Abstract

Aqueous-based electrolytes with inherently low cost and high safety are promising electrolytes for energy storage devices. However, the narrow electrochemical window (∼1.23 V) of water limits the energy density of aqueous-based energy storage devices. Expanding the electrochemical stable window of water and simultaneously maintaining a high ionic conductivity, as well as broad temperature compatibility is highly desirable. Herein, we incorporated propylene carbonate into aqueous LiTFSI electrolyte to regulate the hydrogen bond network of water, thus expanding its electrochemical stable window up to 2.9 V while maintaining decent ionic conductivity (7.96 mS cm−1), wide temperature compatibility (−20 to 50 °C). The electron donating functional group (i.e., CAbstract ImageO) in propylene carbonate endows its strong interaction with water molecules and perturbs the pristine hydrogen bonds among water molecules, suppressing the decomposition of water. The prototypes of an EDLCs and Li-ion battery with the developed electrolyte demonstrate excellent electrochemical performance. Particularly, a 2.3 V aqueous lithium-ion battery assembled with LiMn2O4 and PTCDI shows high stability, retaining 89.2 % of its capacity after 1500 cycles and delivering an energy density of 116.6 Wh kg−1. In EDLCs, the electrolyte supports operation at up to 2.6 V with 67.3 % capacitance retention after 100, 000 cycles and wide temperature compatibility. Such work paves a new avenue for the advancement of new aqueous electrolytes simultaneously featured with broad electrochemical window, low cost, and wide temperature compatibility.
通过添加碳酸丙烯酯扩大水的电化学稳定窗口,用于水基储能装置
水基电解质具有成本低、安全性高的特点,是一种很有前途的储能电解质。然而,水的狭窄电化学窗口(~ 1.23 V)限制了水基储能装置的能量密度。扩大水的电化学稳定窗口,同时保持高离子电导率,以及广泛的温度相容性是非常可取的。本文中,我们将碳酸丙烯酯加入到LiTFSI水溶液中,以调节水的氢键网络,从而将其电化学稳定窗口扩大到2.9 V,同时保持良好的离子电导率(7.96 mS cm−1),广泛的温度相容性(−20至50 °C)。碳酸丙烯中的给电子官能团(即CO)使其与水分子有较强的相互作用,扰乱了水分子间的原始氢键,抑制了水的分解。用所研制的电解质制备的edlc和锂离子电池样品显示出优异的电化学性能。特别是,由LiMn2O4和PTCDI组装的2.3 V水锂离子电池表现出很高的稳定性,在1500次循环后保持了89.2% %的容量,并提供了116.6 Wh kg−1的能量密度。在edlc中,电解质支持高达2.6 V的工作,10万次循环后电容保持率为67.3% %,温度兼容性广。这些工作为开发具有宽电化学窗口、低成本和宽温度相容性的新型水溶液电解质开辟了新的途径。

期刊介绍: The Chemical Engineering Journal is an international research journal that invites contributions of original and novel fundamental research. It aims to provide an international platform for presenting original fundamental research, interpretative reviews, and discussions on new developments in chemical engineering. The journal welcomes papers that describe novel theory and its practical application, as well as those that demonstrate the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. It also welcomes reports on carefully conducted experimental work that is soundly interpreted. The main focus of the journal is on original and rigorous research results that have broad significance. The Catalysis section within the Chemical Engineering Journal focuses specifically on Experimental and Theoretical studies in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, molecular catalysis, and biocatalysis. These studies have industrial impact on various sectors such as chemicals, energy, materials, foods, healthcare, and environmental protection.
