Abstract:

The ionic liquid, l-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis- (trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide (EMITFSI) was studied as an electrolyte for rechargeable lithium batteries. This work focused on two main topics: cathodic stability and lithium ion transport. The ionic liquid was synthesised and purified until Br < 40 ,vtppm, H20 < 2 ppm. Effects of water on the cathodic stability limit were studied using a platinum microdisc electrode and a :gold microdisc electrode array. The response of the cathodic current on the water concentration suggests catalytic decomposition of EMr with moisture. The cathodic potential limit shifted negative with addition of lithium salt, especially on a nickel microelectrode, so that deposition and stripping current for lithium was observed. This is attributed to the formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI). Evidence for the formation of a SEI was also found from cyclic voltammograms and impedance spectra for lithium metal electrodes as well as open circuit cell potentials. Addition of LiTFSI to EMITFSI resulted in a decrease in the conductivity (e.g., from 10.5 to 5.6 mS cm-l for 0.47 mol dm-3 ) and the lithium ion diffusion coefficient was found to be 1.2 x 10-7 cm2 SÃ‚Â·l for 0.47 mol dm-3 added Li salt. The transference number for .lithium ions) in LiTFSI / EMITFSI was found to be proportional to the concentration of the lithium salt. The measured value of 0.04 for 0.47 mol dm-3 is significantly higher than that of LiBF4 / EMIBF4 at the same concentration and temperature. This may be explained with two factors; the differences in size and dissociation level ofthe anions. The charge / discharge rate performanceÃ‚Â· of LiFeP04 carbon composite electrodes with various thicknesses in different concentrations of LiTFSI I EMITFSI electrolytes was studied using 3-electrode cells. At fast charge or discharge rates, discharge capacities were approximately inversely proportional to C-rate, suggesting that the capacities were controlled by lithium ion diffusion in the pores of the composite electrode. Differences in rate perfonnance were found between charge and discharge and for different concentrations of lithium salt in the ionic liquid. Two models are proposed to explain above phenomena; a transmission circuit to represent electrolyte resistance, and a salt depletion model simplified by the assumption of a compact discharge front. An optimised cell was designed and constructed according to the above fmdings, using a 14 LiFeP04 positive electrode, mol dm-3 LiTFSI / EMITFSI and a lithium negative electrode. The cell gave a discharge capacity of more than 100 mAh g-l over 850 cycles.

Abstract:

The demand for electric vehicles is increasing rapidly as the world is preparing for a fossil fuel-free future in the automotive field. Lithium battery technologies are the most effective options to replace fossil fuels due to their higher energy densities. However, safety remains a major concern in using lithium as the anode, and the development of non-volatile, non-flammable, high conductivity electrolytes is of great importance. In this dissertation, a gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) consisting of ionic liquid, lithium salt, and a polymer has been developed for their application in lithium batteries. A comparative study between GPE and ionic liquid electrolyte (ILE) containing batteries shows a superior cyclic performance up to 5C rate and a better rate capability for 40 cycles for cells with GPE at room temperature. The improvement is attributed to GPE’s improved stability voltage window against lithium as well as higher lithium transference number. The performance of the GPE in lithium-sulfur battery system using sulfur-CNT cathodes shows superior rate capability for the GPE versus ILE for up to 1C rates. Also, GPE containing batteries had higher capacity retention versus ILE when cycled for 500 cycles vii at C/2 rate. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies reveal interfacial impedances for ILE containing batteries grew faster than in GPE batteries. The accumulation of insoluble Li2S2/Li2S on the electrodes decreases the active material thus contributes to capacity fading. SEM imaging of cycled cathodes reveals cracks on the surface of cathode recovered from ILE batteries. On the other hand, the improved electrochemical performance of GPE batteries indicates better and more stable passivation layer formation on the surface of the electrodes. Composite GPE (cGPE) containing micro glass fillers were studied to determine their electrochemical performance in Li batteries. GPE with 1 wt% micro fillers show superior rate capability for up to 7C and also cyclic stability for 300 cycles at C/2 rate. In situ, EIS also reveals a rapid increase in charge transfer resistance in GPE batteries, responsible for lowering the capacity during cycling. Improved ion transport properties due to ion-complex formations in the presence of the micro fillers, is evidenced by improved lithium transference number, ionic conduction, and ion-pair dissociation detected using Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract:

Les électrolytes sont au cœur des batteries et des supercondensateurs et leur rôle premier est de conduire les ions, et même si leurs spécifications sont en fait plus complexes : stabilité chimique, grande tension de cellule, conductivité élevée. Cependant, selon la conception des molécules qui composent le cation et/ou l'anion, leur fonction pourrait s'étendre. Les liquides ioniques se prêtent particulièrement bien à cette fonctionnalisation de par leurs propriétés intéressantes en tant qu’électrolyte et leur facilité de synthèse. Dans le domaine des supercondensateurs, la densité d'énergie est une limite technologique. Pour y répondre, une stratégie innovante est l’ajout de molécules redox à l'électrolyte pour participer au stockage de charge. Malgré la promesse d'augmenter les densités énergétiques (ou capacités apparentes), l’utilisation d’électrolyte redox fait face à deux limites clairement identifiées : (1) la diffusion des molécules redox diminuent l'efficacité coulombique et (2) l'autodécharge est importante. L'une de ces possibilités est l'utilisation de liquides ioniques biredox (2 couples oxydo-réducteur). Ce travail de thèse s’est concentré sur l’étude des dynamiques d’électrolytes à base de liquides ioniques redox pour une application en supercondensateur. L’effet du confinement des électrolytes redox dans la porosité des électrodes de carbone a été plus particulièrement étudié. Cela a permis de mettre en avant des interactions différentes, entre diffusion et adsorption, entre les liquides ioniques redox et les électrodes. S’il ne répond pas à toute nos questions, le formalisme utilisé pour comprendre ces dynamiques électrochimiques différentes a permis d’allier théorie et expérimentation pour aller toujours plus loin dans la compréhension des interactions des liquides ioniques redox comme électrolyte pour le stockage de l’énergie
Electrolytes are at the heart of batteries and supercapacitors and their primary role is to conduct ions, and even if their specifications are actually more complex: chemical stability, high cell voltage, high conductivity. However, depending on the design of the molecules that compose the cation and/or anion, their function could be expanded. Ionic liquids are particularly suitable for this functionalization because of their interesting properties as an electrolyte and their ease of synthesis.In the field of supercapacitors, energy density is a technological limitation. To address this, an innovative strategy is the addition of redox molecules to the electrolyte to participate in charge storage. Despite the promise to increase energy densities (or apparent capacities), the use of redox electrolyte faces two clearly identified limitations: (1) the diffusion of redox molecules decreases the coulombic efficiency and (2) the self-discharge is important. One of these possibilities is the use of biredox ionic liquids (2 oxidation-reducing pairs). This thesis work focused on the study of electrolyte dynamics based on redox ionic liquids for supercapacitor application. The effect of the confinement of redox electrolytes in the porosity of carbon electrodes has been studied. Thanks to this, the different interactions as diffusion and adsorption between redox ionic liquids and electrodes are described. The formalism used to understand these different electrochemical dynamics allow us to combine theory and experimentation to go ever further in understanding the interactions of redox ionic liquids as an electrolyte for energy storage

Abstract:

Finally, the study revealed some remarkable new insights into methanol oxidation in [dema] [TfO]. In particular, trace water within the protic ionic liquid plays a significant role and oxidation of trace water at Pt provides the Pt oxide species necessary for the "bifunctional" surface reaction between adsorbed carbon monoxide and oxides, in a similar manner to that observed in conventional aqueous electrolytes. The overpotential for methanol oxidation in [dema][TfO] was drastically higher than that observed in aqueous electrolytes, it also decreased with increasing water content of the ionic liquid. Overall, the study revealed some of the key processes responsible for the high activity of Pt-based fuel cell electrocatalysts in protic ionic liquid electrolytes. The work discussed in this Thesis may provide a starting point for the development of novel electrocatalysts for protic ionic liquids fuel cells

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2007.
Includes bibliographical references.
In this dissertation, the microfabricated electrode (MFE) concept was applied to the design of an air electrode for liquid electrolyte fuel cells. The catalyst layer of the electrode is envisioned to be fabricated by using a microfabricated die to apply a three-dimensionally patterned macro-texture upon a microporous carbon matrix. The resulting dual porosity structure consists of an array of cylindrical holes that are formed from the die and micropores present in the carbon matrix. The holes are used for gas transport while the micropores are saturated with a liquid electrolyte for ion transport. The catalyst is loaded into the microfabricated structure by electrodepositing thin catalyst films within the cylindrical holes. In this dissertation, three issues concerning the design of the MFE were investigated: 1) identification of the best material to use for the microporous carbon matrix, 2) the study of electrokinetic parameters of electrodeposited Pt films, and 3) the study of oxygen transport behavior within a Pt film supported on the surface of a microporous carbon matrix. Two types of polymer-bonded carbon materials have been identified as suitable materials for the carbon matrix. They are carbon black particles bonded into a microporous matrix either by polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibrils or by polyethersulfone (PES), which is a soluble polymer in common solvents. Experiments and modeling have indicated that these materials will allow the microfabricated catalyst layer to have an effective ionic conductivity that is 4 to 5 times greater than the conventional catalyst layer. Rotating disk electrode experiments on electrodeposited Pt films in 0.5 M sulfuric acid show that these films have an oxygen reduction reaction mass activity that is 2.5 times greater than that of Pt particles supported on carbon black.
(cont.) Furthermore, oxygen gain experiments on electrodeposited Pt films supported on a microporous membrane indicate that these films experienced no oxygen transport losses in air, up to a current density of 130 mA/cm2. These results strongly support the use of thin catalyst film technology in catalyst layers of fuel cells. The experimental results presented this dissertation were used to develop a half-cell model of the MFE in concentrated phosphoric acid. The results of the model suggest that the MFE is capable of producing a current density 3.5 times greater than that of the conventional electrode. It is believed that such potential improvements in the performance of the air electrode support continued efforts to fabricate and test the MFE design concept presented in this dissertation.

