This study explores the influence of tungsten (W) doping on the structural and electrochemical performance of high-nickel LiNiCoMnO (NCM811) cathode materials, aiming to enhance lithium-ion battery high rate and long-term cycling stability. Tungsten was incorporated through two distinct approaches: bulk doping a wet-chemical co-precipitation method and surface doping solid-state processing during calcination. Comprehensive characterization, including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and micro-cavity electrode electrochemical measurements was conducted to elucidate the effect of W doping on the morphology, crystallinity, and lithium-ion transport properties. Results indicate that W doping enhances charge transfer kinetics and stabilizes the NCM811 microstructure, effectively reducing capacity fade. Notably, surface-doped samples (s-LNCMW) demonstrated superior cycling stability, with 92% capacity retention after 500 cycles, attributed to the formation of a protective LiWO layer. This study provides insights into the optimization of doped NCM cathodes, underscoring the potential of surface tungsten doping as a strategic approach for developing high-energy-density cathodes with improved cycle life for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.

To surmount the shortcomings of powder-based catalysts and small electrode sizes, the development of meter-scale integrated electrode materials is essential for practical electrocatalytic applications, which requires fine control over the effective surface grafting of catalytic active sites on large-size electrodes as well as addressing the challenge of balancing cost-effective and large-scale manufacturing with highly active and stable operation. Herein, we report a low-cost, facile, and scalable method for directly constructing meter-scale single-molecule-integrated catalytic electrodes using commercially available, flexible, and size-tailored conductive carbon textiles (e.g.

The rise of wearable electronics demands flexible energy storage solutions like flexible fiber energy storage devices (FESDs), known for their flexibility and portability. However, it remains difficult for existing fabrication methods (typically, finite-coating, thermal-drawing, and solution-extrusion) to simultaneously achieve desirable electrochemical performances and fast production of FESDs. Here, a new scalable coating-extrusion method is developed, utilizing a novel extruded spinneret with tapered apertures to create dual pressure zones.

Bioelectrodes function as a critical interface for signal transduction between living organisms and electronics. Conducting polymers (CPs), particularly poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate), are among the most promising materials for bioelectrodes, due to their electrical performance, high compactness, and ease of processing, but often suffer from degradation or de-doping even in some common environments (e.g.

P2-type NaNiMnO (NNMO) as cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) largely suffers from continuous accumulation of local stress caused by destructive structural evolution and irreversible oxygen loss upon cycling, leading to rapid capacity degradation. Herein, a strategy of negative enthalpy doping (NED), wherein transition metal (TM) sites are substituted with 0.01 mol each Sn, Sb, Cu, Ti, Mg, and Zn to increase the stability of the TM layers, is proposed.

Renewable energy has made significant strides, with the cost of clean electricity plummeting, making the use of renewable electricity for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to synthesize high-value chemicals and fuels more economically attractive. Notably, certain non-copper-based electrocatalysts have shown remarkable selectivity for C2+ products at low overpotentials, even enabling the production of multi-carbon molecules that are undetectable on copper-based electrodes. This breakthrough opens up new avenues for research into non-copper catalysts.
