“…With the aim to further improve the performance, safety, and recyclability of the battery technology, synthesis of new material and modification of the existing materials at nanoscale are explored. [ 150 ] In addition, addressing the existing challenges such as volume expansion and dendrite formation on electrodes, limited life cycle, low energy density, and structural instability is focused. Recently, atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique has been extensively utilized to address the above‐mentioned issues by engineering and structuring energy storing materials with excellent uniformity and conformality at atomic scale.…”

The design and development of materials at the nanoscale has enabled efficient, cutting‐edge renewable energy storage, and conversion devices such as solar cells, water splitting, fuel cells, batteries, and supercapacitors. In addition to creating new materials, the ability to refine the structure and interface properties holds the key to achieving superior performance and durability of these devices. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has become an important tool for nanofabrication as it allows the deposition of pin‐hole‐free films with atomic‐level thickness and composition control over high aspect ratio surfaces. ALD is successfully used to fabricate devices for renewable energy storage and conversion, for example, to deposit absorber materials, passivation layers, selective contacts, catalyst films, protection barriers, etc. In this review article, recent advances enabled by ALD in designing materials for high‐performance solar cells, catalytic energy conversion systems, batteries, and fuel cells, are summarized. The critical issues impeding the performance and durability of these devices are introduced and then the role of ALD in addressing them is discussed. Finally, the challenges in the implementation of ALD technique for nanofabrication on industrial scale are highlighted and a perspective on potential solutions is provided.

“…In order to improve the electronic/ ionic conductivity and structural stability of the electrodes, nanostructures have been used in electrode materials (e.g., LiCoO 2 nanoparticles, [10] LiFePO 4 nanowires [11] ). [12] Though the nanostructures can improve the diffusion of Li + and increase the contact between electrode and electrolyte, the large specific surface area tends to induce undesirable side reactions which cause the formation of a solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), and decrease the coulombic efficiency as well as the reversible capacity. A porous structure (foams, aerogels, framework, etc.)…”

“…The nanostructure of ACBEs is another key to achieving a high rate performance in fast-charging batteries, because it may also reduce the length of ion diffusion paths in the active materials and improve ion transport. [12] Nanostructured electrode materials have been widely used for the preparation of ACBEs.

Fast-charging batteries have attracted great attention, and are anticipated to charge electrical vehicles and consumer electronics to full-capacity in several minutes. However, commercial electrode materials in batteries generally have a limited rate performance and are difficult to be used in fast-charging batteries. Designing electrodes with an aligned structure is an effective way to shorten the ion transport path and improve the rate performance of a battery. The excellent electronic conductivity of carbon-based electrodes is another key factor for increasing the rate capability of rechargeable batteries. Therefore, aligned carbon-based electrodes (ACBEs) can significantly improve the power density by combining the advantages of an aligned structure and carbon-based materials. In this review, the mechanism, advantages, and challenges of ACBEs for fast-charging batteries are evaluated, and then the design and preparation methods of ACBEs based on their different dimensions are summarized, and their applications in different batteries are illustrated. Finally, the future development of ACBEs for fast-charging batteries is considered.

The optimization of the calendering process represents one of the key tasks for tuning the lithium‐ion battery performance. In this study, we present a systematic statistical‐based study of the three main calendering parameters (namely, the applied pressure, roll temperature, and line speed) effect on the porosity, electrode mechanical properties and electronic conductivity. Our work main goal is to understand how by changing the calendering parameters, the electrode properties can be tuned and up to which degree they determine the electrode capacity of Li(Ni0.33Mn0.33Co0.33)O2‐based cathodes. The statistical tools used for the analysis were the analysis of the covariance (ANCOVA), the principal components analysis (PCA), and the unsupervised machine learning k‐means clustering algorithm. Our results showed that while porosity and the mechanical properties depend mainly on the applied pressure, the electrode's conductivity correlates mainly with the temperature. All of them were found to influence the cathode's capacity (at a rate equal to C), being the best condition applied pressures between 60 and 120 MPa and roll temperatures between 60 and 75 °C.
