Abstract
Lithium-metal batteries comprising a single-ion conducting polymer electrolyte and a nickel-rich LiNi1-x-yCoxMnyO2 (NCM) positive electrode (cathode) potentially offer very high energy density and great safety. However, such cell chemistry is very demanding concerning the required interfacial stability of the polymer electrolyte, and the realization of high mass loading cathodes remains a great challenge. Herein, the development of a new single-ion conducting multi-block copolymer electrolyte including trifluoromethyl groups in the ionophilic block is reported. After ethylene carbonate (EC) is incorporated into the self-standing and easily processable polymer membranes, high ionic conductivity along with very high limiting current density and suitable anodic stability are obtained. These enable stable cycling of Li∥NCM811 cells─also at high C rates (up to 5C) and active material mass loadings of the NCM811 cathode of >10 mg cm–2, which are both key steps toward the potential commercialization of this class of electrolytes.

期刊介绍:
ACS Energy Letters is a monthly journal that publishes papers reporting new scientific advances in energy research. The journal focuses on topics that are of interest to scientists working in the fundamental and applied sciences. Rapid publication is a central criterion for acceptance, and the journal is known for its quick publication times, with an average of 4-6 weeks from submission to web publication in As Soon As Publishable format.
ACS Energy Letters is ranked as the number one journal in the Web of Science Electrochemistry category. It also ranks within the top 10 journals for Physical Chemistry, Energy & Fuels, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology.
The journal offers several types of articles, including Letters, Energy Express, Perspectives, Reviews, Editorials, Viewpoints and Energy Focus. Additionally, authors have the option to submit videos that summarize or support the information presented in a Perspective or Review article, which can be highlighted on the journal's website. ACS Energy Letters is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service/SciFinder, EBSCO-summon, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Portico.
