Herein, we report a new finding that 3Mg/Mg2Sn alloy can be a promising solution to the aforementioned issues in Sn-based alloy-type MIB anodes. It is shown that 3Mg/Mg2Sn, which is composed of ternary phases (crystalline Mg-rich (c-Mg), amorphous Mg-rich (a-Mg), and intermetallic Mg2Sn phases), reversibly magnesiates/...

Another critical property of an electrode material toward practical application is the ease of handling against a moist environment. Most of the O3-type transition metal oxide cathodes reported so far are moisture sensitive because of the low redox potential associated with 3d-metals. Once the cathode is exposed to air...

Unlike DC voltage exfoliation, square-wave voltage uses bulk antimony, bismuth and their compounds as the anode and platinum wire or foil as the cathode, and changes the voltage direction to perform electrochemical exfoliation in an electrolytic solution of Na2SO4 or Li2SO4. This process mainly uses oxygen-containing f...

The carefully designed combination of TM-ions and non-TM-ions suppressed the occurrences of phase transformations during electrochemical cycling in Na ‘half’ cells. More importantly, in addition to air-cum-water stability, Ti-substitution for Mn-ions was found to drastically improve the cyclic stability, with the compl...

A good dopant must endow the cathode material with superior cyclability. According to Fig. 1(a), among Cu, Ti, Mg and Zn, Mg and Zn are better dopants. From structural view, a good dopant should be able to segregate into precipitates during cycling, offering better material integration. However, when cycled at a lower ...

Although STEM-HAADF imaging has become the most widely used imaging mode in STEM, the strong atomic number dependency of STEM-HAADF contrast also means that the imaging contrast of light atoms is easily submerged by the adjacent heavy atoms.

By comparing the C 1s, Li 1s, and O 1s XPS spectra and the corresponding area proportions, we found corroborative results. Firstly, a great amount of residual carbonate on the pristine LiNiO2 surface illustrates the continued challenge in avoiding carbonate formation during calcination and quick transferal.
