LiFePO4 thin film cathodes are deposited on various transparent conducting oxide thin films on glass, which are used as cathode current collectors. The XRD patterns show that the thin films have the phase of LiFePO4 with an ordered olivine structure indexed to the orthorhombic Pmna space group. LiFePO4 thin film deposited on various TCO glass substrates exhibits transmittance of about 53%. The initial specific discharge capacities of LiFePO4 thin films are 25.0 μAh/cm2 x μm on FTO, 33.0 μAh/cm2 x μm on ITO, and 13.0 μAh/cm2 x μm on AZO coated glass substrates. Interestingly, the retention capacities of LiFePO4 thin films are 76.0% on FTO, 31.2% on ITO, and 37.7% on AZO coated glass substrates at 20th cycle. The initial specific discharge capacity of the LiFePO4/FTO electrode is slightly lower, but the discharge capacities of the LiFePO4/FTO electrode relatively decrease less than those of the others such as LiFePO4/ITO and LiFePO4/AZO with cycling. The results reported here provide the high transparency of LiFePO4 thin films cathode materials and the good candidate as FTO current collector of the LiFePO4 thin film cathode of transparent thin film rechargeable batteries due to its high transparency and cyclic retention.

Designing current collectors and constructing efficient artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers are promising strategies for achieving dendrite-free Li deposition and practical applications in Li metal batteries (LMBs). Electrodeposition is advantageous for large-scale production and allows the direct formation of current collectors without binders, making them immediately usable as electrodes. In this study, an adherent CuS thin-layer on Cu foil is synthesized through anodic electrodeposition from a NaS solution in a one-step process, followed by the generation of LiS layers as artificial SEI layers via a conversion reaction (3DLiS-Cu foil).

Lithium (Li) metal is regarded as the most promising anode for next-generation batteries with high energy density. However, the uncontrolled dendrite growth and infinite volume expansion during cycling seriously hinder the application of Li metal batteries (LMBs). Herein, an inorganic/organic protective layer (labeled as BPH), composed of in situ formed inorganic constituents and PVDF-HFP, is designed on the 3D carbon paper (CP) surface by hot-dipping method.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers introduce NiFeO nanosheets into a polyethylene oxide (PEO) matrix to create a vertically aligned composite electrolyte, addressing the issues of low ionic conductivity and poor interface compatibility in traditional setups.
  • The alignment of the NFO nanosheets forms specialized channels that improve lithium ion transportation and enhance the efficiency of lithium salt dissociation, leading to better ionic conductivity.
  • The resulting ANFO-PEO composite solid-state electrolytes demonstrate impressive performance, including high ionic conductivity and excellent cycling stability in lithium cells, making them promising for future energy storage applications.

Utilization of thin Li metal is the ultimate pathway to achieving practical high-energy-density Li metal batteries (LMBs), but its practical implementation has been significantly impeded by formidable challenges of poor thinning processability, severe interphase instability and notorious dendritic Li growth. Here we report a practical thin (10-40 μm) Li/Mo/LiSe with concurrently modulated interphase and mechanical properties, achieved via a scalable mechanical rolling process. The in situ generated LiSe and Mo not only enhance the mechanical strength enabling the scalable fabrication of thin Li metal, but also promote homogeneous Li electrodeposition.

Lithium (Li) metal anode (LMA) is one of the most promising anodes for high energy density batteries. However, its practical application is impeded by notorious dendrite growth and huge volume expansion. Although the three-dimensional (3D) host can enhance the cycling stability of LMA, further improvements are still necessary to address the key factors limiting Li plating/stripping behavior.
