Xueliang Sun Group: Lattice Distortion Mechanism and AI Simulation Facilitate Capacity Prediction of Disordered Rocksalt Cathodes

Cation-disordered rocksalt (DRX) cathode materials offer high capacity and a vast compositional design space, and can reduce dependence on scarce metals such as nickel and cobalt, making them important candidate materials for next-generation high-specific-energy lithium-ion batteries. However, identifying effective lithium-ion migration pathways within complex disordered structures and screening new compositions accordingly remains a difficulty in materials design. Traditional theory usually tre

Xueliang Sun Group | From Liquid to Solid: How Additive Engineering Resolves the Dilemma of Halide Electrolytes

Phones that die too soon, EVs that cant go far enough, energy-storage stations afraid of fire — behind these pain points lies the same goal: building safer, higher-capacity next-generation batteries. All-solid-state batteries, with their high safety and high energy density, are regarded as a key direction for next-generation energy-storage devices. Halide solid-state electrolytes combine high ionic conductivity with good cathode compatibility and have become a research hotspot in recent years; h

Scalable and Scalable and Highly Reliable! Wet Processing Breaks the Mass-Production Barrier for Halide All-Solid-State Batteries

Xueliang Sun, Chair Professor at Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo and Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Changhong Wang, Assistant Professor, and their team, in collaboration with Liwei Chen, Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, proposed a dual-solvent slurry preparation strategy based on supramolecular assembly and fabricated ultra-low binder content bilayer electrolyte films (LLBFs) with a room-temperature ionic conductivity of 1.26 mS/cm. Using this innovative

Bridging-Oxygen-Driven Ultrafast Amorphization Unblocks the Mass-Production Bottleneck for All-Solid-State Sodium-Ion Battery Electrolytes

All-solid-state sodium-ion batteries hold broad promises for applications such as electric vehicles and large-scale grid storage, owing to the abundant sodium resources, the absence of flammable liquid electrolytes, and their pronounced cost advantages. The solid electrolyte is the core material that determines the practical performance and industrial viability of these batteries, yet the prevailing mechanochemical ball-milling synthesis route faces a critical manufacturing pain point: preparing

80% Stress Reduction! Innovative Design Frees All-Solid-State Lithium–Sulfur Batteries from Reliance on High External Pressure

All-solid-state lithium–sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs), combining high theoretical energy density with intrinsic safety advantages, are regarded as a highly promising next-generation energy storage technology. In practical operation, however, they typically require external stack pressures of tens to even hundreds of megapascals to alleviate interfacial mismatch, contact loss and mechanochemical failure induced by electrode volume changes. This reliance on high pressure not only complicates engineer

Xueliang Sun and Changhong Wang's Team | Lithium Carbonate + Ammonium Thiocyanate Cracks the Cost Barrier for All‑Solid‑State Batteries

All‑solid‑state batteries are widely regarded as the ultimate next‑generation power source, and sulfide solid electrolytes (SSEs) have emerged as one of the most industrially promising routes owing to their ultra‑high ionic conductivity and excellent deformability. Yet a persistent bottleneck has blocked the industrialization of all‑solid‑state batteries — the core raw material of SSEs, lithium sulfide (Li₂S), is prohibitively expensive.