Abstract:

The long-term outdoor durability of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is still a challenging issue for the large-scale commercial application of this promising photovoltaic technique. In order to study the degradation mechanism of DSSCs, ageing tests under selected accelerating conditions were carried out. The electrolyte is a crucial component of the device. The interactions between the electrolyte and other device components were unraveled during the ageing test, and this is the focus of this thesis. The dynamics and the underlying effects of these interactions on the DSSC performance were studied. Co(bpy)32+/3+-mediated solar cells sensitized by triphenylamine-based organic dyes are systems of main interest. The changes with respect to the configuration of both labile Co(bpy)32+ and apparently inert Co(bpy)33+ redox complexes under different ageing conditions have been characterized, emphasizing the ligand exchange problem due to the addition of Lewis-base-type electrolyte additives and the unavoidable presence of oxygen. Both beneficial and adverse effects on the DSSC performance have been separately discussed in the short-term and long-term ageing tests. The stability of dye molecules adsorbed on the TiO2 surface and dissolved in the electrolyte has been studied by monitoring the spectral change of the dye, revealing the crucial effect of cation-based additives and the cation-dependent stability of the device photovoltage. The dye/TiO2 interfacial electron transfer kinetics were compared for the bithiophene-linked dyes before and after ageing in the presence of Lewis base additives; the observed change being related to the light-promoted and Lewis-base-assisted performance enhancement. The effect of electrolyte co-additives on passivating the counter electrode was also observed. The final chapter shows the effect of electrolyte composition on the electrolyte diffusion limitation from the perspectives of cation additive options, cation concentration and solvent additives respectively. Based on a comprehensive analysis, suggestions have been made regarding lithium-ion-free and polymer-in-salt strategies, and also regarding cobalt complex degradation and the crucial role of Lewis base additives. The fundamental studies contribute to the understanding of DSSC chemistry and provide a guideline towards achieving efficient and stable DSSCs.

Resumo: Neste trabalho foram investigados eletrólitos poliméricos baseados em poli(óxido de etileno-co-2-(2-metoxietoxi) etilglicidiléter) - P(EO-EM) com adição do oligômero dibenzoato de etileno-glicol (DIB)/LiI/I2 e poli(óxido de etileno-co-óxido de propileno) - P(EO-PO), com adição do líquido iônico iodeto de 1-metil-3- propilimidazólio (MPII)/I2 (com e sem a presença de LiI), visando a aplicação em células solares de TiO2/corante. Os eletrólitos foram caracterizados por Calorimetria Exploratória Diferencial (DSC), Espectroscopia de Infravermelho com Transformada de Fourier (FTIR), Ressonância Magnética Nuclear de Hidrogênio (H RMN) e Espectroscopia de Impedância Eletroquímica (EIE). Para o sistema P(EO-EM)/DIB, os estudos realizados por DSC e FTIR mostraram alta homogeneidade entre os componentes, com evidências de coordenação de sal no copolímero e no oligômero. Nas medidas de condutividade iônica, verificou-se saturação em ~10 S cm a partir de 10 % de LiI para todas as proporções de PEO-EM/DIB. Como conseqüência, a aplicação de eletrólitos com 20 % de LiI apresentou resultados bem similares, independente da proporção de DIB no sistema, indicando que os processos cinéticos relacionados ao transporte de carga são diferentes dos eletrólitos géis reportados na literatura, não sendo verificada mudança no potencial de circuito aberto (VOC) dos dispositivos. Para o sistema P(EO-PO)/MPII, as análises por DSC, FTIR e H RMN evidenciaram interações entre o oxigênio do copolímero e o hidrogênio do cátion imidazólio, possibilitando aumento na difusão do par I /I3 (estimado em 1,9x 10 cm s para o eletrólito com 70 % de MPII). A maior condutividade iônica foi obtida para o eletrólito com 70 % de MPII (2,4 x 10 S cm), possibilitando a montagem de células solares com eficiência de 5,66 %. Para todos os dispositivos, a presença de íons I3 promoveu aumento nas reações de recombinação, observando-se valores menores para o VOC com o aumento da concentração de MPII nos eletrólitos. Após a adição de LiI, não foram observadas melhores eficiências em comparação aos dispositivos montados sem a adição do sal. Esses resultados indicam que eletrólitos poliméricos baseados na combinação de polímero e líquido iônico consistem em sistemas promissores para aplicação em células solares.
Abstract: New polymer electrolytes based on poly(ethylene oxide-co-2-(2- methoxyethoxy)ethylglycidylether) - P(EO-EM) with addition of the oligomer ethyleneglycol dibenzoate (DIB)/LiI/I2, and poly(ethylene oxide-co-propylene oxide) - P(EO-PO) with addition of the ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium (MPII)/I2 (with and without LiI) were investigated in this work aiming at the application in dye-sensitized solar cells. The electrolytes were characterized using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Nuclear Magnetic Ressonance (H NMR) and Complex Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). For the P(EO-EM)/DIB system, the DSC and FTIR measurements revealed a homogeneous mixture, with evidence of coordination of the salt with both the copolymer and the oligomer. The ionic conductivity measurements presented saturation in ~10 S cm for samples containing at least 10 % of LiI, for all P(EO-EM)/DIB concentration ratios. As consequence, the solar cells assembled with electrolytes containing 20 % of LiI presented similar performance, regardless of the DIB concentration, indicating that the kinetic processes related to the charge transport in these systems are different from those usually observed for gel electrolytes (which cause changes in the open circuit potential, VOC, of the devices). For the P(EO-PO)/MPII system, the DSC, FTIR and HNMR measurements revealed the presence of interactions between the oxygen atoms in the copolymer and the hydrogen atoms from the imidazolium cation, which increased the diffusion of the I/I3 redox couple (estimated to be 1,0 x 10 cm s for the electrolyte containing 70 % if MPII). The highest ionic conductivity was observed for the electrolyte containing 70 % of MPII (2,4 x 10 S cm), leading to the assembly of solar cells with 5,66 % of efficiency. In all the devices assembled, the presence of I3 ions leads to an increase of the recombination reactions, thus reducing the VOC values. This effect is more pronounced for higher concentrations of MPII in the electrolyte. After addition of LiI to these systems, no improvements in the device efficiency were observed. These results show that polymer electrolytes based on the mixture of polymer and ionic liquids are very promissing systems for application in solar cells.

L’électrochromisme est le changement réversible de couleur d’un matériau lors de son oxydation ou de sa réduction électrochimique. Cette thèse porte sur l’étude d’électrolytes à base de liquide ionique (BMIPF6 et BMITFSI), de sel de lithium (LiTFSI) et de polymère (PMMA) et sur la préparation de systèmes électrochromes à base de ces électrolytes et du PEDOT, du Bleu de Prusse ou d'InHCF comme matériaux électrochromes. La conduction ionique mesurée par EIS, les analyses thermo gravimétriques, les spectroscopies IR et Raman et la mesure des coefficients de diffusion informent sur les interactions entre les espèces dans l'électrolyte. Les matériaux électrochromes (PEDOT, BP, InHCF) sont ensuite étudiés dans un électrolyte modèle LiTFSI 0.03 / BMITFSI 0.97. Enfin, des systèmes électrochromiques flexibles sont réalisés et leur propriétés de coloration et de cyclage étudiées
Electrochromism is the reversible colour change of a material upon electrochemical oxidation or reduction.

The measurement of ionic conductivity by EIS, thermo-gravimetric analysis, IR and Raman spectroscopy and measurement of diffusion coefficients of these electrolytes highlight the interactions between the different species of the electrolyte. Electrochromic materials (PEDOT, BP, InHCF) are then studied in a model electrolyte (LiTFSI 0.03 / 0.97 BMITFSI), their electrochromic properties are detailed. Finally, flexible electrochromic devices are made and their properties of colouration and cycling are presented

Abstract:

Dans le but d’améliorer les performances des micro-accumulateurs au lithium, de nouvelles voies de dépôt, compatibles avec des géométries texturées, sont actuellement explorées. Au cours de ce travail de thèse, un nouvel électrolyte solide déposé par voie « humide » a été développé. Ce matériau, composé d’un liquide ionique et d’un sel de lithium confinés dans une matrice solide, a été synthétisé par polymérisation in-situ d’un oligomère diméthacrylate. Afin de définir leurs caractéristiques de conduction ionique, de nouvelles méthodes, comme le suivi de la photo-polymérisation par impédance in-situ ou encore la réalisation d’un nouveau design de cellules à base de peignes interdigités, ont été développées. De plus, le transfert du lithium a été mesuré par RMN diffusionnelle. Une diminution significative de la vitesse de diffusion des ions Li+ après la photo-polymérisation a ainsi été mise en évidence. La spectroscopie Raman a permis de démontrer que celle-ci est due à la complexation des ions par les chaines de poly(oxyde d’éthylène) de la matrice solide. En outre, grâce aux observations de différentes compositions, un mécanisme de diffusion mixte des ions Li+ par migration dans le liquide et par sauts dans le solide a été identifié. Par conséquent, ces résultats nous ont permis de définir une stratégie pour améliorer la diffusion des ions Li+ : l’ajout d’un copolymère monofonctionnel a permis de diminuer la densité de réticulation de la matrice solide et ainsi d’optimiser la mobilité des chaines polymères. En effet, les performances de cyclage dans des empilements de micro-accumulateurs complets ont été améliorées. A température ambiante, ces résultats se sont révélés très proches de ceux obtenus avec l’électrolyte solide standard LiPON. En conclusion, l’analyse établie a permis de comprendre les liens entre structure et performances électrochimiques, ce qui a permis de dégager les voies d’amélioration les plus prometteuses pour ce type d’électrolytes
New deposition techniques compatible with making tridimensional geometries are currently being investigated with the aim of improving the performances of lithium microbatteries. This work focuses on the development of a new quasi-solid electrolyte deposited by a “wet process”. An ionic liquid-based membrane containing a lithium salt was prepared by the photo-induced polymerization of a dimethacrylate oligomer. New methods such as a new type of conductivity cell based on planar interdigitated electrodes to measure ionic conductivity as well as in-situ monitoring of photo-polymerization using impedance spectroscopy were used. Transport properties of lithium ion were measured by PGSE-NMR. Interestingly, a significant reduction of lithium ion mobility was observed after UV-curing while the total ionic conductivity only decreased slightly. This phenomenon is due to the formation of lithium ion complexes with ethylene oxide moieties of the solid matrix, evidenced by Raman spectroscopy measurements. Additionally, we have shown that the structures of the complexes depend on the salt concentration and a dual solid/liquid transport mechanism was suggested. Hence, in order to improve lithium ion diffusion, a co-polymer was added in an attempt to decrease the cross-linking density of the solid matrix thus improving its segmental motion. The cyclability of the all solid state micro batteries was indeed improved. Comparable performances with the standard solid electrolyte LiPON were obtained at room temperature. In summary, it was established that electrochemical performances of the solid state microbatteries depend to a certain extent on the structure of the polymer electrolyte. Therefore it is possible to find new ways in designing these types of electrolytes for further improvement

Abstract:

In this study, we investigated the effect of electrolyte composition, photoanode thickness, and the additions of GuSCN (guanidinium thiocyanate), NMB (N-methylbenimidazole), and SiO2 on the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs (dye sensitized solar cells). A bifacial DSSC is realized and irradiated from front and rear sides. The devices give maximum photovoltaic efficiencies for 70% PMII (1-propyl 3-ethylimidazoliumiodide)/30%(EMIB(CN)4)(1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetracyano borate) electrolyte composition and 10 &mu
m thick photoanode coating which is considered to be the ideal coating thickness for the diffusion length of electrolyte and dye absorption. A significant increase in the photocurrent for DSSCs with optimum molarity of 0.1 M GuSCN was observed due to decreased recombination which is believed to be surface passivation effect at photoanode electrolyte interface suppressing recombination rate. Moreover, optimum NMB molarity was found to be 0.4 for maximum efficiency. Addition of SiO2 to the electrolyte both as an overlayer and dispersed particles enhanced rear side illuminated cells where dispersed particles are found to be more efficient for the front side illuminated cells due to additional electron transport properties. Best rear side illuminated cell efficiency was 3.2% compared to front side illuminated cell efficiency of 4.2% which is a promising result for future rear side dye sensitized solar cell applications where front side illumination is not possible like tandem structures and for cells working from both front and rear side illuminations.

