The Interaction of Ether-Based Functionalized Ionic Liquids in Lithium-Sulfur Batteries: A First-Principles Study.
Ionic liquids (ILs) as electrolytes in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries effectively mitigate the shuttle effect. Solvated cationic ether-based ILs, comprising [Li(G1)2]+, [Li(G2)2]+, [LiG3]+, [LiG4]+, or [LiG6]+ paired with bis(trifluoromethyllsulfonyl)imide ([TFSA]-) anions, are evaluated for their ability to suppress short-chain lithium polysulfide (LiPS: Li2S1, Li2S2, Li2S4) adsorption on lithium metal. The chelating capacity of solvated cations governs interactions with LiPSs and anions. Solvation via Li+ chelation prevents free Li+ fusion with LiPSs, reducing shuttle effects. Remarkably, the cyclic [LiG6]+ cation exhibits superior Li+ chelation, stability, and minimized LiPS adsorption compared to linear cations. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations confirm ether-based ILs stabilize anions and lower LiPS-lithium surface reactivity. These findings highlight solvated cation ILs as tailored electrolytes to control interfacial LiPS behavior, advancing high-performance LiS battery design.
