The extreme fast-charging capability of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is very essential for electric vehicles (EVs). However, currently used graphite anode materials cannot satisfy the requirements of fast charging. Herein, we demonstrate that intrinsic lattice defect engineering based on a thermal treatment of graphite in CO is an effective method to improve the fast-charging capability of the graphite anode. The activated graphite (AG) exhibits a superior rate capability of 209 mAh g at 10 C (in comparison to 15 mAh g for the pristine graphite), which is attributed to a pseudocapacitive lithium storage behavior. Furthermore, the full cell LiFePO||AG can achieve SOCs of 82% and 96% within 6 and 15 min, respectively. The intrinsic carbon defect introduced by the CO treatment succeeds in improving the kinetics of lithium ion intercalation at the rate-determining step during lithiation, which is identified by the distribution of relaxation times (DRT) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Therefore, this study provides a novel strategy for fast-charging LIBs. Moreover, this facile method is also suitable for activating other carbon-based materials.

An all-vanadium-based lithium-ion full battery is successfully assembled with hierarchical micro-nano yolk-shell structures VO and VO as the cathode and anode, which were obtained through a facile solvothermal method with heat treatment under different atmospheres. When used as the cathode of the lithium-ion battery, the hierarchical micro-nano yolk-shell VO demonstrated higher capacities than bulk VO, commercial LiFePO, and LiNiCoMnO cathodes at various current densities. The all-vanadium-based lithium-ion full battery shows good cycle performance at 0.

BiS holds immense potential to be promoted as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), owing to the high theoretical gravimetric and volumetric capacities. However, the poor electrical conductivity and volume expansion during cycling hinder the practical applications of BiS. Therefore, through subsequent heat treatment, the nitrogen-doped carbon film was successfully loaded on the nanosphere BiS, which we call nitrogen-rich carbon layer-coated BiS (NC@BiS).

Tellurides are promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their high electronic conductivity and energy density. However, the slow kinetics and poor structural stability lead to decreased electrochemical performance. In this work, by utilizing the interface magnetization mechanism and assembly effect, high-performance CoTe nanoparticles encapsulated hierarchical N-doped porous carbon nanofibers were rationally designed and prepared (ES-CoTe@NC) via facile tellurization of one-dimensional (1D) ZIF-67 nanocube assemblies.

Biological system utilizes unidirectional ion flow to produce and transmit signals. To realize bioinspired artificial intelligence and thus seamless human-machine interaction, ion rectification devices should be developed. Here, a reconfigurable CMOS-compatible supercapacitor-diode (CAPode) is developed by resettling the pseudo-capacitive and electrochemical-double-layer-capacitive components of a lithium-ion pseudocapacitor into the positive and negative voltage regions respectively through engineering the redox peaks.
