We studied the local structure and the Li ion dynamics in electrochemically and chemically prepared Li(4+x)Ti(5)O(12) with x = 0…5. We used magic-angle spinning (7)Li NMR on samples with different Li contents to investigate the sites that are occupied/emptied during Li insertion/removal. While the electrochemical measurements show a lithium insertion in two steps, 1D MAS NMR as a function of the lithium content shows that the overall spectral evolution observed during lithium insertion is inverted during lithium removal. Thereby the second insertion step is associated with an increased structural disorder. For samples with x = 0, 2, 3, and about 5, we performed temperature-dependent measurements of the (7)Li NMR relaxation rates T(1)(-1), T(2)(-1), and T(1ρ)(-1) to study the dynamics of the Li ions. For the samples with x = 0, 2, and 3, activation energies of (0.45 ± 0.1)eV were obtained. The highest mobility of the Li ions is observed for the samples with x = 2 and 3. Results from (6)Li and (7)Li 2D exchange MAS NMR spectroscopy on samples with x = 2 and 4 show that magnetization transfer for (7)Li below 323K is dominated by spin diffusion.

MOFs-like polyoxometalate (POMs) electrodes, harvesting combined advantages of interlocking porosity and multi-electron transfer reaction, have already emerged as promising candidates for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), yet the origins of the underlying redox mechanism in such materials remain a matter of uncertainty. Of critical challenges are the anomalously high storage capacities beyond their theoretical values and the fast ion diffusivity that cannot be satisfactorily comprehended in the theory of crystal lattice. Herein, for the first time we decode t electron occupation-regulated dual-redox Li-storage mechanism as the true origin of extra capacity in POMs electrodes.

Si-based anodes can increase specific energy and energy density of Li ion batteries. However, the volume-induced material stress and capacity loss necessitates only a partial Si utilization within composite anodes, typically with state-of-the-art graphite, so called Si/Gr composites. In this work, various Si nanowires (SiNWs), a promising Si architecture for these composites, are investigated and modified via pre-lithiation.

Solid-state electrolytes with high ionic conductivity will be crucial for future energy storage systems. Among many possible materials, thiophosphates offer both favourable mechanical properties and fast ionic transport. β-LiPS, as a member of the thiophosphate family, has gained recent attention, due to its remarkable increase in Li ionic conductivity when prepared solvent-assisted synthesis.

Advancing electrochemical energy storage devices relies on versatile analytical tools capable of revealing the molecular mechanisms behind the function and degradation of battery materials . The nuclear magnetic resonance phenomenon plays a pivotal role in fundamental studies of energy materials and devices because of its exceptional sensitivity to local environments and the dynamics of many electrochemically relevant elements. The jelly roll architecture is one of the most energy-dense and, therefore, most popular concepts implemented in pouch, prismatic, and cylindrical Li- and Na-ion cells.
