The CALPHAD(CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) approach enables calculation of stable and metastable phase equilibria,as well as thermodynamic properties for various materials,w hich has been applied to accelerate modern materials design in recent years. The traditional trial-and-error method is being replaced by the integration of CALPHAD with first-principles calculations,as well as empirical methods and key experiments. The CALPHAD approach and first-principles calculations have been proved to be a powerful tool in studying electrode materials, not only for calculation of phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties,but also for prediction of cell voltages in Li ion batteries,which allows for the design of future electrode materials with improved stability and efficiency. Examples of the cathode systems(Li-O,Li-Co-O and Li-Ni-O) and anode systems(Li-Sb and Li-Sn),which are studied by applying the CALPHAD approach and first-principles calculations,are presented.展开更多

In industry, high purity silicon is firstly prepared by carbothermic reduction of silica with the produced raw silicon being further refined by a modified Siemens method. This process suffers from the disadvantages of high cost and contaminant release and emission. As an alternative, the molten salt electrolysis approach, particularly the FFC Cambridge Process(FFC: Fray-Farthing-Chen), could realize high purity silicon products with morphology-controllable nanostructures at low or mild temperatures(generally 650–900 ℃). In this article, we review the development, reaction mechanisms, and electrolysis conditions of silicon production by the FFC Cambridge Process. Applications of the silicon products from electrolysis in molten salts are also discussed in terms of energy applications, including using them as the photovoltaic element in solar cells and as the charge storage phase in the negative electrode(negatrode) of lithium ion batteries.展开更多

However, local surface chemistry, which was confirmed that can block ion transfer and limit redox reaction, has a significant effect on electrochemical performance.

We demonstrate that it improves the kinetics of Li-ion transport between the electrolyte and electrode. As a result, a lower interfacial charge transfer impedance was obtained. The electrochemical measurement exhibited that a nearly 2-fold increase of specific capacity was achieved for the annealed MXene.展开更多
