    Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are considered to be one of the most promising new battery systems due to their high theoretical energy density and low price. However, there are some problems in practical application, such as poor electrical conductivity, easy volume expansion and poor cycle stability. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are used for LSBs due to the characteristics of large specific surface area and high porosity, which can inhibit the dissolution of sulfur and improve the utilization rate of sulfur to achieve high cyclic stability of LSBs. Adding carbon materials with excellent electrical conductivity can improve the overall conductivity of the electrode. Therefore, the application of composite materials based on C/MOFs and their derivatives in LSBs cathodes has become a current research hotspot in LSBs. This article summarized some recent research progress on C/MOFs and their derivatives in LSBs cathode materials. The application of MOFs and their derivatives in LSBs electrodes was summarized and prospected.

    Anode-free lithium metal battery has become an academic hotspot due to its high theoretical capacity, energy density and low cost. However, due to the lithium-sparse property of copper foil and the high activity of lithium metal, the lithium deposition/stripping is not uniform, resulting in many problems such as lithium dendrites and excessive lithium consumption, which limits the practical application. In this paper, the advantages, challenges and solutions of anode-free lithium metal batteries were comprehensively reviewed. Four improvement strategies were discussed in detail, including modifying the current collector, constructing a stable solid electrolyte interface(SEI) film, introducing lithium supplementation technology and optimizing the electrolyte. The mechanism of the negative side affecting the deposition / stripping of lithium metal, the advantages of the positive side additional lithium source and the influence of the electrolyte on the reversibility of the anode-free lithium metal battery were discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of the four strategies and the future development direction were summarized.

However, the commercial application of lithium metal batteries still faces significant challenges, such as the uncontrolled growth of lithium dendrites and poor electrolyte interface stability, leading to poor cycling performance and even serious safety issues. Due to its unique structure, large specific surface area and good thermal stability, montmorillonite is expected to be used in lithium metal batteries to improve their electrochemical performance. Therefore, introducing montmorillonite-based materials into lithium metal batteries is considered as one of the most effective methods to solve the aforementioned problems.

    Despite their wide range of applications, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are severely degraded in terms of capacity, rate capability and lifetime at low temperatures, which greatly limits their applications in low-temperature fields. A number of factors cause poor low-temperature performance of LIBs. The microscale processes occurring near the electrode/electrolyte interface, particularly the increased energy barrier for lithium ion (Li+) desolvation at the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and the slow transport of Li+ through the SEI, play a crucial role in the low-temperature performances of LIBs. Therefore, the improvement and development of electrolytes is of significant importance for the further exploration of low-temperature LIBs. This review started by examining the factors that limit the low-temperature kinetics of LIBs, and analyzed the low-temperature rate-determining steps. It then further explored how solvents, salts, and additives improve the low-temperature performances in different battery systems. This Review is expected to provide the informative outlook for the design of the next-generation low-temperature LIBs.

    The cascading utilization of retired power lithium batteries (with a rated capacity of over 80%) can effectively alleviate the pressure of battery recycling and environmental pollution, and improve resource utilization efficiency and economic benefits. However, conducting rapid, non-destructive, and accurate state assessment of the retired batteries remains a challenge. Compared with other reported methods, electrochemical alternating current measurement of batteries and collecting data to draw impedance spectra are the core methods for studying battery states, which have two advantages: fast and non-destructive. The battery detected in this way can establish internal impedance and state correlation, and quickly complete battery state evaluation. The analysis methods of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy mainly include predicting impedance based on measurement data and machine learning methods, analyzing the changes in various equivalent components of the circuit based on equivalent circuit diagrams, and using integration algorithms to convert impedance spectroscopy into a more intuitive relaxation time distribution spectroscopy. These methods all provide analytical methods for the internal aging of batteries, providing an electrochemical basis for the relationship between the internal impedance and health status of batteries. Based on this, this article reviewed the latest research progress in combining electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with machine learning to evaluate the state of power lithium batteries both domestically and internationally, with a focus on summarizing and exploring the relationship between electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, equivalent circuit models, relaxation time distribution, and machine learning.

