Revealing the Correlation between the Solvation Structures and the Transport Properties of Water-in-Salt Electrolytes

Xinyi Liu et al.

Summary: The relation between solvation structures and transport properties of LiTFSI aqueous solutions was investigated using small-angle X-ray scattering, small-angle neutron scattering, X-ray pair distribution function measurements, and molecular dynamics simulations. It was found that solvation structures of TFSI- consist of solvent separated ion pairs and contact ion pairs, as well as cation-anion aggregates. The relaxation time associated with the anion network structure exhibited the same concentration dependence as the viscosity. This study provides insight into the correlation between solvation structures and transport properties of imide-based lithium-ion salt aqueous electrolytes.

Water-In-Salt LiTFSI Aqueous Electrolytes (2): Transport Properties and Li+ Dynamics Based on Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Yong Zhang et al.

Summary: The study of water-in-salt LiTFSI aqueous electrolytes using classical MD simulations showed that the transport properties matched previous experimental results at high salt concentrations. The high apparent transference number for Li+ was found to be due to the formation of a TFSI- network and the conduction of Li+ ions through a hopping mechanism in highly concentrated electrolytes.

Enhancing the performance of lithium oxygen batteries through combining redox mediating salts with a lithium protecting salt

Alireza Ahmadiparidari et al.

Summary: Li-O-2 batteries have been developed to meet the increasing demand for electric energy, with redox mediators playing a crucial role in improving energy efficiency and reducing overpotentials. By combining LiNO3, TEGDME, and an ionic liquid, the charge potential of LiI in the electrolyte can be lowered, leading to longer cycle life and improved cyclability of the battery system. Additional additives like LiNO3 can also enhance the performance of the batteries by forming a protective solid electrolyte interface on the anode.