Abstract:

Water management in PEM fuel cells has received extensive attention for its key role in fuel cell operation. Several water management issues have been identified that needed further investigation, i.e., droplet behaviour on the GDL surface, two-phase flow patterns in gas flow channels, impact of two-phase flow on PEM fuel cell performance, impact of flow mal-distribution on PEM fuel cell performance, and mitigation of flow maldistribution. In this work, those issues were investigated based on simulations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. Using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) two-phase flow model, droplet behaviour and two-phase flow patterns in mini-channels were identified consistently in both simulations and experimental visualizations. The microstructure of the GDL was found to play a significant role in the formation of local two-phase flow patterns, and the wettability of both GDL and channel wall materials greatly impacted on the two-phase flow patterns. A novel 1+3D two-phase flow and reaction model was developed to study the impact of two-phase flow on PEM fuel cell performances. The existence of two-phase flow, especially the slug flow, in gas flow channels was found to be detrimental to the fuel cell performance and stability. Uneven liquid flow distribution into two parallel gas channels significantly reduces the fuel cell output voltage because of the induced severe non-uniform gas distribution, which should be avoided in the operation due to its negative effect on the fuel cell performance and durability. Finally, several maldistribution mitigation methods were tested in the simulation. It was found that utilizing narrow communication channels or adding gas inlet resistances could effectively reduce the gas flow maldistribution.

Abstract:

This thesis studies the performance of solid polymer lithium batteries from room temperature to elevated temperatures using mainly electrochemical techniques, with emphasis on the bulk properties of the polymer electrolyte and the electrode-electrolyte interfaces. Its contributions include: 1) Demonstrated the relationship between polymer segmental motion and ionic conductivity indeed has a Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher (VTF) dependence, and improved the conductivity of the graft copolymer electrolyte (GCE) by almost an order of magnitude by changing the ion-conducting block from poly(oxyethylene) methacrylate (POEM) to a block with a lower glass transition temperature \((T_g)\) poly(oxyethylene) acrylate (POEA). 2) Identified the rate-limiting step in the battery occurs at the cathode-electrolyte interface using both full cell and symmetric cell electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), improved the battery rate capability by using the GCE as both the electrolyte and the cathode binder to reduce the resistance at the cathode-electrolyte interface, and used TEM and SEM to visualize the polymer-particle interface (full cells with \(LiFePO_4\) as the cathode active material and lithium metal as the anode were assembled and tested). 3) Applied the solid polymer battery to oil and gas drilling application, performed high temperature (up to 210°C) cycling (both isothermal and thermal cycling), and demonstrated for the first time, current exchange between a solid polymer electrolyte and a liquid lithium metal. Both the cell open-circuit-voltage (OCV) and the overall GCE mass remained stable up to 200°C, suggesting that the GCE is electrochemically and gravimetrically stable at high temperatures. Used full cell EIS to study the behavior of the various battery parameters as a function of cycling and temperature. 4) Identified the thermal instability of the cell was due to the reactivity of lithium metal and its passivation film at high temperatures, and used Li/GCE/Li symmetric cell EIS to study the thermal stability of the anode-electrolyte interface, which was responsible for the fast capacity fade observed at high temperatures. 5) Proposed a new electrolyte material and a new battery design called polymer ionic liquid (PIL) battery that can dramatically improve the safety, energy density, and rate capability of rechargeable lithium batteries.

Abstract:

A procura por fontes de energia confiáveis para motores elétricos, levou a grande esforços de síntese de novos eletrólitos para uso em baterias de íon-Li, de modo a aliar eficiência e segurança. Líquidos iônicos têm sido largamente estudados para este propósito. Misturas do sal Li(CF3SO2)2N, LiTf2N, no líquido iônico (LI) formado pelo cátion 1-butil-2,3-dimetilimidazólio, BMMI, e o ânion (CF3SO2)2N-, bis(trifluorometanosulfonil)imideto, Tf2N, foram preparadas em diferentes concentrações. A adição do sal de lítio a este liquido iônico diminuiu a mobilidade de todas as espécies, especialmente o Li+. A condutividade estimada usando os dados de difusão (NMRPGSE), os dados da espectroscopia Raman e as simulações por Dinâmica Molecular sugerem a formação de agregados compostos por ânions Tf2N em torno do Li+, com os oxigênios do Tf2N direcionados para o cátion Li+. Estes agregados aumentam conforme aumenta a concentração de LiTf2N, contribuindo para a diminuição da condutividade. Para contornar este obstáculo, foram sintetizados líquidos iônicos contendo um átomo de oxigênio na estrutura do cátion, de modo a promover a competição com os oxigênios do Tf2N pelo cátion Li+, prevenindo Li+ de formar agregados de grande massa e melhorando sua difusividade. Os cations escolhidos foram o 1,2-dimetil-imidazólio e o N-metilmorfolino. Estes LI´s serão representados por [Et2OMMI][Tf2N] e [Et2OMor][Tf2N], respectivamente. Os resultados mostraram que [Et2OMMI][Tf2N] tem uma menor janela eletroquímica (3,8V) que [BMMI][Tf2N] (4,6V), mas o potencial de redução para ambos é igual, o que os torna resistentes à redução pelo lítio metálico. Estes dois LI´s tem quase a mesma densidade e a viscosidade de [Et2OMMI][Tf2N] é 20% menor que a de [BMMI][Tf2N]. Sendo menos viscoso, é esperado que [Et2OMMI][Tf2N] tenha uma maior condutividade. De fato, sua condutividade é 40% maior que a de [BMMI][Tf2N], o que sugere que o grupo éter adiciona alguma modificação estrutural ao sistema, mostrando que neste caso, as mudanças no transporte de carga não decorrem apenas em função da fluidez. Coeficientes de difusão de [Et2OMMI][Tf2N] são maiores que aqueles de [Et2OMor][Tf2N], mas um pouco menores que aqueles de [BMMI][Tf2N]. Também foram estudadas as mudanças nas propriedades físico-químicas em [BMMI][Tf2N] decorrentes da adição do gás SO2. Todas as propriedades de transporte tiveram aumento e uma diminuição na dinâmica de formação de pares iônicos foi sugerida pelos dados experimentais
The searching for reliable power sources for electrical engines has lead to great efforts in order to synthesize new electrolytes to be used in Li-ion batteries in order to make them powerful and safe. Ionic liquids have been widely studied for this purpose. Lithium salt solutions of Li(CF3SO2)2N, LiTf2N, in a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), 1-butyl-2,3-dimethyl-imidazolium cation, BMMI, and the (CF3SO2)2N-, bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion, Tf2N, were prepared in different concentrations. The addition of a lithium salt to this RTIL decreases the mobility of all species, especially Li+. Estimated conductivities (NMR-PGSE), Raman spectroscopy and Molecular Dynamics Simulation data suggest the formation of aggregates formed by [Tf2N] anions around Li+, with [Tf2N]´s oxygen atoms pointing toward Li+. These aggregates increase as LiTf2N content is increased, thus contributing to diminish conductivity. To overcome this obstacle, it was synthesized ionic liquids with ether-function-containing cations, so, oxygen atom from the ether group could compete for Li+ against the oxygen atoms from [Tf2N], preventing Li+ to form high mass aggregates improving the Li+ diffusion process. The chosen cations were the 1,2-dimethyl-imidazolium and N-methylmorpholine. RTILs were represented by [Et2OMMI][Tf2N] and [Et2OMor][Tf2N], respectively. Results show that [Et2OMMI][Tf2N] has a lower electrochemical window (3,8V) than [BMMI][Tf2N] (4,6V), but their reduction potential is equal, which makes them resistant to reduction by metallic lithium. These two RTIL´s have almost the same density and the viscosity of [Et2OMMI][Tf2N] is 20% lower than that of [BMMI][Tf2N]. Being less viscous, it is expected that [Et2OMMI][Tf2N] had a higher conductivity. It has in fact a conductivity 40% higher than [BMMI][Tf2N], which suggests that the ether chain add some structural modification to the system, showing that in this case, changes in charge transport is not only a function of the fluidity. Diffusion coefficients of [Et2OMMI][Tf2N] are higher than those of [Et2OMor][Tf2N], but a little bit lower than those of [BMMI][Tf2N]. It was also addressed the physical property changes in [BMMI][Tf2N] with the increasing addition of SO2. All the transport properties have improved and a decrease in ionic pair formation was suggested by experiment data

Abstract:

