Interfacial Solvent Molecular Engineering via High‐Safety Dense Separators for High‐Rate Lithium‐Ion Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The dense PPS‐separator prevents thermal runaway by allowing electron transfer through the steel needle during penetration, while the residual electrolyte enables brief ion migration and Joule heating, causing rapid electrolyte vaporization, collapse of the ion transport network, and a sharp drop in ionic conductivity.

Engineering Nanoclay Edges to Construct Effective Polysulfide‐Trapping Interface for Markedly Enhanced Electrochemical Energy Storage

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A capsule‐shaped silicate clay (H‐ATP‐N2) rich in protonated edge hydroxyl groups (‐OH2+) is synthesized through a two‐step process involving microwave‐assisted acid treatment and N2 plasma etching to fibrous natural attapulgite. The H‐ATP‐N2 host inhibits the shuttle effect owing to the dominant adsorption mechanism–Lewis acid–base interaction between

Redistributing Cobalt and Tungsten From WC–Co Soft Scrap Toward Sustainable Cathode and Coating Materials for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A sustainable upcycling strategy transforms tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) soft scrap into high‐performance cathode materials. Recycled Co with trace nickel (Ni) is resynthesized into stabilized LiCoO2 with superior high‐voltage durability, while the recovered tungsten is further utilized as tungsten trioxide to enhance Ni‐rich cathode interfaces ...

One‐Step Synthesis of Si–Graphene Heterostructures via in‐Flight Gas‐Phase Mixing for High‐Capacity Silicon‐Rich Anodes

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A one‐step gas‐phase synthesis directly assembles amorphous Si nanoparticles with few‐layer graphene heterostructures via in‐flight mixing. Compositions with only 15 wt.% FLG deliver ~2800 mAh g−1 (Si + FLG) at 0.05 C and retain ~1400 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at a high cycling rate of 1 C, enabled by a percolated, strain‐buffering graphene network that

On the Sustainability of Lithium‐Ion Battery‐Powered Electric Vehicles: Critical Review, Analysis, and Perspectives

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This review and analysis evaluate the benefits of LIB‐powered EVs on emission reduction of both CO2 and air pollutants. The raw materials of LIBs face low supply risks as the cathodes switch to low‐cobalt scenarios. Proper management of EV charging can mitigate its negative impact and even contribute to the stability and resilience of the power grid ...

Enhancing Anode‐Free Lithium Metal Batteries: A Lightweight MPTS‐MXene Current Collector for Superior Performance and Energy Density

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study introduces an MPTS‐modified MXene current collector for anode‐free lithium metal batteries (AFLMBs). A key advantage of MPTS‐MXene is its ultralight weight, only 15% as heavy as standard copper per unit volume. Its special layered structure and Si‐O rich surface help lithium deposit smoothly and flat, while forming a protective layer that ...
