Li-metal anodes have the versatile advantages of high theoretical capacity, low density, and low reaction potential, making them feasible candidates for next-generation battery applications. However, unsolved problems, such as dendritic growths, high reactivity of Li-metal, low Coulombic efficiency, and safety hazards, still exist and hamper the improvement of cell performance and reliability. The use of functional separators is one of the technologies that can contribute to solving these problems. Recently, functional separators have been actively studied and developed. In this paper, we summarize trends in the research on separators and predict future prospects. Keywords: lithium metal battery; separator; next-generation batteries 1. Introduction Rechargeable batteries are chemical energy storage systems that interconvert chemical energy and electrical energy through the redox reactions of cathode and anode materials. Fossil fuel-based energy cycles are being replaced by renewable energy cycles at a high pace. In this regard, energy storage devices have proven to be essential in fulfilling the global demands of sustainable energy supply and solving problems such as oil depletion and environmental pollution [1–5].

  • A Highly Controllable Electrochemical Anodization Process to Fabricate
    Lin et al. Nanoscale Research Letters (2015) 10:495 DOI 10.1186/s11671-015-1202-y NANO EXPRESS Open Access A Highly Controllable Electrochemical Anodization Process to Fabricate Porous Anodic Aluminum Oxide Membranes Yuanjing Lin1, Qingfeng Lin1, Xue Liu1, Yuan Gao1, Jin He2, Wenli Wang3,4* and Zhiyong Fan1* Abstract Due to the broad applications of porous alumina nanostructures, research on fabrication of anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) with nanoporous structure has triggered enormous attention. While fabrication of highly ordered nanoporous AAO with tunable geometric features has been widely reported, it is known that its growth rate can be easily affected by the fluctuation of process conditions such as acid concentration and temperature during electrochemical anodization process. To fabricate AAO with various geometric parameters, particularly, to realize precise control over pore depth for scientific research and commercial applications, a controllable fabrication process is essential. In this work, we revealed a linear correlation between the integrated electric charge flow throughout the circuit in the stable anodization process and the growth thickness of AAO membranes. With this understanding, we developed a facile approach to precisely control the growth process of the membranes. It was found that this approach is applicable in a large voltage range, and it may be extended to anodization of other metal materials such as Ti as well. Keywords: Anodic aluminum oxide, Nanoporous structure, Integrated charge density, Controllable electrochemical anodization Background aluminum oxide (AAO), have wide nanoengineering ap- Metal anodization has been broadly used in industry as plications that have attracted enormous attention. For a surface treatment technique to render materials with example, AAO membranes have been used as templates resistance against uncontrolled oxidation, abrasion, and to directly assemble semiconductor nanowires and corrosion.

Wojtowicz 2 Chemistry Department, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ont., KIN 6N5, Canada Abstract The principle of utilizing the non-Faradaic double-layer capacitance of electrode interfaces as a means of storinc electrical energy was suggested and utilized in technologies initiated some 37 years ago. However, only over the last ten years has major interest been manifested in commercial development of this possibility in so-called 'supercapacitors' or 'ultracapacitors' based on the large double-layer capacitance achievable at high-area, carbon powder electrodes. In parallel with the utilization of double-layer capacitance is the possibility of use of the large pseudocapacitance that is associated with e.g. electrosorption of H or metal adatoms (underpotential deposition) and especially some redox processes. Such pseudocapacitance arises when,

Physics-based electrochemical model could bridge the gap between Li+ transportation and distribution inside battery and battery performance outside. In this paper, two commercially available Li-ion anode materials: graphite and Lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12 or LTO) were selected and a physics-based electrochemical model was developed based on half-cell assembly and testing. It is found that LTO has a smaller diffusion coefficient (Ds) than graphite, which causes a larger overpotential, leading to a smaller capacity utilization and, correspondingly, a shorter duration of constant current charge or discharge. However, in large current applications, LTO performs better than graphite because its effective particle radius decreases with increasing current, leading to enhanced diffusion.

  • Effect of Radiation on the Morphology of Lithium-Ion Battery Cathodes
    Effect of Radiation on the Morphology of Lithium-ion Battery Cathodes Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dandan He, B.S. Graduate Program in Nuclear Engineering The Ohio State University 2014 Thesis Committee: Lei Cao, Advisor Tunc Aldemir Mingzhai Sun Copyright by Dandan He 2014 Abstract The Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery is widely used as power source for consumer electronic devices due to its high energy density, large specific capacity. Recently, application of the Li-ion battery has been extended to aerospace, in which the outer space’s radiation environment has more stringent requirements for the battery performance. This type of battery also provides power for critical modern rescue, sampling equipment in nuclear environment, such as the robots deployed in the aftermath of Fukushima nuclear accident. As one of the most important components of these emergency response robots, the stability of the Li-ion battery under radiation is of crucial importance. The radiation effects on materials are generally categorized into four types: ionization, atomic displacement, impurity production, and energy release. To our knowledge, there has been no definitive study of such effects on Li-ion batteries and how ionizing radiation affects Li-ion batteries’ structure, strength, deformation, and electrical properties to final failure. ii In this work, the surface morphology of the Li-ion battery cathode before and after neutron and gamma ray radiation were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Distinct particle coarsening (size increase) of the cathode after irradiation was observed, which may primarily came from the crystal boundary migration driven by internal stress due to irradiation.

