Abstract

The effectiveness of two electrolyte additives, 1,3-propane sultone (PS) and methylene methanedisulfonate (MMDS) either singly or in combination with vinylene carbonate (VC) has been studied. Li(Ni 1/3 Mn 1/3 Co 1/3 )O 2 (NMC)/Graphite pouch cells containing these additives were studied using ultra high precision coulometry, automated storage experiments and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The two additives have the same SO 3 functional group but it seems PS is more widely used by battery manufacturers. When used alone, both additives decrease the charge transfer impedance during cycling while MMDS shows better coulombic efficiency and lower charge end point capacity slippage rate than PS. Compared with 2% VC, MMDS in combination with 2% VC significantly improves the coulombic efficiency and the charge slippage rate, reduces the charge transfer impedance during cycling and decreases the voltage drop during storage while the addition of PS to VC-containing electrolyte does not show this added benefit. Compared to PS, MMDS seems to be a more beneficial additive for improving cell performance.

  • DMS and methylene methanedisulfonate have been studied and show capability for low-impedance SEI formation.

    “In addition to 1,3-PS and DTD, DMS and methylene methanedisulfonate (MMDS) have also been studied, showing capability for low-impedance SEI formation [113-115].”

    From Review on Low-Temperature Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Lithium Metal Batteries (2023) · cites this paper as [115]

    The Results and Discussion (page unavailable) report that MMDS, alone or in combination, significantly decreased cell impedance after storage and cycling. The paper also describes MMDS as a film-forming additive, but the cited passages do not establish that the measured low impedance specifically belongs to the SEI. The paper studies MMDS, not DMS, so it does not support that part of the sentence. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
