Research and Development of Thermally Durable Electrolyte for Lithium Ion Battery
For ensuring safety of lithium ion batteries (LIBs), we have extensively investigated the quasi-solid electrolyte where lithium ion conducive liquid is quasi-solidified at silica surfaces as thermally durable electrolyte, and applied it to high capacity and high energy density LIB. For the liquid ph...

For ensuring safety of lithium ion batteries (LIBs), we have extensively investigated the quasi-solid electrolyte where lithium ion conducive liquid is quasi-solidified at silica surfaces as thermally durable electrolyte, and applied it to high capacity and high energy density LIB. For the liquid phase, a solvate ionic liquid, which is an equimolar complex of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (LiTFSA) and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (G4), Li(G4)TFSA, was used. For enhancing discharge capability at a higher rate, Li(G4)TFSA was diluted by low viscos solvent such as propylene carbonate (PC). The developed electrolyte possessed a favorable volatilization temperature higher than 373 K. A 100-Wh-class laminated LIB with energy density of 363 Wh L−1 was fabricated by employing the electrolyte to graphite-LiNixCoyMnzO2 chemistry, and it generated neither fire nor smoke in a nail-penetration test. The result suggest that the developed LIB has high safety compared to a LIB comprised of a conventional organic liquid electrolyte. In addition, to enhance the cycle life of the LIB, the formation and growth mechanism of a solid-electrolyte interphase on a graphite-based negative electrode was investigated.
