Batteries and Fuel Cells

27.4K
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:

  • High-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are crucial for applications like electric vehicles.
  • Coupling nickel-rich layered oxide (NCM) cathodes with silicon (Si)-based anodes offers a promising route to increased energy density.
  • However, interfacial instability on both electrodes leads to capacity fading and limited cycle life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a multifunctional electrolyte additive for stabilizing interfaces in NCM/Si full cells.
  • To mitigate the volume expansion of Si anodes and suppress parasitic reactions at the NCM cathode.
  • To enhance the overall electrochemical performance and cycle life of high-energy LIBs.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of lithium tetrafluoro(oxalato) phosphate as an electrolyte additive.
  • Application of the additive in NCM/Si full cells.
  • Electrochemical characterization, including cycling tests and impedance spectroscopy.
  • Analysis of interfacial properties using techniques like XPS and SEM (implied).

Main Results:

  • The additive successfully formed stable interphases (LiF, Li3PO4, P-containing polymer) on both NCM and Si.
  • It effectively suppressed interfacial side reactions and mitigated Si anode volume changes.
  • Demonstrated excellent cycling stability in 4.4 V 5 Ah 21700 cylindrical batteries, retaining 92.9% capacity after 300 cycles.

Conclusions:

  • Lithium tetrafluoro(oxalato) phosphate is an effective multifunctional additive for stabilizing interfaces in high-energy NCM/Si LIBs.
  • The strategy significantly improves cycle life and electrochemical performance.
  • This work provides a new approach for interfacial engineering in advanced battery systems.
