Therefore, pre-lithiation technology has emerged in the past few decades as a powerful method to supplement the undesired lithium loss, thereby maximizing the energy utilization of LIBs and extending their cycle life. Lithium oxalate (Li₂C₂O₄), with a high lithium content and excellent air stability, has been considered one of the most promising materials for lithium compensation. However, the sluggish electrochemical decomposition kinetics of the material severely hinders its further commercial application. Here, we introduce a recrystallization strategy combined with atomic Ni catalysts to modulate the mass transport and decomposition reaction kinetics. The decomposition potential of Li₂C₂O₄ is significantly decreased from ∼4.90V to ∼4.30V with a high compatibility with the current battery systems. In compared to the bare NCM//Li cell, the Ni/N-rGO and Li₂C₂O₄ composite (Ni-LCO) modified cell releases an extra capacity of ∼11.7 ​%. Moreover, this ratio can be magnified in the NCM//SiO_{<strong><em>x</em></strong>} full cell, resulting in a 30.4 ​% higher reversible capacity. Overall, this work brings the catalytic paradigm into the pre-lithiation technology, which opens another window for the development of high-energy-density battery systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7283,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Powder Materials","volume":"3 5","pages":"Article 100215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772834X24000460/pdfft?md5=f2d45bb40a716d7aaf4df8fc3e6f6380&pid=1-s2.0-S2772834X24000460-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141716119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicate that &lt;001&gt; oriented grains are developed in the LPBF-prepared Fe₈₁Ga₁₉ alloys due to high temperature gradient. After magnetic field annealing (MFA), the magnetic domains within the alloys gradually transformed into well-arranged stripe domains, especially, flat and smooth 90° domains were established in the alloys annealed at 2600 ​Oe. As a result, the induced &lt;001&gt; orientation grains and 90° domains contributed to an improved effective magnetic anisotropy constant (57.053 ​kJ/m³), leading to an enhanced magnetostrictive strain of 92 ​ppm. Moreover, the MFA-treated alloys also displayed enhanced magnetostrictive sensitivity (0.097 ​ppm/Oe) owing to the smooth domain structures and low dislocation densities, demonstrating a fruitful strain-sensitivity synergy. In addition, good magnetostrictive dynamic response and enhanced compressive yield strength were also observed for the prepared alloys.
