Solid-state lithium metal batteries(SSLMBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional liquid lithium-ion batteries(LIBs), offering higher energy density, enhanced safety, and longer lifespan. The rise of SSLMBs has brought about a transformation in energy storage, with aluminum(Al)-based material dopants playing a crucial role in advancing the next generation of batteries. The review highlights the significance of Al-based material dopants in SSLMBs applications, particularly its contributions to solid-state electrolytes(SSEs), cathodes, anodes,and other components of SSLMBs. Some studies have also shown that Al-based material dopants effectively enhance SSE ion conductivity, stabilize electrode and SSE interfaces, and suppress lithium dendrite growth, thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance of SSLMBs. Despite the above mentioned progresses, there are still problems and challenges need to be addressed. The review offers a comprehensive insight into the important role of Al in SSLMBs and addresses some of the issues related to its applications, endowing valuable support for the practical implementation of SSLMBs.展开更多

This work is intended to investigate the deuterium-storage re- generation of a suction-cast Ti36Zr40Ni20Pd4 quasicrystal. It was found that only through hot vacuuming the quasicrystal could be refreshed from air-flow poisoning to absorb deuterium in two cycles. During the first absorption course, a pregnancy period was observed before the real deuterium uptake while deuterium was loaded rapidly during the second one. The deuterium concentration in the alloy can reach 0.011 mol.D2/（g.M） （corresponding to a hydrogen mass percent of 2.2%. D2 and M denote molecular deuterium and the metallic alloy）. But the loaded deuterium was very difficult to release completely even by eight-stage desorption at different tem- peratures. After the second desorption, the quasicrystal phase remained in a small volume, as though the desorption temperature was beyond the crystallization temperature of the quasicrystal. This probably is attributed to the solution function of residual deuterium in the alloy.展开更多
