Electrolyte Interfacial Reactions in Localized High Concentration Electrolytes for Various Energy Storage Chemistries
EMSL Project ID
51724
Abstract
Localized high-concentration electrolytes (LHCEs) developed at PNNL in 2017 for rechargeable lithium (Li) metal batteries show not only significant enhancement in protection of Li metal anode and performance of Li metal batteries with conventional intercalation cathode materials, but also great improvement in Li-ion batteries with graphite and silicon anodes as well as Li-oxygen batteries. Further characterize the electrolytes and the electrode/electrolyte interphase/interface can help us understand the origin of such battery performance improvement and the mechanism of electrode/electrolyte interfacial reactions from the LHCEs, and then guide us to develop more stable electrolytes for various battery chemistries. The characterizations include the use of spectroscopy and microscopy techniques, such as XPS, XRD, Raman, NMR, SEM, TEM, ToF-SIMS.
