Title: Stabilizing electrochemical interfaces in viscoelastic liquid electrolytes

Abstract

Electrodeposition is a widely practiced method for creating metal, colloidal, and polymer coatings on conductive substrates. In the Newtonian liquid electrolytes typically used, the process is fundamentally unstable. The underlying instabilities have been linked to failure of microcircuits, dendrite formation on battery electrodes, and overlimiting conductance in ion-selective membranes. We report that viscoelastic electrolytes composed of semidilute solutions of very high–molecular weight neutral polymers suppress these instabilities by multiple mechanisms. The voltage window ΔV in which a liquid electrolyte can operate free of electroconvective instabilities is shown to be markedly extended in viscoelastic electrolytes and is a power-law function, ΔV : η^1/4, of electrolyte viscosity, η. This power-law relation is replicated in the resistance to ion transport at liquid/solid interfaces. We discuss consequences of our observations and show that viscoelastic electrolytes enable stable electrodeposition of many metals, with the most profound effects observed for reactive metals, such as sodium and lithium. This finding is of contemporary interest for high-energy electrochemical energy storage.

Electroconvection in a Viscoelastic Electrolyte

Journal Article Li, Gaojin ; Archer, Lynden A. ; Koch, Donald L. - Physical Review Letters

Direct numerical simulations of a liquid electrolyte with polymer additives demonstrate that viscoelasticity promotes an earlier transition from steady to unsteady electroconvective flow. Viscoelasticity also decreases the overlimiting current resulting from convection by up to 40%. Both of these effects would reduce the time-averaged spatial variability of ion flux suggesting that polymeric fluids may inhibit dendrite growth. Polymer relaxation near a surface destabilizes the flow structures and decreases the time duration of high current fluxes. This mechanism of polymer-induced flux reduction is general to wall bounded flows with transfer of mass, heat or momentum.

Electrodeposition of Zinc in Aqueous Electrolytes Containing High Molecular Weight Polymers

Journal Article Zhang, Duhan ; Warren, Alexander J. ; Li, Gaojin ; ... - Macromolecules

Strong polarization of the ion distribution in liquid electrolytes subjected to potential differences exceeding the thermal voltage, V_T = kT/e, produces a hydrodynamic instability termed electroconvection at ion-selective interfaces. Electroconvection is desirable in some situations (e.g., electrodialysis) because it promotes mixing in a stagnant electrolyte layer, enhancing the ion flux at a fixed potential difference. It is undesirable in others (e.g., electrodeposition of metals) where early experiments show that convective fluid rolls associated with hydrodynamic instability in bounded electrolytes produce preferential metal deposition at localized regions on an electrode. Such localized deposition drives the family of morphological instabilities loosely termedmore »« less

Journal Article Li, Gaojin ; Townsend, Alex ; Archer, Lynden A. ; ... - Journal of Fluid Mechanics

We study the effects of interfacial kinetics on the electro-hydrodynamics of ion transport near an ion-selective surface using a combination of linear stability analysis and numerical simulation. The finite kinetics of the electrolyte–electrode interface affects the ion transfer and electroconvection in many ways. On a surface of fixed topography, such as a metal surface of slow and stable ion deposition or covered by a polymer membrane, the finite kinetics reduces the current in one-dimensional ion diffusion/migration, increases the critical voltage for the onset of the electroconvective instability, changes the dynamics of the electroconvection and the overlimiting current, and enhances themore »« less

Secondary batteries based on lithium are the most significant energy storage technology for contemporary portable devices. The lithium ion battery (LIB) in widespread commercial use today is a compromise technology. It compromises high energy, high power, and design flexibility for long cell operating lifetimes and safety. Materials science, transport phenomena, and electrochemistry in the electrodes and electrolyte that constitute such batteries are areas of active study worldwide because significant improvements in storage capacity and cell lifetime are required to meet new demands, including the electrification of transportation and for powering emerging autonomous aircraft and robotics technologies.

Suppression of dendrite growth by cross-flow in microfluidics

Journal Article Ma, Meghann C. ; Li, Gaojin ; Chen, Xinye ; ... - Science Advances

Formation of rough, dendritic deposits is a critical problem in metal electrodeposition processes and could occur in next-generation, rechargeable batteries that use metallic electrodes. Electroconvection, which originates from the coupling of the imposed electric field and a charged fluid near an electrode surface, is believed to be responsible for dendrite growth. However, few studies are performed at the scale of fidelity where root causes and effective strategies for controlling electroconvection and dendrite growth can be investigated in tandem. Using microfluidics, we showed that forced convection across the electrode surface (cross-flow) during electrodeposition reduced metal dendrite growth (97.7 to 99.4%) andmore »« less
