Safe and Stable Lithium Metal Batteries Enabled by an Amide-Based Electrolyte

Magnetic field-assisted vertically aligned NiFe2O4 nanosheets in composite solid polymer electrolytes for advanced all solid-state lithium metal batteries

Two-dimensional materials (2D Ms) as fillers have been applied in polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based electrolyte to enhance the low ionic conductivity and poor interface compatibility. However, the randomly dispersed fillers in PEO matrix result in anisotropy of Li+ transportation and insufficent ionic conductivity. Herein, NiFe2O4 (NFO) nanosheets are firstly introduced in polymer matrix to form vertically aligned NFO-PEO (ANFO-PEO) composite solid-state electrolytes (CSEs) through magnetic field-assisted alignment strategy. The vertically aligned NFO/PEO interface in CSEs can construct oriented Li+ transport channels and maximize the utilization of high in-plane conductivity. Meanwhile, the NFO nanosheets with abundant oxygen vacancies could effectively anchor TFSI- to promote the dissociation of Li salts. Furthermore, the optimized Li+ transport flux in CSEs enables homogeneous Li deposition and effectively mitigates the growth of dendrites. Owing to the synergistic effects, the ANFO-PEO CSEs exhibit high ionic conductivity (9.16 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 60 °C) and stable potential window up to 5.0 V vs Li/Li+. Therefore, LiFePO4 in the full cell and pouch cell with ANFO-PEO CSEs could deliver excellent cycling performance (92.78 % capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 0.5C; 96.88 % capacity retention after 105 cycles at 0.1C).

Stabilization of LiCoO2 Cathodes in High Voltage Lithium Metal Batteries Through 2-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzamide (2-TFMBA) Electrolyte Additives

Increasing the charging cutoff voltage of LiCoO2 to 4.6 V is significant for enhancing battery density. However, the practical application of Li‖LiCoO2 batteries with a 4.6 V cutoff voltage faces significant impediments due to the detrimental changes under high voltage. This study presents a novel bifunctional electrolyte additive, 2-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide (2-TFMBA), which is employed to establish a stable and dense cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI). Characterization results reveal that an optimized CEI is achieved through the synergistic effects of the amide groups and trifluoromethyl groups within 2-TFMBA. The resulting CEI not only enhances the structural stability of LiCoO2 but also serves as a high-speed lithium-ion conduction channel, which expedites the insertion and extraction of lithium ions. The Li‖LiCoO2 batteries with 0.5 wt% 2-TFMBA achieves an 84.7% capacity retention rate after enduring 300 cycles at a current rate of 1 C, under a cut-off voltage of 4.6 V. This study provides valuable strategic insights into the stabilization of cathode materials in high-voltage batteries.

Eutectogel Electrolyte Constructs Robust Interfaces for High-Voltage Safe Lithium Metal Battery

Dramatic growth of lithium dendrite, structural deterioration of LiCoO2 (LCO) cathode at high voltages, and unstable electrode/electrolyte interfaces pose significant obstacles to the practical application of high-energy-density LCO||Li batteries. In this work, a novel eutectogel electrolyte is developed by confining the nonflammable eutectic electrolyte in a polymer matrix. The eutectogel electrolyte can construct a robust solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) with inorganic-rich LiF and Li3N, contributing to a uniform Li deposition. Besides, the severe interface side reactions between LCO cathode and electrolyte can be retarded with an in situ formed protective layer. Correspondingly, Li||Li symmetrical cells achieve highly reversible Li plating/stripping over 1000 h. The LCO||Li full cell can maintain 72.5% capacity after 1500 cycles with a decay rate of only 0.018% per cycle at a high charging voltage of 4.45 V. Moreover, the well-designed eutectogel electrolyte can even enable the stable operation of LCO at an extremely high cutoff voltage of 4.6 V. This work introduces a promising avenue for the advancement of eutectogel electrolytes, the nonflammable nature and well-regulated interphase significantly push forward the future application of lithium metal batteries and high-voltage utilization of LCO cathode.

