Designing Electrolytes With Controlled Solvation Structure for Fast‐Charging Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Recharging battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) in a similar timeframe as those used for refueling gas-powered internal combustion vehicles is highly desirable for rapid penetration of the EV market. It is well known that the electrolyte in a battery plays a critical role in fast-charging capability of the battery because it determines the rate of ion transport together with its derived electrode/electrolyte interphases on both cathode and anode of the battery. In this study, the effects of contents of salt, coordinating solvent, and noncoordinating diluent on salt dissociation degree and electrolyte ionic conductivity are investigated, and a controlled solvation structure electrolyte is developed to improve the lithium ion mobility and conductivity in the electrolyte and to enhance the kinetics and stability of the electrode/electrolyte interphases in the battery. This electrolyte enables fast-charging capability of high energy density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) at up to 5 C rate (12-min charging), which significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art electrolyte. The controlled solvation structure sheds light on the future electrolyte design for fast-charging LIBs.

Novel Low-Temperature Electrolyte Using Isoxazole as the Main Solvent for Lithium-Ion Batteries

A novel electrolyte system with an excellent low temperature performance for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been developed and studied. It was discovered for the first time, in this work, that when isoxazole (IZ) was used as the main solvent, the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte for LIBs is more than doubled in a temperature range between -20 and 20 °C compared to the baseline electrolyte using ethylene carbonate–ethyl methyl carbonate as solvents. To solve the problem of solvent cointercalation into the graphite anode and/or electrolyte decomposition, the lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) salt and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) additive were used to form a stable solid electrolyte interphase on the surface of the graphite anode. Benefitting from the high ionic conductivity at low temperature, cells using a new electrolyte with 1 M LiDFOB in FEC/IZ (1:10, vol %) solvents demonstrated a very high reversible capacity of 187.5 mAh g -1 at -20 °C, while the baseline electrolyte only delivered a reversible capacity of 23.1 mAh g -1 .

Mechanistic Study of Controlled Zinc Electrodeposition Behaviors Facilitated by Nanoscale Electrolyte Additives at the Electrode Interface

Nanoparticle organic hybrid materials (NOHMs) are liquid-like materials composed of an inorganic core to which a polymeric canopy is ionically tethered. NOHMs have unique properties including negligible vapor pressure, high oxidative thermal stability, and the ability to bind to reactive species of interest due to the tunability of their polymeric canopy. This makes them promising multifunctional materials for a wide range of energy and environmental technologies, including electrolyte additives for electrochemical energy storage (e.g., flow batteries) and the electrochemical conversion of CO 2 to chemicals and fuels. Due to their unique transport behaviors in fluid systems, an understanding of the near-electrode surface behavior of NOHMs in electrolyte solutions and their effect on electrochemical reactions is still lacking. In this work, the complexation of zinc (Zn) by NOHMs with an ionically tethered polyetheramine canopy (HPE) (NOHM-I-HPE) was studied using attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared and Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Additionally, various electrochemical techniques were employed to discern the role of NOHM-I-HPE during zinc electrodeposition, and the results were compared to those of the electrochemical system containing untethered HPE polymers. Our findings confirmed that NOHM-I-HPE and HPE reversibly complex zinc in the aqueous electrolyte. NOHM-I-HPE and HPE were found to block some of the electrode active sites, reducing the overall current density during electrodeposition, while facilitating the formation of smooth zinc deposits, as revealed by surface imaging and diffraction techniques. Observed variations in the current density responses and the degree of passivation created by the NOHM-I-HPE and HPE adsorbed on the electrode surface revealed that their different packing behaviors at the electrode–electrolyte interface influence the zinc deposition mechanism. The presence of the nanoparticle and ordering offered by the NOHMs as well as the structured conformation of the polymeric canopy allowed the formation of void spaces and free volumes for enhanced transport behaviors. Furthermore, these findings provided insights into how structured electrolyte additives such as NOHMs can allow for advancements in electrolyte design for controlled deposition of metal species from energy-dense electrolytes or for other electrochemical reactions.

