LiF和LiCl对石墨电极电化学性能的影响

六氟磷酸锂是目前商品化锂离子电池中使用最广泛的电解质锂盐,LiF和LiCl是除水和酸之外六氟磷酸锂产品中最重要的杂质.运用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、充放电、循环伏安法（CV）以及电化学阻抗谱测试（EIS）等研究了LiF和LiCl对石墨电极电化学性能的影响.充放电结果表明,在1 mol/L LiPF₆-EC：DEC：DMC电解液中添加饱和的LiF,可以显著提高石墨电极的充放电可逆容量并改善其循环性能,而在1 mol/L LiPF₆-EC：DEC：DMC电解液中添加饱和的LiCl,虽也可提高石墨电极的首次充电容量,但严重恶化石墨电极的充放电循环稳定性.CV结果表明,电解液中LiF、LiCl的存在对EC的还原分解过程影响较小.但SEM和EIS的结果指示,LiF、LiCl对石墨电极表面SEI膜的形成过程影响较大.在添加饱和LiF的电解液中石墨电极表面形成的SEI膜较薄且电阻较小,进而提高了石墨电极的可逆循环容量及改善了其循环稳定性;但在饱和的LiCl电解液中石墨电极表面形成的SEI膜较厚且电阻较大,严重恶化石墨电极的电化学循环稳定性.

运用电化学阻抗谱(EIS)和循环伏安法(CV)研究了在1mol/LLiPF6-EC(碳酸乙烯酯):DMC(碳酸二甲酯)电解液中添加Li2CO3对石墨电极性能的影响及机制.CV研究结果表明,在1mol/LLiPF6-EC:DMC电解液中添加Li2CO3能够有效抑制石墨电极首次充放电过程中碳酸乙烯酯(EC)的单电子还原过程,即还原分解产生乙烯和碳酸锂的过程,进而改善石墨电极的电化学循环性能.EIS研究结果表明,在添加Li2CO3的1mol/LLiPF6-EC:DMC电解液中,石墨电极表面的固体电解质相界面膜(SEI膜)具有较强的黏弹性,可以更好地适应锂离子嵌入过程中石墨颗粒体积的微小变化,从而使锂离子的嵌入过程更容易进行.

四丁基六氟磷酸铵作为锂离子电池阻燃添加剂的研究

近年来关于锂离子电池造成的安全问题甚至事故的报道屡见不鲜,锂离子电池的安全问题已经成为人们关注的焦点. 我们用四丁基六氟磷酸铵（TBAPF₆）作为锂离子电池电解液阻燃添加剂,研究发现添加了TBAPF₆的电解液具有明显的阻燃效果,同时电解液电导率下降并不明显. LiCoO₂/Graphite全电池在添加了TBAPF₆的电解液中可逆容量会略有降低,但具有更优异的循环稳定性. 主要是由于TBAPF₆添加量的增加会影响石墨电极的库伦效率,延长活化时间. 通过对LiCoO₂/Graphite全电池绝热加速量热仪（ARC）测试,表明添加TBAPF₆对电池的燃烧有明显的抑制作用. 在TBAPF₆添加量至5%时,电池在300 ^oC内自放热速率不超过0.1^oC/min,电池的安全性显著提高.

LiCoO_2 electrode/electrolyte interface of Li-ion batteries investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

The storage behavior and the first delithiation of LiCoO2 electrode in 1 mol/L LiPF6-EC:DMC:DEC elec- trolyte were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It has found that, along with the increase of storage time, the thickness of SEI film increases, and some organic carbonate lithium compounds are formed due to spontaneous reactions occurring between the LiCoO2 electrode and the electrolyte. When electrode potential is changed from 3.8 to 3.95 V, the reversible breakdown of the resistive SEI film occurs, which is attributed to the reversible dissolution of the SEI film component. With the increase of electrode potential, the thickness of SEI film increases rapidly above 4.2 V, due to overcharge reactions. The inductive loop observed in impedance spectra of the LiCoO2 electrode in Li/LiCoO2 cells is attributed to the formation of a Li1-xCoO2/LiCoO2 concentration cell. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that the lithium-ion insertion-deinsertion in LiCoO2 hosts can be well described by both Langmuir and Frumkin insertion isotherms, and the symmetry factor of charge transfer has been evaluated at 0.5.     

The understanding of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) formation and mechanism as the effect of flouro-o-phenylenedimaleimaide (F-MI) additive on lithium-ion battery

Solid electrolyte interface (SEI) is a critical factor that influences battery performance. SEI layer is formed by the decomposition of organic and inorganic compounds after the first cycle. This study investigates SEI formation as a product of electrolyte decomposition by the presence of flouro-o-phenylenedimaleimaide (F-MI) additive. The presence of fluorine on the maleimide-based additive can increase storage capacity and reversible discharge capacity due to high electronegativity and high electron-withdrawing group. The electrolyte containing 0.1 wt% of F-MI-based additive can trigger the formation of SEI, which could suppress the decomposition of remaining electrolyte. The reduction potential was 2.35 to 2.21 V vs Li/Li⁺ as examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) cell with F-MI additive showed the lowest SEI resistance (Rsei) at 5898 Ω as evaluated by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The morphology and element analysis on the negative electrode after the first charge-discharge cycle were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS result showed that MCMB cell with F-MI additive provides a higher intensity of organic compounds (RCH₂OCO₂Li) and thinner SEI than MCMB cell without an additive that provides a higher intensity of inorganic compound (Li₂CO₃ and Li₂O), which leads to the performance decay. It is concluded that attaching the fluorine functional group on the maleimide-based additive forms the ideal SEI formation for lithium-ion battery.     

Impedance Studies of Spinel LiMn2O4 Electrode/electrolyte Interfaces

The formation process of solid electrolyte interphase（SEI） film on spinel LiMn2O4 electrode surface was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS） during the initial storage in 1 mol/L LiPF6-EC：DMC：DEC electrolyte and in the subsequent first charge-discharge cycle. It has been demonstrated that the SEI film thickness increased with the increase of storage time and spontaneous reactions occurring between spinel LiMn2O4 electrode and electrolyte can be prevented by the SEI film. In the first charge-discharge cycle succeeding the storage, the electrolyte oxidation coupled with Li-ion insertion is evidenced as the main origin to increase the resistance of SEI film. The results also confirm that the variations of the charge transfer resistance（Rot） with the electrode potential（E） can be well described using a classical equation.     

Electrochemical SPM investigation of the solid electrolyte interphase film formed on HOPG electrodes

Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film formation on graphite electrodes was studied on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) in nonaqueous electrolyte by in situ electrochemical atomic force microscopy (AFM). For potentials negative to 0.7 V versus Li|Li⁺ a SEI film is formed on the HOPG electrode surface. After the first cycle the film is rough and covers the surface of the HOPG electrode only partially. After the second cycle the HOPG surface is fully covered by a compact film. The thickness of the SEI film was measured by increasing the pressure of the AFM tip and thus scraping a part of the electrode surface. In this way a thickness of about 25 nm was found for the SEI film formed after two scan cycles between 3 and 0.01 V versus Li|Li⁺.

With the increase of electrode potential, the thickness of SEI film increases rapidly above 4.2 V, due to overcharge reactions. The inductive loop observed in impedance spectra of the LiCoO₂ electrode in Li/LiCoO₂ cells is attributed to the formation of a Li_1−x CoO₂/LiCoO₂ concentration cell. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that the lithium-ion insertion-deinsertion in LiCoO₂ hosts can be well described by both Langmuir and Frumkin insertion isotherms, and the symmetry factor of charge transfer has been evaluated at 0.5.