Electrolyte Design with Dual -C≡N Groups Containing Additives to Enable High-Voltage Na3V2(PO4)2F3-Based Sodium-Ion Batteries

Na3V2(PO4)2F3 is recognized as a promising cathode for high energy density sodium-ion batteries due to its high average potential of ∼3.95 V (vs Na/Na+). A high-voltage-resistant electrolyte is of high importance due to the long duration of 4.2 V (vs Na/Na+) when improving cyclability. Herein, a targeted electrolyte containing additives with two -C≡N groups like succinonitrile has been designed. In this design, one -C≡N group is accessible to the solvation sheath and enables the other -C≡N in dinitrile being exposed and subsequently squeezed into the electric double layer. Then, the squeezed -C≡N group is prone to a preferential adsorption on the electrode surface prior to the exposed -CH2/-CH3 in Na+-solvent and oxidized to construct a stable and electrically insulating interface enriched CN-/NCO-/Na3N. The Na3V2(PO4)2F3-based sodium-ion batteries within a high-voltage of 2-4.3 V (vs Na/Na+) can accordingly achieve an excellent cycling stability (e.g., 95.07% reversible capacity at 1 C for 1,5-dicyanopentane and 98.4% at 2 C and 93.0% reversible capacity at 5 C for succinonitrile after 1000 cycles). This work proposes a new way to design high-voltage electrolytes for high energy density sodium-ion batteries.

Two-Dimensional Electrolyte Design: Broadening the Horizons of Functional Electrolytes in Lithium Batteries

ConspectusSince their commercialization in the 1990s, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been increasingly used in applications such as portable electronics, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage. The increasing use of LIBs in modern society has necessitated superior-performance LIB development, including electrochemical reversibility, interfacial stability, efficient kinetics, environmental adaptability, and intrinsic safety, which is difficult to simultaneously achieve in commercialized electrolytes. Current electrolyte systems contain a solution with Li salts (e.g., LiPF6) and solvents (e.g., ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate), in which the latter dissolves Li salts and strongly interacts with Li+ (lithiophilic feature). Only lithiophilic agents can be functionally modified (e.g., additives and solvents), altering the bulk and interfacial behaviors of Li+ solvates. However, such approaches alter pristine Li+ solvation and electrochemical processes, making it difficult to strike a balance between the electrochemical performance and other desired electrolyte functions. This common electrolyte design in lithiophilic solvents shows strong coupling among formulation, coordination, electrochemistry, and electrolyte function. The invention of lithiophobic cosolvents (e.g., multifluorinated ether and fluoroaromatic hydrocarbons) has expanded the electrolyte design space to lithiophilic (interacts with Li+) and lithiophobic (interacts with solvents but not with Li+) dimensions. Functional modifications switch to lithiophobic cosolvents, affording superior properties (carried by lithiophobic cosolvents) with little impact on primary Li+ solvation (dictated by lithiophilic solvents). This electrolyte engineering technique based on lithiophobic cosolvents is the 2D electrolyte (TDE) principle, which decouples formulation, coordination, electrochemistry, and function. The molecular-scale understanding of TDEs is expected to accelerate electrolyte innovations in next-generation LIBs.This Account provides insights into recent advancements in electrolytes for superior LIBs from the perspective of lithiophobic agents (i.e., lithiophobic additives and cosolvents), establishing a generalized TDE principle for functional electrolyte design. In bulk electrolytes, a microsolvating competition emerges because of cosolvent-induced dipole-dipole and ion-dipole interactions, forming a loose solvation shell and a kinetically favorable electrolyte. At the electrode/electrolyte interface, the lithiophobic cosolvent affords reliable passivation and efficient desolvation, with interfacial compatibility and electrochemical reversibility even under harsh conditions. Based on this unique coordination chemistry, functional electrolytes are formulated without significantly sacrificing their electrochemical performance. First, lithiophobic cosolvents are used to tune Li+-solvent affinity and anion mobility, promoting Li+ diffusion and electrochemical kinetics of the electrolyte to benefit high-rate and low-temperature applications. Second, the lithiophobic cosolvent undergoes less thermally induced decomposition and constructs a thermally stable interphase in TDEs, affording electrolytes with high-temperature adaptability and cycling stability. Third, the lithiophobic cosolvent modifies the local Li+-solvent-anion topography, controlling electrolyte electrochemical reversibility to afford numerous promising solvents that cannot be used in common electrolyte design. Finally, the lithiophobic cosolvent mitigates detrimental crosstalk between flame retardants and carbonate solvents, improving the intrinsic electrolyte safety without compromising electrochemical performance, which broadens the horizons of electrolyte design by optimizing versatile cosolvents and solvents, inspiring new ideas in liquid electrochemistry in other battery systems.

