Flexible and freestanding MoO2/Mo2C ICFs have been synthesized via an integrated procedure. The MoO2/Mo2C ICFs derived from phosphomolybdic acid presented more highly porous structures than those derived from molybdic acid, resulting in an enhanced energy storage performance for lithium ion batteries.

The lithium-ion battery (LIB) has emerged as a key energy storage device for a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to transportation. While LIBs have made key advancements in these areas, limitations remain for Li-ion batteries with respect to affordability, performance, and reliability. These challenges have encouraged the exploration for more advanced materials and novel chemistries to mitigate these limitations. The continued development of Li-ion and other advanced batteries is an inherently multiscale problem that couples electrochemistry, transport phenomena, mechanics, microstructural morphology, and device architecture. Observing the internal structure of batteries, both ex situ and during operation, provides a critical capability for further advancement of energy storage technology. X-ray imaging has been implemented to provide further insight into the mechanisms governing Li-ion batteries through several 2D and 3D techniques. Ex situ imaging has yielded microstructural data from both anode and cathode materials, providing insight into mesoscale structure and composition. Furthermore, since X-ray imaging is a nondestructive process studies have been conducted in situ and in operando to observe the mechanisms of operation as they occur. Data obtained with these methods has also been integrated into multiphysics models to predict and analyze electrode behavior. The following paper provides a brief review of X-ray imaging work related to Li-ion batteries and the opportunities these methods provide for the direct observation and analysis of the multiphysics behavior of battery materials.

Zn 0.5 Co 0.5 O solid solution materials have been extensively studied for possible spintronic applications, however, there are only a few reports using Zn 0.5 Co 0.5 O nanostructures for energy storage. Here, we report the preparation of Zn 0.5 Co 0.5 O nanoparticles with the average particle size 10 nm and their application as anode material for rechargeable Li -ion batteries (LIBs). Electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the Zn 0.5 Co 0.5 O solid solution nanoparticles deliver a stable reversible capacity of 309 mA h g-1 up to 250 cycles at 1 C rate. These results show higher-rate capability and better cycle durability compared with those of the reported ZnO or ZnO -based anodes.


Subject Batteries and energy storage. Significance With the rise of renewable energies and electric vehicles, a major transition is underway in global energy markets. The key to facilitating growth in both areas is the falling cost of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Cheaper batteries have helped to reduce the cost of electric vehicles and are making large-scale energy storage on the power grid -- which is a necessity if renewables are to continue growing -- a reality. Impacts Secure access to lithium, cobalt and other battery-related materials will be vital to economic development. Competition over resources to build batteries could see protests, skirmishing and illegal trade where the resources are. Companies face higher due diligence demands when sourcing battery-producing materials.

Capacity markets (CM) are energy markets created to ensure energy supply security. Energy storage devices provide services in the CMs. Li-ion batteries are a popular type of energy storage device used in CMs. The battery lifetime is a key factor in determining the economic viability of Li-ion batteries, and current approaches for estimating this are limited. This paper explores the potential of a lithium-ion battery to provide CM services with four de-rating factors (0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h). During the CM contract, the battery experiences both calendar and cycle degradation, which reduces the overall profit. Physics-based battery and degradation models are used to quantify the degradation costs for batteries in the CM to enhance the previous research results. The degradation model quantifies capacity losses related to the solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, active material loss, and SEI crack growth. The results show that the physics-based degradation model can accurately predict degradation costs under different operating conditions, and thus can substantiate the business case for the batteries in the CM. The simulated CM profits can be increased by 60% and 75% at 5 °C and 25 °C, respectively, compared to empirical and semiempirical degradation models. A sensitivity analysis for a range of parameters is performed to show the effects on the batteries’ overall profit margins.
