The group "beyond Li-ion" batteries (Na/Mg-ion batteries) have the advantages of abundant reserves and high theoretical specific capacity. However, the sluggish kinetics resulting from large ion radius (Na) and polarity (Mg) seriously limit the battery performance. Herein, we prepared Nb-doped anatase TiO with Ti vacancies (Nb-TiO) through a simple solvothermal and subsequent calcination process. The Nb doping widens the channels for metal ion diffusion, and the cationic vacancies can act as ion storage sites and improve the electrode conductivity. Thus, Nb-TiO exhibits improved performance for rechargeable Na/Mg-ion batteries.

Electric vehicles (EVs) rely heavily on lithium-ion battery packs as essential energy storage components. However, inconsistencies in cell characteristics and operating conditions can lead to imbalanced state of charge (SOC) levels, resulting in reduced capacity and accelerated degradation. This study presents an active cell balancing method optimized for both charging and discharging scenarios, aiming to equalize SOC across cells and improve overall pack performance.

Advancement of sulfur (S) cathode of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is hindered by issues such as insulating nature of sulfur, sluggish redox kinetics, polysulfide dissolution and shuttling. To address these issues, we initiate a study on applying an important amino acid of protein, arginine (Arg), as a functional additive into S cathodes. Based on our simulation study, the positively charged Arg facilitates strong interactions with polysulfides.
