Almost 50 years after astronauts last walked on the lunar surface during the Apollo program, NASA is now launching the Artemis program which will lead humanity forward to the Moon and prepare us for the next giant leap: the exploration of Mars. Future missions target the development of an Artemis Base Camp to support longer expeditions on the surface of the Moon. (1) In particular, resistant lunar terrain vehicles, lunar foundation habitation modules, (2) power generation facilities, (3) and energy storage systems are currently being investigated. In order to considerably reduce the astronauts’ dependence on terrestrial supplies, their manufacturing from raw and in situ resource utilization (ISRU) materials available at the lunar/martian surface will be indispensable. (4,5) Any material derived from ISRU will result in mass that does not have to be brought from Earth, so that the need to launch cost-prohibitive quantities of materials on multiple flights is reduced, which would also ultimately make it possible to extend mission length. The flexibility of additive manufacturing technologies, also known as 3D printing, combined with the employment of ISRU materials as material feedstock for the printer is expected to significantly assist astronauts in their missions and future habitats. (6−9) Harvesting solar power using locally leveraged in situ resources available on the Moon has already been considered in the past. (10,11) Fabrication of solar photovoltaic cells is theoretically possible, as over 90% of solar cell materials are extractable from the Moon: Si, Fe, TiO2, Ca, and Al. (10,11) According to Ellery et al., (11) the manufacture of such devices from extraterrestrial sources is nonetheless expected to be extremely challenging, with expected efficiencies in the ∼5–10% range. More recently, McMillon-Brown et al. (3) studied the manufacturing of perovskite solar cells in space and concluded that additive manufacturing combined with in-space recycling and ISRU appears as a plausible option to build initial power generation facilities on the lunar surface. To complement the intermittent energy harvesting from the sun, the manufacturing of energy storage devices from ISRU materials appears as the most sustainable option (Figure 1).

Just as the International Space Station’s primary power system currently relies on Li-ion batteries, rechargeable batteries are also installed in exploration robots, life support systems, and portable communication devices. However, manufacturing Li-ion batteries from ISRU materials to support future long-term missions on the Moon and Mars is not a viable option since Li has been reported to be scarcely available on the Moon (17−19) (only 10 ppm from samples collected during the Apollo missions) and on Mars (20,21) (calculated concentration between 1.8 and 3 ppm in bulk silicate Mars (BSM)) (Table 1). Therefore, Na-ion technology appears to be more suitable than the Li-ion technology based on the greater abundance of Na. As shown in Table 1, while Na concentrations remain relatively low in all lunar materials, with reported values ranging from 2000 to 3000 ppm, they cover a substantial range up to 5000 ppm in residual melt rocks or mare basalts containing albite plagioclase feldspar (NaAlSi3O8). (17,22) On Mars, the Na concentration is about 5770 ppm (0.53–0.59 wt% Na2O) in the BSM, (20,21) while it is about 23 600 ppm (2.36 wt%) in the terrestrial continental crust, serving here as reference.

Rocks located in the lunar Maria region, explored during the Apollo mission, consist mainly of pyroxene ([Ca,Fe,Mg]SiO3), plagioclase (CaAl2Si2O8), olivine ([Mg,Fe]2SiO4), iron oxide, titanium oxides, ilmenite (FeTiO3), and spinel ([Fe,Mg,Ti,Cr]Al2O4). Rocks of the lunar highland region, where the Artemis mission will take place, consist of anorthite-rich plagioclase (CaAl2Si2O8), orthopyroxene ([Mg,Fe]SiO3), and olivine ([Mg,Fe]2SiO4). (23) Earth’s continental crust composition is included here as reference.
Alternatives to Li-ion and Na-ion batteries exist, and the abundance of their components may create unique opportunities for ISRU-derived materials. Other alkali (K) and alkaline earth (Mg, Ca) metals possess many desirable traits for a negative electrode, such as high electrical conductivity and low reduction potential. The latter is important because, along with cell voltage and charge storage capability, it determines the energy density from the battery. While the alkali metals exhibit larger radii and gain in mass over Li, their abundance make them good candidates. (27) The alkaline earth metals that take on two electrons are more suitable negative electrode elements, as they are capable of holding twice the charge per atom compared to alkali metals, which raises their specific capacity higher than those of Li, Na, and K. (28) As displayed in Figure 2a, Mg presents a theoretical volumetric capacity of 3833 mAh·cm–3, and Ca of 2073 mAh·cm–3, compared to K with 610 mAh·cm–3, Li with 2061 mAh·cm–3, and Na with 1130 mAh·cm–3. For comparison, Al is also shown, as it is considered a promising negative electrode material, with 8046 mAh·cm–3 of theoretical volumetric capacity. Although not for energy storage applications, 3D printing in space of recycled Al via selective laser sintering or electron beam freeform fabrication has been proposed, (29) thus showing the feasibility of the concept. Figure 2b illustrates graphically the amount of lunar or martian feedstock required to generate 1 Ah worth of electrode material for the aforementioned negative electrodes. It can be appreciated that the scarcity of Li and K is reflected in the high amount of lunar or martian feedstock that is required to produce 1 Ah. Mg appears as the best candidate electrode material based on its availability on Mars, whereas Al, Ca, and Mg are the best options on the Moon. Despite being promising options, Al, Ca, and Mg battery chemistries still lack some fundamental investigation on Earth prior to their implementation in long-duration missions. In Mg-based batteries, for instance, the sluggish kinetics of Mg2+ insertion/extraction and the electrodes–electrolyte incompatibilities still need to be investigated. (30) Regarding Al-based batteries, volume expansion, passivation, and self-corrosion issues must be solved. (31) Note that while the graph displayed in Figure 2b does not represent the amount of energy required for the mining and purification of these elements, it represents the relation between abundance and attainable energy. Moreover, it constitutes a meaningful starting point for the choice of an adequate battery technology. While a variety of chemistries may be derived through ISRU, each mission demands a certain performance level where it would be beneficial to match current state-of-the-art Li-ion cell performances (∼200 Wh/kg) for devices such as rovers (100 W required by the NASA’s Opportunity rover to drive (32)) and drones (∼350 W required by NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter for a 90-second flight (33)). Longer duration stationary missions, which are less confined by mass, will be more receptive to lower energy chemistries, provided they are easily sourced and could be produced in sufficient quantities, while low-power chemistries may be suitable for lunar night applications (14-day discharge, ∼C/300). As for the near future manufacturing needs, Na-ion batteries appear as the middle-ground choice, considering the relative abundance of their elemental components or precursors, their technology readiness level, and the overall fundamental understanding of the mechanisms involved (solid electrolyte interphase formation, electrode materials’ electrochemical reactions, and electrode–electrolyte interactions). (34−36) For this reason, the following discussion is focused on the preparation of Na-ion components from lunar and martian ISRU.
Figure 2

Various combinations of positive electrode, negative electrode, and electrolyte materials could be potentially applicable in a Na-ion battery. Toward efficient selection of the materials, specific screening criteria must be considered, such as (i) the lunar and martian availability of the battery materials and their precursors; (ii) extraction/synthesis/processing of the battery materials and their precursors; (iii) safety; and (iv) cost. Popular Na3V2(PO4)2F3, (37−39) Na3V2(PO4)3, (40,41) and Na2V2O5 (42,43) can be certainly used as positive electrodes but should be avoided given the low abundance of fluorine and vanadium elements on lunar (18,19) (around 70 ppm of F; 130 ppm of V) and martian regolith (21) (30 ppm of F; 130 ppm of V) (Table 1). Alternatives containing more abundant elements include NaFePO4, (44−46) NaFe(SO4)2, (47) NaMnO2, (48) NaFeO2, (49−51) and Na0.44MnO2. (52,53) While these materials impart less synthesis complexity, expanding the processing to multiple transition metals may enable optimization of battery performance. Examples include Prussian blue Na2MnFe(CN)6, (54) layered Na0.67Fe0.5Mn0.5O2, (55) and tunnel-type Na0.61[Mn0.27Fe0.34Ti0.39]O2. (56) For these materials, reducing the fraction of lower abundance elements such as Mn in favor of prevalent elements such as Fe, Ti, and Al will improve production efficiency. Further, elements with greater abundance can be incorporated as dopants that improve performance; for example, Al3+ and Ti4+ doping has been shown to improve stability, rate capability, and cycling performance in Na0.67Fe0.5Mn0.5O2. (55,57)
Regarding the negative electrode, hard carbon could be obtained by recycling waste packaging polymers transported from Earth, (58−60) as carbon is poorly present on both lunar and martian surfaces. Other candidates that are particularly promising due to their abundance are titanate materials such as TiO2, (61) FeTiO3, (62,63) or also Na2Ti3O7. (64,65) It is worth noting that the use of ilmenite FeTiO3, a mineral directly available from lunar ISRU, is affected by the formation of irreversible phases during Na storage. (66) A crucial consideration for negative electrodes is their mean potential, since this value conditions the working voltage and the deliverable energy from the battery. Ilmenite and TiO2, for instance, are limited by their relatively high mean potential of ∼1.0 V vs Na/Na+. In contrast, hard carbon and Na2Ti3O7 possess desirable mean potentials of ∼0.2 and ∼0.3 V vs Na/Na+, respectively.
Crucial components of batteries, thermoplastic polyolefin separators could be prepared on the Moon/Mars by recycling waste packaging materials, as it has been demonstrated in numerous works before. (67) As for the liquid electrolyte, NaPF6 salt appears as the most promising option for lunar battery manufacturing due to the greater availability of its component materials, particularly on the Maria region of the Moon. Nonetheless, NaPF6 could only be obtained through a complex multi-step synthesis, while scarcer NaClO4 could be obtained through a simple synthesis involving recycling. For martian battery manufacturing, NaClO4 undoubtedly appears as the best option due to its immediate availability on the surface. (68,69) While flammable organic solvents raise safety concerns on Earth due to the associated combustion threat, risks are limited in lunar and martian atmospheres due to the absence of oxygen. Additional concerns such as volatility and low abundance from ISRU materials can be tackled by replacing the electrolyte–separator couple by a solid electrolyte or an ionic-liquid-based electrolyte. Ceramic solid electrolytes such as rhombohedral β″-Al2O3 phase appear as interesting options, given the relative abundance of alumina on lunar and martian surfaces. β″-Al2O3 has been investigated due to its promising high ionic conductivity as single-crystal (1 S·cm–1 at 300 °C) and polycrystalline phases (0.22–0.35 S·cm–1 at 300 °C and 2.0 mS·cm–1 at RT). (70) Pure β″-Al2O3 polycrystals are still challenging to achieve, as the material is often mixed with the poorly ionically conductive hexagonal β-Al2O3 phase. Na3Zr2Si2PO12 (NASICON) could be another ceramic electrolyte option, with a promising conductivity of 0.67 mS·cm–1 at 25 °C and 5 mS·cm–1 at 80 °C. (71) However, the abundance of Zr on the lunar (between 100 and 400 ppm) (17) and martian (7.5 ppm) (20) surfaces is low. Na-based sulfide electrolytes such as thio-phosphates are another alternative, owing to their synthesis temperatures being much lower than those of comparable oxide electrolytes, (72) their high ionic conductivity (10–4–10–2 S·cm–1 at RT), comparable to those of liquid electrolytes, (73) and their high lunar abundance. Ionic liquids represent another promising electrolyte option, as they can also be used to extract water, oxygen, and metals from asteroids and planetary regolith, (74) even if they have to be brought from Earth. Ionic liquids have been reported to act as excellent solvents to dissolve primary regolith materials at T < 300 °C and to recover metals such as Ni and Fe from meteorites. (75) Ionic liquids are currently being investigated to extract Na from silicate minerals known to be present on the lunar and martian surfaces. (76,77) Other research groups have prepared a 3D printing feedstock by processing Na-bearing ionic liquids through electrolytic hydrolysis to produce NaOH while also regenerating the ionic liquid for later use. The NaOH is then mixed with SiO2 to form a sodium silicate solution and mixed with simulant regolith to be used as a construction material feedstock to 3D print infrastructures. (6) Obtained through recycling, Na+-enriched ionic liquid could be employed as a Na-ion battery electrolyte, as already demonstrated in the literature. (78)
Aluminum can be used as the current collector for both electrodes since, unlike Li, Na does not alloy with Al at a low voltage potential. (79) Regarding abundance, there is 13 wt% Al on the lunar highland region and 5 wt% on the Maria region, whereas there is only 1.6 wt% on the martian regolith. Its most abundant form is anorthite CaAl2Si2O8, an ore mineral from which it may be economically feasible to extract Al using a lime-soda sinter process that yields Al2O3 first. (80) More recently, Ellery et al. proposed the utilization of the FFC Cambridge Process, an electrolytic technique that can extract nearly pure metals from their oxide and silicate forms, in conjunction with selective laser sintering or electron beam freeform fabrication for the production of pure Al, Si, Fe, and Ti. (29) Al could also be obtained by recycling existing pieces and even space debris, as it is present in lightweight structural materials used for satellites and antennas, in conducting wiring, in solar sail coatings, in thermally conductive straps, in platforms and support trusses, and even in hard magnets. (81−83)
Regarding the battery manufacturing process itself (Figure 3), traditional slurry casting could be employed on the Moon and Mars in the long term. Nonetheless, early missions would rather employ versatile and modular additive manufacturing technologies to print batteries on-demand, in small quantities, and with digital design freedom. 3D printing also enables co-designed shape-conformable batteries to better fill unique volumes, save dead space, and maximize the energy storage for applications like small spacecraft, portable power devices, robots (rovers, drones), and large-scale power systems for lunar/martian habitats. Furthermore, unprecedented intricate three-dimensional battery negative/positive electrode architectures are now possible thanks to 3D printing. (84) Evolving from conventional planar 2D (e.g., cylindrical, prismatic, and coin cell) to complex 3D battery architectures can increase the electrochemical active surface area and ion diffusion pathways, leading to improved areal energy density and power performance. (84,85)
Figure 3

Figure 3. Classical battery and 3D-printed battery manufacturing steps. (*After one-shot multi-material 3D printing of the all-solid-state battery with a ceramic electrolyte, an additional thermal post-processing step may be added to improve the electrochemical performance through polymer matrix removal. This additional step must be avoided if a solid polymer electrolyte is employed.)
Motivated by these conclusions, 3D printing of batteries (mostly Li-ion chemistry) has witnessed a growing interest in recent years. (86−88) Early studies on the topic have been focused specifically on material extrusion, due to the low price, high versatility, and ability to enable multi-material printing, essential to print all battery components. (86) Material extrusion is divided into two main offshoots: Direct Ink Writing (DIW) and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). In the case of DIW, an ink is deposited by applying a pneumatic or mechanically controlled pressure. Studied since 2013, DIW printing of electrode materials such as LiFePO4, (89−92) Li4Ti5O12, (89−91) LiMn2O4, (93,94) or electrolytes (91,95−97) has been demonstrated. A compromise in the amounts of solvent, binder, active materials, and additives such as viscosifier or surfactant is required to ensure adequate rheological properties that enable high-quality prints. A FDM printer is fed with a thermoplastic filament that is extruded by heating it above its melting temperature. Composite filaments loaded with battery active materials have been prepared and printed as battery components (electrodes, (84,98−102) electrolyte, (103−105) separator, (99,102) and current collectors (106)). The addition of an adequate plasticizer into the filament is critical to allow the introduction of a high loading of active material and conductive additives. (98) Other additive manufacturing technologies, namely vat photopolymerization (VPP) (88,107−110) and powder bed fusion (PBF), (84,111) have been recently employed to print battery components. A VPP printer is fed with a liquid photocurable resin, employed as material feedstock, and selectively exposed to a UV light to build 3D structures. The viscosity of the resin and battery material sedimentation, as well as light scattering, must be thoroughly investigated to ensure good printability. PBF involves the spreading of a thin and homogeneous powder over the build platform while a laser selectively sinters or completely melts the powder according to a pre-designed pattern. Laser exposure time is a critical parameter that must be optimized to obtain mechanically robust and porous electrodes. Our preliminary investigations indicate that the development and optimization of high-resolution multi-material printers, (112−117) enabling the printability of composite battery components, is critical to allow complete 3D batteries manufacturing from ISRU materials on the lunar and martian surfaces in the future.

