AI Article Synopsis

  • NCM622 is a special material used in powerful batteries, but it has some problems that make it hard to use widely.
  • By coating it with TiO-LiF in one simple step, the performance of NCM622 can be improved so that it lasts longer.
  • The coated NCM622 keeps almost 80% of its power after many uses, which is better than the regular version that only keeps about 69%.

Artificial Graphite-Based Silicon Composite Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Chemical, Biological and Battery Engineering, Gachon University, Seongnam-si 13120, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.

To develop an advanced anode for lithium-ion batteries, the electrochemical performance of a novel material comprising a porous artificial carbon (PAC)-Si composite was investigated. To increase the pore size and surface area of the composite, ammonium bicarbonate (ABC) was introduced during high-energy ball-milling, ensuring a uniform distribution of silicon within the PAC matrix. The physical and structural properties of the developed material were evaluated using several advanced techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and galvanostatic intermittent titration (GITT).

Rare earth elements, characterized by their high-energy d-shell and f-shell electrons, large charge density, and substantial atomic radius, theoretically offer enhanced electronic states near the Fermi level. Doping rare earth elements into electrode materials can improve the internal electronic conductivity of the material. However, there are relatively few studies and reports on the mechanisms of rare earth elements in optimizing LiNiCoMnO (NCM) materials.

October 2024

Department of Battery and Chemical Engineering, Changwon National University, Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do 51140, Republic of Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • - The use of lithium-ion batteries has surged, resulting in a growing number of spent batteries that pose significant environmental hazards due to abandoned cathode materials.
  • - Research reveals that a specific microorganism enhances the breakdown of spent LiNiCoMnO (NCM622) cathodes, leading to about 59% dissolution of pristine and 78% of spent material under low-oxygen conditions.
  • - The study indicates that microbial respiration not only affects the dissolution of harmful metals like Li, Ni, Co, and Mn but also suggests a potential method for sustainable recovery of valuable materials from discarded batteries through bioleaching.

Polar groups promoting in-situ polymerization phase separation for solid electrolytes enabling solid-state lithium batteries.

J Colloid Interface Sci

January 2025

College of Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, International Joint Research Center for Molecular Science, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518060, PR China. Electronic address:

Plastic-crystal-embedded elastomer electrolytes (PCEEs), produced through polymerization-induced phase separation (PIPS), are gaining popularity as solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs). However, it remains to be investigated whether all monomer molecules can achieve polymerization-induced phase separation and the corresponding differences in lithium metal battery performance. Herein, we prepared PCEEs with different functional groups (OH, CN, F) through in situ polymerization.

Approaching Ultimate Synthesis Reaction Rate of Ni-Rich Layered Cathodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Nanomicro Lett

June 2024

School of Materials Science and Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin, 300072, People's Republic of China.

Nickel-rich layered oxide LiNiCoMnO (NCM, x + y + z = 1) is the most promising cathode material for high-energy lithium-ion batteries. However, conventional synthesis methods are limited by the slow heating rate, sluggish reaction dynamics, high energy consumption, and long reaction time. To overcome these challenges, we first employed a high-temperature shock (HTS) strategy for fast synthesis of the NCM, and the approaching ultimate reaction rate of solid phase transition is deeply investigated for the first time.
