However, the Li ion conduction pathway within these composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) remains predominantly within the polymer matrix if the filler particles are only physically mixed. The surface modification of filler particles can improve the interfacial compatibility and ionic conductivity.

Inspired by dipolar modification of electrodes for photovoltaic applications, we introduced conformationally-labile permanent dipoles at the electrochemical electrode interface to dynamically modulate charge transfer kinetics across the interface. Polyacrylic acid (PAA) binder modified with the dipole-bearing molecule 3-cyanopropyltriethoxysilane displays a 17% increase in capacity retention <em>versus</em> unmodified PAA binder. Differential capacity analysis shows a marked cathodic shift of ∼150 mV in overpotential in the pre-alloying voltage range following the initial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation step. At the same time, we observe negligible shift in overpotential for reversible lithium-ion storage, consistent with selective modulation of irreversible reaction kinetics. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicates that this modification results in a thinner SEI layer. Despite the improved performance, the charge transfer resistance of the half-cell is higher with the modification, suggesting some opportunity for improving the strategy. Time-resolved spectroelectrochemical analysis of desolvation kinetics in modified binders indicates that the modified binder has slower and less selective ion transport. We conclude that future iterations of this strategy which avoid disrupting the beneficial ionic transport properties of the binder would result in even greater performance enhancement. We propose that this may be accomplished by incorporating oligomeric dipolar modifiers, either in the binder or at the active material itself. Either way would increase the ratio of dipoles to PAA linking sites, thus avoiding the competing deleterious impacts on device performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":72913,"journal":{"name":"Energy advances","volume":" 9","pages":" 2186-2199"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2024/ya/d4ya00418c?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142174055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Renewable energy-powered configurations result in significantly lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than traditional methanol production methods and DAC systems powered by conventional grid energy. Energy configurations analyzed are current US grid mix, solar photovoltaic (PV) in Alabama and Arizona, USA, onshore wind, run-of-river hydroelectric, and geothermal.