Design advanced lithium metal anode materials in high energy density lithium batteries

Nowadays, the ongoing electrical vehicles and energy storage devices give a great demand of high-energy-density lithium battery. The commercial graphite anode has been reached the limit of the theoretical capacity. Herein, we introduce lithium metal anode to demonstrate the promising anode which can replace graphite. Lithium metal has a high theoretical capacity and the lowest electrochemical potential. Hence, using lithium metal as the anode material of lithium batteries can reach the limit of energy and power density of lithium batteries. However, lithium metal has huge flaw such as unstable SEI layer, volume change and dendrites formation. Therefore, we give a review of the lithium metal anode on its issues and introduce the existing research to overcome these. Besides, we give the perspective that the engineering problems also restrict the commercial use of lithium metal. This review provides the reasonable method to enhance the lithium metal performance and give the development direction for the subsequent research.

Regulating the Electrode-Electrolyte Interfaces of Lithium-High Nickel Batteries via a Multifunctional Additive

Lithium metal batteries with high nickel ternary (LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2, x ≥ 0.8) as the cathode hold the promise to meet the demand of next-generation high energy density batteries. However, the unsatisfactory stability of electrode-electrolyte interfaces limits their practical applications. In this work, N-methyl-N-trimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide (NMTFA) is suggested as a new functional electrolyte additive to stabilize the Li∥LiNi0.9Co0.05Mn0.05O2 chemistry by forming robust and effective electrode-electrolyte interphases, namely the anode-electrolyte interphase (AEI, or conventionally called SEI) and cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI). The NMTFA-derived SEI/CEI greatly enhances the battery performance that a capacity retention of 82.1% after 200 cycles at 1C charge/discharge is achieved, significantly higher than that without NMTFA addition (52.5%). Moreover, the NMTFA also improves the thermal stability of the electrolyte and inhibits the hydrolysis of LiPF6. This work provides new clues for the optimization of electrolyte formulation for lithium-high nickel batteries through modulating interfaces.

From Liquid to Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries: Fundamental Issues and Recent Developments

The widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries has been driven by the proliferation of portable electronic devices and electric vehicles, which have increasingly stringent energy density requirements. Lithium metal batteries (LMBs), with their ultralow reduction potential and high theoretical capacity, are widely regarded as the most promising technical pathway for achieving high energy density batteries. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of fundamental issues related to high reactivity and migrated interfaces in LMBs. Furthermore, we propose improved strategies involving interface engineering, 3D current collector design, electrolyte optimization, separator modification, application of alloyed anodes, and external field regulation to address these challenges. The utilization of solid-state electrolytes can significantly enhance the safety of LMBs and represents the only viable approach for advancing them. This review also encompasses the variation in fundamental issues and design strategies for the transition from liquid to solid electrolytes. Particularly noteworthy is that the introduction of SSEs will exacerbate differences in electrochemical and mechanical properties at the interface, leading to increased interface inhomogeneity-a critical factor contributing to failure in all-solid-state lithium metal batteries. Based on recent research works, this perspective highlights the current status of research on developing high-performance LMBs.

