Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of large cations on the electrochemical properties of tunnel-structured metal oxides
Yifei Yuan,Yifei Yuan,Chun Zhan,Kun He,Hungru Chen,Wentao Yao,Soroosh Sharifi-Asl,Boao Song,Zhenzhen Yang,Anmin Nie,Anmin Nie,Xiangyi Luo,Hui Wang,Stephen M. Wood,Khalil Amine,M. Saiful Islam,Jun Lu,Reza Shahbazian-Yassar,Reza Shahbazian-Yassar +18 more
TL;DR: The role of tunnel cations in governing the electrochemical properties of electrode materials is reported by focusing on potassium ions in α-MnO2, and the presence of cations inside 2 × 2 tunnels of manganese dioxide increases the electronic conductivity, and improves lithium ion diffusivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated-Temperature 3D Printing of Hybrid Solid-State Electrolyte for Li-Ion Batteries
Meng Cheng,Yizhou Jiang,Wentao Yao,Yifei Yuan,Yifei Yuan,Ramasubramonian Deivanayagam,Tara Foroozan,Zhennan Huang,Boao Song,Ramin Rojaee,Tolou Shokuhfar,Yayue Pan,Jun Lu,Reza Shahbazian-Yassar,Reza Shahbazian-Yassar +14 more
TL;DR: A novel method is demonstrated to fabricate hybrid solid-state electrolytes using an elevated-temperature direct ink writing technique without any additional processing steps, which will shed new light on the design of all-3D-printed batteries for next-generation electronic devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tip‐Enhanced Electric Field: A New Mechanism Promoting Mass Transfer in Oxygen Evolution Reactions
Peng Liu,Bo Chen,Caiwu Liang,Wentao Yao,Yuanzheng Cui,Shengyu Hu,Peichao Zou,Hua Zhang,Hong Jin Fan,Cheng Yang +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a fabricated NiFe nanocone array electrode, with optimized alloy composition, has a small overpotential of 190 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and 255 mV in the presence of high-curvature tips.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ordering Heterogeneity of [MnO6] Octahedra in Tunnel-Structured MnO2 and Its Influence on Ion Storage
Yifei Yuan,Yifei Yuan,Cong Liu,Bryan W. Byles,Wentao Yao,Boao Song,Meng Cheng,Zhennan Huang,Khalil Amine,Ekaterina Pomerantseva,Reza Shahbazian-Yassar,Jun Lu +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the existence of tunnel heterogeneity featuring localized tunnel intergrowths within single manganese dioxides (MnO2) nanoparticles via atomically resolved imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tuning Li2O2 Formation Routes by Facet Engineering of MnO2 Cathode Catalysts.
Wentao Yao,Yifei Yuan,Yifei Yuan,Guoqiang Tan,Cong Liu,Meng Cheng,Vitaliy Yurkiv,Xuanxuan Bi,Fei Long,Craig R. Friedrich,Farzad Mashayek,Khalil Amine,Khalil Amine,Jun Lu,Reza Shahbazian-Yassar,Reza Shahbazian-Yassar +15 more
TL;DR: Facet engineering of cathode catalysts could be a new way to tune the formation route of Li2O2 in a low-donor-number electrolyte and it is anticipated that this new finding would open more choices for the design of lithium-oxygen batteries with high capacities and ultimately long cycle life.
