Batteries and Fuel Cells

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...

Background:

Silicon anodes offer high capacity for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) but suffer from poor electrochemical performance.
Functional additives are a cost-effective strategy to improve LIB anode properties.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically investigate the impact of various functional additives on the performance of silicon anodes in LIBs.
To identify the most effective additive for enhancing the electrochemical properties of NMC811||Si full cells.

Main Methods:

Systematic electrochemical testing of LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811)||Si full cells with different additives.
Characterization using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS).

Main Results:

Lithium difluorobis(oxalato)phosphate (LiDFBOP) demonstrated superior performance compared to other additives.
LiDFBOP enabled the best capacity retention over 300 cycles in NMC811||Si full cells.
Characterization revealed LiDFBOP forms a more stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the silicon anode.

Conclusions:

LiDFBOP is a highly effective additive for improving silicon anode stability and performance in LIBs.
The favorable molecular structure of LiDFBOP integrates beneficial features of other additives, leading to enhanced SEI formation.
LiDFBOP shows significant promise for advancing silicon-based lithium-ion battery technology.
