Engineering Electrode/Electrolyte Interphase Chemistry toward High-Rate and Long-Life Potassium Ion Full-Cell

Ying Mo et al.

Summary: Controlling the interfacial chemistries of potassium ion full-cells is crucial for better K(+) storage, however, the correlation between cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and their impact on electrochemical performance are poorly understood. In this study, an electrochemical modification strategy was used to tailor the CEI on a K2Fe[Fe(CN)(6)] (KFeHCF) surface and the SEI on a graphite (Gr) surface. The optimized matchup between CEI and SEI resulted in improved rate and cycling performance of KFeHCF/Gr full-cells, attributed to the presence of a robust, homogeneous, and conductive SEI containing stable PEO and K2CO3. These findings enhance our understanding of interfacial chemistry in K(+) storage and provide a rational design strategy for efficient and durable potassium ion full-cells, with potential application in other energy storage systems.

Conductive Li+ Moieties-Rich Cathode Electrolyte Interphase with Electrolyte Additive for 4.6 V Well-Cycled Li||LiCoO2 Batteries

Kanglong Guo et al.

Summary: Increasing the cut-off voltage of cathodes improves the energy density of Li||LiCoO2 batteries, but also leads to rapid battery degradation due to oxidation and deterioration. However, by using bis-(benzenesulfonyl)imide (BBSI) as an additive, a uniform and highly Li+ conductive cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) is constructed, which stabilizes the batteries at 4.6 cut-off voltage and exhibits superior cycling and high-rate performance. The CEI, consisting of LiF and conductive Li+ moieties, improves Li+ migration, alleviates cathode degradation, and reduces other secondary degradation factors. Li||LiCoO2 batteries with 1% BBSI-containing electrolyte sustain 81.30% of initial capacity after 300 cycles at 0.5C, and 88.27% of initial capacity even after 500 cycles at 2C/3C.

Summary: This study found that the addition of FEC to KIBs with hard carbon anodes results in a significant decrease in capacity and early cell failure, while electrolytes without FEC maintain high capacity retention over cycles. The decomposition of FEC during cycling leads to the formation of insoluble KF and K2CO3 on the anode surface, contributing to increased interfacial resistance in the cell. Insights from this research suggest that the electrolyte decomposition pathways in KIBs differ significantly from LIBs, indicating the need for new approaches to KIB electrolyte engineering.