Modulating Ionic Transport and Interface Chemistry via Surface-Modified Silica Carrier in Nano Colloid Electrolyte for Stable Cycling of Li-Metal Batteries

Tailoring the Li+ microenvironment is crucial for achieving fast ionic transfer and a mechanically reinforced solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), which administers the stable cycling of Li-metal batteries (LMBs). Apart from traditional salt/solvent compositional tuning, this study presents the simultaneous modulation of Li+ transport and SEI chemistry using a citric acid (CA)-modified silica-based colloidal electrolyte (C-SCE). CA-tethered silica (CA-SiO2 ) can render more active sites for attracting complex anions, leading to further dissociation of Li+ from the anions, resulting in a high Li+ transference number (≈0.75). Intermolecular hydrogen bonds between solvent molecules and CA-SiO2 and their migration also act as nano-carrier for delivering additives and anions toward the Li surface, reinforcing the SEI via the co-implantation of SiO2 and fluorinated components. Notably, C-SCE demonstrated Li dendrite suppression and improved cycling stability of LMBs compared with the CA-free SiO2 colloidal electrolyte, hinting that the surface properties of the nanoparticles have a huge impact on the dendrite-inhibiting role of nano colloidal electrolytes.

LLZTO Nanoparticle- and Cellulose Mesh-Coreinforced Flexible Composite Electrolyte for Stable Li Metal Batteries

Composite electrolytes have been regarded as the most prospective electrolytes for commercial application because they acquire the advantages of both polymer and inorganic electrolytes, commonly exhibiting appreciated flexibility and suitable ionic conductivity. Nevertheless, the conventional solution-casting method with toxic solvent and poor interfacial contact still hamper their commercialization process. Moreover, electrolytes with higher ionic conductivity and transference number are urgently needed for satisfying fast-charging batteries. Herein, a novel composite electrolyte (LZEC) reinforced by mechanically robust LLZTO nanoparticles and flexible cellulose mesh was fabricated by a simple and advanced in situ thermal polymerization method, with adding of highly ion-conductive liquid plasticizer. Consequently, the rationally designed LZEC composite electrolyte exhibits superior flexibility and remarkable electrochemical properties in the form of high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical stability window, and high Li+ transference number. Importantly, the in situ synthesis method is expected to help construct an enhanced electrolyte/electrode interface inside the battery, and the LZEC composite electrolyte is capable of suppressing Li dendrite growth effectively, as evidenced by the prolonged stable cycling of the Li/Li symmetric cell. Therefore, the LFP/LZEC/Li full cell exhibits superior rate performance and long cyclic life. These attractive properties make LZEC a potential composite electrolyte for boosting the practical application of safe and long-life Li metal batteries.

Highly Thermostable Interphase Enables Boosting High-Temperature Lifespan for Metallic Lithium Batteries

In consideration of high specific capacity and low redox potential, lithium metal anodes have attracted extensive attention. However, the cycling performance of lithium metal batteries generally deteriorates significantly under the stringent conditions of high temperature due to inferior heat tolerance of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Herein, controllable SEI nanostructures with excellent thermal stability are established by the (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (TMSCF₃ )-induced interface engineering. First, the TMSCF₃ regulates the electrolyte decomposition, thus generating an SEI with a large amount of LiF, Li₃ N, and Li₂ S nanocrystals incorporated. More importantly, the uniform distributed nanocrystals have endowed the SEI with enhanced thermostability according to the density functional theory simulations. Particularly, the sub-angstrom visualization on SEI through a conventional transmission electron microscope (TEM) is realized for the first time and the enhanced tolerance to the heat damage originating from TEM imaging demonstrates the ultrahigh thermostability of SEI. As a result, the highly thermostable interphase facilitates a substantially prolonged lifespan of full cells at a high temperature of 70 °C. As such, this work might inspire the universal interphase design for high-energy alkali-metal-based batteries applicated in a high-temperature environment.

