The crystal structure and dielectric properties of slowly cooled A-site-deficient perovskites Li(x)Sr(x)La(2/3-x)□(1/3-x)TiO(3) (0.04 ≤ x ≤ 0.33) have been investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), impedance spectroscopy, and (7)Li NMR techniques. In this series, nominal vacancies decrease with Li content, but the total amount of A-site vacancies, n(t) = Li + □, participating in conduction processes remains basically constant. Rietveld analysis of the XRD patterns showed a change of symmetry from orthorhombic to tetragonal when the lithium and strontium contents increased above x = 0.08 and from tetragonal to cubic above x = 0.16. Structural modifications are mainly due to the cation vacancy ordering along the c axis, which disappear gradually when the lithium content increases. In agreement with the structural information, two lithium signals with different quadrupole constants are detected in (7)Li NMR spectra of orthorhombic/tetragonal phases, which have been associated with lithium in two crystallographic z/c = 0 and 1/2 planes of perovskites. In cubic samples, only a single narrow component, indicative of mobile species, was detected. Lithium motion was thermally activated, with activation energies going from 0.35 to 0.38 eV. Evolution of the bulk dc-conductivity preexponential factors along the series showed a maximum that has been first related to the dependence of lithium hopping on the lithium and vacancy concentrations. Finally, changes in the vacancy ordering, produced along the series, affect the dimensionality of the conductivity, indicating that not only the amount of vacancies but also its distribution are relevant.

The energy density of layered oxides of Li-ion batteries can be enhanced by inducing oxygen redox through replacing transition metal (TM) ions with Li ions in the TM layer. Undesirably, the cathodes always suffer from unfavorable structural degradation, which is closely associated with irreversible TM migration and slab gliding, resulting in continuous capacity and voltage decay. Herein, attention is paid to the Li ions in the TM layer (Li) and find their extra effects beyond inducing oxygen redox, which has been rarely mentioned.

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.
