Summary: The study introduces sodium citrate as a chelating agent to synthesize lithium-rich manganese (LRM) based cathode materials with high structure stability, effectively controlling the morphology of the cathode materials and benefiting Li+ diffusion. The doping of Na+ helps to prevent structure collapse during repeated charge-discharge cycles, greatly enhancing voltage stability and improving lithium storage performance. The novel strategy of morphology design and Na+ doping synergistically increases the rate capacity and voltage retention of LRM cathode materials.

Summary: Passivation of stainless steel by additives forming mass-transport blocking layers is extended to Si anodes for lithium-ion batteries, incorporating the passivator of LiF/Li2CO3 into bulk Si. The passivation mechanism is studied and it is found to enhance the (de)lithiation of Li-Si alloys, induce the formation of F-rich solid electrolyte interphase, stabilize the Si/LiF/Li2CO3 composite, and mitigate the volume change of Si anodes. The 3D passivated Si anode shows excellent cycling stability and high rate capability.

Summary: All-solid-state thin-film lithium batteries (TFLBs) are considered as the ideal wireless power sources for on-chip micro/nanodevices due to their significant advantages of safety, portability, and integration. Despite the ongoing improvements in key components like cathode, electrolyte, and anode to increase energy density, challenges and strategies from the latest materials developed for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are being leveraged for TFLBs. Recent advances in TFLBs have focused on meeting high-energy density and long-term durability demands through advanced manufacturing and characterization techniques.
