Impact of the Local Environment on Li Ion Transport in Inorganic Components of Solid Electrolyte Interphases

Taiping Hu et al.

Summary: The Li ion transport mechanism in amorphous LiF and Li2CO3, the major inorganic components of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), is investigated through machine-learning-potential-assisted molecular dynamics simulations. Results show that the Li ion diffusivity in amorphous LiF at room temperature cannot be accurately predicted based on high temperature diffusivities. The formation of Li-F regular tetrahedrons at low temperatures greatly suppresses the Li ion diffusivity, suggesting that designing an amorphous bulk LiF-based SEI is not beneficial for Li ion transport.

Insights into the Importance of Native Passivation Layer and Interface Reactivity of Metallic Lithium by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

Mohammed Srout et al.

Summary: Lithium-metal batteries have higher energy densities than lithium-ion batteries, but their practical use is limited by safety concerns. This study uses electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to analyze the EIS spectra of metallic lithium electrodes and finds that the charge-transfer impedance is a major component, strongly influenced by the native passivation layer and electrolyte properties. Asymmetry in the EIS spectra of symmetric cells is also identified when separating the contributions of the working and counter electrodes using three-electrode cells.

Deciphering and modulating energetics of solvation structure enables aggressive high-voltage chemistry of Li metal batteries

Zunchun Wu et al.

Summary: This study found that the coordination between Li+ and solvents determines the anodic stability of localized high-concentrated electrolytes (LHCEs) on high-voltage cathodes, which can be finely tuned by ambient diluents. Among the possible diluents, 2H,3H-decafluoropentane (HFC) was found to satisfy the principle of weak but sufficient interactions, which enhances Li+ coordination and offers excellent antioxidant chemistry. The study provides guiding principles for improving the cathodic and anodic stability of electrolytes, benefiting the development of LHCEs and inspiring next-generation lithium batteries formulation.

High-voltage liquid electrolytes for Li batteries: progress and perspectives

Xiulin Fan et al.

Summary: The energy density of LIBs has been increased threefold since their introduction, but the capacity of transition metal oxide cathodes is approaching its limit due to stability limitations of electrolytes. To further enhance energy density, new high-capacity and high-voltage cathode materials need to be explored, and graphite anodes may need to be replaced. One of the main challenges for future development is the development of new electrolyte compositions that can accommodate high-voltage cathodes and anodes while ensuring the stability of the batteries.
