Influence of Lithium Salts on Solid Electrolyte Interphase Formation and Interfacial Resistance in Silicon Monoxide-Based Lithium Secondary Batteries

Article Preview

Abstract:

Different lithium salts influence the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer and interfacial resistance in silicon monoxide (SiO)-based lithium secondary batteries. This study examined the effects of four lithium salts, specifically LiPF6, LiBF4, LiClO4, and LiCF3SO3, on SEI characteristics and electrochemical performance using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results indicate that SEI formation is essential for stabilizing the electrode interface, with each lithium salt significantly affecting the physicochemical properties of the SEI and interfacial resistance. Notably, LiClO4 produced a more conductive SEI layer, reducing overall resistance and enhancing lithiation efficiency, while LiCF3SO3 exhibited better electrode compatibility, resulting in improved Coulombic efficiency. These findings highlight the potential for optimizing lithium salt composition in the electrolyte to improve the stability, cycle life, and performance of SiO-based lithium-ion batteries.
