“…Future electrode optimization, including the use of nanocarbon fiber, electrically conducting binder, optimal amount of binder content level, optimal particle size and size distribution, and improvements in electrode fabrication steps, may lead to increased stability of the cell's capacity. 3,35,36 FTIR and XPS are two commonly used spectroscopy methods in Li-ion battery research to determine the chemical composition of the SEI layer on the active electrode material surface. 37,38 In this investigation, a nano-gapped surface-enhanced ATR-FTIR 34 was utilized to identify the stable (insoluble) parasitic reaction products on the electrode surface.…”

Silicon (Si) has garnered significant attention as a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacity. However, there are considerable challenges to address before practical implementation, primarily stemming from issues such as very large volume changes upon Li insertion/extraction, poor electrical conductivity, and an unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). We report here investigations on P-doped Si (SiPx) using electrochemical isothermal micro-calorimetry (EIMC), attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The EIMC measurements on SiPx revealed decreased parasitic reaction heat flows during the lithiation/de-lithiation cycles. The first cycle cell voltage profiles show decreased electrochemical reactivity for the SiPx. Analyses using ATR-FTIR and XPS on cycled electrodes suggest that the parasitic reaction products originate from solvent and electrolyte salt decomposition, with significantly lower amounts observed on the SiPx. Collectively, these findings endorse P-doping of Si as a promising strategy for Li-ion battery applications and demonstrate the unique advantages of performing EIMC measurements by focusing on the intrinsic losses from parasitic reactions, regardless of the electrode and cell configurations being optimized. In contrast, fully optimized configurations are necessary when using coulombic efficiency as the metric for cycle stability of the battery chemistry.

The demand for optimized and affordable lithium-ion battery systems increases with the growing number of electrified vehicles. To this aim, 3D electrode architectures and new high energy density materials like silicon are in the focus of research. To implement silicon in the LIFT-process for fast prototype development, a silicon-rich paste was developed and optimized for the printing. The electrodes containing the silicon-rich paste showed a rather high specific capacity of 3029 mAh⋅g -1 . To achieve an enhanced cyclability, a new electrode architecture was developed by using subtractive and additive laser processing in a process chain. For this purpose, a state-of-the-art coated graphite electrode was structured, and the cavities were subsequently partially filled with the silicon-rich paste. After reaching end-of-life, the coin cells were disassembled and analyzed using SEM and LIBS measurements regarding the failure mechanisms.

Implantable bioelectronic devices (IBDs) have gained attention for their capacity to conformably detect physiological and pathological signals and further provide internal therapy. However, traditional power sources integrated into these IBDs possess intricate limitations such as bulkiness, rigidity, and biotoxicity. Recently, artificial “tissue batteries” (ATBs) have diffusely developed as artificial power sources for IBDs manufacturing, enabling comprehensive biological‐activity monitoring, diagnosis, and therapy. ATBs are on‐demand and designed to accommodate the soft and confining curved placement space of organisms, minimizing interface discrepancies, and providing ample power for clinical applications. This review presents the near‐term advancements in ATBs, with a focus on their miniaturization, flexibility, biodegradability, and power density. Furthermore, it delves into material‐screening, structural‐design, and energy density across three distinct categories of TBs, distinguished by power supply strategies. These types encompass innovative energy storage devices (chemical batteries and supercapacitors), power conversion devices that harness power from human‐body (biofuel cells, thermoelectric nanogenerators, bio‐potential devices, piezoelectric harvesters, and triboelectric devices), and energy transfer devices that receive and utilize external energy (radiofrequency‐ultrasound energy harvesters, ultrasound‐induced energy harvesters, and photovoltaic devices). Ultimately, future challenges and prospects emphasize ATBs with the indispensability of bio‐safety, flexibility, and high‐volume energy density as crucial components in long‐term implantable bioelectronic devices.
