The structure of electrolyte solutions plays an important role in the lithium-ion intercalation reaction at graphite negative electrodes. The solvation structure of an electrolyte solution in bulk has been investigated previously. However, the structure of an electrolyte solution at the graphite negative electrode/electrolyte solution interface, where the lithium-ion intercalation reaction occurs is more important. In this study, the structure of electrolyte solutions in the vicinity of a graphite negative electrode was investigated using in situ Raman spectroscopy during the 1st reduction process in 1 mol dm LiClO/ethylene carbonate (EC) + diethyl carbonate (DEC) (1 : 1 volume ratio), 1 mol dm LiCFSO/propylene carbonate (PC), and 1 mol dm LiCFSO/PC + tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (tetraglyme) (20 : 1 volume ratio). As a result, in the electrolyte solutions in which the lithium-ion intercalation reaction can occur (LiClO/EC + DEC and LiCFSO/PC + tetraglyme), the Raman spectra of free solvent molecules (EC or PC) and anions showed a positive vibrational frequency shift during the co-intercalation reaction, and these shifts returned to their original positions during the lithium-ion intercalation reaction. On the other hand, there is no vibrational frequency shift in LiCFSO/PC, an electrolyte in which the lithium-ion intercalation reaction cannot occur. Based on our results, the relationship between the Raman shift and the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation process was discussed.

High-value recycling of photovoltaic waste graphite (WG) is an effective path to achieve "carbon neutrality". However, the current most adopted methods are landfilling, incineration and leaching, which can lead to undesirable environmental contamination and waste of resources. Here, an energy-efficient and high-value flash recycling strategy is developed in which photovoltaic WG is converted to high-capacity and high-rate graphite anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in milliseconds.

Graphdiyne (GDY), which is composed of benzene rings and acetylene linkage units, is a new allotrope of carbon material. In particular, the large triangular pores of GDY, with a diameter of 5.4 Å, theoretically predict a higher lithium embedding density than traditional graphite anodes, making it a promising candidate for energy storage materials in lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.

A sustainable supply of lithium from salt-lake brines is necessary due to the surge in demand of the lithium-battery market. However, the presence of coexisting ions, particularly Na, poses a significant challenge due to the similarities in charge, electronic structure, and hydrated size. The electrochemical system with manganese (Mn)-based lithium-ion (Li) sieves electrodes is a promising method for Li recovery, but often suffers from geometric configuration distortion, which reduces their selectivity and capacity.

Designing spent graphite anodes from lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for applications beyond regenerated batteries offers significant potential for promoting the recycling of spent LIBs. The battery-grade graphite, characterized by a highly graphitized structure, demonstrates excellent conductive loss capabilities, making it suitable for microwave absorption. During the Li-ion intercalation and deintercalation processes in battery operation, the surface layer of spent graphite (SG) becomes activated, forming oxygen-rich functional groups that enhance the polarization loss mechanism.

Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) have attracted significant attention in recent years as a result of the urgent necessity to develop sustainable, low-cost batteries based on non-critical raw materials that are competitive with market-available lithium-ion batteries. KIBs are excellent candidates, as they offer the possibility of providing high power and energy densities due to their faster K diffusion and very close reduction potential compared with Li/Li. However, research on KIBs is still in its infancy, and hence, more investigation is required both at the materials level and at the device level.
