    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a lithiophilic-supported current collector for an electrochemical cell that cycles lithium ions. The lithiophilic-supported current collector includes a current collector substrate and a lithiophilic material. The lithiophilic material includes an element selected from the group consisting of: indium, lead, bismuth, gold, and combinations thereof. In certain variations, the lithiophilic material defines a lithiophilic layer disposed on or adjacent to one or more surfaces of the current collector substrate. In other variations, the current collector substrate has one or more porous surfaces and the lithiophilic material coats the one or more porous surfaces.

    Abstract: A stackable battery module mounting system includes a side wall structure and a plurality of cross members extending between opposite sides of the side wall structure, the plurality of cross members each having a plurality of first spaced apertures. A plurality of battery modules each include a face plate on opposite sides thereof and each face plate includes a plurality of protruding sections which nest with protruding sections of the face plate of adjacent battery modules. At least some of the protruding sections include second apertures aligned with a respective one of the first spaced apertures of the plurality of cross members. A plurality of bolts are received in corresponding ones of the second apertures of the plurality of battery modules and the first spaced apertures in the plurality of cross members for securing the plurality of battery modules to the plurality of cross members.

    Abstract: A method for forming a prelithiated, layered anode material includes contacting an ionic compound and a lithium precursor in an environment having a temperature ranging from about 200° C. to about 900° C. The ionic compound is a three-dimensional layered material represented by MX2, where M is one of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) and X is one of silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), and boron (B). The lithium precursor is selected from the group consisting of: LiH, LiC, LiOH, LiCl, and combinations thereof. The contacting of the ionic compound and the lithium precursor in the environment causes removal of cations from the ionic compound to create openings in interlayer spaces or voids in the three-dimensional layered material thereby defining a two-dimensional layered material and also causes introduction of lithium ions from the lithium precursor into the interlayer spaces or voids to form the prelithiated, layered anode material.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for forming a layered anode material. The method includes contacting a precursor material and a first electrolyte. The precursor material is a layered ionic compound represented by MX2, where M is one of calcium and magnesium and X is one of silicon, germanium, and boron. The method further includes applying a first bias and/or current as the precursor material contacts the first electrolyte so as to remove cations from the precursor material to create a two-dimensional structure that defines the layered anode material. In certain variations, the method further include contacting the two-dimensional structure and a second electrolyte, and applying a second bias and/or current as the two-dimensional structure contacts the second electrolyte so as to cause lithium ions to move into interlayer spaces or voids created in the two-dimensional structure by the removal of the cations thereby forming the layered anode material.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a structural assembly including a frame and a plurality of panels. The frame includes a wall partially defining an interior region. The plurality of panels are disposed at least partially in the interior region and coupled to the frame. The plurality of panels includes a first panel and a second panel coupled to the first panel. The first panel includes a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface and the second surface cooperate to define a first corrugation extending in a first direction between the first side and the second side. The second panel includes a third surface defining a plurality of depressions and a fourth surface opposite the third surface defining a plurality of protrusions. The plurality of protrusions are complementary to the plurality of depressions.
