Monolithic Interphase Enables Fast Kinetics for High-Performance Sodium-Ion Batteries at Subzero Temperature. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202403585. [PMID: 38565432 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202403585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
In spite of the competitive performance at room temperature, the development of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is still hindered by sluggish electrochemical reaction kinetics and unstable electrode/electrolyte interphase under subzero environments. Herein, a low-concentration electrolyte, consisting of 0.5M NaPF6 dissolving in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether solvent, is proposed for SIBs working at low temperature. Such an electrolyte generates a thin, amorphous, and homogeneous cathode/electrolyte interphase at low temperature. The interphase is monolithic and rich in organic components, reducing the limitation of Na+ migration through inorganic crystals, thereby facilitating the interfacial Na+ dynamics at low temperature. Furthermore, it effectively blocks the unfavorable side reactions between active materials and electrolytes, improving the structural stability. Consequently, Na0.7Li0.03Mg0.03Ni0.27Mn0.6Ti0.07O2//Na and hard carbon//Na cells deliver a high capacity retention of 90.8 % after 900 cycles at 1C, a capacity over 310 mAh g-1 under -30 °C, respectively, showing long-term cycling stability and great rate capability at low temperature.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries, typically represented by lithium-ion batteries, have taken a huge leap in energy density over the last two decades. However, they still face material/chemical challenges in ensuring safety and long service life at temperatures beyond the optimum range, primarily due to the chemical/electrochemical instabilities of conventional liquid electrolytes against aggressive electrode reactions and temperature variation. In this regard, a gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) with its liquid components immobilized and stabilized by a solid matrix, capable of retaining almost all the advantageous natures of the liquid electrolytes and circumventing the interfacial issues that exist in the all-solid-state electrolytes, is of great significance to realize rechargeable batteries with extended working temperature range. We begin this review with the main challenges faced in the development of GPEs, based on extensive literature research and our practical experience. Then, a significant section is dedicated to the requirements and design principles of GPEs for wide-temperature applications, with special attention paid to the feasibility, cost, and environmental impact. Next, the research progress of GPEs is thoroughly reviewed according to the strategies applied. In the end, we outline some prospects of GPEs related to innovations in material sciences, advanced characterizations, artificial intelligence, and environmental impact analysis, hoping to spark new research activities that ultimately bring us a step closer to realizing wide-temperature rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
We demonstrate that an ionic liquid 1-ethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide combined with propylene carbonate and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide yields a hybrid electrolyte that enables a wide operational temperature window (-20 °C to 60 °C). When integrated into a lithium titanate‖lithium cobalt oxide full-cell configuration, high-rate capability is achieved at -20 °C with >40% retention at a C/2 cycling rate, and negligible capacity fade is observed during rate capability tests and long-term cycling at 60 °C.

Abstract
Zinc-ion batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage, and gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) play an important role in zinc-ion battery applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are characterized by large specific surface areas and ordered pores. This highly ordered microporous structure provides a continuous transport channel for ions, thus realizing the high-speed transmission of ions. In this paper, an MOF-modified dendrite-free GPE was designed. The incorporation of MOF particles not only reduces the crystallinity of the polymer, increases the motility of the molecular chains, and facilitates the transfer of Zn2+, but also attracts anions to reduce polarization during electrochemical reactions. It was shown that this MOF-modified gel polymer electrolyte has a higher ionic conductivity compared to other PVDF-based polymer electrolytes (approximate range of 2 × 10-4 to 3 × 10-3 S cm-1), with a very high conductivity (1.63 mS cm-1) even at -20 °C. The Zn/Zn symmetric cell could maintain operation for more than 3600 h at a current density of 1 mA cm-2, and SEM showed that the MOF-modified gel electrolyte had uniform Zn2+ deposition.

Abstract
The shortage of resources such as lithium and cobalt has promoted the development of novel battery systems with low cost, abundance, high performance, and efficient environmental adaptability. Due to the abundance and low cost of sodium, sodium-ion battery chemistry has drawn worldwide attention in energy storage systems. It is widely considered that wide-temperature tolerance sodium-ion batteries (WT-SIBs) can be rapidly developed due to their unique electrochemical and chemical properties. However, WT-SIBs, especially for their electrode materials and electrolyte systems, still face various challenges in harsh-temperature conditions. In this review, we focus on the achievements, failure mechanisms, fundamental chemistry, and scientific challenges of WT-SIBs. The insights of their design principles, current research, and safety issues are presented. Moreover, the possible future research directions on the battery materials for WT-SIBs are deeply discussed. Progress toward a comprehensive understanding of the emerging chemistry for WT-SIBs comprehensively discussed in this review will accelerate the practical applications of wide-temperature tolerance rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Improving the wide-temperature operation of rechargeable batteries is crucial for boosting the adoption of electric vehicles and further advancing their application scope in harsh environments like deep ocean and space probes. Herein, recent advances in electrolyte solvation chemistry are critically summarized, aiming to address the long-standing challenge of notable energy diminution at sub-zero temperatures and rapid capacity degradation at elevated temperatures (>45°C). This review provides an in-depth analysis of the fundamental mechanisms governing the Li-ion transport process, illustrating how these insights have been effectively harnessed to synergize with high-capacity, high-rate electrodes. Another critical part highlights the interplay between solvation chemistry and interfacial reactions, as well as the stability of the resultant interphases, particularly in batteries employing ultrahigh-nickel layered oxides as cathodes and high-capacity Li/Si materials as anodes. The detailed examination reveals how these factors are pivotal in mitigating the rapid capacity fade, thereby ensuring a long cycle life, superior rate capability, and consistent high-/low-temperature performance. In the latter part, a comprehensive summary of in situ/operational analysis is presented. This holistic approach, encompassing innovative electrolyte design, interphase regulation, and advanced characterization, offers a comprehensive roadmap for advancing battery technology in extreme environmental conditions.

