Extended interphases are playing an increasingly important role in electrochemical energy storage devices and, in particular, in lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries. With this in mind we initially address the differences between the concepts of interface and interphase. After that, we discuss in detail the mechanisms of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation in Li-ion batteries. Then, we analyze the methods for interphase characterization, with emphasis put on in-situ and operando approaches. Finally, we look at the near future by addressing the issues underlying the lithium metal/electrolyte interface, and the emerging role played by the cathode electrolyte interphase when high voltage materials are employed.

AbstractThe demand for green and efficient energy storage devices in daily life is constantly rising, which is caused by the global environment and energy problems. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), an important kind of energy storage devices, are attracting much attention. Graphite is used as LIBs anode, however, its theoretical capacity is low, so it is necessary to develop LIBs anode with higher capacity. Application strategies and research progresses of novel iron oxides and their composites as LIBs anode in recent years are summarized in this review. Herein we enumerate several typical synthesis methods to obtain a variety of iron oxides based nanostructures, such as gas phase deposition, co-precipitation, electrochemical method, etc. For characterization of the iron oxides based nanostructures, especially the in-situ X-ray diffraction and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy are elaborated. Furthermore, the electrochemical applications of iron oxides based nanostructures and their composites are discussed and summarized.Graphic Abstract

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.

This article provides a comparative analysis of various energy storage devices. A detailed review and analysis of molecular energy storage units is carried out, their main characteristics and parame-ters, as well as their application areas, are determined. The main types of molecular energy storage are determined: electric double layer capacitors, pseudo capacitors, hybrid capacitors. Comparison of the characteristics of various batteries is given. The parameters of various energy storage devices are presented. The analysis of molecular energy storage devices and accumulators is carried out. Ttheir advantages and disadvantages are revealed. It has been shown that molecular energy storage or double layer electrochemical capacitors are ideal energy storage systems due to their high specific energy, fast charging and long life compared to conventional capacitors. The article presents oscillograms of a lithium-ion battery with a voltage of 10.8 V at a pulsed load current of 2A of a laptop with and without a molecular energy storage device, as well as oscil-lograms of a laptop with DVD lithium-ion battery with a voltage of 10.8 V with a parallel shutdown of a molecular energy storage device with a capacity of 7 F and without it. The comparative analysis shows that when the molecular energy storage unit with a 7 F capacity is switched on and off, transient processes are significantly improved and there are no supply voltage dips. The dependenc-es of the operating time of a 3.6 V 600 mAh lithium-ion battery at a load of 2 A for powering mo-bile cellular devices with and without a molecular energy storage are given. It is shown that when the molecular energy storage device is switched on, the battery operation time increases by almost 20%.

Abstract Biomass-activated carbon materials are promising electrode materials for lithium-ion hybrid capacitors (LiCs) because of their natural hierarchical pore structure. The efficient utilization of structural pores in activated carbon is very important for their electrochemical performance. Herein, porous biomass-activated carbon (PAC) with large specific surface area was prepared using a one-step activation method with biomass waste as the carbon source and ZnCl2 as the activator. To further improve its pore structure utilization efficiency, the PAC was doped with nitrogen using urea as the nitrogen source. The experimental results confirmed that PAC-1 with a high nitrogen doping level of 4.66% exhibited the most efficient pore utilization among all the samples investigated in this study. PAC-1 exhibited 92% capacity retention after 8000 cycles, showing good cycling stability. Then, to maximize the utilization of high-efficiency energy storage devices, LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCA), a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries with high specific capacity, was compounded with PAC-1 in different ratios to obtain NCA@PC composites. The NCA@PC-9 composite exhibited excellent capacitance in LiCs and an energy density of 210.9 Wh kg-1 at a high power density of 13.3 kW kg-1. These results provide guidelines for the design of high-performance and low-cost energy storage devices.