    Tin coating was prepared on the surface of a three-dimensional copper current collector using electrodeposition method. Furthermore, heat treatment was proceeded at 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 ℃ for 3 hours in argon atmosphere. The results show that during the heat treatment process, Sn atoms on the surface gradually diffuse into the copper substrate. When the heat treatment temperature is 600 ℃, Sn elements are uniformly distributed into the copper substrate. On this condition, the cycling performance of lithium metal batteries is the best, which can achieve stable cycling for 130 cycles under high positive active materials loading (17 mg/cm2) and low N/P ratio (0.6), at a large charge/discharge rate (0.5 C/3 C).

    The surface of lithium anode was artificially modified with SEI layer by wetting lithium metal anode in copper fluoride mixture. The effect of different concentration of fluorination solution and infiltration time on the formation of SEI film on the anode surface was systematically observed. The optimal experimental condition was selected for 10 s infiltration with 1.0% CuF2 concentration. The cycle time of lithium metal batteries, the deposition of lithium on the anode interface and the mechanical properties of SEI layer were studied by electrochemical testing and morphological characterization. The results show that the artificial SEI layer increases the cycle time of lithium batteries by 160% to 446% under different current densities, promotes the uniform deposition of lithium on the interface layer and significantly inhibits the growth of lithium dendrites. The research results have certain guiding significance for the study of long cycle and high rate charge and discharge of lithium metal batteries by surface modification.

    Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted significant attention in the field of batteries due to their high energy density, low cost, and non-toxicity, making them one of the most promising battery technologies. However, the application of lithium-sulfur batteries has been plagued by serious capacity fading primarily stemming from the pronounced shuttle effect of polysulfides. To address this issue, this study synthesized black phosphorus nanosheets to modify commercial polypropylene separators and investigate the impact of black phosphorus on the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries. The results reveal that black phosphorus exhibits excellent adhesion to the commercial separator, and the modification increases the liquid absorption of the separator, accelerating ion diffusion in the electrolyte and effectively suppressing the shuttle effect. The lithium-sulfur battery with the black phosphorene-modified separator achieves an initial discharge specific capacity of 943 mAh/g at 0.05 C, and demonstrates stable cycling performance exceeding 200 cycles at 0.1 C, leading to a significant enhancement in battery performance.

    Solid-state sulfide electrolytes have high room-temperature ionic conductivities, but their poor mechanical strength makes it difficult to prepare practical electrolyte layers. Herein, the present work proposed a strategy of pre-fiberizing polymer adhesives to achieve the solvent-free preparation of sulfide electrolyte composite membranes at room temperature, thereby enhancing the performance of all-solid-state batteries. Pre-fiberized PTFE fiber powder was prepared by the demulsification of PTFE emulsion followed by drying. An ultrathin sulfide solid electrolyte composite membrane (~35 μm) with high ionic conductivity (3.17 mS/cm) was successfully prepared using Li6PS5Cl electrolyte and roller pressing at room temperature. Using lithium cobalt oxide coated with lithium niobate (LCO@LNO) as the cathode material, a composite cathode membrane comprising the positive electrode material, electrolyte, and conductive agent was prepared via the same solvent-free process as electrolyte membranes at room temperature. An all-solid-state thin-film battery was prepared by stacking ultra-thin lithium indium alloy, electrolyte composite membrane, and cathode composite membrane, which achieves a reversible specific capacity of 134.1 mAh/g, an energy density of 188Wh/kg, and 100 stable cycles.

    With the widespread application of high-tech electronic devices on the battlefield, ensuring the safety of military lithium batteries under impact conditions becomes particularly crucial. Replicating the real battlefield environment's impact loads in the laboratory presents a considerable challenge. Current research is predominantly confined to simulation, lacking a comprehensive analysis of the damage and failure characteristics of batteries under gunshot loads. To address these issues, a study was conducted through individual battery gunshot experiments, aiming to investigate the state of charge (SOC) threshold for thermal runaway in high-energy lithium-ion batteries under impact loads. The results indicate that batteries at 50% SOC do not experience thermal runaway, whereas those with 60% or higher SOC exhibite varying degrees of thermal runaway. Batteries with 80% or higher SOC experienced intense thermal runaway accompanied by violent combustion. Subsequent analysis of battery remnants reveals that batteries with 50%, 60%, and 70% SOC retain their complete shapes after being pierced by bullets, while those with 80%, 90%, and 100% SOC are completely destroyed. These findings can provide valuable insights for the safety design of military high-energy lithium batteries under impact loads.

