Sustainable Carbon Fibers Enable Stable Long‐Term Lithium Metal Deposition for Prospective Zero‐Excess Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents lightweight, lignin‐derived carbon fiber current collectors that enable controlled lithium deposition. Structural defects and intermediate‐sized pores stabilize pre‐nucleation quasi‐metallic lithium clusters, promoting uniform lithium plating and stripping.

Rediscovering Sodium Ionophores as Selective Agents for Lithium Recognition and Extraction

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Long‐classified sodium ionophores unexpectedly prefer lithium and act as efficient extractants in solid–liquid extraction (SLE). Readily prepared from catechol and haloacetamides, these hosts recover hydrated LiCl from multicomponent salt mixtures via a hydration‐assisted O···Li+ binding mode, enabling scalable lithium separation with Li/Na, Li/K, and ...

Molecular Design Strategies for High‐Voltage Organic Cathodes

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work proposes molecular engineering strategies for high‐voltage organic cathode materials for Li‐ion batteries: (1) increase Li‐O coordination number (CN), (2) achieve a greater increase in aromaticity upon reduction (∆Aromaticity), and (3) add an electron‐withdrawing group (EWG), through a combined experimental and computational study on reported

Inverse Vulcanization Through Epoxide Chemistry: A Low Temperature Non‐Olefin Route to Sulfur‐Rich Polymer Networks

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Epoxide monomers undergo base‐catalyzed ring‐opening copolymerization with elemental sulfur to afford sulfur‐rich polymers under mild conditions. The resulting materials exhibit excellent mechanical performance, strong adhesion (up to 10 MPa on stainless steel), and outstanding reprocessability.

Linking DSC/TGA to Cell Levels: Energetics, Evolved Gases, and Thermal Safety of NMC811‐Graphite Micro‐Cell

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A bottom‐up, component‐resolved framework combining DSC/TGA, evolved gas analysis, and in situ XRD reveals how decomposition pathways control energy release in partial and micro‐cell configurations. Separator‐free assemblies are dominated by cathode‐O2${\rm O}_2$/anode‐Li reactions, while the separator restricts oxygen transport, reshapes the reaction ...

Electrolyte Confinement Enables a Continuous Transition From Battery‐Like to Capacitor‐Like Na+ Storage via Solvent Co‐Intercalation

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Layered titanates with expanded interlayer galleries reveal how nanoconfinement and electrolyte solvation control Na+ storage kinetics. In diglyme electrolyte, solvent co‐intercalation and strongly reduced interfacial impedance enable increasingly capacitor‐like behavior with increasing interlayer spacing, whereas carbonate electrolytes form resistive ...
