Article Abstract
We apply high-temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry to assess the thermodynamic properties of the material LiAlTi(PO), which has been broadly recognized as one of the best Li-ion-conducting solid electrolytes of the NASICON family. The experimental results reveal large exothermic enthalpies of formation from binary oxides (Δ) and elements (Δ) for all compositions in the range 0 ≤ ≤ 0.5. This indicates substantial stability of LiAlTi(PO), driven by thermodynamics and not just kinetics, during long-term battery operation. The stability increases with increasing Al content. Furthermore, the dependence of the formation enthalpy on the Al content shows a change in behavior at = 0.3, a composition near which the Li conductivity reaches the highest values. The strong correlation among thermodynamic stability, ionic transport, and clustering is a general phenomenon in ionic conductors that is independent of the crystal structure as well as the type of charge carrier. Therefore, the thermodynamic results can serve as guidelines for the selection of compositions with potentially the highest Li conductivity among different NASICON-type series with variable dopant contents.

Alkaline zinc-iron flow batteries (AZIFBs) are one of the promising aqueous redox chemistries for large-scale energy storage due to their intrinsic safety and low cost. However, the energy efficiency (EE) and power density of batteries with low-cost polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes are still limited due to the relatively poor ionic conductivity of PBI in an alkaline medium. Here, this study proposes a novel chemical approach for regulating the chemical environment of the PBI membrane.

The sliding motion of aqueous droplets on hydrophobic surfaces leads to charge separation at the trailing edge, with implications from triple-line friction to hydrovoltaic energy generation. Charges deposited on the solid surface have been attributed to ions or electrons ripped off from the liquid drop. However, the dynamics and exact physicochemical nature of these surface-trapped charges remains poorly explored.

As a new generation of high-energy-density energy storage system, solid-state aluminum-ion batteries have attracted much attention. Nowadays polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based electrolytes have been initially applied to Lithium-ion batteries due to their flexible processing and good interfacial compatibility, their application in aluminum-ion batteries still faces problems. To overcome the limitations in aluminum-ion batteries-specifically, strong Al coordination suppressing ion dissociation, high room-temperature crystallinity, and inadequate mechanical strength-this study develops a blended polymer electrolyte (BPE) of polypropylene carbonate (PPC) and PEO.

Understanding ion transport mechanisms in sodium ion-based polymer electrolytes is critical, considering the emergence of sodium ion electrolyte technologies as sustainable alternatives to lithium-based systems. In this paper, we employ all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the salt concentration () effects on ionic conductivity () mechanisms in sodium hexafluorophosphate (NaPF) in polyethylene oxide (PEO) electrolytes. Sodium ions exhibit ion solvation shell characteristics comparable to those of lithium-based polymer electrolytes, with similar anion coordination but more populated oxygen coordination in the polymer matrix.

High entropy electrolytes show great potential in the design of next generation batteries. Demonstrating how salt components of high entropy electrolytes influence the charge storage performance of batteries is essential in the tuning and design of such advanced electrolytes. This study investigates the transport and interfacial properties for lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF) in ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate (EC/DMC) solvent with commonly used additives for high entropy electrolytes (LiTFSI, LiDFOB, and LiNO).
