Batteries and Fuel Cells

27.9K
A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are crucial for electric vehicles but limited by slow graphite anode kinetics.
  • Existing LIBs face challenges with charging speed due to anode limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design novel electrolytes for extreme fast charging (XFC) of graphite anodes in LIBs.
  • To identify key factors enabling fast charging without lithium plating.

Main Methods:

  • Electrolyte design based on criteria of high ionic conductivity, low Li+ desolvation energy, and protective solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).
  • Comprehensive characterization and simulations of Li+ diffusion, charge transfer, and SEI formation.
  • Testing of designed electrolytes in LiFePO4||graphite and LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2||graphite cells.

Main Results:

  • Two novel electrolytes were developed: 1.8 m LiFSI in 1,3-dioxolane and 1.0 m LiPF6 in FEC/MeCN (7:3).
  • The low-voltage electrolyte achieved 180 mAh g-1 at 50C for graphite anodes, a tenfold increase over conventional electrolytes.
  • The high-voltage electrolyte enabled LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2||graphite cells to reach 170 mAh g-1 at 4C charge.

Conclusions:

  • High ionic conductivity, low Li+ desolvation energy, and a protective SEI are critical for XFC.
  • The developed electrolytes demonstrate significant improvements in fast-charging capabilities for LIBs.
  • This research provides design principles for practical fast-charging LIBs with graphite anodes.