(Elsevier Ltd.)A review. In situ resource utilization (ISRU) refers to the in situ generation of consumables for autonomous or human activities from raw materials found on the Moon or other planetary bodies. The use of ISRU on the Moon may provide a means of reducing the cost and risk of human exploration of the Moon and beyond, and an impetus for com. contributions to lunar exploration. Potential products include O2 and H2O for life support, H2 and O2 for fuel and propellant, and other elements and compds. for metallurgic and chem. prodn. processes. If ISRU is to be applied successfully on the Moon, it is important that landing site selection, surface operations and suitable ISRU technologies are identified using knowledge of the availability and distribution of lunar resources and detailed understanding of the workings of the various processes available. Here, we review current knowledge of chem. and mineralogical resources on the Moon which can be used in the development of ISRU as a realistic component of future lunar exploration.

(Sage Publications Ltd.)The Moon Village and similar concepts are strongly reliant on in situ resource utilization (ISRU). There is great interest in harvesting solar power using locally leveraged in situ resources as an essential facet of in situ infrastructure. Traditionally, silicon-based photovoltaic cells have been assumed, preferably manufd. in situ using a 3D printing rover, but there are major difficulties with such scenarios. Solar cells require pre-processing of regolith and solar cell manuf. We present an alternative lunar resource leveraged-solar power prodn. system on the Moon which can yield high conversion efficiencies - solar Fresnel lens-thermionic conversion. The thermionic vacuum tube is constructed from lunar-derived materials and NiFe asteroidal ores on the Moon. Given that the majority of energy required for ISRU is thermal, thermionic conversion exploits this energy source directly. Silicates such as anorthite can be treated with acid to yield alumina and silicic acid in soln. from which pure silica can be pptd. Pure silica when heated to high temp. yields fused silica glass which is transparent - fused silica glass may be employed to manuf. Fresnel lenses and/or mirrors. Both silica and alumina may be input to the Metalysis Fray Farthing Chen Cambridge electrolytic process to yield near pure Si and near pure Al, resp.

With the exception of the anorthosites, the F content of the lunar samples is in the same range as for C1 chondrites. Contrary to F, the other halogen concns. show large variations. The lowest concns. are found in the mare basalts of Apollo 15 and 17, the highest in some highland breccias. Li correlates well with some of the incompatible elements in both mare basalts and KREEP contg. highland soils and breccias. From the obsd. ratios, it is evident that in the bulk compn. of the moon, Li is neither enriched nor depleted; it belongs to the group of nonrefractory elements. From the correlation of Li with some refractory elements (Be, La, etc.) a value of 50:50 for the refractory to nonrefractory portion of the moon is inferred without any further assumption, thus confirming previous ests. of Wanke et al. (1974a, 1975).

(Elsevier Ltd.)Comparing compositional models of the terrestrial planets provides insights into physicochem. processes that produced planet-scale similarities and differences. The widely accepted compositional model for Mars assumes Mn and more refractory elements are in CI chondrite proportions in the planet, including Fe, Mg, and Si, which along with O make up >90% of the mass of Mars. However, recent improvements in our understandings on the compn. of the solar photosphere and meteorites challenge the use of CI chondrite as an analog of Mars. Here we present an alternative model compn. for Mars that avoids such an assumption and is based on data from Martian meteorites and spacecraft observations. Our modeling method was previously applied to predict the Earth's compn. The model establishes the abs. abundances of refractory lithophile elements in the bulk silicate Mars (BSM) at 2.26 times higher than that in CI carbonaceous chondrites. Relative to this chondritic compn., Mars has a systematic depletion in moderately volatile lithophile elements as a function of their condensation temps. Given this finding, we constrain the abundances of siderophile and chalcophile elements in the bulk Mars and its core. The Martian volatility trend is consistent with ≤7 wt% S in its core, which is significantly lower than that assumed in most core models (i.e., >10 wt% S). Furthermore, the occurrence of ringwoodite at the Martian core-mantle boundary might have contributed to the partitioning of O and H into the Martian core.

(Academic)The authors derive the bulk chem. compn., phys. properties, and trace element abundances of Mars from two assumptions: (1) Mars is the parent body for the Shergottite-Nakhlite-Chassignite (SNC) meteorites, and (2) the oxygen isotopic compn. of Mars was detd. by the oxygen isotopic compns. of the different types of nebular material that accreted to form Mars. They use oxygen isotopes to constrain planetary bulk compns. because oxygen is generally the most abundant element in rock, and is either the first or second (after iron) most abundant element in any terrestrial planet, the Moon, other rocky satellites, and the asteroids. The oxygen isotopic compn. of Mars, calcd. from oxygen isotopic analyses of the SNC meteorites, corresponds to the accretion of about 85% H-, 11% CV-, and 4% CI-chondritic material. The bulk compn. of Mars follows from mass balance calcns. using mean compns. for these chondrite groups. It is predicted that silicates (mantle + crust) comprise about 80% of Mars. The compn. of the silicate fraction represents the compn. of the primordial martian mantle prior to crustal formation. The FeO content of the mantle is 17.2%. A metal-sulfide core, contg. about 10.6% S, makes up the remaining 20% of the planet. Our bulk compn. is similar to those from other models. The abundances of siderophile ("metal-loving") and chalcophile ("sulfide-loving") elements in the martian mantle were calcd. from the bulk compn. using (metal-sulfide)/silicate partition coeffs. These results generally agree with predictions of the SNC meteorite model of Wanke and Dreibus for the compn. of Mars. However, we predict higher abundances for the alkalies and halogens than those derived from SNC meteorite models for Mars. The apparent discrepancy indicates that the alkalies and halogens were lost from the martian mantle by hydrothermal leaching and/or vaporization during accretion. Geochem. arguments suggest that vaporization was only a minor loss process for these elements. On the other hand, aq. transport of the alkalis and halogens to the surface is supported by the terrestrial geochem. of these elements and the high K, Rb, Cl, and Br abundances found by the Viking XRF and Phobos gamma ray expts. on the surface of Mars.

(Wiley-Blackwell)A review. Benefiting from higher volumetric capacity, environmental friendliness and metallic dendrite-free magnesium (Mg) anodes, rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are of great importance to the development of energy storage technol. beyond lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their practical applications are still limited by the absence of suitable electrode materials, the sluggish kinetics of Mg2+ insertion/extn. and incompatibilities between electrodes and electrolytes. Herein, a systematic and insightful review of recent advances in RMBs, including intercalation-based cathode materials and conversion reaction-based compds. is presented. The relationship between microstructures with their electrochem. performances is comprehensively elucidated. In particular, anode materials are discussed beyond metallic Mg for RMBs. Furthermore, other Mg-based battery systems are also summarized, including Mg-air batteries, Mg-sulfur batteries, and Mg-iodine batteries. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of Mg-based energy storage technol. and could offer new strategies for designing high-performance rechargeable magnesium batteries.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. The ever-growing market of elec. vehicles and the upcoming grid-scale storage systems have stimulated the fast growth of renewable energy storage technologies. Aluminum-based batteries are considered one of the most promising alternatives to complement or possibly replace the current lithium-ion batteries owing to their high specific capacity, good safety, low cost, light wt., and abundant reserves of Al. However, the anode problems in primary and secondary Al batteries, such as, self-corrosion, passive film, and vol. expansion, severely limit the batteries' practical performance, thus hindering their commercialization. Herein, an overview of the currently emerged Al-based batteries is provided, that primarily focus on the recent research progress for Al anodes in both primary and rechargeable systems. The anode reaction mechanisms and problems in various Al-based batteries are discussed, and various strategies to overcome the challenges of Al anodes, including surface oxidn., self-corrosion, vol. expansion, and dendrite growth, are systematically summarized. Finally, future research perspectives toward advanced Al batteries with higher performance and better safety are presented.

(American Chemical Society)Electrolytes as an important part of sodium-ion batteries have a pivotal role for capacity, rate, and durability of electrode materials. On account of the high redn. activity of sodium metal with org. solvents, it is very important to optimize the electrolyte component to realize high stability on Na metal and hard carbon anodes. Herein, chem. and electrochem. stability of propylene carbonate (PC)-based electrolytes on sodium metal and hard carbon anodes is investigated systematically. The results demonstrate that whether using NaClO4 or NaPF6, the PC-based electrolytes are not stable on Na metal, but adding of FEC can immensely enhance the stability of the electrolyte because of the compact solid electrolyte interphase film formed. The electrolytes contg. FEC also exhibit high electrochem. compatibility on hard carbon anodes, showing high reversible capacity and excellent cycling performance. A reaction mechanism based on the Na+ induction effect is proposed by spectrum and electrochem. measurements. This study can provide a new insight to optimize and develop stable PC-based electrolytes and be helpful for understanding the other electrolyte systems. - 35Jin, Y.; Xu, Y.; Le, P. M. L.; Vo, T.

(American Chemical Society)The sodium ion battery (NIB) is a promising alternative technol. for energy storage systems because of the abundance and low cost of sodium in the Earth's crust. However, the limited cycle life and safety concerns of NIBs hinder their large-scale applications. Here, we report a nonflammable localized high concn. electrolyte (sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide-triethyl phosphate/1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (1:1.5:2 in molar ratio)) for highly reversible NIBs. By using a cryo-transmission electron microscope, it was found that an ultrathin (3 nm) and robust interphase layer formed on the cathode surface can block transition metal dissolns. and minimize surface reconstructions of the cathode. The inorg.-rich solid electrolyte interphase formed on the hard carbon (HC) surface minimized undesirable reactions between HC and the electrolyte. These stable interphases enabled high Coulombic efficiency and long-term stable cycling of the HC anode and the NaCu1/9Ni2/9Fe1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode. The insights obtained in this work can be used to further improve the cycling stability and safety of rechargeable batteries. - 36Wang, E.; Niu, Y.; Yin, Y.-X.; Guo, Y.-G.

(American Chemical Society)A review. After the past decade's rapid development, the com. demands for sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have been put on the schedule for large-scale energy storage. Even though the electrode-electrolyte interphases play a very important role in detg. the overall battery performance in terms of high energy d. and long-cycling stability, studies regarding their fundamental understanding and regulation strategies are still in their infancy. Herein, we comprehensively review the current research status and the challenging issues of the as-generated SIB interphases from three main aspects. Firstly, a fundamental understanding of the main body interphase layers is introduced through the development of their formation mechanism, their compn./structure, and the dynamic evolution process involved, all of which are highly responsible for the Na+ ion transport behavior to det. the final kinetic diffusion. Then, interphase manipulation via the parental electrolyte is summarized in terms of electrolyte engineering strategies, such as the solvent/salt selection, the concn. effect, and the functional additive screening to build a more stable interphase layer for desirable electrochem. reversibility. Finally, potential effects from the chosen electrodes are discussed to provide necessary assocns. with the interphase formation and evolution. Crit. challenges for building stable Na-based interphase are identified, and in particular, new ways of thinking about the interphase chem. and the electrolyte chem. based on SIBs, are strongly appealing. We believe that this work is likely to attract attention to the rational design of Na-based interphase layers towards high-energy and long-life-span batteries. - 37Yan, G.; Mariyappan, S.; Rousse, G.; Jacquet, Q.; Deschamps, M.; David, R.; Mirvaux, B.; Freeland, J.

(Nature Research)The growing need to store an increasing amt. of renewable energy in a sustainable way has rekindled interest for sodium-ion battery technol., owing to the natural abundance of sodium. Presently, sodium-ion batteries based on Na3V2(PO4)2F3/C are the subject of intense research focused on improving the energy d. by harnessing the third sodium, which has so far been reported to be electrochem. inaccessible. Here, we are able to trigger the activity of the third sodium electrochem. via the formation of a disordered NaxV2(PO4)2F3 phase of tetragonal symmetry (I4/mmm space group). This phase can reversibly uptake 3 sodium ions per formula unit over the 1 to 4.8 V voltage range, with the last one being re-inserted at 1.6 V vs Na+/Na0. We track the sodium-driven structural/charge compensation mechanism assocd. to the new phase and find that it remains disordered on cycling while its av. vanadium oxidn. state varies from 3 to 4.5. Full sodium-ion cells based on this phase as pos. electrode and carbon as neg. electrode show a 10-20% increase in the overall energy d.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF) with NASCION (Na superionic conductor) is recognized as a potential cathode material owing to its high theor. capacity. However, the electronic cond. of NVPF is much lower than its ionic cond., which seriously affects the properties of this material. The carbon layer can be used as the conductive medium to enhance the cond. of NVPF. In this study, we propose a single-step solid-state reaction method based on mech. activation with pitch as the carbon source to synthesize NVPF/C composites. The crystallog. structure and morphol. of all as-prepd. samples were investigated by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, BET measurement, thermal anal., SEM and TEM. Furthermore, the electrochem. performance and kinetic properties were analyzed by CV, galvanostatic charge-discharge and EIS tests. These tests outcomes demonstrated that the NVPF/C-2 composite with a carbon content of 12.14 wt% showed an excellent rate performance and cycle stability. It presented reversible capacities of 103 and 95 mA h g-1 at 0.2 and 10C, resp., and an outstanding retention of 91.9% after 500 cycles at 5C.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Na-ion batteries (SIBs) have garnered tremendous interest due to their unique advantages of high safety, abundant Na resources, and low cost. Great research efforts of SIBs have been devoted to the exploitation and in-depth mechanism investigation of high-performance electrode materials. Among the various cathodes, Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF), a representative member of Na superionic conductor (NASICON) structured compds., has been considered to be a promising candidate because of its superior structural stability, fast ion transport, high operating potential and so on. However, its electrochem. performance and future large-scale applications have been hindered by the relatively low electronic cond. and high cost of NVPF. This review emphasizes the crystal structure and Na storage mechanisms together with synthetic methods of NVPF, and then summarizes various proposed strategies including carbon coating, element doping, size and morphol. design, etc. to meliorate the electrochem. performance of NVPF. Addnl., the applications of the NVPF cathode in other battery systems are included. Finally, our perspectives on the subsequent research and optimization of NVPF are also shared. This review not only is a comprehensive summary of NVPF for the first time but also provides a good ref. for the rational design of high-performance NVPF in the future.