Os líquidos iônicos (LIs) são eletrólitos promissores para uso em baterias de lítio e outros dispositivos eletroquímicos, devido às suas propriedades físico-químicas únicas como, por exemplo, ampla faixa de temperatura como liquido, boa condutividade, baixa pressão de vapor e estabilidade térmica, química e eletroquímica. Um LI é composto normalmente por um cátion orgânico e um ânion orgânico ou inorgânico. Neste trabalho, foram sintetizados novos líquidos tanto modificando o ânion como o cátion. Em ambos os casos procurou-se LIs com ótimas propriedades de transporte e que melhorassem a condutividade do lítio em relação condutividade total da mistura LI - sal de lítio. Em primeira instância, foram sintetizados e caracterizados os seguintes líquidos iônicos derivados do ânion [B(CN)4]-: [BMPYR][B(CN)4] (N-butil-N-metilpirrolidínio tetracianoborato), [BMP][B(CN)4] (N-nbutil- N-metilpiperidínio tetracianoborato) e [BMMI][B(CN)4] (1-n-butil-2,3-dimetilimidazólio tetracianoborato), sendo os dois primeiros são líquidos na temperatura ambiente. Quando comparados com os derivados de bis(trifluorometanosulfonil)imideto, [Tf2N]-, os líquidos iônicos derivados de tetracianoborato apresentam melhores valores de condutividade e viscosidade, sendo isto refletidos em um maior valor do parâmetro condutividade do lítio (σLi). Além disso, estes LI possuem maior estabilidade química e eletroquímica. Utilizou-se a técnica de espectroscopia Raman para estudar os líquidos [BMPYR][B(CN)4] e [BMP][B(CN)4] e suas misturas com sal de lítio (0,1 molL-1 de LiB(CN)4), demostrando-se que a interação entre o íon lítio e o ânion tetracianoborato é muito baixa, o que explica o altos valores do número de transporte e condutividade do lítio nestes sistemas. já através da Modificação do cátion, foram sintetizados cinco líquidos iônicos derivados de fosfônio, usando sempre o ânion [Tf2N]-. Entre eles são líquidos na temperatura unicamente os LIs [P2225][Tf2N] (Bis(trifluormetilsulfonil)imideto de trieltilpentilfosfônio) e [P222(201)][Tf2N] (Bis(trifluormetilsulfonil)imideto de trietil(2-metoxietil)fosfônio). Estes líquidos apresentaram excelentes propriedades de transporte e estabilidade eletroquímica quando comparados com seus equivalentes derivados de nitrogênio. Quando se adicionou o sal de lítio, LiTf2N, em concentrações de 1 e 2 molL-1 , os líquidos apresentaram um decréscimo das propriedades de transporte, embora demostrarem efeito menor em comparação com os líquidos iônicos derivados de nitrogênio, apresentando inclusive maiores valores nos números de transporte e de condutividade do lítio nas misturas estudadas.
Ionic liquids (ILs), are of great interest nowadays as electrolytes for lithium ion batteries due their unique characteristics, which include: liquid state over a wide temperature range; nonvolatility, which assures thermal stability and nonflammability; high ion content, which results in high ionic conductivity; and excellent chemical and electrochemical stability. ILs consists of an organic cation and an inorganic or organic anion. In order to improve the transport properties, the cation and anion of the ionic liquid were changed. Three ionic liquids derived from the anion [B(CN)4]- were synthetized and chararacterized: [BMPYR][B(CN)4] (N-n-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium tetracyanoborate) [BMP][B(CN)4] (N-n-butyl-Nmethylpiperidinium tetracyanoborate) and [BMMI][B(CN)4] (1-n-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium tetracyanoborate). The first two are liquid at room temperature. When comparing these ionic liquid with the analogous ones containing the anion Tf2N, it was found that ILs derivates from tetracyanoborate have better transport properties which is reflected in a larger value of parameter conductivity of lithium (σLi). Moreover these ILs have higher chemical and electrochemical stability. The Raman spectroscopy was employed to study the BMPYRB(CN)4 and BMPB(CN)4 liquids and their mixtures with lithium salt (0.1 mol L-1 of LiB(CN)4); it was demonstrated that the interaction between the lithium ion and anion tetracyanoborate is very low, which explains the high values of conductivity and transport numbers of lithium in these systems. Furthermore five ionic liquids from the phosphonium cation was synthesized always using the anion [Tf2N]-; being liquid at room temperature only the ILs [P2225][Tf2N] (triethyln-pentylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) and [P222(201)][Tf2N] (triethyl (2- methoxyethyl) phosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl imide) imide). It was found that these liquids have excellent transport properties and electrochemical stability when compared with their counterparts derived from nitrogen; furthermore, when lithium salt LiTf2N, was added at concentrations of 1 and 2 mol L-1, the ILs containing the phosphonium cations have also shown a decrease in the transport properties, however, the effect is less pronounced when compared to ionic liquids derived from nitrogen, presenting higher transport number and lithium ion conductivity.

Abstract:

Among the myraid energy storage technologies, polymer electrolytes have been widely employed in diverse applications such as fuel cell membranes, battery separators, mechanical actuators, reverse-osmosis membranes and solar cells. The polymer electrolytes used for these applications usually require a combination of properties, including anisotropic orientation, tunable modulus, high ionic conductivity, light weight, high thermal stability and low cost. These critical properties have motivated researchers to find next-generation polymer electrolytes, for example ion gels. This dissertation aims to develop and characterize a new class of ion gel electrolytes based on ionic liquids and a rigid-rod polyelectrolyte. The rigid-rod polyelectrolyte poly (2,2'-disulfonyl-4,4'-benzidine terephthalamide) (PBDT) is a water-miscible system and forms a liquid crystal phase above a critical concentration. The diverse properties and broad applications of this rigid-rod polyelectrolyte may originate from the double helical conformation of PBDT molecular chains. We primarily develop an ionic liquid-based polymer gel electrolyte that possesses the following exceptional combination of properties: transport anisotropy up to 3.5×, high ionic conductivity (up to 8 mS cm⁻¹), widely tunable modulus (0.03 – 3 GPa) and high thermal stability (up to 300°C). This unique platform that combines ionic liquid and polyelectrolyte is essential to develop more advanced materials for broader applications. After we obtain the ion gels, we then mainly focus on modifying and then applying them in Li-metal batteries. As a next generation of Li batteries, the Li-metal battery offers higher energy capacity compared to the current Li-ion battery, thus satisfying our requirements in developing longer-lasting batteries for portable devices and even electric vehicles. However, Li dendrite growth on the Li metal anode has limited the pratical application of Li-metal batteries. This unexpected Li dendrite growth can be suppressed by developing polymer separators with high modulus (~ Gpa), while maintaining enough ionic conductivity (~ 1 mS/cm). Here, we describe an advanced solid-state electrolyte based on a sulfonated aramid rigid-rod polymer, an ionic liquid (IL), and a lithium salt, showing promise to make a breakthrough. This unique fabrication platform can be a milestone in discovering next-generation electrolyte materials.

One of the key limitations in the wide-scale adoption of mature renewable energy technologies is the lack of grid-level energy storage solutions. One important figure of merit in these battery systems is a high rate capability to match fluctuating demands for electricity. Molten salt batteries are an attractive option for stationary storage due to fast kinetics and good cycling capability, but high temperatures (>300 °C) limit available materials. In this thesis, the molten NaCl-AlCl3-SnCl2 electrolyte and liquid Sn electrode couple at 250 °C is investigated as part of the potential cell Na I NaCl-AlCl 3-SnCl2 I Sn for a lower temperature molten salt battery. An electrochemical study of the kinetics in the molten salt electrolyte and at the liquid Sn electrode-electrolyte interface is conducted using cyclic voltammetry and the galvanostatic pulse method. The liquid metal electrode is found to have suitably fast kinetics with an exchange current density of 92 mA/cm2. Parameters for a new Na+ conducting membrane are proposed, requiring an ionic conductivity of 0.056 S/cm, which would allow for a hypothetical Na I NaCl-AlC 3-SnCl2 I Sn battery to operate with an energy efficiency of 70%.

Abstract:

Les travaux de thèse présentés dans ce manuscrit portent sur le développement nouveaux électrolytes sans recours aux solvants conventionnels inflammables afin de répondre à la problématique de sécurité des batteries. La première partie de ce travail vise à développer des électrolytes gélifiés à partir de liquide ionique phosphonium. Une étude est réalisée sur la compatibilité entre l'électrolyte et le polymère hôte époxy/amine ainsi que de l'influence du LI sur la polymérisation du réseau. Les propriétés thermiques, viscoélastiques et de transport ionique des gels sont discutées. Parmi les électrolytes gélifiés obtenus, le gel contenant l'électrolyte (1 M LiTFSI + LI [P66614][TFSI]) a montré des propriétés électrochimiques intéressantes. Un système gélifié Li|LFP a été mis en œuvre et une bonne stabilité en cyclage à 100 °C a été obtenue. La deuxième partie de ce travail consiste au développement de nouveaux électrolytes mésomorphes favorisant un transport d’ions lithium par saut. Un composé anionique a été synthétisé à partir d’une réaction époxy/amine entre le 4-amino-1-naphtalènesulfonate de lithium et un diglycidylether aliphatique. Différentes techniques de caractérisation ont été utilisées afin d’établir un lien structure/propriétés. Les résultats ont permis de mettre en évidence une organisation supramoléculaire lamellaire permettant d’obtenir des canaux de conduction d’ions lithium. Les mesures de transport ionique ont permis de mettre en évidence un transport d'ions lithium suivant une loi d'Arrhenius (indépendant du squelette moléculaire) ce qui est la preuve d'un mécanisme de transport d'ions lithium par saut. Les premiers tests électrochimiques ont révélé une bonne stabilité de ces électrolytes vis à vis du lithium et un transport d’ions lithium réversible dans une cellule symétrique Li|Li. A l'issue de ces travaux, les perspectives sont discutées afin d'améliorer les performances de ces électrolytes
The thesis work presented in this manuscript focuses on the development of new electrolytes without the use of flammable conventional solvents to improve the security problem batteries. The first part of this work is the preparation of gelled electrolytes from phosphonium ionic liquid. A study is performed on the compatibility between the electrolyte and the polymer host epoxy / amine as well as the influence of the polymerization LI on the network. The thermal properties, and ionic transport viscoelastic gels are discussed. Among the obtained gelled electrolyte, the gel containing the electrolyte (1 M LiTFSI + LI [P66614] [TFSI]) showed interesting electrochemical properties. A gelled system Li | LFP has been implemented and good cycling stability at 100 ° C was obtained. The second part of this work is the development of new liquid crystal electrolytes promotes transport of lithium ions with hopping mechanism. An anionic compound was synthesized from reaction of an epoxy / amine from lithium 4-amino-1-naphthalenesulfonate and an aliphatic diglycidyl ether. Various characterization technical were used to establish a link structure / properties. The results allowed to show a lamellar supramolecular organization to obtain lithium ion conduction channels. The ion transport measurement helped to highlight a transport of lithium ions following an Arrhenius law (independent of the molecular backbone) which is evidence of a transport mechanism of lithium ions with hopping mechanism. The first electrochemical tests showed good stability of these electrolytes with lithium electrode and a reversible lithium ion transport in a symmetrical cell Li | Li. Following this work, the prospects are discussed to improve the performance of these electrolytes

Abstract:

