Electrolyte and Interface Control for Battery Safety​​​


 TBA TBA Lithium-Ion Batteries/TBA

​Safety hazard issue is a weakness of state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries (LIBs), and LIB-powered EV, e-mobilities, robots, ESS, etc. Advancement of liquid electrolyte-based LIB is urgently needed, aiming at the attainment of battery safety without the loss of energy density and cycle ​life. Replacement of highly flammable LIB electrolyte with a nonflammable liquid electrolyte is a critical step to reduce or prevent the risk of thermal runaway (TR) and fire events. The stability control of electrolyte-derived solid electrolyte interphase (SEI; interface) on graphite-based anode is a must for dendrite-free safe LIBs. I will present that well-designed nonflammable liquid electrolyte enables TR suppression and long-cycled high-energy LIBs​.[1]

Keywords: Battery safety, Thermal runaway, Nonflammable liquid electrolyte, Solid electrolyte interphase​ ​