(Frontiers Media S.A.)A review. Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are one of the most potential alternative rechargeable batteries because of their low cost, high energy d., high thermal stability, and good structure stability. The cathode materials play a crucial role in the cycling life and safety of SIBs. Among reported cathode candidates, Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP), a representative electrode material for sodium super ion conductor, has good application prospects due to its good structural stability, high ion cond. and high platform voltage (~ 3.4 V). However, its practical applications are still restricted by comparatively low electronic cond. In this review, recent progresses of Na3V2(PO4)3 are well summarized and discussed, including prepn. and modification methods, electrochem. properties. Meanwhile, the future research and further development of Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode are also discussed.

(American Chemical Society)The Na superionic conductor (NASICON) Na3V2(PO4)3 is an important pos. electrode material for Na-ion batteries. Here, we investigate the mechanisms of phase transition in NaxV2(PO4)3 (1 ≤ x ≤ 4) upon nonequil. battery cycling. Unlike the widely believed two-phase reaction in a Na3V2(PO4)3-Na1V2(PO4)3 system, we det., for the first time, the structure of a recently reported intermediate Na2V2(PO4)3 phase using operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction. D. functional theory calcns. further support the existence of the Na2V2(PO4)3 phase. We propose two possible crystal structures of Na2V2(PO4)3 analyzed by Rietveld refinement. The two structure models with the space groups P21/c or P2/c for the new intermediate Na2V2(PO4)3 phase show similar unit cell parameters but different at. arrangements, including vanadium charge ordering. As the appearance of the intermediate Na2V2(PO4)3 phase is accompanied by symmetry redn., Na(1) and Na(2) sites split into several positions in Na2V2(PO4)3, in which one of the splitting Na(2) position is found to be a vacancy, whereas the Na(1) positions are almost fully filled. The intermediate Na2V2(PO4)3 phase reduces the lattice mismatch between Na3V2(PO4)3 and Na1V2(PO4)3 phases, facilitating a fast phase transition. This work paves the way for a better understanding of great rate capabilities of Na3V2(PO4)3. - 42Liu, S.; Tong, Z.; Zhao, J.; Liu, X.; Wang, J.; Ma, X.; Chi, C.; Yang, Y.; Liu, X.; Li, Y.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Vanadium oxide (V2O5), as a potential pos. electrode for sodium ion batteries (SIBs), has attracted considerable attention from researchers. Herein, amorphous and cryst. V2O5 cathodes on a graphite paper without a binder and conductive additives were synthesized via facile anodic electrochem. deposition following different heat treatments. Both the amorphous V2O5 (a-V2O5) cathode and cryst. V2O5 (c-V2O5) cathode show good rate cycling performance and long cycling life. After five rate cycles, the reversible capacities of both the cathodes were almost unchanged at different current densities from 40 to 5120 mA g-1. Long cycling tests with 10 000 cycles were carried out and the two cathodes exhibit excellent cycling stability. The c-V2O5 cathode retains a high specific capacity of 54 mA h g-1 after 10 000 cycles at 2560 mA g-1 and can be charged within 80 s. Interestingly, the a-V2O5 cathode possesses higher reversible capacities than the c-V2O5 cathode at low current densities, whereas it is inversed at high current densities. The c-V2O5 cathode shows faster capacity recovery from 5120 to 40 mA g-1 than the a-V2O5 cathode. When discharged at 80 mA g-1 (long discharge time of 140 min) and charged at 640 mA g-1 (short charge time of 17 min), the a-V2O5 cathode shows a higher discharge capacity than its c-V2O5 counterpart. The different electrochem. performance of a-V2O5 and c-V2O5 cathodes during various electrochem. processes can provide a rational selection of amorphous or cryst. V2O5 cathode materials for SIBs in their practical applications to meet the variable requirements.

Li-ion batteries. Triphylite-NaFePO4 is synthesized from triphylite-LiFePO4 by a low-cost, eco-friendly method, enabling the recovery and subsequent reuse of Li. NaFePO4 was evaluated as a cathode material in half-cells, exhibiting an initial discharge capacity of 132 mAh/g and good capacity retention (115 mAh/g and ∼100% of Coulombic efficiency after 50 cycles; 101 mAh/g and ∼100% of Coulombic efficiency after 200 cycles). This research confirms that the triphylite-NaFePO4 cathode material is an attractive candidate for Na-ion batteries, with potential for future commercialization.

(American Chemical Society)There is much interest in Na-ion batteries for grid storage because of the lower projected cost compared with Li-ion. Identifying Earth-abundant, low-cost, and safe materials that can function as intercalation cathodes in Na-ion batteries is an important challenge facing the field. Here such a material, β-NaMnO2, is investigated with a different structure from that of NaMnO2 polymorphs and other compds. studied extensively in the past. It exhibits a high capacity (of ca. 190 mA h g-1 at a rate of C/20), along with a good rate capability (142 mA h g-1 at a rate of 2C) and a good capacity retention (100 mA h g-1after 100 Na extn./insertion cycles at a rate of 2C). Powder XRD, HRTEM, and 23Na NMR studies revealed that this compd. exhibits a complex structure consisting of intergrown regions of α-NaMnO2 and β-NaMnO2 domains. The collapse of the long-range structure at low Na content is expected to compromise the reversibility of the Na extn. and insertion processes occurring upon charge and discharge of the cathode material, resp. Yet stable, reproducible, and reversible Na intercalation is obsd. - 49Lee, E.; Brown, D. E.; Alp, E. E.; Ren, Y.; Lu, J.; Woo, J.-J.; Johnson, C. S.

(American Chemical Society)The emergence of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) employing cathodes based on earth abundant sodium and iron is expected to be ideal for large-scale elec. energy storage systems, for which the cost factor is of primary importance. However, these iron-based layered oxides still show unsatisfactory cycle performance, and the redox of the fleeting Fe3+/Fe4+ couple needs to be better understood. In this study, we examine the quasi-reversibility of the layered α-NaFeO2 cathode in sodium-ion cells. A NaFeO2 powder sample that has the O3-type layered structure was synthesized via a solid-state synthesis method. The changes in Fe oxidn. states and crystallog. structures were examd. during the electrochem. sodium cycling of the NaFeO2 electrodes. Ex situ Mossbauer spectroscopy anal. revealed the chem. instability of Fe4+ in a battery cell environment: more than 20% of Fe4+ species that was generated in the desodiated Na1-xFeO2 electrode was spontaneously reduced back to Fe3+ states during open circuit storage of the charged cell. The in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction further revealed the nonequil. phase transition behavior of the NaFeO2 cathode. A new layered phase (denoted as O''3) was obsd. in the course of sodium deintercalation, and an asym. structural behavior during cycling was identified. These findings explain the quasi-reversibility of α-NaFeO2 in the sodium cell and provide guidance for the future development of iron-based cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. - 50Zhuang, Y.; Zhao, J.; Zhao, Y.; Zhu, X.; Xia, H.

(Elsevier B.V.)Layered O3-NaFeO2 with abundant raw material resources is a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries. However, the synthesis of O3-NaFeO2 without using Na2O2 as sodium source is greatly difficult with formation of the electrochem. inactive β-NaFeO2. In the present work, the single crystal O3-NaFeO2 nanoflakes have been synthesized via a facile solvothermal route without using Na2O2 as sodium source. Through the solvothermal treatment, the inactive α-Fe2O3 can be converted into active γ-Fe2O3 first and subsequently into the single crystal NaFeO2 nanoflakes via Na+/Fe3+ topochem. ion exchange reaction. A thin layer of carbon is further coated on NaFeO2 nanoflakes to enhance its electrode kinetics and structural stability. The carbon coated NaFeO2 cathode delivers a high reversible specific capacity of 89.6 mAh g-1 at 0.1C and exhibits 87.3% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 0.1C, maintaining the layered O3-structure. By using hard carbon as anode, a carbon coated NaFeO2//hard carbon full cell is successfully constructed, exhibiting good cyclability with 81.9% capacity retention after 100 cycles. The present work provides a novel synthesis strategy for developing O3-NaFeO2-based cathode for sustainable sodium-ion batteries.

These results were reinforced with ex-situ near-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy, which suggests that oxygen redox activity is responsible for charge compensation.

The differences in the evaluated rate capability are mainly attributed to nearly two to three orders of magnitude difference in the apparent diffusion coeff. along with the charge transfer resistance and the resistance from the formed SEI layer.

It exhibits high crystallinity, pure phase and homogeneous size distribution. During the synthesis, acidic and reductive conditions are applied to limit the prodn. of unfavorable Birnessite phase in the precursor, and colloidal polystyrene is included to avoid morphol. collapse during the gel formation and particle elongation in one direction. The decompns. of polystyrene and citric acid during high temp. firing offer a reductive carbothermal condition which can suppress the formation of unidimensional particles, and limit particle growth along the [001] direction. As a consequence, the material delivers 96 mAh g-1 discharge capacity at 10 C (86% of 0.1 C capacity) and maintains 97.8% capacity after 100 cycles at 0.5 C. Such superior rate capability and cycling stability of this material are among the best to date, suggesting its great interest in practical applications.

The compds. present a high reversible capacity, good rate performance, and superior cycling stability. Combined fully exptl. anal. and first-principles calcn., the interfacial synergistic effect between 3DNC and NaK-MnHCF on the sodium storage capacity is revealed, contributing to the extra capacity and elec. cond. Furthermore, considerable content of capacitive-controlled sodium storage of NaK-MnHCF@3DNC conduces to the rate performance. These results reveal an efficient route for the fabrication of other cathode materials for sodium ion batteries as high-performance energy storage devices.

(American Chemical Society)P2-type layered oxides based on the elements Fe and Mn have attracted great interest as sodium ion battery (SIB) cathode materials owing to their inexpensive metal constituents and high specific capacity. However, they suffer from rapid capacity fading and complicated phase transformations. Here, we modulate the crystal structure and optimize the electrochem. performances of Na0.67Mn0.5Fe0.5O2 by Al doping for Mn or Fe, resp., and the roles of Al in the enhancement of the rate capability and cycling performance are unraveled. The substitution of Al for Mn or Fe decreases the lattice parameters a and c but enlarges d spacing and lengthens Na-O bonds, which enhances Na+ diffusion and rate capability esp. for Na0.67Mn0.5Fe0.47Al0.03O2. Al doping reduces the thickness of TMO2 and strengthens TM-O/O-O bonding. This enhances the layered structure stability and the capacity retention. Al doping mitigates Mn3+ and Jahn-Teller distortion, mitigating the irreversible phase transition. Al doping also alleviates the lattice vol. variation and the structure strain. This further improves the stability of the layered structure and the cycling performances particularly in the case of Al doping for Fe. The in-depth insights into the roles of Al substitution might be also useful for designing high-performance cathode materials for SIBs through appropriate lattice doping. - 56Xu, S.; Wang, Y.; Ben, L.; Lyu, Y.; Song, N.; Yang, Z.; Li, Y.; Mu, L.; Yang, H.-T.; Gu, L.; Hu, Y.-S.; Li, H.; Cheng, Z.-H.; Chen, L.; Huang, X.

The Ti-substituted Na0.67Fe0.5Mn0.5O2 shows superior electrochem. properties compared to the pristine sample. We investigated the changes in the crystal structure, surface chem., and particle morphol. caused by Ti doping and correlated these changes to the improved performance. The enhanced rate capability and cycling stability were attributed to the enlargement of the NaO2 slab in the crystal structure because of Ti doping. This promoted Na-ion diffusion and prevented the phase transition from the P2 to the OP4/''Z'' structure. - 58Olazabal, I.; Goujon, N.; Mantione, D.; Alvarez-Tirado, M.; Jehanno, C.; Mecerreyes, D.; Sardon, H.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. The use of plastic waste to develop high added value materials, also known as upcycling, is a useful strategy towards the development of more sustainable materials. More specifically, the use of plastic waste as a feedstock for synthesizing new materials for energy storage devices not only provides a route to upgrading plastic waste but also can help in the search for sustainable materials. This perspective describes recent strategies for the use of plastic waste as a sustainable, cheap and abundant feedstock in the prodn. of new materials for electrochem. energy storage devices such as lithium batteries, sodium batteries and supercapacitors. Two main strategies are described, the development of conducting carbons by combustion of plastic waste and the depolymn. of plastics into new chems. and materials. In both cases, catalysis has been key to ensuring high efficiency and performance. Future opportunities and challenges are highlighted and hypotheses are made on how the use of plastic waste could enhance the circularity of current energy storage devices.

(American Chemical Society)There is a pressing need for the introduction of highly efficient and cost-effective energy storage systems to meet worldwide burgeoning energy demand. Key to these systems is the development of sustainable, higher capacity, electrode materials. Carbonaceous materials have demonstrated the most success as neg. electrode materials for alkali-ion batteries, and the development of novel methods to produce these materials more sustainably will enable the prodn. of next-generation alkali-ion batteries with reduced environmental impact. This study demonstrates that activated carbon derived from end-of-life printer plastics can act as high capacity anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. These carbons exhibited superior rate capability and delivered capacities as high as 190 mAh/g at 3 mA/g after 25 cycles. They were able to retain up to 100% of their second discharge capacity after 100 cycles at 20 mA/g. In-depth ex situ anal. of the electrodes, using a combination of techniques such as solid state NMR and X-ray diffraction is also presented to shed light on the sodium storage mechanism, a topic still being vigorously investigated in the scientific community. This work provides an excellent example of repurposing waste for sustainable energy storage applications. - 60Fonseca, W. S.; Meng, X.; Deng, D.

(American Chemical Society)Modern society generates a huge amt. of plastic wastes that are posing potential disasters to our environment and society. For example, waste polystyrene (PS), such as used PS cups and packing materials, is mainly disposed into landfills. It is very challenging to recycle PS economically. PS cannot be carbonized under conventional conditions, because PS is completely decompd. into toxic gases at moderate temp. instead of carbonization. Here, we demonstrated a facile procedure to transform waste PS cups collected from a local coffee shop into disordered carbon in a sealed reactor at moderate temp. but under high pressure. The as-obtained disordered carbon demonstrated interesting electrochem. characteristics for reversible storage of sodium ions. A highly reversible capacity of 116 mAh g-1 could be achieved for at least 80 cycles. Our preliminary results demonstrated that the trash of waste PS cups could be facilely transformed into treasure of promising neg. electrode materials for sodium ion batteries, offering an alternative and sustainable approach to manage the waste PS issue. - 61He, H.; Gan, Q.; Wang, H.; Xu, G.-L.; Zhang, X.; Huang, D.; Fu, F.; Tang, Y.; Amine, K.; Shao, M.

