Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the development of “low-carbon goals” and the current market growth of portable electronic products, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage systems, high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted extensive attention on the basis of designing and preparing new electrode materials. Additionally, a systematic and thorough understanding of the structure and chemical mechanisms of the batteries will provide other insights to develop advanced and safe electrode materials for LIBs, and guide the development of high-performance batteries This Special Issue on LIBs will focus on electrode material technologies and working mechanisms, as well as battery life evaluation.

In this Special Issue, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Novel lithium-ion materials: positive, negative, and electrolytes;
  • Electrode design;
  • Electrode preparation technologies;
  • Working and reaction mechanisms of electrode materials;
  • Structure and chemical evolution of electrode materials;
  • New in situ and online sensing principles and approaches to monitor degradation phenomena;
  • Battery life evaluation.

An industrial submicron-sized Fe2O3 with no special shape was decorated by a multi-layer coating of oxygen-deficient TiO2−x and conducting polymer PEDOT (poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). A facile sol–gel method followed by an EDOT polymerization process was adopted to synthesize the hierarchical coating composite. The microstructure and phase composition were characterized using an X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In particular, the existence state of PEDOT was determined using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and a thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The characterization results indicated the dual phase was well-coated on the Fe2O3 and its thickness was nano scale. Electrochemical characterization indicated that the multi-layer coating was helpful for significantly enhancing the cycle stability of the Fe2O3, and its electrochemical performance was even better than that of the single-layer coating samples. The synergistic effects of the ceramic phase and conducting polymer were demonstrated to be useful for improving electrochemical properties. The obtained FTP-24 sample exhibited a specific discharge capacity of 588.9 mAh/g after 360 cycles at a current density of 100 mA/g, which effectively improved the intrinsic cycling performance of the Fe2O3, with a corresponding discharge capacity of 50 mAh/g after 30 cycles.

State of charge (SOC) estimation is an important part of a battery management system (BMS). As for small portable devices powered by lithium-ion batteries, no current sensor will be configured in BMS, which presents a challenge to traditional current-based SOC estimation algorithms. In this work, an electrochemical model is developed for lithium batteries, and three methods, including the incremental seeking method, dichotomous method, and extended Kalman filter algorithm (EKF), are separately developed to establish the framework of current and SOC estimation simultaneously. The results show that the EKF algorithm performs better than the other two methods in terms of estimation accuracy and convergence speed. In addition, the estimation error of the EKF algorithm is within ±2%, which demonstrates its feasibility. Full article

Abstract
This study combines self-prepared NaTi2(PO4)3 (NTP) with commercial vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCF) using a solid state calcination, then coats it with carbon to synthesize the composite anode material NaTi2(PO4)3/VGCF@C (NTP/VGCF@C). The microstructure [...] Read more.
This study combines self-prepared NaTi2(PO4)3 (NTP) with commercial vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCF) using a solid state calcination, then coats it with carbon to synthesize the composite anode material NaTi2(PO4)3/VGCF@C (NTP/VGCF@C). The microstructure and electrochemical properties of the composite material were then analyzed using microstructure analysis and electrochemical testing equipment. Single phase NTP shows nanoparticles with a polyhedral structure, and there is good contact at the interface between the nanoparticles and the VGCFs. The carbon coating formed on the NTP particles displays a nearly 6.5 nm thick layer of amorphous carbon. From the coin-cell battery performance measurements, after 850 cycles, the composite material NTP/VGCF@C exhibits an excellent retention rate of 96.3% compared to that of the pure NTP material when the current density is 200 mA/g. As a result, the composite material and lithium manganate (denoted as LMO) were assembled into an LMO-NTP/VGCF@C aqueous sodium-ion soft pack full battery system. The full battery shows an initial capacity of 31.07 mAh at a rate of 0.5C, and a reversible discharge capacity retention rate of 95.8% after 480 cycles, exhibiting a good long-cycle stability performance.
