文摘In the development of rechargeable lithium ion batteries(LIBs),silicon anodes have attracted much attention because of their extremely high theoretical capacity,relatively low Li-insertion voltage and the availability of silicon resources.However,their large volume expansion and fragile solid electrolyte interface(SEI)film hinder their commercial application.To solve these problems,Si has been combined with various carbon materials to increase their structural stability and improve their interface properties.The use of different carbon materials,such as amorphous carbon and graphite,as three-dimensional(3D)protective anode coatings that help buffer mechanical strain and isolate the electrolyte is detailed,and novel methods for applying the coatings are outlined.However,carbon materials used as a protective layer still have some disadvantages,necessitating their modification.Recent developments have focused on modifying the protective carbon shells,and substitutes for the carbon have been suggested.

文摘All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)using ceramic electrolytes are considered the ideal form of rechargeable batteries due to their high energy density and safety.However,in the pursuit of all-solid-state LIBs,the issue of lithium resource availability is selectively overlooked.Considering that the amount of lithium required for all-solidstate LIBs is not sustainable with current lithium resources,another system that also offers the dual advantages of high energy density and safetydall-solid-state sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)dholds significant sustainable advantages and is likely to be the strong contender in the competition for developing next-generation high-energy-density batteries.This article briefly introduces the research status of all-solid-state SIBs,explains the sources of their advantages,and discusses potential approaches to the development of solid sodium-ion conductors,aiming to spark the interest of researchers and attract more attention to the field of all-solid-state SIBs.
文摘Silicon anodes are promising for use in lithium-ion batteries.However,their practical application is severely limited by their large volume expansion leading to irreversible material fracture and electrical disconnects.This study proposes a new top-down strategy for preparing microsize porous silicon and introduces polyacrylonitrile(PAN)for a nitrogen-doped carbon coating,which is designed to maintain the internal pore volume and lower the expansion of the anode during lithiation and delithiation.We then explore the effect of temperature on the evolution of the structure of PAN and the electrochemical behavior of the composite electrode.After treatment at 400℃,the PAN coating retains a high nitrogen content of 11.35 at%,confirming the presence of C—N and C—O bonds that improve the ionic-electronic transport properties.This treatment not only results in a more intact carbon layer structure,but also introduces carbon defects,and produces a material that has remarkable stable cycling even at high rates.When cycled at 4 A g^(-1),the anode had a specific capacity of 857.6 mAh g^(-1) even after 200 cycles,demonstrating great potential for high-capacity energy storage applications.
文摘Exploitation of sustainable energy sources requires the use of unique conversion and storage systems,such as solar panels,batteries,fuel cells,and electronic equipment.Thermal load management of these energy conversion and storage systems is one of their challenges and concerns.In this article,the thermal management of these systems using thermoelectric modules is reviewed.The results show that by choosing the right option to remove heat from the hot side of the thermoelectric modules,it will be a suitable local cooling,and the thermoelectric modules increase the power and lifespan of the system by reducing the spot temperature.Thermoelectric modules were effective in reducing panel temperature.They increase the time to reach a temperature above 50℃ in batteries by 3 to 4 times.Also,in their integration with fuel cells,they increase the power density of the fuel cell.

文摘The aging characteristics of lithium-ion battery(LIB)under fast charging is investigated based on an electrochemical-thermal-mechanical(ETM)coupling model.Firstly,the ETM coupling model is established by COMSOL Multiphysics.Subsequently,a long cycle test was conducted to explore the aging characteristics of LIB.Specifically,the effects of charging(C)rate and cycle number on battery aging are analyzed in terms of nonuniform distribution of solid electrolyte interface(SEI),SEI formation,thermal stability and stress characteristics.The results indicate that the increases in C rate and cycling led to an increase in the degree of nonuniform distribution of SEI,and thus a consequent increase in the capacity loss due to the SEI formation.Meanwhile,the increases in C rate and cycle number also led to an increase in the heat generation and a decrease in the heat dissipation rate of the battery,respectively,which result in a decrease in the thermal stability of the electrode materials.In addition,the von Mises stress of the positive electrode material is higher than that of the negative electrode material as the cycling proceeds,with the positive electrode material exhibiting tensile deformation and the negative electrode material exhibiting compressive deformation.The available lithium ion concentration of the positive electrode is lower than that of the negative electrode,proving that the tensile-type fracture occurring in the positive material under long cycling dominated the capacity loss process.The aforementioned studies are helpful for researchers to further explore the aging behavior of LIB under fast charging and take corresponding preventive measures.

