Abstract

Fast-charging lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are essential for electric vehicles (EVs) to compete with conventional gasoline ones in terms of charging viability, yet the aggressive capacity drop in fast-charging scenarios gives rise to concerns regarding durability and sustainability. Herein, it is clarified that for fast-charging batteries, the excessive lithium (Li) plating on graphite anode inevitably brings capacity fading, and the concurrent accumulation of Li2O-dominant passivation species that form dead Li is the main reason for their poor rechargeability. To refresh the passivated graphite, a voltage-induced activation mechanism is developed to leverage bromide (Br/Br3) redox couple for Li2O and isolated Li0 activation in situ. Along with a tiny amount of lithium bromide (LiBr) added into the electrolyte, the cut-off voltage of activation processes is controlled to initiate and maximize the effectiveness of Br/Br3 redox couple. The capacity of degraded fast-charging cells can increase from lower than 30 to ≈118 mAh g−1 before and after the activation, respectively. Notably, the process is not one-off; a subsequent activation is feasible. For the same battery that suffered from another round of fast charging, this design still restores the reversible capacity to ≈100 mAh g−1. Such a voltage-mediated mechanism can effectively prolong the service life of practical fast-charging batteries.

电压诱导的溴化物氧化还原可恢复快速充电电池的容量
快速充电锂离子电池(lib)对于电动汽车(ev)在充电可行性方面与传统汽油电池竞争至关重要,但快速充电场景中容量的急剧下降引发了对耐用性和可持续性的担忧。本文阐明了对于快充电池,石墨阳极上过量的锂离子沉积不可避免地会导致容量衰退,而li2o优势钝化物质的同时积累形成死锂是其可充电性差的主要原因。为了更新钝化石墨,开发了一种电压诱导活化机制,利用溴化(Br−/Br3−)氧化还原偶对原位活化Li2O和分离Li0。在电解液中加入微量的溴化锂(LiBr),控制激活过程的截止电压,以启动并最大化Br−/Br3−氧化还原对的有效性。降解后的快速充电电池在激活前和激活后的容量分别从低于30 mAh g−1增加到≈118 mAh g−1。值得注意的是,这个过程不是一次性的;后续激活是可行的。对于经过另一轮快速充电的相同电池,该设计仍然将可逆容量恢复到≈100 mAh g−1。这种电压介导机制可以有效延长实用快充电池的使用寿命。
