Cation Co-Intercalation with Anions: The Origin of Low Capacities of Graphite Cathodes in Multivalent Electrolytes

Yuanyuan Yang et al.

Summary: In this study, it is revealed that the limited anion storage capacity of graphite cathodes in multivalent electrolytes is due to abnormal multivalent cation co-intercalation with large-sized anionic complexes. The phenomenon of cation co-intercalation into graphite is closely related to the high energy penalty of interfacial anion desolvation caused by strong cation-anion association in multivalent electrolytes. Promoting ionic dissociation in multivalent electrolytes using high-permittivity and oxidation-tolerant co-solvents effectively suppresses multivalent cation co-intercalation and increases the capacity of graphite cathodes.

Chemical Reaction Networks Explain Gas Evolution Mechanisms in Mg-Ion Batteries

Evan Walter Clark Spotte-Smith et al.

Summary: In this study, we combine computational chemical reaction network (CRN) analysis based on density functional theory (DFT) and differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy (DEMS) to study gas evolution from a model Mg-ion battery electrolyte. The results reveal H(2)O, C2H4, and CH3OH as major decomposition products, which are explained by identifying elementary reaction mechanisms using DFT. This combined theoretical-experimental approach provides a means to effectively predict electrolyte decomposition products and pathways when initially unknown.

Magnesium Battery Electrolytes with Improved Oxidative Stability Enabled by Selective Solvation in Fluorinated Solvents

Nathan T. Hahn et al.

Summary: Practical Mg batteries require electrolytes with stability towards both reduction by Mg metal and oxidation by high voltage cathodes. State-of-the-art Mg electrolytes based on weakly coordinating Mg salts use ether-type solvents for reductive stability, but their oxidative stabilities are not ideal. In this work, a selective solvation approach using a combination of glyme and hydrofluoroether solvents is reported to improve the oxidative stability while maintaining the reductive stability necessary for Mg cycling. The study also relates the coordination interactions among solvents and anions with Mg2+ to inform the design of future electrolytes.

Correlating Kinetics to Cyclability Reveals Thermodynamic Origin of Lithium Anode Morphology in Liquid Electrolytes

David T. Boyle et al.

Summary: The rechargeability of lithium metal batteries depends on the electrolyte, and the uniformity of the Li anode morphology is crucial for their performance. In this study, the authors investigate the correlation between electroplating kinetics and cyclability using various electrolytes, revealing the influence of electrolytes on morphology. They find that fast charge-transfer kinetics at the Li-electrolyte interfaces are associated with uniform morphology and good cyclability, while Li+ transport through the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) weakly correlates with cyclability. The results suggest that the Li/Li+ equilibrium potential and the surface energy, modulated by Li+ solvation, underlie the electrolyte-dependent trends of Li morphology. This work provides insights for electrolyte discovery, kinetics tuning, and understanding the advantages of weakly solvating fluorinated electrolytes for uniform Li plating.

Role of a Multivalent Ion-Solvent Interaction on Restricted Mg2+ Diffusion in Dimethoxyethane Electrolytes

Ying Chen et al.

Summary: The diffusion behavior of Mg2+ in electrolytes is not as readily accessible as that from Li+ or Na+ when utilizing PFG NMR due to low sensitivity, poor resolution, and rapid relaxation encountered in 25Mg NMR. The high activation enthalpy for exchange (65-70 kJ/mol) can be explained by the structural change of bound DME as evidenced by its reduced C-H bond length, which reveals a relative restriction to Mg2+ diffusion caused by long-range interactions with solvent molecules.
