AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The energy landscape of the fast-ion conductor BiVO is studied using density functional theory. There are a large number of energy minima, dominated by low-lying thermally accessible configurations in which there are equal numbers of oxygen vacancies in each vanadium-oxygen layer, a range of vanadium coordinations and a large variation in Bi-O and V-O distances. By dividing local minima in the energy landscape into sets of configurations, we then examine diffusion in each different layer using molecular dynamics. These simulations show that the diffusion mechanism mainly takes place in the 〈110〉 directions in the vanadium layers, involving the cooperative motion of the oxide ions between the O(2) and O(3) sites in these layers, but not O(1) in the Bi-O layers, in agreement with experiment. O(1) vacancies in the Bi-O layers are readily filled by the migration of oxygens from the V-O layers. The calculated ionic conductivity is in reasonable agreement with the experiment. We compare ion conduction in δ-BiVO with that in δ-BiO. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'Understanding fast-ion conduction in solid electrolytes'.

Developing next generation batteries necessitates a paradigm shift in the way to engineering solutions for materials challenges. In comparison to traditional organic liquid batteries, all-solid-state batteries exhibit some significant advantages such as high safety and energy density, yet solid electrolytes face challenges in responding dimensional changes of electrodes driven by mass transport. Herein, the critical mechanical parameters affecting battery cycling duration are evaluated based on Spearman rank correlation coefficient, decoupling them into strength, ductility, stiffness, toughness, elasticity, etc.

Enlarging the interlayer structure of MXenes has been proven to be an effective strategy for enhancing the speed and efficiency of ion transport in assembled MXene-based battery electrodes. However, the expanded interlayer space will inevitably lead to decreased interlayer conductivity because of the insufficient internal contact between isolated monolayered MXenes. Herein, the "rapid electron/ion bi-continuous-transport channels" are achieved by vertically growing N-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) into the interlamination to bridge multilayered MXenes.

As a promising solution for solid-state batteries with high energy density and safety, understanding the mechanism of fast ion conduction in polymer-ceramic composite solid-state electrolytes (CSEs) is still a challenging task. Herein, we understand the enhanced ion conduction in CSEs using a series of ionic spectra. Ionic insight is extended to ion conduction in CSEs, resolving the mechanism of fast ion migration.
