Title: A novel small-molecule compound of lithium iodine and 3-hydroxypropionitride as a solid-state electrolyte for lithium–air batteries

Abstract

A novel small-molecule compound of lithium iodine and 3-hydroxypropionitrile (HPN) has been successfully synthesized. Our combined experimental and theoretical studies indicated that LiIHPN is a Li-ion conductor, which is utterly different from the I–-anion conductor of LiI(HPN)₂ reported previously. Solid-state lithium–air batteries based on LiIHPN as the electrolyte exhibit a reversible discharge capacity of more than 2100 mAh g^–1 with a cyclic performance over 10 cycles. Lastly, our findings provide a new way to design solid-state electrolytes toward high-performance lithium–air batteries.

Novel lithium-polymer electrolytes for lithium battery

Conference Venkatasetty, H V

Five different but novel superacid-based lithium salts were synthesized and characterized. The electrochemical stability of these salts was studied by cyclic voltammetry and the process ability was carried out by chemical techniques. Solid polymer electrolytes of these salts with different compositions were prepared with polyethylene oxide and polyacrylonitrile under anhydrous conditions and their conductivities were measured at room temperature. High voltage composite cathode films of lithium cobalt oxide were prepared with aluminum and stainless steel grid materials. Lithium/polymer electrolyte/lithium cobalt oxide cells of about 4 mAh capacity were fabricated and were used to conduct charge and discharge studies to evaluatemore »« less
A Fireproof, Lightweight, Polymer–Polymer Solid-State Electrolyte for Safe Lithium Batteries

Journal Article Cui, Yi ; Wan, Jiayu ; Ye, Yusheng ; ... - Nano Letters

Safety issues in lithium-ion batteries have raised serious concerns due to their ubiquitous utilization and close contact with the human body. Replacing flammable liquid electrolytes, solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) is thought to address this issue as well as provide unmatched energy densities in Li-based batteries. However, among the most intensively studied SSEs, polymeric solid electrolyte and polymer/ceramic composites are usually flammable, leaving the safety issue unattended. Here, we report the first design of a fireproof, ultralightweight polymer–polymer SSE. The SSE is composed of a porous mechanic enforcer (polyimide, PI), a fire-retardant additive (decabromodiphenyl ethane, DBDPE), and a ionic conductive polymer electrolytemore »« less

Ionic Liquid-Nanoporous Polymer Hybrid Electrolyte Membranes for Vehicle Lithium Ion Batteries

Technical Report Elliott, Brian J.

The objective of this research project is to develop a new lithium electrolyte that is made from an ionic liquid-filled nanoporous polymer for use in electric vehicle lithium metal batteries. The new electrolyte material will be stable at extreme temperatures, non-flammable (it will be made entirely from non-flammable components), have a high ionic conductivity over a wide temperature range, and be electrochemically stable to ensure a long battery lifetime. Improving safety, without sacrificing performance is the goal of this project. We developed a new lithium ion battery that uses 0% flammable solvents. The electrolyte liquid is an imidazolium ionic liquid.more »« less
Durability of the Li _{1+ x} Ti _{2– x} Al _x (PO ₄ ) ₃ Solid Electrolyte in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Journal Article Wang, Shaofei ; Ding, Yu ; Zhou, Guangmin ; ... - ACS Energy Letters

Adoption of cells with a solid-state electrolyte is a promising solution for eliminating the polysulfide shuttle problem in Li-S batteries. Among the various known lithium-ion conducting solid electrolytes, the sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)-type Li_1+xTi_2-xAl_x(PO₄)₃ offers the advantage of good stability under ambient conditions and in contact with air. Accordingly, we present here a comprehensive assessment of the durability of Li_1+xTi_2-xAl_x(PO₄)₃ in contact with polysulfide solution and in Li-S cells. Because of its high reduction potential (2.5 V vs Li/Li⁺), Li_1+xTi_2-xAl_x(PO₄)₃ gets lithiated in contact with lithium polysulfide solution and Li₂CO₃ is formed on the particle surface, blocking the interfacial lithium-ionmore »« less

A chemically stabilized sulfur cathode for lean electrolyte lithium sulfur batteries

Journal Article Luo, Chao ; Hu, Enyuan ; Gaskell, Karen J. ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Lithium sulfur batteries (LSBs) are promising next-generation rechargeable batteries due to the high gravimetric energy, low cost, abundance, nontoxicity, and high sustainability of sulfur. However, the dissolution of high-order polysulfide in electrolytes and low Coulombic efficiency of Li anode require excess electrolytes and Li metal, which significantly reduce the energy density of LSBs. Quasi-solid-state LSBs, where sulfur is encapsulated in the micropores of carbon matrix and sealed by solid electrolyte interphase, can operate under lean electrolyte conditions, but a low sulfur loading in carbon matrix (<40 wt %) and low sulfur unitization (<70%) still limit the energy density in amore »« less
