Abstract
We demonstrate that an ionic liquid 1-ethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide combined with propylene carbonate and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide yields a hybrid electrolyte that enables a wide operational temperature window (-20 °C to 60 °C). When integrated into a lithium titanate‖lithium cobalt oxide full-cell configuration, high-rate capability is achieved at -20 °C with >40% retention at a C/2 cycling rate, and negligible capacity fade is observed during rate capability tests and long-term cycling at 60 °C.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries with fast-charging/discharging properties are urgently needed for the mass adoption of electric vehicles. Here, we show that fast charging/discharging, long-term stable and high energy charge-storage properties can be realized in an artificial electrode made from a mixed electronic/ionic conductor material (Fe/LixM, where M = O, F, S, N) enabled by a space charge principle. Particularly, the Fe/Li2O electrode is able to be charged/discharged to 126 mAh g-1 in 6 s at a high current density of up to 50 A g-1, and it also shows stable cycling performance for 30,000 cycles at a current density of 10 A g-1, with a mass-loading of ~2.5 mg cm-2 of the electrode materials. This study demonstrates the critical role of the space charge storage mechanism in advancing electrochemical energy storage and provides an unconventional perspective for designing high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Positive temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity (PTCR) materials with low Curie temperature have been paid increasing attention lately. In this study, PTCR materials with a Curie temperature of approximately -15 °C were investigated by La3+ doping Ba0.55Sr0.45TiO3 ceramics. It could be expected to meet the requirements of thermal management systems for low-temperature control. In addition, a trace amount of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) was employed to improve the resistivity and the PTCR performance. A significant PTCR effect was achieved with a high resistivity jump of nearly four orders of magnitude, a high temperature coefficient of ~28.76%/°C, and a narrow transition temperature span of 22 °C in the (Ba0.55Sr0.45)0.99875La0.00125Ti1.01O3-0.0025Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 ceramics. The PTCR enhancement mechanism of BNT is discussed.

Abstract
"Fast-charging" lithium-ion batteries have gained a multitude of attention in recent years since they could be applied to energy storage areas like electric vehicles, grids, and subsea operations. Unfortunately, the excellent energy density could fail to sustain optimally while lithium-ion batteries are exposed to fast-charging conditions. In actuality, the crystal structure of electrode materials represents the critical factor for influencing the electrode performance. Accordingly, employing anode materials with low diffusion barrier could improve the "fast-charging" performance of the lithium-ion battery. In this Review, first, the "fast-charging" principle of lithium-ion battery and ion diffusion path in the crystal are briefly outlined. Next, the application prospects of "fast-charging" anode materials with various crystal structures are evaluated to search "fast-charging" anode materials with stable, safe, and long lifespan, solving the remaining challenges associated with high power and high safety. Finally, summarizing recent research advances for typical "fast-charging" anode materials, including preparation methods for advanced morphologies and the latest techniques for ameliorating performance. Furthermore, an outlook is given on the ongoing breakthroughs for "fast-charging" anode materials of lithium-ion batteries. Intercalated materials (niobium-based, carbon-based, titanium-based, vanadium-based) with favorable cycling stability are predominantly limited by undesired electronic conductivity and theoretical specific capacity. Accordingly, addressing the electrical conductivity of these materials constitutes an effective trend for realizing fast-charging. The conversion-type transition metal oxide and phosphorus-based materials with high theoretical specific capacity typically undergoes significant volume variation during charging and discharging. Consequently, alleviating the volume expansion could significantly fulfill the application of these materials in fast-charging batteries.

Abstract
With increasing energy storage demands across various applications, reliable batteries capable of performing in harsh environments, such as extreme temperatures, are crucial. However, current lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) exhibit limitations in both low and high-temperature performance, restricting their use in critical fields like defense, military, and aerospace. These challenges stem from the narrow operational temperature range and safety concerns of existing electrolyte systems. To enable LIBs to function effectively under extreme temperatures, the optimization and design of novel electrolytes are essential. Given the urgency for LIBs operating in extreme temperatures and the notable progress in this research field, a comprehensive and timely review is imperative. This article presents an overview of challenges associated with extreme temperature applications and strategies used to design electrolytes with enhanced performance. Additionally, the significance of understanding underlying electrolyte behavior mechanisms and the role of different electrolyte components in determining battery performance are emphasized. Last, future research directions and perspectives on electrolyte design for LIBs under extreme temperatures are discussed. Overall, this article offers valuable insights into the development of electrolytes for LIBs capable of reliable operation in extreme conditions.

