Seminar
Development of novel electrolyte additives for designed surface modification
Thursday, 19 November 2015, 14:00-15:30
Institute of Nanotechnology Seminar room 0-167
Talk given by
Prof. Brett L. Lucht
Department of Chemistry
Rhode Island University
USA
Abstract: An investigation of the effect of electrolyte on performance of in lithium ion batteries will be presented The electrochemical performance of common electrolyte formulations will be
discussed along with detailed ex-situ surface analysis of the cycled electrodes. The ex-situ
analysis allows the development of an understanding of the role of the electrolyte and common
additives in the structure of interfacial electrode films on both the anode (solid electrolyte
interphase, SEI) and on the cathode. Correlation of the structure of the surface films with the
performance limiting reactions in lithium ion batteries affords insight into the mechanism of
interfacial film formation and function. The mechanistic insight is used to systematically develop
novel additives designed for specific electrode surface modification to afford optimized
electrochemical performance. The electrochemical performance and ex-situ surface analysis of
electrodes cycled with novel Additives for Designed Surface Modification (ADSM) will be
presented.
