Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid development of renewable energy sources has accelerated the growth of smart grid systems, which necessitate high-energy, low-cost batteries such as lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and potassium-ion. Nowadays, significant progress has been made in terms of using nanostructure materials as electrodes for batteries. It is vital to thoroughly understand the storage mechanism of nanostructure materials in order to both facilitate the commercialization of nanostructure materials as electrode materials and observe the relation to the electrochemical performance. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:

  • Carbon nanomaterials (graphite, graphene, CNT) as anode in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
  • Recent advanced cathode materials for LIBs.
  • Recent advanced anode materials for LIBs.
  • 2D materials as electrode in LIBs and supercapacitors.
  • Modelling and simulation, including first-principles study of electrode materials in energy storage device.
  • Application-related development of electrode materials in advanced batteries and supercapacitors.

Transitioning to more ambitious electrode formulations facilitates developing high-energy density cells, potentially fulfilling the demands of electric car manufacturers. In this context, the partial replacement of the prevailing anode active material in lithium-ion cells, graphite, with silicon-based materials enhances its capacity. Nevertheless, this requires adapting the rest of the components and harmonizing the electrode integration in the cell to enhance the performance of the resulting high-capacity anodes. Herein, starting from a replacement in the standard graphite anode recipe with 22% silicon suboxide at laboratory scale, the weight fraction of the electrochemically inactive materials was optimized to 2% carbon black/1% dispersant/3% binder combination before deriving an advantage from including single-wall carbon nanotubes in the formulation. In the second part, the recipe was upscaled to a semi-industrial electrode coating and cell assembly line. Then, 1 Ah lithium-ion pouch cells were filled and tested with different commercial electrolytes, aiming at studying the dependency of the Si-based electrodes on the additives included in the composition. Among all the electrolytes employed, the EL2 excelled in terms of capacity retention, obtaining a 48% increase in the number of cycles compared to the baseline electrolyte formulation above the threshold capacity retention value (80% state of health).

Along with great attention to eco-friendly power solutions, sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have stepped into the limelight for electrical vehicles (EVs) and grid-scale energy storage systems (ESSs). SIBs have been perceived as a bright substitute for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) due to abundance on Earth along with the cost-effectiveness of Na resources compared to Li counterparts. Nevertheless, there are still inherent challenges to commercialize SIBs due to the relatively larger ionic radius and sluggish kinetics of Na+ ions than those of Li+ ions. Particularly, exploring novel anode materials is necessary because the conventional graphite anode in LIBs is less active in Na cells and hard carbon anodes exhibit a poor rate capability. Various metal compounds have been examined for high-performance anode materials in SIBs and they exhibit different electrochemical performances depending on their compositions. In this review, we summarize and discuss the correlation between cation and anion compositions of metal compound anodes and their structural features, energy storage mechanisms, working potentials, and electrochemical performances. On top of that, we also present current research progress and numerous strategies for achieving high energy density, power, and excellent cycle stability in anode materials. Full article