Abstract
Batteries may degrade fast at extreme temperatures, posing a challenge in meeting the dual requirements of heat preservation at low temperatures and efficient cooling at high temperatures. To address this issue, we propose a cavity structure-based active controllable thermal switch. It has a potential switch ratio (SR) of approximately 300, with an experimental SR of 15.4. Furthermore, the thermal resistance can be actively controlled. The "OFF State" of the thermal switch increases energy discharge at low temperatures. Pre-heating with the "OFF State" consumes only 60% of the energy required in the "ON State". By employing the "ON State" at an ambient temperature of 20°C, the battery temperature can be maintained below 35°C. And the "ON + State" keeps the maximum battery temperature remaining below 42°C under extreme conditions. These findings demonstrate that the implementation of the proposed thermal switch enhances the usability of batteries in extreme environments.

Abstract
With the accelerated penetration of the global electric vehicle market, the demand for fast charging lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) that enable improvement of user driving efficiency and user experience is becoming increasingly significant. Robust ion/electron transport paths throughout the electrode have played a pivotal role in the progress of fast charging LIBs. Yet traditional graphite anodes lack fast ion transport channels, which suffer extremely elevated overpotential at ultrafast power outputs, resulting in lithium dendrite growth, capacity decay, and safety issues. In recent years, emergent multiscale porous anodes dedicated to building efficient ion transport channels on multiple scales offer opportunities for fast charging anodes. This review survey covers the recent advances of the emerging multiscale porous anodes for fast charging LIBs. It starts by clarifying how pore parameters such as porosity, tortuosity, and gradient affect the fast charging ability from an electrochemical kinetic perspective. We then present an overview of efforts to implement multiscale porous anodes at both material and electrode levels in diverse types of anode materials. Moreover, we critically evaluate the essential merits and limitations of several quintessential fast charging porous anodes from a practical viewpoint. Finally, we highlight the challenges and future prospects of multiscale porous fast charging anode design associated with materials and electrodes as well as crucial issues faced by the battery and management level.

Abstract
Graphite anodes are prone to dangerous Li plating during fast charging, but the difficulty to identify the rate-limiting step has made a challenging to eliminate Li plating thoroughly. Thus, the inherent thinking on inhibiting Li plating needs to be compromised. Herein, an elastic solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) with uniform Li-ion flux is constructed on graphite anode by introducing a triglyme (G3)-LiNO3 synergistic additive (GLN) to commercial carbonate electrolyte, for realizing a dendrite-free and highly-reversible Li plating under high rates. The cross-linked oligomeric ether and Li3 N particles derived from the GLN greatly improve the stability of the SEI before and after Li plating and facilitate the uniform Li deposition. When 51 % of lithiation capacity is contributed from Li plating, the graphite anode in the electrolyte with 5 vol.% GLN achieved an average 99.6 % Li plating reversibility over 100 cycles. In addition, the 1.2-Ah LiFePO4 | graphite pouch cell with GLN-added electrolyte stably operated over 150 cycles at 3 C, firmly demonstrating the promise of GLN in commercial Li-ion batteries for fast-charging applications.

Abstract
The mass adoption of electric vehicles is hindered by the inadequate extreme fast charging (XFC) performance (i.e., less than 15 min charging time to reach 80% state of charge) of commercial high-specific-energy (i.e., >200 Wh/kg) lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Here, to enable the XFC of commercial LIBs, we propose the regulation of the battery's self-generated heat via active thermal switching. We demonstrate that retaining the heat during XFC with the switch OFF boosts the cell's kinetics while dissipating the heat after XFC with the switch ON reduces detrimental reactions in the battery. Without modifying cell materials or structures, the proposed XFC approach enables reliable battery operation by applying <15 min of charge and 1 h of discharge. These results are almost identical regarding operativity for the same battery type tested applying a 1 h of charge and 1 h of discharge, thus, meeting the XFC targets set by the United States Department of Energy. Finally, we also demonstrate the feasibility of integrating the XFC approach in a commercial battery thermal management system.

Abstract
Layered oxides are considered prospective state-of-the-art cathode materials for fast-charging lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owning to their economic effectiveness, high energy density, and environmentally friendly nature. Nonetheless, layered oxides experience thermal runaway, capacity decay, and voltage decay during fast charging. This article summarizes various modifications recently implemented in the fast charging of LIB cathode materials, including component improvement, morphology control, ion doping, surface coating, and composite structure. The development direction of layered-oxide cathodes is summarized based on research progress. Further, possible strategies and future development directions of layered-oxide cathodes to improve fast-charging performance are proposed.

