LiNiMnO (LNMO) with a spinel structure is one of the most promising cathode materials choices for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, at a high operating voltages, the decomposition of organic electrolytes and the dissolution of transition metals, especially Mn(II) ions, cause unsatisfactory cycle stability. The initial application of a sodium alginate (SA)-xylan biopolymer as an aqueous binder aims to address the aforementioned problems. The SX28-LNMO electrode has a sizable discharge capacity, exceptional rate capability, and long-term cyclability with a capacity retention of 99.8% after 450 cycles at 1 and a remarkable rate capability of 121 mAh g even at 10. A more thorough investigation illustrated that SX28 binder provides a substantial adhesion property and generates a uniform (CEI) layer on the LNMO surface, suppressing electrolytes' oxidative decomposition upon cycling and improving LIB performances. This work highlights the potential of hemicellulose as an aqueous binder for 5.0 V high-voltage cathodes.

LiNiMnO (LNMO) is considered one of the most promising cathode materials for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, free-radical-induced carbonate electrolyte decomposition is a key factor hindering the improvement of battery stability. Inspired by the antioxidative properties of ascorbic acid (AA) in scavenging free radicals, the addition of AA during the electrode fabrication process can effectively terminate free radical chain reactions within the cycling of LNMO.

Efforts to improve the energy density and cycling stability of lithium-ion batteries have focused on replacing LiCoO in cathodes with LiNiMnCoO. However, reliance on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) as the binder limits the application of the LiNiMnCoO composite electrode for lithium-ion batteries. Here, we evaluate the electrochemical properties of a LiNiMnCoO (NMC111) powder electrode formed using a waterborne-styrene-acrylic-rubber (SAR) latex binder combined with sodium carboxymethylcellulose.

Halide solid electrolytes (SEs) are attracting great attention, owing to their high ionic conductivity and excellent high-voltage compatibility. However, severe moisture sensitivity, poor thermal stability, and instability at the lithium metal anode interface with chloride and bromide SEs retard their applications in solid-state lithium metal batteries. Fluoride SEs are expected to solve these problems, but they are now plagued by inadequate room-temperature (RT) ionic conductivity.

Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) face with the challenge of interphase passivation between electrolytes and Mg anodes. Compared with ether electrolytes, carbonate solvents possess the superior electrochemical stability at cathode side, but their incompatibility with Mg metal, high viscosity, and desolvation energy barrier restrict their practical utilization in RMBs. Herein, the "unwanted-impurity" water with high concentration is revisited and employed as multifunctional additive in carbonate electrolyte to improve the reversibility of RMBs.

As great potential recycling strategy, the direct regeneration of spent LiCoO (LCO) is beneficial for lowering environmental pollutions and promoting global sustainability. However, owing to the using of binder and electrolyte, some fluorine impurities would be remained into spent materials. Considering the doping behaviors of F-elements, their suitable content introducing would facilitate the energy-storage abilities of regenerated LCO.
