However, its cycling performance especially at high currents, is still unsatisfactory owing to the intrinsic limited conductivity. Herein, N-doped carbon shell coated and ZnSe bonded Se-vacancy enriched CoSe1-x (CoSe1-x/C@NC@ZnSe, CZSCV) nanospheres with abundant hetero-interfaces are designed through an in situ Se transfer strategy. Owing to the ingenious structure, as an anode material in SIBs, CZSCV demonstrates superior cycling stability (363.5 mAh g−1 at 10 A g−1 after 1000 cycles) and high-rate sodium storage capability (193.9 mAh g−1 at 20 A g−1 after 5000 cycles). Meanwhile, in the CZSCV//Na3V2(PO4)3@C full cell, it also delivers a stable capacity of 201.4 mAh g−1 at 1.0 A g−1 and provides a high energy density of 397.4 Wh kg−1 with a power density of 231.6 W kg−1. Based on the kinetics analysis and the density functional theory calculation, the hetero-interfaces and enriched Se-vacancies can synergistically accelerate the Na+/electron transfer, owing to the charge redistribution, the decreased diffusion barrier of Na+ and increased pseudo-capacitive capacity contribution. As a result, excellent high-rate anode material can be achieved for the SIBs.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This will result in a large amount of spent batteries that if not properly disposed will pose significant environmental damage, especially from the electrolyte. The electrolyte contains lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), which when treated by either incineration or water washing can generate harmful F- and P-containing substances such as hydrofluoric acid (HF). In this study, an innovative two-step process is presented to separate and purify both the solvents and lithium salts from the spent electrolyte. Antisolvent assisted precipitation is used to selectively isolate LiPF6 salt in the form of a complex with ethylene carbonate. Subsequent distillation then separates the volatile electrolyte solvents and antisolvent from each other effectively. In addition, a new process to further purify LiPF6 from its ethylene carbonate (EC) complex is also presented. This electrolyte recycling method not only enables the recovery of the high-value LiPF6 salt and the electrolyte solvents, but also paves the way for environmentally responsible and circular LIB recycling.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While many additive molecules have been reported in the literature, they are commonly applicable only to one particular perovskite composition. Here we investigate a multifunctional additive, 4-amino-5-bromo nicotinic acid (ABrNA), for use in both methylammonium (MA)-free perovskites with different Br content (bandgaps ranging from 1.53 to 1.73 eV) as well as MA-containing perovskites. Significant performance improvements are obtained for all compositions, which can be attributed to the presence of multiple functional groups capable of modifying the crystallization of the perovskite as well as passivating defects. Exceptional features of ABrNA make it a promising universal passivator, which leads to a PCE increase from 23.9% to 25.0% for CsFAMA solar cells, and from 22.0% to 23.0% for MA-free solar cells. The ABrNA passivated MA-free devices also exhibit exceptional operational stability, with T90 exceeding 1000 h under ISOS-L-1 testing conditions. In addition, significant performance improvement is observed with ABrNA for modules in both conventional and inverted device architectures, further confirming the universality of ABrNA additive.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, a synergistic and comprehensive lifecycle prelithiation technology is introduced as applicable to both anode and cathode. For anode prelithiation, highly reactive biphenyl lithium is leveraged as a lithium replenishing agent, supplemented by functional additives, ethoxy(pentafluoro)cyclotriphosphazene (PFPN) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), to generate a robust SEI enriched with Li3N, LiF, Li3P and Li2O. This approach not only compensates for the initial active lithium loss but also fortifies the structural integrity of the SEI. For cathode prelithiation, the high-capacity lithium replenisher Li2C2O4 and Li2C4O4 comprising B, N double-doped carbon loaded Mo2C-W2C (Mo-W@BNC) heterogeneous catalysts is employed, which exhibits superior catalytic performance in facilitating the release of lithium. The exceptional efficient liberations of lithium are achieved at discharge voltages of 3.78 V and 4.14 V for Li2C2O4 and Li2C2O4, respectively. The prelithiation for both anode and cathode mitigates the initial active lithium loss by 22.6%. Moreover, a singular activation during subsequent usage contributes an additional 0.8 mAh cm−2 of active lithium, achieving a capacity retention of 99.3% after 250 cycles at 0.5C.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143703221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This SEI architecture with tailored organic and nanoscale inorganic component distributions boosts interfacial Li+ transfer kinetics, ultimately enabling XFC and stable low-temperature cycling. Practical validation at the pouch-cell level exhibits excellent high-rate (up to 10C) performance, highlighting the great potential of protic amines in commercial extreme fast-charging LIBs.

Organic electrolytes play a crucial role in enhancing battery performance due to their high ionic conductivity and wide electrochemical stability. However, their flammability and volatility pose serious safety risks, including thermal runaway and fire hazards. To address these issues, research is advancing on flame-retardant electrolytes, particularly fluorine (F)-based and phosphorus (P)-based compounds. F-based flame-retardants work by interrupting flame propagation through radical scavenging mechanisms but require high concentrations to be effective, leading to increased costs and adverse effects on electrolyte properties. In contrast, P-based flame-retardants offer distinct advantages, including lower toxicity, reduced smoke generation, and high thermal and chemical stability. These properties allow P-based additives to be effective at lower concentrations, minimizing their impact on cost and electrolyte performance. This review highlights the diverse structures of P-based flame-retardant additives, exploring their characteristics, mechanisms, and impacts on battery performance, while also proposing future directions for next-generation materials to improve the safety and stability of LIBs, paving the way for fire-resistant, high-performance energy storage solutions.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143703031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the low capacity, irreversible phase, and structure transition are the enormous challenges toward practical application. Herein, an entropy-regulating strategy is proposed to boost both specific capacity and structural stability by introducing Cu, Ni, Co, Mn, and Fe at the 4b sites in PBAs (CNCMF-PBAs). The synergistic effect of randomly dispersed metal elements creates abundant redox centers and enhances structural durability. This inhibits the dissolution of transition metal elements and facilitates a highly reversible phase transition between cubic and tetragonal structures with minimal lattice strain (only 0.8%) for NH4+ (de)intercalation. Moreover, it is interesting to find that this gradually growing cathode capacity roots from the activation of Cu2+/Cu+, Mn3+/Mn2+, and Ni3+/Ni2+ pairs by entropy induction at low voltage region. As a result, the CNCMF-PBAs cathode achieves a high reversible specific capacity of 101.2 mAh g−1 without attenuation over 45 000 cycles (lasting over 180 days) at 20 C. This study provides a substantial advance on PBAs cathode materials with excellent NH4+ storage and rapid multi-electron transfer kinetics.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
