The Impact of Different Substituents in Fluorinated Cyclic Carbonates in the Performance of High Voltage Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolyte

Ethylene carbonate (EC) has been used as the Solid-Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) former in the conventional electrolyte for decades. However, its low anodic stability leads to severe capacity decay during cycling under high voltage operation. Therefore, finding a viable electrolyte with high anodic stability and the ability to form robust SEI for high voltage lithium-ion batteries is of primary importance. In this study, a series of electrolytes containing various fluorinated cyclic carbonates as the SEI former have been designed, synthesized and evaluated. Linear sweep voltammetry study suggested that fluorinated cyclic carbonates generally possess higher anodic stability than EC. Based on the cycling performance of LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 (NMC532)/ graphite full cells, the electrolyte with DFEC/FEMC (1.0 M LiPF 6 ) inhibited the oxidation side reaction on the cathode and forms a vigorous SEI on the anode. The high voltage NMC532/Graphite cell utilizing the novel electrolyte exhibits excellent cycling durability under both room and elevated temperature. The superior performance of the DFEC based electrolyte was further unveiled by SEM, EDAX and XRD. Both the anode and cathode of the full cell employing DFEC based electrolyte retained their intrinsic structures after cycling while the electrodes cycled in conventional electrolyte showed severe degradation.

Enhanced neurite outgrowth on electrically conductive carbon aerogel substrates in the presence of an external electric field

Previous works from our laboratory have firmly established that aerogels are a suitable substrate to elicit accelerated neurite extension. On non-conducting aerogels, in the presence of an externally-applied DC bias, neurons extended neurites which were preferentially aligned towards the anode. In this work, we sought to determine whether electrically-conductive carbon aerogels elicited a more robust alignment of neurites toward the anode than non-conductive aerogels due to the capacity of conductive aerogels to sustain a current, thereby providing a direct interface between neurons and the external electrical stimulus. To determine if this was the case, we plated PC12 neuronal cells on electrically conductive carbon aerolges derived from acetic acid-catalized resorcinol formaldehyde aerogels (ARF-CA) and subjected them to an external electric field. The voltages applied at the electrodes of the custom-built electro-stimulation chamber were 0 V, 15 V, and 30 V. For each voltage, the directionality and length of the neurites extended by PC12 cells were determined and compared to those observed when PC12 cells were plated on non-conductive aerogels subjected to the same voltage. The results show that the directionality of neurite extension was similar between conductive and non-conductive aerogels. A higher neurite length difference was observed on conductive aerogels with increasing voltage, 43% and 106% for 0–15 V and 0–30 V respectively, compared to non-conductive aerogels, 12% and 20%. These findings indicate that conductive carbon aerogels have a greater potential as scaffolds for nerve regeneration than non-conductive ones.

An Inorganic‐Rich Solid Electrolyte Interphase for Advanced Lithium‐Metal Batteries in Carbonate Electrolytes

Abstract In carbonate electrolytes, the organic–inorganic solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed on the Li‐metal anode surface is strongly bonded to Li and experiences the same volume change as Li, thus it undergoes continuous cracking/reformation during plating/stripping cycles. Here, an inorganic‐rich SEI is designed on a Li‐metal surface to reduce its bonding energy with Li metal by dissolving 4 m concentrated LiNO 3 in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as an additive for a fluoroethylene‐carbonate (FEC)‐based electrolyte. Due to the aggregate structure of NO 3 − ions and their participation in the primary Li + solvation sheath, abundant Li 2 O, Li 3 N, and LiN x O y grains are formed in the resulting SEI, in addition to the uniform LiF distribution from the reduction of PF 6 − ions. The weak bonding of the SEI (high interface energy) to Li can effectively promote Li diffusion along the SEI/Li interface and prevent Li dendrite penetration into the SEI. As a result, our designed carbonate electrolyte enables a Li anode to achieve a high Li plating/stripping Coulombic efficiency of 99.55 % (1 mA cm −2 , 1.0 mAh cm −2 ) and the electrolyte also enables a Li||LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NMC811) full cell (2.5 mAh cm −2 ) to retain 75 % of its initial capacity after 200 cycles with an outstanding CE of 99.83 %.

