Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Lithium-ion batteries are used on a large scale in electronic devices and electric vehicles for their high energy density and long cycle. In the background of carbon neutrality, electric vehicles will gradually replace fuel cars, and lithium-ion/sodium-ion battery scale energy storage will also be used in wind and solar green energy in large energy storage. Here, for the current lithium-ion battery's high energy density and long cycle, we initiated this Special Issue on advanced battery material design and process. The content can include new battery electrode materials, battery design and battery coating and assembly processes.

The noteworthy stability of Dion–Jacobson (DJ) phase two-dimensional perovskites marks them as potential contenders for use in optoelectronic applications. Nonetheless, their proliferation is considerably stymied by the constrained charge transport properties inherent to them. This bottleneck is adeptly navigated by deploying 2D-DJ perovskite top layers, seamlessly integrated on 3D perovskite films. We unveil a novel organic cation salt, 4-(Aminomethyl)piperidine (4AMP), as a potent facilitator for treating perovskite photovoltaic films. By employing the annealing technique, we facilitated the in situ creation of a hybrid 2D/3D architecture. Contrasted with conventional 3D architectures, the delineated perovskite heterojunctions with a 2D/3D structure exhibit superior enhanced charge separation, and mitigate photovoltaic losses by proficiently passivating intrinsic defects. The size-graded perovskite 2D/3D structure engineered herein significantly elevates the charge transfer performance, concurrently attenuating the excess lead iodide induced by bulk defects. This precise method resulted in a significant increase in Power Conversion Efficiency, reaching 23.08%, along with an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.17 V. Remarkably, the unpackaged modified device robustly retains 92% of its initial PCE post a 3000 h sojourn under ambient conditions. This discourse propounds a novel paradigm for constructing stable planar PSC 2D/3D heterojunctions, thereby enriching the blueprint for advanced perovskite-based photovoltaic systems. Full article

Lithium-ion batteries are one of the most popular and efficient energy storage devices. In this paper, the characteristics of high-capacity lithium-iron-phosphate batteries during the impulse and long-term operation modes of batteries with different levels of the discharge current are considered. A modified DP-model is proposed. The novelty of the model is the possibility to calculate the activation polarization parameters for different discharge currents. The state of charge is estimated using a high-order polynomial. Based on the developed model, transient processes with rapid load changes and the dependence of the battery voltage on the state of charge were obtained. Here, the model is intended to be used for the design of energy storage systems. The results showed that the DP-model is reliable under the tested conditions and can be used for the considered application. Full article
