It is found that the conductivity of the prepared polymer electrolytes is higher than that of LiClO4/PEO or LiClO4/EC-DMC by two or three orders in magnitude and a large delocalized bond formed in Li2B4O7-PVA lead to transportation of Li ion easier, this electrolyte possesses high thermo-stability and can be used under 200℃.     

高氯酸锂与1,3-氮氧杂环-戊-2-酮形成的二元熔盐电解质

制备了高氯酸锂(LiClO4)与1,3-氮氧杂环-戊-2-酮(OZO)形成的二元熔盐电解质, 虽然先导物具有较高的熔点, 但二者可形成均一、稳定的共熔体系, 测试结果表明该熔盐体系具有低的共熔温度(-50 益). 红外光谱分析表明OZO 通过Li—O 键与LiClO4中Li+配位而破坏了LiClO4的离子键,形成很大的配位阳离子,削弱了阴阳离子间的库伦作用力; 同时Li—O 配位也导致OZO 分子间的氢键断裂, 因而体系的共熔温度较之纯物质熔点显著降低, 部分样品室温下以液体状态稳定存在. 采用交流阻抗法和循环伏安法对其电化学性质进行研究, 结果显示, 配比n(LiClO4):n(OZO)=1:4.5 的样品室温(25 ℃)电导率为0.66×10^-3 S·cm^-1, 80 ℃电导率为7.33×10^-3 S·cm^-1; 其电化学稳定电位窗口约为3.5 V.     

Cation and pressure effects on the electrochemistry of 12-tungstocobaltate and 12-tungstophosphate ions in acidic aqueous solution

The effects of supporting electrolytes and of pressure on the electrode reactions of the aqueous CoW(12)O(40)(5-/6-) couple at 25 degrees C are reported, together with limited data on PW(12)O(40)(3-)/4-) and PW(12)O(40)(4-/5-). The half-wave potentials E(1/2) for the CoW(12) couple become moderately more positive with increasing electrolyte concentration and cationic charge, and also in the sequences Li(+) approximately Na(+) < NH(4)(+) < or = H(+) < K(+) < Rb(+) < Cs(+) and Na(+) < Mg(2+) < Ca(2+) < Eu(3+). The mean diffusion coefficients for CoW(12) with the 1:1 electrolytes are independent of electrolyte concentration and rise only slightly from Li(+) to Cs(+), averaging (2.4 +/- 0.3) x 10(-6) cm(2) s(-1). Neither the volumes of activation for diffusion Delta V(diff)(++) (average -0.9 +/- 1.1 cm(3) mol(-1)) nor the electrochemical cell reaction volumes Delta V(Ag/AgCl) (average -22 +/- 2 cm(3) mol(-1)) for the CoW(12) couple show significant dependence on electrolyte identity or concentration. For the PW(12)(3-/4-) and PW(12)(4-/5-) couples, Delta V(Ag/AgCl) = -14 and -26 cm(3) mol(-1), respectively, suggesting a dependence on Delta(z(2)) (z = ionic charge number) as predicted by the Born-Drude-Nernst theory of electrostriction of solvent, but comparison with Delta V(Ag/AgCl) for CoW(12) and other anion-anion couples shows that the Born-Drude-Nernst approach fails in this context. For aqueous electrode reactions of CoW(12), as for other anionic couples such as cyanometalates, the standard rate constants k(el) show specific cation catalysis (Na(+) < K(+) < Rb(+) < Cs(+)), and Delta V(el++) is invariably positive, in the presence of supporting electrolytes. For the heavier group 1 cations, Delta V(el++) is particularly large (10-15 cm(3) mol(-1)), consistent with a partial dehydration of the cation to facilitate catalysis of the electron-transfer process. The positive values of Delta V(el++) for the CoW(12) couple cannot be attributed to rate control by solvent dynamics, which would lead to Delta V(el++) < or = Delta V(diff++), i.e., to negative or zero Delta V(el++) values. These results stand in sharp contrast to those for aqueous cationic couples, for which k(el) shows relatively little influence of the nature of the counterion and Delta V(el++) is always negative.     

Blends of POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) and high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) as solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries

Solid polymer electrolyte blends were prepared with POSS-PEO(n=4)8 (3K), poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO(600K)), and LiClO4 at different salt concentrations (O/Li = 8/1, 12/1, and 16/1). POSS-PEO(n=4)8/LiClO4 is amorphous at all O/Li investigated, whereas PEO(600K) is amorphous only for O/Li = 8/1 and semicrystalline for O/Li = 12/1 and 16/1. The tendency of PEO(600K) to crystallize limited the amount of POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) that could be incorporated into the blends, so that the greatest incorporation of POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) occurred for O/Li = 8/1. Blends of POSS-PEO(n=4)(8)/PEO(600K)/LiClO4 (O/Li = 8/1 and 12/1) microphase separated into two amorphous phases, a low T(g) phase of composition 85% POSS-PEO(n=4)(8)/15% PEO(600K) and a high T(g) phase of composition 29% POSS-PEO(n=4)(8)/71% PEO(600K). For O/Li = 16/1, the blends contained crystalline (pure PEO(600K)), and two amorphous phases, one rich in POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) and one rich in PEO(600K). Microphase, rather than macrophase separation was believed to occur as a result of Li(+)/ether oxygen cross-link sites. The conductivity of the blends depended on their composition. As expected, crystallinity decreased the conductivity of the blends. For the amorphous blends, when the low T(g) (80/20) phase was the continuous phase, the conductivity was intermediate between that of pure PEO(600K) and POSS-PEO(n=4)(8). When the high T(g) (70/30, 50/50, 30/70, and 20/80) phase was the continuous phase, the conductivity of the blend and PEO(600K) were identical, and lower than that for the POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) over the whole temperature range (10-90 degrees C). This suggests that the motions of the POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) were slowed down by the dynamics of the long chain PEO(600K) and that the minor, low Tg phase was not interconnected and thus did not contribute to enhanced conductivity. At temperatures above T(m) of PEO(600K), addition of the POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) did not result in conductivity improvement. The highest RT conductivity, 8 x 10(-6) S/cm, was obtained for a 60% POSS-PEO(n=4)(8)/40% PEO(600K)/LiClO4 (O/Li = 12/1) blend.

New evidence on the structure of potassium salts of 12-tungstophosphoric acid, KxH3-xPW12O40

Physicochemical properties and compositions of KxH(3-x)PW12O40 salts, where 2 < or = x < or = 3, have been investigated. It has been found that freshly prepared K2HPW12O40 salt (drying at 313 K) contains particles of heteropolyacid and particles of the neutral potassium salt, the sample being in 78.6% amorphous. On aging at room temperature, the heteropolyacid spreads to form a surface layer covering the neutral potassium salt particles K3PW12O40. Heat treatment of KxH(3-x)PW12O40 salts, where 2 < or = x < 3, from 313 K to higher temperatures induces the transformation of the heteropolyacid-covering K(3) core into a well-dispersed, amorphous surface layer. On further heating of the acidic potassium salts, the surface layer decomposes between 855 and 915 K with the formation of a PW8O26-type bronze as a new phase, the K3PW12O40 salt remaining unchanged. The latter starts to decompose at 1093 K, and in the case of all samples, the process is completed at about 1183 K. Rietveld structure refinement, XPS, and 31P NMR measurements of acidic potassium salts indicate that the core of these salts is always formed by the K3PW12O40 salt, which is covered by a heteropolyacid. Comparison of lattice parameters of the K3 salt and HPW leads to the conclusion that the layer is composed of partially or completely dehydrated heteropolyacid molecules. The coverage of the core by HPW in the K2 sample was estimated to be equal to one monolayer.

Enhanced Lithium‐Ion Conductivity of Polymer Electrolytes by Selective Introduction of Hydrogen into the Anion

The anion chemistry of lithium salts plays a pivotal role in dictating the physicochemical and electrochemical performance of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs), thus affecting the cyclability of all‐solid‐state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs). The bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion (TFSI^?) has long been studied as the most promising candidate for SPEs; however, the Li‐ion conductivities of the TFSI‐based SPEs still remain low (Li‐ion transference number: ca. 0.2). In this work, we report new hydrogen‐containing anions, conceived based on theoretical considerations, as an electrolyte salt for SPEs. SPEs comprising hydrogen‐containing anions achieve higher Li‐ion conductivities than TFSI‐based ones, and those anions are electrochemically stable for various kinds of ASSLMBs (Li–LiFePO₄, Li–S, and Li–O₂ batteries). This opens up a new avenue for designing safe and high‐performance ASSLMBs in the future.

含锂沸石Li-FER提高PEO复合聚合物电解质电导率

通过离子交换方法使锂部分取代了镁碱沸石（FER）孔道壁上羟基中的氢，制得含锂沸石Li-FER. 将这种沸石作为无机填料加入到PEO/LiClO₄聚合物电解质中，可以使其室温电导率提高三个数量级以上. 电化学测量表明， 锂离子与PEO和含锂沸石中氧的相互作用提高了聚合物电解质中锂离子的迁移数. 另一方面， 采用XRD, DSC, PLM等方法研究了电解质的结晶状况.结果表明, Li-FER可以作为PEO链段结晶的成核剂，使PEO电解质的晶粒得到细化， 结晶度降低，为Li⁺的传输提供了更多的非晶区通道. 这是Li-FER的加入促使PEO聚合物电解质电导率提高的两个主要原因.     