Exploring the Promise of Multifunctional “Zintl-Phase-Forming” Electrolytes for Si-Based Full Cells

Li-M-Si ternary Zintl phases have gained attention recently due to their high structural stability, which can improve the cycling stability compared to a bulk Si electrode. Adding multivalent cation salts (such as Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ ) in the electrolyte was proven to be a simple way to form Li-M-Si ternary phases in situ in Si-based Li-ion cells. To explore the promise of Zintl-phaseforming electrolytes, we systematically investigated their application in pouch cells via electrochemical and multiscale postmortem analysis. The introduction of multivalent cations, such as Mg 2+ , during charging can form Li x M y Si ternary phases. They can stabilize Si anions and reduce side reactions with electrolyte, improving the bulk stability. More importantly, Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ incorporate into interfacial side reactions and generate inorganic-rich solid- electrolyte interphase, thus enhancing the interfacial stability. Therefore, the full cells with Zintl-phase-forming electrolytes achieve higher capacity retentions at the C/3 rate after 100 cycles, compared to a baseline electrolyte. Additionally, strategies for mitigating the electrode-level fractures of Si were evaluated to make the best use of Zintl-phase-forming electrolytes. In conclusion, this work highlights the significance of synergistic impact of multifunctional additives to stabilize both bulk and interface chemistry in high-energy Si anode materials for Li-ion batteries.

Membrane–Electrolyte System Approach to Understanding Ionic Conductivity and Crossover in Alkaline Flow Cells

Membrane transport properties are crucial for electrochemical devices, and these properties are influenced by the composition and concentration of the electrolyte in contact with the membrane. We apply this general membrane-electrolyte system approach to alkaline flow batteries, studying conductivity and ferricyanide crossover of Nafion and E-620. We report undetectable crossover for as-received Nafion and E-620 after both sodium and potassium exchange, but high ferricyanide permeability of 10 –7 to 10 –8 cm2 s –1 for Nafion subjected to pre-treatment prevalent in the flow battery literature. We show how the electrolyte mass fraction in hydrated membranes regulates the influence of ion concentration on membrane conductivity, identifying that increasing electrolyte concentration may not increase 1 membrane conductivity even when it increases electrolyte conductivity. To illustrate this behavior we introduce a new metric, the membrane penalty, as the ratio of the conductivity of the electrolyte to that of the membrane equilibrated with the electrolyte. We discuss the tradeoff between flow battery volumetric capacity and areal power density that arises from these findings. Finally, we apply insights from this approach to provide recommendations for use of membranes in alkaline flow cells, and electrochemical reactors in general.

Optimized Electrolyte with High Electrochemical Stability and Oxygen Solubility for Lithium–Oxygen and Lithium–Air Batteries

Lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries with high reversibility require a stable electrolyte against the side reactions with Li metal anode and reactive oxygen species. Moreover, an electrolyte which can effectively utilize the low partial pressure of oxygen in atmosphere has significance effect on the practical application lithium-air batteries. In this study, we developed a localized high concentration electrolyte (LHCE) using 1H,1H,5H-Octafluoropentyl 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether (OTE) as a diluent, which satisfies all these conditions at the same time. The OTE-based LHCE exhibits much improved electrochemical performances in Li-O2 batteries and Li-air batteries compared to the conventional electrolyte and high concentration electrolyte. The design principle of this novel electrolyte also provides an important guideline and reference for future researches of electrolytes in Li-O2 and Li-air batteries.

Effects of Plasticizer Content and Ceramic Addition on Electrochemical Properties of Cross-Linked Polymer Electrolyte

The development of a safe electrolyte is the key to improving energy density for next generation lithium batteries. In this work, UV-crosslinked poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) -based polymer and composite electrolytes are systematically investigated on their ionic conductivity, mechanical and electrochemical properties. The polymer electrolytes are plasticized with non-flammable linear short-chain PEO. In the composite electrolytes, a doped lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (LATP) ceramic, LICGC™, is used as the ceramic filler. It is found that the addition of the plasticizer leads to a tradeoff between ion transport and mechanical properties. In contrast, the addition of ceramic fillers improves both the ionic conductivity and mechanical properties. The sample with 20 wt% of LICGC™ shows a conductivity of ~0.6 mS cm –1 at 50 °C. This sample also demonstrates much longer cycle life than the neat polymer electrolyte in Li platting/stripping test with a capacity of 1 mAh cm –2 . Further, a full cell made with this composite electrolyte against Li metal anode and high voltage LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 O 2 cathode shows 94% capacity retention after 30 cycles, compared to 58% capacity retention with the neat polymer electrolyte. These results demonstrate that a hybrid of polymer/ceramic/non-flammable plasticizer is a promising path to high energy density, high voltage lithium batteries.

