Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are an emerging energy storage technology with higher performance than lithium-ion batteries in terms of specific capacity and energy density. However, several scientific and technological gaps need to be filled before Li-S batteries will penetrate the market at a large scale. One such gap, which is tackled in this paper, is represented by the estimation of state-of-health (SOH). Li-S batteries exhibit a complex behaviour due to their inherent mechanisms, which requires a special tailoring of the already literature-available state-of-charge (SOC) and SOH estimation algorithms. In this work, a model of SOH based on capacity fade and power fade has been proposed and incorporated in a state estimator using dual extended Kalman filters has been used to simultaneously estimate Li-S SOC and SOH. The dual extended Kalman filter’s internal estimates of equivalent circuit network parameters have also been used to the estimate maximum available power of the battery at any specified instant. The proposed estimators have been successfully applied to both fresh and aged Li-S pouch cells, showing that they can accurately track accurately the battery SOC, SOH, and power, providing that initial conditions are suitable. However, the estimation of the Li-S battery cells’ capacity fade is shown to be more complex, because the practical available capacity varies highly with the applied current rates and the dynamics of the mission profile.

Lithium sulfur battery has become one of the promising rechargeable battery systems to replace the conventional lithium ion battery. Commonly, it uses carbon–sulfur composites as cathode materials. Biomass based carbons has an important role in enhancing its electrochemical characteristics due to the high conductivity and porous structures. Here, potato peel wastes have been utilized to prepare porous carbon lithium sulfur battery through hydrothermal carbonization followed by the chemical activation method using KOH. After sulfur loading, as prepared carbon–sulfur composite shows stable coulombic efficiencies of above 98% and a reversible specific capacity of 804 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at current density of 100 mA g−1. These excellent electrochemical properties can be attributed to the unique structure of PPWC showing mesoporous structure with large specific surface areas. These results show the potential application of potato peel waste based porous carbon as electrode’s materials for lithium sulfur battery.

Abstract Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been considered to be one of the most promising energy storage devices in the next generation. However, the insulating properties of sulfur and the shuttle effect of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) seriously hinder the practical application of Li-S batteries. In this paper, a novel porous organic polymer (HUT3) was prepared based on the polycondensation between melamine and 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate. The micro morphology of HUT3 was improved by in-situ growth on different mass fractions of rGO (5%, 10%, 15%), and the obtained HUT3-rGO composites were employed as sulfur carriers in Li-S batteries with promoted the sulfur loading ratio and lithium ion mobility. Attributed to the synergistic effect of the chemisorption of polar groups and the physical constraints of HUT3 structure, HUT3-rGO/S electrodes exhibits excellent capacity and cyclability performance. For instance, HUT3-10rGO/S electrode exhibits a high initial specific capacity of 950 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and retains a high capacity of 707 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 C. This work emphasizes the importance of the rational design of the chemical structure and opens up a simple way for the development of cathode materials suitable for high-performance Li-S batteries.

Abstract Predicting the chemical and physical processes occurring in Lithium-ion cells with high-fidelity electrochemical models is today a critical requirement to accelerate the design and optimization of battery packs for automotive and aerospace applications. One of the common issues associated with electrochemical models is the complexity of parameter identification, particularly when relying only on experimental data obtained via non-invasive techniques. This paper presents a novel approach to improve the common methods of parameter calibration that consists of matching the predicted terminal voltage to test data via optimization methods. The study is conducted for an NMC-graphite cell, modeled using a reduced order Extended Single Particle Model (ESPM). The proposed approach relies on using a large-scale Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), modified by including a term that accounts for the parameter sensitivity information, such that the rate of convergence and robustness of the algorithm to obtain a consistent solution in the presence of uncertainties in the initial conditions are significantly improved.

A flexible strategy is to exploit encapsulating Si nanoparticles into N-doping carbon film (Si-NC) that can effectively localize the Si nanoparticles, thereby solving the problem of serious volume change during cycling as well as facilitating the fast diffusion of Li[Formula: see text], and thus achieving improved anode performance. A maximum capacity of 883.1[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at the current density of 100[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] after 50 charge and discharge processes is achieved for Si-NC. Even at a large current density of 2000[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text], a specific capacity of 415[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] is maintained. Moreover, the charge capacity can still almost recover the initial capacity as the current density is reverted to 100[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text], indicating that Si-NC has a superior rate performance in lithium storage. This facile synthesis route provides a new perspective to produce Si/C composite at a low cost and large scale with good electrochemical performance.