Abstract
Predicting ionic conductivity is crucial for developing efficient electrolytes for energy storage and conversion and other electrochemical applications. An accurate estimate of ionic conductivity requires understanding complex ion-ion and ion-solvent interactions governing the charge transport at the molecular level. Molecular simulations can provide key insights into the spatial and temporal behavior of electrolyte constituents. However, such insights depend on the ability of force fields to describe the underlying phenomena. In this work, molecular dynamics simulations were leveraged to delineate the impact of force field parameters on ionic conductivity predictions of potassium hydroxide (KOH) in ethylene glycol (EG). Four different force fields were used to represent the K+ ion. Diffusion-based Nernst-Einstein and correlation-based Einstein approaches were implemented to estimate the ionic conductivity, and the predicted values were compared with experimental measurements. The physical aspects, including ion-aggregation, charge distribution, cluster correlation, and cluster dynamics, were also examined. A force field was identified that provides reasonably accurate Einstein conductivity values and a physically coherent representation of the electrolyte at the molecular level.

Abstract
Due to the ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh g-1) and low redox potential (-3.04 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), Lithium (Li) metal anode (LMA) received increasing attentions. However, notorious dendrite and volume expansion during the cycling process seriously hinder the development of high energy density Li metal batteries. Constructing three-dimensional (3D) current collectors for Li can fundamentally solve the intrinsic drawback of hostless for Li. Therefore, this review systematically introduces the design and synthesis engineering and the current development status of different 3D collectors in recent years (the current collectors are divided into two major parts: metal-based current collectors and carbon-based current collectors). In the end, some perspectives of the future promotion for LMA application are also presented.

Abstract
The renewable energy industry demands rechargeable batteries that can be manufactured at low cost using abundant resources while offering high energy density, good safety, wide operating temperature windows, and long lifespans. Utilizing fluorine chemistry to redesign battery configurations/components is considered a critical strategy to fulfill these requirements due to the natural abundance, robust bond strength, and extraordinary electronegativity of fluorine and the high free energy of fluoride formation, which enables the fluorinated components with cost effectiveness, nonflammability, and intrinsic stability. In particular, fluorinated materials and electrode|electrolyte interphases have been demonstrated to significantly affect reaction reversibility/kinetics, safety, and temperature tolerance of rechargeable batteries. However, the underlining principles governing material design and the mechanistic insights of interphases at the atomic level have been largely overlooked. This review covers a wide range of topics from the exploration of fluorine-containing electrodes, fluorinated electrolyte constituents, and other fluorinated battery components for metal-ion shuttle batteries to constructing fluoride-ion batteries, dual-ion batteries, and other new chemistries. In doing so, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure-property interactions, the features of fluorinated interphases, and cutting-edge techniques for elucidating the role of fluorine chemistry in rechargeable batteries. Further, we present current challenges and promising strategies for employing fluorine chemistry, aiming to advance the electrochemical performance, wide temperature operation, and safety attributes of rechargeable batteries.

Due to flexible structure tunability and abundant structure diversity, redox-active polymers are promising cathode materials for developing affordable and sustainable Na-ion batteries (NIBs). However, polymer cathodes still suffer from low capacity, poor cycle life, and sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, we designed and synthesized a polymer cathode material bearing carbonyl and azo groups as well as extended conjugation structures in the repeating units. The polymer cathode exhibited exceptional electrochemical performance in NIBs in terms of high capacity, long lifetime, and fast kinetics. When coupled with a low-concentration electrolyte, it shows superior performance at low temperatures down to -50 °C, demonstrating great promise for low-temperature battery applications. Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to study the reaction mechanism, interphase structure, and morphological evolution, confirming reversible redox reactions between azo/carbonyl groups in the polymer and Na+/electrons, a NaF-rich interphase, and high structure stability upon cycling. This work provides an effective approach to developing high-performance polymer cathodes for affordable, sustainable, and low-temperature NIBs.

