Plasma Technology for Advanced Electrochemical Energy Storage

Abstract

Abstract“Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality” is an important strategic goal for the sustainable development of human society. Typically, a key means to achieve these goals is through electrochemical energy storage technologies and materials. In this context, the rational synthesis and modification of battery materials through new technologies play critical roles. Plasma technology, based on the principles of free radical chemistry, is considered a promising alternative for the construction of advanced battery materials due to its inherent advantages such as superior versatility, high reactivity, excellent conformal properties, low consumption and environmental friendliness. In this perspective paper, we discuss the working principle of plasma and its applied research on battery materials based on plasma conversion, deposition, etching, doping, etc. Furthermore, the new application directions of multiphase plasma associated with solid, liquid and gas sources are proposed and their application examples for batteries (e. g. lithium‐ion batteries, lithium‐sulfur batteries, zinc‐air batteries) are given. Finally, the current challenges and future development trends of plasma technology are briefly summarized to provide guidance for the next generation of energy technologies.

The application of plasma technology for the preparation of supercapacitor electrode materials

“…38 In recent years, numerous articles have introduced the application of plasma in the preparation of energy storage materials. 39 Plasma methods have also been mentioned in articles concerning the preparation of electrode materials for supercapacitors. However, there has been a scarcity of summaries and separate discussions on the application of plasma technology specifically for the preparation of supercapacitor electrode materials.…”
