Tuning the D ‐Band Center of Bi2S3─MoS2 Heterostructure Towards Superior Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries
A heterostructure consisting of Bi2S3 and MoS2 with abundant interfacial sites tunes the d-band center of Bi2S3 and MoS2, and thus enhances the electrochemical reaction of adsorbed LiPSs and promotes its conversion. AbstractLithium-sulfur (Li –S) batteries are one of the most promising energy storage devices due to their environmental friendliness, low cost, and high specific capacity. However, the slow electrochemical kinetics and the “shuttle effect” have seriously hindered their commercialization. Herein, the nanoflower Bi2S3─MoS2 (BMS) heterostructure is synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method, and then t...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 2578: SiOx/C Composite Anode for Lithium-Ion Battery with Improved Performance Using Graphene Quantum Dots and Carbon Nanoparticles
In this study, a composite was manufactured by mixing graphene quantum dots, silicon oxide, and carbon nanoparticles, and the characteristics of the anode materials for secondary batteries were examined. To improve the capacity of the graphene quantum dot (GQD) anode material, the added silicon oxide content was varied among 0, 5, 10, 15, and 30 wt%, and carbon nanoparticles were added as a structural stabilizer to alleviate silicon oxide volume expansion. The physical properties of the prepared GQD/SiOx/C composite were investigated through XRD, SEM, EDS, and powder resistance analysis. Additionally, the electrochemical p...

A Slightly Expanded Graphite Anode with High Capacity Enabled By Stable Lithium ‐Ion/Metal Hybrid Storage
A graphite anode with a slightly expanded structure achieves a well-balance of stable lithium-ion/metal storage in commercial carbonate electrolytes. With a controlled capacity of 558 mAh g-1 for the anode, the full cell coupled with a high-loading LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode under a low N/P ratio (≈1.15) shows good cycling stability. AbstractIntegrating lithium-ion and metal storage mechanisms to improve the capacity of graphite anode holds the potential to boost the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. However, this approach, typically plating lithium metal onto traditional graphite anodes, faces challenges of ...

In Situ Characterizations of the Dynamics of Cathode Electrolyte Interfaces at Different Current Densities
The dynamic change of CEIs under different current densities are characterized by using in situ FTIR. The degradation of battery performance at high current densities may be attributed to the intrinsic component instability of CEIs. AbstractLiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 with high nickel content plays a critical role in enabling lithium metal batteries (LMBs) to achieve high specific energy density, making them a prominent choice for electric vehicles (EVs). However, ensuring the long-term cycling stability of the cathode electrolyte interfaces (CEIs), particularly at fast-charge conditions, remains an unsolved challenge. The decay m...