    The 120 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery was tested for thermal runaway in a sealed pressure chamber in an inert atmosphere. The body temperature and ambient temperature of the battery were recorded, the proportion of gas production components was analyzed, and the gas production, exhaust rate and flammability limit of the battery were calculated. As a control, experiments were carried out under the same conditions in the air atmosphere to investigate the influence of different atmospheres on the thermal runaway process of the battery. The process of battery thermal runaway goes through several stages of "temperature rise-valve opening-thermal runaway-cooling down". During thermal runaway, the ambient temperature above the battery decreases gradually. Compared with the inert atmosphere, the temperature of the battery in the air atmosphere is increased by 17.6%, the thermal runaway duration is extended by 14%, and the gas production is increased by 8.2%.

    Lithium-selenium batteries suffer from high dissolution and volume expansion of polyselenides during cycling, leading to rapid capacity fading. In this paper, the porous carbon materials with different structures and morphologies were prepared as selenium (Se) host materials through chemical activation using abundant biomass. Mesoporous carbon material (RBC) was prepared through KOH activation and high-temperature carbonization for rice bran. The pores size is about 3.53 nm. Then Se/RBC cathode was prepared by melt diffusion method. RBC provides effective physical protection for Se. Thus, Se/RBC cathode shows good electrochemical properties. The Se/RBC cathode remains specific capacity of 372 mAh/g after 200 cycles at 0.5 C with capacity retention of 88.0%. Then a micro/mesoporous carbon material (NS-PC) was prepared through ZnCl2 activation and carbonization for peanut meal. Compared with KOH, ZnCl2 shows low corrosiveness and enable NS-PC heteroatoms doping. Thus, the specific capacity of Se/NS-PC reaches 380 mAh/g after 500 cycles at 0.5 C with excellent electrochemical performance.

    Secondary combustion chamber is one of the most important parts in environmental protection equipment, especially in lithium-ion battery recycling. Since air pollution might be caused by mismatching the quantity of fuel, combustion-aiding air and other organic compound during the combustion process, a prediction method was taken out, based on thermal equilibrium and by using Matlab polyfit function, to work out the usage of LNG and combustion-aiding air. This process can be fitted for different feeding battery type, quantity and the size of combustion chamber, and provide theoretical support for adjusting process parameters in the production process. In addition, the design of the secondary combustion chamber can be based on the prediction result, which can provide a basis for precise control of the recovery process.

    The high potential generated by the cell reversal causes irreversible carbon corrosion damage to the microporous layer, which greatly shortens the durability of PEMFC. So the study of carbon corrosion in the microporous layer caused by the cell reversal has important scientific significance to strengthen the durability of PEMFC. In this study, four kinds of commercial carbon black with different degrees of graphitization were selected to prepare microporous layer, and their properties before and after high-potential corrosion were analyzed. The results show that increasing the graphitization degree of carbon black and decreasing its specific surface area, the degradation degree of physical properties such as surface hydrophilicity, surface morphology and pore structure of GDL after corrosion was alleviated, and the degradation degree of cell performance was also alleviated. The corrosion resistance of the four kinds of carbon black is acetylene black>XC-72>Ketjen Black> BP2000. The physical properties of GDL prepared by acetylene black has almost no degradation after corrosion, and the performance of cell has a lower degradation degree. This provides an important theoretical basis for developing excellent reversal tolerant anode microporous layer and improving the durability of PEMFC.

    Nickel fluoride, as a new type of cathode material for thermal batteries, has the advantages of high voltage plateau, high theoretical specific capacity, and good thermal stability. However, the poor ionic conductivity characteristics inherent in NiF2 cause its unsatisfactory actual discharge performance. Eutectic salts are common positive electrode additives, which can reduce the diffusion resistance of electrolyte ions on the surface of NiF2 positive electrode materials by utilizing their high ion conductivity characteristics in the molten state, thereby improving electrochemical performance. In this paper, it is demonstrated that LiF-LiCl-LiBr eutectic salt additives can significantly enhance the discharge performance of NiF2 cathode through microstructure analysis and electrical performance tests. By adjusting the addition amount of LiF-LiCl-LiBr eutectic salt, the stable output electrical performance of NiF2 anode material under the condition of 500 mA/cm2 was realized.