Abstract Nickel-rich cathode materials are increasingly being applied in commercial lithium-ion batteries to realize higher specific capacity as well as improve energy density. However, low structural stability and rapid capacity decay at high voltage and temperature hinder their rapid large-scale application. Herein, a wet chemical method followed by a post-annealing process is utilized to realize the surface coating of tantalum oxide on LiNi0.88Mn0.03Co0.09O2, and the electrochemical performance is improved. The modified LiNi0.88Mn0.03Co0.09O2 displays an initial discharge capacity of ~233 mAh/g at 0.1 C and 174 mAh/g at 1 C after 150 cycles in the voltage range of 3.0-4.4 V at 45 ℃, and it also exhibits an enhanced rate capability with 118 mAh/g at 5 C. The excellent performance is due to the introduction of tantalum oxide as a stable and functional layer to protect the surface of LiNi0.88Mn0.03Co0.09O2, and the surface side reactions and cation mixing are suppressed at the same time without hampering the charge transfer kinetics.

Abstract To increase the energy storage density of lithium-ion batteries, silicon anodes have been explored due to their high capacity. One of the main challenges for silicon anodes are large volume variations during the lithiation processes. Recently, several high-performance schemes have been demonstrated with increased life cycles utilizing nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanowires, and thin films. However, a method that allows the large-scale production of silicon anodes remains to be demonstrated. Herein, we address this question by suggesting new scalable nanomaterial-based anodes. Si nanoparticles were grown on nanographite flakes by aerogel fabrication route from Si powder and nanographite mixture using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). This silicon-nanographite aerogel electrode has stable specific capacity even at high current rates and exhibit good cyclic stability. The specific capacity is 455 mAh g−1 for 200th cycles with a coulombic efficiency of 97% at a current density 100 mA g−1.

Abstract Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are considered new generation of large-scale energy-storage devices. However, LIBs suffer from a lack of desirable anode materials with excellent specific capacity and cycling stability. In this work, we design a novel hierarchical structure constructed by encapsulating cobalt sulfide nanowires within nitrogen-doped porous branched carbon nanotubes (NBNTs) for LIBs. The unique hierarchical Co9S8@NBNT electrode displayed a reversible specific capacity of 1310 mAh g−1 at a current density of 0.1 A g−1, and was able to maintain a stable reversible discharge capacity of 1109 mAh g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1 with coulombic efficiency reaching almost 100% for 200 cycles. The excellent rate and cycling capabilities can be ascribed to the hierarchical porosity of the one-dimensional Co9S8@NBNT internetworks, the incorporation of nitrogen doping, and the carbon nanotube confinement of the active cobalt sulfide nanowires offering a proximate electron pathway for the isolated nanoparticles and shielding of the cobalt sulfide nanowires from pulverization over long cycling periods.

In the present work, a method combining arc plasma evaporation of a metal followed by oxidation in air was developed to produce nanosized metal oxide based composites in large scale. As an example, Fe2O3 based nanocomposites were prepared through such a method. With increasing the oxidation temperature, α-Fe2O3 content in the composites increases, while γ-Fe2O3 and residual α-Fe contents decrease. As anode materials for lithium batteries, the electrochemical properties of nanosized Fe2O3 composites were tested. It was found that the anode materials changed to tiny crystallites and then followed by grain growth during the galvanostatic charge/discharge cycles. A capacity rising was observed for the composites obtained at 400°C and 450°C, which was more prominent with increasing the oxidation temperature. Among these composites, the one obtained at 450°C showed the best performance: a specific capacity of 507.6 mAh/g remained after 150 cycles at a current density of 200 mA/g, much higher than that of the commercial nano-Fe2O3 powder (~180 mAh/g after 30 cycles).

Limited by the development of energy storage technology, the utilization ratio of renewable energy is still at a low level. Lithium/sodium ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs) with high-performance electrochemical performances, such as large-scale energy storage, low costs and high security, are expected to improve the above situation. Currently, developing anode materials with better electrochemical performances is the main obstacle to the development of LIBs/SIBs. Recently, a variety of studies have focused on cobalt-based anode materials applied for LIBs/SIBs, owing to their high theoretical specific capacity. This review systematically summarizes the recent status of cobalt-based anode materials in LIBs/SIBs, including Li+/Na+ storage mechanisms, preparation methods, applications and strategies to improve the electrochemical performance of cobalt-based anode materials. Furthermore, the current challenges and prospects are also discussed in this review. Benefitting from these results, cobalt-based materials can be the next-generation anode for LIBs/SIBs.
