Title: High Coulombic efficiency cycling of metal batteries

Abstract

Embodiments of a method for cycling a rechargeable alkali metal battery with high Coulombic efficiency (CE) are disclosed. A slow charge/rapid discharge protocol is used in conjunction with a concentrated electrolyte to achieve high CE in rechargeable lithium and sodium batteries, include anode-free batteries. In some examples, the CE is ≥99.8%.

Electrolyte for high efficiency cycling of sodium metal and rechargeable sodium-based batteries comprising the electrolyte

Patent Zhang, Ji-Guang; Cao, Ruiguo; Henderson, Wesley A.; ...

Embodiments of a non-aqueous electrolyte for a rechargeable sodium (Na)-based battery comprise a sodium salt and a nonaqueous solvent, the electrolyte having a sodium salt concentration .gtoreq.2.5 M or a solvent-sodium salt mole ratio .ltoreq.4:1. Na-based rechargeable batteries including the electrolyte exhibit both high cycling stability and high coulombic efficiency (CE). Some embodiments of the disclosed batteries attain a CE.gtoreq.80% within 10-30 charge-discharge cycles and maintain a CE.gtoreq.80% for at least 100 charge-discharge cycles. In certain embodiments, the battery is an anode-free battery in the as-assembled initial state.

Co-solvents with high coulombic efficiency in propylene carbonate based electrolytes

Patent Liu, Gao; Zhao, Hui; Park, Sang-Jae

A homologous series of cyclic carbonate or propylene carbonate (PC) analogue solvents with increasing length of linear alkyl substitutes were synthesized and used as co-solvents with PC for graphite based lithium ion half cells. A graphite anode reaches a capacity around 310 mAh/g in PC and its analogue co-solvents with 99.95% Coulombic efficiency. Cyclic carbonate co-solvents with longer alkyl chains are able to prevent exfoliation of graphite when used as co-solvents with PC. The cyclic carbonate co-solvents of PC compete for solvation of Li ion with PC solvent, delaying PC co-intercalation. Reduction products of PC on graphite surfaces via single-electronmore » « less

High rate, long cycle life battery electrode materials with an open framework structure

Patent Wessells, Colin; Huggins, Robert; Cui, Yi; ...

A battery includes a cathode, an anode, and an aqueous electrolyte disposed between the cathode and the anode and including a cation A. At least one of the cathode and the anode includes an electrode material having an open framework crystal structure into which the cation A is reversibly inserted during operation of the battery. The battery has a reference specific capacity when cycled at a reference rate, and at least 75% of the reference specific capacity is retained when the battery is cycled at 10 times the reference rate.
