Fast lithium-ion diffusion is very important to obtain high capacity and excellent cycling stability of lithium-sulfur batteries. In this study, a copolymer micelle crosslinked binder (FNA) for lithium-sulfur batteries was successfully synthesized through a one-pot environmentally friendly approach. The micelles were used as crosslinkers and carriers for the electrolyte. The FNA binder provided multiple lithium-ion diffusion pathways to increase the lithium-ion diffusion, which reduced the polarization of the sulfur cathode during the cycling process. The lithium-ion diffusion pathways of the FNA were provided by the electrolyte hosted in the micelles, the polyethylene oxide and polypropylene oxide segments, and the carboxylate and sulfonate groups in the FNA. In addition, FNA possesses strong lithium polysulfides adsorption and high adhesion properties. Therefore, the electrode with the FNA binder presented a reversible capacity of 571 mAh g with a capacity fade of 0.032 % after 1000 cycles at a cycling rate of 0.5 C, which is much higher than those of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) sulfur cathode.

Further improvements to lithium-ion and emerging battery technologies can be enabled by an improved understanding of the chemistry and working mechanisms of interphases that form at electrochemically active battery interfaces. However, it is difficult to collect and interpret spectra of interphases for several reasons, including the presence of a variety of compounds. To address this challenge, we herein present a vibrational spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction data library of ten compounds that have been identified as interphase constituents in lithium-ion or emerging battery chemistries.

Direct regeneration of spent lithium-ion batteries offers economic benefits and a reduced CO2 footprint. Surface prelithiation, particularly through the molten salt method, is critical in enhancing spent cathode repair during high-temperature annealing. However, the sluggish Li+ transport kinetics, which relies on thermally driven processes in the traditional molten salt methods, limit the prelithiation efficiency and regeneration of spent cathodes.

Owing to its abundant manganese source, high operating voltage, and good ionic diffusivity attributed to its 3D Li-ion diffusion channels. Spinel LiMnO is considered a promising low-cost positive electrode material in the context of reducing scarce elements such as cobalt and nickel from advanced lithium-ion batteries. However, the rapid capacity degradation and inadequate rate capabilities induced by the Jahn-Teller distortion and the manganese dissolution have limited the large-scale adoption of spinel LiMnO for decades.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the impressive lithium ionic conductivity achieved using graphene oxide laminar membranes, which significantly exceeds that of traditional lithium-ion electrolytes.
- At 170 mS cm, the nanoconfined lithium electrolyte demonstrates extraordinary performance, maintaining useful conductivity even at extremely low temperatures.
- The findings suggest that the enhanced ion transport is due to unique layer distribution effects in the nanochannels, potentially revolutionizing energy storage technologies by integrating these channels into lithium battery components.

Electrode material capacities and cycle performances must improve for large-scale applications such as energy storage systems. Numerous investigations have developed cathode materials to improve lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) performance: however, few have examined new anode materials. In this study, we synthesized a Ni-B/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composites via a simple chemical reaction method to enhance the stability of electrodes in LIBs.
