Towards a reliable Li-metal-free LiNO₃-free Li-ion polysulphide full cell via parallel interface engineering

Abstract

Synchronously engineering the interface compatibility of the anode and the cathode in a Li–polysulfide electrolyte enables a full cell design with improved safety, durability and performance.

Constructing Multifunctional Interphase between Li1.4Al0.4Ti1.6(PO4)3 and Li Metal by Magnetron Sputtering for Highly Stable Solid‐State Lithium Metal Batteries

“…The high‐resolution cross‐section SEM image of Li–ZnO@LATP also clearly shows that the Zn + Li 2 O layer indeed serves as a bridge which connects the Li metal and the LATP sheets tightly together to increase compatibility between the SSEs and Li metal (Figure f). Besides, the Zn + Li 2 O interface can homogenize the Li deposition reaction to inhibit the growth of Li dendrites, which may be due to the alloying reaction of Zn with Li to form a Li–Zn alloy . The Li deposition reaction is inclined to evenly nucleate on the alloy sites.…”

Rationally Designed Heterojunction on a CuBi2O4 Photocathode for Improved Activity and Stability during Photoelectrochemical Water Reduction

“…Therefore, the development of clean and renewable energy to replace fossil fuels is an extremely urgent problem facing the world today . Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is an ideal approach to produce hydrogen, owing to the advantages of no pollution, convenient storage and high calorific value . Hence, it is vital to manufacture photocathode materials that can efficiently produce hydrogen .…”

“…[2] Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is an ideal approach to produce hydrogen, owing to the advantages of no pollution, convenient storage and high calorific value. [3] Hence, it is vital to manufacture photocathode materials that can efficiently produce hydrogen. [4] Up to now, CuInS 2 , [5] Cu 2 O, [6] and GaN [7] and so on, have been widely reported and exhibit high PEC HER performance.…”

Anode Interface Engineering and Architecture Design for High‐Performance Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

“…In Li–S batteries, Li–Al alloy anode has been successfully used to couple with a hydrothermal carbon@carbon cloth (HTC‐CC) cathode and polysulfide catholyte . Without LiNO 3 additive, the Li‐ion polysulfide full cell exhibited a high discharge capacity of 1050 mA h g −1 at 0.2 C, and remain 500 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles.…”
