Most representatively, high-voltage ester-based electrolytes required by the cathodes present poor interfacial compatibility with the anodes due to unstable solid electrode interphase(SEI). Herein, Fe S@N,S-C(spindle-like Fe S nanoparticles individually encapsulated in N,S-doped carbon) with excellent structural stability is synthesized as a potential sodium anode material. It exhibits exceptional interfacial stability in ester-based electrolyte(1 M NaClO_(4) in ethylene carbonate/propylene carbonate with 5% fluoroethylene carbonate) with long-cycling lifespan(294 days) in Na|Fe S@N,S-C coin cell and remarkable cyclability in pouch cell(capacity retention of 82.2% after 170 cycles at 0.2 A g^(-1)).DFT calculation reveals that N,S-doping on electrode surface could drive strong repulsion to solvated Na_(2) and preferential adsorption to ClO_(4)^(-) anion, guiding the anion-rich inner Helmholtz plane.Consequently, a robust SEI with rich inorganic species(NaCl and Na_(2)O) through the whole depth stabilizes the electrode–electrolyte interface and protects its integrity. This work brings new insight into the role of electrode’s surface properties in interfacial compatibility that can guide the design of more versatile electrodes for advanced rechargeable metal-ion batteries.展开更多

The LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.1)O_2 and Si O-C exhibited excellent electrochemical performance in both half and full cells. Specifically, when integrated into a full cell configuration, a high energy density(280 Wh·kg^(-1)) with excellent rate capability and long cycle life was attained. At 0.5 C, the full cell retained 80% of its initial capacity after 200 charge/discharge cycles, and 60% after 600 cycles, indicating robust structural tolerance for the repeated insertion/extraction of Li^+ ions. The rate performance showed that, at high rate of 1 C and 2 C, 96.8% and 93% of the initial capacity were retained, respectively. The results demonstrate strong potential for the development of high energy density Li-ion batteries for practical applications.展开更多
