A Bifunctional Fluorophosphate Electrolyte for Safer Sodium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Most of the currently developed sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have potential safety hazards due to the use of highly volatile and flammable alkyl carbonate electrolytes. To overcome this challenge, we report an electrochemically compatible and nonflammable electrolyte, tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) phosphate (TFEP) with low-concentration sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (0.9 M), which is designed not only to match perfectly with the hard carbon (HC) anode but also to enhance the thermal stability of SIBs. Experimental results and theoretical calculations reveal that TFEP molecules have a significantly low barrier to decompose before Na⁺ inserts into HC, forming a stable inorganic solid-electrolyte interface layer, thus improving the electrochemical and structural stabilities of HC anodes. An HC/Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ full cell using TFEP electrolyte shows a high capacity retention of 89.2% after 300 cycles and a dramatically reduced exothermic heat at elevated temperature, implying its potential application for safe and low-cost larger-scale energy storage.

Sodium Borates: Expanding the Electrolyte Selection for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are a promising grid-level storage technology due to the abundance and low cost of sodium. The development of new electrolytes for SIBs is imperative since it impacts battery life and capacity. Currently, sodium hexafluorophosphate (NaPF6 ) is used as the benchmark salt, but is highly hygroscopic and generates toxic HF. This work describes the synthesis of a series of sodium borate salts, with electrochemical studies revealing that Na[B(hfip)4 ]⋅DME (hfip=hexafluoroisopropyloxy, Oi PrF ) and Na[B(pp)2 ] (pp=perfluorinated pinacolato, O2 C2 (CF3 )4 ) have excellent electrochemical performance. The [B(pp)2 ]- anion also exhibits a high tolerance to air and water. Both electrolytes give more stable electrode-electrolyte interfaces than conventionally used NaPF6 , as demonstrated by impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, they give greater cycling stability and comparable capacity to NaPF6 for SIBs, as shown in commercial pouch cells.

A Safer Sodium-Ion Battery Based on Nonflammable Organic Phosphate Electrolyte.

Project description:Sodium-ion batteries are now considered as a low-cost alternative to lithium-ion technologies for large-scale energy storage applications; however, their safety is still a matter of great concern for practical applications. In this paper, a safer sodium-ion battery is proposed by introducing a nonflammable phosphate electrolyte (trimethyl phosphate, TMP) coupled with NaNi0.35Mn0.35Fe0.3O2 cathode and Sb-based alloy anode. The physical and electrochemical compatibilities of the TMP electrolyte are investigated by igniting, ionic conductivity, cyclic voltammetry, and charge-discharge measurements. The results exhibit that the TMP electrolyte with FEC additive is completely nonflammable and has wide electrochemical window (0-4.5 V vs. Na/Na+), in which both the Sb-based anode and NaNi0.35Mn0.35Fe0.3O2 cathode show high reversible capacity and cycling stability, similarly as in carbonate electrolyte. Based on these results, a nonflammable sodium-ion battery is constructed by use of Sb anode, NaNi0.35Mn0.35Fe0.3O2 cathode, and TMP + 10 vol% FEC electrolyte, which works very well with considerable capacity and cyclability, demonstrating a promising prospect to build safer sodium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage applications.

Enhancing the energy density of safer Li-ion batteries by combining high-voltage lithium cobalt fluorophosphate cathodes and nanostructured titania anodes.

Project description:Recently, Li-ion batteries have been heavily scrutinized because of the apparent incompatibility between safety and high energy density. This work report a high voltage full battery made with TiO2/Li3PO4/Li2CoPO4F. The Li2CoPO4F cathode and TiO2 anode materials are synthesized by a sol-gel and anodization methods, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that Li2CoPO4F is well-crystallized in orthorhombic crystal structure with Pnma space group. The Li3PO4-coated anode was successfully deposited as shown by the (011) lattice fringes of anatase TiO2 and (200) of γ-Li3PO4, as detected by HRTEM. The charge profile of Li2CoPO4F versus lithium shows a plateau at 5.0 V, revealing its importance as potentially high-voltage cathode and could perfectly fit with the plateau of anatase anode (1.8-1.9 V). The full cell made with TiO2/Li3PO4/Li2CoPO4F delivered an initial reversible capacity of 150 mA h g(-1) at C rate with good cyclic performance at an average potential of 3.1-3.2 V. Thus, the full cell provides an energy density of 472 W h kg(-1). This full battery behaves better than TiO2/Li2CoPO4F. The introduction of Li3PO4 as buffer layer is expected to help the cyclability of the electrodes as it allows a rapid Li-ion transport.

