Summary: This work investigates the lithiation-induced swelling and deformation of three different electrode shapes under the framework of linear elasticity. The study reveals a linear relationship between lithium concentration and hydrostatic stress for all three electrode shapes. It is found that the lithium-induced swelling is proportional to the partial molal volume of lithium and the state of charge, and the swelling rate decreases over time. The constraint and geometrical shape of the electrode play crucial roles in controlling the swelling and stress evolution.

Summary: This study manufactured positive electrodes based on PAN-carbon fibers for structural batteries using a water-based slurry containing lithium iron phosphate and water-soluble binder polyethylene glycol. By optimizing different coating compositions, electrode-drying temperatures, and coating parameters, the electrode materials were successfully coated uniformly, conformably, and individually on the carbon fibers. Electrochemical characterization showed that the electrodes with 6% PEG dried at 140 degrees C had the best battery performance, with a first discharge capacity of 151 mAh g-1 and capacity retention higher than 80% after 100 cycles. The stability of the electrodes was also demonstrated through excellent capacity reversibility at multiple C-rates.

Summary: A novel strategy is designed to construct high 1T-phase purity MoS2 through the use of magnesium intercalation. The intercalated Mg forms an octahedral coordination with adjacent sulfur atoms in the MoS2 layers, ensuring high 1T-phase purity and improving the conductivity and structural stability of MoS2 anode materials. The Mg-intercalated MoS2 exhibits outstanding rate and cycling performance, and transforms into amorphous nanograins after the first cycle, resulting in outstanding lithium storage stability.

Summary: A facile fabrication method of amorphous Se4P4/graphene (Se4P4/G) hybrid anode for potassium ion batteries (PIBs) is developed using high-energy ball milling coupled with cold quenching. The Se4P4/G anode with promoted electron transfer and effective volume constraint by the graphene matrix exhibits outstanding K-storage performance and long-time durability. The Se4P4/G interface facilitates electron transfer and reduces the band gap, boosting the potassium storage capacity. This research provides a new idea to produce high-power potassium phosphide for PIBs in the future.