Designing Moderately‐Solvating Electrolytes for High‐Performance Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

New electrolytes are critical for high‐energy lithium (Li)–sulfur (S) batteries (LSBs) to ensure their stability against Li metal anode and polysulfides (PSs) shuttling which hinder the large‐scale application of LSBs. In this study, the design principle of moderately solvating electrolytes (MSEs) for LSBs is demonstrated by using a multiple‐solvent system comprising of a highly solvating solvent, a weakly solvating solvent, and a non‐solvating solvent to create a well‐balanced electrolyte system. This resulting electrolyte significantly improves the cycle life of LSBs, achieving 300 cycles, which is twice as long as that of similar cells with the conventional electrolyte and it also ensures stable calendar life for at least seven months. The optimal MSE forms robust passivation layers enhancing the structural integrity of both S and Li metal electrodes after cycling. These virtues effectively hinder parasitic side reactions and self‐discharge behavior of LSBs. This electrolyte design principle is versatile and can be applied to other battery chemistries, providing a potential path toward the development of a more efficient and stable battery system. By addressing key challenges such as the instability of electrodes and shuttling of polysulfides, this electrolyte approach offers promising solutions for advancing LSB technology.

Recent Progress in High Donor Electrolytes for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries continue to be considered promising post-lithium-ion batteries owing to their high theoretical energy density. In pursuit of a Li–S cell with long-term cyclability, most studies thus far have relied on using ether-based electrolytes. However, their limited ability to dissolve polysulfides requires a high electrolyte-to-sulfur ratio, which impairs the achievable specific energy. Recently, the battery community found high donor electrolytes to be a potential solution to this shortcoming because their high solubility toward polysulfides enables a cell to operate under lean electrolyte conditions. Despite the increasing number of promising outcomes with high donor electrolytes, a critical hurdle related to stability of the lithium-metal counter electrode needs to be overcome. This review provides an overview of recent efforts pertaining to high donor electrolytes in Li–S batteries and is intended to raise interest from within the community. Furthermore, based on analogous efforts in the lithium-air battery field, strategies for protecting the lithium metal electrode are proposed. In this review, it is predicted that high donor electrolytes will be elevated to a higher status in the field of Li–S batteries, with the hope that either existing or upcoming strategies will, to a fair extent, mitigate the degradation of the lithium–metal interface.

Making Plasticized Polymer Electrolytes Stable Against Sodium Metal for High‐Energy Solid‐State Sodium Batteries

Solid polymer electrolytes based on plastic crystals are promising for solid-state sodium metal (Na 0 ) batteries, yet their practicality has been hindered by the notorious Na 0 -electrolyte interface instability issue, the underlying cause of which remains poorly understood. Here, in this study, by leveraging a model plasticized polymer electrolyte based on conventional succinonitrile plastic crystals, we uncover its failure origin in Na 0 batteries is associated with the formation of a thick and non-uniform solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and whiskery Na 0 nucleation/growth. Furthermore, we design a new additive-embedded plasticized polymer electrolyte to manipulate the Na 0 deposition and SEI formulation. For the first time, we demonstrate that introducing fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) additive into the succinonitrile-plasticized polymer electrolyte can effectively protect Na 0 against interfacial corrosion by facilitating the growth of dome-like Na 0 with thin, amorphous, and fluorine-rich SEIs, thus enabling significantly improved performances of Na//Na symmetric cells (1,800 h at 0.5 mA cm −2 ) and Na//Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 full cells (93.0 % capacity retention after 1,200 cycles at 1 C rate in coin cells and 93.1 % capacity retention after 250 cycles at C/3 in pouch cells at room temperature). Our work provides valuable insights into the interfacial failure of plasticized polymer electrolytes and offers a promising solution to resolving the interfacial instability issue.

On electrolyte wetting through lithium-ion battery separators

The wettability by electrolyte is a critical characteristic of lithium-ion battery separators since electrolyte absorption is essential for ionic transport. Most importantly, fast absorption of electrolyte facilitates the electrolyte filling and wetting processes during the battery assembly. However, theoretical or experimental investigation of separator wettability has rarely been reported, and thus very little quantitative data can be found in the existing literature. Here, innovative experimental techniques and associated analytical models have been developed to fully characterize the electrolyte wetting behavior through battery separators. Both in-plane and through-plane imbibition processes are investigated. The results show that, electrolyte needs significantly longer time to wet separators than it does for commercial electrodes. The wetting rate depends significantly on the pore size, porosity, and micro-structure of the separators. Electrolyte in-plane wetting is only observed in the separators manufactured by the wet process. Increasing separator porosity and pore size is shown to be substantially increasing through-plane wetting rate. In addition, ceramic coating is shown to increase in-plane wetting but retard through-plane wetting.

