Batteries and Fuel Cells

27.3K
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...

Molecular and Ionic Solids

17.1K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Metallic Solids

18.4K
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability....

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Polymer Science

Background:

  • Polymer-based lithium-metal batteries face challenges with low coulombic efficiency and poor cycling stability due to electrolyte decomposition.
  • Improving the stability of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) is crucial for mitigating this decomposition and enhancing battery performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel composite polymer electrolyte (MSMB-CPE) using surface-functionalized silica mesoball fillers.
  • To investigate the impact of these fillers on the SEI stability, ionic conductivity, and overall performance of lithium-metal batteries.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of composite polymer electrolyte (MSMB-CPE) with surface-functionalized silica mesoball fillers.
  • Molecular dynamics simulations to study ion dissociation energy and filler-electrolyte interactions.
  • Electrochemical testing including ionic conductivity, transference number, symmetric cell performance, and full cell cycling.

Main Results:

  • Surface modification ensures uniform filler distribution, providing large surface area and Lewis acid sites.
  • Simulations show a fourfold higher dissociation energy of LiTFSI in the filler compared to filler-free electrolytes.
  • MSMB-CPE exhibits 30 times higher diffusivity, ionic conductivity of 1.16 × 10⁻² S cm⁻¹ at 60 °C, and a Li-ion transference number of 0.81.
  • Stable symmetric cell performance for over 5000 h at high current density (200 µA cm⁻² @60 °C).
  • 85.60% capacity retention in a [Li/MSMB-CPE/LiFePO₄] full cell after 700 cycles.
  • Compositional analysis reveals a smooth SEI layer with fewer by-products.

Conclusions:

  • Surface-functionalized silica mesoball fillers effectively enhance SEI stability in polymer electrolytes.
  • The developed MSMB-CPE offers significantly improved ionic conductivity, ion transport, and cycling stability for lithium-metal batteries.
  • This approach presents a promising strategy for developing high-performance and stable polymer-based lithium-metal batteries.