Abstract
The pursuit of rapid charging and high energy density in commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been one of the priorities in battery research. Silicon-Carbon (Si-C), a possible substitute for graphite as an anode electrode material, is one prospect to achieving this goal. There is a debate as to whether nanoscale or the micron-scale silicon is more favourable as anode materials for LIBs. Micron-scale silicon exhibits relatively higher initial coulomb efficiency (CE) compared with nanoscale silicon, while its cycle stability is poorer. However, minimizing silicon normally benefits the cycle stability, but introduces serious side reactions, due to the large active surface for nanoscale silicon. Here, we propose silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) inlaid in micron graphite (SiQDs-in-MG) as an anode for high energy density and fast charging LIBs. The Si QDs almost eliminate the volume change typically observed in Si during long-term cycling, while the graphite blocks solvent entering the channels and contacting the SiQDs, promoting the generation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase, which is not in direct contact with the Si. SiQDs-in-MG addresses the main issues for Si-based anodes and is expected to achieve high energy density when in combination with a Lithium-Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt-Oxide (NMC) cathode in pouch cells.

Abstract
Developing fast-charging, high-temperature, and sustainable batteries is critical for the large-scale deployment of energy storage devices in electric vehicles, grid-scale electrical energy storage, and high temperature regions. Here, a transition metal-free all-organic rechargeable potassium battery (RPB) based on abundant and sustainable organic electrode materials (OEMs) and potassium resources for fast-charging and high-temperature applications is demonstrated. N-doped graphene and a 2.8 m potassium hexafluorophosphate (KPF6 ) in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DEGDME) electrolyte are employed to mitigate the dissolution of OEMs, enhance the electrode conductivity, accommodate large volume change, and form stable solid electrolyte interphase in the all-organic RPB. At room temperature, the RPB delivers a high specific capacity of 188.1 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and superior cycle life of 6000 and 50000 cycles at 1 and 5 A g-1 , respectively, demonstrating an ultra-stable and fast-charging all-organic battery. The impressive performance at room temperature is extended to high temperatures, where the high-mass-loading (6.5 mg cm-2 ) all-organic RPB exhibits high-rate capability up to 2 A g-1 and a long lifetime of 500 cycles at 70-100 °C, demonstrating a superb fast-charging and high-temperature battery. The cell configuration demonstrated in this work shows great promise for practical applications of sustainable batteries at extreme conditions.

Abstract
Sub-freezing temperature presents a significant challenge to the survival of current Li-ion batteries (LIBs) as it leads to low capacity retention and poor cell rechargeability. The electrolyte in commercial LIBs relies too heavily on ethylene carbonate (EC) to produce a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on graphite (Gr) anodes, but its high melting point (36.4 °C) severely restricts ion transport below 0 °C, causing energy loss and Li plating. Here, a class of EC-free electrolytes that exhibits remarkable low-temperature performance without compromising cell lifespan is reported. It is found that at sub-zero temperatures, EC forms highly resistive SEI that seriously impedes electrode kinetics, whereas EC-free electrolytes create a highly stable, low-impedance SEI through anion decomposition, which boosts capacity retention and eliminates Li plating during charging. Pouch-type LiCoO2 (LCO)|Gr cells with EC-free electrolytes sustain 900 cycles at 25 °C with 1 C charge/discharge, and LiNi0.85 Co0.10 Al0.05 O2 (NCA)|Gr cells last 300 cycles at -15 °C with 0.3 C charge, both among the best-performing in the literature under comparable conditions. Even at -50 °C, the NCA|Gr cell with EC-free electrolytes still delivers 76% of its room-temperature capacity, outperforming EC-based electrolytes.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have rapidly come to dominate the market owing to their high power and energy densities. However, several factors have considerably limited their widespread commercial application, including high cost, poor high-rate performance, and complex synthetic conditions. Herein, we use earth-abundant and low-cost dry-quenched coke (DQC) to prepare low-crystalline carbon as anode material for LIBs and tailor the carbon skeleton via a facile green and sustainable hydrogen treatment. In particular, DQC is initially pyrolyzed at 1000 °C, followed by hydrogen treatment at 600 °C to obtain C-1000 H2-600. The resultant C-1000 H2-600 possesses abundant active defect sites and oxygen functional groups, endowing it with high-rate capabilities (C-1000 H2-600 vs. commercial graphite: 223.98 vs. 198.5 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 with a capacity retention of about 72.79% vs. 58.05%, 196.97 vs. 109.1 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 for 64.01% vs. 31.91%), and a stable cycling life (205.5 mAh g-1 for 1000 cycles at 2 A g-1) for LIBs. This proves that as a simple moderator, hydrogen effectively tailors the microstructure and surface-active sites of carbon materials and transforms low-cost DQC into high-value advanced carbon anodes by a green and sustainable route to improve the lithium storage performance.

