However, their practical application is often limited by rapid capacity loss from the dissolution of active cathode materials. Here, an effective strategy is proposed to suppress the active component loss by doping high-valence Sn<sup>4+</sup> in V<sub>3</sub>O<sub>7</sub>·H<sub>2</sub>O (Sn–V<sub>3</sub>O<sub>7</sub>·H<sub>2</sub>O) cathode material to achieve highly stable AZIBs. An impressive capacity retention of 89.3% over 6000 cycles at 5.0 A g<sup>−1</sup> and a high specific capacity of 408 mAh g<sup>−1</sup> at 0.1 A g<sup>−1</sup> are attained. The Sn<sup>4+</sup> doping thermodynamically lowers the formation energy of Sn–V<sub>3</sub>O<sub>7</sub>·H<sub>2</sub>O and increases the dissolution energy of VO<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup> ions, thereby reinforcing the structural stability and suppressing the vanadium dissolution. Besides, Sn<sup>4+</sup> doping enhances electrical conductivity and broadens Zn<sup>2+</sup> diffusion channels, significantly accelerating Zn<sup>2+</sup> intercalation and deintercalation kinetics. The experimental results are integrated with mechanism analysis and density functional theory calculation to elucidate the dissolution dynamics of V-based cathodes, and employ X-ray absorption spectroscopy to reveal the local electronic structures and chemical valences of vanadium during charge/discharge processes, thereby providing comprehensive insights into high-performance cathode materials for AZIBs.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142763107","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}

A remarkable CO<sub>2</sub> conversion rate 2.69 times as high as the thermodynamic limit and extraordinary light-to-fuel efficiency of 24.95% at low temperature of 500 °C are achieved, outperforming the state-of-the-art literature reports.

However, they suffer from poor cyclability and rate capability, which limits their wide application. Degradation in these devices occurs through complex mechanical, chemical and electrochemical pathways, all of which produce heterogeneous deformation fields. Therefore, isolating solid-state degradation mechanisms, and explicitly linking them to the associated deformation fields requires a multimodal characterization strategy. Here, a novel 3-D, in situ methodology for linking degradation to deformation in solid-state cells is presented. X-ray imaging is used to measure the morphological degradation, and combined with X-ray diffraction to quantify (electro)chemical aspects. Finally, the heterogeneous stress fields from these various pathways are mapped in situ. This heterogeneity is shown <i>globally</i>, from the interface to the bulk electrolyte, as well as <i>locally</i>, around features such as cracks and voids. Through these analyses, it is possible to delineate the effects of solid electrolyte processing, cell assembly, and cycling on the end-of-life state of the cell. Moreover, the importance of stress mitigation in these cells is highlighted, with mean stresses around the interface and some cracks comfortably exceeding the elastic limit of Li.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142763106","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}

Current direct battery recycling methodologies primarily focus on structural restoration, but the universality of this approach is hampered by the variability in electrode degradation mechanisms and the extent of irreversible damage sustained after cycling. To overcome these inherent limitations, this research introduces a universally applicable in situ recycling strategy that rejuvenates the metal components within batteries. Through an in situ facile electrochemical treatment, the cathode material is engineered to create a nanostructured interface composed of transition metal/lithium compounds, enhancing intrinsic electron/ion conduction and enabling substantial charge storage with accelerated transfer capabilities. Furthermore, operando magnetometry reveals that the energy storage mechanism aligns with a space charge mechanism, manifesting as spin-polarized capacitance. As proof of concept, the recycled LiFePO<sub>4</sub>-based batteries are in situ converted into high-performance supercapacitors, boasting an energy density of 106 Wh kg<sup>−1</sup> and a power density of 10,714 W kg<sup>−1</sup>, alongside impressive cycling stability with 91.3% capacitance retention after 2000 cycles. This approach demonstrates feasibility with LiFePO<sub>4</sub> and extends to other commercial cathodes such as LiCoO<sub>2</sub>, LiNi<sub>1/3</sub>Co<sub>1/3</sub>Mn<sub>1/3</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, and even their blends, offering a groundbreaking solution for lithium-ion battery recycling.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142777417","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}
