Because of their broad range of applications, electrochemical energy storage devices are the subject of a growing field of science and technology. Their unique features of high practical energy and power densities and low prices allow mobile and stationary applications. A large variety of electrochemical systems has been tailored for specific applications: Lithium-ion batteries for example have been optimized for mobile applications ranging from mobile phones to electric vehicles. On the other hand, sodium-sulphur accumulators – among others – have been developed for stationary applications to account for the capricious nature of renewable energies. Chemistry, physics and materials science have led to the optimization of existing cell-chemistries and the development of new concepts such as all-liquid or all-solid state batteries as well as high-energy density metal-air batteries. The aim of the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany)-financed project "CryPhysConcept" is to develop new concepts for electrochemical energy storage applying a crystallographic approach. First, a categorization of the main solid components of batteries based on their underlying working principles is suggested. Second, an algorithm for the identification of suitable new materials and material combinations, based on economical, ecological and material properties as well as crystallographic parameters, is presented. Based on these results, new concepts using multi-valent metal ions are proposed. Theoretical as well as experimental results including an iron-ion approach are presented.

For decades, improvements in electrolytes and electrodes have driven the development of electrochemical energy storage devices. Generally, electrodes and electrolytes should not be developed separately due to the importance of the interaction at their interface. The energy storage ability and safety of energy storage devices are in fact determined by the arrangement of ions and electrons between the electrode and the electrolyte. In this paper, the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors using ionic liquids (ILs) as an electrolyte are reviewed. Additionally, the energy storage device ILs developed over the last decade are introduced.

In the coming years, the demand for safe electrical energy storage devices with high energy density will increase drastically due to the electrification of the transportation sector and the need for stationary storage for renewable energies. Advanced battery concepts like all-solid-state batteries (ASBs) are considered one of the most promising candidates for future energy storage technologies. They offer several advantages over conventional Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs), especially with regard to stability, safety, and energy density. Hardly any recycling studies have been conducted, yet, but such examinations will play an important role when considering raw materials supply, sustainability of battery systems, CO2 footprint, and general strive towards a circular economy. Although different methods for recycling LIBs are already available, the transferability to ASBs is not straightforward due to differences in used materials and fabrication technologies, even if the chemistry does not change (e.g., Li-intercalation cathodes). Challenges in terms of the ceramic nature of the cell components and thus the necessity for specific recycling strategies are investigated here for the first time. As a major result, a recycling route based on inert shredding, a subsequent thermal treatment, and a sorting step is suggested, and transferring the extracted black mass to a dedicated hydrometallurgical recycling process is proposed. The hydrometallurgical approach is split into two scenarios differing in terms of solubility of the ASB-battery components. Hence, developing a full recycling concept is reached by this study, which will be experimentally examined in future research.

Energy storage devices such as batteries hold great importance for society, owing to their high energy density, environmental benignity and low cost. However, critical issues related to their performance and safety still need to be resolved. The periodic table of elements is pivotal to chemistry, physics, biology and engineering and represents a remarkable scientific breakthrough that sheds light on the fundamental laws of nature. Here, we provide an overview of the role of the most prominent elements, including s-block, p-block, transition and inner-transition metals, as electrode materials for lithium-ion battery systems regarding their perspective applications and fundamental properties. We also outline hybrid materials, such as MXenes, transition metal oxides, alloys and graphene oxide. Finally, the challenges and prospects of each element and their derivatives and hybrids for future battery systems are discussed, which may provide guidance towards green, low-cost, versatile and sustainable energy storage devices.

Graphene (G)-based two dimensional (2D) mesoporous materials combine the advantages of G, ultrathin 2D morphology, and mesoporous structures, greatly contributing to the improvement of power and energy densities of energy storage devices. Despite considerable research progress made in the past decade, a complete overview of G-based 2D mesoporous materials has not yet been provided. In this review, we summarize the synthesis strategies for G-based 2D mesoporous materials and their applications in supercapacitors (SCs) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The general aspect of synthesis procedures and underlying mechanisms are discussed in detail. The structural and compositional advantages of G-based 2D mesoporous materials as electrodes for SCs and LIBs are highlighted. We provide our perspective on the opportunities and challenges for development of G-based 2D mesoporous materials. Therefore, we believe that this review will offer fruitful guidance for fabricating G-based 2D mesoporous materials as well as the other types of 2D heterostructures for electrochemical energy storage applications.

AbstractPotassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are promising electrochemical energy storage systems because of their low cost and high energy density. However, practical exploitation of KIBs is hampered by the lack of high-performance cathode materials. Here we report a potassium manganese hexacyanoferrate (K2Mn[Fe(CN)6]) material, with a negligible content of defects and water, for efficient high-voltage K-ion storage. When tested in combination with a K metal anode, the K2Mn[Fe(CN)6]-based electrode enables a cell specific energy of 609.7 Wh kg−1 and 80% capacity retention after 7800 cycles. Moreover, a K-ion full-cell consisting of graphite and K2Mn[Fe(CN)6] as anode and cathode active materials, respectively, demonstrates a specific energy of 331.5 Wh kg−1, remarkable rate capability, and negligible capacity decay for 300 cycles. The remarkable electrochemical energy storage performances of the K2Mn[Fe(CN)6] material are attributed to its stable frameworks that benefit from the defect-free structure.

Cu -based materials, including metal Cu and semiconductors of Cu 2 O and CuO , are promising and important candidates toward practical electrochemical energy storage devices due to their abundant, low cost, easy synthesis and environmentally friendly merits. This review presents an overview of the applications of Cu -based materials in the state-of-art electrochemical energy storage, including both lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. The synthesis chemistry, structures and the corresponding electrochemical performances of these materials are summarized and compared. During chemical synthesis and electroactive performance measurement of Cu -based materials, we found that Cu – Cu 2 O – CuO sequence governs all related transformations. Novel water-soluble CuCl 2 supercapacitors with ultrahigh capacitance were also reviewed which can advance the understanding of intrinsic mechanism of inorganic pseudocapacitors. The major goal of this review is to highlight some recent progresses in using Cu -based materials for electrochemical energy storage.