(Elsevier Ltd.)The performance of energy storage materials is highly dependent on their nanostructures. Herein, hierarchical rod-in-tube TiO2 with a uniform carbon coating is synthesized as the anode material for sodium-ion batteries by a facile solvothermal method. This unique structure consists of a tunable nanorod core, interstitial hollow spaces, and a functional nanotube shell assembled from two-dimensional nanosheets. By adjusting the types of solvents used and reaction time, the morphologies of TiO2/C composites can be tuned to nanoparticles, microrods, rod-in-tube structures, or microtubes. Among these materials, rod-in-tube TiO2 with a uniform carbon coating shows the highest electronic cond., sp. surface area (336.4 m2 g-1), and porosity, and these factors lead to the best sodium storage capability. Benefiting from the unique structural features and improved electronic/ionic cond., the as-obtained rod-in-tube TiO2/C in coin cell tests exhibits a high discharge capacity of 277.5 and 153.9 mAh g-1 at 50 and 5000 mA g-1, resp., and almost 100% capacity retention over 14,000 cycles at 5000 mA g-1. In operando high-energy X-ray diffraction further confirms the stable crystal structure of the rod-in-tube TiO2/C during Na+ insertion/extn. This work highlights that nanostructure design is an effective strategy to achieve advanced energy storage materials.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Ilmenite, general formula FeTiO3, has been proposed as possible conversion anode material for lithium- and sodium-ion batteries, with theor. capacity of 530 mAhg-1. Exptl., the obsd. specific capacity for pristine ilmenite is far away from the theor. value; for this reason, the control of morphol. via alk. hydrothermal treatment has been proposed as possible strategy to improve the electrochem. performance. At the same time FeTiO3 is prone to react with sodium and potassium hydroxide, as already demonstrated by studies on the degrdn. of ilmenite for the extn. of TiO2. In this paper we demonstrate that the alk. treatment does not induce a morphol. modification of the FeTiO3 powders but involved the degrdn. of the precursor material with the formation of different phases. A complete physicochem. and electrochem. characterization is performed with the aim of correlating structural and functional properties of the obtained products.

Process-induced degrdn. during recycling as well as degrdn. brought on by thermomech. operations (e.g. extrusion, injection molding, etc.) or other processes typically leads to irreversible changes in the physicochem. properties and structure of the material.

This has prompted speculation of what their influence would be on habitability. We show that when irradiated with a simulated Martian UV flux, perchlorates become bacteriocidal. At concentrations associated with Martian surface regolith, vegetative cells of Bacillus subtilis in Martian analogue environments lost viability within minutes. Two other components of the Martian surface, iron oxides and hydrogen peroxide, act in synergy with irradiated perchlorates to cause a 10.8-fold increase in cell death when compared to cells exposed to UV radiation after 60 seconds of exposure. These data show that the combined effects of at least three components of the Martian surface, activated by surface photochemistry, render the present-day surface more uninhabitable than previously thought, and demonstrate the low probability of survival of biological contaminants released from robotic and human exploration missions.

(Nature Publishing Group)Detg. whether liq. water exists on the Martian surface is central to understanding the hydrol. cycle and potential for extant life on Mars. Recurring slope lineae, narrow streaks of low reflectance compared to the surrounding terrain, appear and grow incrementally in the downslope direction during warm seasons when temps. reach about 250-300 K, a pattern consistent with the transient flow of a volatile species. Brine flows (or seeps) have been proposed to explain the formation of recurring slope lineae, yet no direct evidence for either liq. water or hydrated salts has been found. Here we analyze spectral data from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars instrument onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter from four different locations where recurring slope lineae are present. We find evidence for hydrated salts at all four locations in the seasons when recurring slope lineae are most extensive, which suggests that the source of hydration is recurring slope lineae activity. The hydrated salts most consistent with the spectral absorption features we detect are magnesium perchlorate, magnesium chlorate and sodium perchlorate. Our findings strongly support the hypothesis that recurring slope lineae form as a result of contemporary water activity on Mars.

(American Chemical Society)Solid electrolytes (SEs) offer great potential as the basis for safer rechargeable batteries with high energy d. Aside from excellent ion cond., the stability of SEs against the highly reactive metal anode is also a prerequisite to achieve good performance in solid-state batteries (SSBs). Yet, most SEs are found to have limited thermodn. stability and are unstable against Li/Na metal. With the combination of AC impedance spectroscopy, first-principles calcns., and in situ XPS, we unequivocally reveal that a NaSICON-structured Na3Zr2Si2PO12 electrolyte forms a kinetically stable interface against sodium metal. Prolonged galvanostatic cycling of sym. Na|Na3Zr2Si2PO12|Na cells shows stable plating/stripping behavior of sodium metal at a c.d. of 0.1 mA cm-2 and an areal capacity of 0.5 mA h cm-2 at room temp. Evaluation of Na3Zr2Si2PO12 as an electrolyte in SSBs further demonstrates its good cycling stability for over 120 cycles with very limited capacity degrdn. This work provides strong evidence that Na3Zr2Si2PO12 is one of the few electrolytes that simultaneously achieve superionic cond. and excellent chem./electrochem. stability, making it a very promising alternative to liq. electrolytes. Our findings open up a fertile avenue of exploration for SSBs based on Na3Zr2Si2PO12 and related SEs. - 72Hayashi, A.; Noi, K.; Sakuda, A.; Tatsumisago, M.

All-solid-state batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes and electrodes are promising power sources for a wide range of applications because of their safety, long-cycle lives and versatile geometries. Rechargeable sodium batteries are more suitable than lithium-ion batteries, because they use abundant and ubiquitous sodium sources. Solid electrolytes are critical for realizing all-solid-state sodium batteries. Here we show that stabilization of a high-temperature phase by crystallization from the glassy state dramatically enhances the Na(+) ion conductivity. An ambient temperature conductivity of over 10(-4) S cm(-1) was obtained in a glass-ceramic electrolyte, in which a cubic Na(3)PS(4) crystal with superionic conductivity was first realized. All-solid-state sodium batteries, with a powder-compressed Na(3)PS(4) electrolyte, functioned as a rechargeable battery at room temperature.

(Elsevier Ltd.)The enormous demands on available global lithium resources have raised concerns about the sustainability of the supply of lithium. Sodium secondary batteries have emerged as promising alternatives to lithium batteries. We describe here sodium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amide (NaNTf2) electrolyte systems based on 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amide (C4mpyrNTf2) ionic liqs. The electrochem. stability of the system was examd.; a pair of facile cathodic and anodic processes around 0 V vs. Na/Na+ were obsd. in cyclic voltammetry measurements and interpreted as deposition and dissoln. of sodium metal. D., viscosity and cond. of the electrolytes were studied. The ionic cond. of electrolytes reached as high as 8 mS/cm, decreasing slowly as the salt content increased due to increasing of viscosity and d. of the electrolyte. Therefore, sodium electrolytes based on C4mpyrNTf2 appear to be promising for secondary sodium battery applications.

(MDPI AG)This work provides an overview of the aluminum (Al) recycling process, from the scrap upgrading to the melting process. Innovations and new trends regarding the Al recycling technologies are highlighted. Aluminum recycling offers advantages in terms of environmental and economic benefits. The presence of deleterious impurities in recycled Al alloys is increasing and this is the main drawback if compared to primary alloys. The continuous growth of undesired elements can be mitigated by different technologies, preliminary operations and treatments, and by the optimization of the melting process. Downgrading and diln. are possible solns. to reduce the rate of impurities, but they are not sustainable if the final use of Al alloy continuously increases. The main objectives in the development of the Al recycling are shown and discussed. In particular, the evolution of preliminary treatments of the scrap, as sorting, comminution and de-coating, is reported and a review of the melting technologies is also presented. However, the choice of performing preliminary operations to the melting stage, thus improving the operating conditions during the furnace running, is a trade-off between costs and process efficiency.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Consumer electronics is a vibrant, worldwide market force, leading to ever-increasing demands for portable power. As the dimensions of devices continue to shrink, the question arises as to how power sources of comparable scale will be fabricated. The 2-D configurations of traditional batteries may not be effective, despite their high energy d. Energy conversion and harvesting may be more suitable for powering microdevices, simply because of the ability to provide on-board power. Three-dimensional batteries offer a different approach and 3-D designs that emphasize power sources with small areal footprints, without compromising power and energy d., are presented. While this approach may not help solve the power needs for cell phones and laptop computers, it will have a significant impact on current and future generations of microdevices. In particular, distributed sensor networks and wireless communication systems are representative areas where 3-D batteries would be welcomed enthusiastically because the power supplies currently in use are many times the size of the device. Some of the design rules for 3-D batteries are proposed with the necessary materials and fabrication strategies. Hierarchical designs based on nanostructured materials, including the deliberate management of void space, have been organized into larger macroscopic structures and the first results are impressive. Most of the necessary components for 3-D batteries are already available and the demonstration of the first operational 3-D batteries is imminent. - 86Maurel, A.; Grugeon, S.; Armand, M.; Fleutot, B.; Courty, M.; Prashantha, K.; Davoisne, C.; Tortajada, H.; Panier, S.; Dupont, L.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)In this communication, we developed GO-based electrode composite inks and solid-state electrolyte inks to achieve all component 3D-printed lithium-ion batteries. The 3D-printed lithium-ion batteries were successfully created using aq. GO-based inks consisting of highly concd. graphene oxide sheets as well as cathode and anode active materials. Note that using water as a green solvent makes this aq. ink system feasible for processing, drying safety, and low cost. Highly concd. graphene oxide sheets provide the prerequisite viscosity to bind the electrode materials together and enable 3D printing. Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP) and lithium titanium oxide (Li4Ti5O12, LTO) were selected as the cathode and anode materials, resp., for the demonstration purpose. It is anticipated that this process can also be extended to other active materials. To create high mass loading per unit area electrodes in an interdigitated battery configuration,fine filaments were extruded directly from a nozzle and then deposited layer-by-layer using a preprogrammed printing routine. Due to the shear stress induced by the nozzle, the GO flakes are aligned along the extruding direction, which enhances the electrode's elec. cond. In addn., the GO flake's intrinsically porous structure offers a large amt. of surface area to load the LFP or LTO nanoparticles as well as house the electrolyte. Our demonstration of 3D-printed lithium-ion batteries featured graphene oxide as a promising printable material in 3D printing manufg. and printable energy storage applications.

(Elsevier Ltd.)Electrodes for lithium-ion batteries can be fabricated in many ways including conventional roller coating and 3D printing. Roller coating is a standardized process in current lithium-ion battery industry, while 3D printing has been used to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) unconventional electrodes with tailored geometries. Our previous study proposed a low temp. 3D printing process to fabricate highly-porous LiFePO4 (LFP) electrodes. However, there still lack a study on the comparison of electrochem. performance of LFP electrodes fabricated via the three different fabrication processes including low temp. direct writing-based 3D printing (LTDW), room temp. direct ink writing (DIW) and roller coating process. In this study, we fabricated LFP cathodes using these three fabrication processes from LFP inks with different solid contents. By varying the solid content, LFP electrodes with different geometries (including width and thickness), morphologies and porous microstructures were obtained via LTDW and DIW. Mercury porosimetry was performed to examine the differences of the three types of LFP electrodes in porous microstructures. Electrochem. performance including charge/discharge, rate performance, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochem. impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of the three types of electrodes were measured and compared. Results showed that electrode fabrication processes have important effects on the electrochem. performance of LFP electrodes depending on the ink solid content. LTDW-fabricated electrodes had the best performance at high solid content (≥0.467 g/mL) and conventional roller coated electrodes performed better at low solid content (≤0.356 g/mL). Relationships between ink solid content, fabrication process, resulting porous microstructures and electrochem. performance were discussed. Finally, an optimal specific capacity of ∼82 mAh.g-1 @ 10C was achieved at a solid content of 0.467 g/mL by LTDW process.

Modern batteries are fabricated in the form of laminated structures that are composed of randomly mixed constituent materials. This randomness in conventional methods can provide a possibility of developing new breakthrough processing techniques to build well-organized structures that can improve battery performance. In the proposed processing, an electric field (EF) controls the microstructures of manganese-based electrodes, while additive manufacturing controls macro-3D structures and the integration of both scales. The synergistic control of micro-/macro-structures is a novel concept in energy material processing that has considerable potential for providing unprecedented control of electrode structures, thereby enhancing performance. Electrochemical tests have shown that these new electrodes exhibit superior performance in their specific capacity, areal capacity, and life cycle.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Enhancing electrode areal capacity of lithium-ion batteries will result in cost saving and better electrochem. performances. Additive manufg. (AM) is a very promising soln., which enables to build structurally complex electrodes with well-controlled geometry, shape and thickness. Here we report on 3D-printed cathodes based on LiMn2O4 (LMO) as the active material, which are fabricated by robocasting AM via aq. processing. Such a technol. is: (i) environmentally friendly, since it works well with water and green binders; (ii) fast, due to very short deposition times and rapid drying process because of low amt. of solvent in the printable pastes; (iii) easily scalable. The cathodes are produced by extruding pastes with higher solid loadings (>70 vol%) than those typically reported in literature. The printing efficiency is strongly affected by both the binder and the carbonaceous additive. The best cathode is composed by LMO, Pluronic as the binder, and a mixt. of graphite/carbon black as the electronic conductor, which is crit. for achieving optimal electrochem. performance. The cathode with thickness of 200μm and mass loading of 13 mg cm-2 exhibits good electrochem. areal capacity (2.3 mAh cm-2) and energy d. (>32 J cm-2). Our results may boost the development of greener, lower cost and more efficient new generation of LIBs for applications as household energy storage or even micro-battery technol.

(American Chemical Society)Actual parallel-plate architecture of lithium-ion batteries consists of lithium-ion diffusion in one dimension between the electrodes. To achieve higher performances in terms of specific capacity and power, configurations enabling lithium-ion diffusion in two or three dimensions is considered. With a view to build these complex three-dimensional (3D) battery architectures avoiding the electrodes interpenetration issues, this work is focused on fused deposition modeling (FDM). In this study, the formulation and characterization of a 3D-printable graphite/polylactic acid (PLA) filament, specially designed to be used as neg. electrode in a lithium-ion battery and to feed a conventional com. available FDM 3D printer, is reported. The graphite active material loading in the produced filament is increased as high as possible to enhance the electrochem. performance, while the addn. of various amts. of plasticizers such as propylene carbonate, poly(ethylene glycol) di-Me ether av. Mn ∼ 2000, poly(ethylene glycol) di-Me ether av. Mn ∼ 500, and acetyl tri-Bu citrate is investigated to provide the necessary flexibility to the filament to be printed.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Continuous novelty as the basis for creative advance in rapidly developing different form-factor microelectronic devices requires seamless integrability of batteries. Thus, in the past decade, along with developments in battery materials, the focus has been shifting more and more towards innovative fabrication processes, unconventional configurations, and designs with multi-functional components. We present here, for the first time, a novel concept and feasibility study of a 3D-microbattery printed by fused-filament fabrication (FFF). The reversible electrochem. cycling of 3D printed lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium titanate (LTO) composite polymer electrodes vs. the lithium metal anode has been demonstrated in cells contg. conventional non-aq. and ionic-liq. electrolytes. We believe that by using comprehensively structured interlaced electrode networks it would be possible not only to fabricate free form-factor batteries but also to alleviate the continuous vol. changes occurring during charge and discharge.

