LiB alloy is promising lithium (Li) metal anode material because the continuous internal LiB fiber skeleton can effectively suppress Li dendrites and structural pulverization. However, the unvalued surface states limit the practical application of LiB alloy anodes. Herein, the study examined the influence of the different exposure manners of the internal LiB fiber skeleton owing to the various surface states of the LiB alloy anode on electrochemical performance and targetedly proposed a scalable friction coating strategy to construct a lithiated fumed silica (LFS) functional layer with abundant electrochemically active sites on the surface of the LiB alloy anode. The LFS significantly suppresses the inhomogeneous interfacial electrochemical behavior of the LiB alloy anode and enables the exposure of the internal LiB fiber skeleton in a homogeneously planar manner (LFS-LiB). Thus, a 0.5 Ah LFS-LiB||LiCoO (LCO) pouch cell exhibits a discharge capacity retention rate of 80% after 388 cycles. Moreover, a 6.15 Ah LFS-LiB||S pouch cell with 409.3 Wh kg exhibits a discharge capacity retention rate of 80% after 30 cycles. In conclusion, the study findings provide a new research perspective for Li alloy anodes.

Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used nowadays. Because of their limited lifetimes and resource constraints in manufacturing them, it is essential to develop effective recycling routes to recover their valuable elements. This study focuses on the pyrometallurgical recycling of black mass (BM) from a mixture of different LIBs.

Host-less lithium metal anode generally suffers from large volume changes and serious dendrite growth during cycling, which poses challenges for its practical application. Interpenetrating phase composites with continuous architectures offer a solution to enhance mechanical properties of materials. Herein, a robust composite Li anode (LBN) material is fabricated through the metallurgical reaction between Li and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) with the formation of interpenetrating LiB/LiBN phases.

Silicon's potential as a lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode is hindered by the reactivity of the lithium silicide (Li Si) interface. This study introduces an innovative approach by alloying silicon with boron, creating boron/silicon (BSi) nanoparticles synthesized via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. These nanoparticles exhibit altered electronic structures as evidenced by optical, structural, and chemical analysis.

Large and rapid lithium storage is hugely demanded for high-energy/power lithium-ion batteries; however, it is difficult to achieve these two indicators simultaneously. Sn-based materials with a (de)alloying mechanism show low working potential and high theoretical capacity, but the huge volume expansion and particle agglomeration of Sn restrict cyclic stability and rate capability. Herein, a soft-in-rigid concept was proposed and achieved by chemical scissoring where a soft Sn-S bond was chosen as chemical tailor to break the Ti-S bond to obtain a loose stacking structure of 1D chain-like SnTiS.

Using silicon/reduced graphene oxide (Si/rGO) composites as lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes can effectively buffer the volumetric expansion and shrinkage of Si. Herein, we designed and prepared Si/rGO-b with a sandwiched structure, formed by a duple combination of ammonia-modified silicon (m-Si) nanoparticles (NP) with graphene oxide (GO). In the first composite process of m-Si and GO, a core-shell structure of primal Si/rGO-b (p-Si/rGO-b) was formed.
