    Abstract Millions of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road are powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on nickel-rich layered oxide (NRLO) cathodes, and they suffer from a limited driving range and safety concerns. Increasing the Ni content is a key way to boost the energy densities of LIBs and alleviate the EV range anxiety, which are, however, compromised by the rapid performance fading. One unique challenge lies in the worsening of the microstructural stability with a rising Ni-content in the cathode. In this review, we focus on the latest advances in the understanding of NLRO microstructures, particularly the microstructural degradation mechanisms, state-of-the-art stabilization strategies, and advanced characterization methods. We first elaborate on the fundamental mechanisms underlying the microstructural failures of NRLOs, including anisotropic lattice evolution, microcracking, and surface degradation, as a result of which other degradation processes, such as electrolyte decomposition and transition metal dissolution, can be severely aggravated. Afterwards, we discuss representative stabilization strategies, including the surface treatment and construction of radial concentration gradients in polycrystalline secondary particles, the fabrication of rod-shaped primary particles, and the development of single-crystal NRLO cathodes. We then introduce emerging microstructural characterization techniques, especially for identification of the particle orientation, dynamic changes, and elemental distributions in NRLO microstructures. Finally, we provide perspectives on the remaining challenges and opportunities for the development of stable NRLO cathodes for the zero-carbon future.

    Abstract Solar photochemical means of splitting water (artificial photosynthesis) to generate hydrogen is emerging as a viable process. The solar thermochemical route also promises to be an attractive means of achieving this objective. In this paper we present different types of thermochemical cycles that one can use for the purpose. These include the low-temperature multistep process as well as the high-temperature two-step process. It is noteworthy that the multistep process based on the Mn(II)/Mn(III) oxide system can be carried out at 700 °C or 750 °C. The two-step process has been achieved at 1,300 °C/900 °C by using yttrium-based rare earth manganites. It seems possible to render this high-temperature process as an isothermal process.

    Abstract Topochemistry enables step-by-step conversions of solid-state materials often leading to metastable structures that retain initial structural motifs. Recent advances in this field revealed many examples where relatively bulky anionic constituents were actively involved in redox reactions during (de)intercalation processes. Such reactions are often accompanied by anion-anion bond formation, which heralds possibilities to design novel structure types disparate from known precursors, in a controlled manner. Here we present the multistep conversion of layered oxychalcogenides Sr

    Abstract Among the many efforts to devise thermochemical cycles to generate H2 by water splitting, the Mn(ii)/Mn(iii) oxide based cycle operating at 850 °C is a significant one and involves no toxic and corrosive materials. The essential process in this cycle is the shuttling of Na+ ions in and out of Mn oxides. In an effort to bring down the temperature of this cycle, we have found that the use of Mn3O4 nanoparticles is particularly effective. Ball milling has been applied to decrease the particle size of commercial Mn3O4 to less than 500 nm. Thus the solid state reaction between Na2CO3 and Mn3O4 nanoparticles occurs at a temperature 200 °C lower than with bulk samples. One of the challenges of this particular cycle lies in its slow H2 evolution. It has been possible to operate this cycle and generate H2 at a much faster rate at 750 °C and even at 700 °C by this means. Furthermore, the step involving hydrolysis of NaMnO2 can be performed at 50 °C instead of 100 °C.

    Abstract "Anode-free" batteries present a significant advantage due to their substantially higher energy density and ease of assembly in a dry air atmosphere. However, issues involving lithium dendrite growth and low cycling Coulombic efficiencies during operation remain to be solved. Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation on Cu and its effect on Li plating are studied here to understand the interplay between the Cu current collector surface chemistry and plated Li morphology. A native interphase layer (N-SEI) on the Cu current collector was observed with solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (ssNMR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) studies showed that the nature of the N-SEI is affected by the copper interface composition. An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study identified a relationship between the applied voltage and SEI composition. In addition to the typical SEI components, the SEI contains copper oxides (Cu

    Abstract The effect of substitution of Al(3+), Ga(3+) and Sc(3+) ions in the Mn(3+) site of La0.5Sr0.5MnO3 on the thermochemical splitting of CO2 to generate CO has been studied in detail. Both La0.5Sr0.5Mn1-xGaxO3 and La0.5Sr0.5Mn1-xScxO3 give high yields of O2 and generate CO more efficiently than La0.5Sr0.5Mn1-xAlxO3 or the parent La0.5Sr0.5MnO3. Substitution of even 5% Sc(3+) (x = 0.05) results in a remarkable improvement in performance. Thus La0.5Sr0.5Mn0.95Sc0.05O3 produces 417 μmol g(-1) of O2 and 545 μmol g(-1) of CO, respectively, i.e. 2 and 1.7 times more O2 and CO than La0.5Sr0.5MnO3. This manganite also generates H2 satisfactorily by the thermochemical splitting of H2O.