Simulation of metal nanoparticles growth in methane atmosphere of arc discharge: comparison to experiment

A direct current arc discharge in a methane atmosphere is a scalable and sustainable method to produce metal-carbon core–shell nanoparticles and single-walled carbon nanotubes, where a metal catalyst can be continuously supplied through evaporation of an anode made from the catalyst material. The size of catalyst particles is of critical importance as it can affect the synthesis yield and properties of nanotubes and core–shell nanoparticles. This study presents a numerical model describing the formation and growth of metal particles for the conditions representative of the arc discharge with an evaporating iron anode at near-atmospheric pressure of a methane-rich atmosphere. The model incorporates carbon adsorption to the metal surface and explains the limiting effect of carbon coverage on the size of metal nanoparticles. The predicted particle sizes are compared with experimental observations. The model also predicts higher concentrations of metal particles with the increasing partial pressure of methane.

Composite Lithium Metal Structure to Mitigate Pulverization and Enable Long‐Life Batteries

In lithium metal batteries, non‐uniform stripping of lithium results in pit formation, which promotes subsequent non‐uniform, dendritic deposition. This viscous cycle leads to pulverization of lithium which promotes cell shorting or capacity degradation, symptoms further exaggerated by high electrode areal loading and lean electrolytes. Here, to address this challenge, a composite lithium metal anode is engineered that contains uniformly distributed, nanometer‐sized carbon particles. This composite lithium is shown to strip more uniformly since the growth of non‐uniform pits is intercepted by the carbon particles. This mechanism is corroborated by a continuum electrochemical model. Subsequent lithium deposition on carbon particles is also found to be more uniform than on the surface with irregular pits. Notably, the pulverization rate of composite lithium is 26 times slower than that of commercial lithium. Moreover, in a Li‐S battery with sulfurized polyacrylonitrile cathode, the use of the composite anode extends the cycle life by three times when the areal capacity is 8 mAh cm −2 . The approach of using an engineered lithium composite structure to address challenges during both stripping and plating can inform future designs of lithium metal anodes for high areal capacity operations.

An Inorganic-Rich Solid Electrolyte Interphase for Advanced Lithium-Metal Batteries in Carbonate Electrolytes

In carbonate electrolytes, the organic-inorganic solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed on the lithium (Li) metal anode surface is strongly bonded to Li and experiences the same volume change as Li, thus it undergoes continuous cracking/reformation during plating/stripping cycles. Here we report, an inorganic-rich SEI is designed on a Li metal surface to reduce its bonding energy with Li metal by dissolving 4 M concentrated LiNO 3 in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as an additive for a fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) based electrolyte. Due to the aggregate structure of NO 3 - ions and its participation in the primary Li + solvation sheath, abundant Li 2 O, Li 3 N, and LiN x O y grains are formed in the resulting SEI, in addition to the uniform LiF distribution from the reduction of PF 6 - ions. The inorganic-rich SEI’s weak bonding (high interface energy) to Li can effectively promote Li diffusion along the SEI/Li interface and prevent Li dendrite penetration into the SEI. As a result, our designed carbonate electrolyte enables a Li anode to achieve a high Li plating/stripping CE of 99.55% (1 mA cm -2 , 1.0 mAh cm -2 ) and the electrolyte also enables a Li||LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NMC811) full cell (2.5 mAh cm -2 ) to retain 75%of its initial capacity after 200 cycles with an outstanding CE of 99.83%.

Evaluating temperature dependent degradation mechanisms of silicon-graphite electrodes and the effect of fluoroethylene carbonate electrolyte additive

Understanding and overcoming the relatively high rate of degradation observed with silicon (Si)-based anodes in lithium (Li)-ion batteries (LiBs) is crucial for developing cells with increased energy density. The capacity fade of Si-graphite (Gr) electrodes in electrolytes with and without 10 wt% fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) is explored during cycling at temperatures of 25, 45, and 70 °C, focusing on the complex degradation modes arising from loss of active material, loss of Li inventory, and cell resistance growth. We first show the common half-cell testing cannot be used at elevated temperatures as the performance of Li metal overshadows the behavior of Si-Gr electrode. Symmetric cell configuration successfully eliminates the effect of foreign materials, and reveals that while the presence of FEC provides better passivation of Si, it also results in greater parasitic reactions at 70 °C and faster capacity fade. The electrolyte without FEC, on the other hand, shows higher capacity retention at 70 °C. Finally, we propose a multi-step test protocol which can successfully deconvolute the information on loss of Li inventory and of active material. By combining half-cell and symmetric cell test methods, we demonstrate that loss of active material is reduced at higher temperatures and the dominant mechanisms of capacity loss for Si-Gr electrodes at elevated temperatures is loss of Li inventory.