Dans les batteries ion lithium, la présence d’électrolytes organiques volatiles et inflammables engendre des problèmes récurrents de sécurité. Une possible solution consiste à les remplacer par des sels fondus liquides à température ambiante, les liquides ioniques (LI), présentant une tension de vapeur négligeable et sont considérés comme flamme retardant. Leur utilisation avec des électrodes carbone (les plus usitées dans les batteries commerciales) nécessitent la présence d’un additif pour améliorer les performances des batteries.Le but de cette thèse était de déterminer le rôle de cet additif par des méthodes analytiques et de la modélisation. Tout d’abord, l’impact de cet additif sur la solvatation et la diffusion des sels de lithium a été étudié par RMN 2-D [NOE et HOESY {1H-7Li}, {1H-19F}, et la sphère de coordination du cation lithium a été simulée par dynamique moléculaire. Puis des études électrochimiques ont été développées notamment le cyclage galvanostatique à potentiel sélectionné et le cyclage voltamétrique afin de déterminer la capacité de la batterie et d’étudier les étapes d‘insertion du cation lithium au cours de la première étape de réduction. Cette étape a également été analysée par impédance électrochimique. En complément, une analyse par XPS (spectrométrie photoélectronique X) sur les électrodes post-mortem de piles arrêtées aux potentiels déterminés par impédance, a permis de caractériser les composés chimiques formés à la surface des électrodes au cours de la première réduction, mais également après plusieurs cycles de charge/décharge
In lithium ion batteries, the commercial organic electrolytes induce difficulties in the manufacturing and the use of the battery (volatile and flammable components). There are active research to eliminate these safety problems, one of the approach is the replacement of conventional battery electrolytes with room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), which exhibit negligible vapor pressure, low flammability, high flash point. The use of ILs based electrolytes for carbon based electrodes requires presence of organic additive for improving the cyclic performance. The aim of this thesis was to determine the exact role of the organic additive through experimental and computer simulation methodologies. Its impact onto the solvation and transportation of lithium cation was investigated through {1H-7Li}, {1H-19F} NOE correlations (HOESY), and pulsed field gradient spin-echo (PGSE) NMR experiences and Molecular Dynamic simulation. The electrochemical studies were developed such as electrochemical window, galvanostatic cycling with potential limitation and cycling voltammetry showing the obtained capacity of the cell and [Li+] insertion stages during the first reduction step. Moreover, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) during the first reduction process, and XPS analysis of post mortem Gr electrodes stopped at chosen potential during the first reduction process, as well as, after the several charge/discharge cycles were used

Resumo: Em diversas aplicações industriais são utilizadas misturas contendo diferentes solutos, muitas vezes estes são solutos não voláteis, como por exemplo, os eletrólitos. O equilíbrio químico e de fases ocorrem nas diversas operações unitárias contidas nessas aplicações. As próprias etapas de produção, bem como as etapas de separação e purificação, são fundamentais para a qualidade dos produtos. Com isso, o cálculo do comportamento do equilíbrio de sais em solventes é de grande importância para o projeto e a otimização desses equipamentos. Desta forma, o objetivo principal deste trabalho foi o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia confiável e robusta para o cálculo do equilíbrio químico e de fases combinado, em soluções eletrolíticas. O estudo do comportamento do equilíbrio foi feito com a variação da pressão e/ou a temperatura nos sistemas estudados. Este trabalho propôs uma modelagem considerando uma fase vapor, n fases liquidas e uma fase sólida, por meio da metodologia de minimização da energia de Gibbs. A fase vapor foi considerada ideal e a fase solida foi considerada como sólido puro. Para representação da não idealidade da fase líquida foi utilizado o modelo NRTL eletrolítico, esta formulação matemática resulta em um problema que deve ser tratado como um problema de otimização não-linear. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados com dados experimentais extraídos da literatura em sistemas contendo um sal em solução com um solvente ou misturas de solventes no equilíbrio sólido-líquido e no equilíbrio líquido-vapor. A vantagem desta abordagem é não ter que estabelecer previamente quais fases se formarão, o processo de minimização da energia de Gibbs estabelece o número de fases formadas nos sistema automaticamente. Para a resolução do problema de otimização foi utilizado o software GAMS® (General Algebraic Modeling Systems), versão 23.2.1, com o solver CONOPT que utiliza o algoritmo do Gradiente Generalizado Reduzido
Abstract: In several industrial applications are used mixtures containing different solutes, often these solutes are non-volatile, such as electrolytes. The phase and chemical equilibrium in these processes occur in the various unit operations. The stages of production, as well as the separation and purification steps are critical to product quality. Thus, the calculation of the behavior of the equilibrium of salts in solvents is of great importance for the design and optimization of this type of equipment. The main objective of this work was to develop a methodology for calculation of the combined phase and chemical equilibrium in electrolytic solutions. In this study, the behavior of the equilibrium was done by varying the pressure and the temperature in the systems studied. In the model were made the following considerations: a vapor phase, n liquid phase and a solid phase, using the methodology of minimizing the Gibbs energy. The vapor phase was considered ideal and phase solida was considered as pure solid. To represent the nonideality of the liquid phase we used the electrolyte NRTL model (e-NRTL), in this way, the problem should be treated as a nonlinear optimization problem. The results were compared with literature data with solutions containing an electrolyte in solvent or solvents mixtures for Solid-Liquid and vapor-Liquid equilibrium. The modeling was written as a nonlinear programming. The advantage of this program is not having to know in advance what phases will be formed, the process of minimization of Gibbs energy determines the phases automatically. The program was solved in GAMS® software (General Algebraic Modeling System), version 23.2.1, with CONOPT solver that uses the Generalized Reduced Gradient algorithm

Abstract:

Dans les accumulateurs au lithium, l'électrolyte joue un rôle important car ses propriétés physicochimiques et électrochimiques conditionnent l'efficacité du générateur électrochimique. Actuellement, les électrolytes organiques utilisés induisent des difficultés pour la mise en oeuvre et l'utilisation de la batterie (composants volatils et inflammables). De nouveaux électrolytes à base de sels fondus à température ambiante, dit liquides ioniques, sont des candidats potentiels plus sécuritaires (faible inflammabilité, basse pression de vapeur saturante, point éclair élevé), qui présentent en outre une large fenêtre électrochimique. Dans un premier temps, le travail de thèse a été de concevoir de nouvelles voies de synthèses plus économes, tenant compte des exigences environnementales (limitation des déchets, pas de solvant) et proposant des liquides ioniques de haute pureté >99.5% compatibles avec une production industrielle. De nouveaux liquides ioniques dérivés du cation imidazolium ont alors été conçus afin de moduler leurs propriétés physicochimiques et optimiser leurs performances dans les batteries. Ils ont été évalués dans diverses technologies de batteries (Graphite/LiFePO4) et (Li4Ti5O12/LiFePO4) dans différentes conditions expérimentales, à 298 K et 333 K, cette dernière température étant proscrite pour les batteries conventionnelles. Ce travail de thèse a permis d'identifier les modifications chimiques pour conduire aux électrolytes les plus prometteurs et à mis en exergue l'importance de l'étude de la compréhension des phénomènes d'interphase liquides ioniques/ électrodes
In lithium ion batteries, the electrolyte plays an important role because its physicochemical and electrochemical properties determine their efficiency. Currently, the used organic electrolytes induce difficulties in the manufacturing and the use of the battery (volatile and flammable components). New electrolytes based on molten salts at room temperature, called ionic liquids, are safer potential candidates (low flammability, low vapor pressure, high flash point) with a wide electrochemical window. The first stage of this PhD was to design new and more efficient synthetic routes, taking into account the environmental requirements (waste minimization, no solvent) and allowing the elaboration of ionic liquids with high purity> 99.5%, compatible with an industrial production. New ionic liquids derived from imidazolium cation were then designed in order to modulate their physicochemical properties, and to optimize their performance in batteries. They were evaluated in various battery technologies (Graphite/LiFePO4) and (Li4Ti5O12/LiFePO4) under different experimental conditions, 298 K and 333 K, when the conventional lithium ion batteries (organic electrolyte) are used only under 313 K. This PhD work has identified the chemical modifications to yield the most promising electrolytes, and highlighted the importance of the study on the understanding of ionic liquid/electrode interphase phenomena

Abstract:

Le remplacement des électrolytes liquides conventionnels des batteries lithium-ion est un enjeu majeur pour améliorer leurs performances et leur sécurité. Dans ce contexte, ce travail de thèse est focalisé sur la synthèse d’une nouvelle classe d’électrolytes solides organiques : les cristaux liquides ioniques thermotropiques, ainsi que la caractérisation multi-échelle des nanostructures obtenues et du transport ionique. Tout d’abord, nous présentons les structures chimiques choisies pour créer des assemblages de molécules cristal liquide à conduction « single-ion ». Ensuite, nous détaillons l’étude structurale et fonctionnelle, qui a permis d’établir l’organisation supramoléculaire sous forme de phase colonnaire avec des canaux de conduction ionique nanométriques. Des conductivités pouvant atteindre 10-4 S.cm-1 à 70°C ont été obtenues. La dynamique des ions au sein de ces électrolytes a été étudiée à l’échelle moléculaire et nous avons mis en évidence un mécanisme de conduction par saut. La polymérisation des cristaux liquides ioniques pourrait permettre le développement d’électrolytes polymères de type single-ion pour les batteries
One major issue towards large-scale application of lithium-based batteries concerns their safety which is directly related to the nature of the electrolyte. Solid electrolytes are at present considered as a promising approach to avoid the risks related to the commonly employed liquids. Herein we report the synthesis and the characterization of a promising class of electrolytes: Thermotropic Ionic Liquid Crystals (TILCs). We describe the design and the synthesis of new self-assembled single-ion materials in function of their chemical architecture. We performed a systematic structural and functional properties study, demonstrating the crystal-liquid properties as well as the supramolecular organization into columnar phases. One of the most promising TILC shows a conductivity of 10-4 S.cm-1 at 70°C. The ion dynamics was probed at molecular scale to establish the main features of hopping conduction mechanism. Further polymerization of the TILCs could be applied to develop high performance single-ion polymer electrolytes for Li-ion batteries

Abstract:

