Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of lithium-ion batteries has had a transformative impact on our society. In 2019, the winner of Chemical Nobel Prize made this technology an officially recognized field, playing a key role in its advancement. Among all feasible rechargeable battery technologies developed so far, lithium-ion batteries have been found to have the highest energy density, which has led to the widespread adoption of hybrid electric and plug-in electric automobiles. Some countries have set a goal for the complete transition to electric vehicles within the next ten years. However, the increased use of lithium-based compounds, the traditional cathode materials of the lithium-ion battery, has caused concern regarding whether there is a large enough lithium supply for the general implementation of lithium-ion batteries.

Carbon materials, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, activated carbon, and porous carbon, provide controllable transmission channels for ions and electrons by virtue of their 2D and 3D porous structures, which increase the material conductivity and ion diffusion speed. These characteristics make carbon materials suitable for widespread use in new energy storage. In the last few years, with the development of advanced science and technology, more and more attention has been paid to biomass carbon materials and green and renewable resources. They have the advantages of structural diversity, adjustable physical and chemical properties, low price, huge reserves, environmental friendliness, and considerable economic value, which is used as an electrode material and electrode material additive and is widely used in the battery industry. It is related to advanced energy materials and battery technology.

A sulfide-based solid electrolyte is an enticing non-organic solid-state electrolyte developed under ambient conditions. Na3SbS4, a profoundly enduring substance capable of withstanding exceedingly elevated temperatures and pressures, emerges as a focal point. Within this investigation, we employ dual distinct techniques to fabricate Na3SbS4, encompassing ball milling and the combination of ball milling with sintering procedures. A remarkable ionic conductivity of 3.1 × 10−4 S/cm at room temperature (RT), coupled with a meager activation energy of 0.21 eV, is achieved through a bifurcated process, which is attributed to the presence of tetragonal Na3SbS4 (t-NSS). Furthermore, we delve into the electrochemical performance and cyclic longevity of the Na2/3Fe1/2Mn1/2O2|t-NSS|Na system within ambient environs. It reveals 160 mAh/g initial charge and 106 mAh/g discharge capacities at 0.01 A/g current density. Furthermore, a cycle life test conducted at 0.01 A/g over 30 cycles demonstrates stable and reliable performance. The capacity retention further highlights its enduring energy storage capabilities. This study underscores the sustainable potential of Na3SbS4 as a solid-state electrolyte for advanced energy storage systems. Full article

In this study, we utilized nano-sized Co3O4 and reduced graphene oxides (rGOs) as composite anode materials for Li-ion batteries. The Co3O4/C composite anode was derived from ZIF67 (Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-67) and was wrapped in rGOs through precipitation. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to identify the crystal structure, phase purity, and surface morphology of the composite. The composition-optimized Co3O4/rGO/C composite anode exhibited a reversible capacity of 1326 mAh/g in the first cycle, which was higher than that of the Co3O4/C composite anode with a capacity of 900 mAh/g at a current density of 200 mA/g. Moreover, after 80 cycles, Co3O4/rGO/C maintained a capacity of 1251 mAh/g at the same current density, which was also higher than the bare Co3O4/C composite (595 mAh/g). Additionally, the Co3O4/rGO/C composite exhibited a good capacity retention of 98% after 90 cycles, indicating its excellent cycling stability and high capacity. Therefore, the Co3O4/rGO/C electrode has great potential as a promising anode material for Li-ion batteries. Full article
