We report an effective approach to fabricate layered-spinel capped nanotube assembled 3D Li-rich hierarchitectures as a cathode material for Li-ion batteries. The resultant material exhibits a reduced first-cycle irreversible capacity loss, rapid Li-ion diffusion rate and excellent cycle stability.

Lithium iron phosphate LiFePO<sub>4</sub> triphylite is now one of the core positive electrode (cathode) materials enabling the Li-ion battery technology for stationary energy storage applications, which are important for broad implementation of the renewable energy sources. Despite the apparent simplicity of its crystal structure and chemical composition, LiFePO<sub>4</sub> is prone to off-stoichiometry and demonstrates rich defect chemistry owing to variations in the cation content and iron oxidation state, and to the redistribution of the cations and vacancies over two crystallographically distinct octahedral sites. The importance of the defects stems from their impact on the electrochemical performance, particularly on limiting the capacity and rate capability through blocking the Li ion diffusion along the channels of the olivine-type LiFePO<sub>4</sub> structure. Up to now the polyanionic (i.e. phosphate) sublattice has been considered idle on this playground. Here, we demonstrate that under hydrothermal conditions up to 16% of the phosphate groups can be replaced with hydroxyl groups yielding the Li<sub>1-x</sub>Fe<sub>1+x</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>1-y</sub>(OH)<sub>4y</sub> solid solutions, which we term “hydrotriphylites”. This substitution has tremendous effect on the chemical composition and crystal structure of the lithium iron phosphate causing abundant population of the Li-ion diffusion channels with the iron cations and off-center Li displacements due to their tighter bonding to oxygens. These perturbations trigger the formation of an acentric structure and increase the activation barriers for the Li-ion diffusion. The “hydrotriphylite”-type substitution also affects the magnetic properties by progressively lowering the Néel temperature. The off-stoichiometry caused by this substitution critically depends on the overall concentration of the precursors and reducing agent in the hydrothermal solutions, placing it among the most important parameters to control the chemical composition and defect concentration of the LiFePO<sub>4</sub>-based cathodes.

Sulfonated porous aromatic frameworks (SPAFs) accelerate Li-ion diffusion while retarding the polysulfide shuttle effect in Li–S batteries. This leads to high residual capacity above 1000 mA h g−1 and coulombic efficiency (>99.5%) after 500 cycles.

In this work, the pristine and Ag-composited TiO2-Bronze (TiO2-B) nanowires are successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method using anatase(P25) as titanium source. The SEM, TEM results reveal that the silver particles are well distributed on the TiO2-B nanowires. Also, the TiO2-B/Ag nanowires are dispersed very well, which demonstrate more Li-ion insertion/extraction hosts exposed to the electrolyte. Moreover, the electrochemical performance tests suggest that compared with the pristine TiO2-B, the Ag-composited TiO2-B (TiO2-B/Ag) shows remarkably higher capacities (~286mAhg-1, closing to the theoretical capacity) and superior rate capability. The reasons causing this performance difference are ascribed to the added silver particles, which could reduce the Li-ion diffusion length and improve the material electrical conductivity.