Nanostructured liquid-crystalline Li-ion conductors with high oxidation resistance: molecular design strategy towards safe and high-voltage-operation Li-ion batteries

Nanostructured, uncharged liquid-crystalline (LC) electrolyte molecules having bicyclohexyl and cyclic carbonate moieties have been developed for application in Li-ion batteries as quasi-solid electrolytes, which suppress leakage and combustion. Towards the development of safe and high performance Li-ion batteries, we have designed Li-ion conductive LC materials with high oxidation resistance using density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The DFT calculation suggests that a mesogen with a bicyclohexyl moiety is suitable for the high-oxidation-resistance LC electrolytes compared to a mesogen containing phenylene moieties. A tri(oxyethylene) chain introduced between the cyclic carbonate and the bicyclohexyl moiety in the core part tunes the viscosity and the miscibility with Li salts. The designed Li-ion conductive LC molecules exhibit smectic LC phases over a wide temperature range, and they are miscible with added lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt up to 5 : 5 in molar ratio in their smectic phases. The resulting LC mixtures with LiTFSI show oxidation resistance above 4.0 V vs. Li/Li⁺ in cyclic voltammetry measurements. The enhanced oxidation resistance improves the performance of Li half-cells containing LC electrolytes.

PEO基聚合物电解质及其锂硫电池性能研究

锂硫电池由于具有高的理论比能量引起了广泛关注,然而传统液态锂硫电池由于多硫化物的“穿梭效应”以及安全问题而限制了其应用,全固态锂硫电池可显著提高电池安全性能并有望解决多硫化物的穿梭问题. 本文采用传统的溶液浇铸法制备了具有不同的[EO]/[Li⁺]的PEO-LiTFSI聚合物电解质,并将其应用于锂硫电池. 研究发现,虽然[EO]/[Li⁺] = 8的聚合物电解质具有更高的离子电导率,但是[EO]/[Li⁺] = 20的电解质与金属锂负极间的界面阻抗更低,界面稳定性更好. Li|PEO-LiTFSI([EO]/[Li⁺]=20)|Li对称电池在60 °C,电流密度为0.1 mA·cm^-2时可稳定循环超过300 h,而Li|PEO-LiTFSI ([EO]/[Li⁺]=8)|Li对称电池循环75 h就出现了短路现象. 基于PEO-LiTFSI([EO]/[Li⁺]=20)电解质的锂硫电池首圈放电比容量为934 mAh·g^-1,循环16圈后放电比容量为917 mAh·g^-1以上. 而基于PEO-LiTFSI ([EO]/[Li⁺]=8)电解质的锂硫电池,由于与锂负极较低的界面稳定性不能够正常循环,首圈就出现了严重过充现象.     

Infrared (attenuated total reflection) study of propylene carbonate solutions containing lithium and sodium perchlorate

Attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy was used to examine the concentration dependent solvation of LiClO4 and NaClO4 electrolytes in propylene carbonate (PC). Factor analysis and curve fitting techniques were performed on the measured spectra and the results compared with ab initio computations to provide evidence for ion-solvent solution geometries. Factor analysis of the measured data allowed the identification of the spectrum of ion-associated PC that is uniquely different from the self-associated PC spectrum. The results indicate Li+ and ClO4- ions are contact ion-paired even at relatively low electrolyte concentrations whereas Na+ and ClO4- ions are not, up to approximately 2 mol dm-3.

锂金属负极的可逆性与沉积形貌的关联

高能量密度二次电池的商业化将会推动便携式电子设备和电动车的飞速发展。锂金属电池因具有较高的理论能量密度而受到研究者的广泛关注。然而,锂金属负极较低的库仑效率(CE)和枝晶生长等问题,严重制约了锂金属电池的发展。库仑效率是衡量电池体系可逆性的关键参数之一,锂金属负极的库仑效率在不同电解液中存在较大的差异,本文以四种常见的电解液为例,包括1 mol·L^-1六氟磷酸锂-碳酸乙烯酯/碳酸二甲酯电解液,1 mol·L^-1六氟磷酸锂-碳酸乙烯酯/碳酸二甲酯+5%(w)氟代碳酸乙烯酯电解液,1 mol·L^-1双(三氟甲烷磺酰)亚胺锂-乙二醇二甲醚/1,3二氧戊环+2%(w)硝酸锂电解液,以及4 mol·L^-1双氟磺酰亚胺锂-乙二醇二甲醚电解液,利用原子力显微镜研究了不同电解液体系中锂金属的生长行为,探讨了锂金属沉积形貌与其库仑效率之间的联系,为发展高效的锂金属负极提供了参考依据。

Electrochemical insertion of magnesium ions into V2O5 from aprotic electrolytes with varied water content

The electrochemical performance of V2O5 has been studied in propylene carbonate (PC)-containing magnesium perchlorate [Mg(ClO4)2] electrolytes in view of their application as positive electrode in the rechargeable magnesium batteries. V2O5 exhibited good properties in hosting magnesium ions and its electrochemical performance depended on the amount of H2O in the electrolytes. The highest first discharge specific capacities of V2O5 electrode was up to 158.6 mAh/g in 1 mol dm(-3) Mg(ClO4)2 + 1.79 mol dm(-3) H2O/PC electrolytes. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and charging-discharging tests showed that a reasonable amount of H2O in the electrolyte solution facilitated the electrochemical performance of V2O5 electrodes.
