Article Abstract
Graphite is widely utilized as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries due to its abundance, cost-effectiveness, and excellent structural stability during lithium intercalation and deintercalation, which contribute to a long cycle life. However, graphite is not inherently suitable for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to the limited intercalation properties of sodium ions. To address this, we propose the concept of bridging-donor-ligands, which construct ligand channels and consistently expand the graphite interlayer spacing. Using sodium dicyandiamide (NaDCA) as a model ligand, we demonstrate the formation of abundant ligand channels facilitated by the versatile dicyanamide anion (DCA), significantly enhancing the structural robustness of ternary graphite intercalation compounds (t-GICs). Hence, the graphite anode capacity retention is over 94% after 5000 cycles, with an average Coulombic efficiency (CE) exceeding 99.8% in SIBs. This mechanism is versatile and can be extended to other metal-ion battery electrolytes.

Precise control of particle size, pore size distribution, and carbon layer spacing under green and low-energy conditions is critical for developing advanced carbon electrodes for supercapacitors and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, we proposed a new strategy to prepare an MgAl bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF) via a pre-ionization strategy, effectively avoiding harsh conditions and using organic solvents in hydrothermal synthesis. By fine-tuning the Mg/Al ratio and pyrolysis conditions, the particle size, pore size distribution and carbon layer spacing of rod porous carbon (RPC) were precisely adjusted.

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have emerged as an appealing, sustainable and cost-effective candidate for grid-scale energy storage due to abundant K resources and reversible K de/intercalation in graphite anodes (KC, 279 mAh g). However, their practical operation suffers from sluggish kinetics and severe capacity deterioration in traditional carbonate electrolytes. Herein, ethoxy (pentafluoro) cyclotriphosphazene (PFPN) and methyl (2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) carbonate (FEMC) are introduced as cosolvents to rejuvenate conventionally low-concentration (1 M) 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME)-based electrolytes.

Hard carbon (HC), recognized as the most promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), exhibits multiple forms of sodium storage (adsorption on graphitic layers, insertion between graphitic sheets, and filling in closed pores). Low initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) and low plateau region capacity are the main issues with HC, and it is necessary to understand the evolution laws of graphitic layers and closed pores. Here, we regulate the structure of graphitic layers by deliberately changing the oxygen content in HC materials and reveal the mechanism of formation of closed pores.

The discharge of nuclear wastewater into the sea may pose a significant environmental and health risk due to radionuclides such as Cs and Sr. Consequently, the efficient removal of these nuclides has emerged as a focal point in the field of radioactive wastewater treatment. Traditional restoration methods, which rely on physical and chemical interventions as well as bioremediation, are economically burdensome and unsuitable for large-scale restoration efforts.

Water-washing effectively removes surface residual lithium from high-Ni LiNiCoMnO (NCM) cathodes; however, it inevitably degrades the electrochemical performance. To address this issue, integrated strategies targeting the conversion of surface residual lithium into artificial coating layers on high-Ni NCM cathodes have been proposed; however, these require further processing, thus hindering their industrial application. This study proposes a trailblazing strategy for directly converting residual lithium into a LiF layer simultaneously formed on both the surface of secondary particles and the interfaces between the primary particles of high-Ni NCM, without requiring further processing.
