Highly Conductive, Lightweight, Low‐Tortuosity Carbon Frameworks as Ultrathick 3D Current Collectors

Advanced Energy Materials (2017)

Chaoji Chen Ying Zhang Yiju Li Yudi Kuang Jianwei Song

The growing demand for advanced energy storage techniques and devices has driven the energy storage market to strive for higher performance, longer cycling life, and better safety. Thick electrode design enabling more electroactive materials has the potential to significantly improve the energy density on device level yet faces major challenges of slow ion transport and high deformability. Here, inspired by natural wood materials with aligned channels along the tree growth direction, a highly conductive, lightweight, and low‐tortuosity carbon framework (CF) directly carbonized from natural wood as an ultrathick 3D current collector is demonstrated. Benefiting from the uniqueness of the multichanneled CF, an ultrathick 3D electrode of lithium iron phosphate filled carbon framework with a large thickness of 800 µm and active material mass loading of 60 mg cm −2 delivers a rational capacity of 7.6 mAh cm −2 (95 Ah L −1 based on volume), long cycling life, and lower deformability with enhanced mechanical properties. This work presents a design concept for thick electrode toward high performance energy storage devices that are not limited to lithium‐ion batteries.

Alternate heterogeneous superlattice control of lattice strain to stabilize Li-rich cathode

Energy & Environmental Science (2023)

Ying Zhang Xiaoyu Shi Shuanghao Zheng Yuguo Ouyang Mingrun Li

A strain-alleviating strategy was developed by creating a layered-spinel alternate heterostructure for LROs, resulting in a 3D channel for lithium-ion diffusion which was capable of reducing structural strain during the intercalation/deintercalation of Li + , thereby enhancing dynamic stability.

Ultrathin Surface Coating Enables the Stable Sodium Metal Anode

Advanced Energy Materials (2016)

Wei Luo Chuan‐Fu Lin Oliver Zhao Malachi Noked Ying Zhang

A stable Na metal anodeis is reported by forming an artificial solid electrolyte interphase via a low-temperature plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition technology. It is discovered that an ultrathin layer of Al2O3 layer (2.8 nm) can protect Na metal from electrolyte decomposition, prevent 3D dendrite formation, and significantly enhance its cycle stability in a carbonate-based electrolyte.

Regulation of 3d‐Transition Metal Interlayered Disorder by Appropriate Lithium Depletion for Li‐Rich Layered Oxide with Remarkably Enhanced Initial Coulombic Efficiency and Stability

Advanced Energy Materials (2022)

Ying Zhang Zhefeng Chen Xiaoyu Shi Caixia Meng Pratteek Das

Abstract Li‐rich materials are among the most promising cathode materials for lithium‐ion batteries thanks to their high specific capacity. However, they exhibit poor structural stability, resulting in low initial Coulombic efficiency and limited cycle stability. Herein, a long‐neglected Li‐deficient state is realized for a Co‐free lithium‐rich cathode through a facile calcination medium‐induced surface‐corrosion (CMISC) strategy for alleviating the aforementioned drawbacks. The as‐constructed Li‐deficient lithium‐rich cathode of Li 1.2‐σ Mn 0.6 Ni 0.2 O 2 ( d ‐LMNO) exhibits an enhanced capacity of 272 mAh g −1 , improved initial efficiency of 84.5%, and cycle stability with 82.0% retention over 200 cycles. In addition, multiple in situ and ex situ investigations confirm the appropriate lithium depletion regulated 3 d ‐transition metal interlayered disorder, resulting in excellent structural reversibility of d ‐LMNO. Also, theory simulations suggest that the crystal structure with Li‐defects has lower energy and Li‐diffusion energy barrier when the coordination interlayer 3 d ‐metal has more Ni closer to the diffused Li, meaning less interlayered disorder. And the migration of Li close to the vacancy is dominated by a tetrahedral site hopping path in the presence of additional vacancies around the Li vacancy, which has a low migration energy barrier. Moreover, similar results achieved in Co‐containing Li‐rich cathodes further demonstrate the universality of this simple CMISC strategy, exhibiting great potential for performance improvement and applicability.

A smart risk-responding polymer membrane for safer batteries

Science Advances (2023)

Ying Zhang Le Yu Xu‐Dong Zhang Yahui Wang Chunpeng Yang

Safety concerns related to the abuse operation and thermal runaway are impeding the large-scale employment of high-energy-density rechargeable lithium batteries. Here, we report that by incorporating phosphorus-contained functional groups into a hydrocarbon-based polymer, a smart risk-responding polymer is prepared for effective mitigation of battery thermal runaway. At room temperature, the polymer is (electro)chemically compatible with electrodes, ensuring the stable battery operation. Upon thermal accumulation, the phosphorus-containing radicals spontaneously dissociate from the polymer skeleton and scavenge hydrogen and hydroxyl radicals to terminate the exothermic chain reaction, suppressing thermal generation at an early stage. With the smart risk-responding strategy, we demonstrate extending the time before thermal runaway for a 1.8-Ah Li-ion pouch cell by 100% (~9 hours) compared with common cells, creating a critical time window for safety management. The temperature-triggered automatic safety-responding strategy will improve high-energy-density battery tolerance against thermal abuse risk and pave the way to safer rechargeable batteries.

Crystallographic Manipulation Strategies toward Reversible Zn Anode with Orientational Deposition

Advanced Energy Materials (2024)

Xianzhong Yang Zixing Dong Gao Weng Yiwen Su Jiawen Huang

Abstract The reversibility and sustainability of Zn anode are greatly hampered by the dendrite growth and side reactions. Orientational deposition, which allows the assembly of Zn deposits in a highly ordered and compact manner, offers a solution to these issues by enabling dendrite‐free Zn anodes. Moreover, Zn orientational deposition can effectively inhibit side reaction by reducing the exposed surface area of the electrode. Despite significant progress in the field of Zn orientational deposition, there is still a lack of clear guidelines for regulating the orientation, and the underlying mechanisms remain rather elusive. Therefore, a comprehensive review is urgently needed to provide a mechanistic insight into Zn orientational deposition. This review summarizes the burgeoning strategies for steering Zn orientational deposition, categorizing the corresponding mechanisms into five aspects: heteroepitaxial deposition, homoepitaxial deposition, interfacial cultivation, crystal facet anchoring, and current density regulation. The distinct advantages and limitations of each mechanism in controlling the growth orientation are discussed in detail. Finally, the challenges and future trends pertaining to Zn orientational deposition are envisaged, aiming in essence to realize highly reversible Zn anodes and ultimately bridge the gap between reality and ideal in aqueous Zn‐ion batteries.
