OCSiAl Group’s Post

This is one of the interesting studies published this year. Congratulations to Prof. Wen-Wei Wu’s group, led by 沈芳君 as the first author, and also to all of the authors from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (Taiwan), Forschungszentrum Jülich - IEK-1 (Germany), and Feng Chia University (Taiwan). I am glad to be one of the collaborators from Prof. 張仍奎Jeng-Kuei Chang’s group in this research work for the operando XRD experiment and analysis part for an NVP-based all-solid-state sodium battery. In this study, the sodiation/desodiation process of NVP on NZSP pellet solid-state electrolyte is investigated using in situ HRTEM, operando XRD, and its exchange-correlation interaction for the structure optimization is conducted using first-principle calculations based on the density functional theory.

🌟🔋 We would like to share a high impact publication in the field of #Lithium-ion #batteries co-authored by our very own Scientific Director, Montse Casas Cabanas, and colleague, Dimitrios Chatzogiannakis, in collaboration with INSTITUT DE CIÈNCIA DE MATERIALS DE BARCELONA (ICMAB-CSIC), Umicore and ALBA Synchrotron on "Understanding charge transfer dynamics in blended positive electrodes for Li-ion batteries." 📚🔬 This study, published in Energy Storage Materials, sheds light on the intricate mechanisms of charge transfer within blended positive electrodes, marking a significant advance in #battery technology. The insights gained could lead to the development of more efficient and durable Li-ion batteries, which are crucial for #sustainable energy solutions. 🌍💡 https://lnkd.in/dKiZYk7q

🔋 ⚡ Blended electrodes can be custom-designed for specific applications if synergistic effects are well understood. In our latest study, Dimitrios Chatzogiannakis (Destiny PhD Programme MSCA COFUND PhD) looks into charge transfer dynamics in blended electrodes. We show how current distribution between blend components is influenced by their individual voltage profiles and varies across SoC. And we also captured the "buffer effect" (charge exchange between components during relaxation) in operando XRD experiments conducted at ALBA Synchrotron! In collaboration with M.Rosa Palacin (INSTITUT DE CIÈNCIA DE MATERIALS DE BARCELONA (ICMAB-CSIC)) and Umicore.

In a groundbreaking achievement, researchers at the University of Chicago San Diego have devised design principles for the world's first anode-free all-solid-state battery! This innovative design combines sodium, solid-state, and anode-free concepts, marking a significant advancement in battery technology. Lead researcher and PhD candidate Grayson Deysher highlighted the challenge and triumph of merging these ideas to create a sodium battery with energy density comparable to lithium-ion batteries. By eliminating the anode, they achieved reduced weight and volume, higher cell voltage, lower cost, and increased energy density. The team's novel architecture involves storing ions through the electrochemical deposition of alkali metal directly on the current collector. While solid electrolytes pose unique challenges compared to liquid ones, this breakthrough could revolutionize the future of energy storage.
