In recent years, the rapid development of modern society is calling for advanced energy
storage to meet the growing demands of energy supply and generation. As one of the most …

Environmental pollution and critical materials loss from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is a
major global concern. Practical LIB recycling obviates pollution, saves resources and boosts …

Preventing the decomposition reactions of electrolyte solutions is essential for extending the
lifetime of lithium-ion batteries. However, the exact mechanism (s) for electrolyte …

It would be unwise to assume 'conventional'lithium-ion batteries are approaching the end of
their era and so we discuss current strategies to improve the current and next generation …

With increasing the market share of electric vehicles (EVs), the rechargeable lithium-ion
batteries (LIBs) as the critical energy power sources have experienced rapid growth in the …

Intercalation chemistry has dominated electrochemical energy storage for decades, and
storage capacity worldwide has now reached the terawatt-hour level. State-of-the-art …

Ni-rich lithium-ion cathode materials achieve both high voltages and capacities but are
prone to structural instabilities and oxygen loss. The origin of the instability lies in the …

Rechargeable batteries are widely used as power sources for portable electronics, electric
vehicles and smart grids. Their practical performances are, however, largely undermined …

Although layered lithium nickel‐rich oxides have become the state‐of‐the‐art cathode
materials for lithium‐ion batteries in electric vehicle (EV) applications, they can suffer from …

The working mechanism of LiCoO2 beyond 4.6 V presents complicated issues:(1) the
ambiguous multistructural evolutions,(2) the vague O-related anionic redox reactions (ARR) …