Many countries including Sweden are planning to replace fossil fuel-based vehicles with electric vehicles. This is one of the main reasons that companies all over the world are investing more and more money in the development of lithium-ion batteries, for electric vehicles. There are several different risks with the conventional lithium-ion batteries including the high flammability of the electrolytes, which can lead to high heat release rate, risk of explosion and high toxicity in the form of hydrogen fluoride gas. The hydrogen fluoride is lethal even at low concentration. These potential risks are based on the structure of the flammable electrolytes inside the lithium-ion batteries. Because of that, there is a big interest in finding an electrolyte with similar battery performance and better fire properties as compared with the conventional electrolytes commercially available on the market. The intent with this work is to investigate the fire properties of different halogen-free electrolytes. The two newly developed salts Li[MEA] & Li[MEEA] as well as the available salt Li[BOB] will be compared with the commercially used halogen-containing electrolyte based on lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) salt. Physical and electrochemical properties of these electrolytes such as solubility in different organic solvents, density, viscosity, ionic conductivity and electrochemical window will be studied in the first step. The electrolytes showing the most promising electrochemical properties will then be further investigated regarding fire properties, heat release rate, flash point and toxicity. The electrolytes will be compared with the conventional electrolyte containing LiPF6. Li[BOB] was not dissolved in the solvents with the strongest dissolving properties, therefore it was not further tested. The electrolytes that were tested regarding fire properties were Li[MEA] and Li[MEEA] with the organic solvents of ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate. Ionic liquid was also added to Li[MEEA] to investigate how it affected the fire properties for the electrolyte. When examine the heat release rate for the newly developed salts, as well as LiPF6, it was observed that the highest peaks were similar to each other. The combustion time for the electrolyte containing LiPF6 was noticeable shorter than for the other three electrolytes. This is likely due to the fluorine content in LiPF6. The electrolytes undergoing the cone calorimeter test in this work was not charged so therefore the peaks of the heat release rate may look different. For further studies, it could be of interest to construct a complete lithium-ion battery using these electrolytes to see how the battery cells and the electrolytes behave in different set of charges. Another essential point, is the ignition time that showed varied times for the tests containing Li[MEEA] together with the organic solvents and with the added ionic liquid. This is an interesting result that probably can be explained by the homogeneity of the electrolyte. The homogeneity was only verified with the help of the human eye and therefore it may not be fully dissolved. The flashpoint for the different mixtures of electrolytes showed values of interest where the electrolyte containing ionic liquid that showed the lowest flashpoint. This was unexpected concerning that these types of additives are common for improving the fire resistance capacity. The key aspect discussed when analyzing the result from the FTIR spectroscopy was how the Li[MEA], Li[MEEA] and LiPF6 salts varied. The ones that did not have any fluorine in its structure resulted in production of carbon dioxide. However, the electrolyte containing fluorine resulted, as expected, in values of hydrogen fluorine and carbon dioxide but also other combustion products that was hard to determine. These salts and electrolytes need to be further studied and tested to see if it is possible to use them in an actual lithium-ion battery. Besides further tests of the salts and ionic liquid tested in this work, it is important that the work with conventional and newly developed electrolytes aims for improvements in fire resistance as well as toxicity.
Många länder inklusive Sverige planerar att byta ut fordon som använder fossila bränslen mot elfordon. Detta är en av huvudanledningarna till att företag runt om i världen satsar mer och mer pengar på att utveckla litiumjonbatterier för elfordon. Litiumjonbatterier medför en del risker såsom hög värmeutveckling, brandfarliga vätskor, risk för explosion och toxiska gaser samt produceringen av vätefluorid. Redan vid låga koncentrationer är vätefluoriden dödlig. Riskerna baseras på strukturen av elektrolyten som finns i litiumjonbatteriet. På grund av dessa risker så är det intressant att utveckla en elektrolyt som har liknande batteriegenskaper men bättre brandegenskaper än de elektrolyter som finns och används idag. I detta arbete har brandegenskaper för olika halogenfria elektrolyter testats. De två nyutvecklade salterna Li[MEA] & Li[MEEA] har tillsammans med det existerande saltet Li[BOB] jämförts med det kommersiella saltet litium hexafluorfosfat (LiPF6) som används till många elektrolyter i dagens litiumjonbatterier. De fysiska och elektrokemiska egenskaperna såsom löslighet i organiska lösningsmedel, densitet, viskositet, jonkonduktiviet och elektrokemiskt fönster har testats för elektrolyterna i den första delen av arbetet. Elektrolyterna som uppvisade de mest lovande elektrokemiska egenskaper har även testats med avseende på brandegenskaperna, så som värmeutveckling, flampunkt och toxicitet. Elektrolyterna jämfördes mot den vanligt förekommande elektrolyten som innehåller litium hexafluorfosfat. Saltet Li[BOB] löstes inte i lösningsmedel med bra lösningsegenskaper, vilket var anledningen till att det inte genomfördes ytterligare tester på den. Elektrolyterna som det genomfördes tester på avseende på brandegenskaper innehöll Li[MEA] och Li[MEEA] tillsammans med de organiska lösningsmedlen etylenekarbonat och dimetylkarbonat. För Li[MEEA] tillsattes det även jonvätska för att undersöka hur jonvätskan påverkar brandegenskaperna för elektrolyten. När värmeutveckling för det nyutvecklade salterna och LiPF6 undersöktes, så uppvisade de liknande värden. Anmärkningsvärt var dock att förbränningstiden för LiPF6 varade under en kortare period i jämförelse med de tre andra elektrolyterna. En trolig orsak till detta är att LiPF6 innehåller fluor. Elektrolyterna som provades i konkalorimeter i detta arbete var ej laddade, vilket kan medföra att värmeutvecklingen kan se annorlunda ut vid ett laddat tillstånd. För framtida studier kan det vara intressant att konstruera ett komplett litiumjonbatteri, för att se hur elektrolyterna fungerar och påverkas, beroende på laddningsnivå. Antändningstiden för Li[MEEA] blandat med de organiska lösningsmedlen tillsammans med jonvätska varierade mycket. Detta är ett intressant resultat, som förmodligen kan förklaras av homogeniteten på elektrolyten. Homogeniteten verifierades enbart okulärt, vilket inte säkerställer att jonvätskan har löst sig fullständigt i elektrolyten. Resultat för flampunkten för det olika elektrolyterna var intressant, då elektrolyten som innehöll jonvätska visade på lägst flampunkt. Detta var oväntat då tillsatser som jonvätska brukar förbättra brandmotståndet. Resultatet för FTIR-spektroskopin analyserades för att se hur Li[MEA], Li[MEEA] och LiPF6 skiljde sig åt. De elektrolyter som inte innehöll fluor, producerade bara koldioxid. Medans elektrolyten som innehöll fluor producerade, som väntat, vätefluorid och koldioxid, men även andra gaser som var svåranalyserade. De framtagna elektrolyterna i detta arbete behöver studeras vidare och fler tester bör genomföras för att se om det finns en möjlighet att använda dem i faktiska litiumjonbatterier. Förutom att testa elektrolyterna i just detta arbete är det viktigt att forskningen kring brandegenskaper och toxiska egenskaper för elektrolyter fortsätter i framtiden.

Abstract:

Au cours de cette thèse, un nouvel électrolyte polymère gel pour la réalisation de microbatteries au lithium a été développé. Le gel a été préparé par « confinement » d’une phase de N-propyl-N-méthylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (P13FSI) et de LiTFSI dans un réseau semi-interpénétré (sRip) de polymère (PVdFHFP/ réseau de POE). L’électrolyte gel a tout d’abord été optimisé et étudié en termes de propriétés physicochimiques et de transport ionique en fonction de sa composition. Ensuite, des batteries Li/LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 ont été assemblées en utilisant l’électrolyte sRip. Les performances ont par ailleurs été comparées aux systèmes de références utilisant l’électrolyte à base de POE ou de PVdF-HFP. Outre ses propriétés améliorées par rapport au PVdF-HFP et au réseau de POE (propriétés mécaniques, confinement), l’électrolyte sRip est compatible avec le procédé de dépôt de l’électrode négative en lithium par évaporation sous vide. L’électrolyte sRip optimisé a donc été utilisé pour fabriquer une nouvelle génération de microbatteries en s’affranchissant de l’électrolyte céramique, le LiPON, afin d’abaisser la résistance interne. Les microbatteries Li/sRip gel/LiCoO2 délivrent une capacité nominale stable de 850 μAh à C sur 100 cycles à 25°C
In this thesis, a new polymer gel electrolyte was prepared and optimized for Li based microbatteries. The gel consisted of an ionic liquid based phase (P13FSI/LiTFSI) confined in a semi-interpenetrating polymers (sIPN) network (PVdF-HFP/crosslinked PEO). sIPN electrolytes were prepared and optimized according to the PVdFHFP/ crosslinked PEO ratio and the liquid phase fraction. Furthermore, the sIPN electrolyte was used as an electrolyte in Li/LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 battery. The performances of the battery (specific capacity, efficiency, cyclability) were determined and compared to batteries using a crosslinked PEO or PVdF-HFP based gel. Such a thin and stable sIPN electrolyte film enabled the preparation of Li based microbatteries using thermal evaporation deposition of lithium directly conducted on the sIPN electrolyte film. This assembly (Li/sIPN) was therefore used to prepare a LiCoO2/sIPN gel/Li quasi solid-state microbattery. This microbattery showed a stable nominal capacity of 850 μAh for over 100 cycles of charge and discharge under 1 C rate at 25°C

Abstract:

