介孔碳材料抑制锂电池负极枝晶生长

为了解决锂电池负极表面锂枝晶生长带来的性能衰退和安全问题。 以沸石咪唑酯骨架-8(ZIF-8)为前驱体制得介孔碳材料(MCM),用于金属锂负极表面改性。 X射线粉末衍射(XRD)和拉曼光谱表明,退火制得的MCM具有一定的石墨化程度,N₂气吸脱附测试(BET)证明MCM具有典型的介孔特征。 对比不同温度退火样品的XRD、拉曼光谱和BET测试结果,确定900 ℃为最佳退火温度。 优化的MCM作为表面改性剂对金属锂负极进行改性研究。 电池充放电循环后,负极样品的XRD和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)测试表明,MCM能够通过均衡锂负极表面的电荷分布抑制金属锂的取向沉积和锂枝晶的生长。 本研究为制备抑制锂电池负极枝晶生长表面改性剂提供了一种简便而有效的合成方法,有利于锂电池循环寿命的延长和安全性能的提高。     

Influence of fluoroethylene carbonate on the solid electrolyte interphase of silicon anode for Li-ion batteries:A scanning force spectroscopy study

Silicon is an important high capacity anode material for the next generation Li-ion batteries.The electrochemical performances of the Si anode are influenced strongly by the properties of the solid electrolyte interphase(SEI).It is well known that the addition of flouroethylene carbonate(FEC)in the carbonate electrolyte is helpful to improve the cyclic performance of the Si anode.The possible origin is suggested to relate to the modification of the SEI.However,detailed information is still absent.In this work,the structural and mechanical properties of the SEI on Si thin film anode in the ethylene-carbonate-based(EC-based)and FEC-based electrolytes at different discharging and charging states have been investigated using a scanning atomic force microscopy force spectroscopy(AFMFS)method.Single-layered,double-layered,and multi-layered SEI structures with various Young’s moduli have been visualized three dimensionally at nanoscale based on the hundreds of force curves in certain scanned area.The coverage of the SEI can be obtained quantitatively from the two-dimensional(2D)project plots.The related analysis indicates that more soft SEI layers are covered on the Si anode,and this could explain the benefits of the FEC additive.
