ABSTRACT

The formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer is crucial for enhancing the safety and lifespan of Li metal batteries. Fundamentally, a homogeneous Li+ behavior by controlling the chemical reaction at the anode/electrolyte interface is the key to establishing a stable SEI layer. However, due to the highly reactive nature of Li metal anodes (LMAs), controlling the movement of Li+ at the anode/electrolyte interface remains challenging. Here, an advanced approach is proposed for coating a sacrificial layer called fluorinated self-assembled monolayer (FSL) on a boehmite-coated polyethylene (BPE) separator to form a stable SEI layer. By leveraging the strong affinity between the fluorine functional group and Li+, the rapid formation of a LiF-rich SEI layer in the cell production and early cycling stage is facilitated. This initial stable SEI formation promotes the subsequent homogeneous Li+ flux, thereby improving the LMA stability and yielding an enhanced battery lifespan. Further, the mechanism behind the stable SEI layer generation by controlling the Li+ dynamics through the FSL-treated BPE separator is comprehensively verified. Overall, this research offers significant contributions to the energy storage field by addressing challenges associated with LMAs, thus highlighting the importance of interfacial control in achieving a stable SEI layer.

ABSTRACT

Composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) are newly emerging components for all-solid-state Li-metal batteries owing to their excellent processability and compatibility with the electrodes. Moreover, the ionic conductivity of the CSEs is one order of magnitude higher than the solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) by incorporation of inorganic fillers into SPEs. However, their advancement has come to a standstill owing to unclear Li-ion conduction mechanism and pathway. Herein, the dominating effect of the oxygen vacancy (Ovac ) in the inorganic filler on the ionic conductivity of CSEs is demonstrated via Li-ion-conducting percolation network model. Based on density functional theory, indium tin oxide nanoparticles (ITO NPs) are selected as inorganic filler to determine the effect of Ovac on the ionic conductivity of the CSEs. Owing to the fast Li-ion conduction through the Ovac inducing percolation network on ITO NP-polymer interface, LiFePO4 /CSE/Li cells using CSEs exhibit a remarkable capacity in long-term cycling (154 mAh g-1 at 0.5C after 700 cycles). Moreover, by modifying the Ovac concentration of ITO NPs via UV-ozone oxygen-vacancy modification, the ionic conductivity dependence of the CSEs on the surface Ovac from the inorganic filler is directly verified.

ABSTRACT

Two new heterometallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), LnZnTPO 1 and 2, and two homometallic MOFs, LnTPO 3 and 4 (Ln=Eu for 1 and 3, and Tb for 2 and 4; H3 TPO=tris(4-carboxyphenyl)phosphine oxide) were synthesized, and their structures and properties were analyzed. They were prepared by solvothermal reaction of the C3 -symmetric ligand H3 TPO with the corresponding metal ion(s) (a mixture of Ln3+ and Zn2+ for 1 and 2, and Ln3+ alone for 3 and 4). Single-crystal XRD (SXRD) analysis revealed that 1 and 3 are isostructural to 2 and 4, respectively. TGA showed that the framework is thermally stable up to about 400 °C for 1 and 2, and about 450 °C for 3 and 4. PXRD analysis showed their pore-structure distortions without noticeable framework-structure changes during drying processes. The shapes of gas sorption isotherms for 1 and 3 are almost identical to those for 2 and 4, respectively. Solvothermal immersion of 1 and 2 in Tb3+ and Eu3+ solutions resulted in the framework metal-ion exchange affording 4 and 3, respectively, as confirmed by photoluminescence (PL), PXRD, IR, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses.
