Physicochemical characterizations of this novel gel‐polymer electrolyte (GPE) confirm its improved thermal properties and suitable ionic conductivity, as well as electrochemical stability window. Tests in LFP and hard carbon half‐cells vs. lithium metal show that the combination of glyoxylic‐acetal‐based electrolyte and the methacrylate‐based polymer matrix can promote lithium‐ion intercalation and deintercalation with stable capacity values. The application in lithium‐ion battery full cells furthermore shows that the GPE can promote a similar performance compared to the respective liquid electrolyte and can therefore make possible the realization of energy storage devices with improved safety characteristics.","PeriodicalId":132,"journal":{"name":"Batteries & Supercaps","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While recent years have seen successful operation of LOBs with high cell‐level energy density, the technology for cell fabrication is still in its infancy. This is because the cell fabrication procedure for LOBs is quite different from that of conventional lithium‐ion batteries. The study presents a fully automated sequential robotic experimental setup for the fabrication of stacked‐type LOB cells. This approach allows for high accuracy and high throughput fabrication of the cells. The developed system enables the fabrication of over 80 cells per day, which is 10 times higher than conventional human‐based experiments. In addition, the high alignment accuracy during the electrode stacking and electrolyte injection process results in improved battery performance and reproducibility. The effectiveness of the developed system was also confirmed by investigating a multi‐component electrolyte to maximize battery performance.

However, most efforts are directed toward improvement of active charge storing materials, while design of devices and minimization of the wight/volume of passive component have received less attention. We propose here a mathematical model of a carbon supercapacitor in organic electrolyte, which establishes a relationship between the specific capacitance of a device, the thickness of its electrodes, and the weight of its passive components (case, external current leads, current collectors, etc.). The model was built on the basis of experimentally obtained dependences and has been validated using experiments with electrodes made of two porous carbon materials. Regardless of the pore size distribution in the specified range of electrode thicknesses, the functional dependence of the electrode's specific capacitance on the thickness is well described within the linear approximation. The use of the developed model enables optimization of the electrode thickness, thus maximizing specific energy density for a chosen carbon electrode material.","PeriodicalId":132,"journal":{"name":"Batteries & Supercaps","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, this review summarizes the effects of a series of sultones as electrolyte additives in high voltage electrolytes. It is found that DTD, ES, 1,3‐PS, PES, PCS, MMDS, BDTD, BDTT, DTDph, ODTO, FPS, VES and other sultones have excellent properties on stabilizing SEI/CEI formation, inhibiting gas production, and good high temperature resistance. The preferential oxidation/reduction of sultones can protect the electrolyte from decomposition, and the uniform and dense SEI/CEI can also promote Li+ transport, protect the electrode from corrosion, prevent the growth of lithium dendrites, and promote the insertion and removal of Li+, so as to improve the cycle life of the high‐voltage battery. This review can provide theoretical support for the design of high voltage and high energy density LBs electrolyte and selection of additives in the future.","PeriodicalId":132,"journal":{"name":"Batteries & Supercaps","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The introduction of an alternative intercalation chemistry involving solvated‐Na‐ion co‐intercalation gives a rebirth to graphite anodes. The co‐intercalation chemistry allows appreciable Na ion storage capacities and extraordinary rate capabilities. The fundamental differences between intercalation and co‐intercalation chemistries have attracted extensive investigation over the past decade for high‐power SIBs.
