All-solid-state lithium-metal batteries (ASSLMBs) are widely considered as the ultimately advanced lithium batteries owing to their improved energy density and enhanced safety features. Among various solid electrolytes, sulfide solid electrolyte (SSE) Li6PS5Cl has garnered significant attention. However, its application is limited by its poor cyclability and low critical current density (CCD). In this study, we introduce a novel approach to enhance the performance of Li6PS5Cl by doping it with fluorine, using lithium fluoride nanoparticles (LiFs) as the doping precursor. The F-doped electrolyte Li6PS5Cl-0.2LiF(nano) shows a doubled CCD, from 0.5 to 1.0 mA/cm2 without compromising the ionic conductivity; in fact, conductivity is enhanced from 2.82 to 3.30 mS/cm, contrary to the typical performance decline seen in conventionally doped Li6PS5Cl electrolytes. In symmetric Li|SSE|Li cells, the lifetime of Li6PS5Cl-0.2LiF(nano) is 4 times longer than that of Li6PS5Cl, achieving 1500 h vs. 371 h under a charging/discharging current density of 0.2 mA/cm2. In Li|SSE|LiNbO3@NCM721 full cells, which are tested under a cycling rate of 0.1 C at 30 °C, the lifetime of Li6PS5Cl-0.2LiF(nano) is four times that of Li6PS5Cl, reaching 100 cycles vs. 26 cycles. Therefore, the doping of nano-LiF offers a promising approach to developing high-performance Li6PS5Cl for ASSLMBs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lithium sulfide (Li2S) as a cathode material for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, one of the most promising advanced batteries in the future, has received tremendous attention in the past decades. However, developing the practical Li2S cathode confronts challenges of low conductivity for Li-ions and electrons, high sensitivity to environmental moisture, big overpotential barrier to electrochemical activation, and poor cyclability due to the shuttle effect of intermediate species. This article herein reports a simple and effective strategy for making Li2S@Li2S2@Li2S6 double-shelled microparticles, which can significantly mitigate these problems. They are synthesized by dissolving Li2S together with S in dimethoxyethane, then drying off the solvent, and finally calcining the collected solid. Compared with pure Li2S, such a double-shell material presents a 26.7% improvement in cycling capacity, 0.5 V lower in activation overpotential, and prolonged tolerance in the ambient environment. The density functional theory calculation shows that the performance enhancement lies in the higher stability of Li2S6 in contact with moisture and some autocatalytic effect of Li2S2@Li2S6. Such a double-shell structure becomes a universal performance-enhancing approach when being combined with other means, such as cathodes composited with catalytic MoS2, separators modified with selenium-doped sulfurized-polyacrylonitrile/montmorillonite, electrolytes containing fluorenone additive, and Li anodes coated with a layer of Li3N. The corresponding capacity retention shows up to 80% improvement compared with pure Li2S. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to provide a data-oriented risk prevention and control system for seven major kinetic energy supply systems (power distribution, dust removal, moisture removal and odor removal, air pressure, vacuum, process soft water and sewage station water manufacturing, boiler steam system, air conditioning). The traditional risk control means should be improved through systematic process and information technology, and the risk management of operation control should be gradually transformed from event-driven to data-driven, so as to strengthen the comprehensive warning and prevention and control of operational risks. The management mode of integrated management and control is “clear hierarchy, effective air separation, effective control in place, quick early warning and simple handling”. Water, electricity, gas and steam of the power system are realized as part of the internal quality and process control of the cigarette brand, and all the control is pushed to the power supply terminal.