Enabling long-cycling aqueous sodium-ion batteries via Mn dissolution inhibition using sodium ferrocyanide electrolyte additive.

Project description:Aqueous sodium-ion batteries (AIBs) are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their safe operational properties and low cost. However, AIBs have low specific energy (i.e., <80 Wh kg-1) and limited lifespans (e.g., hundreds of cycles). Mn-Fe Prussian blue analogues are considered ideal positive electrode materials for AIBs, but they show rapid capacity decay due to Jahn-Teller distortions. To circumvent these issues, here, we propose a cation-trapping method that involves the introduction of sodium ferrocyanide (Na4Fe(CN)6) as a supporting salt in a highly concentrated NaClO4-based aqueous electrolyte solution to fill the surface Mn vacancies formed in Fe-substituted Prussian blue Na1.58Fe0.07Mn0.97Fe(CN)6 · 2.65H2O (NaFeMnF) positive electrode materials during cycling. When the engineered aqueous electrolyte solution and the NaFeMnF-based positive electrode are tested in combination with a 3, 4, 9, 10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide-based negative electrode in a coin cell configuration, a specific energy of 94 Wh kg-1 at 0.5 A g-1 (specific energy based on the active material mass of both electrodes) and a specific discharge capacity retention of 73.4% after 15000 cycles at 2 A g-1 are achieved.

Higher energy and safer sodium ion batteries via an electrochemically made disordered Na3V2(PO4)2F3 material.

Project description:The growing need to store an increasing amount of renewable energy in a sustainable way has rekindled interest for sodium-ion battery technology, owing to the natural abundance of sodium. Presently, sodium-ion batteries based on Na3V2(PO4)2F3/C are the subject of intense research focused on improving the energy density by harnessing the third sodium, which has so far been reported to be electrochemically inaccessible. Here, we are able to trigger the activity of the third sodium electrochemically via the formation of a disordered NaxV2(PO4)2F3 phase of tetragonal symmetry (I4/mmm space group). This phase can reversibly uptake 3 sodium ions per formula unit over the 1 to 4.8?V voltage range, with the last one being re-inserted at 1.6?V vs Na+/Na0. We track the sodium-driven structural/charge compensation mechanism associated to the new phase and find that it remains disordered on cycling while its average vanadium oxidation state varies from 3 to 4.5. Full sodium-ion cells based on this phase as positive electrode and carbon as negative electrode show a 10-20% increase in the overall energy density.

Nanosponge-Based Composite Gel Polymer Electrolyte for Safer Li-O2 Batteries.

Project description:Li-O2 batteries represent a promising rechargeable battery candidate to answer the energy challenges our world is facing, thanks to their ultrahigh theoretical energy density. However, the poor cycling stability of the Li-O2 system and, overall, important safety issues due to the formation of Li dendrites, combined with the use of organic liquid electrolytes and O2 cross-over, inhibit their practical applications. As a solution to these various issues, we propose a composite gel polymer electrolyte consisting of a highly cross-linked polymer matrix, containing a dextrin-based nanosponge and activated with a liquid electrolyte. The polymer matrix, easily obtained by thermally activated one pot free radical polymerization in bulk, allows to limit dendrite nucleation and growth thanks to its cross-linked structure. At the same time, the nanosponge limits the O2 cross-over and avoids the formation of crystalline domains in the polymer matrix, which, combined with the liquid electrolyte, allows a good ionic conductivity at room temperature. Such a composite gel polymer electrolyte, tested in a cell containing Li metal as anode and a simple commercial gas diffusion layer, without any catalyst, as cathode demonstrates a full capacity of 5.05 mAh cm-2 as well as improved reversibility upon cycling, compared to a cell containing liquid electrolyte.

Supramolecular Thixotropic Ionogel Electrolyte for Sodium Batteries.