Rational Design of High-Performance PEO/Ceramic Composite Solid Electrolytes for Lithium Metal Batteries

Composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) have become fairly prevalent for fabricating high-performance solid-state lithium metal batteries due to their high Li+ solvating capability, flexible processability and low cost. However, unsatisfactory room-temperature ionic conductivity, weak interfacial compatibility and uncontrollable Li dendrite growth seriously hinder their progress. Enormous efforts have been devoted to combining PEO with ceramics either as fillers or major matrix with the rational design of two-phase architecture, spatial distribution and content, which is anticipated to hold the key to increasing ionic conductivity and resolving interfacial compatibility within CSEs and between CSEs/electrodes. Unfortunately, a comprehensive review exclusively discussing the design, preparation and application of PEO/ceramic-based CSEs is largely lacking, in spite of tremendous reviews dealing with a broad spectrum of polymers and ceramics. Consequently, this review targets recent advances in PEO/ceramic-based CSEs, starting with a brief introduction, followed by their ionic conduction mechanism, preparation methods, and then an emphasis on resolving ionic conductivity and interfacial compatibility. Afterward, their applications in solid-state lithium metal batteries with transition metal oxides and sulfur cathodes are summarized. Finally, a summary and outlook on existing challenges and future research directions are proposed.

Non-Flammable Electrolyte Enables High-Voltage and Wide-Temperature Lithium-Ion Batteries with Fast Charging

Electrolyte design has become ever more important to enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the flammability issue and high reactivity of the conventional electrolytes remain a major problem, especially when the LIBs are operated at high voltage and extreme temperatures. Herein, we design a novel non-flammable fluorinated ester electrolyte that enables high cycling stability in wide-temperature variations (e.g., -50 °C-60 °C) and superior power capability (fast charge rates up to 5.0 C) for the graphite||LiNi_0.8 Co_0.1 Mn_0.1 O₂ (NCM811) battery at high voltage (i.e., >4.3 V vs. Li/Li⁺ ). Moreover, this work sheds new light on the dynamic evolution and interaction among the Li⁺ , solvent, and anion at the molecular level. By elucidating the fundamental relationship between the Li⁺ solvation structure and electrochemical performance, we can facilitate the development of high-safety and high-energy-density batteries operating in harsh conditions.

Abstract

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are widely considered the essential components for upcoming rechargeable lithium-ion batteries owing to the potential for great safety and energy density. Among them, polymer solid-state electrolytes (PSEs) are competitive candidates for replacing commercial liquid electrolytes due to their flexibility, shape versatility and easy machinability. Despite the rapid development of PSEs, their practical application still faces obstacles including poor ionic conductivity, narrow electrochemical stable window and inferior mechanical strength. Polymer/inorganic composite electrolytes (PIEs) formed by adding ceramic fillers in PSEs merge the benefits of PSEs and inorganic solid-state electrolytes (ISEs), exhibiting appreciable comprehensive properties due to the abundant interfaces with unique characteristics. Some PIEs are highly compatible with high-voltage cathode and lithium metal anode, which offer desirable access to obtaining lithium metal batteries with high energy density. This review elucidates the current issues and recent advances in PIEs. The performance of PIEs was remarkably influenced by the characteristics of the fillers including type, content, morphology, arrangement and surface groups. We focus on the molecular interaction between different components in the composite environment for designing high-performance PIEs. Finally, the obstacles and opportunities for creating high-performance PIEs are outlined. This review aims to provide some theoretical guidance and direction for the development of PIEs.

A Competitive Solvation of Ternary Eutectic Electrolytes Tailoring the Electrode/Electrolyte Interphase for Lithium Metal Batteries

The development of electrolytes with high safety, high ionic conductivity, and the ability to inhibit lithium dendrites growth is crucial for the fabrication of high-energy-density lithium metal batteries. In this study, a ternary eutectic electrolyte is designed with LiTFSI (TFSI = bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide), butyrolactam (BL), and succinonitrile (SN). This electrolyte exhibits a high ion conductivity, nonflammability, and a wide electrochemical window. The competitive solvation effect among SN, BL, and Li⁺ reduces the viscosity and improves the stability of the eutectic electrolyte. The preferential coordination of BL toward Li⁺ facilitates the formation of stable solid electrolyte interphase films, leading to homogeneous and dendrite-free Li plating. As expected, the LiFePO₄/Li cell with this ternary eutectic electrolyte delivers a high capacity retention of 90% after 500 cycles at 2 C and an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.8%. Moreover, Ni-rich LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Al_0.1O₂/Li and LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂/Li cells based on the modified ternary eutectic electrolyte achieve an outstanding cycling performance. This study provides insights for understanding and designing better electrolytes for lithium metal batteries and analogous sodium/potassium metal batteries.

