The study analyzed the impact of adding fluoro-ethylene carbonate (FEC) on the formation of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and battery performance in sodium ion half-cell batteries using X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The results suggest that FEC plays a significant role in determining the chemical environments of SEI, which in turn affects battery performance.
The solid electrolyte interface (SEI) forms from electrolyte decomposition during the initial discharge of half-cell batteries and is affected by the presence of electrolyte additives. Breaking down the initial discharge into stages, defined by voltage cut offs, can help discover the role of additives in SEI growth. In this study, X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is used to analyze the SEI formed on electrodeposited, binder free Cu2Sb thin films in sodium ion half-cell batteries. The presence of fluoro-ethylene carbonate (FEC), an electrolyte additive known to enhance battery lifetime, has a significant effect on the carbon is XPS spectra. The concentration of oxygenated carbon environments are dramatically decreased when FEC is added to the system. These environments were present in samples without FEC before significant electrochemistry was observed, potentially displaying the reactivity of sodium metal with conventional carbonate electrolytes to form the initial components of the SEI before the battery is cycled. The differences observed when FEC is added are likely the chemical environments of the SEI that have the dramatic effect on battery performance. Interestingly, these results suggest that the critical aspects of SEI formation are determined before the active material is sodiated, with FEC playing an integral role.