Binder-Free Graphite Anodes for Next-Generation High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

High-energy density anodes are crucial for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) particularly for electric vehicle (EV) applications. Sluggish lithium-diffusion kinetics coupled with conventional anode fabrication processes containing polymeric binders hinder fast-charging capabilities and high-energy density of graphite. Herein, we introduce a binder-free graphite anode fabrication strategy using the electrospinning technique that contains ~2.41% carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Our strategy relies on the formation of an interconnecting conductive CNT network coupled with an ultrathin N-doped carbon coating on graphite particles from sacrificial binders. This combination enhances both structural integrity and electrical conductivity and, in turn, improves fast-charging capabilities and high energy density of LIBs. The binder-free graphite anode achieves ~335.0 mAh g–1 capacity at C/3 rate over 400 cycles with capacity retention of >95% and average Coulombic efficiencies >99.95%. These promising results suggest that the binder-free anode fabrication with a multifunctional design approach could elevate the energy-density limits of the graphite anodes, solving high-energy density requirements of EVs, and potentially provides a path forward for the development of economically feasible energy storage systems for various applications.

Boosting the sodium storage behaviors of carbon materials in ether-based electrolyte through the artificial manipulation of microstructure

The porous carbon blacks rationally designed by a facile yet efficient NH 3 thermal etching route have been investigated as anode materials in an ether-based electrolyte for sodium-ion batteries. The as-synthesized CBN35 carbon black with a 35% weight loss after NH3 thermal etching exhibited a large specific charge capacity of 352 mAh g -1 at 50 mA g -1 and a superior rate capability of 101 mAh g -1 at 16000 mA g -1 , due to its highest microporosity, an appropriate surface area, a desirable microstructure, and a promising hybrid intercalation mechanism. Impressively, even cycled at 1600 mA g -1 over 3200 cycles, an outstanding reversible capacity of 103 mAh g -1 with a negligible 0.0162% capacity loss per cycle can still be achieved. Based on the multimodal characterizations including the structural probes of phase evolution for carbon materials, the electrochemical techniques, and the surface-sensitive XAS measurements, the exceptional electrochemical properties should stem from several merits of modified carbon black system. While the particular microporous structure provides relatively more accessible sodium storage sites, a novel hybrid intercalation mechanism in ether-based electrolyte would incorporate the sodium ion insertion into the disordered structure with the solvated sodium ion species co-intercalation into the graphitic phase. In addition to the diffusion-controlled redox reactions, the noticeable surface-induced pseudocapacitive reactions also significantly contribute to the charge storage upon sodiation and guarantee the rapid migrations of sodium ions/solvated compounds. In conclusion, this system further features a controlled emergence of a robust but thin solid electrolyte interphase layer, which could suppress the side reactions of active electrode with reactive electrolyte, maintain the fragile porous structure upon cycling, and facilitate the migrations of sodium ions and solvated sodium ion compounds.

Dual 3D Ceramic Textile Electrodes: Fast Kinetics for Carbon Oxidation Reaction and Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Direct Carbon Fuel Cells at Reduced Temperatures

Abstract Direct carbon fuel cells (DCFCs) are an efficient energy‐conversion technology capable of generating electricity with carbon‐dioxide‐capture chemistry with solid carbon as fuels. The efficiency and performance of DCFCs depend on the kinetics of the carbon oxidation reactions (COR) and the oxygen reduction reactions (ORR), each occurring at anode and cathode, respectively. The limited active sites paired with reduced temperatures greatly decrease the efficiency of the electrochemical reactions. Ultraporous dual‐3D ceramic textiles (dual‐3DCT) are integrated into electrolyte‐supported DCFCs to enhance charge and mass transfer at the electrodes. Improved COR at the anode is achieved by the synergy between the 3DCT NiO–Ce 0.8 Gd 0.2 O 1.95 (GDC) structure and optimal carbon fuel choice. In a comparative study, DCFCs using graphitic carbon (GC) as fuel show the best COR performance when compared to DCFCs utilizing alternative fuels such as carbon black (CB) and activated carbon (AC). The 3DCT Sm 0.5 Sr 0.5 CoO 3‐δ –GDC (SSC–GDC) composite cathode shows electrochemical performance superior to that of the conventional screen‐printed SSC–GDC. A peak power density of 392 mW cm −2 at 600 °C is obtained in a DCFC using the 3DCT‐anode/electrolyte/3DCT‐cathode configuration, an unprecedented value for any reported DCFC as of yet. This points toward promising applications of dual‐3DCT electrodes for reduced‐temperature DCFCs.

