Phenyl Disulfide Additive for Solution-Mediated Carbon Dioxide Utilization in Li–CO2 Batteries
Abstract
Phenyl disulfide (PDS) is employed as an electrolyte additive in lithium–carbon dioxide (Li–CO2) batteries to provide for a solution-mediated carbon dioxide reduction pathway. Thiophenolate anions, generated via electrochemical reduction of PDS, act as CO2 capture agents by forming the adduct S-phenyl carbonothioate (SPC-) in solution. A mechanism of SPC--mediated CO2 capture and utilization is proposed and supported via carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Reversible formation and decomposition of lithium carbonate and amorphous carbon during cycling, facilitated by the solution-mediated pathway, are demonstrated with an array of characterization techniques. Li–CO2 batteries employing the PDS additive show vastly improved capacity, energy efficiency, and cycle life. The enhanced Li–CO2 battery performance offered by the proposed solution-mediated reaction pathway offers a compelling step forward in the exploration of reversible CO2 utilization.
