要旨

Optimizing electrode architecture to enhance areal capacity is key to enabling greater capacity in batteries. Unfortunately, the cost and manufacturing techniques associated with innovative electrode designs have constrained their application. In situ powder infiltration is applied to integrate LiFePO4 nanoparticles (LFP NPs) into highly porous aluminum networks (pAlN) in novel binder-free three-dimensional positive electrodes. The substrate assembled from porous Al wool and foams provides a continuous conductive skeleton. Combined in situ powder infiltration and solution impregnation enables direct anchoring of LFP onto the network, avoiding electrochemically inactive binder additives, whilst achieving excellent mechanical properties, high active material mass loading and good electronic/ionic conductivity. Due to the exquisite interface contact, the formed LFP/pAlN positive electrode exhibits superior areal capacity (6.56 mA h cm−2 at 0.55 mA cm−2) and capacity retention (94.1%, at 2.32 mA cm−2 for 100 cycles). The new electrode structures maximize the functionality of available electrode materials, facilitating the integration of future chemistries into cost-effective and scalable devices.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry A are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Artificial photosynthesis Batteries Carbon dioxide conversion Catalysis Fuel cells Gas capture/separation/storage Green/sustainable materials Hydrogen generation Hydrogen storage Photocatalysis Photovoltaics Self-cleaning materials Self-healing materials Sensors Supercapacitors Thermoelectrics Water splitting Water treatment
