Abstract The performance of lithium-ion battery is highly dependent on its interfacial chemistry, which is regulated by electrolytes. Conventional electrolyte typically contains polar solvents to dissociate Li salts. Here, we report a novel weakly-solvating electrolyte (WSE) that consists of a pure non-polar solvent, which leads to a peculiar solvation structure where ion pairs and aggregates prevail under a low salt concentration of 1.0 M. Importantly, WSE forms unique anion-derived interphases on graphite electrodes that exhibit fast-charging and long-term cycling characteristics. First-principles calculations unravel a general principle that the competitive coordination between anions and solvents to Li ion is the origin of different interfacial chemistries. By bridging the gap between solution thermodynamics and interfacial chemistry in batteries, this work opens a brand-new way towards precise electrolyte engineering for energy storage devices with desired properties.

For decades, improvements in electrolytes and electrodes have driven the development of electrochemical energy storage devices. Generally, electrodes and electrolytes should not be developed separately due to the importance of the interaction at their interface. The energy storage ability and safety of energy storage devices are in fact determined by the arrangement of ions and electrons between the electrode and the electrolyte. In this paper, the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors using ionic liquids (ILs) as an electrolyte are reviewed. Additionally, the energy storage device ILs developed over the last decade are introduced.

Extended interphases are playing an increasingly important role in electrochemical energy storage devices and, in particular, in lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries. With this in mind we initially address the differences between the concepts of interface and interphase. After that, we discuss in detail the mechanisms of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation in Li-ion batteries. Then, we analyze the methods for interphase characterization, with emphasis put on in-situ and operando approaches. Finally, we look at the near future by addressing the issues underlying the lithium metal/electrolyte interface, and the emerging role played by the cathode electrolyte interphase when high voltage materials are employed.

The growth of the lithium-ion battery market is accelerating. Although they are widely used in various fields, ranging from mobile devices to large-capacity energy storage devices, stability has always been a problem, which is a critical disadvantage of lithium-ion batteries. If the battery is unstable, which usually occurs at the end of its life, problems such as overheating and overcurrent during charge-discharge increase. In this paper, we propose a method to accurately predict battery life in order to secure battery stability. Unlike the existing methods, we propose a method of assessing the life of a battery by estimating the irreversible energy from the basic law of entropy using voltage, current, and time in a realistic dimension. The life estimation accuracy using the proposed method was at least 91.6%, and the accuracy was higher than 94% when considering the actual used range. The experimental results proved that the proposed method is a practical and effective method for estimating the life of lithium-ion batteries.

This article provides a comparative analysis of various energy storage devices. A detailed review and analysis of molecular energy storage units is carried out, their main characteristics and parame-ters, as well as their application areas, are determined. The main types of molecular energy storage are determined: electric double layer capacitors, pseudo capacitors, hybrid capacitors. Comparison of the characteristics of various batteries is given. The parameters of various energy storage devices are presented. The analysis of molecular energy storage devices and accumulators is carried out. Ttheir advantages and disadvantages are revealed. It has been shown that molecular energy storage or double layer electrochemical capacitors are ideal energy storage systems due to their high specific energy, fast charging and long life compared to conventional capacitors. The article presents oscillograms of a lithium-ion battery with a voltage of 10.8 V at a pulsed load current of 2A of a laptop with and without a molecular energy storage device, as well as oscil-lograms of a laptop with DVD lithium-ion battery with a voltage of 10.8 V with a parallel shutdown of a molecular energy storage device with a capacity of 7 F and without it. The comparative analysis shows that when the molecular energy storage unit with a 7 F capacity is switched on and off, transient processes are significantly improved and there are no supply voltage dips. The dependenc-es of the operating time of a 3.6 V 600 mAh lithium-ion battery at a load of 2 A for powering mo-bile cellular devices with and without a molecular energy storage are given. It is shown that when the molecular energy storage device is switched on, the battery operation time increases by almost 20%.
