Complex Ion Dynamics in Carbonate Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolytes

Conjugated polymer energy level shifts in lithium-ion battery electrolytes.

The ionization potentials (IPs) and electron affinities (EAs) of widely used conjugated polymers are evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) in conventional electrochemical and lithium-ion battery media, and also by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) in vacuo. By comparing the data obtained in the different systems, it is found that the IPs of the conjugated polymer films determined by c...

Superconcentrated electrolytes for a high-voltage lithium-ion battery

Finding a viable electrolyte for next-generation 5 V-class lithium-ion batteries is of primary importance. A long-standing obstacle has been metal-ion dissolution at high voltages. The LiPF6 salt in conventional electrolytes is chemically unstable, which accelerates transition metal dissolution of the electrode material, yet beneficially suppresses oxidative dissolution of the aluminium current...

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Lithium Ion Diffusion in Lithium Ion Battery

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation can do research on the macroscopic properties of certain object and also the microscopic details which cannot be available through experiments. So the method is widely used in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology and materials science etc. This article is organized as follows. The widely use of lithium ion battery, its component, working principle is brie...