Abstract
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) show great potential as high-energy and high-power energy-storage devices but their attainable energy/power density at room temperature is severely reduced because of the sluggish kinetics of lithium-ion transport. Here a thermally modulated current collector (TMCC) is reported, which can rapidly cold-start ASSBs from room temperature to operating temperatures (70-90 °C) in less than 1 min, and simultaneously enhance the transient peak power density by 15-fold compared to one without heating. This TMCC is prepared by integrating a uniform, ultrathin (≈200 nm) nickel layer as a thermal modulator within an ultralight polymer-based current collector. By isolating the thermal modulator from the ion/electron pathway of ASSBs, it can provide fast, stable heat control yet does not interfere with regular battery operation. Moreover, this ultrathin (13.2 µm) TMCC effectively shortens the heat-transfer pathway, minimizes heat losses, and mitigates the formation of local hot spots. The simulated heating energy consumption can be as low as ≈3.94% of the total battery energy. This TMCC design with good tunability opens new frontiers toward smart energy-storage devices in the future from the current collector perspective.

Abstract
Range anxiety is a primary concern among present-day electric vehicle (EV) owners, which could be curtailed by maximizing the driving range per charge or reducing the charging time of the lithium-ion battery (LIB) pack. Maximizing the driving range is a multifaceted task as charging-discharging the LIB up to 100% of its nominal capacity is limited by the cell chemistry (voltage window) and cell operating conditions. Our studies on commercial LiFePO4/graphite cells show that a cycle life of 4320 is achieved at 4C rate with 80% SOC-100% DOD combination (12 min charging time), which is the highest among the works reported with this cell chemistry. Complete utilization of electrodes’ lithium during cycling resulted in the lowest cycle life of 956. This study demonstrates LIB charging-discharging protocol enabling longer driving range with quicker charging times. Besides, it might endow promising possibilities of future EV LIB packs with reduced size/weight and high safety. Cycle life of 4320 at 4C rate with LFP/graphite cell for 80% SOC-100% DOD test Lithium levels on the anode and cathode are pivotal factor in the cell cycle life Cell failure caused by nonuniform charge gradient, gas formation, and electrode deformation End-of-life cell impedance is not related to cell temperature but SOC-DOD window

Abstract
Superior fast charging is a desirable capability of lithium-ion batteries, which can make electric vehicles a strong competition to traditional fuel vehicles. However, the slow transport of solvated lithium ions in liquid electrolytes is a limiting factor. Here, a Lix Cu6 Sn5 intermetallic network is reported to address this issue. Based on electrochemical analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy mapping, it is demonstrated that the reported intermetallic network can form a high-speed solid-state lithium transport matrix throughout the electrode, which largely reduces the lithium-ion-concentration polarization effect in the graphite anode. Employing this design, superior fast-charging graphite/lithium cobalt oxide full cells are fabricated and tested under strict electrode conditions. At the charging rate of 6 C, the fabricated full cells show a capacity of 145 mAh g-1 with an extraordinary capacity retention of 96.6%. In addition, the full cell also exhibits good electrochemical stability at a high charging rate of 2 C over 100 cycles (96.0% of capacity retention) in comparison to traditional graphite-anode-based cells (86.1% of capacity retention). This work presents a new strategy for fast-charging lithium-ion batteries on the basis of high-speed solid-state lithium transport in intermetallic alloy hosts.

Abstract
Novel two-dimensional materials (2DMs) with balanced electrical conductivity and lithium (Li) storage capacity are desirable for next-generation rechargeable batteries as they may serve as high-performance anodes, improving output battery characteristics. Gaining an advanced understanding of the electrochemical behavior of lithium at the electrode surface and the changes in interior structure of 2DM-based electrodes caused by lithiation is a key component in the long-term process of the implementation of new electrodes into to a realistic device. Here, we showcase the advantages of bilayer-patched epitaxial graphene on 4H-SiC (0001) as a possible anode material in lithium-ion batteries. The presence of bilayer graphene patches is beneficial for the overall lithiation process because it results in enhanced quantum capacitance of the electrode and provides extra intercalation paths. By performing cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry measurements, we shed light on the redox behavior of lithium at the bilayer-patched epitaxial graphene electrode and find that the early-stage growth of lithium is governed by the instantaneous nucleation mechanism. The results also demonstrate the fast lithium-ion transport (~4.7–5.6 × 10−7 cm2∙s−1) to the bilayer-patched epitaxial graphene electrode. Raman measurements complemented by in-depth statistical analysis and density functional theory calculations enable us to comprehend the lithiation effect on the properties of bilayer-patched epitaxial graphene and ascribe the lithium intercalation-induced Raman G peak splitting to the disparity between graphene layers. The current results are helpful for further advancement of the design of graphene-based electrodes with targeted performance.

