In next-gen lithium-metal batteries, the liquid between the electrodes, called the electrolyte, corrodes the surfaces of electrodes, forming a thin, squishy layer called SEI. To make atomic-scale images of this layer in its native environment, researchers inserted a metal grid into a working coin cell battery (left).
As the electrolyte is removed, the SEI dries out and shrinks (arrows) to about half its previous thickness. SLAC and Stanford researchers used cryo-EM to make the first clear, detailed images of the SEI layer in the wet environment of a working battery. The results suggest new ways to improve the performance of next-gen batteries.
Batteries function in a closed environment and only when the device is opened can researchers analyze the state of the electrolyte and electrode materials, hence necessarily retrospective with the system possibly altered by change of conditions from operating ones.
In lithium-ion batteries, the electrochemical instability of the electrolyte and its ensuing reactive decomposition proceeds at the anode surface within the Helmholtz double layer resulting in a buildup of the reductive products, forming the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).
They found 4- (perfluorooctyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-one improved capacity retention and lowered impedance in high voltage lithium ion batteries. These pre-formed SEI layers were found to protect the cathode from electrolyte decomposition as well as the anode.
2. Background The anode SEI layer is formed from the so-called “lithium inventory” of the cathode and electrolyte salt, which is the total amount of lithium available for building the SEI and initial charging of the cell, and there is a delicate balance between the ideal surface area the anode should have and the energy and power density of an LIB.
