Direct recycling methods offer an opportunity to recover intact valuable cathode materials with minimal re‐processing. An important step of the direct recycling process is relithiation which is used to restore lithium content to EOL cathode materials. However, little has been done to study how preprocessing steps such as washing or binder removal may affect relithiation methods in the direct recycling process. Here, the evolution of fluorine byproducts left over from preprocessing steps during a low‐temperature chemical redox mediator relithiation process is tracked. A facile washing step is presented as a solution for mediating adverse effects of surface contamination on the chemical relithiation performance. The structure, lithium content, and electrochemical performance of relithiated EOL NMC 622 material that underwent a pre‐relithiation washing step to remove fluorine byproducts is shown to match that of pristine NMC 622. In this work, it is showed that redox mediator relithiation as a part of a direct recycling process is a promising low energy method that can be applied to EOL material with inherent surface impurities if the proper pre‐relithiation processing steps are implemented.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144370594","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}

To mitigate these challenges, rational design of advanced electrocatalysts capable of dual‐functional LiPSs immobilization and catalytic conversion has been recognized as a pivotal solution. Critically, the catalytic efficacy of electrocatalysts is intrinsically governed by their electronic structure characteristics, which dictate adsorption energies, charge transfer dynamics, and reaction pathway selectivity during the redox process. However, a systematic review correlating electronic modulation strategies with mechanistic enhancements in Li–S chemistry still remains absent. This review emphasizes recent advances in the fascinating strategies to tailor the electronic structure of electrocatalysts, including but not limited to d‐band position, d‐band valence electron/vacancy, spin state, eg/t2g orbitals, electron filling of anti‐bonding, p‐band, d‐p orbital hybridization, f‐orbital, and geometric structure engineering. The fundamental relationships between electronic structure and catalytic activity are discussed in detail, highlighting mechanistic insights into the origins of enhanced activity. Finally, the major challenges in modulating electronic structure are summarized, and an outlook for further development of electronic structure strategies is briefly proposed. This review can afford cutting‐edge insights into the electronic structure regulation in Li–S chemistry.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144370481","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, the integration of ion self‐concentrating zincized hectorite (Zn‐HEC) layers into the separator is introduced and their crucial role in managing ion distribution and solvation on the surface of the Zn anode during battery operation is revealed. Density functional theory demonstrates that Zn‐HEC possesses a notable Zn2+ self‐concentration capability, acting as microzone Zn2+ reservoirs that promote rapid and even Zn2+ transport. This feature prevents the formation of Zn2+‐depleted zones during Zn deposition. Moreover, the incorporated Zn‐HEC effectively curtails the migration of SO42− and significantly minimizes the desolvation barrier of hydrated Zn2+. Consequently, Zn‐HEC facilitates uniform Zn deposition along the (002) crystal planes of the Zn anode, enabling a lifespan of over 2000 h at 20 mA cm−2 for 5 mAh cm−2 and a cycle life of 500 h at an extraordinarily high rate of 50 mA cm−2 (10 mAh cm−2).

Copper (Cu)‐based nanomaterials have demonstrated significant potential as NO2ERR catalysts, but their catalytic activity and durability are hindered by limitations in the hydrogenation process. In this work, alloying and post‐sulfurization strategies are employed to synthesize AuCu/CuS nanowires (NWs), which feature abundant amorphous active sites and distinct electronic structures. AuCu/CuS NWs exhibit high electroactivity for both NO2ERR (Faradaic efficiency: 95.26%; NH3 yield: 2.54 mg h−1 gcat−1) and sulfur ion electrooxidation reaction (SEOR, oxidation potential: −0.05 V at 10 mA cm−2). In situ characterization and theoretical calculations explain that amorphous CuS can modify the electronic property of AuCu alloy, thereby optimizing the adsorption of active hydrogen and nitrogen‐containing intermediates. Using AuCu/CuS NWs as a bifunctional electrocatalyst, the assembled NO2ERR||SEOR two‐electrode system only requires the electrolysis voltage of 0.77 V to obtain the current density of 10 mA cm−2, accompanied by the co‐production of sulfur and NH3. Under light irradiation conditions, the electrolysis voltage of the NO2ERR||SEOR two‐electrode system is further reduced under light irradiation conditions.

Although essential for practical energy densities, high sulfur loadings, and lean-electrolyte contents lead to poor sulfur kinetics/utilization and cycle life. This study highlights the critical role of electrode microstructure in resolving these challenges. The particle morphology and size of a ketjenblack/sulfur composite are controlled through a scalable spray-drying procedure (SD-KB/S), producing an optimized cathode structure with uniform sulfur distribution and enhanced mechanical integrity with minimal electrode cracking. At a sulfur loading of 4 mg cm−2 and an electrolyte-to-sulfur (E/S) ratio of 6, SD-KB/S cathodes exhibit stable cycling performance, retaining a capacity of 768 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles, contrasting severe capacity fade with conventional electrodes. A cell overpotential deconvolution unveils that the activation overpotential (typically the largest barrier in conventional cells) is notably reduced in SD-KB/S cells. Although the concentration overpotential is also reduced with SD-KB/S, it becomes a prominent contributor to cell polarization, revealing the need to consider diffusional limitations in practical Li–S batteries. This work emphasizes the importance of advancing electrode and catalyst design concurrently—rather than sole catalyst development—to achieve high-performance and commercially viable Li–S batteries.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144340965","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}