Abstract
Low-temperature performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has always posed a significant challenge, limiting their wide application in cold environments. In this work, the high-performance LIBs working under ultralow-temperature conditions, which is achieved by employing the weak-solvation and low-viscosity isobutyronitrile as a cosolvent to tame the affinity between solvents and lithium ions, is reported. The as-prepared electrolytes exhibit a sufficiently high conductivity (1.152 mS cm-1 ) at -70 °C. The electrolytes enable LiCoO2 cathode and graphite anode to achieve high Coulombic efficiency of >99.9% during long-term cycling at room temperature, and to respectively achieve 75.8% and 100.0% of their room-temperature capacities at -40 °C. Even the LiCoO2 //graphite pouch cells can retain 68.7% of the room-temperature capacity when discharged at -70 °C, and present stable cycling performance at -40 and 60 °C. This work provides a solution for the development of advanced electrolytes to enable LIBs working at wide-temperatures range.

Abstract
High-performance sodium storage at low temperature is urgent with the increasingly stringent demand for energy storage systems. However, the aggravated capacity loss is induced by the sluggish interfacial kinetics, which originates from the interfacial Na+ desolvation. Herein, all-fluorinated anions with ultrahigh electron donicity, trifluoroacetate (TFA-), are introduced into the diglyme (G2)-based electrolyte for the anion-reinforced solvates in a wide temperature range. The unique solvation structure with TFA- anions and decreased G2 molecules occupying the inner sheath accelerates desolvation of Na+ to exhibit decreased desolvation energy from 4.16 to 3.49 kJ mol-1 and 24.74 to 16.55 kJ mol-1 beyond and below -20 °C, respectively, compared with that in 1.0 M NaPF6-G2. These enable the cell of Na||Na3V2(PO4)3 to deliver 60.2% of its room-temperature capacity and high capacity retention of 99.2% after 100 cycles at -40 °C. This work highlights regulation of solvation chemistry for highly stable sodium-ion batteries at low temperature.

Abstract
Low temperatures severely impair the performance of lithium-ion batteries, which demand powerful electrolytes with wide liquidity ranges, facilitated ion diffusion, and lower desolvation energy. The keys lie in establishing mild interactions between Li+ and solvent molecules internally, which are hard to achieve in commercial ethylene-carbonate based electrolytes. Herein, we tailor the solvation structure with low-ε solvent-dominated coordination, and unlock ethylene-carbonate via electronegativity regulation of carbonyl oxygen. The modified electrolyte exhibits high ion conductivity (1.46 mS·cm-1) at -90 °C, and remains liquid at -110 °C. Consequently, 4.5 V graphite-based pouch cells achieve ~98% capacity over 200 cycles at -10 °C without lithium dendrite. These cells also retain ~60% of their room-temperature discharge capacity at -70 °C, and miraculously retain discharge functionality even at ~-100 °C after being fully charged at 25 °C. This strategy of disrupting solvation dominance of ethylene-carbonate through molecular charge engineering, opens new avenues for advanced electrolyte design.

Abstract
Electrolyte design holds the greatest opportunity for the development of batteries that are capable of sub-zero temperature operation. To get the most energy storage out of the battery at low temperatures, improvements in electrolyte chemistry need to be coupled with optimized electrode materials and tailored electrolyte/electrode interphases. Herein, this review critically outlines electrolytes' limiting factors, including reduced ionic conductivity, large de-solvation energy, sluggish charge transfer, and slow Li-ion transportation across the electrolyte/electrode interphases, which affect the low-temperature performance of Li-metal batteries. Detailed theoretical derivations that explain the explicit influence of temperature on battery performance are presented to deepen understanding. Emerging improvement strategies from the aspects of electrolyte design and electrolyte/electrode interphase engineering are summarized and rigorously compared. Perspectives on future research are proposed to guide the ongoing exploration for better low-temperature Li-metal batteries.

Abstract
Propylene carbonate (PC) is a promising solvent for extending the operating temperature range for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high dielectric constant and wide temperature range stability. However, PC can cause graphite exfoliation through cointercalation, leading to electrolyte decomposition and subsequent irreversible capacity loss. This work reports the formulation of a ternary electrolyte with the introduction of an inorganic salt additive, potassium hexafluorophosphate (KPF6), to address the aforementioned concerns. We demonstrate the cumulative effect of solvent and additive on delivering multiple performance benefits and safety of the battery. The faster diffusion rate of K + solvation shell decreases the rate of PC decomposition, thereby reducing its cointercalation. Additionally, the optimum concentration of KPF6, i.e., 0.1 M constructs a robust and insoluble LiF-rich electrode/electrolyte interphase, further suppressing graphite exfoliation and Li dendrite formation. The stable cyclability is achieved by enhanced Li + transportation through the LiF-rich interphase, enabling an exfoliation-free and dendrite-free graphite anode in the ternary electrolyte.