(American Chemical Society)The ability to 3D print lithium ion batteries (LIBs) in an arbitrary geometry would not only allow the battery form factor to be customized to fit a given product design but also facilitate the use of the battery as a structural component. A major hurdle to achieving this goal is the low ionic cond. of the polymers used for 3D printing. This article reports the development of anode, cathode, and separator materials that enable 3D printing of complete lithium ion batteries with low cost and widely available fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was infused with a mixt. of Et Me carbonate, propylene carbonate, and LiClO4 to obtain an ionic cond. of 0.085 mS cm-1, a value comparable to that of polymer and hybrid electrolytes. Different elec. conductive (Super P, graphene, multiwall carbon nanotubes) and active (lithium titanate, lithium manganese oxide) materials were blended into PLA to det. the relationships among filler loading, cond., charge storage capacity, and printability. Up to 30 vol % of solids could be mixed into PLA without degrading its printability, and an 80:20 ratio of conductive to active material maximized the charge storage capacity. The highest capacity was obtained with lithium titanate and graphene nanoplatelets in the anode, and lithium manganese oxide and multiwall carbon nanotubes in the cathode. We demonstrate the use of these novel materials in a fully 3D printed coin cell, as well as 3D printed wearable electronic devices with integrated batteries. - 103Maurel, A.; Armand, M.; Grugeon, S.; Fleutot, B.; Davoisne, C.; Tortajada, H.; Courty, M.; Panier, S.; Dupont, L.

(Electrochemical Society)The high areal-energy and power requirements of advanced microelectronic devices favor the choice of a lithium-ion system, since it provides the highest energy d. of available battery technologies suitable for a variety of applications. Several attempts have been made to produce primary and secondary thin-film batteries utilizing printing techniques. These technologies are still at an early stage, and most currently-printed batteries exploit printed electrodes sandwiching self-standing com. polymer membranes, produced by conventional extrusion or papermaking techniques, followed by soaking in non-aq. liq. electrolytes. In this work, a novel flexible-battery design is suggested and the initial results are reported of development and characterization of novel 3D printed all-solid-state electrolytes prepd. by fused-filament fabrication (FFF). The electrolytes are composed of LiTFSI, polyethylene oxide (PEO), which is a known lithium-ion conductor, and polylactic acid (PLA) for enhanced mech. properties and high-temp. durability. The 3D printed electrolytes were characterized by means of ESEM imaging, mass spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and electrochem. impedance spectroscopy (EIS). TOFSIMS anal. reveals formation of lithium complexes with both polymers. The flexible all-solid LiTFSI-based electrolyte exhibited bulk ionic cond. of 3 × 10-5 S/cm at 90° and 156 Ω x cm2 resistance of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). It is believed that the coordination mechanism of the lithium cation by the oxygen of the PLA chain is similar to that of PEO and local relaxation motions of PLA chain segments could promote Li-ion hopping between oxygens of adjacent CH-O groups. What is meant by this is that PLA not only improves the mech. properties of PEO, but also serves as a Li-ion-conducting medium. These results pave the way for a fully printed solid battery, which enables free-form-factor flexible geometries.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)3D multicomponent metal oxides with complex architectures can enable previously impossible energy storage devices, particularly lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrodes with fully controllable form factors. Existing additive manufg. approaches for fabricating 3D multicomponent metal oxides rely on particle-based or org.-inorg. binders, which are limited in their resoln. and chem. compn., resp. In this work, aq. metal salt solns. are used as metal precursors to circumvent these limitations, and provide a platform for 3D printing multicomponent metal oxides. As a proof-of-concept, architected lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) structures are fabricated by first synthesizing a homogenous lithium and cobalt nitrate aq. photoresin, and then using it with digital light processing printing to obtain lithium and cobalt ion contg. hydrogels. The 3D hydrogels are calcined to obtain micro-porous self-similar LCO architectures with a resoln. of ≈100μm. These free-standing, binder- and conductive additive-free LCO structures are integrated as cathodes into LIBs, and exhibit electrochem. capacity retention of 76% over 100 cycles at C/10. This facile approach to fabricating 3D LCO structures can be extended to other materials by tailoring the identity and stoichiometry of the metal salt solns. used, providing a versatile method for the fabrication of multicomponent metal oxides with complex 3D architectures.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Hybrid solid electrolytes, composed of 3D ordered bicontinuous conducting ceramic and insulating polymer microchannels are reported. The ceramic channels provide continuous, uninterrupted pathways, maintaining high ionic cond. between the electrodes, while the polymer channels permit improvement of the mech. properties from that of the ceramic alone, in particular mitigation of the ceramic brittleness. The cond. of a ceramic electrolyte is usually limited by resistance at the grain boundaries, necessitating dense ceramics. The cond. of the 3D ordered hybrid is reduced by only the vol. fraction occupied by the ceramic, demonstrating that the ceramic channels can be sintered to high d. similar to a dense ceramic disk. The hybrid electrolytes are demonstrated using the ceramic lithium ion conductor Li1.4Al0.4Ge1.6(PO4)3 (LAGP). Structured LAGP 3D scaffolds with empty channels were prepd. by neg. replication of a 3D printed polymer template. Filling the empty channels with non-conducting polypropylene (PP) or epoxy polymer (epoxy) creates the structured hybrid electrolytes with 3D bicontinuous ceramic and polymer microchannels. Printed templating permits precise control of the ceramic to polymer ratio and the microarchitecture; as demonstrated by the formation of cubic, gyroidal, diamond and spinodal (bijel) structures. The elec. and mech. properties depend on the microarchitecture, the gyroid filled with epoxy giving the best combination of cond. and mech. properties. An ionic cond. of 1.6 × 10-4 S cm-1 at room temp. was obtained, reduced from the cond. of a sintered LAGP pellet only by the vol. fraction occupied by the ceramic. The mech. properties of the gyroid LAGP-epoxy electrolyte demonstrate up to 28% higher compressive failure strain and up to five times the flexural failure strain of a LAGP pellet before rupture. Notably, this demonstrates that ordered ceramic and polymer hybrid electrolytes can have superior mech. properties without significantly compromising ionic cond., which addresses one of the key challenges for all-solid-state batteries.

(VPP) process combined with an innovative precursor approach. This innovative approach involves the solubilization of metal precursor salts into a UV-photopolymerizable resin, so that detrimental light scattering and increased viscosity are minimized, followed by the in-situ synthesis of NMC 111 during thermal post-processing of the printed item. The absence of solid particles within the initial resin allows the prodn. of smaller printed features that are crucial for 3D battery design. The formulation of the UV-photopolymerizable composite resin and 3D printing of complex structures, followed by an optimization of the thermal post-processing yielding NMC 111 is thoroughly described in this study. Based on these results, this work addresses one of the key aspects for 3D printed batteries via a precursor approach: the need for a compromise between electrochem. and mech. performance in order to obtain fully functional 3D printed electrodes. In addn., it discusses the gaps that limit the multi-material 3D printing of batteries via the VPP process.

(American Chemical Society)Selective laser sintering (SLS) 3-dimensional printing was used to fabricate highly porous carbonous electrodes. The electrodes were prepd. by using a mixt. of fine graphite powder and either polyamide-12, polystyrene, or polyurethane polymer powder as SLS printing material. During the printing process the graphite powder was dispersed uniformly on the supporting polymer matrix. Graphite's concn. in the mixt. was varied between 5 and 40% to find the correlation between the C content and cond. The graphite concn., polymer matrix, and printing conditions all had an impact on the final cond. Due to the SLS printing technique, all the 3-dimensional printed electrodes were highly porous. By using polyurethane as the supporting matrix it was possible to produce flexible electrodes in which the cond. is sensitive to pressure and mech. stress. Phys. properties such as graphite distribution, attachment, and the overall porosity of the printed electrodes were studied using SEM, He ion microscopy (HIM), and x-ray tomog. The combination of chem. design of the printing material and the use of SLS 3-dimensional printing enables fabrication of highly customizable electrodes with desired chem., phys., mech., and flow-through properties. - 112Inamdar, A.; Magana, M.; Medina, F.; Grajeda, Y.; Wicker, R.

(Elsevier B.V.)A multi-material stereolithog. (MMSL) machine was developed by retrofitting components from a com. 3-dimensional Systems 250/50 stereolithog. (SL) machine on a sep. stand-alone system and adapting the components to function with addnl. components required for MMSL operation. The MMSL machine required construction of a new frame and the development of a new rotating vat carousel system, platform assembly, and automatic leveling system. The overall operation of the MMSL system was managed using a custom LabVIEW program, which included controlling a new vat leveling system and new linear and rotational stages, while the com. SL control software (3-dimensional Systems Buildstation 4.0) was retained for controlling the laser scanning process. During MMSL construction, the sweeping process can be inhibited by previously cured layers, and thus, a deep-dip coating process without sweeping was used with low viscosity resins. Low viscosity resins were created by dilg. com. resins, including DSM Somos WaterShed 11120, ProtoTherm 12120, and 14120 White, with propoxylated (2) neopentyl glycol diacrylate (PNGD). Several multi-material complex parts were produced providing compelling evidence that MMSL can produce unique parts that are functional, visually illustrative, and constructed with multi-materials.

(Elsevier Ltd.)A review. In situ resource utilization (ISRU) refers to the in situ generation of consumables for autonomous or human activities from raw materials found on the Moon or other planetary bodies. The use of ISRU on the Moon may provide a means of reducing the cost and risk of human exploration of the Moon and beyond, and an impetus for com. contributions to lunar exploration. Potential products include O2 and H2O for life support, H2 and O2 for fuel and propellant, and other elements and compds. for metallurgic and chem. prodn. processes. If ISRU is to be applied successfully on the Moon, it is important that landing site selection, surface operations and suitable ISRU technologies are identified using knowledge of the availability and distribution of lunar resources and detailed understanding of the workings of the various processes available. Here, we review current knowledge of chem. and mineralogical resources on the Moon which can be used in the development of ISRU as a realistic component of future lunar exploration.

(Sage Publications Ltd.)The Moon Village and similar concepts are strongly reliant on in situ resource utilization (ISRU). There is great interest in harvesting solar power using locally leveraged in situ resources as an essential facet of in situ infrastructure. Traditionally, silicon-based photovoltaic cells have been assumed, preferably manufd. in situ using a 3D printing rover, but there are major difficulties with such scenarios. Solar cells require pre-processing of regolith and solar cell manuf. We present an alternative lunar resource leveraged-solar power prodn. system on the Moon which can yield high conversion efficiencies - solar Fresnel lens-thermionic conversion. The thermionic vacuum tube is constructed from lunar-derived materials and NiFe asteroidal ores on the Moon. Given that the majority of energy required for ISRU is thermal, thermionic conversion exploits this energy source directly. Silicates such as anorthite can be treated with acid to yield alumina and silicic acid in soln. from which pure silica can be pptd. Pure silica when heated to high temp. yields fused silica glass which is transparent - fused silica glass may be employed to manuf. Fresnel lenses and/or mirrors. Both silica and alumina may be input to the Metalysis Fray Farthing Chen Cambridge electrolytic process to yield near pure Si and near pure Al, resp.

With the exception of the anorthosites, the F content of the lunar samples is in the same range as for C1 chondrites. Contrary to F, the other halogen concns. show large variations. The lowest concns. are found in the mare basalts of Apollo 15 and 17, the highest in some highland breccias. Li correlates well with some of the incompatible elements in both mare basalts and KREEP contg. highland soils and breccias. From the obsd. ratios, it is evident that in the bulk compn. of the moon, Li is neither enriched nor depleted; it belongs to the group of nonrefractory elements. From the correlation of Li with some refractory elements (Be, La, etc.) a value of 50:50 for the refractory to nonrefractory portion of the moon is inferred without any further assumption, thus confirming previous ests. of Wanke et al. (1974a, 1975).

(Elsevier Ltd.)Comparing compositional models of the terrestrial planets provides insights into physicochem. processes that produced planet-scale similarities and differences. The widely accepted compositional model for Mars assumes Mn and more refractory elements are in CI chondrite proportions in the planet, including Fe, Mg, and Si, which along with O make up >90% of the mass of Mars. However, recent improvements in our understandings on the compn. of the solar photosphere and meteorites challenge the use of CI chondrite as an analog of Mars. Here we present an alternative model compn. for Mars that avoids such an assumption and is based on data from Martian meteorites and spacecraft observations. Our modeling method was previously applied to predict the Earth's compn. The model establishes the abs. abundances of refractory lithophile elements in the bulk silicate Mars (BSM) at 2.26 times higher than that in CI carbonaceous chondrites. Relative to this chondritic compn., Mars has a systematic depletion in moderately volatile lithophile elements as a function of their condensation temps. Given this finding, we constrain the abundances of siderophile and chalcophile elements in the bulk Mars and its core. The Martian volatility trend is consistent with ≤7 wt% S in its core, which is significantly lower than that assumed in most core models (i.e., >10 wt% S). Furthermore, the occurrence of ringwoodite at the Martian core-mantle boundary might have contributed to the partitioning of O and H into the Martian core.

(Academic)The authors derive the bulk chem. compn., phys. properties, and trace element abundances of Mars from two assumptions: (1) Mars is the parent body for the Shergottite-Nakhlite-Chassignite (SNC) meteorites, and (2) the oxygen isotopic compn. of Mars was detd. by the oxygen isotopic compns. of the different types of nebular material that accreted to form Mars. They use oxygen isotopes to constrain planetary bulk compns. because oxygen is generally the most abundant element in rock, and is either the first or second (after iron) most abundant element in any terrestrial planet, the Moon, other rocky satellites, and the asteroids. The oxygen isotopic compn. of Mars, calcd. from oxygen isotopic analyses of the SNC meteorites, corresponds to the accretion of about 85% H-, 11% CV-, and 4% CI-chondritic material. The bulk compn. of Mars follows from mass balance calcns. using mean compns. for these chondrite groups. It is predicted that silicates (mantle + crust) comprise about 80% of Mars. The compn. of the silicate fraction represents the compn. of the primordial martian mantle prior to crustal formation. The FeO content of the mantle is 17.2%. A metal-sulfide core, contg. about 10.6% S, makes up the remaining 20% of the planet. Our bulk compn. is similar to those from other models. The abundances of siderophile ("metal-loving") and chalcophile ("sulfide-loving") elements in the martian mantle were calcd. from the bulk compn. using (metal-sulfide)/silicate partition coeffs. These results generally agree with predictions of the SNC meteorite model of Wanke and Dreibus for the compn. of Mars. However, we predict higher abundances for the alkalies and halogens than those derived from SNC meteorite models for Mars. The apparent discrepancy indicates that the alkalies and halogens were lost from the martian mantle by hydrothermal leaching and/or vaporization during accretion. Geochem. arguments suggest that vaporization was only a minor loss process for these elements. On the other hand, aq. transport of the alkalis and halogens to the surface is supported by the terrestrial geochem. of these elements and the high K, Rb, Cl, and Br abundances found by the Viking XRF and Phobos gamma ray expts. on the surface of Mars.

(Wiley-Blackwell)A review. Benefiting from higher volumetric capacity, environmental friendliness and metallic dendrite-free magnesium (Mg) anodes, rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are of great importance to the development of energy storage technol. beyond lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their practical applications are still limited by the absence of suitable electrode materials, the sluggish kinetics of Mg2+ insertion/extn. and incompatibilities between electrodes and electrolytes. Herein, a systematic and insightful review of recent advances in RMBs, including intercalation-based cathode materials and conversion reaction-based compds. is presented. The relationship between microstructures with their electrochem. performances is comprehensively elucidated. In particular, anode materials are discussed beyond metallic Mg for RMBs. Furthermore, other Mg-based battery systems are also summarized, including Mg-air batteries, Mg-sulfur batteries, and Mg-iodine batteries.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. The ever-growing market of elec. vehicles and the upcoming grid-scale storage systems have stimulated the fast growth of renewable energy storage technologies. Aluminum-based batteries are considered one of the most promising alternatives to complement or possibly replace the current lithium-ion batteries owing to their high specific capacity, good safety, low cost, light wt., and abundant reserves of Al. However, the anode problems in primary and secondary Al batteries, such as, self-corrosion, passive film, and vol. expansion, severely limit the batteries' practical performance, thus hindering their commercialization. Herein, an overview of the currently emerged Al-based batteries is provided, that primarily focus on the recent research progress for Al anodes in both primary and rechargeable systems. The anode reaction mechanisms and problems in various Al-based batteries are discussed, and various strategies to overcome the challenges of Al anodes, including surface oxidn., self-corrosion, vol. expansion, and dendrite growth, are systematically summarized. Finally, future research perspectives toward advanced Al batteries with higher performance and better safety are presented.