Understanding the Chemomechanical Function of the Silver–Carbon Interlayer in Sheet-type All-Solid-State Lithium–Metal Batteries

All-solid-state batteries with lithium metal anodes hold great potential for high-energy battery applications. However, forming and maintaining stable solid–solid contact between the lithium anode and solid electrolyte remains a major challenge. One promising solution is the use of a silver–carbon (Ag–C) interlayer, but its chemomechanical properties and impact on interface stabilities need to be comprehensively explored. Here, we examine the function of Ag–C interlayers in addressing interfacial challenges using various cell configurations. Experiments show that the interlayer improves interfacial mechanical contact, leading to a uniform current distribution and suppressing lithium dendrite growth. Furthermore, the interlayer regulates lithium deposition in the presence of Ag particles via improved Li diffusivity. The sheet-type cells with the interlayer achieve a high energy density of 514.3 Wh L –1 and an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.97% over 500 cycles. Furthermore, this work provides insights into the benefits of using Ag–C interlayers for enhancing the performance of all-solid-state batteries.

Solvation-protection-enabled high-voltage electrolyte for lithium metal batteries

To facilitate the practical application of lithium metal batteries (LMBs), stable interfaces between the electrolyte and the lithium metal must be achieved. Herein, we introduce a solvation protection strategy for designing a functional electrolyte for high-voltage LMBs. Fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) was introduced as a solvation protection solvent for the difluoroethylene carbonate (DFEC)/trifluoroethyl methyl carbonate (FEMC) electrolyte system to enable the cycling of lithium metal anode. The addition of FEC alters the structures of lithium complexes in solution because of its relatively high solvating power. Through the precise control of the solvation number (> 1) of fluorinated cyclic carbonate (i.e., FEC:DFEC > critical ratio), lithium complexes with Li + solvated solely by FEMC, which decompose on the lithium surface to form detrimental by-products, can be effectively eliminated. Here, the new ternary FEC/DFEC/FEMC system not only maintains the beneficial effect of DFEC in forming a robust solid-electrolyte interphase on the lithium anode, but also confers outstanding anodic stability provided by FEMC, while eliminating detrimental FEMC decomposition through the solvation protection effect of FEC. Clearly, this ternary system outperforms the FEC/FEMC and DFEC/FEMC binary systems in facilitating the stable cycling of LMBs.

Molecular dynamics study on the interfacial properties of mixtures of monomers of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-based battery binders on graphene and graphite surfaces

This study investigates the behavior of two different mixtures of monomers of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-based battery binders, polyvinylpyrrolidone:polyvinylidene difluoride (PVP:PVDF) and polyvinylpyrrolidone:polyacrylic acid (PVP:PAA), at graphene and graphite interfaces using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The aim is to identify the best performing monomer binder blend and carbon-based material for the design of battery-optimized energy devices. The PVP:PAA monomer binder blend and graphite are found to have the best interaction energies, densification upon adsorption, and more ordered structure. The adsorption of both monomer binder blends is strongly guided by the higher affinity of PVP and PAA monomeric molecules for the surfaces compared to PVDF. The structure of adsorbed layers of PVP:PVDF monomer binder blend on graphene and graphite develops more quickly than PVP:PAA, indicating faster kinetics. This study complements a previous density functional theory study recently reported by our group and contributes to a better understanding of the nanoscopic features of relevant interfacial regions involving mixtures of monomers of PVP-based battery binders and different carbon-based materials. In conclusion, the effect of a blend of commonly used monomer binders on carbon-based materials is essential for obtaining tightly bound anode and cathode active materials in lithium-ion batteries, which is crucial for designing battery-optimized energy devices.

Flash Recycling of Graphite Anodes

The ever-increasing production of commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) will result in a staggering accumulation of waste when they reach their end of life. A closed-loop solution, with effective recycling of spent LIBs, will lessen both the environmental impacts and economic cost of their use. Presently, <5% of spent LIBs are recycled and the regeneration of graphite anodes has, unfortunately, been mostly overlooked despite the considerable cost of battery-grade graphite. Here, in this work, an ultrafast flash recycling method to regenerate the graphite anode is developed and valuable battery metal resources are recovered. Selective Joule heating is applied for only seconds to efficiently decompose the resistive impurities. The generated inorganic salts, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese, can be easily recollected from the flashed anode waste using diluted acid, specifically 0.1 M HCl. The flash-recycled anode preserves the graphite structure and is coated with a solid-electrolyte-interphase-derived carbon shell, contributing to high initial specific capacity, superior rate performance, and cycling stability, when compared to anode materials recycled using a high-temperature-calcination method. Life-cycle-analysis relative to current graphite production and recycling methods indicate that flash recycling can significantly reduce the total energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission while turning anode recycling into an economically advantageous process.

