Fast Li-ion battery chemistry enabled by small-sized solvent
摘要
Carbonate-based electrolytes, known for their high solvation energy and high ionic conductivity at room temperature, present significant challenges in ultra-low temperature and fast charging applications. In the February issue of Nature, Fan and colleagues demonstrated that utilizing solvents like fluoroacetonitrile with small molecular size and low solvation energy, facilitates the creation of rapid ion-conduction ligand channels and enables the formation of an inorganic-rich interphase for high-performance ionic batteries, effectively addressing the aforementioned challenges.
