Electrolyte acidification from anode reactions during lithium mediated ammonia synthesis

A Review of Solid Electrolyte Interphases on Lithium Metal Anode

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are among the most promising candidates of high-energy-density devices for advanced energy storage. However, the growth of dendrites greatly hinders the practical applications of LMBs in portable electronics and electric vehicles. Constructing stable and efficient solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is among the most effective strategies to inhibit the dendrite gro...

Solid Electrolyte Interphase Formation on Silicon and Lithium Titanate Anode Materials in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Aiming at an improved knowledge of the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), as basis for the safe and efficient use of new anode materials, we investigated the SEI formation on silicon and lithium titanate (LTO) anodes by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. While the EIS measurements performed at equidista...

Electrochemical Synthesis of Ammonia in Solid Electrolyte Cells

*Correspondence: Michael Stoukides, Department of Chemical Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Building E13, Laboratory of Electrochemical Processes, Thessaloniki 54124, Greece e-mail: [email protected] Developed in the early 1900s, the “Haber–Bosch” synthesis is the dominant NH3 synthesis process. Parallel to catalyst optimization, current research efforts are also focused...

Solid Electrolyte Interphases: A Review of Solid Electrolyte Interphases on Lithium Metal Anode (Adv. Sci. 3/2016)

NMR Study of the Solid Electrolyte Interface on a High Performance Lithium Metal Anode

Introduction: Li metal is an ideal anode material due to its low density (0.534 g cm -3 ), the lowest negative electrochemical potential (-3.040 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode) and extremely high theoretical special capacity (3860 mAh g -1 ), which is ten times as high as that of carbonaceous materials. However, several seemingly insurmountable barriers, including limited Columbic efficiency...
