Solid electrolyte materials are crucial for the development of high-energy-density all-solid-state batteries (ASSB) using a nonflammable electrolyte. In order to retain a low lithium-ion transfer resistance, fast lithium ion conducting solid electrolytes are required. We report on the novel superionic conductor Li AlP which is easily synthesised from the elements via ball-milling and subsequent annealing at moderate temperatures and which is characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. This representative of the novel compound class of lithium phosphidoaluminates has, as an undoped material, a remarkable fast ionic conductivity of 3 mS cm and a low activation energy of 29 kJ mol as determined by impedance spectroscopy. Temperature-dependent Li NMR spectroscopy supports the fast lithium motion. In addition, Li AlP combines a very high lithium content with a very low theoretical density of 1.703 g cm . The distribution of the Li atoms over the diverse crystallographic positions between the [AlP ] tetrahedra is analyzed by means of DFT calculations.

Micro-sized silicon (µSi) anodes are an attractive alternative to graphite for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their low cost and high specific capacity. However, they suffer from severe volume expansion during lithiation, leading to fast capacity decay and poor rate capability. Herein, a new hybrid binder featuring a cross-linked conductive network and multiple hydrogen bonds for µSi anodes with high areal capacity is reported.

Fast-charging lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the key to solving the range anxiety of electric vehicles. However, the lack of separators with high Li transportation rates has become a major bottleneck, restricting their development. In this work, the electrochemical performance of traditional polyethylene separators was enhanced by coating AlO nanoparticles with a novel green binder.

The electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NORR) involves multiple hydrogenation and deoxygenation steps, which compete with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Therefore, NORR driven in acidic media is challenging in spite of advantageous fast hydrogen transfers in its elementary steps. The findings presented in this article first demonstrate that the NORR is significantly activated even in acidic lithium nitrate solutions at LiNO concentrations exceeding 6 m on a Pt electrode (the highly effective catalyst for HER) by the formation of a "hydronium-in-salt" electrolyte (HISE), a new type of aqueous high concentration salt electrolyte.

Silicon (Si) anodes have long been recognized to significantly improve the energy density and fast-charging capability of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the implementation of these anodes in commercial LIB cells has progressed incrementally due to the immense volume change of Si across its full state-of-charge (SOC) range. Here, we report an anode-tailored full-cell design (ATFD), which incorporates micrometer-sized silicon (μ-Si) alone, for operation over a limited, prespecified SOC range identified as 30-70%.