(American Chemical Society)Electrolytes as an important part of sodium-ion batteries have a pivotal role for capacity, rate, and durability of electrode materials. On account of the high redn. activity of sodium metal with org. solvents, it is very important to optimize the electrolyte component to realize high stability on Na metal and hard carbon anodes. Herein, chem. and electrochem. stability of propylene carbonate (PC)-based electrolytes on sodium metal and hard carbon anodes is investigated systematically. The results demonstrate that whether using NaClO4 or NaPF6, the PC-based electrolytes are not stable on Na metal, but adding of FEC can immensely enhance the stability of the electrolyte because of the compact solid electrolyte interphase film formed. The electrolytes contg. FEC also exhibit high electrochem. compatibility on hard carbon anodes, showing high reversible capacity and excellent cycling performance. A reaction mechanism based on the Na+ induction effect is proposed by spectrum and electrochem. measurements. This study can provide a new insight to optimize and develop stable PC-based electrolytes and be helpful for understanding the other electrolyte systems. - 35Jin, Y.; Xu, Y.; Le, P. M. L.; Vo, T.

(American Chemical Society)The sodium ion battery (NIB) is a promising alternative technol. for energy storage systems because of the abundance and low cost of sodium in the Earth's crust. However, the limited cycle life and safety concerns of NIBs hinder their large-scale applications. Here, we report a nonflammable localized high concn. electrolyte (sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide-triethyl phosphate/1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (1:1.5:2 in molar ratio)) for highly reversible NIBs. By using a cryo-transmission electron microscope, it was found that an ultrathin (3 nm) and robust interphase layer formed on the cathode surface can block transition metal dissolns. and minimize surface reconstructions of the cathode. The inorg.-rich solid electrolyte interphase formed on the hard carbon (HC) surface minimized undesirable reactions between HC and the electrolyte. These stable interphases enabled high Coulombic efficiency and long-term stable cycling of the HC anode and the NaCu1/9Ni2/9Fe1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode. The insights obtained in this work can be used to further improve the cycling stability and safety of rechargeable batteries. - 36Wang, E.; Niu, Y.; Yin, Y.-X.; Guo, Y.-G.

(American Chemical Society)A review. After the past decade's rapid development, the com. demands for sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have been put on the schedule for large-scale energy storage. Even though the electrode-electrolyte interphases play a very important role in detg. the overall battery performance in terms of high energy d. and long-cycling stability, studies regarding their fundamental understanding and regulation strategies are still in their infancy. Herein, we comprehensively review the current research status and the challenging issues of the as-generated SIB interphases from three main aspects. Firstly, a fundamental understanding of the main body interphase layers is introduced through the development of their formation mechanism, their compn./structure, and the dynamic evolution process involved, all of which are highly responsible for the Na+ ion transport behavior to det. the final kinetic diffusion. Then, interphase manipulation via the parental electrolyte is summarized in terms of electrolyte engineering strategies, such as the solvent/salt selection, the concn. effect, and the functional additive screening to build a more stable interphase layer for desirable electrochem. reversibility. Finally, potential effects from the chosen electrodes are discussed to provide necessary assocns. with the interphase formation and evolution. Crit. challenges for building stable Na-based interphase are identified, and in particular, new ways of thinking about the interphase chem. and the electrolyte chem. based on SIBs, are strongly appealing. We believe that this work is likely to attract attention to the rational design of Na-based interphase layers towards high-energy and long-life-span batteries. - 37Yan, G.; Mariyappan, S.; Rousse, G.; Jacquet, Q.; Deschamps, M.; David, R.; Mirvaux, B.; Freeland, J.

(Nature Research)The growing need to store an increasing amt. of renewable energy in a sustainable way has rekindled interest for sodium-ion battery technol., owing to the natural abundance of sodium. Presently, sodium-ion batteries based on Na3V2(PO4)2F3/C are the subject of intense research focused on improving the energy d. by harnessing the third sodium, which has so far been reported to be electrochem. inaccessible. Here, we are able to trigger the activity of the third sodium electrochem. via the formation of a disordered NaxV2(PO4)2F3 phase of tetragonal symmetry (I4/mmm space group). This phase can reversibly uptake 3 sodium ions per formula unit over the 1 to 4.8 V voltage range, with the last one being re-inserted at 1.6 V vs Na+/Na0. We track the sodium-driven structural/charge compensation mechanism assocd. to the new phase and find that it remains disordered on cycling while its av. vanadium oxidn. state varies from 3 to 4.5. Full sodium-ion cells based on this phase as pos. electrode and carbon as neg. electrode show a 10-20% increase in the overall energy d.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF) with NASCION (Na superionic conductor) is recognized as a potential cathode material owing to its high theor. capacity. However, the electronic cond. of NVPF is much lower than its ionic cond., which seriously affects the properties of this material. The carbon layer can be used as the conductive medium to enhance the cond. of NVPF. In this study, we propose a single-step solid-state reaction method based on mech. activation with pitch as the carbon source to synthesize NVPF/C composites. The crystallog. structure and morphol. of all as-prepd. samples were investigated by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, BET measurement, thermal anal., SEM and TEM. Furthermore, the electrochem. performance and kinetic properties were analyzed by CV, galvanostatic charge-discharge and EIS tests. These tests outcomes demonstrated that the NVPF/C-2 composite with a carbon content of 12.14 wt% showed an excellent rate performance and cycle stability. It presented reversible capacities of 103 and 95 mA h g-1 at 0.2 and 10C, resp., and an outstanding retention of 91.9% after 500 cycles at 5C. These excellent properties of the NVPF/C-2 composite are attributed to its high ion diffusion coeff. and small charge transfer impedance.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Na-ion batteries (SIBs) have garnered tremendous interest due to their unique advantages of high safety, abundant Na resources, and low cost. Great research efforts of SIBs have been devoted to the exploitation and in-depth mechanism investigation of high-performance electrode materials. Among the various cathodes, Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF), a representative member of Na superionic conductor (NASICON) structured compds., has been considered to be a promising candidate because of its superior structural stability, fast ion transport, high operating potential and so on. However, its electrochem. performance and future large-scale applications have been hindered by the relatively low electronic cond. and high cost of NVPF. This review emphasizes the crystal structure and Na storage mechanisms together with synthetic methods of NVPF, and then summarizes various proposed strategies including carbon coating, element doping, size and morphol. design, etc. to meliorate the electrochem. performance of NVPF. Addnl., the applications of the NVPF cathode in other battery systems are included. Finally, our perspectives on the subsequent research and optimization of NVPF are also shared. This review not only is a comprehensive summary of NVPF for the first time but also provides a good ref. for the rational design of high-performance NVPF in the future.

The cathode materials play a crucial role in the cycling life and safety of SIBs. Among reported cathode candidates, Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP), a representative electrode material for sodium super ion conductor, has good application prospects due to its good structural stability, high ion cond. and high platform voltage (~ 3.4 V). However, its practical applications are still restricted by comparatively low electronic cond.

Meanwhile, the future research and further development of Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode are also discussed.

(American Chemical Society)The Na superionic conductor (NASICON) Na3V2(PO4)3 is an important pos. electrode material for Na-ion batteries. Here, we investigate the mechanisms of phase transition in NaxV2(PO4)3 (1 ≤ x ≤ 4) upon nonequil. battery cycling. Unlike the widely believed two-phase reaction in a Na3V2(PO4)3-Na1V2(PO4)3 system, we det., for the first time, the structure of a recently reported intermediate Na2V2(PO4)3 phase using operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction. D. functional theory calcns. further support the existence of the Na2V2(PO4)3 phase. We propose two possible crystal structures of Na2V2(PO4)3 analyzed by Rietveld refinement. The two structure models with the space groups P21/c or P2/c for the new intermediate Na2V2(PO4)3 phase show similar unit cell parameters but different at. arrangements, including vanadium charge ordering. As the appearance of the intermediate Na2V2(PO4)3 phase is accompanied by symmetry redn., Na(1) and Na(2) sites split into several positions in Na2V2(PO4)3, in which one of the splitting Na(2) position is found to be a vacancy, whereas the Na(1) positions are almost fully filled. The intermediate Na2V2(PO4)3 phase reduces the lattice mismatch between Na3V2(PO4)3 and Na1V2(PO4)3 phases, facilitating a fast phase transition. This work paves the way for a better understanding of great rate capabilities of Na3V2(PO4)3. - 42Liu, S.; Tong, Z.; Zhao, J.; Liu, X.; Wang, J.; Ma, X.; Chi, C.; Yang, Y.; Liu, X.; Li, Y.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Vanadium oxide (V2O5), as a potential pos. electrode for sodium ion batteries (SIBs), has attracted considerable attention from researchers. Herein, amorphous and cryst. V2O5 cathodes on a graphite paper without a binder and conductive additives were synthesized via facile anodic electrochem. deposition following different heat treatments. Both the amorphous V2O5 (a-V2O5) cathode and cryst. V2O5 (c-V2O5) cathode show good rate cycling performance and long cycling life. After five rate cycles, the reversible capacities of both the cathodes were almost unchanged at different current densities from 40 to 5120 mA g-1. Long cycling tests with 10 000 cycles were carried out and the two cathodes exhibit excellent cycling stability. The c-V2O5 cathode retains a high specific capacity of 54 mA h g-1 after 10 000 cycles at 2560 mA g-1 and can be charged within 80 s. Interestingly, the a-V2O5 cathode possesses higher reversible capacities than the c-V2O5 cathode at low current densities, whereas it is inversed at high current densities. The c-V2O5 cathode shows faster capacity recovery from 5120 to 40 mA g-1 than the a-V2O5 cathode. When discharged at 80 mA g-1 (long discharge time of 140 min) and charged at 640 mA g-1 (short charge time of 17 min), the a-V2O5 cathode shows a higher discharge capacity than its c-V2O5 counterpart. The different electrochem. performance of a-V2O5 and c-V2O5 cathodes during various electrochem. processes can provide a rational selection of amorphous or cryst. V2O5 cathode materials for SIBs in their practical applications to meet the variable requirements.

Identifying Earth-abundant, low-cost, and safe materials that can function as intercalation cathodes in Na-ion batteries is an important challenge facing the field. Here such a material, β-NaMnO2, is investigated with a different structure from that of NaMnO2 polymorphs and other compds. studied extensively in the past. It exhibits a high capacity (of ca. 190 mA h g-1 at a rate of C/20), along with a good rate capability (142 mA h g-1 at a rate of 2C) and a good capacity retention (100 mA h g-1after 100 Na extn./insertion cycles at a rate of 2C). Powder XRD, HRTEM, and 23Na NMR studies revealed that this compd. exhibits a complex structure consisting of intergrown regions of α-NaMnO2 and β-NaMnO2 domains. The collapse of the long-range structure at low Na content is expected to compromise the reversibility of the Na extn. and insertion processes occurring upon charge and discharge of the cathode material, resp. Yet stable, reproducible, and reversible Na intercalation is obsd. - 49Lee, E.; Brown, D. E.; Alp, E. E.; Ren, Y.; Lu, J.; Woo, J.-J.; Johnson, C. S.

(American Chemical Society)The emergence of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) employing cathodes based on earth abundant sodium and iron is expected to be ideal for large-scale elec. energy storage systems, for which the cost factor is of primary importance. However, these iron-based layered oxides still show unsatisfactory cycle performance, and the redox of the fleeting Fe3+/Fe4+ couple needs to be better understood. In this study, we examine the quasi-reversibility of the layered α-NaFeO2 cathode in sodium-ion cells. A NaFeO2 powder sample that has the O3-type layered structure was synthesized via a solid-state synthesis method. The changes in Fe oxidn. states and crystallog. structures were examd. during the electrochem. sodium cycling of the NaFeO2 electrodes. Ex situ Mossbauer spectroscopy anal. revealed the chem. instability of Fe4+ in a battery cell environment: more than 20% of Fe4+ species that was generated in the desodiated Na1-xFeO2 electrode was spontaneously reduced back to Fe3+ states during open circuit storage of the charged cell. The in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction further revealed the nonequil. phase transition behavior of the NaFeO2 cathode. A new layered phase (denoted as O''3) was obsd. in the course of sodium deintercalation, and an asym. structural behavior during cycling was identified. These findings explain the quasi-reversibility of α-NaFeO2 in the sodium cell and provide guidance for the future development of iron-based cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. - 50Zhuang, Y.; Zhao, J.; Zhao, Y.; Zhu, X.; Xia, H.

(Elsevier B.V.)Layered O3-NaFeO2 with abundant raw material resources is a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries. However, the synthesis of O3-NaFeO2 without using Na2O2 as sodium source is greatly difficult with formation of the electrochem. inactive β-NaFeO2. In the present work, the single crystal O3-NaFeO2 nanoflakes have been synthesized via a facile solvothermal route without using Na2O2 as sodium source. Through the solvothermal treatment, the inactive α-Fe2O3 can be converted into active γ-Fe2O3 first and subsequently into the single crystal NaFeO2 nanoflakes via Na+/Fe3+ topochem. ion exchange reaction. A thin layer of carbon is further coated on NaFeO2 nanoflakes to enhance its electrode kinetics and structural stability. The carbon coated NaFeO2 cathode delivers a high reversible specific capacity of 89.6 mAh g-1 at 0.1C and exhibits 87.3% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 0.1C, maintaining the layered O3-structure. By using hard carbon as anode, a carbon coated NaFeO2//hard carbon full cell is successfully constructed, exhibiting good cyclability with 81.9% capacity retention after 100 cycles. The present work provides a novel synthesis strategy for developing O3-NaFeO2-based cathode for sustainable sodium-ion batteries.

(American Chemical Society)The origin of the irreversible capacity of O3-type NaFeO2 charged to high voltage is investigated by analyzing the oxidn. state of Fe and phase transition of layered NaFeO2 cathodes for sodium-ion batteries during the charging process. In-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy results revealed that charge compensation does not occur through the Fe3+/Fe4+ redox reaction during sodium extn. as no significant shift to high energy was obsd. in the Fe K-edge. These results were reinforced with ex-situ near-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy, which suggests that oxygen redox activity is responsible for charge compensation. Formation of Fe3O4 product occurs because of oxygen release at high voltage when more than 0.5 Na is extd. from the structure; this is obsd. by transmission electron microscopy. NaFeO2 irreversibility is due to the formation of Fe3O4 with oxygen release, which inhibits Na insertion into the structure. - 52Kim, D. J.; Ponraj, R.; Kannan, A.

