“…Excepting the organic coating, inorganic oxide coating is another promising strategy to effectively improve the electrochemical performance of cathode materials. [228,229] Generally speaking, surface coating is a strategy that aims to improve the cyclic stability and rate capability through preventing the dissolution and aggregation of electrode material, and facilitating their interface ion/electron transport kinetics. [230] In this case, it seems that both of organic and inorganic coating could build a robust interface layer on the surface of cathode materials, to prevent their electrochemical activities from being affected by the dissolution and structural collapse.…”

have also greatly aroused the positive exploration of alternative LIB technologies in recent years. [44] In contrast to the flammable organic electrolyte in LIBs, the aqueous one exhibits lower cost, higher safety, and especially the superior ionic conductivity, which is generally two orders of magnitude higher than that of the organic system. [9,10] All those unparalleled advantages would make the aqueous battery technologies to be the promising candidates in the future. [11] Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), which is mainly composed of zinc metal anode, zinc salt-based aqueous electrolyte, and Zn 2+ host cathode, hold the great promise for energy storage applications in very recent years. [12,13] Compared with nonaqueous alkali-ion batteries, the use of cheap and high ambient stable zinc metal anode and inexpensive aqueous electrolyte with superior ionic conductivity (Figure 1a) would make such type of battery to be one of the most promising commercial candidates in the future market. [14-17] To date, extensive studies have been reported for AZIBs, and relating publications have dramatically increased especially in these two years, as shown in Figure 1b. However, the insufficient energy density seems to become the bottleneck that hinder their practical applications at current status. [4,5,18] Such issue could be ascribed to the narrow operating voltage of aqueous electrolyte, insufficient electrochemical performance of cathode materials, and Zn anode. [13,19,20] Besides, the influence of other components such as separator and collector also should be considered to some extent. [20,21] Among them, the studies of widening operating voltage of electrolyte and the optimization of other components only received less attention, which still remain at the early stage. [22,23] On the contrary, more attentions were paid to the electrochemical performance tuning of electrode materials. [24-26] Besides, considering the fixed operating voltage of Zn metal anode, the modification of cathode materials seems to provide more possibilities to effectively improve the energy density of AZIBs, owing to their rich material systems. [20,26,27] Under these considerations, the rational design of advanced cathodes is expected to be a preferential task to develop. Up to now, many types of materials have been exploited as cathode candidates and applied for AZIBs, however, those Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted extensive attention and are considered to be promising energy storage devices, owing to their low cost, eco-friendliness, and high security. However, insufficient energy density has become the bottleneck for practical applications, which is greatly influenced by their cathodes and makes the exploration of high-performance cathodes still a great challenge. This review underscores the recent advances in the rational design of advanced cathodes for AZIBs. The review starts with a brief summary and evaluation of cathode material systems, as well as the introduction of proposed storage mechani...

Surface Modification Strategies for Improving the Cycling Performance of Ni‐Rich Cathode Materials

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ni‐rich layered lithium metal oxides are the cathode active materials of choice for high‐energy‐density Li‐ion batteries. While the high content of Ni is responsible for the excellent capacity, it is also the source of interfacial instability, limiting the material's lifetime due to a variety of correlated in‐ and extrinsic factors. Hence, reconciling the opposing trends of high Ni content and long‐term cycling stability by modifying the material's surface is one of the challenges in the field. Here, we review various studies on surface modification of Ni‐rich (≥ 80 %) layered cathode active materials in order to categorize current research efforts. Broadly, the three strategies of coating, surface doping and washing are discussed, each with their advantages and shortcomings. In conclusion, we highlight new directions of research that could bring Ni‐rich layered lithium metal oxide cathodes from the laboratory to the real world.

“…Additionally, TiO 2 , Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 , Sn, SnO 2 , SnS 2 , Sb, and P, etc. are potential anode materials for Na + storage in SIB systems (Slater et al, 2013;Li et al, 2018;Guan et al, 2020). Thanks to a similar charging-discharging mechanism, tin-based anodes' alloying/dealloying reactions have attracted considerable attention because they are applicable to both LIBs and SIBs with a high theoretical capacity (Stevens and Dahn, 2000;Zhu et al, 2013).…”

Tin and Tin Compound Materials as Anodes in Lithium-Ion and Sodium-Ion Batteries: A Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tin and tin compounds are perceived as promising next-generation lithium (sodium)-ion batteries anodes because of their high theoretical capacity, low cost and proper working potentials. However, their practical applications are severely hampered by huge volume changes during Li + (Na +) insertion and extraction processes, which could lead to a vast irreversible capacity loss and short cycle life. The significance of morphology design and synergic effects-through combining compatible compounds and/or metals together-on electrochemical properties are analyzed to circumvent these problems. In this review, recent progress and understanding of tin and tin compounds used in lithium (sodium)-ion batteries have been summarized and related approaches to optimize electrochemical performance are also pointed out. Superiorities and intrinsic flaws of the above-mentioned materials that can affect electrochemical performance are discussed, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of tin and tin compounds in lithium(sodium)-ion batteries.
