Article Abstract
The application of polymer electrolytes in high-performance lithium metal batteries (LMBs) is usually restricted by their sluggish ion conduction, and inferior electrochemical stability compatibility with electrodes. Here, a cationic copolymer-based electrolyte PMC is developed. The copolymer of acryloyloxyethyl trimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (AET⁺TFSI⁻), hexafluorobutyl acrylate (HFBA), and N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) is synthesized by photopolymerization with carbonate electrolytes. The copolymer facilitates the lithium salt dissociation, adjusts Li interaction with the polymer chain, regulates Li solvation environment, and thus promotes fast ion transport (ionic conductivity of 7.19 × 10 S cm, Li transference number of 0.84) and uniform Li deposition. PMC is electrochemically stable up 4.43 V versus Li/Li and forms stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) with the anode, supporting long-term stability (1500 h) of lithium plating/stripping test at 0.2 mA cm, 0.2 mAh cm. The Li/PMC/LiFePO cell shows excellent stability at 1C and a high specific capacity of 134.2 mAh g even at 5C. PMC forms voltage-resisting, LiF-rich cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) with LiCoO. The Li/PMC/LiCoO cell shows excellent stability over 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 96%. Nonflammability of PMC and high safety of PMC-based pouch type cells are confirmed. This work provides a facile method toward high-performance and safe LMBs.

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.

Lithium-induced kidney injury is commonly associated with the development of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Longer term lithium exposure is associated with the development of chronic interstitial fibrosis. The mechanisms of lithium-induced kidney injury are multifaceted, affecting many intracellular cell signaling pathways associated with cell cycle regulation, cell proliferation, and subsequent increased extracellular matrix formation and interstitial fibrosis.

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.

Objective: We previously documented that exposure to a spectrum of elements is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of mechanistic understanding as to how elemental mixtures contribute to the ASD development.
Materials And Methods: Serum and urinary concentrations of 26 elements and six biomarkers of ASD-relevant pathophysiologic pathways including serum HIPK 2, serum p53 protein, urine malondialdehyde (MDA), urine 8-OHdG, serum melatonin, and urine carnitine, were measured in 21 ASD cases and 21 age-matched healthy controls of children aged 6-12 years.

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.