Project description:Owing to the potential of sodium as an alternative to lithium as charge carrier, increasing attention has been focused on the development of high-performance electrolytes for Na batteries in recent years. In this regard, gel-type electrolytes, which combine the outstanding ionic conductivity of liquid electrolytes and the safety of solid electrolytes, demonstrate immense application prospects. However, most gel electrolytes not only need a number of specific techniques for molding, but also typically suffer from breakage, leading to a short service life and severe safety issues. In this study, a supramolecular thixotropic ionogel electrolyte is proposed to address these problems. This thixotropic electrolyte is formed by the supramolecular self-assembly of D-gluconic acetal-based gelator (B8) in an ionic liquid solution of a Na salt, which exhibits moldability, a high ionic conductivity, and a rapid self-healing property. The ionogel electrolyte is chemically stable to Na and exhibits a good Na+ transference number. In addition, the self-assembly mechanism of B8 and thixotropic mechanism of ionogel are investigated. The safe, low-cost and multifunctional ionogel electrolyte developed herein supports the development of future high-performance Na batteries.

A redox-active organic salt for safer Na-ion batteries.

Project description:Overcharge abuse can trigger thermal runaway when a device is left unattended. Redox shuttles, as economic and efficient electrolyte additives, have been proven to provide reliable and reversible protection for state-of-art Li-ion batteries (LIBs) against overcharge. Here, a functional organic salt, trisaminocyclopropenium perchlorate (TAC•ClO4), is developed and employed as a redox shuttle for overcharge protection in a Na-ion battery system. This type of novel redox shuttle molecule is reported for the first time. As a unique ionic compound with the smallest aromatic ring structure, TAC•ClO4 exhibits distinctive attributes of fast diffusion, high solubility, and ultrahigh chemical/electrochemical stability in both redox states. With merely 0.1 M TAC•ClO4 in electrolyte, Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode can carry overcharge current even up to 10C or 400% SOC. Na3V2(PO4)3/hard carbon cells demonstrated strong anti-overcharging ability of 176 cycles at 0.5C rate and 54 cycles at 1C rate with 100% overcharge. Moreover, TAC•ClO4 addition has little impact on the electrochemical performance of Na-ion batteries, especially on the rate performance and the initial Columbic efficiency. Interestingly, a unique and reversible electrochromic behavior of TAC•ClO4 electrolyte can promptly provide the device an overcharge alarm under a designed potential to further enhance the safety level.

Monovalent manganese based anodes and co-solvent electrolyte for stable low-cost high-rate sodium-ion batteries.

Project description:The demand of sustainable power supply requires high-performance cost-effective energy storage technologies. Here we report a high-rate long-life low-cost sodium-ion battery full-cell system by innovating both the anode and the electrolyte. The redox couple of manganese(I/II) in Prussian blue analogs enables a high-rate and stable anode. Soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering provide direct evidence suggesting the existence of monovalent manganese in the charged anode. There is a strong hybridization between cyano ligands and manganese-3d states, which benefits the electronic property for improving rate performance. Additionally, we employ an organic-aqueous cosolvent electrolyte to solve the long-standing solubility issue of Prussian blue analogs. A full-cell sodium-ion battery with low-cost Prussian blue analogs in both electrodes and co-solvent electrolyte retains 95% of its initial discharge capacity after 1000 cycles at 1C and 95% depth of discharge. The revealed manganese(I/II) redox couple inspires conceptual innovations of batteries based on atypical oxidation states.

A stable cathode-solid electrolyte composite for high-voltage, long-cycle-life solid-state sodium-ion batteries.

Project description:Rechargeable solid-state sodium-ion batteries (SSSBs) hold great promise for safer and more energy-dense energy storage. However, the poor electrochemical stability between current sulfide-based solid electrolytes and high-voltage oxide cathodes has limited their long-term cycling performance and practicality. Here, we report the discovery of the ion conductor Na3-xY1-xZrxCl6 (NYZC) that is both electrochemically stable (up to 3.8 V vs. Na/Na+) and chemically compatible with oxide cathodes. Its high ionic conductivity of 6.6 × 10-5 S cm-1 at ambient temperature, several orders of magnitude higher than oxide coatings, is attributed to abundant Na vacancies and cooperative MCl6 rotation, resulting in an extremely low interfacial impedance. A SSSB comprising a NaCrO2 + NYZC composite cathode, Na3PS4 electrolyte, and Na-Sn anode exhibits an exceptional first-cycle Coulombic efficiency of 97.1% at room temperature and can cycle over 1000 cycles with 89.3% capacity retention at 40 °C. These findings highlight the immense potential of halides for SSSB applications.
