Abstract
The structure and composition of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) exerts a significant influence on the fast-charging capability and stability of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, elucidating the design principles governing anode interfacial structures and revealing the kinetics and mechanisms of Li+ transport remain challenging. SEI layer. Herein, we present an efficient synthesis strategy for fabricating LIBs anodes consisting of silicon nanoparticles coated with a Li3PO4-modified carbon shell (Si@C@LPO). Through a combination of comprehensive experimental investigations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we elucidate the influence of SEI layer enriched with various inorganic components on Li+ transport. The high adsorption energy of the LiPO4-enriched SEI enhances its affinity for Li+ during the cycling process and suppresses solvent decomposition at the anode interface, thereby improving both fast-charging performance and electrode stability. Consequently, the Si@C@LPO anode exhibit a specific capacity of 605.67 mAh g-1 at 8 A g-1 and significantly enhanced cycling durability with a higher capacity retention of 73.3 % after 100 cycles at 1 A g-1. This strategy establishes a clear correlation among SEI components, Li+ transport kinetics, and the design of interfacial structures in high performance LIBs anode materials.
固体电解质界面相(SEI)的结构和组成对锂离子电池的快速充电能力和稳定性有重要影响。然而,阐明控制阳极界面结构的设计原则和揭示Li+输运的动力学和机制仍然具有挑战性。SEI层。在此,我们提出了一种高效的合成策略,用于制造由涂有li3po4修饰碳壳的硅纳米颗粒组成的lib阳极(Si@C@LPO)。通过综合实验研究和密度泛函理论(DFT)计算相结合,我们阐明了富含各种无机组分的SEI层对Li+输运的影响。富含lipo4的SEI的高吸附能增强了其在循环过程中对Li+的亲和力,抑制了阳极界面的溶剂分解,从而提高了快速充电性能和电极稳定性。因此,Si@C@LPO阳极在8 a g-1下的比容量为605.67 mAh g-1,并且在1 a g-1下循环100次后,其容量保持率高达73.3%,显着提高了循环耐久性。这一策略在SEI组分、Li+输运动力学和高性能锂离子阳极材料的界面结构设计之间建立了明确的相关性。