Les problèmes de sécurité liés aux fuites de produits chimiques, au chauffage externe ou aux explosions sont un frein au développement de dispositifs de stockage renouvelables à base d’électrolytes liquides. La sécurité des batteries nécessite le développement de nouvelles technologies telles que les électrolytes à base de liquide ionique ou de membranes polymères conductrices. Simultanément, et face à l’épuisement des ressources en lithium, la tendance énergétique cherche à privilégier le développement de piles rechargeables à base d’éléments abondants, tels que les métaux alcalins / alcalino-terreux. Une meilleure compréhension du comportement conducteur cationique de ces électrolytes est nécessaire pour développer des batteries au lithium et post-lithium de haute sécurité.Le premier objectif de ce travail était axé sur les propriétés de transport dans des électrolytes liquides ioniques obtenus en dissolvant des sels alcalin/alcalino-terreux dans un liquide ionique, le BMIm TFSI. Ces mélanges possèdent des caractéristiques prometteuses telles qu'une faible tension de vapeur, une ininflammabilité, une stabilité thermique élevée et une bonne conductivité ionique. Ces électrolytes ont été étudiés par une appoche multitechnique pour une description thermodynamique (propriétés thermiques), dynamique (viscosité, conductivité ionique, coefficients d'auto-diffusion des différentes espèces) et structurale (spectroscopies IR et Raman). Ces travaux ont permis de montrer que le comportement du transport cationique dans ces électrolytes liquide-ionique est fortement influencé par la natutre et la concentration des cations. Ces variations dépendent de la viscosité, qui sont reliés à la sphère de coordination des ions alcalins/alcalino-terreux dissous.Un autre partie de ce travail présente le développement de nouveaux ionomères à base de POE comme électrolytes solides pour des batteries rechargeables au lithium ou de génération post-lithium. Ces matériaux, ionomères réticulés et copolymères, présentent un nombre de transport ionique pratiquement égal à 1. L'excellent comportement en cyclage dans une batterie symétrique au lithium-métallique ont confirmé le bon comportement de l'électrolyte et une réversibiité parfaite de l'intercalation/désintercalation du lithium dans les deux électrodes. Les hautes performances des batteries au lithium métallique utilisant des cathodes LiFePO4, ont confirmé l'adéquation de ces matériaux pour une utilisation en tant qu'électrolytes solides. Un dernier objectif de ce travail a été l'étude du comportement de conductivité des cations alcalins dans différentes matrices de polymère. Grâce au greffage des fonctions anionique, une conductivité cationique unitaire a pu être atteinte, ce qui a permis de mesurer l'effet de la taille du cation sur sa mobilité
Safety issues related to chemical leakage, external heating, or explosion restrain the advancement of renewable storage devices based on classical liquid electrolytes. The urgent need for safer batteries requires new technologies such as the replacement of carbonate solvents by green ionic liquid-based electrolytes or the use of conducting polymer membranes. Moreover, facing a future shortage of raw materials such as lithium, trends are to promote the development of rechargeable batteries based on abundant elements i.e. alkali/alkaline-earth metals. A better understanding of cation conductive behavior in these electrolytes become the mainstream for developing high-security lithium and post-lithium batteries.In this work, the first goal was to focus on the physical and ionic transport properties of several binary systems based on the solution of different alkali/alkaline-earth TFSI salts in a common ionic liquid BMIm TFSI. These ionic liquid electrolytes possess unique characteristics that are promising for electrolyte applications e.g. low vapor pressure, non-inflammable, high thermal stability, with sufficient ionic conductivity. These mixtures are studied with the multi-technique approach to reach thermodynamics (thermal properties), dynamics (viscosity, ionic conductivity self-diffusion coefficients) and structural (IR and Raman spectroscopy) description of these systems. The cationic transport behavior in these ionic liquid electrolytes is strongly influenced by the nature of the cation and its concentration. These viscosity dependent phenomena are related to the alkali/alkaline-earth coordination shell.Another goal of this work is the development of new single-ion conducting polymers based on PEO as solid electrolytes for safer lithium and post-lithium rechargeable batteries. These materials exhibit a cation transference number which nearly reaches unity for the cross-linked ionomers and multi-block copolymers. The cycling tests in symmetric lithium-metal cell affirmed the reversibility of electrolyte with stable lithium plating/stripping between two electrodes. High performances in lithium metal batteries using ‘home-made’ LiFePO4 cathodes demonstrate the potential of these materials as solid electrolytes. An ultimate aim showed the conductivity behavior of the alkali cations in the different polymer matrix. Thanks to the grafting anionic function distributed along the polymer chain, the effect of cation size on its mobility were clearly observed

Abstract:

Ce travail s'inscrit dans le cadre du développement de nouveaux procédés de désacidification de gaz naturel à travers l'étude thermodynamique des équilibres entre les gaz acides (CO2 et H2S) et un solvant mixte. Ce solvant résulte de la combinaison d'un solvant chimique (solution aqueuse de diéthanolamine) et d'un solvant physique (méthanol). Couplant équilibres chimique et physique, la modélisation de ces systèmes nécessite l'élaboration de modèles complexes et une large gamme de données d'équilibre liquide-vapeur. La première partie de ce travail est consacrée à l'acquisition de données expérimentales de solubilité des gaz acides dans le solvant mixte. En étendant le champ d'application d'un appareillage fonctionnant en méthode synthétique, nous avons acquis des données originales de solubilité des mélanges CO2 + H2S dans des solvants eau-diéthanolamine-méthanol. Dans la seconde partie, la modélisation simultanée des équilibres chimiques et physiques est réalisée. L'approche hétérogène développée combine le modèle NRTL-Electrolyte pour représenter la phase liquide avec l'équation d'état de Peng-Robinson pour décrire le comportement de la phase vapeur. La procédure d'ajustement des paramètres est graduelle si bien que le système complet eau-diéthanolamine-méthanol-CO2-H2S est décrit de manière prédictive, les paramètres du modèle NRTL-Electrolyte ayant été déterminés sur des systèmes inférieurs. L'effet de solvatation du méthanol est aussi mis en valeur. Nous nous sommes également intéressés au calcul des chaleurs d'absorption et à l'extension de notre modèle à d'autres alcanolamines
This work is related to the development of new processes about gas sweetening with hybrid solvents coupling a chemical one (aqueous solution of diethanolamine) with a physical one (methanol). In the liquid phase, CO2 and H2S react with diethanolamine so that the VLE description of these systems is quite complex and requires experimental data. The first part of this work is dedicated to the experimental determination of acid gases + hybrid solvent solubility data. The experimental apparatus was improved to study H2S solubility and CO2 + H2S mixtures solubility in water-diethanolamine-methanol solvents. In the second part, the simultaneous representation of chemical and phase equilibria was realised. The heterogeneous approach developed here combines the Peng-Robinson equation of state for the vapour phase with the Electrolyte-NRTL model for the liquid phase. Parameters are fitted gradually so that the entire system water-diethanolamine-methanol-CO2-H2S system is extrapolated using Electrolyte-NRTL parameters determined by fitting experimental acid gas partial pressures of lower systems. Methanol effect is also described. An original calculation of heat of absorption was also developed. We extended the use of our approach to study others alkanolamines

This new method predicts thermodynamic properties such as solvent activities and solute activity coefficients of aqueous and organic phases used in liquid-liquid extraction systems. These thermodynamic properties are required for mesoscopic thermodynamic modeling approaches estimating the efficiency and selectivity of a given solvent extraction system up to an industrial scale. Thermodynamic and structural properties of aqueous electrolyte solutions and organic solvent phase including aggregates resulting from amphiphilic extractant molecules are reproduced in very good agreement with previously available experimental and theoretical data.

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with ion-ion and ion-polymer interactions over a wide concentration range in polymer electrolytes with a view to shedding new light on the mechanism of ion migration. Additionally, the electrochemical stability window of these electrolytes on platinum and vitreous carbon electrodes has been thoroughly investigated. The final part of this thesis is concerned with determining the feasibility of polymer electrolytes as electrolytes in a new type of energy storage device, a double layer capacitor which incorporates activated carbon cloth electrodes. Conductivities and viscosities of solutions of Li, Na and K thiocyanates in low-molecular-weight, non-crystallizable liquid copolymers of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) have been measured. The curves of molar conductance versus sqrt c show well-defined maxima and minima. The conductivity is independent of copolymer molecular-weight but is enhanced by raising the EO content of the copolymer. The results are interpreted in terms of a model for ion migration in which ion association and redissociation effects play an important role. It is proposed that the characteristic properties of liquid polymer electrolytes can only be satisfactorily explained if the current is largely anionic. The electrochemical stability window of these electrolytes on platinum is dominated by the presence of a water reduction peak starting at approximately -1.0V which limits the overall stability to approximately 2V. The onset of water reduction is displaced to more negative potentials (-3.0V), thus increasing the stability window, on vitreous carbon electrodes. The value of the double layer capacitance on vitreous carbon electrodes (15-30muF cm-2) agrees well with published data. The double layer capacitance of activated carbon cloth electrodes is lower than anticipated. The importance of faradaic charging and discharging currents to the successful operation of double layer capacitors is indicated but no problems relating to the specific use of polymer electrolytes in such devices were found.

Abstract:

Les matériaux dits de conversion à base de Sb et Sn, utilisés comme électrodes, apparaissent comme des composés particulièrement intéressants compte tenu de leur forte capacité théorique. Le matériau TiSnSb a été récemment développé en tant qu’électrode négative pour batteries lithium-ion. Ce matériau est capable d’accueilir, de façon réversible, 6,5 Li par unité formulaire, ce qui correspond à une capacité spécifique de 580 mAh/g. Dans le domaine des batteries lithium-ion, les propriétés de l’interface électrode/électrolyte (« solid electrolyte interphase », SEI), formant une couche de passivation protectrice à la surface des électrodes sont considérées comme essentielles pour les performances au sens large des batteries. Cet aspect représente le sujet majeur traité dans ce travail de thèse. Dans cet optique, nous avons tout d'abord étudié les propriétés électrochimiques de l'électrode TiSnSb sous divers aspects, dont les effets du régime de cyclage, l’influence de la nature des additifs au sein de l’électrolyte ainsi que l’utilisation de liquides ioniques à température ambiante (RTILs). En particulier, un système d'électrolyte à base de RTILs a été développé et optimisé vis-à-vis des performances électrochimiques. Afin de caractériser l’interface électrode-électrolyte, deux techniques de caractérisation majeures ont été utilisées : la Spectroscopie Photoélectronique à Rayonnement X (XPS) et la Spectroscopie d'Impédance électrochimique (EIS). Cette étude a permis de cibler certains paramètres essentiels liant les aspects performances électrochimiques à la nature de l’interface électrode-électrolyte
In the past decades, the need for portable power has accelerated due to the miniaturization of electronic appliances. It continues to drive research and development of advanced energy systems, especially for lithium ion battery systems. As a consequence, conversion materials for lithium-ion batteries, including Sb and Sn-based compounds, have attracted much intense attention for their high storage capacities. Among conversion materials, TiSnSb has been recently developed as a negative electrode for lithium-ion batteries. This material is able to reversibly take up 6.5 Li per formula unit which corresponds to a specific capacity of 580 mAh/g. In the field of lithium-ion battery research, the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) as a protective passivation film formed at electrode surface owing to the reduction of the electrolyte components, has been considered as a determinant factor on the performances of lithium-ion battery. Thus it has been a focused topic of many researches. However, little information can be found about the formation and composition of the SEI layer formed on TiSnSb conversion electrode at this time. With the aim to investigate the influences of the SEI layer on the performances of composite TiSnSb electrode, we first studied the electrochemical properties of the electrode from various aspects, including the effects of cycling rates, electrolyte additives, as well as room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Especially, a RTILs-based electrolyte system was developed and optimized by evaluating its physicochemical properties to be able to further improve the performances of TiSnSb electrode. In order to characterize the SEI layer formed at electrode surface, we performed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). This study allowed to target some essential parameters concerning electrochemical performances linked with the nature of the solid electrolyte interphase.*

Abstract:

