“…Many dislocations and distortions are noted in the basal plane of thesen anosheets, especially in the 3nm-MoS 2.3 and5 nm-MoS 2.2 samples, which are highlighted in red circles, indicating ad efect-rich structure, originating from the abundant unsaturated sulfur atoms. Such structural defects and disorder can in turn tunet he resulting electronic properties and enhance the stability of the nanosheets through decreasing the surfacee nergy, [53] as well as serving as trapping sites for PS formed during discharge.…”

Defect Control in the Synthesis of 2 D MoS₂ Nanosheets: Polysulfide Trapping in Composite Sulfur Cathodes for Li–S Batteries

One of the inherent challenges with Li–S batteries is polysulfide dissolution, in which soluble polysulfide species can contribute to the active material loss from the cathode and undergo shuttling reactions inhibiting the ability to effectively charge the battery. Prior theoretical studies have proposed the possible benefit of defective 2 D MoS2 materials as polysulfide trapping agents. Herein the synthesis and thorough characterization of hydrothermally prepared MoS2 nanosheets that vary in layer number, morphology, lateral size, and defect content are reported. The materials were incorporated into composite sulfur‐based cathodes and studied in Li–S batteries with environmentally benign ether‐based electrolytes. Through directed synthesis of the MoS2 additive, the relationship between synthetically induced defects in 2 D MoS2 materials and resultant electrochemistry was elucidated and described.

Additive manufacturing, i.e., 3D printing, is being increasingly utilized to fabricate a variety of complex-shaped electronics and energy devices (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors, and solar cells) due to its excellent process flexibility, good geometry controllability, as well as cost and material waste reduction. In this review, the recent advances in 3D printing of emerging batteries are emphasized and discussed. The recent progress in fabricating 3D-printed batteries through the major 3D-printing methods, including lithographybased 3D printing, template-assisted electrodeposition-based 3D printing, inkjet printing, direct ink writing, fused deposition modeling, and aerosol jet printing, are first summarized. Then, the significant achievements made in the development and printing of battery electrodes and electrolytes are highlighted. Finally, major challenges are discussed and potential research frontiers in developing 3D-printed batteries are proposed. It is expected that with the continuous development of printing techniques and materials, 3D-printed batteries with long-term durability, favorable safety as well as high energy and power density will eventually be widely used in many fields.

“…The initial reports using ME, MJ, and VAT-P, commonly referred to as FDM, IJP and stereolithographic apparatus (SLA), respectively, have been used to fabricate substrates, thin film electrodes and electrolytes in half-cell and full-cell Li-batteries. As shown in Figure 7, the majority of systems reported so far are half-cell Li-batteries using electrodes mainly involving graphene, [115][116][117] Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 , [118] SnO 2 , [119] MnO 2 , [120] Si [121] as anodes, as well as LiFePO 4 [118,122,123] and LiCoO 2 cathodes; [124,125] the handful of full-cell 3D printed Li-electrodes focused on lithium iron phosphate cathode and lithium titanate anode. [31,126,127] Compared to ME and MJ methods, we are aware of just one report (at the time of writing) using the VAT-P method to print Li-battery electrodes.…”

“…For example, MJ prints using LiFePO 4 cathodes can deliver a high specific capacity of 151 mAh g −1 at current density of 15 mA g −1 . [122] Even carboncoated LiFePO 4 cathodes printed via MJ technology exhibit 80 mAh g −1 at rate of 1530 mA g −1 without significant capacity decrease for 100 cycles. [123] In addition, for the inkjet printing of LiCoO 2 thin films, an initial discharge capacity of 120 mAh g −1 is reduced by only 5% after 100 charge-discharge cycles, at a current density as high as 384 µA cm −2 .…”

Evolution of 3D Printing Methods and Materials for Electrochemical Energy Storage

et al. 2020

Additive manufacturing has revolutionized the building of materials, and 3D‐printing has become a useful tool for complex electrode assembly for batteries and supercapacitors. The field initially grew from extrusion‐based methods and quickly evolved to photopolymerization printing, while supercapacitor technologies less sensitive to solvents more often involved material jetting processes. The need to develop higher‐resolution multimaterial printers is borne out in the performance data of recent 3D printed electrochemical energy storage devices. Underpinning every part of a 3D‐printable battery are the printing method and the feed material. These influence material purity, printing fidelity, accuracy, complexity, and the ability to form conductive, ceramic, or solvent‐stable materials. The future of 3D‐printable batteries and electrochemical energy storage devices is reliant on materials and printing methods that are co‐operatively informed by device design. Herein, the material and method requirements in 3D‐printable batteries and supercapacitors are addressed and requirements for the future of the field are outlined by linking existing performance limitations to requirements for printable energy‐storage materials, casings, and direct printing of electrodes and electrolytes. A guide to materials and printing method choice best suited for alternative‐form‐factor energy‐storage devices to be designed and integrated into the devices they power is thus provided.
