NASICON-type Li[Formula: see text]Al[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text](PO[Formula: see text] (LATP) solid electrolytes have been widely studied because of its stability in the air, low material price and high ionic conductivity. Gd-doped Li[Formula: see text]Al[Formula: see text]Gd[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text](PO[Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]= 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075 and 0.1) with high ionic conductivity was successfully synthesized by solvothermal method for the first time in this work. The effect of Gd doping content on the structure and electrochemical performance of solid electrolytes was systematically studied. The optimal doping content of Gd is [Formula: see text]= 0.075. With the Gd doping content of 0.075, the solid electrolyte has the highest ionic conductivity of 4.23 × 10[Formula: see text] S cm[Formula: see text] at room temperature, the lowest activation energy of 0.247 eV and the highest relative density of 94.89%. This is because the fact that when [Formula: see text]= 0.075, it is the maximum content of Gd[Formula: see text] to replace Al[Formula: see text] and can completely enter the lattice of LATP, and does not emerge too much non-lithium ion conductive GdPO4 phase.

ABSTRACTLithium solid electrolyte with NASICON structure in the form of Li1+2xAlxTi2−xSixP3−xO12 solid solution has been prepared by high temperature solid state reaction using low cost kaolin as the starting material. The crystal structure of the solid solution was investigated by powder X-ray diffraction. The AC impedance measurements indicate that ionic conductivity increased by more than one order of magnitude when a small amount of Al3+ and Si4+ ions were incorporated into the LiTi2(PO4)3 crystal structure. The significant improvement on ionic conductivity can be attributed to the increased interstitial Li+ ions in the crystal structure. The highest ionic conductivity was found in Li1.2Al0.1Ti1.9Si0.1P2.9O12: 8.3 x 10-5 S·cm-1 at room temperature (21°C) and 1.5 x 10-3 S·cm-1 at 100°C.

Abstract Development of commercial solid-state batteries so far been hindered by the individual limitations of inorganic and organic solid-electrolytes, motivating hybrid concepts. However, room-temperature performance of hybrid-solid electrolytes is still insufficient in terms of ion conductivity, where especially the role and impact of the inorganic and organic interphases is largely unexplored. A key challenge is to assess the Li-ion transport over the interfaces directly and relate this to the surface chemistry. Here the lithium-ion conductivity in hybrid-solid electrolytes, the interface structure and Li+ interface transport was investigated by state-of-art solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance methodologies. In a hybrid-solid Polyethylene oxide polymer – inorganic electrolyte, two representative types of ionic liquids, having a different miscibility with the polymer, were used as a benchmark to tailor the local environment at the interface between the inorganic and organic solid electrolytes species. The poor miscibility ionic liquid wets the polymer-inorganic interface and raises the local polarizability, thereby lowering the diffusional barrier, which activates the high conductivity of the inorganic solid-electrolyte, resulting in and overall room temperature conductivity of 0.25 mS/cm. A very high critical current density of 0.25 mA/cm2 versus a Li-metal anode is achieved, demonstrating improved stability, and a LiFePO4 – Li-metal full solid-state cell can be cycled at room temperature at an Coulombic efficiency of 99.9%. The local interface environment between the solid electrolyte phases in hybrid solid electrolytes, is thus demonstrated to be the bottleneck and tailoring the interface properties appears a viable route towards the design of highly conducting hybrid-solid electrolyte concepts.

AbstractLi-ion-conducting chloride solid electrolytes receive considerable attention due to their physicochemical characteristics such as high ionic conductivity, deformability and oxidative stability. However, the raw materials are expensive, and large-scale use of this class of inorganic superionic conductors seems unlikely. Here, a cost-effective chloride solid electrolyte, Li2ZrCl6, is reported. Its raw materials are several orders of magnitude cheaper than those for the state-of-the-art chloride solid electrolytes, but high ionic conductivity (0.81 mS cm–1 at room temperature), deformability, and compatibility with 4V-class cathodes are still simultaneously achieved in Li2ZrCl6. Moreover, Li2ZrCl6 demonstrates a humidity tolerance with no sign of moisture uptake or conductivity degradation after exposure to an atmosphere with 5% relative humidity. By combining Li2ZrCl6 with the Li-In anode and the single-crystal LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 cathode, we report a room-temperature all-solid-state cell with a stable specific capacity of about 150 mAh g–1 for 200 cycles at 200 mA g–1.

Background: The unnatural levels of dopamine (DA) result in serious neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Electrochemical methods which have the obvious advantages of simple operation and low-cost instrumentation were widely used for determination of DA. In order to improve the measurement performance of the electrochemical sensor, molecular imprinting technique and graphene have always been employed to increase the selectivity and sensitivity. Methods: An electrochemical sensor which has specific selectivity to (DA) was proposed based on the combination of a molecular imprinting polymer (MIP) with a graphene (GR) modified gold electrode. The performance and effect of MIP film were investigated by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) in the solution of 5.0 ×10-3 mol/L K3[Fe(CN)6] and K4[Fe(CN)6] with 0.2 mol/L KCl at room temperature. Results: This fabricated sensor has well repeatability and stability, and was used to determine the dopamine of urine. Under the optimized experiment conditions, the current response of the imprinted sensor was linear to the concentration of dopamine in the range of 1.0×10-7 ~ 1.0×10-5 mol/L, the linear equation was I (µA) = 7.9824+2.7210lgc (mol/L) with the detection limit of 3.3×10-8 mol/L. Conclusion: In this work, a highly efficient sensor for determination of DA was prepared with good sensitivity by GR and great selectivity of high special recognization ability by molecular imprinting membrane. This proposed sensor was used to determine the dopamine in human urine successfully.

Materials and processing of transparent electrodes (TEs) are key factors to creating high-performance translucent perovskite solar cells. To date, sputtered indium tin oxide (ITO) has been a general option for a rear TE of translucent solar cells. However, it requires a rather high cost due to vacuum process and also typically causes plasma damage to the underlying layer. Therefore, we introduced TE based on ITO nanoparticles (ITO-NPs) by solution processing in ambient air without any heat treatment. As it reveals insufficient conductivity, Ag nanowires (Ag-NWs) are additionally coated. The ITO-NPs/Ag-NW (0D/1D) bilayer TE exhibits a better figure of merit than sputtered ITO. After constructing CsPbBr3 perovskite solar cells, the device with 0D/1D TE offers similar average visible transmission with the cells with sputtered ITO. More interestingly, the power conversion efficiency of 0D/1D TE device was 5.64%, which outperforms the cell (4.14%) made with sputtered-ITO. These impressive findings could open up a new pathway for the development of low-cost, translucent solar cells with quick processing under ambient air at room temperature.