In this work, sodium ion intercalation/deintercalation behavior of Na0.44MnO2 (NMO), which is one of the promising cathode materials for sodium batteries, is presented in both aq. and non-aq. electrolyte systems. The NMO samples synthesized using modified Pechini method shows better rate capability in 0.5 M sodium sulfate aq. electrolyte system than the 1 M sodium perchlorate non-aq. system. The difference in the rate performance is extensively investigated using electrochem. impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements and the apparent diffusion coeffs. of sodium in NMO are detd. to be in the range of 1.08 × 10-13 to 9.15 × 10-12 cm2 s-1 in aq. system and in the range of 5.75 × 10-16 to 2.14 × 10-14 cm2 s-1 in non-aq. systems. The differences in the evaluated rate capability are mainly attributed to nearly two to three orders of magnitude difference in the apparent diffusion coeff. along with the charge transfer resistance and the resistance from the formed SEI layer.

(Elsevier Ltd.)Monocryst. orthorhombic Na0.44MnO2 nanoplate as a potential cathode material for sodium-ion batteries has been synthesized by a template-assisted sol-gel method. It exhibits high crystallinity, pure phase and homogeneous size distribution. During the synthesis, acidic and reductive conditions are applied to limit the prodn. of unfavorable Birnessite phase in the precursor, and colloidal polystyrene is included to avoid morphol. collapse during the gel formation and particle elongation in one direction. The decompns. of polystyrene and citric acid during high temp. firing offer a reductive carbothermal condition which can suppress the formation of unidimensional particles, and limit particle growth along the [001] direction. As a consequence, the material delivers 96 mAh g-1 discharge capacity at 10 C (86% of 0.1 C capacity) and maintains 97.8% capacity after 100 cycles at 0.5 C. Such superior rate capability and cycling stability of this material are among the best to date, suggesting its great interest in practical applications.

(American Chemical Society)P2-type layered oxides based on the elements Fe and Mn have attracted great interest as sodium ion battery (SIB) cathode materials owing to their inexpensive metal constituents and high specific capacity. However, they suffer from rapid capacity fading and complicated phase transformations. Here, we modulate the crystal structure and optimize the electrochem. performances of Na0.67Mn0.5Fe0.5O2 by Al doping for Mn or Fe, resp., and the roles of Al in the enhancement of the rate capability and cycling performance are unraveled. The substitution of Al for Mn or Fe decreases the lattice parameters a and c but enlarges d spacing and lengthens Na-O bonds, which enhances Na+ diffusion and rate capability esp. for Na0.67Mn0.5Fe0.47Al0.03O2. Al doping reduces the thickness of TMO2 and strengthens TM-O/O-O bonding. This enhances the layered structure stability and the capacity retention. Al doping mitigates Mn3+ and Jahn-Teller distortion, mitigating the irreversible phase transition. Al doping also alleviates the lattice vol. variation and the structure strain. This further improves the stability of the layered structure and the cycling performances particularly in the case of Al doping for Fe. The in-depth insights into the roles of Al substitution might be also useful for designing high-performance cathode materials for SIBs through appropriate lattice doping. - 56Xu, S.; Wang, Y.; Ben, L.; Lyu, Y.; Song, N.; Yang, Z.; Li, Y.; Mu, L.; Yang, H.-T.; Gu, L.; Hu, Y.-S.; Li, H.; Cheng, Z.-H.; Chen, L.; Huang, X.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. The use of plastic waste to develop high added value materials, also known as upcycling, is a useful strategy towards the development of more sustainable materials. More specifically, the use of plastic waste as a feedstock for synthesizing new materials for energy storage devices not only provides a route to upgrading plastic waste but also can help in the search for sustainable materials. This perspective describes recent strategies for the use of plastic waste as a sustainable, cheap and abundant feedstock in the prodn. of new materials for electrochem. energy storage devices such as lithium batteries, sodium batteries and supercapacitors. Two main strategies are described, the development of conducting carbons by combustion of plastic waste and the depolymn. of plastics into new chems. and materials. In both cases, catalysis has been key to ensuring high efficiency and performance. Future opportunities and challenges are highlighted and hypotheses are made on how the use of plastic waste could enhance the circularity of current energy storage devices.

(Elsevier Ltd.)The performance of energy storage materials is highly dependent on their nanostructures. Herein, hierarchical rod-in-tube TiO2 with a uniform carbon coating is synthesized as the anode material for sodium-ion batteries by a facile solvothermal method. This unique structure consists of a tunable nanorod core, interstitial hollow spaces, and a functional nanotube shell assembled from two-dimensional nanosheets. By adjusting the types of solvents used and reaction time, the morphologies of TiO2/C composites can be tuned to nanoparticles, microrods, rod-in-tube structures, or microtubes. Among these materials, rod-in-tube TiO2 with a uniform carbon coating shows the highest electronic cond., sp. surface area (336.4 m2 g-1), and porosity, and these factors lead to the best sodium storage capability. Benefiting from the unique structural features and improved electronic/ionic cond., the as-obtained rod-in-tube TiO2/C in coin cell tests exhibits a high discharge capacity of 277.5 and 153.9 mAh g-1 at 50 and 5000 mA g-1, resp., and almost 100% capacity retention over 14,000 cycles at 5000 mA g-1. In operando high-energy X-ray diffraction further confirms the stable crystal structure of the rod-in-tube TiO2/C during Na+ insertion/extn. This work highlights that nanostructure design is an effective strategy to achieve advanced energy storage materials.

Exptl., the obsd. specific capacity for pristine ilmenite is far away from the theor. value; for this reason, the control of morphol. via alk. hydrothermal treatment has been proposed as possible strategy to improve the electrochem. performance. At the same time FeTiO3 is prone to react with sodium and potassium hydroxide, as already demonstrated by studies on the degrdn. of ilmenite for the extn. of TiO2. In this paper we demonstrate that the alk. treatment does not induce a morphol. modification of the FeTiO3 powders but involved the degrdn. of the precursor material with the formation of different phases. A complete physicochem. and electrochem. characterization is performed with the aim of correlating structural and functional properties of the obtained products.

(Elsevier B.V.)The development of electrode materials which improve both the energy d. and cycle life is one of the most challenging issues facing the practical application of sodium-ion batteries today. In this work, FeTiO3/C nanoparticles are synthesized as neg. electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries. The electrochem. performance and charge-discharge mechanism of the FeTiO3/C neg. electrode are investigated in an ionic liq. electrolyte at 90°C. The FeTiO3/C neg. electrode delivers a high reversible capacity of 403 mAh g-1 at a current rate of 10 mA g-1, and exhibits high rate capability and excellent cycling stability for up to 2000 cycles.

By introducing a TiO2 shell on metal-org. framework (Fe-MOF) nanorods by sol-gel deposition and subsequent solid-state annealing treatment of these core-shell Fe-MOF@TiO2, such well-defined FTO-CNTs are obtained. The achieved FTO-CNT electrode has several distinct advantages including a hollow interior in the hybrid nanostructure, fully encapsulated ultrasmall electroactive units, flexible conductive carbon matrix, and stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) of FTO in cycles. FTO-CNT electrodes present an excellent cycle stability (358.8 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 100 mA g-1) and remarkable rate capability (201.8 mA h g-1 at 5000 mA g-1) with a high Coulombic efficiency of approx. 99%.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review. Presently, environmental problems and regulations have caused awareness to producer liability concerning plastics recycling as they try to meet global demand. Process-induced degrdn. during recycling as well as degrdn. brought on by thermomech. operations (e.g. extrusion, injection molding, etc.) or other processes typically leads to irreversible changes in the physicochem. properties and structure of the material. Thus, it is important to understand the magnitude and mechanisms of property deterioration during the recycling process via either chem., thermomech., reutilization, or incineration methods while, looking into possible utilizations, applications, and solns. for the existing global accumulated polyolefine (PO) waste. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent research efforts and industrial trends in PO recycling. Although a wide variety of POs exist in the market, this review focuses on polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). The ongoing challenges and future potential of plastic recycling are also discussed.

This has prompted speculation of what their influence would be on habitability. We show that when irradiated with a simulated Martian UV flux, perchlorates become bacteriocidal. At concentrations associated with Martian surface regolith, vegetative cells of Bacillus subtilis in Martian analogue environments lost viability within minutes. Two other components of the Martian surface, iron oxides and hydrogen peroxide, act in synergy with irradiated perchlorates to cause a 10.8-fold increase in cell death when compared to cells exposed to UV radiation after 60 seconds of exposure. These data show that the combined effects of at least three components of the Martian surface, activated by surface photochemistry, render the present-day surface more uninhabitable than previously thought, and demonstrate the low probability of survival of biological contaminants released from robotic and human exploration missions.

(Nature Publishing Group)Detg. whether liq. water exists on the Martian surface is central to understanding the hydrol. cycle and potential for extant life on Mars. Recurring slope lineae, narrow streaks of low reflectance compared to the surrounding terrain, appear and grow incrementally in the downslope direction during warm seasons when temps. reach about 250-300 K, a pattern consistent with the transient flow of a volatile species. Brine flows (or seeps) have been proposed to explain the formation of recurring slope lineae, yet no direct evidence for either liq. water or hydrated salts has been found. Here we analyze spectral data from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars instrument onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter from four different locations where recurring slope lineae are present. We find evidence for hydrated salts at all four locations in the seasons when recurring slope lineae are most extensive, which suggests that the source of hydration is recurring slope lineae activity. The hydrated salts most consistent with the spectral absorption features we detect are magnesium perchlorate, magnesium chlorate and sodium perchlorate. Our findings strongly support the hypothesis that recurring slope lineae form as a result of contemporary water activity on Mars.

(American Chemical Society)Solid electrolytes (SEs) offer great potential as the basis for safer rechargeable batteries with high energy d. Aside from excellent ion cond., the stability of SEs against the highly reactive metal anode is also a prerequisite to achieve good performance in solid-state batteries (SSBs). Yet, most SEs are found to have limited thermodn. stability and are unstable against Li/Na metal. With the combination of AC impedance spectroscopy, first-principles calcns., and in situ XPS, we unequivocally reveal that a NaSICON-structured Na3Zr2Si2PO12 electrolyte forms a kinetically stable interface against sodium metal. Prolonged galvanostatic cycling of sym. Na|Na3Zr2Si2PO12|Na cells shows stable plating/stripping behavior of sodium metal at a c.d. of 0.1 mA cm-2 and an areal capacity of 0.5 mA h cm-2 at room temp. Evaluation of Na3Zr2Si2PO12 as an electrolyte in SSBs further demonstrates its good cycling stability for over 120 cycles with very limited capacity degrdn. This work provides strong evidence that Na3Zr2Si2PO12 is one of the few electrolytes that simultaneously achieve superionic cond. and excellent chem./electrochem. stability, making it a very promising alternative to liq. electrolytes. Our findings open up a fertile avenue of exploration for SSBs based on Na3Zr2Si2PO12 and related SEs. - 72Hayashi, A.; Noi, K.; Sakuda, A.; Tatsumisago, M.

All-solid-state batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes and electrodes are promising power sources for a wide range of applications because of their safety, long-cycle lives and versatile geometries. Rechargeable sodium batteries are more suitable than lithium-ion batteries, because they use abundant and ubiquitous sodium sources. Solid electrolytes are critical for realizing all-solid-state sodium batteries. Here we show that stabilization of a high-temperature phase by crystallization from the glassy state dramatically enhances the Na(+) ion conductivity. An ambient temperature conductivity of over 10(-4) S cm(-1) was obtained in a glass-ceramic electrolyte, in which a cubic Na(3)PS(4) crystal with superionic conductivity was first realized. All-solid-state sodium batteries, with a powder-compressed Na(3)PS(4) electrolyte, functioned as a rechargeable battery at room temperature.

The ionic cond. of electrolytes reached as high as 8 mS/cm, decreasing slowly as the salt content increased due to increasing of viscosity and d. of the electrolyte.

(MDPI AG)This work provides an overview of the aluminum (Al) recycling process, from the scrap upgrading to the melting process. Innovations and new trends regarding the Al recycling technologies are highlighted. Aluminum recycling offers advantages in terms of environmental and economic benefits. The presence of deleterious impurities in recycled Al alloys is increasing and this is the main drawback if compared to primary alloys. The continuous growth of undesired elements can be mitigated by different technologies, preliminary operations and treatments, and by the optimization of the melting process. Downgrading and diln. are possible solns. to reduce the rate of impurities, but they are not sustainable if the final use of Al alloy continuously increases. The main objectives in the development of the Al recycling are shown and discussed. In particular, the evolution of preliminary treatments of the scrap, as sorting, comminution and de-coating, is reported and a review of the melting technologies is also presented. However, the choice of performing preliminary operations to the melting stage, thus improving the operating conditions during the furnace running, is a trade-off between costs and process efficiency.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Consumer electronics is a vibrant, worldwide market force, leading to ever-increasing demands for portable power. As the dimensions of devices continue to shrink, the question arises as to how power sources of comparable scale will be fabricated. The 2-D configurations of traditional batteries may not be effective, despite their high energy d. Energy conversion and harvesting may be more suitable for powering microdevices, simply because of the ability to provide on-board power. Three-dimensional batteries offer a different approach and 3-D designs that emphasize power sources with small areal footprints, without compromising power and energy d., are presented. While this approach may not help solve the power needs for cell phones and laptop computers, it will have a significant impact on current and future generations of microdevices. In particular, distributed sensor networks and wireless communication systems are representative areas where 3-D batteries would be welcomed enthusiastically because the power supplies currently in use are many times the size of the device. Some of the design rules for 3-D batteries are proposed with the necessary materials and fabrication strategies. Hierarchical designs based on nanostructured materials, including the deliberate management of void space, have been organized into larger macroscopic structures and the first results are impressive.

(IOP Publishing Ltd.)Among the various additive manufg. processes, material extrusion techniques recently emerged as an encouraging option in order to 3D-print lithium-ion battery components. In this work, an overview of the recent advances and progress on the ink material extrusion, known as liq. deposition modeling (LDM), as well as the thermoplastic material extrusion process, known originally as the trademark Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), is discussed. Representing a promising route to achieve complete lithium-ion batteries in a single print without the necessity to perform any postprocesses, a particular consideration is devoted to the FDM process.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Additive manufg. (also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing) is being extensively utilized in many areas of electrochem. to produce electrodes and devices, as this technique allows for fast prototyping and is relatively low cost. Furthermore, there is a variety of 3D-printing technologies available, which include fused deposition modeling (FDM), inkjet printing, select laser melting (SLM), and stereolithog. (SLA), making additive manufg. a highly desirable technique for electrochem. purposes. In particular, over the last no. of years, a significant amt. of research into using 3D printing to create electrodes/devices for electrochem. energy conversion and storage has emerged. Strides have been made in this area; however, there are still a no. of challenges and drawbacks that need to be overcome in order to 3D print active and stable electrodes/devices for electrochem. energy conversion and storage to rival that of the state-of-the-art. In this review, an overview is given of the reasoning behind using 3D printing for these electrochem. applications. How the electrochem. performance of the electrodes/devices are affected by the various 3D-printing technologies and by manipulating the 3D-printed electrodes by post modification techniques are discussed. Finally, the insights are given into the future perspectives of this exciting field based on the discussion through the review. - 88Maurel, A.; Martinez, A.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)In this communication, we developed GO-based electrode composite inks and solid-state electrolyte inks to achieve all component 3D-printed lithium-ion batteries. The 3D-printed lithium-ion batteries were successfully created using aq. GO-based inks consisting of highly concd. graphene oxide sheets as well as cathode and anode active materials. Note that using water as a green solvent makes this aq. ink system feasible for processing, drying safety, and low cost. Highly concd. graphene oxide sheets provide the prerequisite viscosity to bind the electrode materials together and enable 3D printing. Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP) and lithium titanium oxide (Li4Ti5O12, LTO) were selected as the cathode and anode materials, resp., for the demonstration purpose. It is anticipated that this process can also be extended to other active materials. To create high mass loading per unit area electrodes in an interdigitated battery configuration,fine filaments were extruded directly from a nozzle and then deposited layer-by-layer using a preprogrammed printing routine. Due to the shear stress induced by the nozzle, the GO flakes are aligned along the extruding direction, which enhances the electrode's elec. cond. In addn., the GO flake's intrinsically porous structure offers a large amt. of surface area to load the LFP or LTO nanoparticles as well as house the electrolyte. Our demonstration of 3D-printed lithium-ion batteries featured graphene oxide as a promising printable material in 3D printing manufg. and printable energy storage applications.

