Article Abstract

The photoredox reaction of trisoxalato cobaltate (III) has been studied by means of ultrafast extended x-ray absorption fine structure and optical transient spectroscopy after excitation in the charge-transfer band with 267-nm femtosecond pulses. The Co-O transient bond length changes and the optical spectra and kinetics have been measured and compared with those of ferrioxalate. Data presented here strongly suggest that both of these metal oxalato complexes operate under similar photoredox reaction mechanisms where the primary reaction involves the dissociation of a metal-oxygen bond. These results also indicate that excitation in the charge-transfer band is not a sufficient condition for the intramolecular electron transfer to be the dominant photochemistry reaction mechanism.

The dehydrofluorination effect of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) induced by ceramic fillers with an alkaline surface compromises the comprehensive properties of the solid composite electrolyte (SCE) and leads to the deficient performance of the solid-state lithium metal batteries (SLMBs). In this work, a unique PVDF-based double-layer solid electrolyte was fabricated, which consisted of a LiLaZrTaO (LLZTO)-filled SCE with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) as an alkalinity-scavenging agent in contact with the Li anode, and another SCE with lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) as a film-formation additive facing the cathode. It is found that a moderate amount of PAA relieves the dehydrofluorination degree of the PVDF matrix and improves the Li plating/stripping reversibility, and the addition of LiDFOB is involved in the formation of a stable passivation film on the cathode.

All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs) have been regarded as promising candidates to settle the safety issues of liquid electrolytes for rechargeable lithium batteries. However, the currently reported gel polymer electrolytes still have flammable liquid solvents, thus leading to the potential safety hazard. Here, solvent-free deep eutectic solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are designed and fabricated via an polymerization, which are composed of a poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) electrospun membrane, succinonitrile (SN), poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA200, = 200 g mol), lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI), and lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB).

Lithium (Li) metal anodes are considered one of the most promising anodes for high-performance batteries with ultra-high specific energy density. However, uncontrolled dendrite growth and the unsuitability of common systems for high voltage hinder the development of Li metal batteries with long cycle life. Herein, we report a rationally designed artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) for Li metal anodes, incorporating LiNO and lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) as additives within a porous poly (vinylidene fluoride--hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) polymer skeleton (referred to as PNF).
