The evolution of oxygen invasion pathways, breakthrough behavior, and oxygen distribution is analyzed, and the effects of inlet coverage, inlet velocity, inlet location, and multiple-inlet spacing are discussed. The results show that oxygen preferentially invades regions with larger pore throats, consistent with strong capillary control. Breakthrough times are highly nonuniform across the titanium layers. As inlet coverage increases, breakthrough time first decreases and then increases because of the combined effects of inlet velocity and changes in the preferred pathway cross-section. Smaller inlet spacing promotes pathway overlap and shortens breakthrough time, whereas larger spacing weakens pathway interaction and makes transport increasingly dominated by a single preferential pathway.","PeriodicalId":305,"journal":{"name":"Electrochimica Acta","volume":"1 1","pages":"150075"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149086148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their high solubility, poor electrical conductivity, and inferior long-term cycling performance restrict their practical applications in secondary batteries. Herein, a composite organic electrode material is prepared using p-type polypyrrole (PPy) and n-type polyimide (PI) (PPy@PI) for dual-ion batteries (DIBs). The study investigates the mechanism by which the composite electrode material influences the long-term cycling performance of DIBs. The research findings suggest that the constructed DIB enables the PI in the anode to react with cations during charging, and a portion of the anions are inserted into the anode to react with PPy during discharging. Through density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is found that in the PPy@PI composite, a synergistic effect is formed between the p-type and n-type materials. This synergistic effect enhances ionic conductivity, improves rate performance, and significantly promotes the long-term cycling performance of organic DIBs. The electrochemical performance test results show that the PPy@PI/1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide (EMImTFSI)/natural graphite (NG) battery exhibits excellent long-term cycling performance. After 17,000 cycles at 2 C, the capacity retention rate remains at 69.61 % of the peak capacity (103 mAh g<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−1</ce:sup>). By analyzing the structure of the composite and the kinetic processes of the electrode reaction, we discover that the electrochemical activity of PPy is progressively activated during the charge-discharge processes. The electrochemical reaction of PI is promoted synergistically by this activation process, which enhances the cycling performance of the PPy@PI composite material. The paper proposes a novel mechanism for organic electrode material with ultra-long cycling performance in DIBs.","PeriodicalId":305,"journal":{"name":"Electrochimica Acta","volume":"278 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148691440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its rate performance and cycle life are limited by low charge conduction and Jahn-Teller distortion of Mn<sup>3+</sup>. To address these issues, this study employed radio-frequency magnetron sputtering to deposit LiPON, ZnO, and Li<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> films on LMFP electrodes for comparison. The results demonstrate that the cross-linked network structure formed by nitrogen bidentate and tridentate bonds in LiPON enhances ionic conductivity and interfacial stability. Increasing the LiPON coating layer to 2.4 nm resulted in optimal electrochemical performance of the LiMn<sub>0.8</sub>Fe<sub>0.2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> cathodes. The initial discharge capacity was 156.9 mAh g<sup>-1</sup> at a rate of 0.1C. The capacities measured during multi-rate charge-discharge experiments at rates ranging from 0.1C to 5C were 147.8 mAh g<sup>-1</sup>, 141.2 mAh g<sup>-1</sup>, and 122.7 mAh g<sup>-1</sup> at 1C, 2C, and 5C, respectively. There was very little capacity loss when the rate was brought back to 0.1C. Capacity retention rose from 88.0% to 95.7% after 100 cycles at 0.5C. LMFP-LiPON materials have better transition metal states close to the Fermi level and lower band gaps, according to density functional theory (DFT) simulations. In addition to increasing electronic conductivity, accelerating lithium-ion transport, and improving corrosion resistance, these changes significantly reduce the Li migration barrier. The approach offers a strong and adaptable lever for designing lithium-ion batteries of the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":305,"journal":{"name":"Electrochimica Acta","volume":"557 ","pages":"Article 148476"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147386919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