Abstract
Current lithium-ion batteries degrade under high rates and low temperatures due to the use of carbonate electrolytes with restricted Li+ conduction and sluggish Li+ desolvation. Herein, a strong solvent with dual lithium salts surmounts the thermodynamic limitations by regulating interactions among Li+ ions, anions, and solvents at the molecular level. Highly dissociated lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) in dimethyl sulfite (DMS) solvent with a favorable dielectric constant and melting point ensures rapid Li+ conduction while the high affinity between difluoro(oxalato)borate anions (DFOB-) and Li+ ions guarantees smooth Li+ desolvation within a wide temperature range. In the meantime, the ultrathin self-limited electrode/electrolyte interface and the electric double layer induced by DFOB- result in enhanced electrode compatibility. The as-formulated electrolyte enables stable cycles at high currents (41.3 mA cm-2) and a wide temperature range from -78 to 60 °C. The 1 Ah graphite||LiCoO2 (2 mAh cm-2) pouch cell achieves 80% reversible capacity at 2 C rate under -20 °C and 86% reversible capacity at 0.1 C rate under -50 °C. This work sheds new light on the electrolyte design with strong solvent and dual lithium salts and further facilitates the development of high-performance lithium-ion batteries operating under extreme conditions.

Abstract
Understanding the limitations of electrolyte mixtures under extreme conditions is key to ensure reliable and safe battery performance. Among advanced characterization methods, time-of-flight neutron imaging (ToF-NI) is unique for its capability to map physicochemical changes of H-containing materials inside metallic casings and battery packs. The technique, however, requires long exposures in pulsed sources, which limits its applicability, particularly for analysis at low temperatures. To overcome these limitations, we use high-duty cycle ToF-NI at a continuous source, demonstrating its capability to expose physical and chemical changes of electrolytes due to variations in the overall molecular diffusion. The strategy described in this work reduces the exposure required and provides the baseline to study the thermal stability of electrolyte mixtures, from the proofing of state-of-the-art electrolyte mixtures up to their performance in batteries. This analysis and methodology apply to hydrogenous materials well beyond electrolytes for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
The efficient operation of metal-ion batteries in harsh environments, such as at temperatures below -20 °C or at high charge/discharge rates required for EV applications, calls for a careful selection of electrode materials. In this study, we report advantages associated with the solid solution (de)intercalation over the two-phase (de)intercalation pathway and identify the main sources of performance limitations originating from the two mechanisms. To isolate the (de)intercalation pathway as the main variable, we focused on two cathode materials for Na-ion batteries: a recently developed KTiOPO4-type NaVPO4F and a well-studied Na3V2(PO4)2F3. These materials have the same elemental composition, operate within the same potential range, and demonstrate very close ionic diffusivities, yet follow different (de)intercalation routes. To avoid any interpretation uncertainties, we obtained these materials in the form of particles with merely identical morphology and size. A detailed electrochemical study revealed a much lower capacity and energy density retention for phase-transforming Na3V2(PO4)2F3 compared to NaVPO4F, which exhibits a single-phase behavior over a wide range of Na concentrations. The reasons for the inferior rate capability and temperature tolerance for the phase-separating Na3V2(PO4)2F3 material should be affiliated with slow phase boundary propagation. We hope that the comprehensive information on limiting factors provided for both mechanisms is useful for the further optimization of electrode materials toward a new generation of high-power and low-temperature metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
Spectral neutron imaging methods provide valuable insights into the characterization of hydrogenous materials, including battery electrolytes. However, their application is constrained by sample geometry, setup parameters, and material chemistries, especially when studying physico-chemical changes in battery electrolytes. To address these limitations, we present a framework for simulating and optimizing the investigation of hydrogenous materials. Our approach combines quantitative modeling with experimental data to predict and optimize the contrast achievable in wavelength-resolved neutron imaging methods, thereby maximizing the information obtained in specific neutron imaging setups. While initially demonstrated at the BOA beamline of the Paul Scherrer Institute, this framework is applicable to any continuous source with spectral neutron imaging capabilities with a chopper disk. This work establishes a pathway for accurate studies of hydrogenous materials and their physico-chemical behavior, paving the way for advancements in the field of material characterization with wavelength-resolved neutron imaging.

Abstract
High-performance Li-ion/metal batteries working at a low temperature (i.e., <-20 °C) are desired but hindered by the sluggish kinetics associated with Li+ transport and charge transfer. Herein, the temperature-dependent Li+ behavior during Li plating is profiled by various characterization techniques, suggesting that Li+ diffusion through the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer is the key rate-determining step. Lowering the temperature not only slows down Li+ transport, but also alters the thermodynamic reaction of electrolyte decomposition, resulting in different reaction pathways and forming an SEI layer consisting of intermediate products rich in organic species. Such an SEI layer is metastable and unsuitable for efficient Li+ transport. By tuning the solvation structure of the electrolyte with a lower lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level and polar groups, such as fluorinated electrolytes like 1 mol L-1 lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) in methyl trifluoroacetate (MTFA): fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) (8:2, weight ratio), an inorganic-rich SEI layer more readily forms, which exhibits enhanced tolerance to a change of working temperature (thermodynamics) and improved Li+ transport (kinetics). Our findings uncover the kinetic bottleneck for Li+ transport at low temperature and provide directions to enhance the reaction kinetics/thermodynamics and low-temperature performance by constructing inorganic-rich interphases.

