Abstract Lithium-ion traction batteries are increasingly use in transportation such as electric vehicles and buses. In order to reduce the life cycle cost of traction battery, material recycling is a technical route that must be considered. Deep-discharge is one of the necessary steps in the process of battery disassembly and material recycle, but the thermal stability and internal material changes caused by deep discharge will affect the subsequent recycle processes. In this paper, we study the influence of deep-discharge rate on recycle process of a commercial traction battery with LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode and graphite anode. Combine with multi-analysis methods, the evolution of an electrode structure under different deep-discharge current densities is systematically studied. The results show that the deep-discharge current density will have different effects on the internal structure of the battery and will affect its thermal safety.

Nanostructured SnO2 is an attractive anode material for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries because of the fourfold higher theoretical charge capacity than commercially used graphite. However, the poor capacity retention at high rates and long-term cycling have intrinsically limited applications of nanostructured SnO2 anodes due to large polarization and ~300% volume change upon lithium insertion/extraction. Here we report the design of SnO2 nanoparticles, which are synthesized by sol-gel method, with an aim at overcome the above problems for the high-performance reversible lithium storage. The results showed that the mean sizes of SnO2 particles treated with 6 wt.% ammonia were less than 30 nm, which can store charge with a capacity density as high as ~1888 mAh/g. Even when the discharge rate was increased to 0.5 C, it still retained ~1017 mAh/g.

Car brings convenience to people's work and life, however, there are too many environmental issues such as energy shortages, atmospheric pollution and greenhouse effect have been caused by using a lot of traditional fuel cars, which threaten mankind survival. Pure electric vehicle (PEV) has its unique advantage for high efficiency, low noise, less environmental pollution and can use alternative energy sources, therefore, PEV has achieved rapid development with governments and automobile manufacturers support. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are considered to be the best choice of power batteries for electric vehicles due to their high energy density, high working voltage, long cycle life and low self-discharge rate. With the production, use and scrap of Li-ion battery, the recycling and the utilization of Li-ion will become the focus of attention.

Lithium-ion batteries (LiB) are widely used in the electronics industry (such as, cell phones and laptop computers) because of their very high energy density, which reduced the size and weight of the battery significantly. LiB also serves as a renewable energy source for the transportation industry (see Ref. [1,2]). Graphite and LiCoO2 are most frequently used as anode and cathode material inside LiB (see Ref. [2,3]). During the charging and discharging process, intercalation and de-intercalation of Li occur inside the LiB electrodes. Non-uniform distributions of Li induce stress inside the electrodes, also known as diffusion induced stress (DIS). Very high charge or discharge rate can lead to generation of significant amount of tensile or compressive stress inside the electrodes, which can cause damage initiation and accumulation (see Ref. [4]). Propagation of these micro-cracks can cause fracture in the electrode material, which impacts the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) (see Ref. [2,3,5]). Concurrent to the reduction of cyclable Li, resistance between the electrode and electrolyte also increases, which affects the performance and durability of the electrode and has a detrimental consequence on the LiB life (see Ref. [6]).

Lithium-ion hybrid capacitors (LICs) are regarded as one of the most promising next generation energy storage devices. Commercial activated carbon materials with low cost and excellent cycling stability are widely used as cathode materials for LICs, however, their low energy density remains a significant challenge for the practical applications of LICs. Herein, Na0.76V6O15 nanobelts (NaVO) were prepared and combined with commercial activated carbon YP50D to form hybrid cathode materials. Credit to the synergism of its capacitive effect and diffusion-controlled faradaic effect, NaVO/C hybrid cathode displays both superior cyclability and enhanced capacity. LICs were assembled with the as-prepared NaVO/C hybrid cathode and artificial graphite anode which was pre-lithiated. Furthermore, 10-NaVO/C//AG LIC delivers a high energy density of 118.9 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 220.6 W kg−1 and retains 43.7 Wh kg−1 even at a high power density of 21,793.0 W kg−1. The LIC can also maintain long-term cycling stability with capacitance retention of approximately 70% after 5000 cycles at 1 A g−1. Accordingly, hybrid cathodes composed of commercial activated carbon and a small amount of high energy battery-type materials are expected to be a candidate for low-cost advanced LICs with both high energy density and power density.

AbstractLithium-ion capacitors are envisaged as promising energy-storage devices to simultaneously achieve a large energy density and high-power output at quick charge and discharge rates. However, the mismatched kinetics between capacitive cathodes and faradaic anodes still hinder their practical application for high-power purposes. To tackle this problem, the electron and ion transport of both electrodes should be substantially improved by targeted structural design and controllable chemical doping. Herein, nitrogen-enriched graphene frameworks are prepared via a large-scale and ultrafast magnesiothermic combustion synthesis using CO2 and melamine as precursors, which exhibit a crosslinked porous structure, abundant functional groups and high electrical conductivity (10524 S m−1). The material essentially delivers upgraded kinetics due to enhanced ion diffusion and electron transport. Excellent capacities of 1361 mA h g−1 and 827 mA h g−1 can be achieved at current densities of 0.1 A g−1 and 3 A g−1, respectively, demonstrating its outstanding lithium storage performance at both low and high rates. Moreover, the lithium-ion capacitor based on these nitrogen-enriched graphene frameworks displays a high energy density of 151 Wh kg−1, and still retains 86 Wh kg−1 even at an ultrahigh power output of 49 kW kg−1. This study reveals an effective pathway to achieve synergistic kinetics in carbon electrode materials for achieving high-power lithium-ion capacitors.

Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have been widely explored for energy storage. Nevertheless, achieving good energy density, satisfactory power density, and stable cycle life is still challenging. For this study, we fabricated a novel LIC with a NiO-rGO composite as a negative material and commercial activated carbon (AC) as a positive material for energy storage. The NiO-rGO//AC system utilizes NiO nanoparticles uniformly distributed in rGO to achieve a high specific capacity (with a current density of 0.5 A g−1 and a charge capacity of 945.8 mA h g−1) and uses AC to provide a large specific surface area and adjustable pore structure, thereby achieving excellent electrochemical performance. In detail, the NiO-rGO//AC system (with a mass ratio of 1:3) can achieve a high energy density (98.15 W h kg−1), a high power density (10.94 kW kg−1), and a long cycle life (with 72.1% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles). This study outlines a new option for the manufacture of LIC devices that feature both high energy and high power densities.
