Solid State Li Ion Batteries Using Si Composite Anodes

Solid Power has teamed with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to develop an all solid-state lithium-ion battery (ASSB), enabled by a high-capacity Si anode and a solid state electrolyte (SSE). Replacing liquid electrolytes with solid electrolytes addresses the calendar life challenges that currently limit the widespread adoption of Si anodes. In this project, Si-SSE composite materials have been developed with a specific capacity >1500 mAh/g (at electrode level). A Si anode was coated by using a roll-to-roll process. All-solid-state NMC-Si pouch cells have been assembled and tested. Cycle life of 1100 at 100% DOD has been demonstrated in the solid state Si pouch cell. Excellent calendar life is achieved in the cell via a high temperature storage test.

Helical Covalent Polymers with Unidirectional Ion Channels as Single Lithium-Ion Conducting Electrolytes

Single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes have attracted great attention as safe alternatives to liquid electrolytes in high energy density lithium-ion batteries. Herein, we report the first example of a crystalline anionic helical polymer as a single lithium-ion conducting solid polymer electrolyte (SPE). Single-crystal X-ray analysis shows that the polymer folds into densely packed double helices, with bundles of unidirectional negatively charged channels formed that can facilitate lithium-ion transportation. Such a helical covalent polymer ( HCP) exhibits excellent room temperature lithium-ion conductivity (1.2 x 10 -3 S cm -1 ) in the absence of external lithium salts, a high transference number (0.84), low activation energy (0.14 eV), and a wide electrochemical stability window (0.2-5 V). We found that nonflammable, nonvolatile ionic liquid can serve as a solvating medium and excellent conductivity enhancer (>1000 times increase). These ion-conducting properties are comparable to the best polyethylene oxide-based polymer electrolytes mixed with lithium salts. Finally, we show that the solvated HCP SPE enables the reversible cycling of an all-solid-state cell prepared with a high-voltage NMC 811 cathode. Our study opens up new possibilities for developing next-generation high-performance solid-state electrolytes.
