Lithium metal batteries are regarded as promising alternative next-generation energy storage systems.

Ion–Dipole-Interaction-Induced Encapsulation of Free Residual Solvent for Long-Cycle Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 145(47), P. 25632 - 25642

Published: Nov. 9, 2023

Owing to high ionic conductivity and mechanical strength, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) electrolytes have attracted increasing attention for solid-state lithium batteries, but highly reactive residual solvents severely plague cycling stability. Herein, we report a free-solvent-capturing strategy triggered by reinforced ion-dipole interactions between Li+ solvent molecules. Lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) salt additive with electron-withdrawing capability serves as redistributor of the electropositive state, which offers more binding sites solvents. Benefiting from modified coordination environment, kinetically stable anion-derived interphases are preferentially formed, effectively mitigating interfacial side reactions electrodes electrolytes. As result, assembled battery shows lifetime over 2000 cycles an average Coulombic efficiency 99.9% capacity retention 80%. Our discovery sheds fresh light on targeted regulation extend cycle life batteries.

Dynamic supramolecular networks are constantly accompanied by thermal instability. The fundamental reason is most reversible noncovalent bonds quickly decay at elevated temperatures and dissociate below 100 °C. Here, in this paper, we realize a ion-dipole interaction with high-temperature stability exceeding 150 resultant network can simultaneously possess mechanical strength of 1.32 MPa (14.8 times that pristine material), dynamic self-healing capability, stable working temperature up to 200 From the prolonged characteristic relaxation time 600 s even °C, our material represents one thermally polymers. These remarkable performances achieved using new multivalent yet low-entropy-penalty molecular design. In way, bond reach high enthalpy while minimizing entropy-dominated dissociations.

Abstract Severe capacity decay under subzero temperatures remains a significant challenge for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) due to the sluggish interfacial kinetics.

Molecular‐Layer‐Deposited Zincone Films Induce the Formation of LiF‐Rich Interphase for Lithium Metal Anodes

Advanced Energy Materials, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(12)

Published: Jan. 31, 2023

Abstract Lithium metal anodes suffer from low Coulombic efficiency and dendritic growth owing to an unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which limit the practical applications of lithium anodes. Here, zincone (ZnHQ) is conformally fabricated on 3D copper nanowires (CuNWs) via a molecular layer deposition (MLD) technology. Upon polarization, terminal oxygen ZnHQ serves as strong nucleophilic agent attack Li bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, yielding LiF‐rich SEI. This SEI facilitates transport, shuts off electron conduction, inhibits dendrites. In addition, zinc atoms induce favorable their lithiophilicity. These advantages enabled by MLD make ZnHQ‐modified CuNW (CuNW@ZnHQ) ideal anode, demonstrates excellent cyclability. A symmetrical cell CuNW@ZnHQ shows high cycling stability for more than 7000 h at current density 1 mA cm −2 . When pairing with Ni/Co/Mn ternary oxide cathode (NCM523), resultant CuNW@ZnHQ||NCM full cycled 1000 cycles 90% capacity retention areal 3.2 mAh The technology brings new opportunities next‐generation high‐energy batteries.
