説明:
(abstract)Lithium-air batteries (LABs) are a promising technology for high-energy-density battery storage. However, their open-cell structure for oxygen exchange leads to electrolyte evaporation, which limits cycling performance under ambient conditions. In this study, we evaluate volatile amide-based electrolytes for LABs using gravimetric analysis. The cell weight change during discharge-charge cycles confirmed the two-electron oxygen reduction/evolution reactions while also revealing that electrolyte evaporation correlates with the solvent vapor pressure. This behavior significantly compromises the cycle performance of low-viscosity amide electrolyte cells. Despite this, rate-dependent cycling experiments demonstrated the superior cyclability of the low-viscosity amide electrolyte cells at high current rates (0.8 mA cm-2 or higher), conditions under which cells with a conventional tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEG)-based LAB electrolyte failed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed that these cells exhibited improved rechargeability at high-rate cycles, with discharge product morphology changing to a more easily decomposable form. This electrolyte design strategy marks a significant advancement toward developing high-power, high-energy rechargeable LABs.