Advanced electrolytes for fast-charging high-voltage lithium-ion batteries in wide-temperature range

LiNixMnyCo1-x-yO2 (NMC) cathode materials with Ni=0.8 have attracted great interest for application in high energy-density lithium (Li)-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their high specific capacities at high voltages. However, the practical application of Ni-rich NMC in LIBs under high charge voltages (e.g. 4.4 V and above) still faces big challenges due to the severe capacity fading, which is directly related to the instability of the cathode/electrolyte interface. In this work, we develop new localized high-concentration electrolytes (LHCEs) based on carbonate solvents, which are compatible with graphite (Gr) anode and have a high oxidation potential over 4.9 V vs. Li/Li+. The optimal LHCE enables the Gr||NMC811 cells with 2.8 mAh cm-2 cathode areal capacity loading to achieve an excellent cycling stability over 600 cycles with a capacity retention of 94.2 % under a charge cut-off voltage of 4.4 V at 25 ?C, good rate capabilities under fast charging or discharging up to 3C rate, and superior low-temperature discharge performance down to -30 ?C with a capacity retention of 85.6% at C/5 rate. The findings in this work shed light a very promising strategy to develop new electrolytes for practical high-energy LIBs with Ni-rich NMC cathodes.

Modified bornite materials with high electrochemical performance for sodium and lithium storage

Mineral-based functional materials have attracted enormous attention due to the advantages of high production, good material consistency, environmental friendliness, and low cost. However, the efficient utilization of natural minerals for high-performance energy storage is rarely reported. Here, we demonstrate a mineral-derived anode material Cu 5 FeS 4 coated with carbon for both sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries. The findings show that ball milling bornite in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone followed by optimal-temperature carbonization results in S, N-codoped Cu 5 FeS 4 particles with the desired surface properties, enhanced electronic conductivity, and abundant active sites that deliver high reversible capacity and maintain superior long-term cycling performance at a high current density of 2.0 A g –1 . This work sheds light on potential energy storage use cases for naturally abundant mineral-based materials.

Rational designs to enable 10-min fast charging and long cycle life in lithium-ion batteries

A daunting challenge in the design of lithium ion batteries (LiBs) is enabling 10-min extreme fast charging (XFC) while achieving appreciable charge acceptance and cycle life. This desirable outcome requires both a comprehensive understanding of LiB operation and aging behavior at different length scales and careful optimization. Lithium plating has been a critical bottleneck because, at XFC rates, it consumes cyclable lithium causing distinct aging and safety concerns even in moderate-loading LiBs. Here, we propose combining multiple solutions, including materials-to-electrode design-to-charging protocols, that are intended to overcome limitations in lithium-ion transport in the electrolyte phase, thus enabling 10-min XFC in LiBs. Some implemented strategies include cathode chemistry, optimized carbon binder domain in the cathode, dual layer anode design, improved separator and advanced electrolyte. Further, innovative charging protocols in moderately loading (~3 mAh/cm 2 anode/2.7 mAh/cm 2 cathode) single-layer pouch cells are proposed, together with demonstrated 10-min XFC with higher charge acceptance between 87.3 and 92.1% (or 2–2.1 mAh/cm 2 ) for 600 cycles without lithium plating. This methodical study with well-defined cells shows promise in combining multiple solution strategies to enable 10-min XFC, charting a pathway to achieve XFC in higher-loading energy-optimized LiBs.

Quantitative Analysis of Origin of Lithium Inventory Loss and Interface Evolution over Extended Fast Charge Aging in Li Ion Batteries

During the extreme fast charging (XFC) of lithium-ion batteries, lithium inventory loss (LLI) and reaction mechanisms at the anode/electrolyte interface are crucial factors in performance and safety. Determining the causes of LLI and quantifying them remain an essential challenge. We present mechanistic research on the evolution and interactions of aging mechanisms at the anode/electrolyte interface. We used NMC 532 /graphite pouch cells charged at rates of 1, 6, and 9 C up to 1000 cycles for our investigation. The cell components were characterized after cycling using electrochemical measurements, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, 7 Li solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. The results indicate that cells charged at 1 C exhibit no Li plating, and the increase of SEI thickness is the dominant source of the Li loss. In contrast, Li loss in cells charged at 9 C is related to the formation of the metallic plating layers (42%) the SEI layer (38.1%) and irreversible intercalation into the bulk graphite (19%). XPS analysis suggests that the charging rate has little influence on the evolution of SEI composition. The interactions between competing aging mechanisms were evaluated by a correlation analysis. In conclusion, the quantitative method established in this work provides a comprehensive analytical framework for understanding the synergistic coupling of anodic degradation mechanisms, forecasting SEI failure scenarios, and assessing the XFC lithium-ion battery capacity fade.
