SEI Composition on Hard Carbon in Na-Ion Batteries After Long Cycling: Influence of Salts (NaPF6, NaTFSI) and Additives (FEC, DMCF)

A study of the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) on hard-carbon (HC) electrodes in sodium half-cells is presented. Electrochemical performances over > 100 cycles were compared with two different salts (NaPF6, NaTFSI) and two different electrolyte additives (FEC, DMCF) in a mixture of EC and DMC...

Descrição
Resumo:A study of the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) on hard-carbon (HC) electrodes in sodium half-cells is presented. Electrochemical performances over > 100 cycles were compared with two different salts (NaPF6, NaTFSI) and two different electrolyte additives (FEC, DMCF) in a mixture of EC and DMC solvents. The best electrochemical performances were observed with NaPF6 salt in conjunction with 3% FEC. The DMCF additive had a detrimental effect in all electrolyte combinations. The chemical characterization of the SEI was carried out by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and showed that the best electrochemical behavior was related to an SEI composition based on sodium ethylene dicarbonate and NaF, whereas poorer electrochemical performances were associated to either low NaF or high Na2CO3 content. The results reported herein provide an insight on the SEI chemistry on hard carbon electrodes in sodium cells after long-term cycling, as a complement to previous studies dealing with the first cycles.