文摘Recovering valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)for high value-added application is beneficial for global energy cycling and environmental protection.In this work,we obtain the high-performance N-doped Ni-Co-Mn(N-NCM)electrocatalyst from waste LIBs,for robust oxygen evolution application.Lithium-rich solution and NCM oxides are effectively separated from ternary cathode materials by sulfation roasting and low-temperature water leaching approach,in which the recovery efficiency of Li metal reaches nearly 100%.By facile NH_(3)treatment,the incorporation of N into NCM significantly increases the ratio of low-valence state Co^(2+)and Mn^(2+),and the formed Mn-N bond benefits the surface catalytic kinetics.Meanwhile,the N doping induces lattice expansion of the NCM,triggering tensile stress to favor the adsorption of the reactant.Thus,the optimized N-NCM electrocatalyst exhibits the superior overpotentials of 256 and 453 mV to achieve the current density of 10 and 100 mA/cm^(2),respectively,with a low Tafel slope of 37.3 mV/dec.This work provides a fresh avenue for recycling spent LIBs in the future to achieve sustainable development.

文摘In this study,a roasting enhanced flotation process was proposed to recover LiMn_(2)O_(4) and grapite from waste lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).The effects of roasting temperature and time on the surface modification was investigated,and a series of analytical technologies were used to reveal process mechanism.The results indicate that LiMn_(2)O_(4) can be effectively separated from graphite via flotation after the roasting.The flotation grade of LiMn_(2)O_(4) was significantly increased from 63.10%to 91.36%after roasting at 550℃for 2 h.The TG-DTG analysis demonstrates that the difficulty in flotation separation of LiMn_(2)O_(4) from graphite is caused by the organic binder and electrolytes coating on their surfaces.The XRD,SEM,XPS,and contact angle analyses confirm that the organic films on the surfaces of those materials can be effectively removed by roasting,after which the wettability of LiMn_(2)O_(4) is regained and thus the surface wettability difference between the cathode and anode materials is increased significantly.The closed-circuit flotation test indicates that a LiMn_(2)O_(4) sample with high grade of 99.81%is obtained,while the recovery of LiMn_(2)O_(4) is as high as 99.40%.This study provides an economical and eco-friendly way to recycling waste LIBs.

文摘In order to characterize the voltage behavior of a lithium-ion battery for on-board electric vehicle battery management and control applications,a battery model with a moderate complexity was established.The battery open circuit voltage (OCV) as a function of state of charge (SOC) was depicted by the Nernst equation.An equivalent circuit network was adopted to describe the polarization effect of the lithium-ion battery.A linear identifiable formulation of the battery model was derived by discretizing the frequent-domain description of the battery model.The recursive least square algorithm with forgetting was applied to implement the on-line parameter calibration.The validation results show that the on-line calibrated model can accurately predict the dynamic voltage behavior of the lithium-ion battery.The maximum and mean relative errors are 1.666% and 0.01%,respectively,in a hybrid pulse test,while 1.933% and 0.062%,respectively,in a transient power test.The on-line parameter calibration method thereby can ensure that the model possesses an acceptable robustness to varied battery loading profiles.

文摘Single cell temperature difference of lithium-ion battery(LIB) module will significantly affect the safety and cycle life of the battery. The reciprocating air-flow module created by a periodic reversal of the air flow was investigated in an effort to mitigate the inherent temperature gradient problem of the conventional battery system with a unidirectional coolant flow with computational fluid dynamics(CFD). Orthogonal experiment and optimization design method based on computational fluid dynamics virtual experiments were developed. A set of optimized design factors for the cooling of reciprocating air flow of LIB thermal management was determined. The simulation experiments show that the reciprocating flow can achieve good heat dissipation, reduce the temperature difference, improve the temperature homogeneity and effectively lower the maximal temperature of the modular battery. The reciprocating flow improves the safety, long-term performance and life span of LIB.

文摘Organic electrode materials have high capacity,and environmentally friendly advantages for the next generation lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).However,organic electrode materials face many challenges,such as low reduction potential as cathode materials or high reduction potential as anode materials.Here,the influence of chemical functionalities that are capable of either electron donating or electron withdrawing groups on the reduction potential and charge-discharge performance of anthraquinone(AQ)based system is studied.The cyclic voltammetry results show that the introduction of two-OH groups,two-NO2 groups and one-CH3 group on anthraquinone structure has a little impact on the reduction potential,which is found to be 2.1 V.But when three or four-OH groups are introduced on AQ structure,the reduction potential is increased to about 3.1 V.The charge-discharge tests show that these materials exhibit moderate cycling stability.
