AbstractIn recent years, high-entropy oxides are receiving increasing attention for electrochemical energy-storage applications. Among them, the rocksalt (Co0.2Cu0.2Mg0.2Ni0.2Zn0.2)O (HEO) has been shown to be a promising high-capacity anode material. Because high-entropy oxides constitute a new class of electrode materials, systematic understanding of their behavior during ion insertion and extraction is yet to be established. Here, we probe the conversion-type HEO material in lithium half-cells by acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. Especially the clustering of AE signals allows for correlations of acoustic events with various processes. The initial cycle was found to be the most acoustically active because of solid-electrolyte interphase formation and chemo-mechanical degradation. In the subsequent cycles, AE was mainly detected during delithiation, a finding we attribute to the progressive crack formation and propagation. Overall, the data confirm that the AE technology as a non-destructive operando technique holds promise for gaining insight into the degradation processes occurring in battery cells during cycling.

Charging Current

High-power-charging (HPC) behavior and extreme ambient temperature not only pose security risks on the operation of lithium-ion batteries but also lead to capacity degradation. Exploring the degradation mechanism under these two conditions is very important for safe and rational use of lithium-ion batteries. To investigate the influence of various charging-current rates on the battery-capacity degradation in a wide temperature range, a cycle-aging test is carried out. Then, the effects of HPC on the capacity degradation at various temperatures are analyzed and discussed using incremental capacity analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The analysis results show that a large number of lithium ions accelerate the deintercalation when the HPC cycle rate exceeds 3 C, making the solid electrolyte interphase at the negative surface unstable and vulnerable to destruction, which results in irreversible consumption of active lithium. In addition, the decomposition of electrolyte is significantly promoted when the HPC temperature is more than 30°C, resulting in accelerated consumption of electrode materials and active lithium, which are the main reasons for the capacity degradation of lithium-ion batteries during HPC under various temperatures.

Initial Coulombic Efficiency

Silicon demonstrates great potential as a next-generation lithium ion battery anode because of high capacity and elemental abundance. However, the issue of low initial Coulombic efficiency needs to be addressed to enable large-scale applications. There are mainly two mechanisms for this lithium loss in the first cycle: the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase and lithium trapping in the electrode. The former has been heavily investigated while the latter has been largely neglected. Here, through both theoretical calculation and experimental study, we demonstrate that by introducing Ge substitution in Si with fine compositional control, the energy barrier of lithium diffusion will be greatly reduced because of the lattice expansion. This effect of isovalent isomorphism significantly reduces the Li trapping by ~70% and improves the initial Coulombic efficiency to over 90%. We expect that various systems of battery materials can benefit from this mechanism for fine-tuning their electrochemical behaviors.

Aluminium has shown its superiority in stabilization of the monoclinic VO2(B) in free-standing nanobelts. In this paper, aluminium-doped VO2(B) nanobelts are successfully fabricated by a facile one-step hydrothermal method and used as cathode for lithium-ion battery. XPS results show that Al-doping promotes the formation of high valence state of vanadium in VO2(B) nanobelts. Due to the accommodation of valence state of vanadium and lattice volume, Al-doped VO2(B) nanobelts used as the cathode material for lithium-ion batteries exhibit better lithium storage properties with high capacity of 172[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] and cycling stability than undoped VO2(B) nanobelts. This work demonstrates that the doping of aluminium can significantly enhance the electrochemical performance of VO2(B), suggesting that appropriate cationic doping is an efficient path to improve the electrochemical performance of electrode materials.
