Book Fluorine chemistry in lithium ion and sodium ion batteries

Download or read book Fluorine chemistry in lithium ion and sodium ion batteries written by Zibing Pan and published by OAE Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2023-11-08 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the peculiar element in the Periodic Table of Elements, fluorine gas owns the highest standard electrode potential of 2.87 V vs. F-, and a fluorine atom has the maximum electronegativity. Benefiting from the prominent property, fluorine plays an important role in the development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) in terms of cathode materials (transition metal fluorides, fluorinated polyanionic compounds), electrolytes, and interfaces. In cathode materials, the highly electronegative renders enhanced ionic character of transition metal fluorine bonds and correspondingly high working potential in electrolytes; fluorinated electrolytes possess good antioxidant ability and flame retardance, which can significantly improve the thermal safety of a battery. On an electrode-electrolyte interface, the fluorine-rich inorganic component (such as LiF and NaF) is essential for the formation of a robust and stable solid electrolyte interface on anodes. Despite the remarkable advances achieved in fluorinated cathodes, electrolytes, and interfaces, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding of the function of fluorides in LIBs and SIBs. Accordingly, this review briefly summarized the recent progress of fluorine-based electrodes, electrolytes, and interfaces and highlighted the correlation between the composition, property, and function to reveal the fluorine chemistry in LIBs and SIBs. This review will provide guidance for the rational design and targeted regulation of fluorine-dominated high-performance electrode materials, functionalized electrolytes, and consolidated interfaces.

Download or read book Na ion Batteries written by and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers both the fundamental and applied aspects of advanced Na-ion batteries (NIB) which have proven to be a potential challenger to Li-ion batteries. Both the chemistry and design of positive and negative electrode materials are examined. In NIB, the electrolyte is also a crucial part of the batteries and the recent research, showing a possible alternative to classical electrolytes – with the development of ionic liquid-based electrolytes – is also explored. Cycling performance in NIB is also strongly associated with the quality of the electrode-electrolyte interface, where electrolyte degradation takes place; thus, Na-ion Batteries details the recent achievements in furthering knowledge of this interface. Finally, as the ultimate goal is commercialization of this new electrical storage technology, the last chapters are dedicated to the industrial point of view, given by two startup companies, who developed two different NIB chemistries for complementary applications and markets.

Their contributions are based on the latest published findings as well as their own firsthand laboratory experience. Figures throughout the book help readers understand the concepts underlying the latest efforts to advance the science of batteries and develop new materials. Readers will also find a bibliography at the end of each chapter to facilitate further research into individual topics. Lithium Batteries provides electrochemistry students and researchers with a snapshot of current efforts to improve battery performance as well as the tools needed to advance their own research efforts.

Book Lithium ion Batteries

Download or read book Lithium ion Batteries written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the first machine-generated scientific book in chemistry published by Springer Nature. Serving as an innovative prototype defining the current status of the technology, it also provides an overview about the latest trends of lithium-ion batteries research. This book explores future ways of informing researchers and professionals. State-of-the-art computer algorithms were applied to: select relevant sources from Springer Nature publications, arrange these in a topical order, and provide succinct summaries of these articles. The result is a cross-corpora auto-summarization of current texts, organized by means of a similarity-based clustering routine in coherent chapters and sections. This book summarizes more than 150 research articles published from 2016 to 2018 and provides an informative and concise overview of recent research into anode and cathode materials as well as further aspects such as separators, polymer electrolytes, thermal behavior and modelling. With this prototype, Springer Nature has begun an innovative journey to explore the field of machine-generated content and to find answers to the manifold questions on this fascinating topic. Therefore it was intentionally decided not to manually polish or copy-edit any of the texts so as to highlight the current status and remaining boundaries of machine-generated content. Our goal is to initiate a broad discussion, together with the research community and domain experts, about the future opportunities, challenges and limitations of this technology."--Publisher's website.
