Mechanistic insight into the effects of A-site doping in perovskite nanorods on interfacial Li-ion and Na-ion transport in polymer–perovskite composite electrolytes

Composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) offer a promising pathway to safer and higher energy density electrochemical energy storage yet optimizing interfacial ion transport remains a critical challenge due to high resistances and a lack of understanding of the complex interfacial electrostatic interactions. This work investigates the mechanistic origins of the interfacial io…

Structural effects of composition tuning in A-site disordered perovskite La0.5Li0.5−xMxTiO3 (M = Na, K) nanorods for fast interfacial transport for solid composite electrolyte design

Polymer-ceramic composite electrolytes (CPE) have emerged as promising replacements for currently used liquid organic electrolytes, which pose as safety hazards, in Li-ion batteries. Limits in conductivity enhancement in CPEs is often attributed to a high resistance for Li-ion transport along the interface due to the incompatibility of the polymer and ceramic phases. A cle…

Liquified SO2 induced solid/cathode electrolyte interphase for lithium ion batteries

Formation of robust solid/cathode electrolyte interphases (S/CEI) is vital for long-term stability and high-performance operation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), particularly under high voltage regimes. However, engineering electrochemically stable S/CEIs that effectively suppress interfacial side reactions remains a key challenge. Herein, we introduce a liquefied sulfur…

Rational Design of Weakly-Solvating Molecules for Salt-In-Pre-Ionic-Liquid Electrolytes for Li Metal Batteries

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) promise step-changes in energy densities but suffer from poor cycle life due to unstable electrolyte-lithium interfaces. Conventional carbonate electrolytes exhibit excessive lithium-ion solvation and low oxidative stability, leading to rapid capacity loss. Herein, we report a rationally designed weakly-solvating cyclic sulfonamide, 1-trifluo…

Effect of Lithium Doping on MgO Hydroxylation and Carbonation

Recovery of magnesium from brines can potentially be used to source MgO (periclase) as a CO2 sorbent or for Mg-based cements. However, it is not clear how common impurities in brines, such as lithium, affect the resulting MgO reactivity. To test the effect of lithium incorporation on MgO reactivity for hydration and carbonation, we combined computational simulations with e…

Inhibition of Reaction Layer Formation on MgO(100) by Doping with Trace Amounts of Iron

Despite extensive research on MgO’s reactivity in the presence of CO2 under various conditions, little is known about whether impurities incorporated into the solid, such as iron, enhance or impede hydroxylation and carbonation reactions. The purity of the MgO required for the successful implementation of MgO looping as a direct air capture technology affects the deploymen…

Carbonation of MgO Single Crystals: Implications for Direct Air Capture of CO2

Direct air capture (DAC) may be feasible to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere at the gigaton scale, holding promise to become a major contributor to climate change mitigation. Mineral looping using magnesium oxide (MgO) is potentially an economical, efficient, and sustainable pathway to gigaton-scale DAC. The hydroxylation and carbonation of MgO determine the…

Flux Synthesis of A-site Disordered Perovskite La0.5M0.5TiO3 (M=Li, Na, K) Nanorods Tailored for Solid Composite Electrolytes

Inorganic fillers play an important role in improving the ionic conductivity of solid composite electrolytes (SCEs) for Li-ion batteries. Among inorganic fillers, perovskite-type lithium lanthanum titanate (LLTO) stands out for its high bulk Li+ conductivity on the order of 10−3 S cm−1 at room temperature. According to a literature survey, the optimal LLTO filler should po…

Ultrathin quasi-2D amorphous carbon dielectric prepared from solution precursor for nanoelectronics

Materials keeping thickness in atomic scale but extending primarily in lateral dimensions offer properties attractive for many emerging applications. However, compared to crystalline counterparts, synthesis of atomically thin films in the highly disordered amorphous form, which avoids nonuniformity and defects associated with grain boundaries, is challenging due to their m…
