A sulfide-based SEI layer was formed on the surface of a LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode by using a sulfolane-carbonate mixed solvent electrolyte, which led to an improvement in the electrochemical performance. Moreover, the thermal stability of the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode was also significantly improved in the presence of the SEI layer. ARC (Accelerating Rate Calorimetry) tests showed that the self-heating rate of the delithiated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 material in the sulfolane-carbonate electrolyte was suppressed.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for symmetrical supercapacitors are proposed herein with activated carbon as electrodes and optimized solid polymer electrolyte membranes, which serve as the separators and electrolytes. We propose the design of a low-cost solid polymer electrolyte consisting of guanidinium nitrate (GuN) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). Using the solution casting approach, blended polymer electrolytes with varying GuN weight percentage ratios of PVP and PEO are prepared.

This study investigates the electrochemical degradation mechanisms of nickel-salen (NiSalen) polymers, with a focus on improving the material's stability in supercapacitor applications. We analyzed the effects of steric hindrance near the nickel center by incorporating different bulky substituents into NiSalen complexes, aiming to mitigate water-induced degradation. Electrochemical performance was assessed using cyclic voltammetry, operando conductance, and impedance measurements, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) provided insights into molecular degradation pathways.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are promising candidates for next-generation energy storage due to their high energy density, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. However, their commercialization is hindered by challenges, such as the polysulfide shuttle effect, lithium dendrite growth, and low electrical conductivity of sulfur cathodes. Cellulose, a natural, renewable, and versatile biopolymer, has emerged as a multifunctional material to address these issues.

Local electrochemical deposition (LECD) is an innovative additive manufacturing technology capable of achieving precise deposition of metallic microstructures. This study delves into the ramifications of pivotal operational parameters-namely, the initial electrode gap, deposition voltage, and additive concentration-on the morphology of zinc microcolumns fabricated through LECD. A holistic approach integrating experimental methodologies with finite element simulations was adopted to scrutinize the influence of these variables on the microcolumns' dimensions, surface morphology, and structural integrity.
