High-donor electrolyte endows graphite with anion-derived interphase to achieve stable K-storage

Artificial solid electrolyte interphase for aqueous lithium energy storage systems

Aqueous lithium energy storage systems address environmental sustainability and safety issues. However, significant capacity fading after repeated cycles of charge-discharge and during float charge limit their practical application compared to their nonaqueous counterparts. We introduce an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) to the aqueous systems and report the use of graphene films ...

Simulating Li-ion battery ageing through solid electrolyte interphase growth in graphite/NMC cells

Accelerating Electrolyte Discovery for Energy Storage with High-Throughput Screening.

Computational screening techniques have been found to be an effective alternative to the trial and error of experimentation for discovery of new materials. With increased interest in development of advanced electrical energy storage systems, it is essential to find new electrolytes that function effectively. This Perspective reviews various methods for screening electrolytes and then describes ...

Electrolyte and Solid-Electrolyte Interphase Layer in Lithium-Ion Batteries

The supply and the management of the energy are particularly at the centre of our daily concerns and represent a socio-economic priority. Indeed, while cars use fossil fuel as the main source of energy for over a century, the depletion of the oil reserves and the necessity to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions, stimulate the development of electric vehicles. Therefore, one of the main challeng...

Anion control as a strategy to achieve high-mobility and high-stability oxide thin-film transistors

Ultra-definition, large-area displays with three-dimensional visual effects represent megatrend in the current/future display industry. On the hardware level, such a "dream" display requires faster pixel switching and higher driving current, which in turn necessitate thin-film transistors (TFTs) with high mobility. Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS) such as In-Ga-Zn-O are poised to enable suc...
