Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in electric vehicles (EV) and energy storage stations (ESS). However, combustion and explosion accidents during the thermal runaway (TR) process limit its further applications. Therefore, it is necessary t...

The frequent safety accidents involving lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have aroused widespread concern around the world. The safety standards of LIBs are of great significance in promoting usage safety, but they need to be constantly upgraded with the...

Limited by the service life, a large amount of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been produced in recent years. Without proper disposal, spent LIBs can cause environmental pollution and waste of resources. In this paper, we focus on the recycli...

Silicon carbide has structural strength, high electronic conductivity, low diffusion barrier and high storage capacity, which are suitable for engineering applications such as lithium-ion batteries, electric vehicles, uninterruptible power supplies a...

Lithium secondary batteries have been the most successful energy storage devices for nearly 30 years. Until now, graphite was the most mainstream anode material for lithium secondary batteries. However, the lithium storage mechanism of the graphite a...

Antimony (Sb) is regarded to be a potential alloying-type anode for lithium-ion batteries due to its excellent electrochemical reversibility and high theoretical specific capacity (660 mA h g−1). However, huge volume expansion accompanying rapi...

Metal–air batteries hold a competitive energy density and are frequently recommended as a solution for low-cost, environmentally friendly electrochemical energy storage applications. Rechargeable zinc–air batteries are prominently studied...

This study aimed to achieve a clear understanding of the response characteristics of soft pack battery extrusion conditions under various situations. In this study, we chose a LiCoO2 battery as the research object of the extrusion experiment. First,...

Potassium-based batteries represent one of the emerging classes of post-lithium electrochemical energy storage systems in the international scene, due to both the abundance of raw materials and achievable cell potentials not far from those of lithium...

Developing electrodes in a reasonable structure is essential to boost the performance of supercapacitors. Self-supporting heterostructures enriched active sites are promising as binder-free electrodes for supercapacitors. Here, core-shell layered dou...
