Electrochemistry of a lithium electrode in lithium polysulfide solutions

The effect of lithium polysulfides on the cycling of a lithium electrode and the corrosion rate of lithium cathodic deposits in sulfolane electrolytes is studied. Lithium polysulfides are found to affect the shape of polarization curves, the overpotential of electrode processes, and the cycling time. The presence of lithium polysulfides in electrolyte systems increases the cycling time of a lithium electrode and positively affects the quality of lithium cathodic deposits. A suggested reason for the positive effect of lithium polysulfides is the appearance of a surface film on metallic lithium: this film has quite high protective properties but does not inhibit electrochemical processes.     

Interfacial Evolution of Lithium Dendrites and Their Solid Electrolyte Interphase Shells of Quasi‐Solid‐State Lithium‐Metal Batteries

Unstable electrode/solid‐state electrolyte interfaces and internal lithium dendrite penetration hamper the applications of solid‐state lithium‐metal batteries (SSLMBs), and the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Herein, in situ optical microscopy provides insights into the lithium plating/stripping processes in a gel polymer electrolyte and reveals its dynamic evolution. Spherical lithium deposits evolve into moss‐like and branch‐shaped lithium dendrites with increasing current densities. Remarkably, the on‐site‐formed solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) shell on the lithium dendrite is distinctly captured after lithium stripping. Inducing an on‐site‐formed SEI shell with an enhanced modulus to wrap the lithium precipitation densely and uniformly can regulate dendrite‐free behaviors. An in‐depth understanding of lithium dendrite evolution and its functional SEI shell will aid in the optimization of SSLMBs.

Reasons for the effect of the amount of electrolyte on the performance of lithium–sulfur cells

As is known, the depth of the electrochemical reduction of sulfur and lithium polysulfides, the reduction rate, and the cycle life of lithium–sulfur cells decrease with the electrolyte content. The present paper studies the reasons for the effect of the amount of electrolyte on the depth of sulfur reduction and the cycle life of lithium–sulfur cells. The main reason for the effect of the amount of electrolyte on the depth of the electrochemical reduction of sulfur was shown to be the generation of solvate complexes of lithium polysulfides. The minimum amount of electrolyte required for complete reduction of sulfur during the discharge of lithium–sulfur cells is determined by the composition of the generated solvate complexes of lithium polysulfides. The solvate numbers of the lithium ion in the solvate complexes of lithium polysulfides generted in sulfolane electrolyte systems were evaluated from the experimental data. An analysis of the results shows that the minimum solvate number of lithium ions in the solvate complexes of lithium polysulfides with sulfolane is 1.     

柱状金属锂沉积物:电解液添加剂的影响

二次电池的能量密度已成为推动电动汽车和便携式电子产品技术向前发展的重要指标。使用石墨负极的锂离子电池正接近其理论能量密度的天花板,但仍难以满足高端储能设备的需求。金属锂负极因其极高的理论比容量和极低的电极电位,受到了广泛关注。然而,锂沉积过程中枝晶的生长会导致电池安全性差等问题。电解液对金属锂的沉积有着至关重要的影响。本文设计了一种独特的电解槽体系来进行柱状锂的沉积,研究了不同电解液体系(1mol·L^-1LiPF6-碳酸乙烯酯/碳酸二乙酯(EC/DEC,体积比为1:1)、1 mol·L^-1 LiPF6-氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC,体积分数5%)-EC/DEC (体积比为1:1))对金属锂沉积的影响。对两种电解液中金属锂沉积物长径比的研究表明,电解液的组分可以显著地影响金属锂的沉积形貌,在加入氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)添加剂之后,柱状锂的直径从0.3–0.6μm增加到0.7–1.3μm,长径比从12.5下降到5.6。长径比的降低有助于减小金属锂和电解液的反应面积,提高金属锂负极的利用率和循环寿命。通过考察循环后锂片的表面化学性质,发现FEC的分解增加了锂表面固态电解质界面层中氟化锂(LiF)组分的比例,提高了界面层中锂离子的扩散速率,减少了锂的成核位点,从而给予锂核更大的生长空间,降低了沉积出的柱状锂的长径比。

A computational study of halomethyllithium carbenoid mixed aggregates with lithium halides and lithium methoxide

Density functional theory calculations were used to examine the formation of lithium halide and lithium alkoxide mixed aggregates with halomethyllithium carbenoids. These mixed aggregates may be the important intermediates in carbenoid reactions where lithium halides are formed as byproducts, or when the mixture has been exposed to small amounts of air. The calculations showed that in the gas phase and in THF solution, mixed dimers, trimers, and tetramers may coexist with free lithium carbenoids, depending on the lithium salt. The calculations also indicated that mixed aggregates may influence the activation free energies of cyclopropanation reactions of lithium carbenoids.     

Recent advances in metal-organic frameworks for lithium metal anode protection

The lithium metal battery has been considered as a promising candidate for next generation batteries.However,safety concerns caused by uncontrollable lithium dendrite growth on lithium anode are severely hampering the commercial application.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)become one of the most attractive materials due to the high porosity,structural designability and tunability.With unique open channels and pores as well as functional components in MOFs,the transportation and deposition of lithium ions can be regulated,which leads to enhanced electrochemical prope rties.Various strategies for lithium metal protection are proposed in recent wo rks on applications of MOFs in lithium metal batteries.In this review,we highlight latest key approaches in this field and discuss the prospects for MOFs in advanced Li anodes.     

Highly Stable Lithium Metal Batteries Enabled by Regulating the Solvation of Lithium Ions in Nonaqueous Electrolytes

Safe and rechargeable lithium metal batteries have been difficult to achieve because of the formation of lithium dendrites. Herein an emerging electrolyte based on a simple solvation strategy is proposed for highly stable lithium metal anodes in both coin and pouch cells. Fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and lithium nitrate (LiNO₃) were concurrently introduced into an electrolyte, thus altering the solvation sheath of lithium ions, and forming a uniform solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), with an abundance of LiF and LiN_xO_y on a working lithium metal anode with dendrite‐free lithium deposition. Ultrahigh Coulombic efficiency (99.96 %) and long lifespans (1000 cycles) were achieved when the FEC/LiNO₃ electrolyte was applied in working batteries. The solvation chemistry of electrolyte was further explored by molecular dynamics simulations and first‐principles calculations. This work provides insight into understanding the critical role of the solvation of lithium ions in forming the SEI and delivering an effective route to optimize electrolytes for safe lithium metal batteries.