Development of cathode-electrolyte-interphase for safer lithium batteries

Accompanied by the adoption of aggressive cathodes to continuously improve batteries energy density, enhancing their safety is becoming increasingly urgent for the electric vehicle development. In-situ controllable formation of robust cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) with high inorganic content seems to be the most promising strategy to address the thermal runaway concerns. Moreover, the in-situ formation strategy via suitable electrolyte replacement or electrolyte additives is extremely simple yet effective, especially for industrial manufacture of batteries. Here, this paper briefly reviews recent advanced CEIs formed by conventional carbonate-based electrolytes, fluorinated electrolytes, concentrated electrolytes, and solid state electrolytes. The focus on the thermal stability of the cathodes after CEI modification, and at the same time conduct safety tests at the material, cell, and module levels for comprehensive evaluation are encouraged. The review will provide inspiration for future developments in battery safety and push forward the practical applications of newly developed high-energy density batteries.

Solid-state interphases design for high-safety, high-voltage and long-cyclability practical batteries via ethylene carbonate-free electrolytes

In this study, ethylene carbonate (EC) plays a crucial role in current electrolytes for batteries. However, EC reacts exothermically with the electrode to trigger thermal runaway and undergoes continuous oxidative decomposition at high voltages, hindering it application for next-generation batteries. Here we report a simple and effective strategy to design sulfolane(SL)-based electrolyte with reshaped anions-dominated solvation structure, forming highly stable inorganic-dominated electrode-electrolyte interphases that efficiently stabilize nickel-rich cathode and graphite anode. Compared with the conventional electrolyte, practical pouch-type LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 |Graphite cell with SL-based electrolyte significantly improve self-generated heat T 1 and thermal runaway triggering T 2 by 9.6 and 42.0 °C, respectively. More surprisingly, the pouch cell with SL-based electrolyte exhibits outstanding capacity retention of 88 % after 1000 cycles charged up to 4.5 V. The study brings new insights for unlocking advanced electrolyte candidates to build next-generation practical safer high-energy batteries.

Deep eutectic solvent-based polymer electrolyte for solid-state lithium metal batteries

Poly(ethylene) oxide (PEO)-based electrolytes have been widely studied for solid-state lithium batteries while their ionic conductivity and lithium-ion transference number still need to be further improved. Herein, using the combined experimental and theoretical approach, we demonstrate a novel, solid-state PEO-deep eutectic solvent (DES) electrolyte for the first time. We found that the in situ formation of DES can reduce the crystallinity of PEO matrix and more Li + ions can move freely owing to the weakened coordination between ether oxygens and Li-ions. Besides, we show that more Li + ions can be dissociated from Li salts in PEO-DES electrolyte using the molecular dynamics simulations. Such liquid-free PEO-DES electrolytes showed good ionic conductivity (2.1 × 10 −4 S cm −1 ) which is 160% higher than that of conventional PEO-LiTFSI (8.1 × 10 −5 S cm −1 ) electrolyte at 60 °C. Additionally, the PEO-DES electrolyte showed 136% increase of Li-ion transference number (0.33) compared with ionic liquid-doped PEO-LiTFSI (0.14) at 60 °C. Moreover, the PEO-DES exhibited good compatibility with Li metal and stable Li plating/stripping behavior with little morphology change of Li metal. In conclusion, this research also provides new insights into the enhancement mechanisms of novel polymer electrolytes, improving our fundamental understanding of critical challenges that have impeded the adoption of solid-state lithium metal batteries.

Unveiling decaying mechanism through quantitative structure-activity relationship in electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries

Understanding the decaying mechanism in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is critical to establishing a stable electrolyte system. Despite the advent of various novel electrolyte solvents designated for high-voltage LIBs, their working principles are not fully understood. Currently, oxidative decomposition of electrolytes is believed to be the major cause of capacity fade, and tremendous effort has been devoted to discovering a new electrolyte with enhanced anodic stability. However, the oxidative decomposition process cannot solely explain the rapid decay of some electrolyte systems with intrinsic high anodic stability when used with a high-nickel layered oxide cathode such as LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 O 2 (NMC622). In this report, a study of the quantitative structure-activity relationship was conducted to deepen the mechanistic understanding of the decay in high-voltage LIBs. Here, the results obtained from the newly introduced molecular pair analysis and linear free-energy relationship (LFER) studies were highly consistent with the solvation-involved decaying mechanism in a high-nickel layered oxide cathode cycling at high voltage (> 4.5 V vs. Li/Li + ). There was no evidence correlating the solvation ability of electrolyte solvents with the decay of a high-nickel layered oxide cathode cycling at a relatively low voltage (< 4.3 V vs. Li/Li + ), nor with the high-voltage spinel cathode LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 (LNMO). Undoubtedly, the unveiled mechanistic insight provides a critical guideline for the development of an appropriate electrolyte system targeting different high-voltage cathode materials.