  • Design and Fabrication of High Power Microbatteries and High Specific Strength Cellular Solids from Bicontinuous Microporous Hierarchical Materials
    DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF HIGH POWER MICROBATTERIES AND HIGH SPECIFIC STRENGTH CELLULAR SOLIDS FROM BICONTINUOUS MICROPOROUS HIERARCHICAL MATERIALS BY JAMES HENRY PIKUL DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor William King, Chair and Director of Research Professor Paul Braun Professor Placid Ferreira Professor John Rogers ABSTRACT An emerging paradigm in engineering design is the development of materials by constructing hierarchical assemblies of simple building blocks into complex architectures that address physics at multiple length scales. These hierarchical materials are increasingly important for the next generation of mechanical, electrical, chemical, and biological technologies. However, fabricating hierarchical materials with nm control over multiple chemistries in a scalable fashion is a challenge yet to be overcome. This dissertation reports the design and fabrication of hierarchical microbattery electrodes that demonstrate unprecedented power density as well as hierarchical cellular solids with controllable modulus and high specific strength. Self-assembly, electrodeposition and microfabrication enable the fabrication of microbatteries with hierarchical electrodes. The three-dimensional bicontinuous interdigitated microelectrode architecture improves power performance by simultaneously reducing ion and electron transport distances through the anode, cathode, and electrolyte. The microbattery power densities are up to 7.4 mW cm-2 m-1, which equals or exceeds that of the best supercapacitors and which is 2000 times higher than that of other microbatteries. A one dimensional electrochemical model of the microbatteries enables the study of physical processes that limit power performance.

  • Recent Studies on Supercapacitors with Next-Generation Structures
    micromachines Review Recent Studies on Supercapacitors with Next-Generation Structures Juho Sung and Changhwan Shin * Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 16419, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-31-290-7694 Received: 27 November 2020; Accepted: 16 December 2020; Published: 18 December 2020 Abstract: Supercapacitors have shown great potential as a possible solution to the increasing global demand for next-generation energy storage systems. Charge repositioning is based on physical or chemical mechanisms. There are three types of supercapacitors—the electrochemical double layer, the pseudocapacitor, and a hybrid of both. Each type is further subdivided according to the material used. Herein, a detailed overview of the working mechanism as well as a new method for capacitance enhancement are presented. Keywords: supercapacitor; electrical double layer capacitor; EDLC; negative capacitance; energy storage system; pseudocapacitor; micropores; nanopores; ultracapacitor; Helmholtz model 1. Introduction The Fourth Industrial Revolution, which facilitates the emergence of a hyper-connected society, is the basis for data processing between people and things as well as things and things. The essence anchored in a host of electronic devices highlights the energy consumption problem to address the ever-increasing energy demand. However, the challenge confronted (based on expenditure) is proving hard to overcome. Self-powered devices are mostly based on lithium-ion batteries, which were proposed three decades ago. They demonstrate superior properties as compared to energy storage systems (ESSs) based on other materials with the highest energy storage capacity; however, the world no longer refers to them as “perfect batteries”. Moreover, the progress of battery technology would be considered as a stumbling block to the development of electrically powered industry in some parts of the world.

  • JES2016-Transport Pseudocaps Galvanostatic.Pdf
    Journal of The Electrochemical Society, 163 (2) A229-A243 (2016) A229 Electrochemical Transport Phenomena in Hybrid Pseudocapacitors under Galvanostatic Cycling Anna L. d’Entremont, Henri-Louis Girard, Hainan Wang, and Laurent Pilon∗,z Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California 90095, USA This study aims to provide insights into the electrochemical transport and interfacial phenomena in hybrid pseudocapacitors under galvanostatic cycling. Pseudocapacitors are promising electrical energy storage devices for applications requiring large power density. They also involve complex, coupled, and multiscale physical phenomena that are difficult to probe experimentally. The present study performed detailed numerical simulations for a hybrid pseudocapacitor with planar electrodes and binary, asymmetric electrolyte under various cycling conditions, based on a first-principles continuum model accounting simultaneously for charge storage by electric double layer (EDL) formation and by faradaic reactions with intercalation. Two asymptotic regimes were identified corresponding to (i) dominant faradaic charge storage at low current and low frequency or (ii) dominant EDL charge storage at high current and high frequency. Analytical expressions for the intercalated ion concentration and surface overpotential were derived for both asymptotic regimes. Features of typical experimentally measured cell potential were physically interpreted. These insights could guide the optimization of hybrid pseudocapacitors. © The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS.

There is a growing need, for current and near-future applications, where both high energy and high power densities are required in the same material. Pseudocapacitance, a faradaic process involving surface or near surface redox reactions, offers a means of achieving high energy density at high charge–discharge rates. Here, we focus on the pseudocapacitive properties of transition metal oxides. First, we introduce pseudocapacitance and describe its electrochemical features. Then, we review the most relevant pseudocapacitive materials in DOI: 10.1039/c3ee44164d aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes. The major challenges for pseudocapacitive materials along with a future outlook are detailed at the end. Broader context The importance of electrical energy storage will continue to grow as markets for consumer electronics and electrication of transportation expand and energy storage systems for renewable energy sources begin to emerge.