Abstract
Silicon-based anode materials have been applied in lithium-ion batteries with high energy density. However, developing electrolytes that can meet the specific requirements of these batteries at low temperatures still remains a challenge. Herein, we report the effect of linear carboxylic ester ethyl propionate (EP), as the co-solvent in a carbonate-based electrolyte, on SiO x /graphite (SiOC) composite anodes. Using electrolytes with EP, the anode provides better electrochemical performance at both low temperatures and ambient temperature, showing a capacity of 680.31 mA h g-1 at -50 °C and 0.1C (63.66% retention relative to that at 25 °C), and a capacity retention of 97.02% after 100 cycles at 25 °C and 0.5C. Within the EP-containing electrolyte, SiOC‖LiCoO2 full cells also exhibit superior cycling stability at -20 °C for 200 cycles. These substantial improvements of the EP co-solvent at low temperatures are probably due to its involvement to form a solid electrolyte interphase with high integrity and facile transport kinetics in electrochemical processes.

Abstract
The electrochemical performances of lithium metal batteries are determined by the kinetics of interfacial de-solvation and ion transport, especially at low-temperature environments. Here, a novel electrolyte that easily de-solvated and conducive to interfacial film formation is designed for low-temperature lithium metal batteries. A fluorinated carboxylic ester, diethyl fluoromalonate (DEFM), and a fluorinated carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) are used as solvents, while high concentrated lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) is served as the solute. Through tailoring the electrolyte formulation, the lithium ions in the high concentrated fluorinated carboxylic ester electrolyte are mainly combined with anions, which weakens the bonding strength of lithium ions and solvent molecules in the solvation structure, beneficial to the de-solvation process at low temperature. The fluorinated carboxylic ester (FCE) electrolyte enables the LiFePO4 (LFP) | Li half-cell achieves a high capacity of 91.9 mAh g-1 at -30 °C, with high F content in the interface. With optimized de-solvation kinetics, the LFP | Li full cell remains over 100 mAh g-1 at 0 °C after cycling 100 cycles. Building new solvents with outstanding low-temperature properties and weaker solvation to match with Li metal anode, this work brings new possibilities of realizing high energy density and low temperature energy storage batteries.

Abstract
Hard carbons, as one of the most commercializable anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), have to deal with the trade-off between the rate capability and specific capacity or initial Columbic efficiency (ICE), and the fast performance decline at low temperature (LT) remains poorly understood. Here, a comprehensive regulation on the interfacial/bulk electrochemistry of hard carbons through atomic Zn doping is reported, which demonstrates a record-high reversible capacity (546 mAh g-1 ), decent ICE (84%), remarkable rate capability (140 mAh g-1 @ 50 A g-1 ), and excellent LT capacity (443 mAh g-1 @ -40 °C), outperforming the state-of-the-art literature. This work reveals that the Zn doping can generally induce a local electric field to enable fast bulk Na+ transportation, and meanwhile catalyze the decomposition of NaPF6 to form a robust inorganic-rich solid-electrolyte interphase, which elaborates the underlying origin of the boosted electrochemical performance. Importantly, distinguished from room temperature, the intrinsic Na+ migration/desolvation ability of the electrolyte is disclosed to be the crucial rate-determining factors for the SIB performance at LT. This work provides a fundamental understanding on the charge-storage kinetics at varied temperatures.

Abstract
Recent developments in flexible electronics have heightened the need for electrolytes with high safety, ionic conductivity, and electrochemical stability. However, neither conventional organic electrolytes nor aqueous electrolytes can meet the above requirements simultaneously. Herein, a novel "water-in-deep eutectic solvent" gel (WIDG) electrolyte synergistically controlled by the solvation regulation and gelation strategies is reported. The water molecules introduced into deep eutectic solvent (DES) participate in the solvation structure regulation of Li+, thus endowing the WIDG electrolyte with high safety, thermal stability, and outstanding electrochemical performance, including high ionic conductivity (∼1.23 mS cm-1) and a wide electrochemical window (∼5.4 V). Besides, the polymer in the gel interacts with DES and H2O, further optimizing the electrolyte with excellent mechanical strength and higher operating voltage. Benefiting from these advantages, the lithium-ion capacitor constructed by WIDG electrolyte presents a high areal capacitance of 246 mF cm-2 with an energy density of 87.3 μWh cm-2. The use of the gel enhances the electrode structure stability, resulting in desirable cycling stability (>90% capacity retention after 1400 cycles). Moreover, the WIDG-assembled sensor exhibits high sensitivity and rapid real-time detection of motion. This work will provide guidelines for designing high-safety and high-operating-voltage electrolytes for flexible electronics.