In response to the application requirements of secondary batteries at low temperature, an all-organic dual-ion battery with calcium perchlorate contained acetonitrile as the electrolyte (CAN-ODIB) is fabricated in this work. The electrochemical energy is stored in CAN-ODIB via the association and disassociation of calcium and perchlorate ions in perylene diimide-ethylene diamine/carbon black composite based anode and polytriphenylamine based cathode with highly reversible redox states. Benefiting from the energy storage mechanism, CAN-ODIB exhibits excellent electrochemical performances in tests with the temperature ranging from 25 to -50 °C. Especially, CAN-ODIB at -50 °C reserves ≈61% of the capacity at 25 °C (83.4 mA h g-1 ) with the current density of 0.2 A g-1 . CAN-ODIB also shows excellent cycling stability at low temperature by retaining 90.3% of the initial capacity at 1.0 A g-1 after 450 charge-discharge cycles at -30 °C. The impedance analysis of CAN-ODIB at different temperatures indicates that the low temperature performance of CAN-ODIB depends more on the electrode materials than the electrolyte, which provides the important guidance for the further design of secondary batteries operable at low temperatures.

Abstract
Extremely fast-charging lithium-ion batteries are highly desirable to shorten the recharging time for electric vehicles, but it is hampered by the poor rate capability of graphite anodes. Here, we present a previously unreported particle size and electrode porosity dual-gradient structure design in the graphite anode for achieving extremely fast-charging lithium ion battery under strict electrode conditions. We develop a polymer binder-free slurry route to construct this previously unreported type particle size-porosity dual-gradient structure in the practical graphite anode showing the extremely fast-charging capability with 60% of recharge in 10 min. On the basis of dual-gradient graphite anode, we demonstrate extremely fast-charging lithium ion battery realizing 60% recharge in 6 min and high volumetric energy density of 701 Wh liter-1 at the high charging rate of 6 C.

Abstract
With the highest energy density ever among all sorts of commercialized rechargeable batteries, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have stimulated an upsurge utilization in 3C devices, electric vehicles, and stationary energy-storage systems. However, a high performance of commercial LIBs based on ethylene carbonate electrolytes and graphite anodes can only be achieved at above -20 °C, which restricts their applications in harsh environments. Here, a comprehensive research progress and in-depth understanding of the critical factors leading to the poor low-temperature performance of LIBs is provided; the distinctive challenges on the anodes, electrolytes, cathodes, and electrolyte-electrodes interphases are sorted out, with a special focus on Li-ion transport mechanism therein. Finally, promising strategies and solutions for improving low-temperature performance are highlighted to maximize the working-temperature range of the next-generation high-energy Li-ion/metal batteries.

Abstract
TiNb2O7 (TNO) is regarded as one of the promising next-generation anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high rate capabilities, higher theoretical capacity, and higher lithiation voltage. This enables the cycling of TNO-based anodes under extreme fast charging (XFC) conditions with a minimal risk of lithium plating compared to that of graphite anodes. Here, the gas evolution in real time with TNO-based pouch cells is first reported via operando mass spectrometry. The main gases are identified to be CO2, C2H4, and O2. A solid-electrolyte interphase is detected on TNO, which continues evolving, forming, and dissolving with the lithiation and delithiation of TNO. The gas evolution can be significantly reduced when a protective coating is applied on the TNO particles, reducing the CO2 and C2H4 evolution by ∼2 and 5 times, respectively, at 0.1C in a half-cell configuration. The reduction on gas generation in full cells is even more pronounced. The surface coating also enables 20% improvement in capacity under XFC conditions.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have been considered as an advanced energy storage system owing to their high energy and power densities. However, their application in a wide temperature range is still a great challenge due to the reduced ionic conductivity of the electrolyte and the poor electric conductivity of the battery-type transition metal oxide electrodes. Herein, an all-climate LIC is well-fabricated with TiNb2O7@expanded graphite as the anode and activated carbon as the cathode in an optimized electrolyte, which can be operated within a wide temperature range from -60 to +55 °C. Benefitting from the synergetic effect of the improved electrode and electrolyte, the LIC exhibits an outstanding energy density of 119 W h kg-1 and a power density of 5110 W kg-1 based on the total mass of both negative and positive electrodes. Moreover, it can deliver a capacity retention of as high as 42% at -60 °C and function at a superior rate capability at a high temperature of +55 °C, which exhibits an all-climate feature and the potential for wide applications under some extreme conditions.

Abstract
There has been rapidly growing interest in developing fast-charging batteries for electric vehicles. The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer formed at the graphite/electrolyte interface plays an important role in determining the lithiation rate of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, we investigated lithium-ion transport behavior in thin-film graphite electrodes with different graphite particle sizes and morphologies for understanding the role of the SEI layer in fast charging LIBs. We varied the properties of the SEI by changing the current rate during the SEI formation. We observed that forming the SEI layer at a much higher current density than is traditionally used leads to a substantial reduction in electrode impedance and a corresponding increase in ion diffusivity. This enables thin-film graphite electrodes to be charged at current rates as high as 12 C (i.e., about 5 min charging time), demonstrating that graphite is not necessarily prevented from fast charging. By comparing the SEI layers formed at different current densities, we observed that lithium-ion diffusivity across the SEI layer formed on a 23 μm commercial graphite at a current density currently used in the industry (e.g., 0.1 C) is approximately 8.9 × 10-10 cm2/s.

