Article Abstract

Solid-state electrolytes based on in situ ring-opening polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) have attracted widespread attention in Li metal batteries because of their high interface compatibility. However, its conventional cationic polymerization mechanism frequently results in the formation of long polymer chains during in situ polymerization, thereby impeding Li transport. Here, we regulate the ring opening polymerization of DOL by introducing ,-dimethyltrifluoroacetamide (FDMA), thus avoiding the formation of long polymer chains. Meanwhile, FDMA can derive a stable SEI rich in LiF during electrochemical cycling, improving interface stability and suppressing dendritic Li growth. Therefore, the full battery with LiFePO as the cathode can achieve a high capacity retention rate of 83.9% after 400 cycles at a rate of 5.0 C. At -20 °C, the Li∥LiFePO full battery can provide a high capacity of 137 mAh g. The solvent-induced strategy provides a promising new avenue for designing a solid electrolyte with high temperature resistance.

Waste three-way catalysts (TWCs) and waste LiCoO batteries represent critical environmental challenges due to hazardous components yet contain high-value resources, and their recycling has garnered widespread attention. We propose a novel 'waste-to-waste' synergistic recycling where spent LiCoO batteries reconstruct mineral phases of waste TWCs, enabling co-recovery of platinum group metals and Li/Co without traditional oxidants. However, the environmental performance of this process still requires further analysis.

The electrolyte-electrode interface serves as the foundation for a myriad of chemical and physical processes. In battery chemistry, the formation of a well-known solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a pivotal role in ensuring the reversible operations of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, characterizing the precise chemical composition of the low crystallinity and highly sensitive SEI presents a formidable challenge.

The increasing production of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) necessitates the development of green and sustainable technologies for their recycling. Unfortunately, most of the recycling technologies used are always associated with high energy and chemical reagents consumption, posing a great risk to the environment. Herein, we propose a photovoltaic driven carrier-facilitated electrodialytic membrane process for low carbon recovery of spent ternary LIBs.

Hybrid artificial layer based on inorganic/polymer composite endows superior toughness and mechanical strength, which can achieve high stability of lithium metal anode. However, the large particle size and uneven distribution of inorganic fillers hinder the uniform flow of lithium ions across the membrane, making it difficult to achieve smooth lithium metal deposition/stripping. In this work, a chemical lithiation-induced defluorination strategy is proposed to engineer  poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF)-based artificial layers, enabling in situ incorporation of highly dispersed LiF nanofiller within the polymer matrix and precise control over the LiF content.

High-concentration electrolytes (HCEs) face inherent challenges such as high viscosity and diminished ionic conductivity caused by the formation of three-dimensional (3D) anion networks, which limit their practical applications. In this study, it is demonstrated that encapsulating HCEs within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) effectively disrupts these 3-D networks, resulting in significantly enhanced ionic conductivity. Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal a significant reduction in aggregates (AGGs)-state anion within MOF-confined electrolytes, confirming the reconstruction of the solvation environment.
