In this work, a Na<sup>+</sup>-doping method is adopted to prepare Li<sub>1–<i>x</i></sub>Na<sub><i>x</i></sub>Mn<sub>0.6</sub>Fe<sub>0.4</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>/C (<i>x</i> = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03) materials by spray drying combined with the carbothermal reduction method. It is found that appropriate Na<sup>+</sup> doping enhances the crystallinity, reduces Li–Fe antisite defects, decreases the primary particle size, and homogenizes the size distribution of the LMFP material. Moreover, the inferior rate and cycling performance of LMFP are mainly ascribed to the slower Li<sup>+</sup> diffusion kinetics of Mn redox. A combination of experiments and DFT calculations shows that Na<sup>+</sup> doping can increase the Li–O bond length, widen the Li<sup>+</sup> diffusion channel, and decrease Li<sup>+</sup> diffusion energy barriers, which can accelerate the Li<sup>+</sup> diffusion rate and Mn redox kinetics, thereby improving the high-rate capability and cycling stability of Na<sup>+</sup>-doped samples. Besides, doped Na<sup>+</sup> can not only act as pillars to stabilize the structure but also reduce Mn<sup>3+</sup> content and Mn–Mn interactions to alleviate the Jahn–Teller effect, which also helps to improve the cycling performance of Na<sup>+</sup>-doped samples, wherein the Li<sub>0.98</sub>Na<sub>0.02</sub>Mn<sub>0.6</sub>Fe<sub>0.4</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>/C sample exhibits optimal rate and cycling performances. Its specific discharge capacity is 125.0 mAh g<sup>–1</sup> at 5 C, and the capacity retention rate reaches 96.7% after 100 cycles at 1 C. Therefore, the Na<sup>+</sup>-doping strategy is believed to be an effective modification means to ameliorate the high-rate and cycling capabilities of olivine-based cathode materials.","PeriodicalId":4,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Energy Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224614","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}

Here, we investigate the role of a peptide hydrogel in passivating defect sites and improving the stability of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPI, CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub>) using closely controlled, <i>in situ</i> X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques under realistic pressures. Optical measurements reveal that a reduction in the density of defect sites is achieved by incorporating peptide into the precursor solution during the conventional one-step MAPI fabrication approach. Increasing the concentration of peptide is shown to reduce the MAPI crystallite size, attributed to a reduction in hydrogel pore size, and a concomitant increase in the optical bandgap is shown to be consistent with that expected due to quantum size effects. Encapsulation of MAPI crystallites is further evidenced by XPS quantification, which demonstrates that the surface stoichiometry differs little from the expected nominal values for a homogeneously mixed system. <i>In situ</i> XPS demonstrates that thermally induced degradation in a vacuum is reduced by the inclusion of peptide, and near-ambient pressure XPS (NAP-XPS) reveals that this enhancement is partially retained at 9 mbar water vapor pressure, with a reduced loss of methylammonium (MA<sup>+</sup>) from the surface following heating achieved using 3 wt % peptide loading. A maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.6% was achieved with a peptide loading of 3 wt %, compared with 15.9% from a 0 wt % device, the former maintaining 81% of its best efficiency over 480 h storage at 35% relative humidity (RH), compared with 48% maintained by a 0 wt % device.","PeriodicalId":4,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Energy Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224620","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}

Polymerization-induced phase separation is a facile one pot reaction to make these electrolytes. It is a versatile method but requires control over the complex interaction of various parameters to tune the morphologies and properties of biphasic electrolytes as it is highly system dependent. This study examines the effects of thiol–ene chemistry and parameters such as porogen type and content, thiol content, and salt concentration in the liquid electrolyte, linking these factors to their curing behavior, morphology, and multifunctional properties. We present a toolbox showing how different morphologies and properties can be reached by changing these parameters. The porogen type and a 10% increase in the porogen content affected ionic conductivity by an order of magnitude. Thiol–ene chemistry accelerates the curing process but reduces mechanical properties while slightly increasing the ionic conductivities for small amounts of thiol. The best negative structural electrode, containing carbon fibers as negative electrode, showed increased rate capability compared to previous work and a discharge capacity of 219 mA h g<sup>–1</sup> at a current density of 18 mA g<sup>–1</sup> (∼0.08C). The results also indicate the potential of applying the concept of highly concentrated electrolytes in structural electrodes to improve safety and capacity retention while maintaining high specific capacities and good rate capability.

However, achieving precise control over the nanostructure of these random copolymers is challenging, owing to the irregular distribution of hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments along their backbone. Herein, we introduce the acid doping-induced phase separation of random copolymers containing basic moieties driven by base–acid interaction with phosphoric acid (PA). Small-angle X-ray scattering analysis revealed that increased functionalization led to phase separation and inversion, indicative of dispersed PA distribution, impacting membrane morphology and phase dynamics. The phase morphology control improves proton conductivity and PA retention up to 130% and 260% increases, respectively, resulting in a significant enhancement in power density, a 20% boost to 200 mW/cm<sup>2</sup>.","PeriodicalId":4,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Energy Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224616","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}
