovoltaics based on alkylammonium lead iodide perovskite light absorbers have recently emerged as a promising low‐cost solar energy harvesting technology. To date, the perovskite layer in these efficient solar cells has generally been fabricated by either vapor deposition or a two‐step sequential deposition process. We report that flat, uniform thin films of this material can be deposited by a one‐step, solvent‐induced, fast crystallization method involving spin‐coating of a DMF solution of CH₃NH₃PbI₃ followed immediately by exposure to chlorobenzene to induce crystallization. Analysis of the devices and films revealed that the perovskite films consist of large crystalline grains with sizes up to microns. Planar heterojunction solar cells constructed with these solution‐processed thin films yielded an average power conversion efficiency of 13.9±0.7 % and a steady state efficiency of 13 % under standard AM 1.5 conditions.     

Recent Advances in Graphene-Based Materials for Zinc-Ion Batteries

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are a promising alternative for large-scale energy storage due to their advantages of environmental protection, low cost, and intrinsic safety. However, the utilization of their full potential is still hindered by the sluggish electrode reaction kinetics, poor structural stability, severe Zn dendrite growth, and narrow electrochemical stability window of the whole battery. Graphene-based materials with excellent physicochemical properties hold great promise for addressing the above challenges foe ZIBs. In this review, the energy storage mechanisms and challenges faced by ZIBs are first discussed. Key issues and recent progress in design strategies for graphene-based materials in optimizing the electrochemical performance of ZIBs (anode, cathode, electrolyte, separator and current collector) are then discussed. Finally, some potential challenges and future research directions of graphene-based materials in high-performance ZIBs are proposed for practical applications.     

Highly Reversible Zinc Metal Anode in a Dilute Aqueous Electrolyte Enabled by a pH Buffer Additive

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries have drawn increasing attention due to the intrinsic safety, cost-effectiveness and high energy density. However, parasitic reactions and non-uniform dendrite growth on the Zn anode side impede their application. Herein, a multifunctional additive, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (NHP), is introduced to regulate uniform zinc deposition and to suppress side reactions. The results show that the NH₄⁺ tends to be preferably absorbed on the Zn surface to form a “shielding effect” and blocks the direct contact of water with Zn. Moreover, NH₄⁺ and (H₂PO₄)⁻ jointly maintain pH values of the electrode-electrolyte interface. Consequently, the NHP additive enables highly reversible Zn plating/stripping behaviors in Zn//Zn and Zn//Cu cells. Furthermore, the electrochemical performances of Zn//MnO₂ full cells and Zn//active carbon (AC) capacitors are improved. This work provides an efficient and general strategy for modifying Zn plating/stripping behaviors and suppressing side reactions in mild aqueous electrolyte.     

Influencing Factors on Li-ion Conductivity and Interfacial Stability of Solid Polymer Electrolytes,Exampled by Polycarbonates,Polyoxalates and Polymalonates

The application of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) in all-solid-state(ASS) batteries is hindered by lower Li⁺-conductivity and narrower electrochemical window. Here, three families of ester-based F-modified SPEs of poly-carbonate (PCE), poly-oxalate (POE) and poly-malonate (PME) were investigated. The Li⁺-conductivity of these SPEs prepared from pentanediol are all higher than the counterparts made of butanediol, owing to the enhanced asymmetry and flexibility. Because of stronger chelating coordination with Li⁺, the Li⁺-conductivity of PME and POE is around 10 and 5 times of PCE. The trifluoroacetyl-units are observed more effective than −O−CH₂−CF₂−CF₂−CH₂−O− during the in situ passivation of Li-metal. Using trifluoroacetyl terminated POE and PCE as SPE, the interfaces with Li-metal and high-voltage-cathode are stabilized simultaneously, endowing stable cycling of ASS Li/LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2O₂ (NCM622) cells. Owing to an enol isomerization of malonate, the cycling stability of Li/PME/NCM622 is deteriorated, which is recovered with the introduce of dimethyl-group in malonate and the suppression of enol isomerization. The coordinating capability with Li⁺, molecular asymmetry and existing modes of elemental F, are all critical for the molecular design of SPEs.     

Self‐Assembled Regenerated Cellulose Spacer Film in Thin Film and Generator‐Collector Electrodes

Reconstituted cellulose spontaneously self‐assembles at surfaces from an alkaline cellulose solution (ca. 1 wt%, pH 14, prepared with an enzymatic method from wood pulp) into porous films with approximately 300 nm thickness per layer, for example onto immersed tin‐doped indium oxide (ITO) electrodes. Sequential multi‐layer deposition allows control over the thickness of the assembled films. The hydrophilic properties of the cellulose film electrodes are utilised here (i) as dip‐probe with capillary force picking up sample solution and (ii) as flow‐through generator‐collector probe, for example for future application in in situ chromatographic separation in end‐column detection with nano‐molar sensitivity.     

Water‐Assisted Vapor Deposition of PEDOT Thin Film

The synthesis and characterization of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) using water‐assisted vapor phase polymerization (VPP) and oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) are reported. For the VPP PEDOT, the oxidant, FeCl₃, is sublimated onto the substrate from a heated crucible in the reactor chamber and subsequently exposed to 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) monomer and water vapor in the same reactor. The oCVD PEDOT was produced by introducing the oxidant, EDOT monomer, and water vapor simultaneously to the reactor. The enhancement of doping and crystallinity is observed in the water‐assisted oCVD thin films. The high doping level observed at UV–vis–NIR spectra for the oCVD PEDOT, suggests that water acts as a solubilizing agent for oxidant and its byproducts. Although the VPP produced PEDOT thin films are fully amorphous, their conductivities are comparable with that of the oCVD produced ones.

Super‐Anticoagulant Heparin‐Mimicking Hydrogel Thin Film Attached Substrate Surfaces to Improve Hemocompatibility

In this study, heparin‐mimicking hydrogel thin films are covalently attached onto poly(ether sulfone) membrane surfaces to improve anticoagulant property. The hydrogel films display honeycomb‐like porous structure with well controlled thickness and show long‐term stability. After immobilizing the hydrogel films, the membranes show excellent anticoagulant property confirmed by the activated partial thromboplastin time values exceeding 600 s. Meanwhile, the thrombin time values increase from 20 to 61 s as the sodium allysulfonate proportions increase from 0 to 80 mol%. In vitro investigations of protein adsorption and blood‐related complement activation also confirm that the membranes exhibit super‐anticoagulant property. Furthermore, gentamycin sulfate is loaded into the hydrogel films, and the released drug shows significant inhibition toward E. coli bacteria. It is believed that the surface attached heparin‐mimicking hydrogel thin films may show high potential for the applications in various biological fields, such as blood contacting materials and drug loading materials.