Abstract
Novel intelligent battery systems are gaining importance with functional hardware on the cell level. Cell-level hardware allows for advanced battery state monitoring and thermal management, but also leads to additional thermal interactions. In this work, an electro-thermal framework for the modeling of these novel intelligent battery cells is provided. Thereby, a lumped thermal model, as well as a novel neural network, are implemented in the framework as thermal submodels. For the first time, a direct comparison of a physics-based and a data-driven thermal battery model is performed in the same framework. The models are compared in terms of temperature estimation with regard to accuracy. Both models are very well suited to represent the thermal behavior in novel intelligent battery cells. In terms of accuracy and computation time, however, the data-driven neural network approach with a Nonlinear AutoregRessive network with eXogeneous input (NARX) shows slight advantages. Finally, novel applications of temperature prediction in battery electric vehicles are presented and the applicability of the models is illustrated. Thereby, the conventional prediction of the state of power is extended by simultaneous temperature prediction. Additionally, temperature forecasting is used for pre-conditioning by advanced cooling system regulation to enable energy efficiency and fast charging.

Abstract
The degradation of lithium-ion cells with respect to increases of internal resistance (IR) has negative implications for rapid charging protocols, thermal management and power output of cells. Despite this, IR receives much less attention than capacity degradation in Li-ion cell research. Building on recent developments on ‘knee’ identification for capacity degradation curves, we propose the new concepts of ‘elbow-point’ and ‘elbow-onset’ for IR rise curves, and a robust identification algorithm for those variables. We report on the relations between capacity’s knees, IR’s elbows and end of life for the large dataset of the study. We enhance our discussion with two applications. We use neural network techniques to build independent state of health capacity and IR predictor models achieving a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 0.4% and 1.6%, respectively, and an overall root mean squared error below 0.0061. A relevance vector machine, using the first 50 cycles of life data, is employed for the early prediction of elbow-points and elbow-onsets achieving a MAPE of 11.5% and 14.0%, respectively.

Abstract
Graphite, an essential component of energy storage devices, is traditionally synthesized via an energy-intensive thermal process (Acheson process) at ∼3300 K. However, the battery performance of such graphite is abysmal under fast-charging conditions, which is deemed essential for the propulsion of electric vehicles to the next level. Herein, a low-temperature electrochemical transformation approach has been demonstrated to afford a highly crystalline nano-graphite with the capability of tuning interlayer spacing to enhance the lithium diffusion kinetics in molten salts at 850 °C. The essence of our strategy lies in the effective electrocatalytic transformation of carbon to graphite at a lower temperature that could significantly increase the energy savings, reduce the cost, shorten the synthesis time, and replace the traditional graphite synthesis. The resulting graphite exhibits high purity, crystallinity, a high degree of graphitization, and a nanoflake architecture that all ensure fast lithium diffusion kinetics (∼2.0 × 10-8 cm2 s-1) through its nanosheet. Such unique features enable outstanding electrochemical performance (∼200 mA h g-1 at 5C for 1000 cycles, 1C = 372 mA g-1) as a fast-charging anode for lithium-ion batteries. This finding paves the way to make high energy-density fast-charging batteries that could boost electromobility.

Abstract
Lithium ion batteries have been a central part of consumer electronics for decades. More recently, they have also become critical components in the quickly arising technological fields of electric mobility and intermittent renewable energy storage. However, many fundamental principles and mechanisms are not yet understood to a sufficient extent to fully realize the potential of the incorporated materials. The vast majority of concurrent lithium ion batteries make use of graphite anodes. Their working principle is based on intercalation, the embedding and ordering of (lithium-) ions in two-dimensional spaces between the graphene sheets. This important process, it yields the upper bound to a battery's charging speed and plays a decisive role in its longevity, is characterized by multiple phase transitions, ordered and disordered domains, as well as nonequilibrium phenomena, and therefore quite complex. In this work, we provide a simulation framework for the purpose of better understanding lithium-intercalated graphite and its behavior during use in a battery. To address large system sizes and long time scales required to investigate said effects, we identify the highly efficient, but semiempirical density functional tight binding (DFTB) as a suitable approach and combine particle swarm optimization (PSO) with the machine learning (ML) procedure Gaussian process regression (GPR) as implemented in the recently developed GPrep package for DFTB repulsion fitting to obtain the necessary parameters. Using the resulting parametrization, we are able to reproduce experimental reference structures at a level of accuracy which is in no way inferior to much more costly ab initio methods. We finally present structural properties and diffusion barriers for some exemplary system states.