Asymmetric Composition of Ionic Aggregates and the Origin of High Correlated Transference Number in Water-in-Salt Electrolytes

"Water-in-salt" electrolytes open up exciting new avenues for expanding the electrochemical window of aqueous electrolytes. We investigated the solvation structure and dynamics of highly concentrated lithium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide aqueous electrolyte using experimentally corroborated molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations revealed that the heterogeneous structure of the electrolyte comprises percolating networks of ion and water domains/aggregates. Interestingly, the ionic regions are composed of more TFSI - ions than Li + ions. The Li + -ion transport mechanism was further explored. Li + ions can hop along the coordinated TFSI- ions in the ionic aggregates. The calculated correlated transference number of the 20 m electrolyte is similar to 0.32, which is reasonably high for the high concentration due to a weak negative correlation between the motion of cations and anions within the heterogeneous microscopic domains. These molecular dynamics results connect the heterogeneous structure of the electrolyte to the correlated dynamics of the Li + ion and provide a new understanding of the Li + -ion transport mechanism in this novel electrolyte.

Molten Sodium Penetration in NaSICON Electrolytes at 0.1 A cm –2

High-conductivity solid electrolytes, such as the Na superionic conductor, NaSICON, are poised to play an increasingly important role in safe, reliable battery-based energy storage, enabling advanced sodium-based batteries. Coupled demands of increased current density (≥0.1 A cm –2 ) and low-temperature (<200 °C) operation, combined with increased discharge times for long-duration storage (>12 h), challenge the limitations of solid electrolytes. Here, we explore the penetration of molten sodium into NaSICON at high current densities. Previous studies of β"-alumina proposed that Poiseuille pressure-driven cracking (mode I) and recombination of ions and electrons within the solid electrolyte (mode II) are the two main mechanisms for Na penetration, but a comprehensive study of Na penetration in NaSICON is necessary, particularly at high current density. To further understand these modes, this work employs unidirectional galvanostatic testing of Na|NaSICON|Na symmetric cells at 0.1 A cm –2 over 23 h at 110 °C. Further, while galvanostatic testing shows a relatively constant yet increasingly noisy voltage profile, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) reveals a significant decrease in cell impedance correlated with significant sodium penetration, as observed in scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Further SEM analysis of sodium accumulation within NaSICON suggests that mode II failure may be far more prevalent than previously considered. Further, these findings suggest that total (dis)charge density (mAh cm –2 ), as opposed to current density (mA cm –2 ), may be a more critical parameter when examining solid electrolyte failure, highlighting the challenge of achieving long discharge times in batteries using solid electrolytes. Together, these results provide a better understanding of the limitations of NaSICON solid electrolytes under high current and emphasize the need for improved electrode–electrolyte interfaces.

Complementary Electrolyte Design for Li Metal Batteries in Electric Vehicle Applications

In this report a complementary electrolyte system with 0.8 M lithium bis(fluorosulfonylimide) (LiFSI) salt and 2 wt % lithium perchlorate (LiCLO4) additive in fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC)/ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) solution enables not only stable cycling of lithium metal batteries (LMBs) with practical loading (<30 μm lithium anode, cathode loading > 4 mAh/cm 2 ) but also outstanding degradation stability toward the end of cycle life when compared to the conventional electrolyte. Although the use of LiFSI salt can increase the electrolyte conductivity and lengthen the cycle life of LMBs, the aged lithium anode morphology formed by the sacrificial decomposition of LiFSI is highly porous, leading to an abrupt cell capacity drop toward the end of cycling. Moreover, the inability to stop aluminum corrosion by the LiFSI-based electrolyte also causes cracking of the cathode tab during prolonged cycling. It is observed that a highly porous aged lithium consumed electrolyte at a higher rate, leading to the dry-out of electrolyte solvents. On the contrary, dense aged lithium anode morphology increased the localized current applied on the lithium, causing the formation of lithium dendrite. Thus, porosity control is the key to enhance battery performance. In this complementary system, LiClO 4 was introduced as an advanced additive to not only improve the capacity retention rate but also mitigate the abrupt capacity drop toward the end of cycle life because LiClO 4 acted as a pore astringent reducing the porosity of the aged lithium metal anode to the desired level. Moreover, the addition of LiClO 4 can also suppress the AI corrosion, allowing stable high-voltage cycling of LMBs. The synergistic effect of combining LiFSI salt and a LiClO 4 additive leads to an electrolyte system that can facilitate the application of high-energy LMBs with practical electrode loading.
