Gel Combustion Method

LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4material was synthesized by PVP-assisted gel-combustion method and examined as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, working together with a room temperature ionic liquid electrolyte and a lithium metal anode. The LiTFSI-Pp13TFSI ionic liquid electrolyte was obtained by dissolution of solid lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI) in liquid N-methyl-N-propylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) amide (Pp13TFSI). The LiNi0.5- Mn1.5O4/LiTFSI-Pp13TFSI/Li cell was tested by galvanostatic charging/discharging and compared with standard carbonate/LiPF6electrolyte. At low current (0.05 C) density, the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4/ LiTFSI-Pp13TFSI/Li cell exhibited stable cycling for 11 cycles, but it degraded rapidly in subsequent cycles. Preliminary tests showed that both the cathode and anode interfacial reaction contributed to the rapid degradation.

We explore a novel ether aided superconcentrated ionic liquid electrolyte; a combination of ionic liquid, <i>N</i>-propyl-<i>N</i>-methylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (C<sub>3</sub>mpyrFSI) and ether solvent, <i>1,2</i> dimethoxy ethane (DME) with 3.2 mol/kg LiFSI salt, which offers an alternative ion-transport mechanism and improves the overall fluidity of the electrolyte. The molecular dynamics (MD) study reveals that the coordination environment of lithium in the ether aided ionic liquid system offers a coexistence of both the ether DME and FSI anion simultaneously and the absence of ‘free’, uncoordinated DME solvent. These structures lead to very fast kinetics and improved current density for lithium deposition-dissolution processes. Hence the electrolyte is used in a lithium metal battery against a high mass loading (~12 mg/cm<sup>2</sup>) LFP cathode which was cycled at a relatively high current rate of 1mA/cm<sup>2</sup> for 350 cycles without capacity fading and offered an overall coulombic efficiency of >99.8 %. Additionally, the rate performance demonstrated that this electrolyte is capable of passing current density as high as 7mA/cm<sup>2</sup> without any electrolytic decomposition and offers a superior capacity retention. We have also demonstrated an ‘anode free’ LFP-Cu cell which was cycled over 50 cycles and achieved an average coulombic efficiency of 98.74%. The coordination chemistry and (electro)chemical understanding as well as the excellent cycling stability collectively leads toward a breakthrough in realizing the practical applicability of this ether aided ionic liquid electrolytes in lithium metal battery applications, while delivering high energy density in a prototype cell.
