- 요약Improving the performance of secondary batteries is crucial to the ubiquity of renewable energy technologies such as electric transport, grid storage, and the operation of advanced portable electronics. To improve the energy density of these systems, significant effort has been made to replace the graphite anode found in conventional Li-ion batteries with lithium metal. Additionally, the electrochemical kinetics of commercial batteries are currently insufficient to provide charging times comparable to standard refueling periods, and to deliver power at reduced operating temperatures. Unfortunately, applying Li metal cells under such conditions compounds these issues due to an increased risk of cell shorting due to dendritic growth and reduced cyclability of Li metal itself. To achieve such operation conditions in high-energy Li metal batteries, the kinetics barriers associated with diffusion of Li+ within the bulk of the electrode materials, migration of Li+ through the solid-electrolyte-interphase (SEI), diffusion of Li+ through the electrolyte bulk, and charge-transfer at the electrode interphase must be enhanced. Though there are well-established strategies developed to optimize the first three of these processes, understanding and designing the charge transfer process remains as a frontier.The following dissertation describes our work to understand the impact of and design the Li+ solvation structure on charge-transfer kinetics and temperature-dependent Li metal anode behavior at reduced temperature. First, we find that Li metal batteries applying conventional electrolytes ultra-low temperatures ( -30 oC) undergo catastrophic shorting events due to charge transfer limitations, which is significantly mitigated in weakly-solvated electrolytes. Second, we develop next-generation computational techniques to probe this behavior at the interface, which reveals that anion coordination of the Li+ ion hastens the desolvation process relative to conventional solvent-dominated structures. Lastly, we employ these insights to demonstrate that the charge-transfer kinetics and low-temperature Li metal performance of cells employing conventional solvents can be significantly improved through the induction of said ion-pairing. This work improves the operating versatility of high-energy Li metal batteries while advancing our understanding of the structure-defined desolvation process crucial to charge-transfer at the electrochemical interface.