The technology employed by human beings for the generation, storage and usage of energy is presently undergoing the fastest and most profound change since the industrial revolution. The changes in the generation and usage of energy necessitate the development of new methods of energy storage. In these systems, electrochemical energy storage will play a crucial role and to this end new electrolytes need to be explored to complement these changes. One such class of liquids is ionic liquids, a class of salts that are molten at room temperature. These liquids have a broad applicability to batteries and supercapacitors. This thesis details work where molecular dynamics simulations have been used to explore the nanostructure of ionic liquids and their mixtures with various molecular solvents at simplistic electrodes. The thesis has two broad sections. The first is covered in Chapter 3, and explores the nanostructure of ionic liquid propylene carbonate solutions, developing a framework through which these nanostructures can be understood. The section concludes that the increasing dilution of ionic liquids decreases the surface charge at which the characteristic ionic liquid oscillatory interfacial structure gives way to a different structure featuring monotonic charge decay. The behaviour of ionic liquids at interfaces is found to be correlated to ion size and type, as well as concentration. A wide divergence in the observed behaviour is shown at positive and negative electrodes due to the asymmetry of propylene carbonate. The second section, consisting of two chapters, explores the interfacial nanostructure of solvate ionic liquids using two different boundary conditions to model the electrode. This work is the first simulation of solvate ionic liquids at electrified interfaces. This section will explore the effect of electrode model on the behaviour of these ionic liquids at the electrode. Chapter 4 uses a fixed charge electrode, whereas Chapter 5 uses one with a fixed potential. The section concludes that regardless of electrode model, the idealised portrait of a solvate ionic liquid - one where the liquid behaves exactly as an aprotic ionic liquid - is not applicable. In Chapter 4's exploration of fixed charged electrodes, the formation of 2 glyme to lithium complexes contradicts the idealised portrait of the liquid. A different change is observed in Chapter 5's exploration of fixed potential electrodes, with both lithium glyme and lithium anion clusters forming at the interface. The key difference between the two studies is that lithium does not coordinate to the electrode in the fixed charge simulations, while in the fixed potential case it does. At the end of Chapter 5 the results are compared against experimental data, with the efficacy of the two models discussed. The aim of both studies is to look at the nanostructure of ionic liquids, when the symmetry between co-ion and cation repulsion - and related effects - is broken by the presence of a non ionic constituent in the liquid.

Abstract:

Ion transport in polymer electrolytes is, in general, strongly coupled to the segmental motions of the host polymer. Thus, ionic conductivity is not usually observed below the glass transition. Recent research has highlighted examples of polymer electrolytes in which the ionic conductivity is not coupled to the polymeric motions. This thesis investigates one such group of polymers: namely, liquid-crystalline side-chain polymers. The aim is to investigate the effect of different liquid crystal morphologies and to gain insight into the ion transport mechanism. The thermal, mechanical and electrical properties of three different liquid-crystalline side-chain polymer electrolytes have been investigated. These included calamitic and discotic phases, with clearing temperatures in the range 53-95°C. This study shows a general behaviour characteristics of a range of such systems. After passing through the clearing transition into the liquid crystalline phase, the conductivity falls away more slowly as the glass transition is approached. Conductivities at the clearing temperatures are typically 10^-7 S cm^-1. The conductivities of selected complexes are examined under variable pressure (0-160 MPa), and activation volumes, typically in the range 20-40 cm³ mol^-1, are obtained. Plots of E_A versus V_A reveal that the conductivity behaviour deviates from the PEO mechanism to varying degrees. Generally, introducing liquid crystalline side chains introduces more free volume into the system, and hence lowers the activation volumes. This new result supports an earlier proposal that the liquid crystalline phase opens up and stabilises the ethylene oxide structure, trapping in free volume, which is retained in the system as the glass transition is approached. Ion transport, however, remains dependent on local motions of the polymer. Optimisation of electrolyte properties depends on careful choice of system parameters (salt concentration, polymer morphology, etc).

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with ion-ion and ion-polymer interactions in liquid polymer electrolytes (LPE's). LPE's are useful analogues of visco-elastic polymer electrolytes (VEPE's) which might be used in high energy density batteries. The LPE's investigated comprise alkali metal salts dissolved in polyethers. Two types of polyether are studied, liquid copolymers of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO), and poly(propylene oxide) (PPO). Separation of an EO-rich phase at low temperature or,for some iodide salt solutions, precipitation of the salt at high temperature, are two phenomena found to limit the temperature range in which some LPE's remain homogeneous. A new parameter, the diffusion number, is defined to reflect the relative diffusional mobilities of the cation and anion ion-constituents. This parameter is influenced by the motion of neutral ion aggregates (e.g. ion-pairs) and is thus fundamentally different from classical transference numbers, which indicate the net ion-constituent migration during electrolysis in the absence of diffusion. Cation transference numbers (t+) are measured using the Hittorf method. The results, showing t+ = 0.05 (+0.05), suggest that the cation is almost immobile during electrolysis and are significantly different from the results of experiments intended to determine transference numbers in VEPE's. The discrepancy is explained in terms of a model which stresses the importance of the non-conductive motion of neutral ion-pairs in polymer electrolytes. Non-conductive motion is demonstrated by diffusion coefficients determined by pulsed magnetic field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance. Studies of the conductivity and viscosity of LPE's demonstrate the influence of the cation and the polymer on the degree of dissociation of the dissolved salt. The conductivity of PPO-based electrolytes is shown to display a very large end-group effect. The mobility of the dissociated ions is found to be dependent on the anion and the nature of the polymer back-bone.

Abstract:

Les batteries lithium-ion dominent le marché des appareils nomades et celui des véhicules électriques. Néanmoins elles posent des problèmes de sécurité liés à leur électrolyte, contenant des carbonates inflammables et volatils. Pour sécuriser ces systèmes, les liquides ioniques (LI) sont étudiés comme électrolytes alternatifs. Ce sont des sels liquides à température ambiante, réputés stables thermiquement et non inflammables. Ce caractère sécuritaire des LI, souvent avancé, est pourtant peu étayé par des expériences probantes. Les travaux de cette thèse visent à comprendre le comportement de ces LI en situations abusives, telles qu'un échauffement de la batterie, un feu ou une surcharge. Les températures de décomposition de LI contenant les cations imidazolium ou pyrrolidinium différemment substitués et l'anion bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ont été déterminées par analyse thermogravimétrique (ATG). Une analyse critique des données (de la littérature et de nos mesures) a permis de définir une procédure optimisée, pour obtenir des résultats reproductibles et comparables. Des électrolytes constitués de mélanges de carbonates ou de LI et de sels de lithium ont été analysés par ATG dynamique et isotherme, et leurs produits de décomposition ont été identifiés. Leur comportement au feu a été testé par la mesure des chaleurs de combustion, des délais d'inflammation et l'identification des gaz générés. Des tests de cyclage électrochimique ont été menés avec ces mêmes électrolytes dans des systèmes lithium-ion constitués des électrodes Li4Ti5O12 et LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2. L'évolution des électrolytes et des surfaces des électrodes en situation de surcharge a été examinée
Lithium-ion batteries are dominating both the nomad device and electric vehicle markets. However they raise safety concerns related to their electrolyte, which consists of flammable and volatile carbonate mixtures and toxic salts. The replacement of the latter by ionic liquids (IL), liquid salts claimed to be thermally stable and non-flammable, could provide a safer alternative. Yet this often claimed feature has been poorly examined by experiments. The work of this thesis investigates IL behaviour under abuse conditions such as overheating, fire or overcharge. Decomposition temperatures of IL based on differently substituted imidazolium or pyrrolidinium cations and the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion were determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). A critical study of gathered data (from literature and our work) led to the determination of an optimised procedure to obtain reproducible and comparable results. Electrolytes based on carbonates mixtures or IL and containing lithium salt were studied by dynamic and isothermal TGA, and their decomposition products were identified. Their combustion behaviour was also tested by measuring heats of combustion and ignition delays. Emitted gases were analysed and quantified. Electrochemical cycling tests were carried out with these electrolytes in lithium-ion systems based on Li4Ti5O12 and LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 electrodes. The evolution of the electrolytes and electrodes surface was also examined under overcharge

Abstract:

Potential electrolytes for dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical solar cells have been synthesized and their applicability has been investigated. Different experimental techniques were used in order to characterize the synthesized electrolytes, such as elemental analysis, electrospray ionisation/mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, dynamic viscosity measurements, as well as impedance, Raman and NMR spectroscopy. Some crystal structures were characterized by using single crystal X-ray diffraction.

In order to verify the eligibility of the ionic compounds as electrolytes for photoelectrochemical solar cells, photocurrent density/photovoltage and incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency measurements were performed, using different kinds of light sources as solar simulators. In electron kinetic studies, the electron transport times in the solar cells were investigated by using intensitymodulated photocurrent and photovoltage spectroscopy. The accumulated charge present in the semiconductor was studied in photocurrent transient measurements.

The ionic liquids were successfully used as solar cell electrolytes, especially those originating from the diethyl and dibutyl-alkylsulphonium iodides. The highest overall conversion efficiency of almost 4 % was achieved by a dye-sensitized, nanocrystalline solar cell using (Bu₂MeS)I:I₂ (100:1) as electrolyte (Air Mass 1.5 spectrum at 100 W m^-2), quite compatible with the standard efficiencies provided by organic solvent-containing cells. Several solar cells with iodine-doped metal-iodidebased electrolytes reached stable efficiencies over 2 %. The (Bu₂MeS)I:I₂-containing cells showed better long-term stabilities than the organic solvent-based cells, and provided the fastest electron transports as well as the highest charge accumulation.

Several polypyridyl-ruthenium complexes were tested as solar cell sensitizers. No general improvements could be observed according to the addition of amphiphilic co-adsorbents to the dyes or nanopartices of titanium dioxide to the electrolytes. For ionic liquid-containing solar cells, a saturation phenomena in the short-circuit current densities emerged at increased light intensities, probably due to inherent material transport limitation within the systems.

Some iodoargentates and -cuprates were structurally characterized, consisting of monomeric or polymeric entities with anionic networks or layers. A system of metal iodide crownether complexes were employed and tested as electrolytes in photoelectrochemical solar cells, though with poorer results. Also, the crystal structure of a copper-iodide-(12-crown-4) complex has been characterized

Abstract:

A systematic study of structure-property relations has been carried out on a range of polymers, both with and without mesogenic moieties. These materials have been characterised using various thermal techniques, including DSC and DMTA. These polymers have been complexed with LiClO₄ and the effects of the salt on thermal characteristics have been investigated. In addition, AC impedance spectroscopy has been employed to determine the temperature dependence of the conductivity of these complexes. Results suggest that polymers with mesogenic side groups have the potential to exhibit a conduction mechanism which is independent of both the glass transition temperature of the complex as determined by DSC and the corresponding structural relaxation detected using DMTA. It is found that the glass transition temperature of these materials is determined primarily by the side groups, and not by the polymer backbone. A model is thereby proposed in which ionic motion is decoupled from Tg, but still dependent on the local viscosity of the ionic environment. Appreciable conductivity is therefore observed below the glass transition temperature of the complex, thus resulting in dimensionally stable polymeric complexes with possible applications as solid state electrolytes in batteries.