Liquid-Free Ion-Conducting Elastomer with Environmental Stability for Soft Sensing and Thermoelectric Generating

Ionic conductors are promising candidates for fabricating soft electronics, but currently applied ionic hydrogels and organogels suffer from liquid leakage and evaporation issues. Herein, we fabricated a free-liquid ionic conducting elastomer (LFICE) with dry lithium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonimide) and elastomeric waterborne polyurethane. The resultant versatile LFICE exhibits superior tensile strength (∼4.5 MPa), satisfactory stretchability (>900%), excellent ionic conductivity (8.32 × 10^-4 S m^-1 at 25 °C), and sensitive strain (3.21) and temperature (2.22% °C^-1) response. The LFICE also presents durable environmental stability due to the all-solid-state feature. In the exploration of application prospects, the as-assembled LFICE sensor can precisely and repeatedly detect human motion and temperature changes, demonstrating its potentials in digital medical diagnosis and monitoring; the as-assembled LFICE thermoelectric generator (TEG) shows a high ionic thermovoltage of 4.41 mV K^-1, paving a bright path for the advent of self-powered soft electronics. It is believed that this research boosts the facile fabrication of environmental stable stretchable ionic conductors holding great promise in next-generation soft electronics integrated with dual thermo- and strain-response and energy harvesting.

Rechargeable batteries have become indispensable implements in our daily life and are considered a promising technology to construct sustainable energy systems in the future. The liquid electrolyte is one of the most important parts of a battery and is extremely critical in stabilizing the electrode-electrolyte interfaces and constructing safe and long-life-span batteries. Tremendous efforts have been devoted to developing new electrolyte solvents, salts, additives, and recipes, where molecular dynamics (MD) simulations play an increasingly important role in exploring electrolyte structures, physicochemical properties such as ionic conductivity, and interfacial reaction mechanisms. This review affords an overview of applying MD simulations in the study of liquid electrolytes for rechargeable batteries. First, the fundamentals and recent theoretical progress in three-class MD simulations are summarized, including classical, ab initio, and machine-learning MD simulations (section 2). Next, the application of MD simulations to the exploration of liquid electrolytes, including probing bulk and interfacial structures (section 3), deriving macroscopic properties such as ionic conductivity and dielectric constant of electrolytes (section 4), and revealing the electrode-electrolyte interfacial reaction mechanisms (section 5), are sequentially presented. Finally, a general conclusion and an insightful perspective on current challenges and future directions in applying MD simulations to liquid electrolytes are provided. Machine-learning technologies are highlighted to figure out these challenging issues facing MD simulations and electrolyte research and promote the rational design of advanced electrolytes for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

Synthesis of Superionic Conductive Li1+x+yAlxSiyTi2−xP3−yO12 Solid Electrolytes

Commercial lithium-ion batteries using liquid electrolytes are still a safety hazard due to their poor chemical stability and other severe problems, such as electrolyte leakage and low thermal stability. To mitigate these critical issues, solid electrolytes are introduced. However, solid electrolytes have low ionic conductivity and inferior power density. This study reports the optimization of the synthesis of sodium superionic conductor-type Li1.5Al0.3Si0.2Ti1.7P2.8O12 (LASTP) solid electrolyte. The as-prepared powder was calcined at 650 °C, 700 °C, 750 °C, and 800 °C to optimize the synthesis conditions and yield high-quality LASTP powders. Later, LASTP was sintered at 950 °C, 1000 °C, 1050 °C, and 1100 °C to study the dependence of the relative density and ionic conductivity on the sintering temperature. Morphological changes were analyzed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and structural changes were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Further, the ionic conductivity was measured using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Sintering at 1050 °C resulted in a high relative density and the highest ionic conductivity (9.455 × 10−4 S cm−1). These findings corroborate with the activation energies that are calculated using the Arrhenius plot. Therefore, the as-synthesized superionic LASTP solid electrolytes can be used to design high-performance and safe all-solid-state batteries.
