While sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) hold great promise for large-scale electric energy storage and low speed electric vehicles, the poor capacity retention of the cathode is one of the bottlenecks in the development of SIBs. Following a strategy of using lithium doping in the transition-metal layer to stabilize the desodiated structure, we have designed and successfully synthesized a novel layered oxide cathode P2-NaLiFeMnO, which demonstrated a high capacity of 190 mAh g and a remarkably high capacity retention of ∼87% after 80 cycles within a wide voltage range of 1.5-4.5 V. The outstanding stability is attributed to the reversible migration of lithium during cycling and the elimination of the detrimental P2-O2 phase transition, revealed by ex situ and in situ X-ray diffraction and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

The agricultural sector of any country plays a pivotal role in its economy. Irrigation and the provision of appropriate nutrient levels in soil are essential for optimizing plant growth and enhancing crop productivity. To support the increasing need for food due to the growing population worldwide, synthetic fertilizers have been widely used in the agricultural sector.

This work develops 1,1'-oxalyldiimidazole (ODI) as a functional electrolyte additive. This film-forming additive improves the wide range of temperature and rate performances of LiNiCoMnO/graphite (NCM811) batteries. After 1200 cycles at room temperature (25 °C), the discharge capacity retention rate is 51.

The conventional carbonization process for synthesizing hard carbons (HCs) requires high-temperature furnace operations exceeding 1000 °C, leading to excessive energy consumption and lengthy processing times, which necessitates the exploration of more efficient synthesis methods. This study demonstrates the rapid preparation of HC anodes using intense pulsed light (IPL)-assisted photothermal carbonization without the prolonged and complex operations typical of traditional carbonization methods. A composite film of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is carbonized at high temperatures in less than 1 min.