Abstract
Lithium ion cells that can be quickly charged are of critical importance for the continued and accelerated penetration of electric vehicles (EV) into the consumer market. Considering this, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has set a cell recharge time goal of 10–15 min. The following study provides an investigation into the effect of cell design, specifically negative to positive matching ratio (1.2:1 vs. 1.7:1) on fast charging performance. By using specific charging procedures based on negative electrode performance, as opposed to the industrial standard constant current constant voltage procedures, we show that the cells with a higher N:P ratio can be charged to ~16% higher capacity in the ten-minute time frame. Cells with a higher N:P ratio also show similar cycle life performance to those with a conventional N:P ratio, despite the fact that these cells experience a much higher irreversible capacity loss, leading to a lower reversible specific capacity.

Abstract
Utilizing the latest SCAN-rVV10 density functional, we thoroughly assess the electrochemical properties of 35 Mo-based ordered double transition metal MXenes, including clean Mo2MC2 (M = Sc, Ti, V, Zr, Nb, Hf, Ta) and surface functionalized structures Mo2MC2T2 (T = H, O, F and OH), for the potential use as anode materials in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). The first principles molecular dynamics simulations in combination with the calculations of the site adsorption preferences for Li atoms on all investigated MXenes reveal that both Li-saturated adsorption structures and theoretical capacities of Mo-based MXenes are fundamentally influenced by the surface terminations. We find that the adsorption of Li atoms on either -OH or -F functionalized MXenes is chemically unstable. In particular, the F-groups prefer to form a separate fluoride layer with Li atoms, detaching from the Mo2MC2 substrates. The Li atoms could form a stable single adsorption layer on the -H, -O and intrinsic MXenes surface, exhibiting theoretical capacities in the range from 121 mA h g-1 to 195 mA h g-1. Besides -F and -OH terminations, the remaining Mo-based MXenes also possess superior flat open circuit voltage (OCV) profiles with the most reversible storage capacity below 1.0 V during the charging/discharging cycles. We further predict the low barrier heights of Li-ion diffusion, at a range of 0.03-0.06 eV for most Mo-based MXenes except -O and -H terminations, exceeding that of graphene or Ti3C2. Furthermore, combining the Vineyard transition state theory (TST) with the phonon spectra obtained from density functional perturbation theory (DFPT), the mean planar diffusion coefficient is calculated to be 2 × 10-8 m2 s-1 at 300 K for intrinsic Mo2MC2 monolayers. Although the overall specific capacity is fundamentally restricted with the relatively heavy molecular mass of MXenes, we conclude that Mo-based structures, especially the intrinsic Mo2MC2 (M = Sc, Ti, V) monolayers, might be promising anode materials from the aspect of fast charging/discharging application for LIBs.

Abstract
Heating battery at low temperatures is fundamental to avoiding the range anxiety and the time-consuming charging associated with electric vehicles (EVs). One method for achieving fast and uniform battery heating is to polarize the cell under pulse currents. However, the on-board implementation of this method leads to an increase in the cost and size. Therefore, in this study, an adapted EV circuitry compatible with the existing one and an optimized operating condition are proposed to enable rapid battery heating. With this circuit, electricity transfer between the cells can be realized through a motor, leading to remarkably higher battery currents than those of the conventional circuit. The increase in the maximum heating currents (from 1.41C to 4C) resulted in a battery temperature rise of 8.6°C/min at low temperatures. This heating method exhibits low cost, high efficiency, and negligible effects on battery degradation, practical and promising on battery heating of EVs. Rapid temperature rise, high efficiency, and low cost for battery heating are obtained The batteries are divided into two modules and connected to the inverter individually The electricity transferred between battery modules is motivated by a static motor The pulse currents for battery heating are improved significantly at any frequency