Abstract
Li-ion batteries (LIBs) that can operate under low temperature (LT) conditions are essential for applications in orbital missions, subsea areas, and electric vehicles. Unfortunately, severe capacity loss is witnessed due to tremendous kinetic barriers that emerge at LT. Herein, to surmount such kinetic limitations, a low dielectric environment is tamed throughout the bulk electrolyte, which efficaciously brought the Li+ desolvation energy down to 30.76 kJ mol-1 . At the meantime, the adoption of sodium cations (Na+ ) is proposed as a hetero-cation additive, and a Li-Na hybrid and fluoride-rich interphase is further identified via preferential reduction of Na+ -(solvent/anion) clusters, which is found to efficiently facilitate Li+ migration through the LiF/NaF grain boundaries. Based on a N/P ratio of 1.1, the graphite/LiNi0.5 Co0.2 Mn0.3 O2 (NCM) full cell (cathode loading of ≈18.5 mg cm-2 ) delivers a capacity as high as 125.1 mAh g-1 under -20 °C with prolonged cycling to 100 cycles. Finally, a 270 Wh kg-1 graphite/NCM pouch cell is assembled, which affords a discharge capacity of 108.7 mAh g-1 under -40 °C during the initial cycles. With an eye to both fundamental and practical aspects, this work will propel additional advancements and allow LIBs to fill more roles under extreme operation temperatures than ever before.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become the preferred battery system for portable electronic devices and transportation equipment due to their high specific energy, good cycling performance, low self-discharge, and absence of memory effect. However, excessively low ambient temperatures will seriously affect the performance of LIBs, which are almost incapable of discharging at -40~-60 °C. There are many factors affecting the low-temperature performance of LIBs, and one of the most important is the electrode material. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop electrode materials or modify existing materials in order to obtain excellent low-temperature LIB performance. A carbon-based anode is one candidate for use in LIBs. In recent years, it has been found that the diffusion coefficient of lithium ion in graphite anodes decreases more obviously at low temperatures, which is an important factor limiting its low-temperature performance. However, the structure of amorphous carbon materials is complex; they have good ionic diffusion properties, and their grain size, specific surface area, layer spacing, structural defects, surface functional groups, and doping elements may have a greater impact on their low-temperature performance. In this work, the low-temperature performance of LIBs was achieved by modifying the carbon-based material from the perspectives of electronic modulation and structural engineering.

Abstract
Cyclic ethers are promising solvents for low-temperature electrolytes, but they still suffer from intrinsic poor antioxidant abilities. Until now, ether-based electrolytes have been rarely reported for high-voltage sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) operated under a low-temperature range. Herein, a novel ether-based electrolyte consisting of tetrahydrofuran as the main solvent is proposed and it could be utilized for a high-voltage Na2/3Mn2/3Ni1/3O2 (MN) cathode in a wide-temperature range from -40 to 25 °C. Meanwhile, a thin and robust inorganic component-rich cathode electrolyte interface layer is elaborately introduced on the MN cathode by this tailored electrolyte, resulting in excellent cycle life of MN cathode. Specifically, a capacity retention of 97.2% after 140 cycles could be delivered by MN at 0.3 C at room temperature (RT). Especially at an ultra-low temperature of -40 °C, the initial discharge capacity of MN could still approach 89.3% of that at RT, and the capacity retention is 94.1% at 0.2 C after 100 cycles. This work provides a new insight into the rational design of ether-based electrolytes for high-voltage and stable SIBs operated in a wide-temperature range.

Abstract
Lithium (Li)-metal batteries promise energy density beyond 400 Wh kg-1 , while their practical operation at an extreme temperature below -30 °C suffers severe capacity deterioration. Such battery failure highly relates to the remarkably increased kinetic barrier of interfacial processes, including interfacial desolvation, ion transportation, and charge transfer. In this work, the interfacial kinetics in three prototypical electrolytes are quantitatively probed by three-electrode electrochemical techniques and molecular dynamics simulations. Desolvation as the limiting step of interfacial processes is validated to dominate the cell impedance and capacity at low temperature. 1,3-Dioxolane-based electrolyte with tamed solvent-solute interaction facilitates fast desolvation, enabling the practical Li|LiNi0.5 Co0.2 Mn0.3 O2 cells at -40 °C to retain 66% of room-temperature capacity and withstand remarkably fast charging rate (0.3 C). The barrier of desolvation dictated by solvent-solute interaction environments is quantitatively uncovered. Regulating the solvent-solute interaction by low-affinity solvents emerges as a promising solution to low-temperature batteries.