(Elsevier Ltd.)Electrodes for lithium-ion batteries can be fabricated in many ways including conventional roller coating and 3D printing. Roller coating is a standardized process in current lithium-ion battery industry, while 3D printing has been used to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) unconventional electrodes with tailored geometries. Our previous study proposed a low temp. 3D printing process to fabricate highly-porous LiFePO4 (LFP) electrodes. However, there still lack a study on the comparison of electrochem. performance of LFP electrodes fabricated via the three different fabrication processes including low temp. direct writing-based 3D printing (LTDW), room temp. direct ink writing (DIW) and roller coating process. In this study, we fabricated LFP cathodes using these three fabrication processes from LFP inks with different solid contents. By varying the solid content, LFP electrodes with different geometries (including width and thickness), morphologies and porous microstructures were obtained via LTDW and DIW. Mercury porosimetry was performed to examine the differences of the three types of LFP electrodes in porous microstructures. Electrochem. performance including charge/discharge, rate performance, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochem. impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of the three types of electrodes were measured and compared. Results showed that electrode fabrication processes have important effects on the electrochem. performance of LFP electrodes depending on the ink solid content. LTDW-fabricated electrodes had the best performance at high solid content (≥0.467 g/mL) and conventional roller coated electrodes performed better at low solid content (≤0.356 g/mL). Relationships between ink solid content, fabrication process, resulting porous microstructures and electrochem. performance were discussed. Finally, an optimal specific capacity of ∼82 mAh.g-1 @ 10C was achieved at a solid content of 0.467 g/mL by LTDW process.

Modern batteries are fabricated in the form of laminated structures that are composed of randomly mixed constituent materials. This randomness in conventional methods can provide a possibility of developing new breakthrough processing techniques to build well-organized structures that can improve battery performance. In the proposed processing, an electric field (EF) controls the microstructures of manganese-based electrodes, while additive manufacturing controls macro-3D structures and the integration of both scales. The synergistic control of micro-/macro-structures is a novel concept in energy material processing that has considerable potential for providing unprecedented control of electrode structures, thereby enhancing performance. Electrochemical tests have shown that these new electrodes exhibit superior performance in their specific capacity, areal capacity, and life cycle.

(AM) is a very promising soln., which enables to build structurally complex electrodes with well-controlled geometry, shape and thickness. Here we report on 3D-printed cathodes based on LiMn2O4 (LMO) as the active material, which are fabricated by robocasting AM via aq. processing. Such a technol. is: (i) environmentally friendly, since it works well with water and green binders; (ii) fast, due to very short deposition times and rapid drying process because of low amt. of solvent in the printable pastes; (iii) easily scalable. The cathodes are produced by extruding pastes with higher solid loadings (>70 vol%) than those typically reported in literature. The printing efficiency is strongly affected by both the binder and the carbonaceous additive. The best cathode is composed by LMO, Pluronic as the binder, and a mixt. of graphite/carbon black as the electronic conductor, which is crit. for achieving optimal electrochem. performance. The cathode with thickness of 200μm and mass loading of 13 mg cm-2 exhibits good electrochem. areal capacity (2.3 mAh cm-2) and energy d. (>32 J cm-2). Our results may boost the development of greener, lower cost and more efficient new generation of LIBs for applications as household energy storage or even micro-battery technol.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Continuous novelty as the basis for creative advance in rapidly developing different form-factor microelectronic devices requires seamless integrability of batteries. Thus, in the past decade, along with developments in battery materials, the focus has been shifting more and more towards innovative fabrication processes, unconventional configurations, and designs with multi-functional components. We present here, for the first time, a novel concept and feasibility study of a 3D-microbattery printed by fused-filament fabrication (FFF). The reversible electrochem. cycling of 3D printed lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium titanate (LTO) composite polymer electrodes vs. the lithium metal anode has been demonstrated in cells contg. conventional non-aq. and ionic-liq. electrolytes. We believe that by using comprehensively structured interlaced electrode networks it would be possible not only to fabricate free form-factor batteries but also to alleviate the continuous vol. changes occurring during charge and discharge.

(American Chemical Society)The ability to 3D print lithium ion batteries (LIBs) in an arbitrary geometry would not only allow the battery form factor to be customized to fit a given product design but also facilitate the use of the battery as a structural component. A major hurdle to achieving this goal is the low ionic cond. of the polymers used for 3D printing. This article reports the development of anode, cathode, and separator materials that enable 3D printing of complete lithium ion batteries with low cost and widely available fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was infused with a mixt. of Et Me carbonate, propylene carbonate, and LiClO4 to obtain an ionic cond. of 0.085 mS cm-1, a value comparable to that of polymer and hybrid electrolytes. Different elec. conductive (Super P, graphene, multiwall carbon nanotubes) and active (lithium titanate, lithium manganese oxide) materials were blended into PLA to det. the relationships among filler loading, cond., charge storage capacity, and printability. Up to 30 vol % of solids could be mixed into PLA without degrading its printability, and an 80:20 ratio of conductive to active material maximized the charge storage capacity. The highest capacity was obtained with lithium titanate and graphene nanoplatelets in the anode, and lithium manganese oxide and multiwall carbon nanotubes in the cathode. We demonstrate the use of these novel materials in a fully 3D printed coin cell, as well as 3D printed wearable electronic devices with integrated batteries. - 103Maurel, A.; Armand, M.; Grugeon, S.; Fleutot, B.; Davoisne, C.; Tortajada, H.; Courty, M.; Panier, S.; Dupont, L.

(Electrochemical Society)The high areal-energy and power requirements of advanced microelectronic devices favor the choice of a lithium-ion system, since it provides the highest energy d. of available battery technologies suitable for a variety of applications. Several attempts have been made to produce primary and secondary thin-film batteries utilizing printing techniques. These technologies are still at an early stage, and most currently-printed batteries exploit printed electrodes sandwiching self-standing com. polymer membranes, produced by conventional extrusion or papermaking techniques, followed by soaking in non-aq. liq. electrolytes. In this work, a novel flexible-battery design is suggested and the initial results are reported of development and characterization of novel 3D printed all-solid-state electrolytes prepd. by fused-filament fabrication (FFF). The electrolytes are composed of LiTFSI, polyethylene oxide (PEO), which is a known lithium-ion conductor, and polylactic acid (PLA) for enhanced mech. properties and high-temp. durability. The 3D printed electrolytes were characterized by means of ESEM imaging, mass spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and electrochem. impedance spectroscopy (EIS). TOFSIMS anal. reveals formation of lithium complexes with both polymers. The flexible all-solid LiTFSI-based electrolyte exhibited bulk ionic cond. of 3 × 10-5 S/cm at 90° and 156 Ω x cm2 resistance of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). It is believed that the coordination mechanism of the lithium cation by the oxygen of the PLA chain is similar to that of PEO and local relaxation motions of PLA chain segments could promote Li-ion hopping between oxygens of adjacent CH-O groups. What is meant by this is that PLA not only improves the mech. properties of PEO, but also serves as a Li-ion-conducting medium. These results pave the way for a fully printed solid battery, which enables free-form-factor flexible geometries.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)3D multicomponent metal oxides with complex architectures can enable previously impossible energy storage devices, particularly lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrodes with fully controllable form factors. Existing additive manufg. approaches for fabricating 3D multicomponent metal oxides rely on particle-based or org.-inorg. binders, which are limited in their resoln. and chem. compn., resp. In this work, aq. metal salt solns. are used as metal precursors to circumvent these limitations, and provide a platform for 3D printing multicomponent metal oxides. As a proof-of-concept, architected lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) structures are fabricated by first synthesizing a homogenous lithium and cobalt nitrate aq. photoresin, and then using it with digital light processing printing to obtain lithium and cobalt ion contg. hydrogels. The 3D hydrogels are calcined to obtain micro-porous self-similar LCO architectures with a resoln. of ≈100μm. These free-standing, binder- and conductive additive-free LCO structures are integrated as cathodes into LIBs, and exhibit electrochem. capacity retention of 76% over 100 cycles at C/10. This facile approach to fabricating 3D LCO structures can be extended to other materials by tailoring the identity and stoichiometry of the metal salt solns. used, providing a versatile method for the fabrication of multicomponent metal oxides with complex 3D architectures.

J.; Bruce, Peter G.Energy & Environmental Science (2018), 11 (1), 185-201CODEN: EESNBY; ISSN:1754-5706. (Royal Society of Chemistry)Hybrid solid electrolytes, composed of 3D ordered bicontinuous conducting ceramic and insulating polymer microchannels are reported. The ceramic channels provide continuous, uninterrupted pathways, maintaining high ionic cond. between the electrodes, while the polymer channels permit improvement of the mech. properties from that of the ceramic alone, in particular mitigation of the ceramic brittleness. The cond. of a ceramic electrolyte is usually limited by resistance at the grain boundaries, necessitating dense ceramics. The cond. of the 3D ordered hybrid is reduced by only the vol. fraction occupied by the ceramic, demonstrating that the ceramic channels can be sintered to high d. similar to a dense ceramic disk. The hybrid electrolytes are demonstrated using the ceramic lithium ion conductor Li1.4Al0.4Ge1.6(PO4)3 (LAGP). Structured LAGP 3D scaffolds with empty channels were prepd. by neg. replication of a 3D printed polymer template. Filling the empty channels with non-conducting polypropylene (PP) or epoxy polymer (epoxy) creates the structured hybrid electrolytes with 3D bicontinuous ceramic and polymer microchannels. Printed templating permits precise control of the ceramic to polymer ratio and the microarchitecture; as demonstrated by the formation of cubic, gyroidal, diamond and spinodal (bijel) structures. The elec. and mech. properties depend on the microarchitecture, the gyroid filled with epoxy giving the best combination of cond. and mech. properties. An ionic cond. of 1.6 × 10-4 S cm-1 at room temp. was obtained, reduced from the cond. of a sintered LAGP pellet only by the vol. fraction occupied by the ceramic. The mech. properties of the gyroid LAGP-epoxy electrolyte demonstrate up to 28% higher compressive failure strain and up to five times the flexural failure strain of a LAGP pellet before rupture. Notably, this demonstrates that ordered ceramic and polymer hybrid electrolytes can have superior mech. properties without significantly compromising ionic cond., which addresses one of the key challenges for all-solid-state batteries.

(Electrochemical Society)Here we demonstrate the use of projection stereo-micro-lithog. as a low-cost and high-throughput method to fabricate three dimensional (3D) microbattery. An UV-curable Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-base gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) is first created. The GPE is then used as a resin for micro-stereolithog. in order to build a 3D architecture of battery's electrolyte. Active materials, LiFePO4 (LFP) and Li4Ti5O12 (LTO), are mixed with carbon black and the GPE resin, which is then flown into the 3D structure. Aluminum (Al) foil is cut and inserted as a current collector. The GPE is characterized and the microbattery is performed a cycling test. Results show a feasibility of microbattery fabrication using projection micro-stereolithog.

(Nature Portfolio)Additive manufg., also called 3D printing, has the potential to enable the development of flexible, wearable and customizable batteries of any shape, maximizing energy storage while also reducing dead-wt. and vol. In this work, for the first time, three-dimensional complex electrode structures of high-energy d. LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NMC 111) material are developed by means of a vat photopolymn. (VPP) process combined with an innovative precursor approach. This innovative approach involves the solubilization of metal precursor salts into a UV-photopolymerizable resin, so that detrimental light scattering and increased viscosity are minimized, followed by the in-situ synthesis of NMC 111 during thermal post-processing of the printed item. The absence of solid particles within the initial resin allows the prodn. of smaller printed features that are crucial for 3D battery design. The formulation of the UV-photopolymerizable composite resin and 3D printing of complex structures, followed by an optimization of the thermal post-processing yielding NMC 111 is thoroughly described in this study. Based on these results, this work addresses one of the key aspects for 3D printed batteries via a precursor approach: the need for a compromise between electrochem. and mech. performance in order to obtain fully functional 3D printed electrodes. In addn., it discusses the gaps that limit the multi-material 3D printing of batteries via the VPP process.

(American Chemical Society)Selective laser sintering (SLS) 3-dimensional printing was used to fabricate highly porous carbonous electrodes. The electrodes were prepd. by using a mixt. of fine graphite powder and either polyamide-12, polystyrene, or polyurethane polymer powder as SLS printing material. During the printing process the graphite powder was dispersed uniformly on the supporting polymer matrix. Graphite's concn. in the mixt. was varied between 5 and 40% to find the correlation between the C content and cond. The graphite concn., polymer matrix, and printing conditions all had an impact on the final cond. Due to the SLS printing technique, all the 3-dimensional printed electrodes were highly porous. By using polyurethane as the supporting matrix it was possible to produce flexible electrodes in which the cond. is sensitive to pressure and mech. stress. Phys. properties such as graphite distribution, attachment, and the overall porosity of the printed electrodes were studied using SEM, He ion microscopy (HIM), and x-ray tomog. The combination of chem. design of the printing material and the use of SLS 3-dimensional printing enables fabrication of highly customizable electrodes with desired chem., phys., mech., and flow-through properties. - 112Inamdar, A.; Magana, M.; Medina, F.; Grajeda, Y.; Wicker, R.

(SL) machine on a sep. stand-alone system and adapting the components to function with addnl. components required for MMSL operation. The MMSL machine required construction of a new frame and the development of a new rotating vat carousel system, platform assembly, and automatic leveling system. The overall operation of the MMSL system was managed using a custom LabVIEW program, which included controlling a new vat leveling system and new linear and rotational stages, while the com. SL control software (3-dimensional Systems Buildstation 4.0) was retained for controlling the laser scanning process. During MMSL construction, the sweeping process can be inhibited by previously cured layers, and thus, a deep-dip coating process without sweeping was used with low viscosity resins. Low viscosity resins were created by dilg. com. resins, including DSM Somos WaterShed 11120, ProtoTherm 12120, and 14120 White, with propoxylated (2) neopentyl glycol diacrylate (PNGD). Several multi-material complex parts were produced providing compelling evidence that MMSL can produce unique parts that are functional, visually illustrative, and constructed with multi-materials.
