Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical energy storage provides the advantages of versality, flexibility, and high efficiency.  The expansion of portable electronics and electric vehicles (EVs) worldwide stimulates and enhances the demand and development of electrochemical energy storage materials. Currently, advanced electrochemical energy storage materials primarily center on lithium (Li)-based materials such as lithium cobalt oxide and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In an LIB, the components are mainly an anode (negative), a cathode (positive), a separator, and an electrolyte.  For grid energy storage, redox flow batteries (RFBs) are preferred owing to their capability of storing large amounts of electrical energy with high efficiency at low costs.  This Special Issue is devoted to the development of LIBs and RFBs with regard to current processes and technologies. 

Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The development of advanced materials for LIBs such as nanostructured materials, low-dimensional (LD) electrode materials, and core/shell-structured materials at the nanoscale.
  • The development of materials with unique configurations such as materials with hollow structures.
  • The development of LIB cathode materials in addition to LiCoO2, LiNi1‑xCoxO2, LiNixMnyCozO2, LiMn2O4, LiMnO2, LiFePO4, LiTiS2, etc.
  • The development of LIB anode materials in addition to graphite, Li4TiO12, etc.
  • The development of LIB electrolytes in addition to LiPF6, LiBF4, LiClO4, LiSO2, LiB(C2O4)2, etc.
  • Improvements in current RFBs such as all-vanadium RFBs, magnesium/vanadium RFBs, and vanadium/cerium RFBs.
  • The development of new RFBs.

In this study, we systematically analyzed selective lithium plating on graphite (Gr)–silicon (Si) composite anodes for lithium-ion batteries during fast charging, using electrochemical techniques. To achieve this, half-cells were first constructed with single Gr and Si electrodes, and lithium plating on each electrode was examined at different charging rates. It was observed that lithium plating on both electrodes began at a lower state of charge (SoC) as the charge rate increased. Furthermore, at a given charge rate, lithium plating occurred on the Si electrode at a lower SoC than on the Gr electrode. Based on the experimental findings, the lithium plating behavior of Gr and Si as a function of the charge rate was formulated to investigate the plating behavior of hypothetical composite electrodes with varying Gr–Si ratios. The lithium plating behavior observed on the actual composite electrode was consistent with that predicted from the hypothetical composite electrode, which was simulated using the same Gr–Si ratio based on the behaviors of the individual electrodes. By comparing the results from the single and composite electrodes, it is proposed that lithium plating occurs first on Si and then on Gr at low charge rates, whereas, at high charge rates, it proceeds first on Gr and then on Si. We discuss how to extrapolate the preferential plating signals—namely, plating onto Si at low charge rates and onto Gr at high charge rates—that are not directly evident in the signal from the actual composite electrode.
