Summary: The morphology of Li2O2 discharge products in lithium-air batteries is determined by a seed layer formed by the combination of a cathode and an electrolyte, leading to improved reversibility and cyclability. The formation of a favorable interface between the carbon electrode and electrolyte also enhances oxygen evolution reaction, minimizing electrolyte decomposition. These advancements demonstrate critical progress towards practical applications of lithium-air batteries with good reversibility in pouch-type cell arrangements with 1.34 Ah.

Summary: Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), are essential for future electric vehicles and energy storage systems. While the recycling of spent SIBs and LIBs face similar environmental and economic challenges, the recycling of SIBs is more economically demanding. Proactive strategies must be implemented during the early commercialization stage to ensure easy recycling, low operation costs, and optimal efficiency of SIBs. This Perspective article provides an overview of the components of SIBs, discusses recycling strategies, and highlights the challenges and future prospects of SIB recycling.

Summary: Secondary zinc-air batteries (ZABs) show potential as sustainable energy storage, but their current capability is unsatisfactory. The limitations are mainly due to the air electrodes, hindering practical applications and commercialization. This study explores the use of metallic nickel as a conductive additive in the air electrodes, compared to carbon nanotubes (CNT), and demonstrates that the density and interaction of the additive with the active material are crucial for achieving long cycle life. The use of Ni as a conductive agent significantly increased the cycle life of secondary ZABs, delivering more than 2,400 cycles compared to only 88 cycles for carbon-based batteries.

Summary: In this study, oxygen vacancy-rich porous perovskite oxide (CaMnO3) nanofibers coated with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were developed as the air electrode catalyst for low-temperature and knittable Zn-air batteries. The V-CMO/rGO exhibited top-level oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity among perovskite oxides and showed impressive kinetics under low temperature. The V-CMO/rGO demonstrated high peak power density of 56 mW cm(-2) and long cycle life of over 80 h at a low temperature of -40°C.

Summary: In this work, Ag@NiO is prepared as a highly efficient air electrode catalyst for Li-O2 batteries, using the interface and doping synergistic effect engineering strategy. The interface binding between Ag and NiO is strengthened by generating Ag nanoparticles on the surface of NiO, and the electronic structure is regulated after Ag+ doping, leading to more active sites and high conductivity which boost the catalytic activity. Therefore, Ag@NiO exhibits superior electrochemical performance and opens up new paths for highly efficient air electrode catalysts of Li-O2 batteries through the interface and doping synergistic effect engineering strategy.
