A lithium charge storage mechanism is discovered at the interface of nano-crystallites of LiTiS2in the solid state. The surface titanium atoms can be reduced reversibly at higher voltages. Electrochemically, this appears as a pseudocapacitive effect boosting capacity greater than theoretical at high rate with no liquid electrolyte.

AbstractThis communication elucidates the charge storage mechanism of a TiO2 electrode in 1 mol dm− 3 AlCl3 for use in aqueous-ion batteries. Cyclic voltammetry studies suggest a surface contribution to charge storage and that cycle life can be improved by limiting the potential ≥ − 1.0 V vs SCE. In order to enhance this surface contribution, a simple vacuum impregnation technique was employed to improve electrode-electrolyte contact. This resulted in a significant improvement in the high rate performance of TiO2, where a capacity of 15 mA h g− 1 was maintained at the very high specific current of 40 A g− 1, a decrease of only 25% from when the electrode was cycled at 1 A g− 1. The vacuum impregnation process was also applied to copper-hexacyanoferrate, envisaged as a possible positive electrode, again resulting in significant improvements to high-rate performance. This demonstrates the potential for using this simple technique for improving electrode performance in other aqueous electrolyte battery systems.

<p>Rechargeable aqueous aluminium batteries are the subject of growing interest, but the charge storage mechanisms at manganese oxide-based cathodes remain poorly understood with as many mechanisms as studies. Here, we use an original <i>in situ</i> spectroelectrochemical methodology to unambiguously demonstrate that the reversible proton-coupled MnO<sub>2</sub>-to-Mn<sup>2+</sup> conversion is the main charge storage mechanism occurring at MnO<sub>2</sub> cathodes over a range of slightly acidic Al<sup>3+</sup>-based aqueous electrolytes. In Zn/MnO<sub>2</sub> assemblies, this mechanism is associated with high gravimetric capacity and discharge potentials, up to 560 mAh·g<sup>-1</sup> and 1.76 V respectively, attractive efficiencies (<i>CE</i> > 98.5 % and <i>EE</i> > 80%) and excellent cyclability (> 750 cycles at 10 A·g<sup>-1</sup>). Finally, we conducted a critical analysis of the data previously published on MnO<sub>x</sub> cathodes in Al<sup>3+</sup>-based aqueous electrolytes to conclude on a universal charge storage mechanism, <i>i.e.</i>, the reversible electrodissolution/electrodeposition of MnO<sub>2</sub>.<i></i></p>
