Dr. Jijian Xu has contributed a chapter to the newly published book, “Corrosion and Degradation in Fuel Cells, Supercapacitors and Batteries,” which is now available online through Springer Nature. This publication reflects the ongoing efforts and dedication within the academic community to advance research in electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices.
About the Book
This book discusses critical research and development on various degradation types and their mitigation strategies in electrochemical energy storage and conversion (EESC) devices. These devices, including fuel cells, batteries, and supercapacitors, are essential for achieving carbon neutrality and a sustainable energy economy. This volume brings together the latest findings from the research literature, offering comprehensive insights into the long-term durability challenges faced by EESC devices due to corrosion and degradation. Additionally, it also helps address the current shortage of comprehensive book-length treatments on this critical topic.
Table of Contents (Selected)
The book is divided into over twenty chapters, covering a wide range of topics including:
- Introduction to Corrosion and Degradation in EESC Devices
- Corrosion Mechanisms in Fuel Cells
- Degradation Pathways in Supercapacitors
- CEI and SEI Formation in Li-Ion Batteries (Dr. Jijian Xu)
- Mitigation Strategies for Corrosion and Degradation
- Advances in Characterization and Modeling
- Future Directions in EESC Research
Chapter Contribution
Dr. Xu authored a chapter titled “CEI and SEI Formation in Li-Ion Batteries.” This chapter explores the critical role of the solid-electrolyte-interphase (SEI) and cathode-electrolyte-interphase (CEI) in enhancing the performance and longevity of lithium-ion batteries. It offers a historical and technical overview, beginning with electrolyte design strategies to regulate interfacial reactions and then tracing the inception and evolution of the SEI and CEI concepts. The chapter encompasses an in-depth analysis of SEI and CEI composition and formation, enriched by the latest advancements in characterization and modeling. Furthermore, it addresses the challenge of stability in high-capacity anodes and high-voltage cathodes, highlighting strategies for forming inorganic-rich interphases crucial for advancing lithium-ion battery technology.
