In this work, we examine the role of a cathode composite microstructure composed of solid-state electrolyte (SSE) with different particle sizes. A composite made of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) and fine-particle Li6PS5Cl (LPSC) shows a more uniform distribution of SSE on the surface of NCM811 particles, ensuring intimate contact. Moreover, the composite features reduced tortuosity, which enhances Li ion conduction. These microstructural advantages result in significantly reduced charge transfer resistance, helping to suppress mechanical distortion and electrochemical degradation during cycling under low-pressure conditions. As a result, the fine-LPSC cathode composite exhibits enhanced cycling stability at a moderate stack pressure of 2 MPa, outperforming its coarse-LPSC counterpart. Our finding confirms the important role of microstructure design in enabling high-performance ASSBs operating under low-pressure conditions.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"10 2","pages":"966–974 966–974"},"PeriodicalIF":19.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143402214","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}

Effective recycling methods are crucial to mitigating material scarcity, enhancing sustainability, and fostering a circular economy. This perspective examines the current LIB recycling processes, with a focus on the emerging potential and challenges of direct recycling methods. Unlike traditional pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy, which often destroy valuable materials, direct recycling seeks to recover and restore functional components, preserving the integrity of active materials. However, this method faces significant technical hurdles, particularly due to the complex design of LIBs and the degradation of key components over time. This perspective explores the intricacies of battery structure and component degradation, examines the challenges of scaling up direct recycling for industry applications, and proposes future directions to improve the efficiency and viability of this sustainable recycling approach.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"10 2","pages":"947–957 947–957"},"PeriodicalIF":19.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143402212","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 material innovation has played a critical role in recent years, the Q-PHJ (quasi-planar heterojunction) architecture offers an alternative approach to device optimization. This article aims to explain how the introduction of the Q-PHJ architecture can mitigate degradation under various conditions without compromising device performance. It begins by illustrating the fundamental mechanisms responsible for the degradation of OPV devices. Following this, the advantages of the Q-PHJ device and the mechanism are explained by introducing our recent work as well as highlighting other researchers’ work in this field. Different aspects and factors such as morphology, the ternary strategy, additive engineering, and vertical distribution were analyzed. The role of material innovation is also discussed.

However, whether or not such pulverization persists in all solid state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) remains unclear. Herein, we show that pulverization of the LixAl anode is mitigated in ASSLBs due to the applied external stack pressure, thus preventing the mechanical failure of the LixAl anode in ASSLBs. Moreover, electron microscopy investigation reveals that, instead of pulverization, electrochemomechanical stress induces 2 orders of magnitude grain size reduction from a few tens of microns to a few hundred nanometers. The grain-refined LixAl anode facilitates lithium ion transport, which improves the rate performance and specific capacity of the LixAl anode. Consequently, the assembled single-crystal LiNi0.83Co0.12Mn0.05O2|Li10Si0.3PS6.7Cl1.8|Li0.4Al ASSLBs reach 2000 cycles with a capacity retention of 100% at 3C (13.9 mA/cm2, room temperature), at a high areal capacity of 2.1 mAh/cm2. The all-solid pouch cell with a LixAl anode can reach an energy density of 219 Wh kg–1 based on the total mass of the cell. These results demonstrate the prospect of implementing the Al-based anode in ASSLBs for practical energy storage applications.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143019996","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}
