          Abstract

          A composite of olivine lithium manganese iron phosphate (LiMn 0.5Fe 0.5PO 4), external carbon coating and internal embedded carbon flakes, EC-IC-LMFP, is prepared by using phytic acid (PhyA) as phosphorus source via solvothermal process followed by calcination. The composite with improved electronic conductivity and ion diffusivity presents an ultrahigh reversible specific capacity of 193 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C, and an excellent cycling stability of 93% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C when applied as a cathode material for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Additionally, the composite fine powders exhibit a special microstructure and its volumetric energy density is estimated to reach 1605 Wh L −1, much larger than the commercial LiFePO 4.

          Phosphorus-doped ordered mesoporous carbons with different lengths as efficient metal-free electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media.

          Phosphorus-doped ordered mesoporous carbons (POMCs) with different lengths were synthesized using a metal-free nanocasting method of SBA-15 mesoporous silica with different sizes as template and triphenylphosphine and phenol as phosphorus and carbon sources, respectively. The resultant POMC with a small amount of P doping is demonstrated as a metal-free electrode with excellent electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), coupled with much enhanced stability and alcohol tolerance compared to those of platinum via four-electron pathway in alkaline medium. Interestingly, the POMC with short channel length is found to have superior electrochemical performances compared to those with longer sizes.

            Rational material design for ultrafast rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

            Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are important electrochemical energy storage devices for consumer electronics and emerging electrical/hybrid vehicles. However, one of the formidable challenges is to develop ultrafast charging LIBs with the rate capability at least one order of magnitude (>10 C) higher than that of the currently commercialized LIBs. This tutorial review presents the state-of-the-art developments in ultrafast charging LIBs by the rational design of materials. First of all, fundamental electrochemistry and related ionic/electronic conduction theories identify that the rate capability of LIBs is kinetically limited by the sluggish solid-state diffusion process in electrode materials. Then, several aspects of the intrinsic materials, materials engineering and processing, and electrode materials architecture design towards maximizing both ionic and electronic conductivity in the electrode with a short diffusion length are deliberated. Finally, the future trends and perspectives for the ultrafast rechargeable LIBs are discussed. Continuous rapid progress in this area is essential and urgent to endow LIBs with ultrafast charging capability to meet huge demands in the near future.
