Silicon core-hollow carbon shell nanocomposites with controllable voids between silicon nanoparticles and hollow carbon shell were easily synthesized by a two-step coating method and exhibited different charge-discharge cyclability as anodes for lithium-ion batteries. The best capacity retention can be achieved with a void/Si volume ratio of approx. 3 due to its appropriate volume change tolerance and maintenance of good electrical contacts.

Phosphorus is considered an ideal anode material for lithium ion storage by virtue of its high theoretical capacity and moderate lithiation potential. However, issues such as large volume expansion of phosphorus leading to an electrical loss of contact and instability of the solid electrolyte interface hinder its practical performance. Improvement strategies that can effectively suppress volume expansion and provide stable electrical contacts are urgently needed.

Ion encapsulation by solvent molecules significantly impacts ion transport and the adsorption mechanism in energy storage devices. The aim of this investigation is to analyse the adsorption mechanisms associated with the solvation shell of lithium ions near the electrode/electrolyte interface during the charging process. Simulations using molecular dynamics (MD) are conducted for LiPF salt in PC solvent confined in between two flat carbon electrodes.

This study investigates the electrochemical performance, stability, and decomposition mechanisms of fluorine-based electrolytes in large-scale cylindrical Ni-rich lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) under high-voltage conditions (up to 4.8 V). We examine fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and di-fluoroethylene carbonate (DFEC) in electrolyte formulations and their effects on battery longevity, gas evolution, and solvation dynamics.

Inhibition of demetalation due to electrochemical dissolution of metal active centers is a major challenge for the real-world commercialization of transition metals and nitrogen co-doped carbon (MNC) material catalysts. This research utilized a microchannel reactor to synthesize zeolitic imidazolate framework-8@zeolitic imidazolate framework-67, resulting in a CoZn/ZnNC material produced through a core-shell pyrolysis strategy. Direct synergistic interaction of CoZn alloy nanoparticles and ZnNC improves the activity and durability of the oxygen reduction reaction.
