This new aqueous battery, utilizing the "Water-in-Salt" electrolyte, shows promising potential for large scale energy storage systems with low-cost electrodes, safer and greener electrolyte, and high coulombic efficiency. It also demonstrates improved capacity, stability, and efficiency compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries.
The conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have dominated the portable electronics markets; however, inherent limitations have raised concerns over their cost, safety, and greenness in large scale energy storage applications. Taking advantage of the recently developed ?Water-in-Salt? electrolyte (WiSE), an aqueous lithiumion battery of TiS2/LiFePO4 (LFP) is demonstrated. The effects of potential window, addition of tris(trimethylsilyl) borate (TMSB) salt, and the choice of current collector on cell performance are investigated. The aqueous TiS2/LFP cell delivers an energy density of 65 Wh kg-1, based on the total mass of electrodes. The presence of TMSB additive enhances the capacity, stability, and efficiency of the cell. Compared to the control cell, the capacity increases by 34%, SEI layer resistance decreases by 1.7 times, and the charge transfer resistance decreases by 7 times, yielding high coulombic efficiency of 99.9% and capacity retention of 70% after 100 cycles. A safe potential window of 0.01?1.6 V, 0.1 wt% TMSB in WiSE, and stainless-steel current collector on the cathode and titanium on the anode offer the most stable cycling. The combination of low-cost electrodes, safer and greener electrolyte, and high coulombic efficiency make this new aqueous battery promising for large scale energy storage systems.
