The strategy uses the negative electrode overpotential and temperature as dual constraint boundaries and dynamically adjusts the charging current by real-time monitoring of the internal electrochemical state of the battery. Experimental verification shows that the maximum relative error between the voltage and temperature curves predicted by the ETLM model and the measured values is less than 5%. Compared with the traditional constant current constant voltage (CC-CV) charging, the C-MCC strategy achieves a charging efficiency exceeding 2C rate when the charging SOC is below 0.64, and after 300 cycles, the relative capacity is maintained at 0.968. By strictly controlling the negative electrode overpotential above 0 V, lithium plating (LiP) is effectively suppressed.

The most successful method for improving functionality is doping with rare-earth (RE) elements like Sm, Gd, La, Nd, and Dy. This is done by adjusting lattice distortions and adding charge-compensating oxygen vacancies. The selection of the dopant has a significant impact on vacancy mobility, structural stability, and performance: La improves oxygen storage and catalytic activity, Nd and Dy allow band gap modulation, dielectric enhancements, and multifunctional behavior, while Gd and Sm maximize ionic conductivity in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) electrolytes.

The electro-chemical stability of various concentrations of Fe<sub>0.5</sub>Ni<sub>0.5</sub>WO<sub>4</sub>/G-CNFs in iodide/tri-iodide (I<sup>−</sup>/I<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>) redox couple containing electrolyte was investigated by Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance studies. It implies that 5wt% of Fe<sub>0.5</sub>Ni<sub>0.5</sub>WO<sub>4</sub>/G-CNFs has more corrosion resistant than Pt, (Fe-Ni)/G-CNFs and 10 wt% of Fe<sub>0.5</sub>Ni<sub>0.5</sub>WO<sub>4</sub>/G-CNFs. Finally, DSSC assembled with this CE delivered higher photo-conversion efficiency than the standard Platinum-based device, owing to the synergistic effect of one-dimensional G-CNF electron transport and the high electrocatalytic activity of Fe<sub>0.5</sub>Ni<sub>0.5</sub>WO<sub>4</sub>. These findings highlight a promising pathway toward long durable, low-cost CEs for next-generation DSSCs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":599,"journal":{"name":"Ionics","volume":"32 3","pages":"3267 - 3278"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147727401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