Weakly solvated EC-free linear alkyl carbonate electrolytes for Ni-rich cathode in rechargeable lithium battery. iScience 2022; 25:105710. [PMID: 36578317 PMCID: PMC9791360 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2022.105710] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Revised: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Ethylene carbonate (EC) in the electrolyte is not stable in cells operated at high voltage (≥4.4V) or with Li metal anode, which greatly reduce the energy density and lifetime of the rechargeable lithium battery. Herein, an EC-free linear alkyl carbonate-based electrolyte is developed, which enables the high-voltage (≥4.4V) and low-temperature (-30°C) application of Ni-rich cathode (LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2, NCM811). The EC-free system, consisting of LiPF6 and LiNO3 in ternary linear alkyl carbonates, possesses low viscosity, weakly solvated structure, and high interfacial stability with both the Ni-rich cathode and the Li metal anode to avoid continuous electrode/electrolyte side reactions and metal dissolution from the cathode. As a result, the Li||NCM811 cell delivers remarkable capacity retention of 93 ± 0.5% at the voltage of 4.4V and 88 ± 0.6% at 4.5V over 100 cycles. This study provides very encouraging perspective to develop EC-free carbonate-based electrolyte for high-voltage and low-temperature application in high-energy-density rechargeable lithium batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are at the forefront of energy storage and highly demanded in consumer electronics due to their high energy density, long battery life, and great flexibility. However, LIBs usually suffer from obvious capacity reduction, security problems, and a sharp decline in cycle life under low temperatures, especially below 0 °C, which can be mainly ascribed to the decrease in Li+ diffusion coefficient in both electrodes and electrolyte, poor transfer kinetics on the interphase, high Li+ desolvation barrier in the electrolyte, and severe Li plating and dendrite. Targeting such issues, approaches to improve the kinetics and stability of cathodes are also dissected, followed by the evaluation of the application prospects and modifications between various anodes and the strategies of electrolyte design including cosolvent, blended Li salts, high-concentration electrolyte, and additive introduction. Such designs elucidate the successful exploration of low-temperature LIBs with high energy density and long lifespan. This review prospects the future paths of research for LIBs under cold environments, aiming to provide insightful guidance for the reasonable design of LIBs under low temperature, accelerating their widespread application and commercialization.

Abstract
Silicon is considered as one of the ideal anode materials for the new generation of lithium-ion batteries due to its extremely high theoretical specific capacity. Nevertheless, in the actual charging and discharging process, the Si electrode will lose its electrochemical performance due to the huge volume change of Si nanoparticles resulting in detachment from the surface of the fluid collector. The polymer binder can bond the Si nanoparticles together in a three-dimensional cross-linking network, which can thus effectively prevent the Si nanoparticles from falling off the surface of the fluid collector due to the drastic change of volume during the charging and discharging process. Therefore, this study developed a new polymer binder based on electrostatic interaction with hyperbranched polyethylenimine (HPEI) as the main body and water-soluble carboxylated polyethylene glycol (CPEG) as the cross-linker, where the degree of cross-linking can be easily optimized by adjusting the pH value. The results demonstrate that, when the density of positive and negative charges in the binder is relatively balanced at pH 7, the stability of the battery's charge-discharge cycle is significantly improved. After 200 cycles of constant current charge-discharge test, the specific capacity retention rate is 63.3%.

Abstract
Sub-freezing temperature presents a significant challenge to the survival of current Li-ion batteries (LIBs) as it leads to low capacity retention and poor cell rechargeability. The electrolyte in commercial LIBs relies too heavily on ethylene carbonate (EC) to produce a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on graphite (Gr) anodes, but its high melting point (36.4 °C) severely restricts ion transport below 0 °C, causing energy loss and Li plating. Here, a class of EC-free electrolytes that exhibits remarkable low-temperature performance without compromising cell lifespan is reported. It is found that at sub-zero temperatures, EC forms highly resistive SEI that seriously impedes electrode kinetics, whereas EC-free electrolytes create a highly stable, low-impedance SEI through anion decomposition, which boosts capacity retention and eliminates Li plating during charging. Pouch-type LiCoO2 (LCO)|Gr cells with EC-free electrolytes sustain 900 cycles at 25 °C with 1 C charge/discharge, and LiNi0.85 Co0.10 Al0.05 O2 (NCA)|Gr cells last 300 cycles at -15 °C with 0.3 C charge, both among the best-performing in the literature under comparable conditions. Even at -50 °C, the NCA|Gr cell with EC-free electrolytes still delivers 76% of its room-temperature capacity, outperforming EC-based electrolytes.

Abstract
Solvent-solvent and solvent-anion pairings in battery electrolytes have been identified for the first time by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These hitherto unknown interactions are enabled by the hydrogen bonding induced by the strong Lewis acid Li+ , and exist between the electron-deficient hydrogen (δ+ H) present in the solvent molecules and either other solvent molecules or negatively-charged anions. Complementary with the well-established strong but short-ranged Coulombic interactions between cation and solvent molecules, such weaker but longer-ranged hydrogen-bonding casts the formation of an extended liquid structure in electrolytes that is influenced by their components (solvents, additives, salts, and concentration), which in turn dictates the ion transport within bulk electrolytes and across the electrolyte-electrode interfaces. The discovery of this new inter-component force completes the picture of how electrolyte components interact and arrange themselves, sets the foundation to design better electrolytes on the fundamental level, and probes battery performances.

