Fluoroethylene Carbonate Additives to Render Uniform Li Deposits in Lithium Metal Batteries

Zhang, Xue‐Qiang, Cheng, Xin‐Bing, Chen, Xiang, Yan, Chong, Zhang, Qiang·2017·Advanced Functional Materials

Abstract

Lithium (Li) metal has been considered as an important substitute for the graphite anode to further boost the energy density of Li‐ion batteries. However, Li dendrite growth during Li plating/stripping causes safety concern and poor lifespan of Li metal batteries (LMB). Herein, fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) additives are used to form a LiF‐rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The FEC‐induced SEI layer is compact and stable, and thus beneficial to obtain a uniform morphology of Li deposits. This uniform and dendrite‐free morphology renders a significantly improved Coulombic efficiency of 98% within 100 cycles in a Li | Cu half‐cell. When the FEC‐protected Li metal anode matches a high‐loading LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 (NMC) cathode (12 mg cm −2 ), a high initial capacity of 154 mAh g −1 (1.9 mAh cm −2 ) at 180.0 mA g −1 is obtained. This LMB with conversion‐type Li metal anode and intercalation‐type NMC cathode affords an emerging energy storage system to probe the energy chemistry of Li metal protection and demonstrates the material engineering of batteries with very high energy density.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • FEC is a widely used and extensively studied additive in LIB and LMA systems because it can participate in SEI formation due to its higher reduction potential compared to nonfluorinated carbonates, enhancing its capability to form a LiF-rich SEI that protects graphite and LMA and improves cycling stability and capacity retention at room temperature.

    “FEC is a widely used and extensively studied additive in LIB and LMA systems, as it can participate in SEI formation due to its higher reduction potential compared to nonfluorinated carbonates, enhancing its capability in forming a LiF-rich SEI to protect graphite and LMA, which in turn improves the cycling stability and capacity retention at RT [123,124].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
