We present highly promising results for the use of graphite as both electrodes in a “dual-carbon” cell. An ionic liquid-based electrolyte mixture allows stable and reversible ion intercalation/de-intercalation into/from electrodes.
Abstract Electrochemical energy storage at a large scale poses one of the main technological challenges this century. The scientific community in academia and industry worldwide intensively is exploring various alternative rechargeable battery concepts beside state‐of‐the‐art lithium ion batteries (LIBs), for example, all‐solid‐state batteries, lithium/sulfur magnesium/sulfur or dual‐ion that could outperform LIBs different aspects. Often, these also promise very high theoretical energies...
In order to increase the energy content of lithium ion batteries (LIBs), researchers worldwide focus on high specific (Wh/kg) and density (Wh/L) anode cathode materials. However, most attention is primarily paid gravimetric and/or volumetric capacities these materials, while other key parameters are often neglected. For practical applications, in particular for large size battery cells, Coulombic efficiency (CE), voltage (VE), (EE) have be considered, which we point out this work by...
In a lithium ion battery, balancing of active materials is an essential requirement with respect to safety and cycle life. However, capacity oversizing negative electrodes associated decrease specific energy/energy density. this work, the required trade-off between maximized energy minimized risk plating thoroughly investigated by evaluating underlying potential/voltage curves. The adjustment targeted state charge (SOC) for both, positive electrode, can be achieved intentional selection only...

While the LiC x /C redox couple major active compound for state‐of‐the‐art negative electrodes in lithium‐ion batteries, GICs were proposed positive “dual‐ion” “dual‐graphite” cell, another type energy storage system. In this...
Electrochemical energy storage devices utilizing graphitic carbons as positive electrode material have been proposed "dual-ion cells". In this type of electrochemical cell, the electrolyte does not only act a charge carrier, but additionally active material. process, lithium ions are inserted/intercalated or deposited into/on negative electrode, e. g. Li4Ti5O12, graphite metallic lithium, and anions intercalated into electrode. discharge both released back electrolyte. We report herein on...
The inability of imide salts to form a sufficiently effective passivation layer on aluminum current collectors is one the main obstacles that limit their broad application in electrochemical energy-storage systems. However, under certain circumstances, use electrolytes with electrolyte combination collector possible.

Dual-ion cells based on the anion intercalation into a graphite positive electrode have been proposed as electrochemical energy storage devices. In this set-up, electrolyte, in case mixture of N -butyl- -methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (Pyr 14 TFSI) and lithium (LiTFSI) acts not only charge carrier, but also active material.

Abstract The formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and corresponding irreversible capacity ( C irr ) graphite negative electrodes in lithium-ion batteries strongly depend on surface morphology chemistry respective material. In particular, not only BET specific area but also absolute relative extent basal plane “non-basal plane” play a crucial role SEI formation, as transport lithium ions into/from anode during charge/discharge operation mainly takes place via prismatic...
Different types of carbonaceous materials, such as graphite and carbon black, are typically used conductive additives in composite electrodes for lithium-ion cells. Since the next generation cathode so-called 5 V materials like LiCoPO 4 , operate at potentials above 4.5 vs. Li/Li + issue anion intercalation into additive needs to be seriously considered. The from organic-solvent based electrolytes more graphitic carbons can accompanied by a solvent co-intercalation reaction, which may lead...
Abstract The chemical compatibility of the various compounds and elements used in lithium‐based batteries dictates their safe operation parameters performance. lithium salt Li‐bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) has many advantages over common LiPF 6 as it does not react with water impurities to form, for example, hydrofluoric acid. To further accommodate safe‐operation chemistry, we use a non‐volatile disiloxane‐based solvent 1,3‐bis(cyanopropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane (TmdSx‐CN)....