Abstract
Rechargeability and operational safety of commercial lithium (Li)-ion batteries demand further improvement. Plating of metallic Li on graphite anodes is a critical reason for Li-ion battery capacity decay and short circuit. It is generally believed that Li plating is caused by the slow kinetics of graphite intercalation, but in this paper, we demonstrate that thermodynamics also serves a crucial role. We show that a nonuniform temperature distribution within the battery can make local plating of Li above 0 V vs. Li0/Li+ (room temperature) thermodynamically favorable. This phenomenon is caused by temperature-dependent shifts of the equilibrium potential of Li0/Li+ Supported by simulation results, we confirm the likelihood of this failure mechanism during commercial Li-ion battery operation, including both slow and fast charging conditions. This work furthers the understanding of nonuniform Li plating and will inspire future studies to prolong the cycling lifetime of Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Numerous reports have elucidated the advantages of SiOx-based anodes including their large capacities and superior cycling stabilities. However, these electrodes have not been optimized for use in electric vehicles (EVs), which demand even better performance stability at fast charging rates and high temperatures. Herein, we fabricated a novel solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) using nanodiamondseeds. The grown SEI comprised an assembly of pillars, with a height and diameter of approximately 600 and 250 nm, respectively. As a result, the Li||Ti-SiOx@C cell with a nanodiamond-containing electrolyte achieved a high capacity retention of 76.4% over 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1 and 50 °C, whereas the cell with no nanodiamond seeds showed a severe decay in the capacity and retained only 61.5% of its initial capacity. Furthermore, the NCM811||Ti-SiOx@C full cell constructed with the pillar-type SEI also showed a high capacity retention of 61.8% at 5 C (1 C = 200 mAh g-1) and 50 °C after 500 cycles, which was a significant improvement from the value (33.3%) demonstrated by its counterpart comprising the conventional SEI. The results obtained herein will enable the development of high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The rational design and exploration of safe, robust, and inexpensive energy storage systems with high flexibility are greatly desired for integrated wearable electronic devices. Herein, a flexible all-solid-state battery possessing competitive electrochemical performance and mechanical stability has been realized by easy manufacture processes using carbon nanotube enhanced phosphate electrodes of LiTi2(PO4)3 and Li3V2(PO4)3 and a highly conductive solid polymer electrolyte made of polyphosphazene/PVDF-HFP/LiBOB [PVDF-HFP, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)]. The components were chosen based on their low toxicity, systematic manufacturability, and (electro-)chemical matching in order to ensure ambient atmosphere battery assembly and to reach high flexibility, good safety, effective interfacial contacts, and high chemical and mechanical stability for the battery while in operation. The high energy density of the electrodes was enabled by a novel design of the self-standing anode and cathode in a way that a large amount of active particles are embedded in the carbon nanotube (CNT) bunches and on the surface of CNT fabric, without binder additive, additional carbon, or a large metallic current collector. The electrodes showed outstanding performance individually in half-cells with liquid and polymer electrolyte, respectively. The prepared flexible all-solid-state battery exhibited good rate capability, and more than half of its theoretical capacity can be delivered even at 1C at 30 °C. Moreover, the capacity retentions are higher than 75% after 200 cycles at different current rates, and the battery showed smaller capacity fading after cycling at 50 °C. Furthermore, the promising practical possibilities of the battery concept and fabrication method were demonstrated by a prototype laminated flexible cell.

Abstract
This work shows conclusively that lamellar surface patterns can be obtained with diverse ceramic compositions during electrospinning. The lamellar structure formation is governed by the creation of an outer shell during the thermal treatment of initially uniform cylindrical fibers, consisting of polymer and pre-ceramic compounds. By changing the polymer to pre-ceramic ratio in the electrospinning solution, we demonstrate for the first time a facile way to control the obtained surface structure and the orientation of the lamellas. Furthermore, the lamellar morphology was illustrated in seven different compositions. This report provides a new pathway to obtain unique surface patterns in metal-oxide nanofibers and demonstrates their utilization in different applications. Specifically, we demonstrate the prospect of utilizing Ni-Al-O fibers with lamellar structures as alternative Li-ion battery anodes. In addition, we show the potential of Fe-Al-O fibers as an effective catalyst material.

Abstract
Existing lithium-ion battery technology is struggling to meet our increasing requirements for high energy density, long lifetime, and low-cost energy storage. Here, a hybrid electrode design is developed by a straightforward reengineering of commercial electrode materials, which has revolutionized the "rocking chair" mechanism by unlocking the role of anions in the electrolyte. Our proof-of-concept hybrid LiFePO4 (LFP)/graphite electrode works with a staged deintercalation/intercalation mechanism of Li+ cations and PF6 - anions in a broadened voltage range, which was thoroughly studied by ex situ X-ray diffraction, ex situ Raman spectroscopy, and operando neutron powder diffraction. Introducing graphite into the hybrid electrode accelerates its conductivity, facilitating the rapid extraction/insertion of Li+ from/into the LFP phase in 2.5 to 4.0 V. This charge/discharge process, in turn, triggers the in situ formation of the cathode/electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer, reinforcing the structural integrity of the whole electrode at high voltage. Consequently, this hybrid LFP/graphite-20% electrode displays a high capacity and long-term cycling stability over 3,500 cycles at 10 C, superior to LFP and graphite cathodes. Importantly, the broadened voltage range and high capacity of the hybrid electrode enhance its energy density, which is leveraged further in a full-cell configuration.
