10 Years Development of Potassium‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Significant progress is made in PIBs over the past decade, but the improvements based on half‐cell testing, low mass loading, and low energy density are insufficient for practical applications. This review summarizes the challenges and strategies for PIBs, highlights the importance of further research focusing on full cells, and provides an analysis of

Time-resolved OES of nanosecond pulsed discharges in N$_{2}$ and N$_{2}$/H$_{2}$O mixtures]{Time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy of nanosecond pulsed discharges in atmospheric pressure N$_{2}$ and N$_{2}$/H$_{2}$O mixtures [PDF]

open access: yesJ. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 45 (2012) 345201, 2014
In this contribution, nanosecond pulsed discharges in N$_{2}$ and N$_{2}$/0.9% H$_{2}$O at atmospheric pressure (at 300 K) are studied with time-resolved imaging, optical emission spectroscopy and Rayleigh scattering. A 170 ns high voltage pulse is applied across two pin-shaped electrodes at a frequency of 1 kHz. The discharge consists of three phases:

Solid Polymer Electrolyte with Compatible Cathode‐Electrolyte Interfacial Design Enabling Lithium Metal Batteries Operation at 4.8 V with Long Cycle Life

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduce a novel approach to enhancing cathode‐SPE compatibility by utilizing the same poly(ionic liquid) (PolyIL)‐based material in both the SPE and the cathode binder. A modified biomass‐based PolyIL substrate, enriched with highly negatively charged C═O and ─OH groups, is incorporated into the SPE to improve Li+ migration and strengthen ...
