Carbon composites codoped with heteroatoms and transition metals are considered the most likely alternatives to Pt, but they still have the limitation of poor tolerance to poisons. Thus, exploration of advanced electrocatalysts with superior activity and high poison resistance is of great significance in practical applications. Herein, a low-cost lysozyme was first directly used to fabricate single-atomic Fe anchored on porous N-, S-codoped carbon (Fe-PNSC) using a simple “mix-and-pyrolyze” method, which has a honeycomb-like porous structure with a large surface area of 957.69 m²/g, adequate pores of 0.71 cm³/g, and rich heteroatom doping of 4.66 at.% N, 1.9 at.% S, and 0.18 wt.% single-atomic Fe. Accordingly, Fe-PNSC displays an onset potential of 1.08 V and a half-wave potential of 0.86 V for ORR, strong stability with 96.87% current retention, and robust resistance to methanol and various poisons, all outperforming Pt/C. Additionally, the Fe-PNSC–based zinc–air battery shows a high peak power density of 122.2 mW cm⁻², good specific capacity and energy density of 787 mAh g_Zn⁻¹ and 975.9 Wh kg_Zn⁻¹, respectively, and remarkable rechargeable stability for 300 h, superior to Pt/C-based ones.</p>","PeriodicalId":100214,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Neutralization","volume":"4 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cnl2.196","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143380735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate prediction of calendar life is crucial for optimizing the deployment and maintenance of LIBs in military applications. Model-based prognostics are usually established to estimate calendar life using accelerated aging methods under various storage conditions. This review firstly outlines the general prognostic workflow for calendar life of LIBs, analyzes degradation mechanisms, and summarizes influencing factors; then, we introduce calendar life prognostic models, evolving from simplistic empirical models (EMs) to nonempirical mechanistic models (MMs) based on LIB calendar aging knowledge and then to traditional hybrid empirical-mechanistic models (trad-EMMs). Finally, the data-driven models (DDMs) based on machine learning (ML) are discussed due to the limitation of the traditional methods, evolving from pure data-driven to knowledge-integrated models and establishing a comprehensive framework for calendar life assessment. To the best of our knowledge, this paper presents the first comprehensive review in this field, summarizing calendar life prognostic models of LIBs and offering some insights into future model development directions.

In recent years, we have observed a rapid rise of research interest in the high-temperature shock (HTS) method, which is fast, stable, environmentally friendly, and versatile. The HTS method offers excellent controllability and repeatability while tackling challenges and limitations of traditional preparation methods, providing a new way to prepare and optimize carbon-based nanomaterials for electrochemical applications. During the HTS synthesis, the reaction is driven by the high temperature while further growth of obtained nanoparticles is inhibited by the rapid heating and cooling rates. The preparation of carbon-based nanomaterials by HTS has many advantages, including controlled carbon vacancy that may drive phase transformation, precise engineering of carbon, and other defects that may function as active centers, formation and preservation of metastable phase owing to the high energy and rapid cooling, fine-tuning of the interaction between loaded species and carbon support for optimized performance, and facile doping and compounding to induce synergy between different constituents.

Here, we propose a new strategy for the priority recovery of Li and precise separation of Fe and P from spent LFP cathode materials via H₂O-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs). Through adjusting the form of the metal complexes and precipitation mode, above 99.95% Li and Fe can be dissolved in choline chloride-anhydrous oxalic acid-water (ChCl-OA-H₂O) DES, and the high recovery efficiency of Li and Fe about 93.41% and 97.40% accordingly are obtained. The effects of the main parameters are comprehensively investigated during the leaching and recovery processes. The recovery mechanism of the pretreated LFP is clarified and the rate-controlling step of the heterogeneous dissolution reactions is also identified. Results show that soluble phases of Li₃Fe₂(PO₄)₃ and Fe₂O₃ are formed after roasting pretreatment, and Li(I) ions tend to form Li₂C₂O₄ precipitates with C₂O₄²⁻ during the leaching process so that Li can be recovered preferentially in purity of 99.82%. After UV-visible light irradiation, Fe(III) ions are converted into Fe(II) ions, which can react with C₂O₄²⁻ to form FeC₂O₄ precipitates by adjusting the H₂O content, and P is recovered as Na₃PO₄∙12H₂O (99.98% purity). Additionally, a plan for the recycling of used DES is proposed and the leaching and recovery performances still maintain stable after three recycling circles.