Abstract
Localized high-concentration electrolytes (LHCEs) provide a new way to expand multifunctional electrolytes because of their unique physicochemical properties. LHCEs are generated when high-concentration electrolytes (HCEs) are diluted by antisolvents, while the effect of antisolvents on the lithium-ion solvation structure is negligible. Herein, using one-dimensional infrared spectroscopy and theoretical calculations, we explore the significance of antisolvents in the model electrolyte lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide/dimethyl carbonate (LiFSI/DMC) with hydrofluoroether. We clarify that the role of antisolvent is more than dilution; it is also the formation of a low-dielectric environment and intensification of the inductive effect on the C=O moiety of DMC caused by the antisolvent, which decrease the binding energy of the Li+···solvent and Li+···anion interactions. It also has beneficial effects on interfacial ion desolvation and Li+ transport. Furthermore, antisolvents also favor reducing the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level of the solvated clusters, and FSI- anions show a decreased reduction stability. Consequently, the influence of antisolvents on the interfacial chemical and electrochemical activities of solvation structures cannot be ignored. This finding introduces a new way to improve battery performance.

Abstract
Engineering the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) that forms on the electrode is crucial for achieving high performance in metal-ion batteries. However, the mechanism of SEI formation resulting from electrolyte decomposition is not fully understood at the molecular scale. Herein, a new strategy of switching electrolyte to tune SEI properties is presented, by which a unique and thinner SEI can be pre-formed on the graphite electrode first in an ether-based electrolyte, and then the as-designed graphite electrode can demonstrate extremely high-rate capabilities in a carbonate-based electrolyte, enabling the design of fast-charging and wide-temperature lithium-ion batteries (e.g., graphite | LiNi0.6 Co0.2 Mn0.2 O2 (NCM622)). A molecular interfacial model involving the conformations and electrochemical stabilities of the Li+ -solvent-anion complex is presented to elucidate the differences in SEI formation between ether-based and carbonate-based electrolytes, then interpreting the reason for the obtained higher rate performances. This innovative concept combines the advantages of different electrolytes into one battery system. It is believed that the switching strategy and understanding of the SEI formation mechanism opens a new avenue to design SEI, which is universal for pursuing more versatile battery systems with greater stability.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) typically suffer from large irreversible capacities caused by active lithium loss during formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) at the anode side. Cathode prelithiation with preloaded additives has emerged as an effective strategy to solve the above issue. With ultrahigh theoretical capacity, Li2O2 serves as an excellent cathode prelithiation additive, whereas poor ambient stability limits its further development. In this study, we report a surface protection strategy to enable ambient processing of the Li2O2 additive. Li2O2 is well confined in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanofibers (P-Li2O2) via electrospinning, which exhibits greatly enhanced ambient stability compared with the unprotected one. Notably, when P-Li2O2 is preloaded in LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 cathodes (NCM-P-Li2O2), PMMA nanofibers remain stable during cathode slurry processing but readily dissolve in electrolytes and expose Li2O2 for effective electrochemical oxidation. Fabrication of P-Li2O2 allows systematic investigation of prelithiation behavior in full cells (NCM-P-Li2O2 cathodes paired with Si/Graphite anodes) and its impact on the electrochemical performance. Rational tuning of the prelithiation degree provides guidance for optimizing the amount of the cathode additive, which brings appealing cell lifetime and energy density.

Abstract
In recent years, with the vigorous development and gradual deployment of new energy vehicles, more attention has been paid to the research on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Compared with the booming LIBs, lithium primary batteries (LPBs) own superiority in specific energy and self-discharge rate and are usually applied in special fields such as medical implantation, aerospace, and military. Widespread application in special fields also means more stringent requirements for LPBs in terms of energy density, working temperature range and shelf life. Therefore, how to obtain LPBs with high energy density, wide operational temperature range and long storage life is of great importance in future development. In view of the above, this paper reviews the latest research on LPBs in cathode, anode and electrolyte over the years, and puts forward relevant insights for LPBs, along with the intention to explore avenues for the design of LPBs components in the coming decades and promote further development in this field.

Abstract
As one of the most competitive candidates for the next-generation energy storage systems, the emerging rechargeable zinc metal battery (ZMB) is inevitably influenced by beyond-room-temperature conditions, resulting in inferior performances. Although much attention has been paid to evaluating the performance of ZMBs under extreme temperatures in recent years, most academic electrolyte research has not provided adequate information about physical properties or practical testing protocols of their electrolytes, making it difficult to assess their true performance. The growing interest in ZMBs is calling for in-depth research on electrolyte behavior under harsh practical conditions, which has not been systematically reviewed yet. Hence, in this review, we first showcase the fundamentals behind the failure of ZMBs in terms of temperature influence and then present a comprehensive understanding of the current electrolyte strategies to improve battery performance at harsh temperatures. Last, we offer perspectives on the advance of ZMB electrolytes toward industrial application.
