Olivine-type LiFePO4 is widely considered as a cathode for lithium-ion batteries owing to its environmental friendliness and low-cost, yet its applicability in the pristine state is limited due to poor electronic and ionic conductivity. To investigate the conductivity enhancement of LiFePO4, first-principles method under the GGA+U framework is implemented to study effects of doping with Ti4+ at Fe2+ sites under the lithium-deficient environment. LiFePO4 crystal and electronic structures as well as conductivity are investigated. Ti doping creates the impurity states at the acceptor level, which are normally degenerate states, but split into multiple states by the crystal field splitting. Doping under the lithium-deficient environment induces small hole polarons localizing at the Fe atoms and creates defect states located in the intermediate band. Both phenomena combine to facilitate charge carrier hopping. The climbing-image nudge elastic band (cNEB) calculation shows that Li hopping can be promoted by doping with high Ti concentration. This co-doping mechanism therefore can enhance both the electronic and ionic conductivities, which can be beneficial benchmark for cathode-material synthesis in the future.

Rechargeable magnesium ion batteries (MIBs) have great potential as an alternative technology to substitute resource-limited lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but rather difficult transportation of Mg2+ in cathodes and hence low cathode capacities loom as a major roadblock for their applications.

The battery energy storage systems are very essential for maintaining constant power supply when using solar photovoltaic systems for power generation. The viability and ability of battery energy storage systems are assessed based on battery usage in Solar Photovoltaic utility grid-connected systems. The power supply quality and reliability are improved by utilizing battery energy storage technologies in conjunction with solar photovoltaic systems. This paper presents a comparative analysis of Lead-Acid Storage battery and Lithium-ion battery banks connected to a utility grid. The battery mathematical model simulation study gives their performance characteristics of these batteries under grid-connected loads. Cost-benefit analysis of battery usage for determining the best battery suitable for solar photovoltaic system applications is also presented in this paper.

A method for sizing battery energy storage (BES) systems for use in mitigating voltage flicker caused by solar intermittency in photovoltaic generation was developed. The method creates a "design day" from existing solar data and designs the power and energy requirements for a BES system that can help a photovoltaic facility mitigate flicker caused by solar activity associated with the design day. An economic analysis of lead-acid and lithium-ion options for the BES was also developed. The method was then applied to a proposed photovoltaic project in the Midwestern United States.

Organic electrode materials are receiving ever-increasing research interest due to their combined advantages, including resource renewability, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, their practical applications are still terribly plagued by low conductivity, poor rate capability, solubility in electrolyte, and low density/utilization of active groups. In response, herein, as a proof-of-concept experiment, C=N and C=O bonds are synergically integrated into the backbone of pentacene to finely tune the electronic structures of pentacene. Unexpectedly, the firstly obtained unique 5,7,11,14-tetraaza-6,13-pentacenequinone/reduced graphene oxide (TAPQ/RGO) composite exhibits superior electrochemical performances, including an ultra-stable cycling stability (up to 2400 cycles) and good rate capability (174 mAh g−1 even at a high current density of 3.2 A g−1), which might be attributed to the abundant active groups, π-conjugated molecular structure, leaf-like morphology, and the interaction between TAPQ and graphene.
