The spinel Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) has emerged as a promising anode material for the next generation of all-solid-state Li-ion batteries (ASSB), primarily due to its characteristic "zero strain" charge/discharge behavior and exceptional cycling…
Describing Li-ion battery positive electrodes in terms of distinct transition metal or oxygen redox regimes can lead to confusion in understanding metal-ligand hybridisation, oxygen dimerisation, and degradation. There is a pressing need to…
Transparent conducting or semiconducting oxides are important materials for (transparent) optoelectronics and power electronics applications. While most of these oxides can be doped n-type only with room-temperature electron mobilities on…
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are considered as an efficient alternative for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to the natural abundance and low cost of sodium than lithium. In this context, the anode materials play a vital role in…
Although LiNiO$_2$ is chemically similar to LiCoO$_2$ and offers a nearly identical theoretical capacity, LiNiO$_2$ and related Co-free Ni-rich cathode materials suffer from degradation during electrochemical cycling that has prevented…
Developing sustainable battery electrode manufacturing methods is particularly pressing for alloying-type active materials, such as silicon, which often require additional energy-intensive and solvent-based processing to reinforce them with…
A 3D mechanical stable scaffold is shown to accommodate the volume change of a high specific capacity nickel-tin nanocomposite Li-ion battery anode. When the nickel-tin anode is formed on an electrochemically inactive conductive scaffold…
The biggest challenge for the commercialization of layered structured nickel rich lithium transition metal oxide cathode is the capacity and voltage fading. Resolving this problem over the years follows an incremental progress. In this…

The development of silicon anodes to replace conventional graphite in efforts to increase energy densities of lithium-ion batteries has been largely impeded by poor interfacial stability against liquid electrolytes. Here, stable operation…
Achieving reversible anode-free solid-state batteries hinges on controlling alkali-metal plating and stripping at buried interfaces, yet the underlying nanoscale mechanisms remain unresolved. Here we introduce virtual-electrode low-energy…
Traditional cobalt selenides as active materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) would suffer from drastic volume expansions and large stacking effects, leading to a low cycling stability. In this work, we…
Spinel lithium manganese oxide (LixMn2O4) is used as an active material in battery cathodes. It is a relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly material, but suffers from capacity fade during use. The capacity losses are generally…
Compact solid discharge products enable energy storage devices with high gravimetric and volumetric energy densities, but solid deposits on active surfaces can disturb charge transport and induce mechanical stress. In this Letter we develop…
We report the observation of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) at the $(110)$ surface of the transparent bulk insulator SnO$_2$, and the tunability of its carrier density by means of temperature or Eu deposition. The 2DES is…
Superoxide-based non-aqueous metal oxygen batteries have received considerable research attention, as they exhibit high energy densities and round-trip efficiencies. The cycling performance, however, is still poor. Here we study the cycling…
Zinc-ion batteries are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, offering advantages in safety, cost, and environmental impact. However, their performance is often limited by the functioning of the zinc anode. This study employs…
Sodium-titanate \ce{Na2Ti3O7} (NTO) is regarded as a highly promising anode material with a very low voltage for Na-ion batteries and capacitors, but suffered from relatively low specific capacity and poor electron conductivity. Here we…
